102 NEW JOB, NEW ENVIRONMENT PART 9 (1/2)

Ge Chen was astonished upon hearing her words. His heart softened after realizing how understanding she was. 'But she is only saying so because I'm her husband, not because she loves me.' Although he thought that, he could feel her earnest feeling. She genuinely wanted to support him and wanted to share the burden with him. Any man would be over the moon if he got a kind wife like her.

The more he got to know her, the more he wished to understand her. The more they spent time together, the more he realized that she was a gem. He cannot understand why her parents are so harsh on a girl like her. She is clearly the type who will give away everything she owns to those who are good to her; that's how much of a benevolent girl she is. She is also considerate and can understand others' feelings. She is logical and doesn't look for problems on her own.

'If she continues to act like that, I'll fall hard for her.' Ge Chen helplessly thought. He can notice that his possessiveness of her is growing day by day. He doesn't like it if her former classmate gives her a dress. He doesn't want her to wear it. He would do the pettiest thing to prevent her from wearing or using something that was given by someone else other than him.

He likes to make her beautiful but he doesn't want to show her to others. Especially when she smiles, she can attract unnecessary pests to her. He is already trying hard to control his unhealthy thoughts. However, he doesn't know how long he can hold himself back. Even he was surprised when he noticed how narrow-minded he became when he felt reluctant to let her go to the reunion party dressing up so beautifully.

He could care less about what other people thought about him. However, he didn't want to show this ugly side of him to Xue Lin. 'What if she runs away after seeing my possessive side? She flinches whenever I go a bit closer to her or touch her. She will be scared if I tell her what I've been thinking.' That was the last thing he wanted to happen especially when she was gradually lowering her guard around him.

He sighed softly and looked up to see her face. ”I will do as you said.”

Xue Lin looked down to meet his gaze and instantly her face turned red. From her view it looked like he was looking at her through her breasts. She suddenly felt her face flush. She averted her gaze and mumbled, ”Umm… hmm… okay…”

Ge Chen's gaze deepened. 'My wife, if you act so cutely, it'll be hard for me to hold back.' He didn't want to make her uncomfortable anymore. He gained enough energy by taking advantage of her. He felt refreshed. He asked, ”What time is it?”

Xue Lin tried to act normal and replied, ”Umm… it's seven thirty.”

”I better get ready then.” Ge Chen let go off her and stood up carefully. As he walked past her, he stroked her head and gently said, ”I'll tell you everything when the time is comfortable for me. And thank you, my wife.” Without even waiting for her reply, he left the room.

After he closed the door, Xue Lin sat on his armchair and rubbed her checks. ”Why am I feeling so hot?” She noticed that her heart beat was also rising and her knees felt weak.

Soon after they finished their breakfast, they drove off to the school. Xue Lin dropped Ge Chen to the underground parking lot of the supermarket near the school so that no can notice them coming together. Ge Chen would walk from there. For the sake of keeping privacy, Xue Lin asked Principal Heathcliff to keep her marriage a secret. So, others didn't know that Ge Chen and she was married. They hoped it would help avoid any unwanted gossip.
