A Normal Mother

The wedding came a little after the papers had been done. It happened privately in the presence of their parents and the person administering that life-changing event.

Their first kiss happened in that very moment. Christina—or Hao Suyin—was not even that sad that it was not something more romantic. For them, it was about fulfilling their duties to each others. 

It was a light touch of their lips. A quick smack that they could even pretend that it did not happen. There was just a small celebration in their house.

If he was being honest, Qing Zihao liked that it was done in secret. It gave off some very drama feels to it. They were like star-crossed lovers—maybe they really were.

The rest of the day flew by like it was normal even though they were given their own house to stay in. Both of them fixed their belongings (mainly, it was just Hao Suyin helping Qing Zihao as she only had a few things she could call her possessions).
