Tang Hongbo raised his head to look at Chen Xi. Seeing her serious expression, his eyes flashed with a dazzling light.
Tang Hongbo couldn't help but reach out and hug her tightly. This girl, how could he not love her?
His weakness was also his armor. As long as she was here, he would not be afraid of anything. Nothing would hinder him.
Furthermore, she had already confessed her identity, so he no longer needed to worry about her.
"Let me go, are you trying to strangle me?" Chen Xi said as she gasped for breath.
Tang Hongbo was suddenly startled and lost his composure. He couldn't help but let go of her as he nervously asked.
"Sorry, I was too excited. Are you alright?" Tang Hongbo looked at her nervously.
Seeing his nervous face, Chen Xi could not help but not know whether to laugh or cry.
"I'm fine. Actually, you don't have to be so careful with me. You weren't like this before." Chen Xi looked at him and said gently.
Tang Hongbo could not help but shake his head and laugh. That's right, the him that he was facing now was not the same person who was so high-spirited in the past, when would he ever lose his composure like this? When would he be worried that she would suddenly disappear? He was afraid that she would be injured, afraid of all of her uneasy emotions …
The current him, when faced with her becoming even the slightest bit cautious, would still be worried about her safety.
He also had an uneasy feeling. He was always tense and would not dare to sleep at night, because he was afraid that this would be a dream. Just like before, when he woke up and realized that everything was just a dream, she didn't come back, and because of her, he was no longer like himself.
When did he become like this?
Probably from the day she left, he thought.
Tang Hongbo rubbed the top of her hair and said with deep emotion.
"In the past, Tang Hongbo had already died with Duan Wenzhuo. Now, Tang Hongbo is the one who loves Chen Xi dearly."
Chen Xi's eyes immediately filled with dense smoke, she felt that in this world, finding a man who was willing to change for your change was truly a blessing that you had cultivated for three lifetimes.
So what else was she going to do? What else was there to complain about?
What he said was right, the former Duan Wenzhuo had already died, the present her was Chen Xi, a girl that had nothing to do with the former Duan Wenzhuo.
"Thank you, and be willing to believe me. Thank you for loving me all this time." Chen Xi held his hand and said softly.
"I want to thank you. Thank you for coming back to me. Thank you for believing me." Tang Hongbo gazed at her with deep emotions and passion.
If love could be shared, she would not hesitate to split half of Tang Hongbo's love for her with Duan Wenyu. But love had always been selfish. Who would want to share her husband with someone else?
She was not one of the women from the Emperor's harem, but she also wouldn't share her husband with anyone. She also believed that Tang Hongbo would even more so, wouldn't leave a woman alone, marrying into his family. Love was all selfish, no matter if it was a man or a woman, all treatment of love was the same, so Duan Wenyu, please forgive her.
Duan Wenyu, who had once given her warmth, if you had been a little more kind, if you had been more patient, she would have definitely returned your love to you. But you were so impatient to chase me away.
Hence, from today onwards, she would never give up Tang Hongbo to anyone else, no matter who it was.
The warmth and emotions that Duan Wenyu had once given her had already been completely consumed by her. She no longer cared about them, so why was she still holding onto this pitiful and lamentable illusion that she couldn't get out in the past?
Chen Xi could not help but laugh bitterly in her heart, and it was only she who still felt that Duan Wenyu was actually kind-hearted. Every time she fought with him, she would feel sad in her heart.
Until now, she still did not want to believe that Duan Wenyu was no longer the Duan Wenyu she once was.
She couldn't help but laugh at her own incompetence in her heart.
Suddenly, Tang Hongbo entered the room alone, jolting her awake.
She reached out to push Tang Hongbo, who was pressing down on her body, and painfully grimaced.
"Lighten up, it's painful ~"
Chen Xi did not know when their positions had changed, but they were clearly talking in a serious manner?
Chen Xi was slightly embarrassed.
Tang Hongbo kissed her forehead, and raised both of Chen Xi's hands above her head with her ten fingers interlocked. Hearing Chen Xi's shouts of pain, she seemed to not hear her and straightened her back, entering even deeper, as if to punish her for her inattention just now.
"Ah, it hurts …" "You, be light ~" Chen Xi couldn't take it anymore.
Tang Hongbo's forehead was also covered in fine beads of sweat.
"Darling, how can you not focus at this time? "Relax, I'm in pain too …" Tang Hongbo said as he snuggled close to her ear.
His words seemed to carry a bewitching power, as he felt her relaxed, so he took the opportunity to sink into her body completely. Chen Xi's cry was drowned out by his hot and overbearing kiss.
"Abstinence for three years. Xi Xi, you must compensate me well tonight ~" Tang Hongbo lowered his head and placed his head into her ear, his warm and gentle, yet still carrying a sense of ridicule.
In the room with no lights on, Chen Xi's face quietly turned red. She didn't hear what he said after, because she was really too tired.
A night of passion had broken the barrier between lovers who had met again after three years, but what followed was even greater challenges and so on.
But just as Tang Hongbo had said, as long as they were by each other's side, nothing could stop them.
There was a rare ray of sunlight in the cold winter morning, shining through the gaps in the curtains into the large room.
Although the two of them did not wake up, both of them had a satisfied and happy smile on their faces.
When the man leisurely opened his eyes, he looked at the little girl who was still sleeping in his embrace before he contentedly kissed her forehead.
Wasn't this what he had always wanted to do and had never done before?
He hoped that every morning when he woke up, she would be by his side and he would be able to kiss her forehead.
He held back the urge to try again and slowly pulled the hard object out of her body. He knew that she was really too tired from last night and it was his fault for not touching her for so long. It was just that he couldn't help but desperately want her last night.
He tried his best to move as quietly as he could, afraid that the noise would wake her up. When he was done and prepared to go downstairs to let her sleep for a while, she slowly came back.
Chen Xi moved her arm a little and felt a pain all over her body.
"You're awake?" Tang Hongbo walked over, lowered his head and said gently.
Chen Xi looked at his refreshed face and his refreshed look, then thinking about her sore body that seemed to have been reassembled, she became extremely angry, and looked at him resentfully.
"Why is Madame looking at me like that?" Tang Hongbo laughed with unmatched magnificence.
Chen Xi struggled to sit up from the bed, and with a flip of the blanket, her face immediately turned green.
She was enduring this naked person, but what was going on with this azure and violet body?
No wonder she felt like she was going to break it.
She threw the quilt over her neck, and when she thought of the fierce, blushing scene last night, she immediately scolded him with a flushed face.
"Tang Hongbo, are you a human or not? Are you trying to kill me? Can you give me a reasonable explanation for the bruises and bruises on my body? " Chen Xi was both embarrassed and angry.
Tang Hongbo had a relaxed expression and pretended to be apologetic as he smiled.
"Madam, please don't be angry. It's all your husband's fault." Although Tang Hongbo apologized, he could not hear anything wrong with his tone.
"Tang Hongbo." Chen Xi hugged his blanket and glared at him.
Tang Hongbo knew that she was truly angry, so he stopped teasing her and asked gently.
"Is it hard? I'll carry you to the bathroom. "
Chen Xi felt that her body was sticky. Although it was winter, the room was always warm, so it would be strange if she felt uncomfortable.
"No need, I'll do it myself!" Before Chen Xi could finish speaking, he was carried up along with the blanket.
"I already told you that I will go by myself." Chen Xi frowned in dissatisfaction.
Tang Hongbo raised his eyebrows.
"Are you sure you can get out of bed and walk?" These near ambiguous words caused Chen Xi to shut her mouth completely.
After soaking in the hot bath, Chen Xi felt that she had come back to life.
Just like before, when Chen Xi went downstairs, Aunt Liu had already prepared breakfast. She suddenly felt that the warmth she hadn't felt in a long time had returned.
Chen Xi sneaked into the kitchen and saw the familiar back figure of the Aunt Liu. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and silver threads appeared on his temples.
The last time she came here, she still felt guilty because she couldn't reveal her identity to Aunt Liu for a long time. Now, she could finally meet her in broad daylight.
"Aunt Liu." Chen Xi called out gently from the kitchen door.
After the Aunt Liu heard this, he immediately turned around. The surprise that flashed past his eyes made Chen Xi smile.
"Aunt Liu, don't you recognize me?" Chen Xi smiled sweetly.
Aunt Liu was a little teary. Perhaps it was because of what happened last time that she was a little afraid to confirm.
"You are …?"
"My name is Madam."
