Hearts_2 “Of course, marrying you, I don’t feel wronged at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can see the way you care for me, and I’m really touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also believe that, given time, we will definitely develop feelings for each other.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, I…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really have some resistance to doing ‘that’ with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I feel that it should only be done between people who deeply love each other.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Chuxia unconsciously shrank her shoulders, bracing herself for Zhou Mikang’s storm, knowing she spoke with guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The marriage initially had some forced elements, but its development was fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conditions she set, he had agreed to and fulfilled them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, her saying all this was simply a one-sided breach of contract!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If possible, she didn’t want to do this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, she had even been attempting to mentally prepare herself, but when it came down to it, she backed out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her, sex without love was indeed…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>no different from animals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>don’t like me at all?” Zhou Mikang’s eyes clearly showed signs of hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a proud man and being said so by his young wife hit him hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, Chuxia finally said, “I don’t dislike you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mikang stared straight at her, “Your answer clearly tells me, you don’t dislike me, but you don’t like me either, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you like me?” Chuxia retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mikang nodded without hesitation, “I do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His certain answer made Chuxia freeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m very sure, I like you,” Zhou Mikang continued, “Originally, I thought I only decided to marry you because I was tired of hearing all those nagging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when I asked you to marry me, I said, ‘You give me what I want, I give you what you want,’ it was a very fair trade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now I am very clear, I was wrong, I’m not a person who can treat marriage as a transaction!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I hadn’t truly accepted you from the bottom of my heart, I would never have wanted to marry you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Lin Chuxia, I am very sure, I love you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t ask me what I love about you because even I can’t clearly tell what attracted me to you, but my deepest feelings tell me that I do like you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, the current reality is that I have fallen for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want not just you but also your heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can wait, but remember, you will only be mine in this lifetime!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chuxia looked at him somewhat uncertainly, “What do you mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will wait until the day you fall in love with me, but, I hope it won’t be too long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Chuxia felt her eyes well up, her heart slightly sour, and as though something was stuck in her throat, she couldn’t make a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this what feeling deeply moved felt like?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mikang carefully pulled out their marriage certificate from her hand, “I treasure it a lot, because it’s a testament to our relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought you treasured it as much as I did, but your actions just now suggest that you might be a bit curious about it, but definitely don’t treasure it, it may even be a burden to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I never force women, when one day, you truly wish to be my wife from your heart and treasure it as much as I do, that will be the moment we truly become husband and wife.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting out of bed, he put the marriage certificate back in the drawer, carefully smoothed it over, returned to bed, Zhou Mikang patted the wide-eyed, stunned Chuxia, “Let’s sleep, I am a gentleman, you can rest assured.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hesitating, he pulled back the covers and lay down next to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, however, he was far from as calm as he appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was never a fool; the initial shyness was just because he had never faced a woman in that way before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he calmed down, he saw many things clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was afraid of him, so, when he stepped out of the bathroom, she deliberately acted indifferent and loudly scolded him, simply trying to force him to change into pajamas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he approached her, she instantly revealed her true fears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way she fretfully but staunchly tried to maintain her composure moved him deeply; he knew that if he forced her, she might cry and fuss, but she couldn’t blame him, after all, she was his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the marriage certificate was torn, he was fully awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If loved, that paper was sacred; if not, it was just a piece of paper!She was already his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claiming her body, he could insist, but winning her heart was absolutely not something to be coerced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, his proud heart helped him make a new choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her lie stiff and motionless, barely daring to breathe loudly, he found it both frustrating and amusing, eventually, he stretched his arm and forcefully pulled her into his embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chuxia didn’t struggle; she believed him to be a man of his word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had already promised, he would definitely not force her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, his actions just now truly moved her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She too lay rigidly and reflected; her final conclusion was that she didn’t utterly dislike him after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now, being forcefully held in his arms, she didn’t resist much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just couldn’t accept jumping to the final step without emotional buildup; a gradual progression was what made her more comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That…” Hesitating, Chuxia finally spoke, “Zhou Mikang, let’s start with dating.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mikang nodded without hesitation: “Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know how to date?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mikang: “…” Did he look like a fool…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(To be continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you like this work, we welcome you to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it, and your support is my greatest
