Yang Ming was clearly stunned upon hearing this. What was his wife talking about? What was she giving him?
A moment later, he seemed to understand—was his wife referring to consummating their marriage?
Excitement surged within him as he turned to look at his wife, her little head hidden under the covers, clearly shy. His wife was truly endearing.
Xiaoxiao, with her head tucked under the blanket, felt her cheeks burning, the heat extending down to her neck. She couldn’t believe she had said such a shameless thing—she couldn’t show her face now.
Yang Ming looked at his wife with a smile. He pulled the blanket down a little to reveal his wife’s head, then wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Wife, don’t worry, I’ll be well in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s face, already hot, felt like it was boiling. This husband of hers... really...
"Husband, let’s sleep, you need rest."
If they continued talking, she felt her heart couldn’t take it. This whole day had been like a roller coaster for her—so up and down. She was heartbroken when she saw her casual husband in the morning, then ecstatic and overjoyed to see him alive, and now she felt so sweetly shy she could die.
"Mm, wife, I love you!"
Yang Ming felt that, if the conversation continued, his own breathing would become unstable. His wife had been stimulating him all day, and his heart was beating furiously. Reluctantly, he agreed to get some rest and go to sleep.
Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laugh out loud when she heard her casual husband’s slightly incorrect pronunciation of "I love you." "Pfft!"
He was really great. Ever since that time, her casual husband had never forgotten to say that phrase to her before sleep, warming her heart. Should she tell him?
"..." Yang Ming was baffled at his wife’s laughter. Why did she always laugh every time he said that phrase to her?
"Husband, let me tell you a secret."
"Mm? You have a secret?" Yang Ming affectionately hugged his wife closer.
"’I LOVE YOU’ actually means ’I love you.’
Yang Ming had long known that ’I love you’ was definitely not a mere goodnight greeting; otherwise, his wife wouldn’t laugh every time. But he had never expected that ’I love you’ actually meant ’I love you.’
His wife had hinted at him long ago, hoping he would say that phrase to her. Why couldn’t he, who had liked his wife for so long, just say it outright? He was truly both foolish and clumsy.
"Could ’husband’ and ’wife’ have other meanings too?"
"Hehe, did you discover that?" Xiaoxiao laughed. Since that was the case, she might as well tell him everything. Knowing the truth would surely make him very happy.
"..." Indeed, there were other implications—perhaps it was like what he had originally thought. "Does it mean ’husband and wife’ as in the traditional sense?"
"Husband, you’re so clever. Yes, it means just ’husband’ and ’wife’ in the traditional sense."
How many more surprises was his wife going to give him? It turned out that, long ago, his wife had already acknowledged him as her husband.
Delight spread across his face, and without realizing it, he too laughed out. "Hehe!"
"..." It was the first time she had heard him laugh out loud. It seemed he was truly happy. "Husband, you shouldn’t always have just one expression. You should laugh when you’re happy, you know?"
The two of them laughed softly under the blanket, both feeling utterly sweet.
"Husband, let’s sleep. I LOVE YOU"
"Mm, sleep, I love you."
