After a comfortable hot bath, Jin Nian was ready to lie down on the soft bed and sleep for the night when she suddenly remembered something. She dashed downstairs in her pajamas, rummaging through her bag to find the men’s wedding ring she had prepared in advance.
Since they were already married, it felt a bit awkward to give each other such implicit expressions of affection face-to-face. So, Jin Nian decided to wait until Lu An was asleep. She secretly took out the ring and gently slipped it onto Lu An’s ring finger.
Lu An had long and slender fingers with well-defined joints and a perfect hand shape. When she placed this shimmering silver ring on his finger, it seemed as if it had been custom-made for him, making Lu An’s hand appear even more handsome.
Lu An wasn’t someone who typically wore jewelry, though he frequently changed his wrist.w.a.tch to various new styles. He also wore a red string. Jin Nian didn’t bring any substantial benefits, but she kept her promises. She had mentioned changing his red string, and she had done it the next day.
She had even tied the red string herself and secured it with a slipknot.
Her actions in putting on the ring were gentle, but even so, it roused Lu An from his light slumber. In his groggy state, he didn’t immediately notice the slight foreign object on his finger. Plus, Jin Nian was holding onto his hand.
Lu An didn’t overthink it. He simply embraced her and softly asked by her ear, “Why aren’t you sleeping?”
Jin Nian felt a pang of guilt. She planted a tender kiss on the corner of Lu An’s lips and nestled back into his embrace. “It’s nothing. 1 just woke up from a dream.”
Lu An held her closely, his hand caressing her back gently. “What did you dream about? Was it a nightmare?”
Jin Nian couldn’t help but smile mischievously. “Yes, I dreamed that you didn’t want me anymore, that you wanted a divorce. We went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to process it, and I woke up right after it was done.”
Lu An immediately furrowed his brow. “What kind of chaotic dream is that? How could I ever divorce you?”
Jin Nian teased, “You never know. What if you meet your true soulmate someday?”
Lu An closed his eyes, chuckling softly. “Aren’t you my true soulmate?”
Jin Nian retorted, “I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it.”
Lu An’s voice was rea.s.suring as he declared, “I will never bring up divorce, not in this lifetime, no matter what.”
Jin Nian continued to lay in Lu An’s arms, and drowsiness gradually overtook her.
Lu An had always had a good sleeping posture. He never talked in his sleep, never snored, and his body temperature was slightly higher, making it especially comfortable to cuddle with him in the winter.
As the days grew colder, Jin Nian found that snuggling up to Lu An in bed felt like hugging a soft and warm heater. Occasionally, her hands would mischievously explore his well-defined abdominal muscles.
If her hands ventured a bit further, it would be like playing with a toy, experiencing the gradual changes in her grip. Normally, Lu An would thoroughly enjoy this. After all, she was free to play as she pleased, and this particular “toy” belonged exclusively to her.
Speaking of picking up these mischievous habits, Jin Nian couldn’t entirely blame herself. It was Lu An who had led her astray in this regard. Sometimes, when she didn’t intend to touch that area, Lu An would seize her hand and place it on his body. Then, with a brazen face, he would ask her straightforwardly, “How is it? Do you like it?”
This guy was getting increasingly shameless and flirtatious, which had been somewhat infuriating this year.
He was becoming quite bold!
The following morning, Jin Nian was still sound asleep when she was awoken by Lu An’s excited exclamations.
She sleepily opened her eyes and weakly complained, “Lu An, you’re making so much noise!”
Lu An had rushed from the bedroom to the bathroom, then dashed outside for a moment before bounding back into the bedroom like a caveman.
He raised his hand, showcasing the gleaming ring, and asked Jin Nian, “Did you put this on me?”
When he was washing up, he suddenly realized that there was a ring on his finger. In an instant, it was as if a bolt of lightning had flashed across his mind. Lu An suddenly felt a surge of emotions.
He suddenly remembered the abnormality last night. After he woke up, he felt a foreign object on his finger. He instantly had an answer in his heart.
Lu An was overjoyed, practically unable to contain himself. He seemed like he wanted to pick up the person on the bed and spin around downstairs a few times.
This item wasn’t particularly valuable, so Jin Nian couldn’t fathom why he was so delighted.
Those who didn’t know better would think that she had given him some expensive watch worth hundreds of millions.
Jin Nian maintained an exceptionally composed expression. “I’ve never seen this before. It must be a gift from one of the women you’re keeping outside..”
