Chu Lian’s lips curled with a smile as he took out a very exquisite box from his pocket, opened it, and inside lay a crystal-clear jade bracelet. He took out the bracelet, gently grasped Wang Xiangxiang’s scarred left hand, and carefully slid the bracelet onto her wrist, "Okay, you can open your eyes now."
Feeling the coolness on her wrist, Wang Xiangxiang had already guessed what it was. She opened her eyes, lifted her hand, and saw a crystal-clear bracelet on her wrist. She shook it slightly; the size was just right. She smiled.
Suddenly, she remembered the time Han Yongsheng had given her a bracelet. If it wasn’t suitable, it just wasn’t, even if forced. It was like that ring, Wen Nuan could simply wear it, but she couldn’t.
"Do you like it?" Chu Lian asked.
"Yes, I like it," Wang Xiangxiang nodded, smiling and teasing, "My lord, how did you think of buying a bracelet? Wouldn’t it be very embarrassing if the size wasn’t right?"
"Would I not know my own wife’s size? If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be a very qualified husband," Chu Lian said as he pulled Wang Xiangxiang into his embrace, confidently.
Actually, he had wanted to give her the bracelet for a long time. Ever since she had attempted suicide, he had been thinking about it, but the right size had always been elusive until today, when he finally found a suitable and excellent piece of jade. He bought it immediately and couldn’t wait to put it on her.
"Besides, is there any part of you that I don’t know?" Chu Lian said, teasingly.
Wang Xiangxiang, who was still smiling, blushed instantly on hearing this. She turned away, extremely embarrassed as she recalled how, these past days, although they had not gone all the way, Chu Lian had thoroughly examined and kissed her body every night.
Even though they already had children, she was still very shy.
Seeing Wang Xiangxiang so bashful, Chu Lian turned her around to face him directly and lifted her scarred left hand, kissing the scar tenderly, his eyes full of compassion. If he had been clearer in his words, she wouldn’t have suffered so much.
"Does it still hurt?" he asked tenderly.
The corners of Wang Xiangxiang’s mouth lifted, "No, it doesn’t hurt anymore. It’s been several months; it healed a long time ago."
Chu Lian then placed Wang Xiangxiang’s hand on his chest and continued, "Promise me you’ll never do anything so foolish again. It would break my heart, you know?"
"Yes, I know," Wang Xiangxiang nodded.
"Now that I’ve given you a present, shouldn’t you give something in return?" Chu Lian said, pointing to his own lips with his finger, hinting that Wang Xiangxiang should kiss him.
"..." Wang Xiangxiang was speechless, looking at Chu Lian but refusing to kiss him. He was always finding excuses to ask for kisses.
"No gesture in return?" Chu Lian put on an innocent and pitiful face.
Helpless, Wang Xiangxiang tiptoed and planted a light kiss on his lips, then quickly moved away, saying, "There."
Looking at Wang Xiangxiang’s shy demeanor, Chu Lian was full of amusement. How could that be enough?
He pulled Wang Xiangxiang close, pressed her against him, and bent his head down to kiss her deeply. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel※fire.net
"Mmm~!" Wang Xiangxiang couldn’t help but make a sound as she was kissed.
She knew it would end this way, but still, she closed her eyes, extended her tongue, and responded to his kiss. She couldn’t help it because she loved him.
And so, the two of them continued to kiss tenderly inside the room.
