Chapter 1300 - His Gem
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In reality, as Yun Bixue stirred in bed, Xie Limo had already woken up, and he had not expected his wife to behave in that manner.
He opened his eyes slightly and peeked at Yun Bixue. The corners of his lips curved up, and he asked, "What did you do while I was sleeping?"
Seeing that she had completely recovered, unlike last night, Xie Limo finally felt relieved.
Yun Bixue didn't expect Xie Limo to wake up. She hurriedly shook her head and said, "Nothing. I was just looking at you."
She would never admit that she was crazily in love with him as she watched him. She especially liked looking at him and couldn't resist kissing him.
Xie Limo's brows twitched, and an intoxicating glint flashed across his eyes. "Really? Was I imagining things?"
Yun Bixue nodded hastily. "You must have been dreaming."
Xie Limo gently flipped over. Supporting his head with one hand, he looked at Yun Bixue as an intoxicating glint flashed across his eyes.
"Xue, you don't dare to look me in the eye every time you lie."
To prove that she hadn't been lying, Yun Bixue raised her head and said, "Who said so?"
After speaking, Yun Bixue desperately wanted to bite her tongue off. What did she just say? She had simply been exposing herself.
Yun Bixue hurriedly buried her head in Xie Limo's chest and traced circles on him. "You can't laugh at me."
As Xie Limo caressed Yun Bixue's head, the glint in his eyes grew brighter. He smiled, and his chest reverberated gently, as though he was trying to contain his laughter.
"Xue, you're my darling. Did you know that?"
Those words sounded so sweet that they made Yun Bixue's head quiver. Her eyes turned into small crescents as she smiled. Her heart was swelling with sweetness.
She had always known that he treated her as a gem, but didn't say it out loud. She replied shyly, "How would I have known if you didn't tell me?"
Xie Limo caressed Yun Bixue's head lovingly. He wanted to give her all the wonderful things in the world and pamper her.
In the past, he wasn't good with words. He would do what he felt like doing, but he wasn't good at expressing his feelings.
As time passed, he realized that certain things didn't need to be verbalized intentionally. However, there were times that he would just voice them out without noticing it.
Xie Limo lowered his head and whispered into Yun Bixue's ear, "I'll tell you in the future."
Yun Bixue leaned into Xie Limo's chest and listened to his consistent heartbeats. Each thump sounded in her ears, and it made her heart feel exceptionally grounded and safe.
He had given her a home, and she could still feel the warmth and care that he had offered her last night. She embraced him tightly and said, "You can only say those words to me."
Xie Limo chuckled softly and continued caressing her hair.
She was his wife, his lover. He was only helplessly in love with her, and not anyone else.
After a while, Xie Limo seemed to have thought of something. The expression on his face changed as his gaze turned rather dark.
Yun Bixue raised her head and saw the look in Xie Limo's eyes. She gently reached out her hand and touched around his eyes. "Is something worrying you?"
"It's nothing." Xie Limo didn't want Yun Bixue to worry too. Her behavior yesterday had indeed frightened him.
Even if Xie Limo didn't explain himself, Yun Bixue could tell what he was thinking. "Is it about what happened yesterday? Who are those people smuggling ammunition?"
An exquisite yet icy glint flashed across Xie Limo's eyes before he replied, "I suspect that the Jiang family is involved. The reason why I temporarily released the father and daughter was because of this too."
