Chapter 11: Just Kiss
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He just kissed her whenever he felt like it. And how could he say nothing and acted as if nothing had happened after he had done it?
On the way back home, Lu Man wanted to pull her hands away out of anger, but he held her hand tightly so she could only let him hold it.
The design of the house was European, modest but luxurious. The large floor-to-ceiling windows and the open-air balcony were Lu Man’s favorite. She walked to the balcony out of instinct.
Standing on the balcony and looking into the distance, she could enjoy the beautiful scenery of the main river of Haicheng.
“The view here is really good.” Lu Man closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Standing at this height, the air was much fresher.
“I’m glad you like our home.” Obviously it was still the same balcony, the same scenery, but they became more captivating when she was standing there.
Our home…
His words always naturally tied the two of them together as one.
Their home, they were one.
Although Lu Man could not fully accept the idea yet, she did not reject it.
They were now husband and wife. He was very serious about this marriage, and she should take it seriously and accept it too.
Pei Xiuyuan took her on a tour around the house to get her familiarized.
The house had three bedrooms and two living rooms, one master bedroom, one guest room, and one study.
The house was sparkling clean and everything was brand new, without a touch of life, as if no one had lived here before.
“You didn’t live here before?”
“I used to live ar the old house.”
“Oh.” Upon saying that, Lu Man suddenly realized that the old house must refer to his house, the one where he and his family had been living in.
Now she was getting a little worried. When she thought of marrying him, she had never thought about their married life, nor did she think about how she was going to get along with his family. The standards of the rich people were always high, and nobody would know what they would think of her…
“Have… Have you told your family that you have gotten married?” If someone like him get married in such haste, would his family disagree with it?
“Not yet.”
“Will they agree with our marriage?” This was going to be troublesome!
“As long as we agree to our marriage, it doesn’t matter.” In fact, it was him marrying a wife, not his family marrying a wife.
“You shouldn’t say that. A marriage needs blessings from the family…”
He put his hand on her shoulder and looked at her with his dark, keen eyes. His gaze was focused and serious. “My dear wife, I am very happy that you are thinking of getting along with my family, but you don’t have to think about it now. Don’t you worry; I’ll take care of everything. You just have to think about me.”
Lu Man looked at him. The anxiety and turmoil she had just now disappeared into thin air. His arms were reassuring, just like a mountain that could hold up the sky for her. She could rely on him, with nothing to be afraid of, nothing to worry about.
This man, he was simply too charming!
If she did not guard her heart well, she would definitely be defeated soon and surrender to him!
“Let’s tidy up, and then we can go out for dinner. Today is the first day we start living together. It should be celebrated.” Pei Xiuyuan let go of her to help her organize the clothes.
When Lu Man thought of the contents of the luggage, she hurried forward to the luggage, as fast as lightning. “I can handle this myself, you can go out and get busy with your own stuff!”
“But I’m not bust at all.”
“Then you can go out and watch TV.”
“You are more interesting than the TV.” he blurted out.
Lu Man’s face was flushed, this man…
He might look superior and cool, but when he said such cheesy words, it was so natural, as if he was just breathing.
Pei Xiuyuan found that his wife blushed very easily. She had very fair skin. So every time when she blushed, she looked so pink, so tender. This stirred up a very strong desire in him to hold her in his arms!
He was worried that it might scare her if he did so, so he could only hold back his desire.
“You go on cleaning up, and I’ll go and watch TV.”
Lu Man did not know why he had suddenly changed his mind and left, either way, she was greatly relieved.
When she opened the wardrobe, all she could see was neatly placed male’s garments. She reckoned that her clothes would ruin the aesthetic of the view. But when she hung all the clothes, she found the view simply looked harmonious, not a single bit of incongruence.
Finally, the last bit of clothing was her undergarments and the nightdresses recently bought. She took them out, folded them nicely and put them into a box and was ready to put them into the bottom cabinet.
“Are you done yet?” For someone who did not really like watching the TV much, Pei Xiuyuan could not sit still after a while.
His unexpected voice startled Lu Man. She dropped the box and everything inside fell and scattered everywhere.
Pei Xiuyuan looked around…
Lu Man felt that the air was inexplicably getting warmer and warmer. When she looked in the direction where he was looking, she immediately knew why. She quickly stuffed everything back into the box.
“You… I…” she was too embarrassed to say anything.
“I like the red one, which one do you like”
“Huh?” Lu Man froze. What was he talking about… the red one?
“The black one is nice, too.” She was already pretty fair, and black would definitely flatter her pale skin.
“These… I didn’t buy these, I…” she did not know how to explain this.
“I like them very much.”
Lu Man said, “I don’t mean that…”
“It’s nice of you to put your mind into it.”
“…”
Lu Man found herself on a different channel from his. They were not on the same channel at all.
When she was still speechless, Pei Xiuyuan was already standing in front of her. He reached out and pulled out the nightdresses she was busy stuffing into the box.
“Don’t you want to thank me? With this, I can definitely feel your most sincere gratitude.”
She reached her hands out for the clothes and pulled them back. “You pervert!”
Pei Xiuyuan was not at all upset for being scolded. “A man is not a man when he does not do dirty things to his wife.”
“…”
It was really mind-blowing for Lu Man. “You have again changed my perception of you!”
“What was your perception of me before?” Pei Xiuyuan cocked his eyebrows. Had she paid attention to him and wanted to get to know him better before?
“In my opinion, you should be like an almighty god high up in the sky, arrogant and indifferent. You ought to be somewhat flawless and despise all sentient beings.” Even if he was not that exceptional, he would still be someone cool and calm, or whatever but this… always so flirty. Although his behavior was not like a pervert’s, that is, not really considered indecent, he should not always be like…
All of a sudden, Pei Xiuyuan took hold of her hand and put it on his chest.
