Chapter 564: Morning Star of Love and Hope

Qin Ge had just returned to his room when a knock came.

He opened the door and saw that it was Guanghui standing there; he couldn't help but smile slightly, throwing the door wide open, "Come in."

Guanghui gave a graceful smile, and as she followed Qin Ge inside she said, "Good evening, Commander; it seems this matter has caused you quite a bit of trouble."

Qin Ge smiled and waved his hand, "Things were bound to reach this point sooner or later; after I pledge myself to you, they'll feel more at ease."

"Hehe, Commander, you see things quite clearly." Guanghui smiled, then noticed the bag on the table, "What is this?"

Qin Ge chuckled, "A wedding dress."

"Is it for me?" Guanghui said, somewhat surprised.

Qin Ge nodded, "If not for you, who else would it be for?"

"Ah? Having the Commander prepare the Oath Ring is already troublesome enough, and to have you personally prepare the wedding dress is truly embarrassing." Guanghui said apologetically, but the joy and excitement in her eyes could not be concealed.

Qin Ge chuckled, "This is something Mingshi gave me as a bonus when I went to buy the Oath Ring today. Although it's a free gift, it was made according to your measurements, so I'm sure it will fit you perfectly when you wear it."

"And it also has a very beautiful name: Morning Star of Love and Hope."

Guanghui suspiciously picked up the wedding dress on the table and then unfolded it to look.

The white wedding dress before her eyes was very beautiful, and Guanghui could clearly feel that this dress was a set of ship equipment; that is, even in battle she could wear this attire.

However, Guanghui had not reached the point of extravagance where she would wear the wedding dress Qin Ge personally gave her into battle; after all, ship gear would suffer wear and tear in combat, and she would feel sorry for it.

"Is that so? 'Sorrow's end, happiness' shore, longing eternal.' Is this the Morning Star of Love and Hope? It's really beautiful, lovely." Guanghui said, somewhat excited.

Qin Ge smiled satisfactorily, "Seeing you like it so much puts my mind at ease."

Guanghui raised her head to look at Qin Ge, smiling happily, "Then, Commander, would you like to see? If you want, I can change into it right now for you to look."

"Cough, may I?" Qin Ge coughed, saying somewhat hesitantly.

If he said he didn't want to look, that would certainly be a lie. Guanghui is already so beautiful; if she put on such a beautiful wedding dress, what a sight it would be? He very much cared about that.

"Of course you can, because you're the Commander." Guanghui smiled, "Besides, this wedding dress is ship equipment, unlike ordinary clothes that would be troublesome to wear."

"Well... I guess I'll forget it." Qin Ge hesitated for a while, then decided to give up.

"Why?" Guanghui looked puzzled, for she could sense that her Commander very much wanted to look, yet when the moment came he chose to refuse.

"Cough." Qin Ge coughed, speaking somewhat unnaturally, "I still want to keep your stunning appearance for the day of the ceremony; otherwise, if I see it now, that feeling will be gone."

"Hehe, is that so?" Guanghui smiled, feeling especially happy inside, "If the Commander thinks that way, then I will save my most beautiful side for the day of the ceremony."

"However, Commander, when are you preparing to hold the ceremony? Should I let the Maid Corps know in advance?"

Qin Ge shook his head, "Leave this to me; I'll just hold it in the next day or two, since Li Chenming and the others will be returning soon. Although letting them join would be nice, I feel we should handle this ourselves as a fleet."

"Hehe, that's true." Guanghui smiled, "Actually I don't care how many people come to watch the ceremony; I only care about the Commander. Even if it were just the two of us, such an oath ceremony would be unforgettable for me for life."

Qin Ge chuckled, "If it's just the two of us, wouldn't that be too casual? Anyway, I'll inform the Maid Corps later; we'll hold it in the small chapel beside our base, which is a pretty good spot."

"As long as the Commander likes it, that's fine; then I too must prepare, making sure not to embarrass myself when the time comes." Guanghui said sweetly, then moved close to Qin Ge, wrapped her arms around his waist, and gave him a light kiss.

"Mm, once the venue is ready, we'll begin." Qin Ge smiled.

"Okay~"

After they finished speaking, Guanghui left Qin Ge's room, returning happily with the wedding dress. The ceremony for the two of them was coming up soon, so she needed to go back and prepare well.

But not long after Qin Ge closed the door, someone knocked on it.

With some doubt, Qin Ge opened the door and saw that Belfast was standing outside.

"Belfast? Normally you just push the door open when you come in; why did you decide to knock today?" Qin Ge asked strangely.

"Because I was worried I might interfere with your good fortune, Master." Belfast smiled.

Qin Ge rolled his eyes involuntarily, "You clearly came after seeing Guanghui leave, and Saint Louis told me you'd always be watching my room; as my personal maid, how could you not pay attention here?"

"Ah, Master already knows?" Belfast said with a smile, showing no embarrassment at being discovered by Qin Ge.

While chatting and laughing, the two had already entered the room. Qin Ge looked at Belfast and said, "By the way, there's something I need to tell you."

Belfast smiled, "Is it about the oath ceremony? Rest assured, Master, our Maid Corps will definitely make this oath ceremony satisfy you."

Qin Ge exclaimed in surprise, "How is it that I haven't even said it yet and you already know?"

"Hehe, because I'm Belfast, your personal maid by your side, so I know all your thoughts." Belfast smiled.

Qin Ge stared for a moment, then sighed, stepped forward and embraced Belfast, "Sorry, I've let you down this time."

Belfast immediately realized what Qin Ge was referring to, and smiled, "It's fine, Master; being able to see you every day and occasionally admire your embarrassed look is already enough for me."

Qin Ge shook his head, "I remember all your kindness toward me. After this period, I've realized that avoidance is impossible, since we've always lived together; we might as well bravely face it."

"Rest assured, whether it's your Oath Ring, or the Oath Rings of Banrenma and Nengdai, I will personally place them on your hands."

"Hearing you say such things moves me deeply, Master; but the way you treat me makes me unable to resist wanting to do more for you, to gain more from you." Belfast whispered.

"It's fine; haven't we two always been like this?"
