Sara had never been in a suite as beautiful as the one she was currently looking at.
Since their wedding ran into the night and they needed to rest, a special suite was prepared for them to spend the night before flying out for a proper honeymoon.
"What do you think about this place Mrs Li" Muchen came behind her and wrapped his arms around her in a backhug with his chin propped on her shoulder.
"Do you like it?"
"This...is nice. I"ve never slept in a place like this before" She said in a very faint voice as her eyes still scanned the room.
The room was all white. There were no traces of any other colour except the red heart scented petals on the bed which formed a "heart" shape and also perfumed the room at the same time.
The room"s light was dimmed and there were red candles around that made the atmosphere sensual.
The bed was large; large enough to contain the entire w.a.n.g and Li families.
"It"s a good thing you"ve never slept in a place like this. Would have been a problem if you had"
He turned to look at her and gave her a loving pat of her head that as now free of the veil.
"I thought about giving you a rose for every time you made my heart fluttered. Unfortunately, the truck bringing it, broke down on the way cause the roses were too much."
Sara laughed a bit before sniffling back tears.
"You still looked shocked. Are you alright?"
He used his thumb to wipe off the residue of tears from the bottom of her eyes.
She bobbed her head up and down.
Sara thought this day was the happiest day of her life.
Not only did she get married to the man she loved, her parents also got married.
And she had received a whole lot of gifts. Gifts she hadn"t expected.
Li Sun had given her a doc.u.ment and let her know that she was transferring some of her shares to her. Which automatically made her a shareholder in Li Corporation. Now she wasn"t just a shareholder in only her Father"s restaurant but in Li Corporation as well!
Li Fazhan and his wife had both bought them a mansion. According to her father-in-law, they both had to start their new lives in a new home.
His wife had also bought her gold jewelries that were obviously very expensive.
She had not even expected Minde to give her anything. But he had bought her an Audi, telling her to please not threaten him again by saying she would crash his car.
Li Hoy was not left out either. He did what he knew how to do best. He told her he had already fixed her wardrobe with different brands of clothes, shoes, bags and whatever wears she could think of.
What even touched her most, he had said he knew she would not wear most of those formal clothes and so he didn"t buy her much evening dresses and heels. But instead, he bought her more casual trousers, tee-s.h.i.+rt polos and sneakers.
Changyu had also given her some doc.u.ments of a building in her name. It was more like a fitness school with a well equipped gymnasium with offices and large cla.s.srooms.
Jianjun had also given her gifts which made her laugh.
There were books.
One was t.i.tled: "How to be a good wife"
Others were cook books and one particular one had most of his secret recipes.
He had also credited her bank account with a huge sum of money that shocked her, telling her that he and Cixi had been saving it from when she was still little because they did not want her to be a broke and lazy wife.
She had also received gifts from more of Muchen"s relatives and some guests.
She felt like she was suddenly a very rich woman in the twinkle of an eye.
"You haven"t told me yet. What do you want? I cannot let my family outs.h.i.+ne me." Muchen said to her.
He would have allowed her go bathe and freshen up first, but still seeing her in her wedding gown reminded him that she was truly his wife. It still felt very surreal.
"I don"t want anything else" She shook her head before hugging him.
"Do I really deserve all of these?" She asked in a low and emotional voice.
"If you do not, then who does?" He asked back.
"It all just...it feels surreal. I feel like I"m the luckiest woman alive"
Muchen chuckled. "You haven"t even seen anything. Wait till I spoil you."
"So tell me. What is the first gift you want from your husband?" He asked again.
Sara raised her head to look at his smiling face and she suddenly remembered something.
"Anything?" She asked to be sure.
"Anything" He nodded.
"Hmm.. The things is... There is this illegal project going on in Joreen"s school. It"s being handled by the princ.i.p.al and—"
"Oh G.o.d! It"s about Joreen again!" He blurted out.
It suddenly made him remember the time he spent at the hospital, when he had asked her to make any wish. She had asked him then to meet with Joreen because Joreen liked him.
"Why are you sounding jealous?" She pouted.
"I think you like her more than you like me" He pouted back.
"That"s only natural since I practically raised her like my own daughter alongside Aunt and Dad. I watched her from when she was a day old"
She remembered how her tattered self had seen the newborn Joreen. She had been so fascinated by her s.h.i.+ny eyes and brown skin that she stared for a while without taking her eyes off her. If not for Joreen, she was not sure she would have been able to survive.
"What? You...really like her more than me?" His eyes shone when he asked.
Sara began to laugh.
"I love her like my daughter. But I love you. And you"re my husband. When we have our child, I"ll love the child also"
A naughty smile spread across his face when he heard that.
"Let"s make a baby then"
He looked intently at her face and saw her gulp.
Slowly, he dropped his lips to meet hers.
There was something different about this kiss.
Now, he knew he could go further. And no longer feared about her father finding out.
Sara sucked in breath when his lips touched hers. This was very different from the kiss after their wedding vow.
This was an entirely different kind of kiss. A kiss that would lead to something not so innocent.
He suddenly broke free but still allowed his lips hover above hers.
"Just so you know, I already handled that issue with the princ.i.p.al. He is currently in the police custody, and so is that Mo b.a.s.t.a.r.d that annoyed you."
"Mo Jinyong? You got him arrested?" She asked in a whisper.
Now she understood what it meant when people talked about "Bedroom voice", because even right now, she could not talk audibly. She was feeling too hot for that.
"Let"s not talk about him. Else I may have an erectile dysfunction"
Sara giggled lightly at his joke and nodded.
"To h.e.l.l with him then" She said before wrapping her hands around his neck.
His lips curved upwards and immediately, he carried her like a princess to the large bed and lowered her gently till her back touched the soft bed.
But he did not let go because he continued to kiss her gently and she willingly obliged to the kiss even as a light m.o.a.n escape her lips as he slipped his searching tongue inside her hot mouth
Memories from the past when she was almost r.a.p.ed by the creepy man threatened to spring forth, but Sara reminded herself that it was her wedding night and she shouldn"t be thinking about anything else except what was going on right now.
"I"ll rip that little devil apart!" She suddenly heard Muchen"s cold voice and noticed he had stopped moving his hands that had been trying to pull off her gown.
"What is wrong?" She managed to ask while gasping for breath.
"Li Hoy. He did this on purpose. I can"t find any zip." He complained with sad eyes.
Sara suddenly remembered that the dress did not have a zip. It had tiny b.u.t.tons instead. A whole lot of b.u.t.tons. And it had taken quite a bit of time when they were helping her dress up.
She also remembered how Hoy had told her to pick this particular gown out of the three others he had selected.
As he stared at her in frustration, she stared back in confusion.
In another part of the city...
As Hoy watched the news, he began to laugh. Not because there was anything funny there, but because of what he had done to punish his cousin.
He would never forget that night Muchen came to drag Sara from his studio and had made it known to Sara that he was twenty years old because of his jealousy!
"Have fun unb.u.t.toning CEO Li" He laughed once again before grabbing his small pillow.
