Chapter 134 - My Wife
The couple arrived at the hospital shortly and went to see a doctor. It was just a minor injury with Han Yizhou overreacting about it. Shortly after her swollen palm was tended, the couple headed to the Civil Affairs office to register their marriage. The process was quick and at the end of it, they were given a certificate with their names and signatures in it.
Inside the car, Lu Mengjie was staring at the marriage certificate with a wide smile plastered on her face. She still couldn't believe that she was finally married to the man she loves. She couldn't contain her happiness, her eyes were brimming brightly. She took out her phone just so she could take a photo of the certificate together with her left hand with the ring he gave her. She wanted to update her Weibo and show it to the world but she couldn't. She had to hold back.
She turned and opened her mouth to say something, "Yizhou-"
Her lips were suddenly sealed by his. She was a bit startled by the kiss. As she came back to her senses, she slowly closed her eyes and kissed him back. She felt his hand on her waist, gently caressing it, somehow making her feel the butterflies in her tummy.historical
The poor driver who noticed the atmosphere in the car changing, had to close the divider just to give them their personal space.
Lu Mengjie loved the way he kissed her. It was as if he needed it, as if he would go insane if he held back. The moment she felt his hand slip under her blouse, her skin tingled from the magnetic pull between them. The feel of his lips against her sent goosebumps. She placed the certificate on her side before she shifted her position, moving to straddle him. With her knees on either side of his lips, she hugged him by his neck to deepen the kiss. Oh how much she yearned for this kiss for a month. She has always been waiting for him to the point where she would end up dreaming of him.
Han Yizhou nibbled her lower lip, stroked his hot tongue against hers, licking her into her mouth as they shared the fiery kiss. They have been thirsting for each other for a while now and at that moment, they were trying to quench it.
She wanted to do more but she couldn't. Han Yizhou knew that as well. It was not the right place. Also, Lu Mengjie was still healing. With his size, there was a possibility that he might end up hurting her instead.
The couple could only break from the kiss, their breathing ragged, their chests heaving. Han Yizhou leaned against the seat, his neck arched to stare at her face. "My wife."
Those simple words hit her differently now that they were an official married couple. She couldn't stop her tears from welling up on the side of her eyes. "Yizhou.." she muttered breathlessly.
He pulled his hand out of her blouse just so he could caress her blushing cheek with his thumb. "I will do anything for you, Mengjie. Anything." He was willing to go as far as giving his own life for her.
Staring into his loving eyes was already one of her favorite things to do. "I wonder how my family will react if they learned that you are my husband now." She giggled softly at the thought. "A man who is a lot older than me."
"By anything, that includes convincing your family," he replied, chuckling a bit.
"You don't have to convince them. We're already married, they can't do anything about it anymore." But at the reminder of her sick father, her smile disappeared and her shoulders dropped.
"How's Jingye doing with Bai Keran?" She suddenly asked. Just like Han Yizhou, after Bai Jingye went back to the mainland, she hasn't heard anything from him. On the other hand, Tian Ruyi would message or call her from time to time just to check on her. Her friend's schedule was busy, she was famous and there were countless invitations to have her as a model for the local brands in the mainland.
"It will take time." He sighed. "Bai Keran is a very meticulous person. The person Bai Jingye needs to be careful with is the person behind that old man."
Mr. Qi.
She recalled the time where she saw the uneasiness in Bai Keran's eyes. Whoever Mr. Qi was, he was someone that the old man feared of opposing.
"You need to help him."
"That snake is his problem. I have other matters to take care of."
She knitted her brows, disagreeing with him. "Do you know who your enemy is? The person who killed Chen Yuyan? The people behind your mother's death?"
The man remained silent for a moment. His face was now void of emotions after hearing the questions she asked.
"It's hard to fight an unknown enemy, Yizhou. You won't know which way they will attack you. Also.. why are they not targeting you directly? Why does it have to be the people around you?" The more she recalled her memories, the clearer her thoughts became. "What gain will they have by killing you?"
The more she asked, the more Han Yizhou refused to answer her questions.
"Now that I think of it, your father is Han Qinshan, right? He should have gone after your mother's killers after he learned of her death. Her killers should have been captured by him." If there was one thing she was sure about, his father was not a stupid man.
"Let's not talk about this right now," the man replied, turning down all her inquiries which caused her to frown deeply.
"I am now your wife. We are supposed to share each other's problems and solve them together."
He pursed his lips and averted his eyes. "Mengjie, don't force me."
Force.. the word hit her like a rock. She felt a pang in her chest but she kept it in. That's right. She shouldn't force him.
She released him from her hug and moved away from his lap just so she could sit beside him instead. "Fine, I won't force you. I'll wait until you're ready to tell me everything."
"I'm sorry."
"No, don't be." She tried to understand his part. He was a man who was once driven by revenge. She wanted to be patient for him, make him feel that she was there for him. She looked at him with a small smile plastered on her lips as continued, "just know that whenever you're ready to tell me, my ears are always for you."
His eyes softened upon hearing what she said. At the same time, he couldn't help but think that he didn't deserve someone like her. Despite that, he was unwilling to let her go anymore. That was the purpose of marrying her. He reached out and placed his hand against her cheek. He had a helpless look on his face. He could never win against this woman's kindness.
"One day, I'll tell you everything."
"I'll be waiting for that day then," she replied, chuckling softly. "For now, I need to go home. I have a son to take care of."
During her first week as a mother, surprisingly, she didn't have a hard time taking care of the baby. The infant would rarely cry out unless he was hungry or his diaper was already wet. After she tended to his needs, her son would instantly stop crying. The only thing was.. he disliked being touched by others except for his mother. His ear-piercing cries would never stop until he was given back to his mother. She was forced to hire a nanny since none of the maids, even the man-servants, were able to please her son. He was simply.. picky.
And so, Lu Mengjie didn't have a choice but to hire a nanny. For the first three weeks, the women who applied for the post of nanny all failed except for one..
