It did not take a long time to dry Zhang Yu Han's hair. Once she was done with the task, Li Qin Yao rested her hand on his shoulder to gaze into his eyes. The two of them spent a few minutes just looking into each other's eyes, having an unspoken conversation.
Li Qin Yao was the first to broke out of their silence. She leaned forward to kiss him on the cheek and spoke, "I should run a hot bath for you." She lifted her hand and rested it on his cheek. "It wouldn't be good if you caught a fever again."
Before Zhang Yu Han could say a word, his wife has already walked away leaving him and the towel on his hair in the living room. Seeing her retreating figure heading towards the bathroom, Zhang Yu Han let out a loud sigh.
He was very close to spring forward to kiss her and perhaps do something more exciting. But then, she had run away even before he could do anything. Zhang Yu Han wondered if the look in his eyes were too apparent that his wife had chosen to run away.
Zhang Yu Han took a deep breath to calm down. He stood up and suddenly noticed the bags that he had left on the dining table before they went out for dinner. He picked up their ŀȧptop bags and was about to place them into the office when he saw a plastic bag on the side.
Curiously, he peeked into the bag. His movement paused when he saw the familiar-looking snacks.
"I heard from Wei Jun Hao that you often eat those brands during high school."
Zhang Yu Han turned around to the voice and saw his wife leaning on the door frame.
A teasing smile curved on her lips when she recalled the conversation with Wei Jun Hao that afternoon. "Mister Zhang, I heard that you once climbed up the school's fence just to get out and buy these snacks."
His face darkened at the thought that Wei Jun Hao might speak a few inappropriate words. "What else did Wei Jun Hao tell you?"
"Hmm…" She walked over to him and placed a finger on her lips. "That's… a secret."
Zhang Yu Han let out a laugh. "Mrs. Zhang, do you think it's wise to share a secret with another man other than your husband?"
Li Qin Yao poked at his ċhėst coquettishly. "Don't be mad. I just wanted to learn a little something about you. Anyway, it was interesting to hear how others speak about you." She reached out for a packet of potato chips and tore the packet open. She took a piece and took a bite.
"I haven't eaten these for a very long time," Zhang Yu Han commented.
Hearing his words, Li Qin Yao took another piece and shoved it to her husband's mouth. Just before he could take a bite at her hand, Li Qin Yao had already pulled her fingers away. Zhang Yu Han's eyes darkened and his jaw clenched at her continuous teasing.
"I should go and check on the bath," Li Qin Yao pulled away again. "It will be bad if the water started to spill."
A low chuckle escaped him as he watched her silhouette once again made her escape. After standing in the living room alone for a while, Zhang Yu Han left the bags on the table and started to go after his wife.
As soon as he walked into the bedroom, Zhang Yu Han took off his wet shirt and threw it aside. Then, stealthily, he walked into the bathroom and watched his wife checking on the water temperature.
Just as she stood up and turned, Zhang Yu Han had swiftly wrapped his arms around her waist, preventing her to make another escape.
"You… what are you trying to do?" Li Qin Yao watched him with her eyes wide. Suddenly, she had a foreboding.
"Wife, earlier you were also got wet in rains," he tilted his head and smiled mischievously. "Don't you think you need to soak in a hot bath too? It would be troublesome if you caught a fever, right?"
"Then, I will soak in a hot bath after you." Li Qin Yao patted her hand on his ċhėst but soon realized that he had taken off his shirt. She then realized that she was gawking at his body.
"Let's just soak in together. Anyway, we should try and save water."
Li Qin Yao opened her mouth to come out with another excuse, but before the words could escape her lips, her mouth was already sealed by his kiss. Sensing the urgency from his kiss, Li Qin Yao decided to go with the flow and reciprocate his kiss.
Because of their difference in height, Li Qin Yao had to stand on tiptoe, and her hands subconsciously linked to his neck to support herself. Feeling a bit sore around her shoulder and neck area, Li Qin Yao pulled Zhang Yu Han closer to her.
A gasp escaped her lips when his lips started to leave her lips and ventured somewhere else.
The bathroom was silent except for the sound of their kisses.
Li Qin Yao yelped when he lifted her body. Her body shivered when he placed her on top of the marble sink counter.
Zhang Yu Han broke off from his kisses and tilted his head up to look at his wife. Because she was sitting on top of the counter, it helped to add a bit more height to her. Silently, he watched her and waited for her next move.
Shyly, Li Qin Yao tilted her gaze down to avoid his piercing gaze. However, her eyes then met his torso and began to move everywhere else.
Her gaze wandered from his chiseled abdomen and soon move to his strong arms and her gaze continued to go lower and lower.
Seeing this sight before her, Li Qin Yao felt her face reddened and her body started to feel a bit feverish. But no matter what, she just could not look away.
There are billions of people out there but this man chose to marry her.
This man… he belonged to her.
As this thought went through her mind, Li Qin Yao could feel herself slowly going crazy over him. Her eyes darkened with dėsɨrė.
She then raised her eyes to meet with him again. Her hand rested on his cheek as she leaned in to kiss him.
When their lips met again, Zhang Yu Han obediently let her take control. The corner of his lips tilted up into a small smile as he enjoyed her domineering kiss.
