Jian Han’s beautiful almond-shaped eyes were in a blur, and she was in a daze. Slowly, she moved around and turned her small head sideways to look at the other side of the bed; there was no one here.
Zhou Dayuan was not around.
Jian Han leaped up from the bed in an instant. She looked nervous as she hurriedly got out of bed. She did not even put her shoes on as she said, “Dayuan, Zhou Dayuan… Hubby…”
She dashed out of the door.
Where did Zhou Dayuan go?
She was so blissful last night. Everything was just like a dream. Now that she woke up, did she also wake up from her dream, and he was not around once again?
Jian Han could not stop the tears in her eyes from falling down. She used her small hand to messily wipe her tears. She ran across the corridor as she descended the stairs. She called out for him. “Hubby, hubby…”
Zhou Dayuan came out of the kitchen. He wore a thin white v-neck sweater and a pair of casual khakis. He walked out and saw the woman standing on the steps. She called his name while she sobbed. Her pale, almond-shaped face was covered in tears. She looked lost and soulless.
Zhou Dayuan’s clear expression turned dark. He lifted his long legs as he walked over to approach her. His tone was hurried and angry. “Jian Han, why did you not put on your shoes and rush out? Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?”
He picked her up in his arms.
Jian Han stretched her small hand out to hug his neck quickly. She placed her small head in his warm embrace lovingly as she nudged him. She did not have anything anymore; she only had him left.
She was willing to give up the entire world for him.
“Woo, hubby… Where did you go? When I opened my eyes, I didn’t see you around. I thought that you had left, and did not want me anymore…”
Zhou Dayuan walked to the side of the sofa and sat down. He carried the woman and let her sit in his embrace. The woman in his embrace was sobbing and struggled to catch her breath. Her frail shoulders were shivering, and she looked absolutely pitiful.
He felt that his heart was tugged by a large hand. It was so painful, and he helped her to wipe her tears. He coaxed her gently. “I didn’t go anywhere else. After I woke up, I went to the kitchen to make some porridge for you… Don’t cry anymore. Your eyes are already swollen now. Why is your body so cold? What are you going to do if you catch a cold? You are going to be a mother soon, and you still do not know how to take care of yourself!”
He caressed her in his arms as he coaxed her. His thin lips nudged her slightly cold face. His entire heart was shattered by her sobbing, and he felt so much pain.
Before meeting her, he had never thought that there would be a woman whom he would be so in love with, and he gave all of the gentleness that he had to her.
In front of her, he seemed to not be like his usual self, but this was the most beautiful look of love.
With him comforting her, Jian Han stopped crying slowly. She took a breath through her small nostrils as she calmed down.
Zhou Dayuan was very close to her small face. He was so close that he could see the tears on her long fan like eyelashes. They were sparkling and transparent. As she sobbed, her eyelashes fluttered just like the wings of a butterfly. He was in a good mood, and he used his large hand to caress her small face carefully. He took her into his embrace before he said, “Why are you sobbing so hard? Are you afraid of me leaving?”
“Yeah.” Jian Han nodded her head.
“I would not leave, as long as…you do not anger me.”
Jian Han heard his words and lifted her gaze up. Her almond shaped eyes were wet and moist. She had an innocent and pure look in her eyes as she looked at him in a daze. “But, what would anger you then?”
His emotions were all over the place recently. She did not know how she may bother him. How did she anger him? She had to ask him to say it clearly.
Zhou Dayuan pecked her red lips lightly. “For example, if you run barefoot on the ground…you disappear and I am unable to search for you… if you have intimate actions with another, I would be angry.”
Her obedience made Zhou Dayuan lift his eyebrows. He used some strength in his large hands, and he turned her small palm-sized face over. His loving gaze scanned her supple red lips, and he wanted to kiss her.
But he was unable to do so, because he was blocked by a small hand. The warmth in his embrace disappeared. The woman used both her hands and feet at the same time to escape his grasp.
“I will go and wash up.” She walked into the bathroom.
Zhou Dayuan looked at her back profile. Her slim, lithe figure was in his loose white shirt. She was slim, and she did not have much of a figure in his clothes. She looked fine normally, but now, it was jarring to the eyes. He did not know why, but she looked extra frail today. When she sobbed just now, she was just like a small girl lost on the main streets, and she looked so lonely and helpless.
Zhou Dayuan had a frown on his face. His heart was empty, and he felt a little uneasy. It was probably because she did not allow him to kiss her just now.
He was naturally sensitive. Just now, she was extremely resistant to face him, and he felt it clearly.
Jian Han stood before the sink to brush her teeth. She noticed him in her peripheral vision. His long and handsome figure leaned on the door, and he placed both of his hands into his pockets as he looked at her.
Jian Han did not lift her head up. She also did not say anything. She brushed her teeth quietly.
After she brushed her teeth, she washed her face. She just cupped some warm water in her hands, and she splashed it onto her face. Her entire body was brought into his embrace from behind. His light and loving kiss landed on her hair as he said to her, “I have released Tang Fan already, so you don’t have to worry. Also, Wifey, sorry, sorry. A few days ago, the things I said and did to you, at that time, I was only too jealous. In the future I won’t be like this anymore. I will treat you well.”
Jian Han took the towel to wipe her face. She turned her body around, and her back was leaning on the sink. She used both of her small hands to tug his sweater as she asked, “Hubby, do you think that we will be blissful?”
Zhou Dayuan caressed her hair. “Are you blissful now?”
Jian Han did not hesitate as she nodded her head forcefully. “Yes, I am blissful!”
Zhou Dayuan had a warm smile on his face. “Everyone has a different definition of what it means to be blissful. If you feel blissful at this moment, then Wifey, I guarantee that we willbe in bliss for the rest of our lives.”
Jian Han curled up her beautiful maroon lips. She used both of her small hands to hug his neck, and she hugged him tight.
Zhou Dayuan closed his eyes feeling satisfied. He turned his head sideways to kiss her tender neck. He used one large hand to pin the back of her head secretly. He smiled and said, “Wifey, why is your body so fragrant? The moment I have a whiff of your scent, I feel drunk. Do you feel uncomfortable in the morning? If you are not, let me kiss you for a moment.”
He searched for the corners of her lips, and he brushed her lightly.
Jian Han closed her eyes. She felt his thick and long eyelashes touching her face. She curled her hands on his neck and reacted to him, inexperienced.
She did not know how long they kissed one another. Jian Han felt her tongue go numb. She turned her head sideways as she closed her eyes for a moment. In her line of vision was the bright sunshine streaming through the window of the bedroom. She pushed the man who was on her as he continued to kiss her. Her small face was already maroon as she said, “What time is it now? You don’t have to report for work?”
Zhou Dayuan felt that time had gone back ten years. At that time, both of them were stuck to one another. The sweet time was spent with both of them kissing each other as they pleased. It quickly passed, and they did not care about the world outside. There was no one who could disturb them. They were stuck with one another. They did not need a large amount of space, and they hugged each other tight.
“Yeah…” His voice was blurry. “Doesn’t matter what time it is right now. Am I still not entitled to take a few days of honeymoon leave?”
Jian Han laughed. She buried her small face in his chest. With her small white hand, she drew circles on his firm chest. She sounded coy and displeased as she said, “Hubby, you are not allowed to be lazy! You have to work hard to earn money to support the family.”
Zhou Dayuan heard the coyness in her voice. He almost could not control himself. He was afraid that if they continued to kiss, he would lose control, and he was unwilling as he let go of her lips. He hugged her waist as he brought her into the bedroom, and he pushed her into the closet. “Pick an outfit and change into it. I will bring you to visit my grandparents after we eat breakfast.”
There was a mirror in the closet. Jian Han lifted her head up and looked at the man hugging her. He used both of his muscular arms to hug her soft waist. Her heart felt incredibly sweet, and she also did not know if others spent their newlywed days like them. He was stuck to her and was unwilling to let her go for even a moment.
“Hubby, then you go out first. I am going to change my clothes. Furthermore, if we are going to see Grandpa and Grandma, shouldn’t you give them a call beforehand to let them know?”
Zhou Dayuan buried himself in her tender neck. He stretched his hand into his pockets and went to grab his phone. Jian Han thought that he was going to let go of her. She just wanted to move, but she was cupped into his embrace again. The busy tone rang out in her ears, and he already pressed the key to make the call. Jian Han thought to herself inside her heart, she knew that they would be unable to be separated from one another these past few days.
Ding ding! The busy tone rang out twice, and no one picked up.
“Hubby, what’s wrong? Grandma did not answer the call?”
Zhou Dayuan had a frown on his face while he looked at his phone. He did not know why, but he had a bad premonition.
Grandma was in the Ning family villa at that moment. She did not bring her phone along with her. She left her phone in the SUV yesterday. She was in the room now, and she used the landline in the room to make a call.
The melodious ringtone rang out, and Grandma firmly held the phone with her right hand. Her eyes lit up brightly.
Dou Dou’s father, pick up the phone quickly….
She could not wait to let him know this piece of good news.
At this moment, the phone was connected. “Hello!” Grandma was emotional as she smiled and said, “Hello, Dou Dou’s father, let me tell you some good news. I have found our Dou Dou already. Dou Dou is the daughter in law of the Ning family, Yue Wanqing.
“Dou Dou’s father, I am really overjoyed. Our Dou Dou is living very well. She has a beautiful family and has given birth to an extremely stunning granddaughter for us. Do you know who our granddaughter is? She is Ning Qing.
“Ning Qing is the beautiful girl that gave me her phone number. Ning Qing is the champion in your red wine competition. Ning Qing is Shaoming’s wife! Dou Dou’s father, do you know how proud and overjoyed I am right now? Our Dou Dou and our granddaughter do not embarrass us! Without us, they could live such upright lives while being healthy and happy.
“Dou Dou’s father, come over quickly. Let us bring Dou Dou and Qingqing back home. They are our biological children, and these few years, they’ve been out of the family. The amount that we owe them… I have to pay them back properly. I want to give everything I have to them. It all belongs to them anyway.”
Grandma was excited, and she could not stop talking. She talked for a long period of time. She had so many things that she wanted to tell Dou Dou’s father, but she realized that she had said so much, and there was no reaction on the other end.
Grandma noticed that something was amiss. “Hello, Dou Dou’s father?”
“Hello, Grandma.” There was a female voice on the other end instead. Her voice that she purposely made coy made Grandma break out in goosebumps immediately. It was Zhou Zhilei.
Grandma’s expression changed as she coldly said, “Zhilei, why is it you? Where is your grandfather. Why did you answer his phone?”
