Chapter 34: Wife, You’re Too Cute When You Blush
The golden morning sun filtered through the gauzy curtains, casting a warm glow over the private hospital room. Around nine o'clock, Wu Mei blinked awake, her long lashes fluttering before her eyes adjusted to the light. She slowly turned her head to see Qin Yangzhou already half-awake, his hand protectively around her waist.
"Morning," she murmured softly.
He smiled, brushing a kiss on her forehead. "Morning, my love."
Shortly after, the doctor came in and did a quick checkup. "Her vitals are stable, and she seems much better. She can go home today, but remember, Mr. Qin—she must avoid stress, eat healthy, and get plenty of rest."
Qin Yangzhou nodded seriously. "I'll make sure of that."
By ten, they were in the car on their way home. As the gates of the villa opened, Wu Mei rested her head on Qin Yangzhou's shoulder, still feeling a bit tired but much more at ease.
When they arrived, Qin Yangzhou got out quickly and walked around the car to carry Wu Mei in his arms like a princess. "Hey—I can walk," she murmured, blushing.
"I know. But I want to carry you." He grinned and carried her straight into the kitchen, setting her down gently on a cushioned chair. "Wait here, wife. I'll make you something to eat."
"But I can—"
He pressed a finger gently against her lips. "Please. Let me cook for you today."
Wu Mei sighed and smiled. "Fine. I'll watch you, then."
Qin Yangzhou turned to the sink to wash his hands. As he did, he noticed her eyes following him. He smirked, slowly unbuttoning his shirt and taking it off, tossing it onto a nearby chair before tying an apron around his waist. His sculpted chest and abs were now completely exposed.
Wu Mei quickly looked away, her cheeks flushing a soft pink, but she couldn't help sneaking glances now and then.
Catching her red-handed, Qin Yangzhou dried his hands and strolled over to her. He leaned down, took her hand, and placed it flat on his chest. "You always admire my face... but I have other beautiful parts too, wife."
"You—you pervert!" she stammered, trying to pull her hand away, but he held it there a moment longer, eyes dark with playful mischief.
She tried to stand up in protest, but he scooped her up and sat her back down with a soft laugh. "Stay. Be good."
A few minutes later, the smell of stir-fried vegetables and steamed dumplings filled the kitchen. He placed a beautifully plated meal on the table and said, "The meal is ready, my lovely wife."
Wu Mei's eyes widened. "Wow... it looks delicious."
As they ate together, Wu Mei let out a small hiccup. She quickly covered her mouth, embarrassed.
Qin Yangzhou chuckled. "You even hiccup cutely."
"Don't make fun of me," she muttered.
After breakfast, he lifted her again and carried her to the bedroom. "You're spoiling me too much," she whispered.
"I plan to spoil you every day," he said, placing her gently on the bed.
He removed his apron and let it fall to the floor. Wu Mei looked at him with suspicion. "You... what do you want to do now?"
He leaned closer, mischief dancing in his eyes. "What do you think I want to do?"
Blushing hard, Wu Mei grabbed the blanket and wrapped herself in it like a cocoon. "I'm sleepy. I need to rest."
Qin Yangzhou chuckled and lay beside her, pulling her gently into his arms. "Then sleep, wife. I'll be here when you wake up."
An hour later, Wu Mei stirred awake. The room was quiet, the light now more golden and gentle. She turned slightly and saw Qin Yangzhou asleep beside her, his breathing slow and even.
Unable to resist, Wu Mei slowly reached out her finger and traced it across his chest, down to the hard lines of his abs. His skin was warm under her touch.
Without opening his eyes, Qin Yangzhou caught her wrist and brought it to his lips. He kissed it lightly and opened one eye, smirking. "My wife wants to play with me?"
Wu Mei's eyes widened, and she tried to pull her hand back. "I—I wasn't—"
He rolled over, pinning her gently under him, his lips hovering over hers. "You know... it's dangerous to tease your husband while he's sleeping."
"I wasn't teasing you! I just... happened to be curious."
He kissed the corner of her lips. "Curious about my abs?"
"No!" she denied quickly, but the pink on her cheeks betrayed her.
"Then what were you touching?" he asked, pretending to look serious.
"You—you villain!" she whispered.
Qin Yangzhou chuckled and kissed her jaw, then her neck. "I'm not a villain. I'm your husband. And I think my wife secretly enjoys teasing me back."
"I don't!" she squeaked, but her arms instinctively wrapped around his neck.
He teased her again, nibbling her earlobe and whispering, "Admit it. You like it."
"I... I don't know what you're talking about," she mumbled, trying to hide her face in his shoulder.
"You're so shy," he murmured. "But you're mine. All mine."
She peeked up at him. "Then stop teasing me..."
He smiled sweetly. "I will. But only after one more kiss."
And with that, he captured her lips in a soft, lingering kiss, pouring all his love and amusement into it.
When they finally broke apart, Wu Mei was breathless, her cheeks even redder.
"Let's rest for a while," Qin Yangzhou said, pulling the blanket over them both.
She nodded, her heart thumping wildly. As she curled into his chest, she whispered, "Thank you for loving me."
He kissed the top of her head. "Always".
