Dominating the Powerful Families: Rebirth of Chapter 300 Regarding the Marriage_1

With a queenly sidelong glare, Shen Tianxing asked him indifferently, "If I don’t marry you, you won’t let me sleep?"

Dugu Zixi immediately clung to her shamelessly, wrapping her in a tight hug as he said, "Let’s let’s let’s, how about I let you sleep right now?"

Shen Tianxing had never witnessed such brazenness from Dugu Zixi before, and she couldn’t hold back a "pfft" of laughter. "Little Xixi, you’re going all out just to sleep with me! Don’t you have any shame left?"

Dugu Zixi declared with utter entitlement, "I’d even sacrifice my dignity to sleep with my wife. Xiaoxing, look how pathetic I am— just give in to me!"

Shen Tianxing shot him a reproachful glare and lightly shoved him with her hand. "Get off me!"

Rather than retreat, Dugu Zixi advanced boldly, pressing her down underneath him and capturing her lips in a fierce, swirling, sucking kiss full of deep passion.

Soon, Shen Tianxing melted under his kiss, her breathing turning soft and ragged.

In the final instant, she managed to push him back, cheeks burning red as she pleaded, "Zixi, I want our perfect wedding night, so can we save this for then, okay?"

How could Dugu Zixi possibly deny her soft plea?

He let his striking face droop on purpose, whining dramatically, "Poor me, waiting year after year with no reward. My dear Xiaoxing, you promised we’d marry after your college graduation. How can you back out now?"

A smile played on Shen Tianxing’s lips as she gazed at him. "Convince my dad and mom, and I’m all in!"

Dugu Zixi clenched his teeth. "Fine! Just you wait!"

Dugu Zixi’s proposal fell short once more; he needed to keep scheming ways past Shen Tianxing’s parental blockade.

Shen Tianxing’s eighteenth birthday bash took place at the Shen Family Ecological Estate Resort Hotel.

She kept the guest list small: her family, the Dugu Family, the Fu Family, General Li, Sun Datong, Duan Muyan, and Xiao Jiuchong.

Along with a handful of close classmates like Jiang Hua, Wu Haishan, Gao Lingfeng, Li Kai, Fang Xiaoxiao, and their advisor Cheng Tingan.

Plus her reliable assistants such as Kong Zhongshu, Long Yang, and various executives—most being tight-knit friends or kin.

The CEO and his wife honored Tianxing by arriving discreetly via private jet for her eighteenth birthday and coming-of-age rite.

That day brought Shen Tianxing a flood of gifts and heartfelt blessings.

During the coming-of-age banquet, Grandma Dugu spoke for the Dugu Family, beaming as she pressed Shen Wenru and Li Xiuxia: "Wenru, Axia, now Xiaoxing’s come of age and can legally wed. These two have dated long enough and are smitten. Why not choose an auspicious date soon for their wedding, so us elders can cradle a golden grandbaby from both sides?"

Shen Wenru and Li Xiuxia exchanged uneasy looks.

Grandma Dugu wasn’t some youthful Dugu Zixi they could easily stall.

Shen Wenru pondered briefly yet held firm. "Dear in-law, Xiaoxing just hit eighteen, and as parents, we can’t bear letting her go yet. Can we keep her home a bit longer?"

Grandma Dugu replied smilingly, "Every girl marries someday. Even wed into our family, Xiaoxing stays right here in the Capital City, same as before!"

"She can visit her parents whenever, and we’d never hold Xiaoxing back."

"We just yearn to formalize their bond quick, letting them be together boldly without scandal. Delaying the wedding makes folks think the Dugu Family scorns Xiaoxing or Zixi shirks duty—right?"

Shen Wenru found himself tongue-tied by Grandma Dugu’s words, trapped between yes and no, feeling utterly uncomfortable.

Li Xiuxia smiled to ease the tension. "Let’s honor Xiaoxing’s choice! It’s her and Zixi’s union, after all. We parents must respect her view. If she’s ready, we’ll throw a lavish wedding; if not, we won’t push her."

Noticing Li Xiuxia softening, Grandma Dugu shared a quick look with Dugu Zixi before grinning. "Our Zixi’s always eager to wed Xiaoxing—no doubts there. It’s all on Xiaoxing now. Xiaoxing, will you marry our Zixi?"

Shen Tianxing beamed sweetly. "Grandma, of course I want to marry Zixi, but I’ve been swamped launching the charity hospital—no time for wedding prep!"

Grandma Dugu gestured expansively. "Willing is what counts! We’ll handle every wedding detail for a dazzling event—you won’t lift a finger. Just appear on the big day!"

Helplessness crossed Shen Tianxing’s face.

She scanned for rescue, eyeing her dad Shen Wenru, but he looked equally stumped; then her mom Li Xiuxia, who offered no aid.

Far from help, her kin and pals began ribbing her relentlessly.

"Xiaoxing, Zixi’s top-notch—marry him quick!"

"Yeah, Xiaoxing, guys like Zixi are rare—snag him fast!"

"Xiaoxing, I’ll stuff your wedding red envelope huge—marry now!"

"Marry him! Marry him!"

Soon, the whole crowd clapped and chanted thunderously, "Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!"

Shen Tianxing glanced at Dugu’s grandparents, then Dugu Jun’an and Ye Ningning, and lastly Dugu Zixi. Meeting his hopeful, eager eyes, she finally yielded with a nod and smile. "Okay! I’ll marry!"

The moment Shen Tianxing agreed, cheers erupted. "Wow, awesome!"

"Zixi, congrats! You’ve claimed your beauty at last!"

"Zixi, what’re you waiting for? Kiss your bride-to-be now!"

Dugu Zixi stood dumbfounded by the abrupt bliss!

He’d braced for refusal, viewing the teasing from loved ones as lighthearted fun.

Yet astonishingly, despite his earnest pleas, feigned folly, and pitiful acts, Shen Tianxing hadn’t consented before. But amid today’s group ribbing, she nodded yes to marriage!

This surprise joy thrilled him speechless!

Snapping back, Dugu Zixi flung open his arms, swept up the nearby Shen Tianxing into his hold, and planted a wild kiss on her lips.
