Chapter 797: First day as husband and wife

Next morning.

Dong Xuebing woke up to an aching back. He yawned and saw a beautiful face in front of him. Xie Huilan was sleeping and facing him. Her breathing was steady, and she was sound asleep. She is beautiful. He picked a bunch of her hair and smelled it.

Her hair smelled nice.

This beautiful woman is my wife now.

Dong Xuebing recalled last night and felt satisfied. He felt he should live longer to have more time to admire his beautiful wife.

Dong Xuebing got more excited and lifted the covers carefully to expose Xie Huilan’s naked body. He reached over and caressed her body gently. He ran his fingers along her curves and felt her smooth complexion.

Xie Huilan’s eyelashes fluttered.

Dong Xuebing quickly stopped and looked at her. “Are you awake?”

Xie Huilan did not open her eyes and asked. “What time is it?”

Dong Xuebing looked at the clock. “It is before 7 am now.”

Xie Huilan opened her eyes to a slit and looked at him. “Why did you wake me so early?”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “I did not want to wake up. But I couldn’t resist touching you. You are too beautiful.”

Xie Huilan narrowed her beautiful eyes more. “Did you enjoy yourself last night?”

Dong Xuebing knew she was going to settle the score now. “Err…. No.”

“No?” Xie Huilan smiled. “You made me kneel, raised my butt, and acted like a bitch. Yet, you were not satisfied? What do you need me to do for you to be satisfied?”

Dong Xuebing blushed. “What are you talking about? Bitch? That was a normal position, and I had no intentions of insulting you. You should know I respect and admire you. I always care for you and will never bully you. Err…. What happened yesterday?” He feigned innocence. “I was drunk and couldn’t remember anything.”

“Oh, nice try.”

“What do you mean? I can’t remember anything.”

Xie Huilan giggled. “Fine. I had also forgotten everything yesterday. Are we married yet? Oh, we have not received our marriage certification. We are not legally married.”

Dong Xuebing got a fright. “Huh? You don’t want to get our marriage cert?!”

Xie Huilan smiled. “I was drunk yesterday and can’t remember anything. Why are we going to register our marriage? Who are you?”

“Are you asking who I am?”

“Haha…. I don’t know who you are. Can you tell me your name?”

Dong Xuebing surrendered. “Fine…. You win. I apologize for last night. It’s my fault for doing that without your permission. I will seek your permission before doing anything.” He reached over and hugged her waist. “Don’t be angry. We held our wedding ceremony and invited many guests. Even the Chief Secretary and Premier’s wife had attended our wedding. It’s too late for you to regret it now. We are going to collect our certificate soon.”

Xie Huilan smiled. “That shall depend on my mood.”

Dong Xuebing knew Xie Huilan was joking. “Then how are you feeling now?”

“Hmmm….” Xie Huilan closed her eyes and turned. “I want to sleep a while longer. Someone had tortured me badly last night.”

“Ok. Go back to sleep.”

“Pull up the cover for me, ok?”

“Sure. I will prepare breakfast now. I will call you when breakfast is ready.”

“Make something I like.”

“Of course.”

Dong Xuebing got out of bed and kissed Xie Huilan’s forehead before covering her. He went to the shared bathroom to wash up and change. She was right. He had enjoyed himself in that position, but it was tiring for her. He had not spared a thought for her last night.

Being rash is not good.

However, Dong Xuebing did not regret what he had done.

Dong Xuebing left the bathroom and stretched before going into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

7.30 am.

Dong Xuebing placed the piping hot breakfast on the dining table. He looked at the feast he had prepared and nodded. Other than his mother, he had never prepared such breakfast.

“Huilan!” Dong Xuebing shouted.

“I heard you.” Xie Huilan replied.

“Come down for breakfast. It’s ready.”

“Ok. I’m coming.”

Dong Xuebing set the bowls and chopsticks neatly.

Xie Huilan walked down the stairs gracefully when Dong Xuebing was done. She had taken a shower, and her hair was wet. Her top was a white long sleeve shirt, and her black lacy bra showed. She was not wearing any pants and was showing her lacy black underwear.

Dong Xuebing was speechless. “We had talked about this yesterday. Why are you not wearing anything again?”

“I am used to it. Haha….” Xie Huilan did not feel embarrassed.

“Are you like this in Yan Tai County? What if someone visited you or peeped at you through the windows with a binocular?”

Xie Huilan laughed. “I can’t control others if they want to peep.”

Dong Xuebing gave her a stare. “What are you talking about? You are my wife now.”

“I was joking. I closed my curtains at home. Also, when have you seen me like this when you were with me?”

Dong Xuebing replied. “Really?”

“No. Haha….”

“No?”

“Did you think I am an exhibitionist?”

Dong Xuebing was speechless. “I trust everything you say. Can you stop making such jokes?”

“Fine…. I should not tease my little husband.”

“I think you enjoyed yourself when you teased me.”

Xie Huilan laughed. “Oh, you found out.” She gasped when she saw the breakfast. Dong Xuebing had cooked eggs, sausages, noodles, congee, braised beef, and preserved salted vegetables. “Oh, what a feast. Haha…. Thanks, my husband.”

Dong Xuebing liked Xie Huilan to address him as husband and not little husband.

This was the first time Xie Huilan referred to him as her husband.

Dong Xuebing was easily satisfied and felt his cooking up a storm in the morning was worth it. “Don’t mention it. It’s my duty to prepare breakfast for you. Let’s eat before the food turns cold.”

“You should sit with me.”

“Sure.”

They sat down and picked up the chopsticks.

Dong Xuebing picked up a piece of bread and gave it to Xie Huilan. She did not eat it immediately. She sat there looking at him. He asked. “What’s wrong? Are you not hungry?”

Xie Huilan laughed. “Why are you sitting so far from me?”

“Huh? I am sitting opposite you. Oh, our table is slightly bigger.”

Xie Huilan patted the chair beside her. “Sit here. This is our first day as husband and wife. I want you to sit beside me.”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “When did you become so sweet? You want me to sit beside you? Ok. I will move closer to you.” He picked up his plates and moved.

Xie Huilan nodded and used a fork and knife to gracefully cut the bread and sausages.

Dong Xuebing was not used to these dining etiquettes and ate the bread with his hand. He even slurped on his congee loudly.

Xie Huilan laughed. “I had told you before to be mindful when you eat.”

Dong Xuebing thought nothing about it. “It’s only the two of us here. What’s there to hide? Furthermore, I am used to this.”

She is in her early thirties, and he is only twenty-five.

She is beautiful, and he has ordinary looks.

She is refined, and he is carefree.

They are very different, with many conflicting points. However, they got married in the end. Life is full of surprises.
