149 Those Simple Words (2/2)

Her voice was almost too quiet, less sure. She looked back up at him, and there was a flush on her cheeks that made her look vulnerable. Jiang Xu held his breath as Hui Yin's hair slid over her shoulder, and her eyes that could capture a person's soul dominated his vision.

Her face came closer and closer, until she tentatively touched her lips against his.

Jiang Xu's mind went blank.

A long while after Hui Yin had leaned back and burrowed her face into the panda, Jiang Xu said haltingly, ”Wifey...forehead?”

Hui Yin didn't lift up her face. ”Just consider it a bonus.”

—Wifey, I like you.

How long had she been waiting for those simple words to be said to her?

That was all she ever wanted. For the person she loved to love her back, and for the two of them to live happily together. She tried her hardest to be a good housewife to Lu Shen so that he could say those three words to her, but either in her past life or in this life, he had never said it.

Hui Yin thought that maybe she wasn't worthy of it.

But Jiang Xu had said it to her!

”I really wish I didn't have to go back.”

Because her voice was muffled, Jiang Xu didn't understand her. He wanted to bury his face into the panda too, as he was sure that he looked like a red tomato from thinking about the kiss. But Wifey's embarrassed appearance...was too cute!

Peeking through the strands of her long hair, Jiang Xu could see that the tips of her ears were red. He really wanted to kiss her again!

After regaining a bit of her dignity, Hui Yin finally had the courage to meet his eyes. Her voice was small.

”I'm going to take responsibility for that kiss too.”

Jiang Xu laughed and pinched her cheeks.

”Wifey, you are so cute.”

Hui Yin used the panda's arm to slap his hand away.

She glanced at the window, and a tingle across her skin made Hui Yin instinctively raise her head.

Her gaze collided with his.

Hui Yin's breathing stopped.

Lu Shen was already looking at them.
