17 Vows Of Love

Lan Wangji

The next morning, they headed for the Cloud Recesses after saying farewell to Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling. They walked side by side for most of the day and soon, they found their son, Ah Yuan running to meet with them, just at the entrance of the Clan.

"Ah Yuan... you got a bit taller..." Wei said, having a better look at him, after hugging his son and the young man smiled.

"Senior Wei... did you take good care of yourself?" Sizhui asked, seen him a hint more thinner.

"Ah Yuan, what's with this Senior thing... I was your father for a whole year, call me as such." Wei Ying suggested, but Sizhui ignored it, turning to bow to his real father, Lan Wangji.

"Light Bearing Lord, I hope he had not cause you too many headaches." Wei Ying arched an eyebrow.

"Hey, ungrateful son, why would I cause him headaches, he lo..."

"Wei Ying, he is not serious." Wangji intervened, before the teasing and discussion could prolong until nightfall.

"Yeah, yeah... how is Wen Ning? Is he adapting well?" Wei Ying asked passing an arm over his son shoulders, as they walked up the stair of the entrance.

"Yes. The locals no longer fear him and he does go in night hunting's every night to keep the town safe and he does help to unload some heavy cargo from the restaurants and gets paid a little money. He is doing fine and I always keep my eyes on him. No one dares to bully him these days... he is almost a Clan member..." Wei smiled.

"I'm glad he found his place, but don't go telling Lan Qiren of Wen Ning been 'almost' a Clan member. You will overwhelm him... he had more than enough with me." Sizhui smiled.

"He had been in a poor mood since early in the morning." Wei looked back to Lan Zhan, who slightly smiled at him.

"I will behave, I promise... Ah Yuan, can you make me a favor?" Wei Ying asked and he assented.

"Yes, of course, as long as it doesn't mean breaking rules, you know that alcohol is forbidden here." Sizhui said.

"Ah, there is no need for that, what I need is something else, not forbidden, but maybe hard to find inside the Clan." Wei continue.

"Hum, then I see if I can get it for you." He said happily.

"Good boy. Lan Zhan, can you lend me some money?" He turned and Wangji took his money pouch out without hesitation and offer it to his lover.

"Alright... go down to the town now and buy something for me, then leave it in Lan Zhan's room." Now Ah Yuan was curious, taking the money his shameless father offered.

"Then, what should I buy?" Wei Ying came closer and whisper into his son ear, something Wangji was unable to hear, still, seen his son blush a bit, it shouldn't be nothing descent. He sighed, as Sizhui went away in haste. Wei give Lan Zhan back his money pouch with a devilish smile.

"Here... Thank you. Maybe I should ask for payment when training the brats in the Lotus Pier."

"Wei Ying, don't tell our son shameless things." Wangji told him, but his lover only smiled.

"I promise is not something shameless... just something special, for our wedding. Now, come here, my Lan Zhan and give me a kiss before we can be spotted by the Clan members. You will not had another chance until nightfall, after all."

"My Uncle already knows about our relationship, for which he could not avoid inviting you. We don't need to hide it."

"But he will not tolerate for us to show affection in front of him, right? Come here Lan Wangji... while we are still alone." Wei said, pulling him close by the waist to steal a short kiss from him.

Wangji, as usual could not resist Wei Ying's teasing, already wanting more than a small one, but as his lover pull away, he resigned himself to wait until nightfall to have him back to his arms, where he belonged. Whatever surprise ha had asked Sizhui to buy, it will had to wait until they spent their mutual passion.

"Now, let's go. I don't want for your Uncle to tell you we are late." Wei said, taking his hand and pulling him as he smiled brightly, for which his heart went crazy for him all over again. Wei Ying could pretty much do whatever he wanted with him, because he was addicted to his wonderful lover in every single way and now that they were finally together he honestly couldn't get enough of him.

Once they reached the top of the stairs, they went to meet with Xichen and bow to him in respect. They stay with him for a while, getting all the news form the Chief Cultivator, although they already had an insight with Jiang Cheng. His Uncle came in a bit later, mostly because he was busy supervising the feast preparation.

He gave Wei Ying a cold stare, but otherwise he didn't said anything. Truth to his word, Wei Ying behave during their short conversation, then they went out to have some rest and change, as it was getting late. By then, Ah Yuan had delivered what he was asked to buy, so Wei Ying hastily took it from the table and hide it away. Then he smiled sweetly at him, telling him he will find out later what it was.

They got a cold bath, then changed clothes and prepare for the banquet. Wangji guided Ying to the big room and show him were to sit, by him. During the whole family event, Wei Ying was the perfect guest, didn't spoke when eating, forcing himself to eat all that was served, even when it was mostly plain with little flavor.

He slightly smiled at his lover for forcing himself to eat something that he would not touch otherwise. It showed that Wei Ying really wanted for his Uncle to approve of him, mostly for his sake, which only make him love Ying more.

Two hours later, they could finally go and he took the opportunity to guide Wei Ying back to their room, thinking in giving in to their love, but Wei had his mind set in the wedding. At that time, most Clan members were in curfew, so they could go to the Lan Clan Ancestral Hall without finding a soul. However, as he was going out, his lover stop him.

"Lan Zhan... let's make it properly... put this on." He said while offering him a package with another devastating smile that melted his heart.

"What is this?" Wangji asked.

"Just open it... it will look very good on you." Wei told him and so he open the thing, to see red robes.

"A real weeding is done in red..." Wei whisper just before he put his arms around his neck and kiss him.

"Wei Ying... don't kiss me like that, or we may not make it to the hall..." His mischievous lover smiled widely, but let go of him.

"Fine... go on and put it on, I will put mine..." He said and turned to pick up his. Shortly after, both of them were wearing red and walked hand in hand toward their destination. As expected, the Hall was empty, so they stood in front of Lan Zhan's parents and bowed deeply to them, then they bow again and finally they bow to each other.

"Lan Zhan... you are my official husband now." Wei Ying told him with a mischievous smile.

"Like I said, even Sizhui see me as the husband..." Wei took his hand and pull him out the Ancestral Hall, running like mischievous kids, dressed in red, with Wei slightly laughing.

Lan Wangji had to admit Wei Ying looked beautiful in red, under the light of the moon and he was happy. Sometimes he worry that it may all be a dream and he will wake up finding out Wei Ying was forever gone, but the truth was that he was there, at his reach and at his mercy... he loved the man more than he loved anything else, including himself.

So he smiled too, satisfy they were now truly married and happy with their union. Wei Ying guide him toward their room and once inside, he closed the door and was instantly over him. He had jumped, so Wangji will catch him, grabbing him by his buttocks, while Wei passionately kissed him, deepening the kiss.

"Lan Zhan... don't hold back tonight..." Wei Ying whisper over his lips and he moved toward the bed with his lover still clinging on him and putting him down carefully, once reaching the bed. Then he lay over Ying, feeling his arousal against his own.

"Wei Ying... I love you..." Wangji whisper, as he separate from him to breathe.

"So do I... I know I am late... but maybe it was better this way. If I had fall for you before, maybe I would had cause you to die with me, then our story would had end there. Now, we have a brighter future ahead of us and nothing to stop us from reaching true happiness... by the way, you look too handsome in red. I like it..." Wangji smirked.

"You were itching to dress me in colors..." he said, kissing his husband again. "A shame it will not last long." Wangji added, as he sat over Wei and begin taking the belt off.

"Wait... let me undress you. I had reached perfection doing it almost every night." Yep, he had only failed to do so when sick after overdoing his cultivation, but otherwise, he had develop a kind of sensual ritual that never failed to arose his man.

Wangji smiled and help Wei Ying up, then simply allowed him to take off his clothes, one thing at a time while he leaved traces of his kisses and bites all over his skin. He was in heaven once again, this time fully belonging to the one he had yearned for so very long.

Even if Wei Ying wanted for them to finish their wedding in the Lotus Pier, it was no longer necessary, because even in a place Ying was not comfortable with, he had wished to marry him there, right in front of his parents and in his home, despite all the restrictions. Then make love in that special room that will put an end to the silly wait for a mother that he knew will never come, because now he had a family of his own.

A shameless husband that was his life and a son that he inherit from his lover, to give him a reason to keep on living and searching for his happy ending. A link to the past and a hope for a future. Seen Wei Ying by his side, holding him every day was all he needed and having him touching, kissing and pleasing him in such a wonderful way was more than he had dreamed off.

Wei Ying was officially his now and he could not be happier.
