Chapter 217 - A New Adventure

Li Qin Yao watched as Zhang Yu Han entered the passcode to his apartment nervously. This was the second time that she had come over to this place, but the feeling was very different.

The last time she stepped to this place, she was looking for Zhang Yu Han and found him unconscious with fever. But this time, she would move in to live with him. She was officially moving in.

Just the thought that the two of them were now married and will begin their life as husband and wife made her stomach churned. There was a mixture of excitement and fear. The thought of sharing her life with the man she loved excited her. But the unseen future frightened her.

The feeling was like going on to a new adventure. 

A beeping sounded and just like that, the door was unlocked. 

Li Qin Yao suċkėd in a deep breath as she watched the man pushed the door open. Her heart pounded loudly against her ribcage. Then, she caught Zhang Yu Han's gaze and saw the smile on his lips. 

"Welcome home."

Her heart skipped a beat at his words. It was then that she realized that from now on, this apartment will also be her home. 

"Come on. Let's go inside," Zhang Yu Han said. "I'll help you with your luggage."

Li Qin Yao nodded meekly. She watched him carried her luggage inside and followed him to the master bedroom. He placed the luggage beside the large closet and turned to her.

"You should unpack your belonging first. Later, we'll go and have dinner with Grandfather and Yu Ying," Zhang Yu Han said. "Grandfather was excited to meet his granddaughter in law. He would want to see you sooner, but he still has a lot of work."

Li Qin Yao's lips curled into a smile as she thought of that elderly man. She snapped out of her thought when she realized that someone was blocking the light in front of her.

"Qin Yao," Zhang Yu Han lifted her right hand and pressed his lips on the back of her hand. "Don't be nervous."

He had long noticed her restlessness the moment they get off the car. Seeing her anxious look, Zhang Yu Han was at loss. He did not know what he can do to make her more at ease.

A soft laugh escaped her lips. "This is the first time I'm moving in with a man. Of course I'm nervous. I… I don't know what to do or what I should do." She felt his arms around her and habitually leaned on his ċhėst.

His expression softened when he heard her words. At least she was not afraid of him.

"Just be yourself and do what you wanted to do. That should be enough," Zhang Yu Han said. He took a deep breath and startled when he caught her sweet scent. Subconsciously his hand tightened into a fist.

Zhang Yu Han wanted nothing but to pull her closer to him and kiss her senselessly. But at this time, he did not dare to do anything that would cause her to be more anxious. In the end, he could only plant a kiss on the top of her head and pulled away.

"I'll help you to unpack," Zhang Yu Han said.

She nodded and started to unzip her luggage. Because she was moving in at short notice, Li Qin Yao managed to pack only one luggage with her. Anyway, B City and Y City was only a few minutes drive. If she ever needed anything, she can always go back.

Li Qin Yao grabbed a few of her clothes and walked towards the closet. Her movement paused when she realized that half of his closet was emptied to give her space. Li Qin Yao hung her clothes on the rack and stared at the garments in a daze. To see her garments and Zhang Yu Han's arranged next to each other gave her an indescribable feeling.

"Sorry," Zhang Yu Han said as he hugged her from behind. "I was in a rush to marry you that I did not have much time to tidy up this place properly or redecorate this room."

"It's fine," Li Qin Yao said.

After spending her time to unpack her staff and arranging them in the room, her anxiousness lessened and she was getting more comfortable. Cleaning up and rearranging stuff really does take her mind off some thoughts.

Leaning to his broad ċhėst, Li Qin Yao continued, "We can decorate this place together. Then, it will be our place."

His heart bloomed at her words. Zhang Yu Han moved to kiss her on the cheek. He glanced at the clock and noticed that it was almost time for them to meet up with his grandfather and sister.

"Are you tired?" Zhang Yu Han asked.

The two of them rushed to get their certificate and had rushed over here and there. They bȧrėly had time to rest properly.

"I'm still okay." she wriggled out of his arms and turned to face him. "I'm not tired."

His lips curled into a small smile. "Then, we should get going now. Grandfather won't be happy if I didn't bring you to meet him sooner. I heard from Yu Ying that he has asked the chef to prepare a lot of meat dishes to celebrate."

He deliberately made a joke to ease her tension. Once he saw her burst into a laugh, Zhang Yu Han let out a relieved sigh.

"Zhang Yu Han," Li Qin Yao called out his name and tiptoed to kiss him on the lips. "Thank you." Seeing the dazed expression on his face turned her smile wider. 

A thought crossed her mind and her smile turned slightly mischievous.

Li Qin Yao tiptoed to link her arms around his neck. "Right. I almost forgot something."

Zhang Yu Han raised a brow, motioning her to continue.

Her expression turned serious as she spoke, "Congratulation. You have now graduated from my probation boyfriend."

"Since you have married me, of course, you are now upgraded to my husband," she tilted her head sideways as she continued to stare at him. Then, she leaned forward to kiss him on the jaw. "A congratulatory kiss! Are you happy, husband?"

Zhang Yu Han was stunned the moment he heard the word husband. Unable to bear his happiness and excitement, he then bent down to kiss her on the lips.

He was supposed to give her a simple, short kiss, but due to his excitement he began to press their lips together in a desperate and rough kiss. 

Li Qin Yao found that she had to steal her breath between his kisses or else, she might suffocate. Her breath hitched when she began to feel his touch against her skin. His touch began to move from her back and slowly crept up.

Then, he pulled away and looked at her straight in the eye. Zhang Yu Han swallowed when he saw her misty eyes. 

Something suddenly snapped in his mind and Zhang Yu Han suddenly realized that they were both late for dinner with his grandfather.
