641 Blessing & Curse (2/2)

Xiu was in love with her dress and so was her husband who couldn't take his eyes off her figure. Although everything looked good on her because the aura around always shined, this very formal however was making the aura around her turn back to that cold ice beauty she had been in her corporate life. And that added another layer of charm to her beauty.

With a snap before his eyes, Darren was brought back to reality and he looked at Xiu who was raising her brows inquisitively. ”Husband, where are you lost today? Such a beautiful wife is right before your eyes and you're actually daydreaming? What a shame!”

Darren's arms went around her waist and his hand wantonly ran all over her bare back as he forced out a smile, ”Dear wifey, your husband is very fickle. Why are you enticing him so much?”

”When did I?” Xiu played the innocent card that she was best at. Although she bought this gown on purpose. There were two reasons for it. First, she wanted to see him struggling with his desires. Almost like you can watch it but you can't take a bite. Second, she knew she won't be able to proudly show-off her slender figure for long so she wanted to take advantage of this time as much as possible.

Darren wanted to dip his head to capture her lips but she placed a finger on his lips, ”Baobei, that's not allowed. My lipstick will be smeared. Too much trouble.”

”Argh!” groaned Darren as he placed his head on her shoulder and acted spoiled, ”Sweets, don't do this. How will I breathe without my dose of oxygen?”

”Apliments. Who didn't like compliments?

Xiu's eyes focused on his as his face came closer to hers again but this time, he shifted down and his lips captured the skin behind her ear. Xiu felt tingly at the touch of his soft lips sucking, nibbling, and making her go crazy!

With his lips against her skin, he spoke in a hoarse voice, ”Not just gorgeous, beautiful, pretty, enchanting, ethereal... In fact, I don't think only words can describe how beautiful you're looking.”

”Eeeh... That was corny,” stated Xiu. ”But I loved it anyway.”

Before he could break her resolve, Xiu pushed him back saying, ”We're gonna be late.”

”So? It's not our wedding,” said Darren as he continued to lick her earlobe.

Xiu held the back of his neck and added, ”No, it's not but... We can't be the last one to show up.”

”Why not?”

Xiu had no reply to that question. Indeed, it wasn't necessary for her to show up early. But she didn't want to be late. Besides... ”If you continued, we'd be going nowhere!”

Darren breathed out heavily in disappointment. Even he knew if he continued, they'd be going nowhere. Already the doctor had put a lot of restrictions on their interactions. Why did it seem like the world was going against him?! This isn't fair!

”Fine, let's go now.”

With reluctance, he just had to pull himself away from her. He put a coat over her shoulders and said, ”Don't catch a cold.”

Xiu smiled sweetly at him and kissed the side of his jaw, ”With my personal human heater, I can never catch a cold.”

Although Darren found her words amusing, he still rolled his eyes at her cheekiness. Having a wife like her was equally a blessing and a curse.
