Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

It contains her as a newborn, still innocent and naive; her carefree childhood; and her pampered and rebellious school days.

Although she felt a little ashamed upon closer examination, Su Wanxi still wanted to share this version of herself with Gu Cheng.

Her past, her history, her entire life trajectory from birth to the present.

......

The next morning, Gu Cheng and Su Wanxi got out of bed immediately after hearing the alarm clock ring, washed up, and prepared to visit relatives and friends as planned.

Su Wanshan and Song Yuling had just woken up and were helping Aunt Li make breakfast in the kitchen. Su Changqing was watching the Spring Festival Gala recording in the living room. When his family told him that there were still five or six minutes until dinner, he went downstairs to the smoking room and soon returned to the table with a bit of smoke on him.

After finishing breakfast, Su Wanxi calmly sat down on the sofa in the dressing room, looked at Gu Cheng in front of her wearing a caramel-colored coat, a turtleneck sweater, and apricot-colored straight-leg pants, and took a sip of hot tea.

"Su Wanwan, how about this?"

Gu Cheng looked in the dressing mirror and added a light white scarf. Ten white and pink fingers peeked out from the cuffs, resting quietly on the plush fabric, exuding a playful yet gentle charm.

Su Wanxi thought for a moment, then handed her wife a pair of beige ankle boots. Gu Cheng bent down to put them on, stomped her feet, and carefully examined herself in the mirror. After a moment, her pink lips curled up slightly, clearly quite satisfied with her New Year's greeting look.

She took the teacup and sipped it slowly. A little while later, Su Wanxi changed into a new outfit. Today she wore a cream-colored knit dress with sheer stockings and brown ankle boots. Compared to her usual all-black outfit, she looked less aloof and more relaxed and casual.

"Wanwan, let me help you apply foundation~"

She sat down at the vanity to touch up her light makeup. Watching Gu Cheng's fair and smooth wrists sway gently in front of her, Su Wanxi closed her eyes and let the eyebrow pencil outline her eyelashes.

Finally, a slightly cool sensation came from my lips.

Su Wanxi asked Gu Cheng what flavor her lip gloss was today.

"I don't know, it's the one you said looked like ice cream last time."

Gu Cheng looked at Su Wanxi, who was so beautiful that she was beyond compare, and felt a slight warmth in her heart.

Her daughter Wanwan is so beautiful!

The next second, Mo Tong suddenly opened his eyes, and Su Wanxi raised his head and placed a kiss on Gu Chengying's lips.

It's icy cold, smooth and soft, and it tastes and feels just like ice cream.

"Then tell me, Orange, what flavor does my lip gloss taste like?" Su Wanxi asked with a smile as she released her lips.

Gu Cheng stared at the other party's rosy and alluring cherry blossom petals, her index finger gently touching her lips. After a moment, she answered softly.

"Grape flavor."

"Not accurate enough~" Su Wanxi took the lip gloss and smoothed out the smudged areas.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was still thinking, she simply held Gu Cheng's chin, switched to another lip gloss, and gently applied it.

"It's grape-flavored cream ice cream~" The last few words were suddenly emphasized.

Having been thoroughly teased first thing in the morning, Gu Cheng blinked and shyly pinched Su Wanxi's waist.

"Su Wanwan, you're making that inappropriate joke again!"

When I get home tonight, I'll see how she deals with her.

Upon hearing this, Su Wanxi touched her earlobe, her face still bearing a gentle smile. She turned to the side and, as if by magic, produced several large, bright red envelopes from behind her back.

“Orange, send this message when you see the child at your relative’s house.”

Gu Cheng took the red envelope; it was thick and bulging, and it didn't look like a small amount.

How much New Year's money was given in total?

"Thirty or forty thousand, I guess."

Gu Cheng thought for a moment and transferred 20,000 yuan to Su Wanxi's bank card. The latter frowned slightly and was about to speak when she heard Gu Cheng say in a gentle voice.

“I will be considered their elder in the future, so how can I let Wanwan give out all the New Year’s money?”

"Your wife now has at least a ten-figure savings account, she'll never be poor."

Chapter 447 (Extra Chapter 7)

Because of Gu Cheng's outstanding performance in the Nidhogg battle, the Chinese government awarded her a huge bonus and held an award ceremony for relevant personnel a month later.

From the moment she received the medal, Gu Cheng enjoyed all the benefits of a retired soldier. Her personal safety would be directly linked to national defense, and any organization or individual in the country who caused her harm would be convicted of treason.

Mystical powers have almost disappeared in reality, and the raven has lost the soil and shield it relied on for survival. Its demise is only a matter of time.

The greatest significance of this measure lies in warning the remaining forces of the Jackdaws and curbing the fanatics from carrying out a series of retaliatory acts.

The operation was handed over to the military. Meanwhile, Gu Cheng, who had just received her reward, was in a daze. She saw an absurdly large ten-digit number in her bank account. After thinking for a moment, she realized that the first digit represented her current dozen or so small goals.

What can relieve worries? Only sudden wealth.

The next afternoon, Dean Xu heard that someone had donated an entire dormitory building to the Sunshine Welfare Home and was also planning to renovate the playground. He suddenly looked decades younger.

Su Wanxi knew that Gu Cheng was now a well-off young lady, so she didn't stop her from giving New Year's money to the younger generation, and even felt a little sweet inside.

Money is a minor matter; what matters most is the unique meaning behind the actions.

They are lovers, and they are family.

Su Wanxi became happier the more she thought about it, and the corners of her lips unconsciously turned up. After leaving the mansion, she reached out and touched the scarf around Gu Cheng's neck, her fingertip lightly touching the tip of the other's nose.

"Let's go, my dear little orange rich girl."

Smelling the faint, cool fragrance emanating from Su Wanxi, Gu Chengshui narrowed his eyes, tilted his head slightly to the side, and rubbed his smooth, fair cheek against his fiancée's hand.

"Mmm~" she replied softly and obediently.

The outdoor temperature was very low, and they hadn't brought gloves when they came out. Su Wanxi took Gu Cheng's soft hand and her brown calf boots clattered on the ground.

The first person they were going to meet was Grandpa Su, who lived far away in the suburbs. They would stay there for lunch and then drive to Uncle Su Yansheng's house to pay their respects around four or five o'clock.

......

From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fourth, Gu Cheng accompanied Su Wanxi to visit relatives for four whole days, including those with whom she had close relationships and frequent interactions.

As the last day ended, Gu Cheng was so tired that she didn't want to move. After taking a shower, she lay on the bed wrapped in a blanket, with her phone far away.

After Su Wanxi dried her hair and came into the room, she quickly picked up a corner of the blanket, gave the warm spot to the other person, and then continued to lie there like a couch potato.

"tired?"

Su Wanxi stretched out her long legs, patted her face, and her long black hair intertwined with the woman's smooth light brown hair.

Gu Cheng gave a soft "hmm" and leaned her arm behind Su Wanxi's back.

"Mainly... I'm a little nervous..."

Gu Cheng had to pay attention to her appearance at all times and maintain good facial expression control, so she dared not relax her vigilance at all.

Thanks to Su Wanxi's constant companionship, she really didn't know what to do.

Su Wanxi smiled gently upon hearing this, pinched Gu Cheng's cheek with her jade fingers, and said in a gentle voice, "Why are you so nervous? I am your wife, and they are your family."

"Moreover, Orange's performance was outstanding; everyone who saw it would praise her."

Especially her cousin's little niece, who doesn't even want her, her own aunt, anymore, clinging to Gu Cheng and asking for candy and hugs.

Hearing Su Wanxi say that, Gu Cheng happily leaned his head against his wife's chest and gave her a deep kiss.

"Although it was a bit tiring, I actually quite liked that atmosphere."

She grew up in an orphanage, where there were no extended family members. There were many children but few caregivers, so the care and love each person received was ultimately limited.

Gu Cheng envies other people's children who have so many loving elders, and therefore longs for family affection.

"They were all very nice, kind, gentle, and especially warm to me."

After the New Year, Gu Cheng felt she was going to gain another two pounds, her weight heading straight for 105 pounds.

"If you have time, you can go more often."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, Su Wanxi brushed aside her dark hair and whispered in Gu Cheng's ear, "Shall we continue tomorrow? Actually, we have many distant relatives at home..."

Then, she felt the delicate body in her arms suddenly tremble and slowly shrink towards the edge of the bed.

Seeing this, Su Wanxi laughed and said, "I was just joking with Chengzi. Let's get some rest tomorrow~"

She couldn't bear to see him overworked.

The New Year's greetings were temporarily put aside, and the topic quickly turned to the wedding they were most concerned about. Su Wanxi and Gu Cheng talked about the wedding dress designer that she had mentioned to Su Wanshan.

"Elena, a renowned British fashion designer, graduated from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and has very unique insights into wedding dress design."

“The wedding dress that Sister Yuling wore when she got married was designed by her. I’m going to contact Elena and ask her to help me order two more.”

Gu Cheng has also been cramming on wedding knowledge during this time, and now has a general idea of ​​the process for customizing a wedding dress.

Listening to advice, trying on wedding dresses, taking measurements, looking at hand-drawn wedding dress illustrations... there's quite a lot to do...

She asked Su Wanxi, "When are we going to meet?"

"It's scheduled for the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, but can be adjusted three days later."

Gu Cheng didn't know anything about the fashion industry, let alone Elena, but seeing how much Su Wanxi trusted her, she had no other opinions.

The second thing is the wedding rings. Gu Cheng's plan is to take Su Wanxi to the store first, and then customize a pair of wedding rings according to their own ideas.

"Su Wanwan, how did you customize this ring for me?"

Halfway through the conversation, Gu Cheng got up, opened the bedside table drawer, and took out a ring box from the innermost part.

Su Wanxi stared at the sparkling diamond ring set in the center of the box, her heart gradually softening.

She recalled that night when Gu Cheng, blushing, nestled in her arms, his body as soft as water, yet burning with passion.

"First, go to the store to look at the most basic ring styles. After you decide, provide the ring size that suits the wearer. For example, Orange's hand is suitable for a size 13 ring."

She gently cradled Gu Cheng's soft hand, like a devout believer holding a religious text. Her clear, cool eyes, like ink splashed across the sky, met her lover's gaze. Her eyelashes fluttered, unable to conceal the shimmering starlight beneath.

Gu Cheng was touched by the deep affection in Su Wanxi's eyes. She shyly tried to remove her hand, but her wrist was firmly held by the other party.

The next second, Su Wanxi lowered her head to help her put on the ring, her cherry lips gently landing on her wrist, and then moving upwards along her skin with delicate, fragmented kisses.

From the back of the hand to the joints, and then to every inch of the finger bones, alluring red and pure white complement each other, occasionally punctuated by strands of silky black.
