Chapter 62 - Your Kisses Have A Healing Effect (2/2)

She couldn’t refuse him, so she said, “You first. A sip for me will do.”

Still, he insisted that she drink first. She had just lifted the cup to her mouth when he cupped her by the neck and kissed her. Her eyes widened as the flavor of the milk passed between their lips.

He released her with a smile. “Delicious.”

Tang Qiu swiped the back of her hand across her mouth, an angry flush rising to her face. “You shameless–”

“You’re my wife. I’m just having fun with you. Next time, I’ll feed you.” He eyed the milk staining the corner of her mouth like a predator to its prey. He took a swallow of milk, then seized her hand and forced his lips on hers.

Tang Qiu was unable to resist. When the glass of milk was empty, Jiang Shaocheng ran his tongue over his lips with a hungry look. She stared at him. Something wasn’t right–her husband seemed to have grown stronger. And…

“Dear, I noticed you don’t cough when you’re around me.”

When Jiang Shaocheng was around others, he would periodically punctuate his sentences with coughs; however, this aspect of his performance had entirely slipped his mind with her. A gleam entered his eyes as they settled on her rosy mouth.

“Your kisses must be helping to cure me, then.”

“My kisses?” Tang Qiu had yet to graduate, but she was a medical student—and no fool.

“Kisses have a healing effect. Go check it out if you don’t believe me.”

His words lingered in Tang Qiu’s mind–along with her doubts–till the next day in the library. Ning Mufan was there too. She turned to leave, but he ran up to her and engulfed her in an embrace. “I know you loved me deep down, Qiu,” he said. “I love you, too…”

She was taken back to that morning, when she had bumped into Qian Hongwei outside Professor Sun’s office.

Qian Hongwei was easygoing by nature, and getting along with him was almost effortless. It caught her off-guard when he said, “I hear you’re a married woman.”
