Huangfu Lingyao remained silent, his face nestled in her black hair. His thin lips gently brushed against her forehead, thinking, ‘Initially, it was my petty schemes that calculated against you, but I won’t do that in the future.’
In truth, even though he had lied to her all along, the initial moments spent with her had already captivated him with her sincerity.
At that time, he hadn’t realized it, only feeling incredibly comfortable in her presence. But now, thinking back…
Had he fallen in love with her, a romantic affection between a man and a woman?
From wanting to possess her, he had transformed into desiring to exclusively have her, and then cherishing and loving her. Later on…
He wanted to hold her in the palm of his hand!
Of course, from now on, he was determined to make her fall completely in love with him—so deeply that she would never be able to leave him in this lifetime!
“Lingyao.” Liu Shimei, of course, didn’t notice his kiss on her hair. Being held in this position for a long time made her a little tired. She gently stroked his back and said, “Don’t dwell too much on the past. In the future, with me by your side, I will take good care of you. After we get married, we’ll be husband and wife. No matter what happens in the future, we’ll face it together, alright?” “Alright!” Huangfu Lingyao replied, biting his lower lip.
He thought, ‘My wife always treats me like a fool. Who’s the real fool here? Just because fate has tied her to me, she is so wholeheartedly good to me, it’s simply heartbreaking!’
His originally exquisite appearance, when he was silly and innocent, was pure and genuine. When he wasn’t acting silly, there was a charm in his every glance and smile, making him utterly captivating.
His palm slid down her back, coming to rest at her waist, gently lifting her onto his thigh. Yet, he did not let her see his face, resting his chin on the top of her head.
Just as Liu Shimei had been thinking that the position was not very comfortable, he shifted, finding a more comfortable but also more awkward position!
She was about to tilt her head to look at him when his large hand suddenly moved, covering her forehead and blocking most of her view.
“Lingyao?” She was a bit puzzled and a bit embarra.s.sed.
Sitting on his lap, nestled in his embrace, she truly felt that this was not a silly boy but her fiance!
Although he did not show any signs of embarra.s.sment, his body felt a bit warm, making her worry. “Are you feeling unwell?”
How long had she been isolated and bedridden? How long had he been sleeping on the small couch in the corridor? Although he was robust and hadn’t fallen ill, who knew if the virus had a longer incubation period?
Huangfu Lingyao held her like this without moving and said, “I’m fine!”
“But you’re really warm.” Liu Shimei moved in his embrace and said, “Lingyao, give me your wrist, I’ll check your pulse.”
Huangfu Lingyao hesitated for a moment, then turned the small body in his arms around so that her back faced him. He cheerfully extended his hand toward her and said, “Here, take a look!”
He was obedient, but she noticed something was off—he didn’t want her to see his face?
Was it intentional, or was it unintentional?
She wanted to turn back to look at him but was stopped by him. “Wife, look quickly, or I might change my mind later!”
Liu Shimei sighed helplessly, checked his pulse, and said as she felt his wrist, “Your heartbeat is a bit fast, but your pulse is normal. However…”
Suddenly, her body stiffened.. She let go of his wrist, turned her head sharply, her beautiful eyes wide open, and said, “Lingyao, I think I might have an idea about your illness!”
