Chapter 184: Your wish, my command
Jinhai hugged her back, and both silently remained in each other’s embrace for a long time.
“Liu Jinhai…you have no idea how much this means to me. I don’t think my heart can contain this much happiness. I still feel as if this is all my dream.”
Jinhai said, “Then I will prove that this is not a dream.
He smashed his lips onto hers, claiming her mouth, hungry and intense. Her smell intoxicated him, and her taste hypnotized him like he never wants to come out of it. Nana clutched his hair, reciprocating the same wave of emotions washing over her entire being.
It was as if time had stopped as they were leaning in each other’s embrace, not wanting to part from each other. He parted her lips and skillfully merged his tongue with hers, shutting down all their senses.
The distance and the helplessness they had to bear all this time reduced into dust as their hearts tingled, feeling their first kiss as husband and wife. The excitement, the delight realizing this fact, was beyond any words to measure.
They drew back to take some air. Nana sharply inhaled. His intense gaze overwhelmed her with giddiness as if he wanted to swallow her whole. Her face turned hot and red. Jinhai couldn’t wait any longer and once again pressed his lips onto hers, exploring the depths of her mouth.
This time he slowly brushed his finger against the hollow of her throat. He remembered how she writhed beneath him when he had kissed and licked her there while making love. And just as expected, she jolted, feeling his cold fingertips. Their hearts thumped loudly as the kiss turned fiercer. From her throat, he lowered his hand to press her breast.
“Mmmm…” she let out a soft moan in between the kiss.
Jinhai sighed in her mouth. He had the urge to take her then and there, but he had to wait a bit more. He reluctantly broke the kiss and said, “Do you like the ring?”
Nana rested her head on his chest. “Very. I love it.” She pursed her lips. “But I have never worn anything so expensive before. I’m nervous. What if I lose it?”
Jinhai thought it wouldn’t be wise to tell her the cost. She would definitely faint.
He smiled. “Your husband is Liu Jinhai. I will buy you a new ring, but I won’t let your ring finger be empty.”
“You…”
Seriously these rich people…
“I don’t want any new ring. This ring is filled with the memories of this place and your vows. No other ring can take it’s place, even if it looks the same. I promise I will wholeheartedly take care of it.”
He lovingly kissed her forehead.
Suddenly her stomach grumbled.
Nana wished to run somewhere far away. She was too embarrassed to face him—such a bummer in a romantic mood.
Jinhai laughed loudly.
“Don’t laugh!” She glared at him.
“You must be hungry. Come, I have planned a special dinner for us.”
There was a narrow path along the bushes, and he walked with her passing through them. Nana was enjoying it as if she was on an adventure. A little farther and they saw a similar courtyard as before surrounded by trees and bushes with starlight twinkling on it.
But a beautiful dinner table was set at the center of it. The food was already laid on it.
Nana had no idea when her husband arranged all of this in such a short period of time, completely novel and beautiful.
Jinhai pulled back the chair and helped her sit and settled opposite her.
“Before starting with dinner, I want to show you something.”
“What?” she asked in anticipation. Till now, she loved every one of his surprises, and couldn’t wait to find out the next.
He clicked his finger, and the place turned dark. But slowly, it began to light up. Nana saw small balls of light floating up in the air all around the place, brightly shining it with their radiance.
Nana widened her eyes in realization.
“Fireflies…”
In that soft and warm glow, Nana looked at her husband. She had no words to describe this fuzzy feeling in her heart. So much joy in a single day…she will never forget this day till her last breath.
She had only seen fireflies in books and television, and she always wished to see one in real.
“H-how did you do this? This is really so beautiful. Do you know? I always wanted to see fireflies. I was always so fascinated to see them shimmer in the darkness. They feel so magical, right?”
“I know.” He said.
“Hm?”
“I was talking to your brothers one day, and they told me how much you like fireflies. It was your wish to see them. And your wish is my command. So, I wanted to fulfill your wish on this special night.”
She looked at him, stunned. She didn’t even utter her wish, but he already realized it before saying anything.
“Thank you so much. You…you did so much so for me, but I didn’t do anything for you.” She felt guilty of only being at the receiving end.
He smiled and held her hand. “I only want you to stay beside me forever, smiling and laughing. I don’t want anything else. Other than that, just leave everything to your capable husband.”
“How could I? That will be unfair. I also want to make you feel the same happiness that I’m feeling right now. It is my duty as the wife too.” She nodded seriously.
He raised his eyebrows. “Alright.” He got up and kneeled in front of her. “Why don’t you kiss me and show your gratitude?”
“You…” she was fidgeting with her dress. “C-close your eyes.” She was feeling shy about initiating the kiss.
He grinned and did as told. Nana leaned forward and softly kissed him. Jinhai, too, gently kissed her back. “En. I got my reward.”
She blushed furiously.
He sat back, and they continued with their dinner in the company of the cute fireflies.
