Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

514 A devoted and loving husband

Xu Zifan entered the room and went ahead. Lin Jie saw him and she left after bowing to him. The door got closed and he turned his head to look at Jingfei.

“You took time,” Jingfei said and rose to her feet. She took a step closer to Xu Zifan and told him that she would remove the overcoat.

Xu Zifan hummed. He stayed still at his place while Jingfei brought her hands to the overcoat’s button. She gently unbuttoned them and pushed the overcoat down his arm. Once it was out, she placed it over the stand which looked like a hanger.

She was ready to remove the second clothing when Xu Zifan stopped her. “I will do it,” He said.

“Why would you do that? Let your wife do it,” Jingfei stated and she removed the sash around his waist first. The upper robe loosened and she opened the knot on it.

She looked into his eyes and asked him if he wanted to sleep on the left side or the right one.

“What about you?” He asked. “Sleep towards the wall side,” He then asserted.

“Okay.” Jingfei turned and went to the bed. She lay on it and waited for Xu Zifan to get in. When he did, she slightly raise her body to cover him with the blanket.

Her face covered the side of her face. While she tried to put the blanket on Xu Zifan’s left side to cover him well. She stopped when she felt Xu Zifan’s fingers on her hair and she tilted her head.

.....

He tucked them behind her ear and gazed into her eyes. His thumb caressed her cheek. Jingfei’s heart skipped a beat and her eyelids flickered.

“Good night,” Xu Zifan said and lowered his hand. He turned her back to her while Jingfei laid beside him. She had her eyes fixated on his back while she continued to think about how to get close to him.

“Xu Zifan,” Jingfei called his name.

“Hmm?”

“Can you not sleep with your face toward me?” She asked.

Xu Zifan didn’t respond and a few seconds later, he turned to her. Their eyes met and Jingfei smiled at him. Her hand went to his chest which perplexed him.

“Your heart is also beating wildly like mine,” She said while keeping her gaze on him.

“Is it?” He asked.

“Yes. Don’t you feel it?” She arched her left eyebrow.

“I do feel my heartbeat. I asked about yours,” Xu Zifan answered. “I am not the man you love, so it’s impossible that your heart can flutter for me,” he opined.

“You really know nothing,” Jingfei said. She looked displeased with his statement. “I have no one in my heart except my husband. Why would I love the other man? I don’t even want to talk about them,” she muttered while getting irked.

“Now you behave like Princess Jingfei,” Xu Zifan remarked and smiled.

“I am not a princess anymore,” Jingfei reminded him.

“I know. However, your tone was no different from your earlier self. You still hold the power to intimidate anyone,” Xu Zifan stated.

“Really?” Jingfei wanted to confirm.

“Yes,” an instant reply came from Xu Zifan.

Jingfei moved a little close to him and asked, “Do I intimidate you?”

Her breath fanned his lips and he gulped. He didn’t know in what context she asked him.

“Answer, Xu Zifan,” Jingfei said.

“I was never intimidated by you,” Xu Zifan replied. The truth he spoke which Jingfei wanted to hear. She smiled at him and because of the joy, she kissed him.

Xu Zifan was stunned and stopped blinking. This was the second time, he got a kiss from her. Her smile faded from her lips when she saw the surprised expression on Xu Zifan’s face.

“Ahh, I did that in happiness,” Jingfei stated. She moved a little away when Xu Zifan grabbed her arm and drew her in his direction.

He looked into her eyes with a deep feeling of affection and then lowered them to her lips.

“Xu Zifan, what happened?” Jingfei inquired.

“If I kiss you now, will it lock our feelings for each other?” He asked and peered into her eyes.

“Yes,” Jingfei replied immediately and her fingers curled. He brought his hand to her jaw and connected his lips with hers. Jingfei closed her eyes and kissed him back. Her hand moved to her back as she held the fabric of his robe.

When they ran out of breath, they slowly pulled away.

Jingfei kept her eyes down for a while before looking at him again. She moved her hand up to his nape. “Xu Zifan, let’s be a happy husband and wife. My heart, my body, and my soul will always be devoted to you. You saved my dignity, and my life on my marriage day. How can I not give my heart to you? You are more than perfect and I love this fact that I married you.”

Jingfei confessed her true feelings for Xu Zifan. Despite her huge mistakes, Xu Zifan accepted her and readily married her. He never disrespected her neither he made use of her princess’ status.

Xu Zifan hugged her and told her not to remember her past self. “I will be a good husband to you.” His words were limited but his gestures, and his acts were more than enough to tell how affectionate he was. From the day, they both got married, Jingfei tried every way to sway his heart, to make him feel her presence and also make her happy.

She understood him and even though he didn’t speak much about his condition, she empathized with him. He was lonely and frustrated but Jingfei gave him the perfect company, a shoulder on which he was ready to lean.

“Jingfei, I will be a devoted and loving husband to you,” he admitted and closed his eyes. He was satisfied to have her in his life. He was happier than before and his heart was at peace too.
