Chapter 448

Red Lane, Town Center, Hangzhou.
A series of cars entered the gate of the Hangzhou Marriage Bureau and Court, and when they arrived in front of the building, a few people who were already waiting for them there, immediately stepped forward.
"Master Demiliore." A middle-aged and well-kept man, who was wearing a light smile on his face, bowed to him, and the people who were standing behind him followed his lead.
"Mr. Wei." Keith smiled at the man when the latter straightened his back. "I am glad you came." He said as he drew his hand forward and shook hands with him.
"It's our honour." The man sincerely said and then looked at his niece, who pouted when she saw him look her way. "Feifei."
"Uncle Yang." She greeted him with a slight bow and smiled when the man laughed at her behaviour.
"Congratulations."
"I haven't gotten married yet." She reminded him with a grin, and the man laughed some more.
Wei Yang greeted Qingyue and Rouxi next, and then led Keith and the rest inside the building, straight to the room where the Magistrate was waiting for them.
Everyone stood up and bowed when they entered the office, and as soon as Keith took his seat with Feifei and Rouxi on his sides, the Magistrate handed the two ladies their files.
The lawyers were already present in the room, and under their instructions, both Rouxi and Feifei started filling out their forms.
Iseul was dealing with the documents on Keith's behalf and she had gotten everything ready last night after dinner. The procedure, which would otherwise have taken a few days, was completed in just a few minutes, and no one in the room was really surprised about it.
Fifteen minutes later, all forms had been filled, the pictures had been taken, and Keith smiled when he went through the final files.
Both Rouxi and Feifei had chosen to take his surname, and as soon as all three of them signed the Marriage Certificates, the lawyers and the government agents got to work.
It only took an hour before both Rouxi and Feifei received their new Identity Cards and Passports, along with their signed and registered Marriage Certificates.
A round of greetings and well wishes began, and then Feifei formally invited her Uncle and the Wei Family to join them for dinner tonight.
Iseul, on behalf of the three of them, together with Wei Yang, spoke to the news reporter who had been called, and once all procedures were completed, they left to office and headed out of the building.
They all came to a stop when they saw some familiar faces entering the building, and it was the same for the other party.
"Mr. Qin." Keith smiled at the Child of Destiny, who frowned at him, finding it strange that they had come across each other for the second time in two days, but then bowed in a greeting.
"Mr. Demiliore."
The equal exchange of greeting made some people frown, including Wei Yang, but no one called out Qin Feng about it or corrected him when Keith did not seem to mind it.
"What brings you here? Are you getting married too?" He smiled and curiously asked.
Qin Feng frowned some more at his words and then glanced at the ladies who were by Keith's side.
He saw the red files in the hands of Rouxi and Feifei and understood in a second what they were.
The Inheritor of Hades did not know why he suddenly felt so hollow in his heart, but for the last year, only pain and hollowness had been his companion.
"Yes, we are here to collect our certificate. Congratulations on getting married again, Mr. Demiliore. Best of luck." He smiled, despite the unease in his heart.
"Thank you." Keith nodded to him and then politely smiled at Wang Sisi, who was blankly staring at him and the girls by his side. "Congratulations, Miss Wang."
Qin Feng raised his brow when he did not hear Sisi reply to Keith, and when he glanced at his wife-to-be, he frowned at the blank expression she was wearing, almost on the verge of shedding tears.
Sisi was beautiful, but she was not someone he really cared about. The only reason he was even marrying her was that he realised that he had wronged her, and he wanted to start a new life. And then there was this uneasy feeling in his heart since last night.
He had never before felt like this after bedding a girl, even if she was a maiden, and he had never looked back at the one-night stands that he had in his life.
Qin Feng felt that the accident that happened between him and Sisi was a signal from Fate, and this was why he had immediately agreed when the Wang Family raised the matter with him in the morning.
However, seeing the girl he had bedded, and whom he now considered his woman, staring blankly at another man did not sit well with his heart.
Had he not slept with her and deflowered her on Sunday night, he would have misunderstood that Keith and she shared some past, and it was the only reason why he was not burning in rage right now and his heart was not too restless.
"Congratulations, Sisi." Feifei, who too did not like how Sisi was staring at Keith, suddenly spoke up, and her words broke the girl out of her trance.
"Thank you."
The hollowness in her words and the pain in her heart suffocated the Wei Princess, who could sense it all.
Wang Sisi was being forced to marry her rapist...
The absence of any hint of happiness in her voice, which everyone present there sensed, was a strong blow to Qin Feng's pride.
"Are you going to hold a Wedding Ceremony?" Keith suddenly asked.
"Yes." Qin Feng replied with a smile, surprising Wang Sisi. "I hope you will join us this weekend."
"We will be there if I am in Hangzhou. Miss Wang is a classmate of my wives, and they would like to be a part of her big day." He informed the Child of Destiny.
"Oh, is that so?" He surprisedly looked at Sisi, and the girl nodded her head in reply.
"Are the two of you going to hold a joint Wedding Ceremony?" Sisi suddenly asked as she smiled and looked at Feifei and Rouxi, and there was a hint of scorn, and lament, in her question too that a certain girl clearly sensed.
"We are, but the Ceremony is going to be a private affair. Only our immediate family will attend it." Feifei told her.
"You are not going to invite the class?"
"No." She straightforwardly said and then smiled. "Congratulations, Sisi. I wish you the best of luck in your life."
"Thank you."
"Please excuse us, we have some things to take care of." Feifei smiled at all of them before she said her words and started to leave, and both Rouxi and Qingyue followed her.
Wei Yang briefly greeted the members of the Wang Family who were with Qin Feng and Wang Sisi, and then Keith bid farewell to the Child of Destiny and walked out of the building.
It was not until he entered the car that Feifei, who was waiting for him, asked the questions that were on her and Rouxi's minds.
"How come they are getting married only a day later? Was he not in jail last night?"
"Something must have happened." Qingyue frowned. "Do you think the Qin Family interfered? Or was it the Dragon Soul?"
"Could be both." Keith shrugged.
"She does not like him. She was hurting." Feifei suddenly said. "I sensed how dissatisfied she was with Qin Feng, and when she looked at us, she was burning in envy..."
"It's not our concern." Rouxi cut in, sternly looking at her best friend, who just shrugged and then smiled when her phone suddenly rang.
"Grandpa!" She excitedly picked up the call and laughed as she heard her grandfather's words. "Thank you! Are you coming tonight?" She nodded her head when she listened to his answer, and they all found her action quite adorable. "Good! And don't forget my present! You must also bring one for Rouxi." She instructed and reminded him, and then ended the call. "Everyone's coming!" She excitedly informed them.
Keith and Qingyue laughed at her enthusiasm and then they drove back to the Manor.
Fiona, Ayesha, and Yingying had stayed back as they were busy preparing for tonight's dinner, and when they saw two cars parked in front of the manor, an excited smile crept on Qingyue's face.
"They are here!"
"Who?" Feifei curiously asked.
"I called Amelia and Rebecca last night as we needed some help with the Ceremony on Friday, so one of them must have come here."
"They are both here," Keith informed them, much to her glee, and Qingyue laughed when they heard an excited voice as soon as they stopped and got out of their car.
"Keith!"
Rouxi and Feifei curiously looked at the entrance of the Manor, and then they watched a blonde girl rushing out and jumping into Keith's arms.
He spun around with her as they shared a kiss, and when he put her down to her feet, she proceeded to hug Qingyue.
"Did Amira and Reina come too?" The grey-eyed girl asked, already knowing that Marianne was there because she was Rebecca's Shadow.
"Yes. Amy, Nana, Zoey, and Helena are here as well. Everyone else is in Essra right now, and they will be here by Thursday." She informed her before looking at Feifei and Rouxi.
The two did not know why they felt a sudden weight on their hearts as soon as her ocean-blue eyes landed on them.
There was just something about her presence that yelled Divine to them. But when they recalled that the girl before them was Keith's daughter and the Inheritor of Hecate, things finally made sense to them.
"You two are beautiful!" Rebecca sincerely said before she stepped forward and hugged them one by one. "Welcome to the family!"
"Thank you." Feifei blushed a little and then introduced herself to Keith's blonde wife.
"I am Rouxi." The Child of Destiny introduced herself as well, and then they all looked over and saw Keith get jumped by his girls one after the other.
