Chapter 457: All These Marks He Left Behind
Having said that, Mu Xichen climbed onto the bed.
Li Beinian obediently allowed him to apply the ointment for her.
After the ointment had been applied, as if possessed by evil mischief, she turned to grab his hand. Pressing it against her thigh, she demanded, “Sore.”
The man seemed relieved by her reaction and started to massage her thigh with his large hands, taking care to apply just the right pressure.
She narrowed her eyes as she settled comfortably. In no time, she dozed off.
He stopped when he saw that she had fallen asleep and massaged her lower back for a bit.
She gave a soft chirp, perhaps from feeling comfortable. Her eyes fluttered open for a moment, then she turned around and snuggled up to him.
Then, she took his hand and placed it on her shoulder, saying, “I’m sore here too.”
The man, now overwhelmed by an indescribable sense of sweet intoxication, gladly did as she demanded.
When he noticed that she had fallen asleep once more, the fire in him was stoked.
She was sleeping next to him, in his embrace.
Her body was covered with the marks he left behind. She complained, kicked up a fuss, cried, and laughed...
Nothing could get more real than this.
He silently drew her closer. He could feel their hearts beating together, as one.
From now on, he would be able to fall asleep and wake up with her in his arms.
They were... man and wife.
...
Li Beinian woke up only when the sun was high in the sky.
She was still feeling sore, but after the long massage and a stretch, she didn’t feel half as bad as she did the day before.
She picked up the t-shirt that had been carelessly strewn on the floor and put it on. Then, she got up and washed up.
Stepping into the bathroom, she realized that it was designed with the same transparent and open view.
The sink counter was positioned directly opposite the bed. When she looked out, the light honey beach, expanse of blue skies, and the sea of fluffy white clouds filled her vision.
The deep blue sea met the azure skies at the horizon, the layers of clouds basked in the pure golden light of the sun.
It was beautiful.
Even the act of brushing one’s teeth had become a luxurious experience.
After Li Beinian had washed up and changed, she threw open the full-length windows in the bedroom.
She stepped out onto the balcony and looked into the distance. Rolling hills surrounded the stretch of sea. The layered landscape was like a fairyland.
As she stared mesmerized, she suddenly felt something tighten around her waist.
She shuddered involuntarily but quickly settled. She turned her head, without a doubt about who it might be.
Mu Xichen also looked into the distance. “Do you like it?”
“I do.” Li Beinian’s eyes wandered back to the scenery, feeling a little regretful. “A place like this would have been better off developed as a holiday resort. It would’ve been more profitable.”
He smiled. Lowering his gaze to look at her, he said, “That’s right. Why didn’t I think of that?”
She shot him a look of disdain and replied, “Do you think I’m stupid?”
How could he not have thought about something so obvious?
Indeed, he laughed as he put his arms around her and explained, “Although a holiday resort would’ve been profitable, it’s too commercialized. It will ruin this place.”
She spun her head around in surprise.
“The most important thing is,” he slowly broke into a smile as he said, “this is an excellent place to make love... nests.”
Instantly, she turned a bright scarlet.
Damn it. She thought he was going to say make love.
She pushed his hands off awkwardly and changed the topic. “I’m starving. What’s there to eat?”
“I’ve made noodles,” he said as he followed behind her. “We’ll go to Qian Zhou after we’ve eaten.”
“Ok.”
...
Apart from Mu Xichen’s group of men and Bo Chengcheng, the only other person who knew about their marriage was Grandpa.
It seemed that Grandpa was already expecting this news when they arrived in Qian Zhou.
Stroking Small Lock in his arms, he sounded an icy “humph” when he saw Mu Xichen and Li Beinian walking in.
