Chapter 998: Love Each Other To Their Heart’s Content
“I see it.”
Not only did Huo Yunshen see the shooting star, but he also knew that there was a rare Leonid meteor shower that appears once every hundred years tonight.
“Wow! There are a lot of shooting stars! It’s a meteor shower!”
Xu Xiyan discovered that there was not only one shooting star; a meteor shower gradually streaked across the sky. She jumped up from the ground in excitement.
Huo Yunshen stood up with her and they looked at the sky together. “You can make a wish now.”
Xu Xiyan quickly clasped her hands together and prayed solemnly, making a wish at the shooting stars.
She hoped that her family could be well and healthy every day, and the three of them would be happy together.
After Xu Xiyan was done with her wish, she cocked her head at Huo Yunshen and asked, “Dear, did you drag me out for the hike because you already knew that there would be a meteor shower in the beginning?
“Yeah. I wanted you to come out here and relax,” Huo Yunshen said, his eyes gentle.
Xu Xiyan spread out her arms, embracing nature. She took in a deep breath of the fresh air of the mountains. Her mind and body were relaxed.
It felt so good!
If every day could be romantic and peaceful like tonight, how great would it be?
She was not aware that Huo Yunshen had quietly walked away; he had gone behind and turned on a music player.
Gentle and romantic music flowed out quietly. Xu Xiyan heard the music and turned around to look. She saw countless stars shining behind Huo Yunshen.
He was deep in the shadows of the stars. His eyes were full of affection as he came towards her.
He stood in front of her and bowed like a gentleman. “My dear Princess Xixi, may I have a dance with you?”
“I would be honored, but, I’m not a princess!”
Xu Xiyan smiled, then put her hand in his palm.
“In my heart, you’re the most beautiful princess in the world. None can compare to you.”
The man’s gentle words of affection echoed in Xu Xiyan’s ear, making her heart bubble with sweetness.
The two embraced, their steps quickly coordinating as they began to dance to the music.
Waltz music is one of the most soothing kinds of music, and their steps were very slow. The two held each other as they danced slowly.
The starry sky was reflected in his bright eyes like a beautiful painting, and she had become the highlight that perfected the picture.
The night was romantic and the breeze gently blew.
They lost count of how many times they had danced. The man stared at her shiny and succulent lips. He couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss her.
His large hand scooped her close into his arms, and the two embraced each other tightly.
They were tightly bonded to each other by their love. The two eventually returned to their tent and spent a wonderful night together.
At dawn, Xu Xiyan woke up. She opened her eyes, lay her head on her husband’s chest and asked, “What are we going to do today?”
“Make love.”
“What?”
Xu Xiyan thought that she had heard it wrong. What did he say?
The man was silent as he began to express his idea through action.
To love each other to their heart’s content in the romantic night.
Huo Yunshen had planned to take Xu Xiyan to the mountains during the day, but Xu Xiyan had suddenly received a call from Peijing in the morning. They had no choice but to change their plans.
The phone call was from the Yunrui Nursing Home—they had told Xu Xiyan that her grandfather was dying.
After hearing the news, Xu Xiyan was very distraught. The couple immediately packed up and hurried back to Peijing together.
…
At the Yunrui Nursing Home.
After Xu Xiyan and Huo Yunshen arrived in Peijing, Huo Yunshen’s staff came to pick them up and drive them directly to the nursing home.
In the hospital ward, Xu Xiyan saw her dying grandfather.
The life of the elderly man had come to an end and he was at death’s door. He was hanging onto his last breaths because he wanted to see Xu Xiyan one last time.
“Grandpa!”
