Chapter 11: Why Did You Marry Me?

That night when they went to bed, Song Yuming still held her, gave her warmth, but he didn’t make a move on her. Actually, Xue Dongting had already prepared herself to take it. She lay quietly in his arms, looking at his face, somewhat disappointed, making it even harder to sleep.

After tossing and turning for a while, she heard the man’s voice low in her ear, “Stop fidgeting.”

Xue Dongting paused and looked up at him. Song Yuming was looking at her, his pitch-black eyes twinkling with an odd expression, his bushy black brows slightly knit.

Her heart was hammering. She mustered up her courage and asked, “Song Yuming, why did you marry me?” She felt it was a very serious question, so she called him Song Yuming directly.

He was caught off guard by the question. He thought about it for a moment. “I always wanted a woman by my side. I didn’t know it would be you.” His answer was very honest.

Xue Dongting frowned. “Didn’t know it would be me?”

Any ordinary village woman to accompany my remaining years would do, why would it have to be you?”

She didn’t quite understand. The man’s was breathing somewhat heavily.

Xue Dongting looked at him and said softly, “Are you thinking about…” Her voice was trembling.

Song Yuming turned over and got on top of her. “I want you,” he said brusquely. He kissed her on the lips, a kiss that was overbearing yet gentle.

When he finally released her she felt intoxicated, though she still held onto her last thread of reason. She held fast to his big hand that was trying to undo her waist sash and said, voice quavering, “Wait… Will… Will you treat me well forever?”

Song Yuming paused. “If I said I would right now, would you believe me?”
