Actually, no one knows how humbly and cautiously he loves. Before the two got married, he couldnât even imagine she would marry him.
Getting married felt like a dream to him, afraid that one day he would wake up from it.
"Qigang, I love you, love you so much, in this life and the next, Iâll only love you," Sheng Ning said solemnly, leaning in his arms.
"Me too."
The two embraced each other for a long time before separating, "You go take a shower first, Iâll sort out the clothes."
"Alright!"
Men shower too quickly, Sheng Ning had just taken out her nightgown, when Xu Qigang came out wearing black shorts. Seeing his perfect body, Sheng Ning instinctively looked away.
"Youâve seen it many times, why still so shy."
"Actually, not that many times." Saying this, she wished she could slap herself.
In the manâs joyful laughter, Sheng Ning fled somewhat awkwardly.
In the bathroom, she was stunned after showering.
Damn it! In the rush to escape, she forgot to bring her nightgown, what now? Could she put on the clothes she just took off? Thatâs impossible, theyâre already drenched in sweat.
"Xiao Ning, did you forget your clothes?"
"Xiao Ning, are you okay?" Xu Qigang couldnât get any response from her and became worried, "Iâm coming in."
"Wait..." Sheng Ning quickly called out, "I didnât bring my nightgown."
"Haha..." The manâs deep laughter was stuck in his throat, sounding particularly husky and enticing. "Open the door, Iâll hand the clothes to you."
"You go to sleep first! Iâll just wash some clothes."
"Alright!"
Xu Qigangâs footsteps left, she finished washing the clothes before opening the door and coming out, realizing it was already eleven oâclock. Guessing he was probably asleep, she treaded quietly back to the room.
On the bed, Xu Qigang was lying inside, covered with the thin blanket she just changed, his long legs exposed.
Sheng Ning turned off the lights, moved softly to the bed and just lay down, when the manâs strong arm reached out and pulled her onto himself.
"Werenât you asleep?"
Xu Qigang opened his eyes, his fiery gaze breathtakingly bright in the darkness, Sheng Ningâs heart couldnât help but race. "Werenât you asleep?"
"I was waiting for you."
Sheng Ning blushed as her face felt like it was burning, "Let me down first."
He didnât take it to heart at all, "My injury has long healed."
"Really?"
"Yeah!" He pointed to the right side of his chest, "Look, the gauze is removed."
Sheng Ning lowered her head and found the gauze was indeed gone, leaving a scar the size of a one yuan coin. Judging by the scar, itâs imaginable how painful it was back then.
Sheng Ningâs tears fell onto the scar with a plop.
"It must have hurt a lot, right?"
"Itâs okay!"
"Were you scared last night?" Xu Qigang found a topic to distract himself. Otherwise, with his urge for affection, she simply wouldnât be able to withstand it.
"No, I wasnât afraid at all. Will the enemy return?"
"Yes, as long as theyâre still alive, theyâll keep coming." He thought of something, and his face turned much colder.
"What should we do? We canât always be passively defending."
"You just need to live our life peacefully, help me have a baby. Leave everything else to me."
Her previous fatigue vanished at the mention of having a baby, she tilted her head and kissed his chin expectantly, "Iâm at a dangerous time right now, maybe Iâm already pregnant."
"Then lie down quickly." The manâs expression changed dramatically, even slightly distancing himself, fearing he might inadvertently harm her.
"I was kidding." The dangerous time was real, but getting pregnant isnât that easy. Even if confirmed, the sound wouldnât be for another two months.
"Xiao Ning!" The man gritted his teeth in frustration.
"Tomorrow, youâre not going out, right?"
"There are still many things to handle..."
"But your injuries arenât fully healed yet."
"Iâm already fine, do you want to try again?"
"No..."
The night was still long; this evening was a truly relaxing moment for the couple since getting married.
