Zhang Yu Han saw the bashful look in his wife's eyes and suddenly felt a lump in his throat. After a moment, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm down.
Seeing the expression on her husband's face, Li Qin Yao stifled her smile. How can she not know how her words affected him? However, they were at a wedding reception and there was nothing she can do about it.
At this thought, Li Qin Yao turned to continue and enjoy the feast.
Actually, once she was married, Li Qin Yao was ready for the possibility to become a mother. However, she had wanted to let fate decide. After all, a baby would not appear in her stomach just because she wished for it.
But after spending time with Fan Yun Xi, the talk about her pregnancy suddenly gave a tug at her heart. Then, as she watched how Zhang Yu Han was patiently attending after that little boy, Li Qin Yao had this vision that Zhang Yu Han would be a good father.
Suddenly, she was looking forward to having a child with him. She was anticipating the little life in her belly that would belong to the two of them.
If they had a child together, would their baby look more like him or her?
As Li Qin Yao continued to think of their future child, the MC announced something, and soon, a handsome, familiar man appeared on the stage. It did not take Li Qin Yao for too long to recognize that man once the music started.
Her eyes widened when the singer started to sing.
Of course, the man was no other than the lead singer of TIME band that she had liked years ago. To think that Fan Yun Xi would invite him to sing at her wedding!
Because the man was singing a ballad song, his voice sounded deeper. However, as Li Qin Yao continued to listen to his voice for a while, she suddenly had this thought that the lead singer's voice was not as attractive as it was in the past. Li Qin Yao thought that her husband's voice was much more attractive than the singer.
But perhaps she was just partial towards Zhang Yu Han.
As everyone's gaze was on the singer on the stage, Zhang Yu Han took the chance to lean closer to her and whispered, "Qin Yao, do we have to stay here much longer?"
Li Qin Yao felt her ears tickled at hearing his hoarse voice.
The music around them was loud, but Li Qin Yao suddenly felt as if she could not hear anything else other than Zhang Yu Han's voice.
She turned around quickly and was surprised upon meeting his burning gaze. She had wanted to tell him that they have not yet met with the bride and groom. However, her stomach started to do that somersault and the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat.
The two of them were so close together as they stared into each other's eyes. Li Qin Yao was worried that others would see them and her friend would tease her later. However, no matter how much she wanted to look away, Li Qin Yao found that it was impossible to do so.
"Hmm?" Zhang Yu Han urged. His thumbs were massaging the back of her hand as he waited for her reply.
Li Qin Yao swallowed and forced herself to tilt her head down to avoid his gaze. She was afraid that if she stared into his eyes any longer, she would start to burn.
Zhang Yu Han held his breath and swallowed when his wife had looked away. Though he has been expecting that she would want to stay at her friend's special day, Zhang Yu Han could not help but be a bit disappointed.
Suddenly, Li Qin Yao leaned forward and whispered at his ear, "D-do you want to leave now?"
A flash of joy appeared in his eyes. Zhang Yu Han tightened his grip on her hand and smiled. "Un."
She could not wait to meet Fan Yun Xi and Mo Cheng Yi, but Li Qin Yao made a mental note to call her friend to apologize later. After telling Fu Rong that they have an emergency, Li Qin Yao grabbed her purse. While everyone else was focusing on the stage, the couple exited the hall.
The concierge helped to call a cab for them.
At this moment, Zhang Yu Han was slightly regretting that he had not booked to stay at the same hotel. Wouldn't it be convenient if they had stayed at the same place?
The cab appeared less than five minutes. The couple got on the cab and Zhang Yu Han quickly told the driver the destination. Though the driver was driving a little bit over the limit, Zhang Yu Han thought that it was still too slow.
Li Qin Yao lowered her gaze when she felt her husband's ċȧrėss around her waist. Suddenly, she did not know whether she wanted to laugh or cry at his impatience.
Fortunately, the distance between the hotel they stayed in and the hotel where the wedding was held was not that far. The cab pulled over at the entrance for less than ten minutes and both Zhang Yu Han and Li Qin Yao get off the cab.
Zhang Yu Han dragged her to the elevator and closed his eyes in frustration as he waited for the elevator to arrive.
The waiting was slowly tormenting him.
When the elevator arrived, Zhang Yu Han heaved a sigh with relief upon finding that the elevator was empty. The two of them quickly entered and Zhang Yu Han pushed at the buŧŧons impatiently. Once the door was closed, he turned to his wife and pulled her closer to him.
"There's CCTV in this elevator," Li Qin Yao pointed out. Her hands rested on his ċhėst as she tried to push him away.
Zhang Yu Han heaved loudly. Then, he lowered his head and whispered, "Then, you shouldn't be tempting me."
Li Qin Yao looked at him with her aggrieved eyes. "What did I do?"
His lips curled into a lopsided smile. "Qin Yao, how can I control myself when you told me that you wanted to have my child? Wasn't that the same as tempting me?"
Li Qin Yao bit at her lips. Suddenly, she had the feeling that she was not going to get any sleep that night.
The elevator dinged and Li Qin Yao felt her heart raced faster. The couple held their hands tightly as they walked over to their room. She watched Zhang Yu Han waved the key card at the door and her anxiety intensified. Then, Zhang Yu Han yanked the door open and pulled her in. Just as the door closed behind them, Li Qin Yao felt his hands cupping at her cheeks, her back colliding against the door and his lips descended upon hers.
