Ling Hui walked to the bed, pulled a chair over softly, and sat down.

  After learning that he had woken up, she had not even gotten the chance to look at him properly.

  Although he had lost a lot of weight in his face, his facial features were still handsome. Ling Hui’s gaze swept from his long eyebrows and slender eyes to his thin lips.

  After removing her makeup, she approached him with her clean and elegant face.

  He did not need to wear an oxygen mask anymore and she could clearly feel his breathing.,

  She stared at his pretty lips, closed her eyes and pressed her lips against his.

  “Tang Xi, I love you.”


  She did not dare to say these words when he was awake.

  For a person who was not good at saying sweet nothings, she needed to muster up a lot of courage to say these words even when he was asleep.

  She had always felt that it was better to use her actions to prove her love rather than to say it.

  Because she loved him too, she had been accompanying and protecting him for the past six months.

  After Ling Hui finished speaking, she hugged his neck and buried her face in his shoulder.

  What Ling Hui did not know was that the man she thought had fallen asleep had opened his devilish and beautiful eyes.

  He had not heard it wrongly just now. His princess had said ‘I love you’ to him.

  Tang Xi felt like he was dreaming.

  Although the Princess only said those words because she thought he had fallen asleep, she had indeed said it.

  With her personality, it was not easy to say that she loved him.

  Tang Xi could not help but smile.

  Ling Hui leaned against Tang Xi’s shoulder and suddenly sensed that something was wrong. The man’s chest seemed to be vibrating. She looked up at Tang Xi in confusion.

  She did not know when he had woken up, but he was smiling happily.

  He looked a little silly.

  Seeming to have sensed Ling Hui’s gaze, Tang Xi looked at Ling Hui. Their eyes met and Ling Hui’s fair ears turned red.

  He was not asleep.

  He had heard her confession.

  “Why are you still as annoying as before?” Ling Hui blushed and glared at Tang Xi.

  Tang Xi held Ling Hui’s slender fingers, placed them by his lips, and kissed them lightly.

  Before Ling Hui could react, he put another thing onto her fingers.

  Ling Hui stared at it. It was a perfectly cut diamond ring that was so brilliant that it could almost blind people.

  “You…” He had actually slipped the ring onto her finger when she wasn’t paying attention.

  “You put a ring on me in the hospital? You didn’t even propose!”


  Tang Xi reached out and took out an exquisite box from under the pillow.

  Ling Hui opened the box and there was a jade hairpin inside.

  She looked at it carefully. “It’s my mother’s. Did you find it for me?”


  Tang Xi hummed. “After I bought my mother’s, I kept looking for the one you wanted.”


  Tears of gratitude appeared in Ling Hui’s eyes. “Since you’re so attentive, I’ll forget about the proposal. I agree to be your Mrs Tang.”


  If possible, Tang Xi really wanted to carry Ling Hui and spin her around.

  But now, he was helpless.

  When he was discharged, he would definitely give her a surprise.

  Tang Xi reached out and grabbed Tang Xi’s slender fingers tightly. “Princess, stay here with me tonight.”


  Ling Hui grabbed Tang Xi’s hand back and rested her face on his chest. A happy and sweet smile appeared on her lips. “Okay.”


  Tang Xi looked down at their intertwined fingers and the dazzling ring between her fingers. He had never felt so satisfied and excited before.

  The goddess he had had a crush on for ten years was finally his from now on.

  He would use his entire life to protect and love her so that she would no longer be afraid of marriage and would feel his love and warmth!

  They still had a long time to go.

  He would use his actions to prove that she had not made the wrong choice!

  …


  In the Qiao mansion.

  After attending the wedding banquet in the palace, Cen Xi felt a little uncomfortable and made a move first.

  Qiao Yanze could not leave immediately. He told the driver to drive slowly and send Cen Xi to the palace before he returned to the banquet hall.

  Cen Xi returned home and took a hot bath.

  As she came out of the bathroom, the butler brought supper over.

  Cen Xi took two bites before her stomach started to feel uncomfortable again.

  She did not know why, but she had become picky when it came to food recently. Whenever she worked overtime, she would feel sleepy.

  She seemed to have become more delicate.

  Originally, there were still some documents that needed translating, but after several yawns, Cen Xi had no choice but to go to bed.

  In the middle of the night, Cen Xi heard the sound of a car engine coming from downstairs and she got out of bed.

  As he reached the stairs, the butler helped to support Qiao Yanze.

  He had drunk quite a bit that night and there was an undeniable drunkenness in his upturned eyes.

  Seeing Cen Xi come out, he frowned. “Are you still waiting for me?”


  Cen Xi helped him into the bedroom.

  “I’ll go fill the bathtub for you.”


  Qiao Yanze leaned against the bed, looking at Cen Xi with narrowed eyes.

  “Why are you looking at me like that?”


  “Mrs Qiao, there’s something I want to tell you…”


  Seeing the guilt that flashed past Qiao Yanze’s eyes, Cen Xi’s heart skipped a beat.

  Ever since they got married, he had been very good to her and was honest about everything to her.

  What was it that he needed to be so serious to confess to her?

  Did he have another woman outside?

  No, that was unlikely.

  Qiao Yanze grabbed Cen Xi’s hand and pulled her into his arms. He buried his handsome face into her neck and sniffed her hair.

  “Xiao Xi, you have to promise not to be angry after I tell you.”


  As he spoke, he kissed her cheek, and she could smell the strong smell of cigarettes and alcohol.

  In the past, Cen Xi never found this smell unpleasant and even felt that it was very masculine. But now, her stomach felt uncomfortable.

  Just as his lips were about to touch hers, she got up from his arms and ran toward the bathroom.

  Qiao Yanze heard the sound of a woman vomiting from the bathroom.

  Qiao Yanze immediately sobered up.

  He rushed in like a shooting star, looking at the woman who was rinsing her mouth after retching. He frowned. “Xiao Xi, what’s wrong?”


  Cen Xi’s expression did not look too good, like a pale piece of paper. After rinsing her mouth, she looked at the man behind her. “Qiao Yanze, what are you hiding from me? Do you have another woman behind my back?”


  With that said, she went forward and sniffed his shirt.

  Indeed, she smelled a faint perfume.

  Cen Xi’s eyes immediately turned red.

  After they got married, he had never talked to other women except for work. He had always placed her first in his heart.

  But now, she could smell a woman’s perfume on his shirt.

  “You look so guilty and you’re telling me not to be angry. Do I have to be happy that you have someone outside?”
