Chapter 2385: I cannot wait.
The woman also took a seat next to the bed.
“How’s dad?” he asked.
“The doctor said that his condition has stabilized, but he can’t take food or drink water still. He must be maintained on the drip for the time being.” She paused for a bit before inquiring after him. “How’s business? Is everything going well?”
“Yes. All’s well and good.” He reached out and tucked a fringe behind her ear lovingly. “Everything’s going as planned.”
She smiled in acknowledgement, knowing that her man was truly exceptional and capable. He would not allow himself to fail. Whatever he had set his mind to do, he would give his all. Thus, she was never worried about him.
He smiled in return, tugged her in his embrace, and told her gently, “I did promise to give you a good life.”
Visibly touched, she hugged his waist tightly and replied, “Yes, I know.”
“I made arrangements for you to try the wedding gowns after this busy period.”
She was startled. “Wedding gowns?”
“Why? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about this?” He stroked her nose bridge teasingly. “I’m referring to the wedding gowns to be worn for our matrimonial shoot!”
“Oh, that’s right!” The woman slapped her head in consternation. “I’ve been so busy recently this matter completely escaped my mind!”
He ruffled her hair indulgently. This was an action he loved to do on her.
It was said that the way a man truly spoiled his woman was not by giving her a princess treatment but by indulging her as a daughter, instead.
She slapped his hand away. “Hey, you’re messing up my hair!”
“Your pretty image is long gone, anyway.”
“Hmph!” She snorted at him a couple of times only to earn his off-handed remark. “You snort like a little piggy.”
She was pretty startled to hear this from him. This was a common term of endearment used between couples when they flirted with each other. She would not have imagined him, a man who was so aloof and removed from the public, to be capable of using a mainstream phrase!
“Who said so? You’re the one who’s a piggy!”
“I don’t know how to snort like a pig.”
“If I am a piggy, then what about you? Hmph! I say: You must be a savage who lets no one off, not even a piggy!”
Just as she finished with her rebuff, the man suddenly wrapped his hands around her nape and locked his lips with hers passionately.
The unexpected kiss stole her breath away.
His kissing was gentle yet harried. After the beautiful kiss, he pressed against her forehead and uttered softly, “Little fool, you have no idea how much I wish to see you in a wedding gown.”
Her heart skipped a beat when she heard his loving proclamation. Looking up, she stared right into his indulgent gaze and her heart raced even more.
‘I can’t wait to see you in a wedding gown.’
He had imagined this scene numerous times where she stood before him in her beautiful, pure wedding gown. He knew that the scorching passion inside him would soar at the sight!
“Is the wedding gown… ready?”
“Yes. I’ve already gotten three sets custom-made, including a few other pieces in several styles. When the time comes, I’ll take you to try them on directly.”
“Do you know that I’m actually feeling nervous about this whole thing?”
He was amused. “What’s there to be nervous about?”
