Chapter 441: Warmth (2) (2/2)

He Changdi caught her wrist and pulled her into his embrace.

While his tone remained cold, there was a hint of warmth when he spoke, “I’ll give you a red packet every new year from here on out.”

Chu Lian was frozen stiff. She hesitated for a moment before turning her head to meet his gaze. Her heart was full of self-reproach and warmth at the same time.

Here she was afraid of exposing her true identity, yet he was trying to soothe her past wounds.

Actually, this lunatic husband of hers was a true tsundere- a person with a sharp tongue and a soft heart.

Even the rational Chu Lian had a sour feeling in her heart. She scolded the past ‘Chu Lian’ angrily in her mind: ‘You stupid idiot! Why did you abandon such a good husband? You were really dumb!’

However, she was glad that this good husband was now all hers.

Chu Lian blinked in an attempt to stop the warm tears in her eyes from spilling.

She sent a pout to He Changdi and couldn’t hold the back the urge to tease him when she saw how serious he was.

“How much are you going to give me then? I don’t want it if it’s too little.”

He Sanlang had a sincere expression on his face as he reached out to touch her soft and delicate face gently, “I’ll give you everything that I have.”

Chu Lian had only been trying to tease him; who could have expected words like that to come from He Sanlang’s mouth? Chu Lian gaped a little from her astonishment, “Are you stupid? If you give me everything that you have, then what about yourself? Most men usually think of ways to hide their money instead. What if I’m a spendthrift and I end up spending all of the money you give me?”

A rare burst of laughter spilled out from He Changdi. He tightened his hold around her and enjoyed the warmth of her soft body against his. “If you spend it all, then so be it! You’re my wife anyway. If you really spend it all, you’ll have to go out and beg for food with me.”

Chu Lian rolled her eyes. This naive He Sanlang was assuming that she wouldn’t leave him in that case, just because they were married on paper.

The two of them continued hugging for a while before He Changdi finally took out the long, exquisite wooden box that Laiyue had given him earlier.

“This is for you.” He Changdi looked down at her with love and devotion in his eyes.

Chu Lian was astounded, “So there was really a present for me?”

When he had ignored her in the outer room after she had demanded that he take his present out, Chu Lian had assumed that he was only using that as an excuse to visit her.
