Chapter 439: Chapter 436: Wife, I Love You (1)
Wen Xian flipped open the marriage certificate, intently examining every detail. In the photo, against a red background, both were wearing neat and tidy white shirts.
His hair was short and neat, his features elongated, with a high nose bridge, and his handsome, resolute face clearly defined.
He seldom wore white shirts, usually preferring black or darker colors, but now the white shirt on him, highlighted his handsomeness with an added touch of crispness.
Even though the corners of his lips were slightly raised, he still seemed like a noble flower, to be admired from a distance.
Yet, it was this man who, at the moment of the photo, casually wrapped his arm around her shoulders, a bit lower down, as if dominantly declaring his sovereignty.
In contrast, she in the photo was completely proper, displaying a sweet smile and a touch of shyness.
One was fiercely handsome, the other stunningly beautiful – together, they were a match made in heaven, a sight that Wen Xian could not get enough of, no matter how long she looked.
But somehow, as Wen Xian gazed on, her eyes gradually moistened.
Because all of it truly felt like a dream.
She, Wen Xian, actually had such good fortune to have met such a wonderful man as Lu Xiao.
When she slowly looked up at Lu Xiao again, his gaze just happened to return from another marriage certificate.
Their eyes met, and it seemed both could see a phrase in each other’s eyes – “settled dust.”
They finally had a root of their own.
Lu Xiao gazed at her, stood still in front of her, his deep eyes looking into hers, and extended a hand,
“Mrs. Lu, we can leave this place now.”
At those three words, Wen Xian’s heart trembled slightly.
She reached out to grasp his large hand, and Lu Xiao clasped it back, then with her gasp of surprise, he gently lifted her frail body in a bridal carry.
Lu Xiao kissed her delicate brows and eyes, then said softly, “The important matters are now settled, you need to go back to the hospital for some rest.”
That morning, he had gone to consult with the doctor, thoroughly inquiring if it was okay to go out for a bit.
The doctor’s advice was that without anything important, it was better to rest.
But Lu Xiao knew that the state of mind when sick or injured was very important; if she kept suppressing her painful emotions and cried alone, it would only invite more ailments even without actual sickness.
Thus, to prevent her from overthinking, he had to settle everything once and for all.
For him, too, some things had become clear, and he would be fine.
They had come all this way, facing numerous dangers and difficulties; as long as he ensured her safety, what else truly mattered?
He had promised he would protect her, and now, he added a term – till they grew old, till the very end of his life.
Perhaps even at that moment, he would still love her, turning into every particle of dust in the air around her, a brush of breeze, or maybe a strand of sunlight…
Wen Xian hugged his neck, leaning against his chest, and suddenly asked him,
“Darling, I thought of a question.”
“What question?” Lu Xiao asked as he carried her outside.
Wen Xian’s brows furrowed slightly, as if thinking deeply, and she slowly said,
“I seem to recall that on most marriage certificates, the woman is on the left and the man on the right, but in ours, I seem to be standing on your left.”
