Jospehine, "Doesn't that mean, Wang Xiao, you'd have to marry me...?"
"..."
Wang Xiao, initially speechless, gazed at Josephine, a whirlwind of emotions flickering across his face. After a moment, he gave a small nod, surprising even her, as she had half-jokingly teased him. Then, with a swift movement, he caught her shoulders and turned her around.
"Let's start with the first rite of marriage then!" he declared, his voice resonating with a mix of playfulness and seriousness.
Josephine's eyes widened in shock and a hint of amusement. "No! We still haven't eaten any—"
Her protest was abruptly cut short, her words trailing off into the air. A realization dawned on her – the night ahead promised to be long and eventful, possibly leaving them with empty stomachs but filled with other indulgences, as Wang Xiao 'devoured' her in a different manner.
