As the words fell, she lowered her head and kissed him, a tender yet fervent kiss, her soft lips gently teasing his senses.
She had never been this forward, but when she took the initiative, it was surprisingly delightful!
Just as he was about to respond, the little woman suddenly bit down on his lower lip, showing no intention of letting go.
"Ouch...!" As the pressure increased, Lu Beichen spoke, "Are you trying to murder your husband?"
"Does it hurt?" she said softly, seeming a bit dazed, "Does it hurt? Then it seems I’m not dreaming!"
She suddenly dove into his embrace, pressing her whole body against him, and said a little excitedly, "It’s not a dream, Little Uncle, it’s really not a dream!"
"What’s going on today?" he asked, exceptionally happy!
Ji Niandong buried her head in his chest, rubbing gently, her voice trembling, "It’s just... I’m happier every day, it feels so unreal, so unbelievable!"
She, having lived twenty-four years, finally knew what true happiness was!
After experiencing it, it felt so incredible, so unreal!
"Happiness, indeed! From the moment I married you, I told myself that I would show you what true happiness is!" Lu Beichen lay on the bed, letting her cling to him, gently stroking her back.
"I know, I really know!" she nodded excitedly, "It’s because I know, that it feels like a dream, I’m afraid when I wake, it’ll all be gone!"
"Silly girl!" Lu Beichen chuckled, "Even if it really is a dream, I’ll make sure your beautiful dream never ends!"
"Really?" Ji Niandong sat up, looking at him with tears glistening in her eyes, "Little Uncle, will you always be this good to me?"
"Of course!" Lu Beichen nodded, his face full of sincerity, "I’m even afraid you’ll run away someday!"
"So as long as I don’t run, Little Uncle will stay by my side forever, and never leave me?" she gazed intently into his eyes, fearing even a flicker of hesitation.
"Of course not!" When Lu Beichen saw her expression turn into that of a wounded lamb, he quickly spoke, "Even if you run, I’ll follow you, always follow you!"
Ji Niandong burst into tears, almost laughing and crying, feeling utterly embarrassed, and buried her head in his chest, "I’m not a fool, Little Uncle is so good, why would I run? I’d stick with Little Uncle to death, just afraid he’d grow tired of me!"
"Silly!" Lu Beichen laughed, holding her in his arms, and let out a contented sigh.
Finally, the day had come!
"Little Uncle?" she suddenly called out.
"Yes?" Lu Beichen’s smile grew wider.
"I love you! That’s what I was trying to say all along!" she said, closing her eyes as if about to fall asleep.
Lu Beichen looked at her in disbelief, his arms holding her trembled slightly.
She suddenly opened her eyes, smiled at him, "Little Uncle, I love you, I love you, I love you..."
As if no amount of words could express her feelings, she kept repeating it.
Lu Beichen lowered his head and captured her lips, deeply absorbing all her "I love yous" into his heart.
After a long, tender moment, he reluctantly released her, holding her lower lip lightly, and softly exclaimed, "My Mrs. Lu!"
"I am here, Little Uncle!"
