Finding Stardust

Haoran"s mother flipped through an old alb.u.m. She showed various photos when Haoran was a baby until the last time they met, six years ago, when Haoran was 14 years old. Emma and Haoran were happy to see the old photos.

"Haoran looked really cute when he was little, right?" Haoran"s mother said, stroking her son"s hair.

Emma nodded. "You"re right. Haoran was very cute."

"Ahh ... when you have a baby, I"m sure he will be so cute too. I can"t wait to hold him in my arms.." Haoran"s mother said enthusiastically.

Involuntarily, Haoran and Emma coughed in unison. They both did not dare to look at each other because their faces flushed red.

Haoran"s mother just chuckled at the two teenagers" reactions. She just realized that Haoran and Emma must have never had s.e.x before. Hence, the conversation about having a baby made them very embarra.s.sed.

With great understanding, she s.h.i.+fted the topic and asked about their adventures in Switzerland. Still with a red face, Haoran told his mother stories about the places they visited in Switzerland.

"Ah ... I"m so happy to hear that. You really like Switzerland. Do you remember, we used to go there often?" asked Haoran"s mother.

The young man nodded. "I do. Our house in Geneva is still there. But I haven"t traveled with Father for a long time. Last week was the first time I went back to Switzerland after so many years. I only went because of Emma."

"Ah, you have to travel together often. Make lots of good memories." Haoran"s mother advised her child. Haoran only nodded with a smile.

Of course. He and Emma would make many memories together. Not only on Earth but even to the ends of the universe together.

They spent all day at his mother"s place to catch up and then stayed for dinner. Although Haoran"s mother wanted to spend more time with her child, she realized that they had to go back to the hotel to rest and prepare themselves because tomorrow they would get married.

With a heavy heart, she let them go after dinner. When she escorted Haoran out the gate, Haoran"s mother pulled her child gently and whispered something in his ear.

Haoran"s face suddenly turned red. He nodded and smiled at his mother. "Of course, Mother. Thank you for reminding me. Okay, I"ll take my leave. Tomorrow we will see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"Have a good rest," Haoran"s mother smiled sweetly. She waved to Emma, ​​who was standing by the car. The chauffeur opened the pa.s.senger door for Emma and Haoran, and they both immediately entered.

Haoran rolled down the window and waved to his mother. She waved back and smiled lovingly. After the car disappeared from view, she then wiped her wet eyes.

Ahh ... her son was now an adult. He had even fallen in love and was getting married soon.

How time flies.

Emma turned to Haoran and asked what his mother had whispered to him at the gate. The young man shook his head and tilted his chin toward their chauffeur.

Emma understood Haoran didn"t want his driver to hear their conversation.

"Does our driver speak English?" Emma asked, using telemancy. Haoran only shrugged.

"Who knows, right? I don"t want to risk discussing personal matters in front of other people."

"Then what did your mother say at the gate? I was curious because your face immediately turned red." Emma stared intently at Haoran. "Did your mother talk about lewd things?"

"Gosh, Emma ... you"re not sensitive, huh ..." grumbled Haoran. "My mother is NOT lewd. She gave a piece of excellent advice as a mature woman. She said we shouldn"t have s.e.x tonight since tomorrow we will get married. She didn"t want you sore tomorrow on the wedding day. Gosh ... did my mom think I never received s.e.x education in school? Of course, I know that. s.e.xual intercourse will be painful for women for the first time. That"s why I will not do anything to you tonight. I don"t want you to feel any pain on the night before our wedding."

Instantly, Emma regretted asking.

Her face became beet red. Subconsciously, she pressed her chest and coughed violently. Haoran grinned when he saw her looking embarra.s.sed. He patted Emma"s shoulder lovingly.

"We"ll do it tomorrow after the wedding, okay. I will try to be as gentle as possible so that you don"t feel too much pain ..."

Emma"s coughing got worse, and she was suddenly hiccuping too. Haoran became worried. He hurriedly took Emma"s bag from the seat beside him and pulled out her tumbler. He opened the lid and helped Emma drink it.

"Gosh ... I won"t talk anymore," the man said hurriedly. "I will also not think about anything perverted at all."

He knew that Emma was very embarra.s.sed at their conversation. He couldn"t blame her. She was young and as pure as snow.

After arriving at the suite, the two sat briefly in the living room and rested. Today was quite intense. The time difference with Switzerland began to affect them.

Their bodies were feeling tired from going out all day since morning. However, biologically, their bodies still felt like they were in the European time zone, which was six hours behind China.

That"s why they sat quietly on the big soft couch, doing nothing for half an hour. It felt great to lean back against the back of the sofa and rested their legs on the ottoman chairs.

At 8 pm, Haoran turned to Emma, who was sitting beside him, with her eyes closed. He touched the girl"s shoulder gently.

"Do you want to take a bath to relax and get ready to sleep?" he asked softly.

Emma nodded.

"Wait here, I"ll run you a bath," Haoran said, rising from the sofa.

Emma instantly opened her eyes and looked at Haoran in amazement.

"I"m not disabled. I can prepare my own bath," she said hurriedly. She took Haoran"s hand and prevented him from going to the bathroom to prepare a bath for Emma.

"I did this not because you were disabled, but because I wanted to show you how I would treat you with love for the rest of our lives," Haoran said. He smiled mischievously. "Besides, next time, I"ll do it for me too. We can take a bath together and save water."

"Haoran ...!" Emma was truly at a loss for words.

When did Haoran become such a pervert? she thought in puzzlement.

Finally, Emma could only watch Haoran"s back as he walked away. The young man entered the big bathroom in the master bedroom and turned on the hot and cold water in the bathtub and waited until the bath was ready, then called Emma.

"The bath is ready. You wash up first. I still have work to do, "he said as he ruffled her hair and then entered the study carrying his laptop.

Emma was in a daze. Haoran really acted like a doting husband already. Maybe this was his way of getting Emma used to the part?

Until two days ago, she didn"t even think about marriage at all.

This young man is one of a kind, Emma thought.

With a smile, Emma finally entered the bathroom and soaked in a bathtub that had been wonderfully prepared with mildly scented soap and bath salt.

Soon, she felt very relaxed.

Ah ... Haoran really spoiled her.

Emma felt so grateful.
