Second World (Side Couple): Yue Wuya x Hei Yu
After seeing off the two highnesses, Hei Yu stayed at the airport. He also issued some orders to the Royal knights who came over to protect Wan Lengya and their Prince Wu Xue. They didn't go after their highness right away as they were told not to do so. His Highness Prince Wan told them they could only escort him to the airport to pick his wife after that they would leave with just the two of them.
Hei Yu knew this would happen as Wan Lengya had always been possessive towards Prince Wu Xue. For a special occasion like Christmas Eve, he would definitely like it if the couple had some privacy. Anyway, they were already informed which restaurant they would go to and the rest of their schedules for tonight. There is no problem with sending some knights to protect them from distance.
"Go. I've sent the location to your phones. Don't get caught by His Highness Prince Wan. Protect them from a distance and don't bother their date." said Hei Yu.
The knights saluted him before they left and followed his commands. He is their direct superior and held an authority just after the princes. But Lord Hei Yu himself is on break today. Except for this last order, they would not be receiving any further commands for the next three days. They take their leave once they receive their orders.
Hei Yu, who was left behind, was picked up by his husband who was waiting on the side of the road. Unlike the three of them, Yue Wuya is just a Young Lord from their country, in this kingdom which is under the reign of the Regal Hei, he is nothing but a mere commoner even after marrying Hei Yu who works directly to the royalties of this country.
Yue Wuya's car stops in front of the airport. He got out of his car carrying a thick jacket and made Hei Yu wear it.
"Honey, you shouldn't forget to bring a jacket with you. In Paris, at this time of year it is so cold that a mere sweater wouldn't be enough," said Yue Wuya with a worried tone as he bundled his wife up. He even placed his scarf on his neck and removed his own gloves putting it on Hei Yu's hands.
Hei Yu just watched him silently without speaking a word.
Yue Wuya noticed him staring at his face and smiled like a silly man, "What is wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"Pfft! Nothing. What do you want to eat tonight? There is no need to go anywhere for Christmas Eve. Let's just go home and cook some hotpot for us husband and wife." said Hei Yu.
Yue Wuya, who was used to being served, didn't even expect his wife to choose to spend Christmas Eve at home. All his preparations for a date were wasted as his wife wishes to go home. But there is a problem, he could only scratch his cheeks in guilt.
"H-Honey, there is no food at home. Our fridge is empty. Haha…" said Yue Wuya.
Hei Yu said, "You didn't replenish any food at home?"
"N-No…"
"What did you eat for these past three days?"
"T-Take outs, hehehe~"
SIGH~
Seeing the silly reaction of his husband, Hei Yu could only let out a sigh. Right he shouldn't expect anything from this moron whose mind only has music in his head. Hei Yu could only give up and went inside the car, Yue Wuya thought he was angry and was about to apologize inside the car but a single glare from his wife made him stutter.
"I… I…"
"Drive. Go to the biggest supermarket. Let's buy the ingredients and go home to cook. You push the cart!"
"Yes, Honey~"
Then the two drove to the nearest supermarket to buy the food. They were like an old married couple bickering about what to buy and what shouldn't. In the supermarket, one is pointing around and one is moving all over the place getting anything that his wife had pointed for him to take.
The other couples were laughing at this cute scene as this couple looks so young and their interaction is funny especially with Yue Wuya acting like a coquettish dog in front of Hei Yu.
After eating dinner for hotpot, the couple cuddled in their bedroom watching the movie waiting for Christmas to arrive. The way they've spent Christmas Eve together might be simple but it is cute. Once the clock strikes 12, the couple greets each a Merry Christmas spending the night with Joy and warmth shared only by the two of them.

Third World: Mo Yijun x Meng Anya and Ye Baiyu x Lin Xia
At the Meng Mansion.
The luxurious house owned by the Meng Clan was always beautiful as always. In the month of December, Meng Anya's father and Uncle as well as the former Prime Minister who is now an in-law to the Meng were having tea in the middle of the Rose Garden just outside the Mansion of the Mengs.
The red roses were in full bloom as the scent of floral lingers in the area. But in the small pavilion inside the garden, three middle-aged men had gathered enjoying their tea like young ladies in aristocratic families in the old times. But these three don't seem to enjoy the scenery but come over here to visit the white tombstone where the mother of Meng Anya rests.
The father of Meng Anya sat beside the tombstone and was talking nonstop on his own as if he was talking to someone. In the pavilion not far from the grave, Uncle Meng and Former Prime Minister Mo were looking at him with an understanding gaze. If not for the fear that Father Meng might get angry the two of them would also sit near the tomb and accompany him there. The tomb is where Mother Meng sleeps forever.
This is the woman the three of them love the most and care the most in this world. Sadly, she had left ahead of all three of them due to an illness.
Father Meng had been talking to the tomb for hours and in the end, started complaining to his wife.
"Wife, you know that Anya and her husband left the company to this old man again. They said they would go to do some extreme sports to celebrate Christmas Eve. Isn't that dangerous? Those brats are truly naughty. Even Lan'er was pulled by them to play around. Sigh~ if those brats don't return by tomorrow they would get it with this old man!"
The former minister came over with careful movements and said to Father Meng, "Can I… also talk to her, please?"
Father Meng stared at him in silence. He didn't reply immediately and talked to his wife, "Dear, I'll continue my story tomorrow with the children. Happy Christmas Eve my heart." he kissed the tomb before walking away. Before he moved to pass the former minister he said, "You have 10 minutes." Then he walks away to join his brother-in-law in the pavilion.
Former Minister Mo whispered back to Father Meng, "Thank you!" then he approached the tomb and kneeled in front of him.
Father Meng and Uncle Meng didn't hear what he said to Mother Meng but his current kneeling position says it all.
Uncle Meng asked, "Is this alright with you, Huang?"
"He is an in-law with us already. Though I can't forgive him for what he did before if he is going to apologize to my wife then… It's okay." said Father Meng.
Uncle Meng said, "It's been years already. It should be fine now."
"Yes, it's been years already. But I still miss her so much, especially during this time…"
"Haha, indeed. She loves this kind of event the most. I could still remember that stew she made before. My stomach rebels whenever I smell stew even now." said Uncle Meng while rubbing his tummy.
"Big brother you can't say that about my wife. Her cooking is still the best no matter how it tastes ~."
"Said the person who was hospitalized on the day of Christmas. You made us spend Christmas in the hospital!" scolded Uncle Meng.
Father Meng averted his eyes, avoiding his brother-in-law's gaze.
"Sigh~ I wonder where those brats went this time…"
"I heard they went somewhere fun, An'er says so…" said Uncle Meng.
Meanwhile somewhere above ground. Ye Baiyu is grabbing the door and his feet split to hang by the door of the aircraft. On his back, Lin Xia is pushing to jump.
Ye Baiyu with a pale face shakes his head and said, "N-No. No! Why am I the one who is going to jump first!? Ahh! It's so high!" he felt his legs turn to jelly at the sight of the clouds under his feet.
"Just jump! Are you a coward!? Why did you join us skydiving if you're afraid of heights! Are you stupid!?" scolded Lin Xia.
Ye Baiyu said, "Wuwuwu~ I'm not afraid of heights. It's just too high~ Fuck!"
The staff was trying to calm Ye Baiyu down as he was blocking the doors, preventing the others from jumping.
"Sir, if you are afraid please move backward and don't block the door please."
"I… I want to do that too but my fingers are stuck," said Ye Baiyu.
Behind him, Meng Anya is already about to explode with anger. He wanted to jump but Ye Baiyu was blocking the door. His mood affected the others as he looks very pissed right now.
His husband could only sigh and asked Lin Xia beside him, "Is his equipment already?"
"Yes, he just needs to jump," answered Lin Xia.
"Then I will leave him to you," said Mo Yijun and only made his move when he saw Lin Xia nod his head.
The staff who were pacifying Ye Baiyu had backed away when they saw Mo Yijun walking towards them.
Ye Baiyu was startled to see all the staff leave, "Eh? Where are you guys going?" his face paled further when he saw his boss's dark expression, "B-Boss…?"
Mo Yijun said, "Your fingers are stuck right? I will help you out." Then he kicked him on his back and Ye Baiyu flew in quite a distance.
"AAAAAHHHH! SAVE ME! WIFE… I'm FALLING!" screamed Ye Baiyu. His yells can be heard getting farther as he falls from the sky.
Lin Xia said, "Sigh~ this slave is so high maintenance."
Everyone was shocked and wasn't able to react when Lin Xia jumped after his lover. They were so shocked that they stood stiffly from where they were. Then they watch that ruthless man smile and walk back towards a beautiful man smiling at him.
"Baby, no one is blocking the door. Shall we go?" asked Mo Yijun as he reached out his hand like a gentleman asking someone for a dance.
Meng Anya held his hand and said, "This should be fun~"
Everyone watched as the couple jumped one after the other. They were both fearless as they played in the air as if dancing in the sky. It was a beautiful scene not for the other messy couple who is struggling in the air.
Ye Baiyu screaming, "Fuck. This shit ah! It's too high! Wife saved me!"
Bonk*, "Stop screaming, my ears are ringing!" scolded Lin Xia.
One is panicking like a kite with a cut string screaming his lungs out and the other trying to calm the other but ended up getting angry and hitting his partner's head in the air. Then before they reach the altitude to open their parachutes, a staff comes over to the two couples recording their skydiving experience. They held hands and shouted in the sky all at once.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!"
