Chapter 277: Chapter 202: To Want People or Hearts_2

"Of course, marrying you, I don’t feel wronged at all. I can see the way you care for me, and I’m really touched. I also believe that, given time, we will definitely develop feelings for each other."

But now, I... I really have some resistance to doing ’that’ with you. I feel that it should only be done between people who deeply love each other."

After speaking, Chuxia unconsciously shrank her shoulders, bracing herself for Zhou Mikang’s storm, knowing she spoke with guilt. The marriage initially had some forced elements, but its development was fair.

The conditions she set, he had agreed to and fulfilled them all. Now, her saying all this was simply a one-sided breach of contract!

If possible, she didn’t want to do this. Just now, she had even been attempting to mentally prepare herself, but when it came down to it, she backed out again.

To her, sex without love was indeed... no different from animals."

"You... don’t like me at all?" Zhou Mikang’s eyes clearly showed signs of hurt. He was a proud man and being said so by his young wife hit him hard.

After a long silence, Chuxia finally said, "I don’t dislike you."

Zhou Mikang stared straight at her, "Your answer clearly tells me, you don’t dislike me, but you don’t like me either, right?"

"Do you like me?" Chuxia retorted.

Zhou Mikang nodded without hesitation, "I do."

His certain answer made Chuxia freeze.

"I’m very sure, I like you," Zhou Mikang continued, "Originally, I thought I only decided to marry you because I was tired of hearing all those nagging.

Even when I asked you to marry me, I said, ’You give me what I want, I give you what you want,’ it was a very fair trade.

But now I am very clear, I was wrong, I’m not a person who can treat marriage as a transaction!

If I hadn’t truly accepted you from the bottom of my heart, I would never have wanted to marry you. So, Lin Chuxia, I am very sure, I love you.

Don’t ask me what I love about you because even I can’t clearly tell what attracted me to you, but my deepest feelings tell me that I do like you."

In any case, the current reality is that I have fallen for you. I want not just you but also your heart! I can wait, but remember, you will only be mine in this lifetime!"

Chuxia looked at him somewhat uncertainly, "What do you mean?"

"I will wait until the day you fall in love with me, but, I hope it won’t be too long."

In an instant, Chuxia felt her eyes well up, her heart slightly sour, and as though something was stuck in her throat, she couldn’t make a sound.

Was this what feeling deeply moved felt like?

Zhou Mikang carefully pulled out their marriage certificate from her hand, "I treasure it a lot, because it’s a testament to our relationship.

I thought you treasured it as much as I did, but your actions just now suggest that you might be a bit curious about it, but definitely don’t treasure it, it may even be a burden to you.

I never force women, when one day, you truly wish to be my wife from your heart and treasure it as much as I do, that will be the moment we truly become husband and wife."

Getting out of bed, he put the marriage certificate back in the drawer, carefully smoothed it over, returned to bed, Zhou Mikang patted the wide-eyed, stunned Chuxia, "Let’s sleep, I am a gentleman, you can rest assured."

After hesitating, he pulled back the covers and lay down next to her. Inside, however, he was far from as calm as he appeared.

He was never a fool; the initial shyness was just because he had never faced a woman in that way before. Once he calmed down, he saw many things clearly.

She was afraid of him, so, when he stepped out of the bathroom, she deliberately acted indifferent and loudly scolded him, simply trying to force him to change into pajamas.

When he approached her, she instantly revealed her true fears.

The way she fretfully but staunchly tried to maintain her composure moved him deeply; he knew that if he forced her, she might cry and fuss, but she couldn’t blame him, after all, she was his wife.

The moment the marriage certificate was torn, he was fully awakened. If loved, that paper was sacred; if not, it was just a piece of paper!She was already his wife. Claiming her body, he could insist, but winning her heart was absolutely not something to be coerced. In that moment, his proud heart helped him make a new choice.

Seeing her lie stiff and motionless, barely daring to breathe loudly, he found it both frustrating and amusing, eventually, he stretched his arm and forcefully pulled her into his embrace.

Chuxia didn’t struggle; she believed him to be a man of his word. Since he had already promised, he would definitely not force her.

Moreover, his actions just now truly moved her. She too lay rigidly and reflected; her final conclusion was that she didn’t utterly dislike him after all.

So now, being forcefully held in his arms, she didn’t resist much. She just couldn’t accept jumping to the final step without emotional buildup; a gradual progression was what made her more comfortable.

"That..." Hesitating, Chuxia finally spoke, "Zhou Mikang, let’s start with dating."

Zhou Mikang nodded without hesitation: "Okay."

"Do you know how to date?"

Zhou Mikang: "..." Did he look like a fool...? (To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it, and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
