I alone am the Honoured One!-Chapter 759: After the rain [2]

Zhao Tian exhaled softly and hugged her closer "Are you angry that I hid it from you and married you without saying anything about it?"

Hearing this, she shook her head "No, the marriage we did was arranged by my foolish father."

She chuckled softly "I never cared about you then... so even if you have told me, I would have never cared about it."

She lifted her head to look into his eyes as she spoke "But now..."

Raising her hand, she gently caressed his cheek "But, now I do care, husband..."

She looked away for a brief moment before continuing, "When we first married, I didn't think much about it. It was just another duty forced upon me… something my father decided for me. But over time, you…"

She trailed off, as if unsure how to put her feelings into words.

"You didn't force me to be your obedient wife.. and took your time with me, trying to get close to me."

"But.. i was the one constantly pushing you because I was scared of my curse, forgive me for that rude behavior."

With a chuckle, he leaned forward and kissed her forehead "Don't worry about it. I find that part cute about you..."

"That cold and indifferent face of yours looked so adorable."

Hearing this, a small blush took over her cheeks and she gently hit his chest "Don't say that, it's embarrassing, Husband."

Zhao Tian just chuckled "Why not? I want to talk about... how beautiful and cute my wife is...."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear...

She closed her eyes for a moment, feeling his touch "That day, when you killed Zhou Shan... and declared me as your wife, I decided to become your wife."

"I didn't know what was happening to you before you came to rescue me..."

"But I saw the exhaustion in your eyes and saw you forcing yourself to fight despite the pain."

"Seeing you fight so hard for me made my heart flutter."

"I treated you coldly and pushed you away... but despite that, you came for me.. My husband came to rescue me."

She opened her eyes, looking at him "How could I not fall for such a man?"

Zhao Tian's gaze softened upon hearing this as he continued caressing her cheek.

"You are my husband," she continued...

"And I… I am yours. Not because of an arranged marriage or obligation, but because I choose to be."

A slow smile spread across Zhao Tian's lips.

There was something intoxicating about hearing those words from her, knowing that she had finally opened her heart to him.

"You don't know how long I've wanted to hear that," he said softly.

She chuckled, as if a burden had been lifted from her chest.

"Then listen well, because I won't say it again," she teased.

Zhao Tian smiled and brought his lips closer to hers "Oh? I'll just have to make you say it again, then."

She just giggled and her gaze slowly drifted to his lips "Husband... can I uh.. like.. Can I kiss you on the lips?"

She wasn't the type to demand love or beg for affection.

But right now, she allowed herself to be honest.

Zhao Tian let out a chuckle and spoke "Hanyue, you don't need to ask permission for that."

She smiled and hesitantly leaned closer and her eyes flickered up to meet his one last time, seeking silent permission.

Then, finally, her lips pressed softly against his.

Zhou Hanyue's fingers curled against his chest, her entire body warming at the sensation.

Zhao Tian remained still, letting her take her time, letting her set the pace.

A few seconds passed before she pulled away and she lowered her gaze, feeling a mix of embarrassment and exhilaration. "That was…"

"Not nearly enough," Zhao Tian finished for her.

Before she could respond, he tilted her chin upward, guiding her lips back to his.

This time, he took the lead and his lips moved against hers with more passion, deepening the kiss as his arms encircled her waist.

Zhou Hanyue let out a soft sound of surprise but didn't pull away.

Instead, she melted into him, allowing him to teach her what a true kiss felt like.

Her fingers found their way to his shoulders, gripping onto him for support as the kiss grew more intense.

Zhao Tian took his time savoring her, tasting the sweetness of her lips and the warmth of her breath mingling with his.

When they finally parted, Zhou Hanyue was breathless, and her cheeks were flushed with a deep shade of red.

She touched her lips with her fingertips "You're… unfair."

Zhao Tian chuckled, brushing his thumb over her lower lip. "You asked for a kiss. I simply made sure you got a proper one."

She just smiled and leaned onto his shoulder "Shameless Husband..."

They stood like that for a while, wrapped in each other's warmth as the rain outside continued its gentle drizzle.

After a long moment, Zhou Hanyue spoke again, "I don't know what the future holds, Husband."

"But if there ever comes a time when you grow tired of me… if your heart drifts elsewhere…"

Zhao Tian pulled away slightly, forcing her to look up at him.

His eyes narrowed, displeased by her words "Don't ever say that again."

Zhou Hanyue blinked, startled by his intensity.

Zhao Tian exhaled, shaking his head before speaking again. "I don't take vows lightly, Hanyue. If I wanted to leave you, I would have let you go a long time ago."

He interwined his fingers with hers "I don't care how many women are in my life... you will always have your place. No one can take that from you. I will never get tired of you..."

Zhou Hanyue stared at him for a long moment before finally smiling.

A small, genuine smile...

"Then, my dear husband," she said softly, squeezing his hand, "I suppose you're stuck with me."

Zhao Tian chuckled, leaning down to press a kiss to her forehead. "That's exactly how I want it to be."

She raised her hand, placing a finger on his lip "Then, you have to prove it..."

Hm? Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow "Prove it?"

Giggling, she took a step back and slowly made her way toward her room.

A playful smile curved her lips as her delicate fingers reached for the sash of her robe.

With a graceful tug, the fabric loosened, slipping from her shoulders and pooled at her feet.

She then reached for her underwear and threw it aside...

Eh? Zhao Tian blinked his eyes in surprise.

By the time she reached the door, she was completely naked.

Pushing the door, she turned to look at him over her shoulder "Well, if you have many wives.. I guess I don't have to tell you what I want."

With that, she entered the room, and Zhao Tian shook his head helplessly before following her.

"This woman..."
