Chapter 28: I Was Too Impatient
He smiled and shook his head: "Didn’t you say you didn’t want others to know we’re married, so how can you wear a ring?" He opened the gift box, and a diamond-studded metal watch appeared before her, "The first time I met you, you threw away the watch you were wearing! It means you’ve already said goodbye to the past!"
He even noticed that! Ji Niandong’s heart trembled fiercely!
Lu Beichen took the watch out of the gift box, placed the box on the table, and reached out to clasp Ji Niandong’s wrist, "I heard a watch represents binding you for a lifetime! The past is already gone, now and the future, you are mine! Since you want to keep our marriage a secret, you can’t wear a ring. But, one day, I will prepare a grand wedding for you and personally place a ring on your finger!"
He declared tenderly and assertively, confessing, and somehow, the watch perfectly sat on her wrist.
Ji Niandong looked at him steadily; even if this really was a dream, even if it was indeed a scheme, nothing could stop the fluttering excitement at this moment.
Her gaze towards him slowly carried a hint of infatuation, her flushed cheeks stunning under the light, and her slightly parted red lips exuded a tempting hue.
Lu Beichen wrapped one hand around her nape, pushed aside the bouquet in her hand with the other, and gripped her waist. Unable to control himself any longer, he kissed her.
The tip of his tongue lightly brushed her lips, soft and sweet with a hint of dessert fragrance; combined with the surrounding ambivalent atmosphere, even the kiss became burning hot. Their breaths mingled at their noses, his gentleness overshadowed with dominance, savoring a long-lost beauty, slowly sinking and unable to extricate himself.
