Waking up from sleep has often been considered a harsh slap of reality. It’s not like waking up to see the sun rising in the horizon brings any joy. Not particularly when the sun has been rising from the beginning of the time. It is the same every day. So, how could one find a morning beautiful? Isn’t the dreamland a lot prettier?

  If you want the answer then one should ask Xu Mey.

  Slowly and reluctantly, she had uncovered her eyes. She blinked her eyes and rubbed the sleep away. She was expecting to be greeted by those blazing rays of the sun that poured in through the linen blinds. But unexpectedly what greeted her was the strong and broad back of her husband who had been blocking the sun rays for her.

  He was softly talking on the phone about business but even with his busy schedule, he didn’t forget to become her shield against the scorching sun that she disliked the most. She had been particularly moody in pregnancy since greeting those blazing rays would always leave her grumpy.

  But early in the morning, he had warmed her heart with his thoughtfulness. If this reality wasn’t better than her blanket of dreams than what else was? For her, nothing! This was the sight she loved to wake up to now.

  She didn’t even realize for how long she had been staring at his back with a passionate gaze and slightly parted lips.

  "Are you done ogling, baby?" His voice brought a tinge of red to shade her face.

  "What if I say…… not yet?" She wiggled her brows playfully.

  Jie dropped his cellphone on the side table and sat on her side of the bed. With the back of his fingers brushing softly against her cheek, he said, "Oh? Should I take off my shirt for a better view?"

  Her eyes brightened up and she nodded without even thinking at all.

  "Aren’t you raunchy early in the morning?" His light chuckles and taunting made her scrunch up her face in displeasure.

  "What’s wrong? Even if I am lustful, I am lusting over my own husband." She argued back.

  Stroking her cheek with his thumb in a sensual manner, he started, "If you kept looking at me like this……" His head dipped in a blink of an eye to her lips. He kissed her with too much yearning and longing along with textures of love and lust that he could see in her own eyes. Not every feeling could be explained. But they can be expressed and he was planning on doing just that.

  Pushing her back on the bed, his tongue thrust into her mouth asking for permission which she eagerly reciprocated. Sparkles of fire were making their bodies heat up inexplicably.

  He undoubtedly melted under her kiss and gentleness. She was kissing him fervently letting him taste every inch of her mouth. This kiss was enough to give birth to a million sensations. But Xu Mey could feel that in his touch, there wasn’t any sensuality. Instead, it was purer than that and much stronger than that as well.

  It was like he was telling her that he was missing her. But weren’t they just here together? But she knew how he had been busy in the past months and it was really a luxury to be together like this. And yesterday, their time was spoiled because of the intruders who came unannounced.

  She was indeed the one to blame and she only realized it now when she saw how she left her Ah-Jie to brood alone.

  None of them moved away until they were breathless and panting to fill up their lungs with some oxygen. Jie stood up as if he was electrocuted as he said, "I have picked your dress for you. Your breakfast must be ready by now, let me get it while you freshen up."

  Xu Mey held his hand pouted like a child. "Ah-Jie, you’re leaving your baby just like that?"

  He rubbed the space between his brows and stroked her hair lovingly, "You better be good. I don’t want to hurt you or our little princess."

  Xu Mey groaned in frustration. Because of their accident, there was indeed a bit of complication and that’s why the doctors asked them to refrain from any bed activities. And nobody could tell better than Xu Mey how exasperated she was because of that.

  Just when he was about to leave the room, he heard her grumbling, "Just when will this bun come out of the oven!" He couldn’t help but smile at her choice of words and shook his head before leaving.

  "Someone is impatient……" He mumbled to himself.

  While in the room, when Xu Mey saw how he thoughtfully had arranged everything for her beforehand, she was even more frustrated. Why was he so good? He was making it very difficult for her! What a troublesome husband!
