652 We Made One (2/2)
”I'm just making an assumption here,” Darren pointed out.
Xiu scooted to his side saying, ”But as your obedient wife, I'd always believe what my husband says.”
Darren chuckled at her response and said, ”But I don't want an obedient wife.”
”Oh?”
Darren tapped her adorable nose saying, ”I already love my crazy wife.”
Xiu's lips twitched and she pursed her lips to hold back her smile. ”As always, my husband doesn't even need an occasion to tell me that he loves me.”
”I believe I should keep reminding you,” said Darren.
Xiu placed her hand on the side of his face and said, ”It's not I need these reminders.”
”You might not need these reminders but that doesn't mean I'll stop saying it.” His expression shifted slightly as he asked, ”On a serious note, what's up with that look in your eyes?”
”What look?” Xiu played dumb.
”Sweets...”
Xiu groaned at the way he called her and sighed, ”Is it that I'm too easy to read or what? How are you able to see right through me? It's not like I can hide anything from you anyway.”
Darren smiled helplessly at her and patted her head carefully. ”That's because we are one, both in body and soul.”
Xiu gave him a look as she asked, ”And how can you say we are one both in body and soul?”
”Because...” his hand wandered around her body before it stopped on her abdomen as he whispered, ”Because we made one. It's a part of us. Growing slowly inside of you.”
Xiu slapped his hand saying, ”What is exactly running through that head of yours all the time?”
”With such a beautiful wife, I think it'd be a shame if my thoughts didn't wander off.”
Xiu shook her head helplessly and hit his arm playfully. ”Dear husband, you should really change this habit of having wandering thoughts. You're gonna be a father soon enough.”
”Just because I'm gonna be a father, it doesn't mean I have to stop loving baby's mama. In fact, that means I should love her even more.”
Xiu touched her cheeks with the back of her hands saying, ”It's a good thing I'm wearing blush. Or else, people might see me boiling here like an egg.” While Darren chuckled at her remark, she hit him again for doing this. Knowing very well, what his words could do to her, she still loved playing around at such places.
