Chapter 320 - I love you, husband (1/2)

The day after the meeting with Luo Yin, Kai Xin was sleeping when she heard someone unlocking the door.

Sitting up, it took her a moment before her eyes adjusted to the lack of lighting in the room. Relying on the brightness of the moon, she squinted her eyes at the figure that was walking into the bedroom.

"DX?"

She called out, unsure whether she was seeing wrong.

He switched on the light and adjusted it to dim so that it would not hurt her eyes. After that, he placed his bags aside before climbing onto the bed with her.

"My little minx…" said DX as he cupped her face. Before she could say anything else, he kissed her in the lips. One of his hand was placed on her belly as if he was greeting the baby inside.

"You are back early! I thought you'd only be back at the end of the week!"

"Well, I heard that my woman got into a fight. Obviously, I have to come back immediately…"

She winced, "I'm sorry…"

He flicked her forehead and scolded her softly, "If you are sorry, you shouldn't have done that. Wait for the guards or Han Ye to arrive. There would always be someone nearby."

"I-I didn't think thoroughly…When I saw him there, I just want to fight back. I want to prove to him and to myself that I'm no longer the weakling from 12 years ago."

He took her wrist where the bruise was still visible and a trace of anger appeared in his eyes as he gritted, "I'll make him pay…"

Kai Xin patted the back of his hand and when he looked up at her, she said softly, "I didn't cry…"

"What?"

"I thought that when you are not here, I'd be unable to face them myself...I was a little scared but I didn't run or cry."

As he massaged her bruised wrist, he said, "Kara...It's not me that give you the bravery. You've always been brave but you were too scarred to realize it. All I did was to give you a shoulder to lean on when you needed to rest."
