My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses

"It’s a beautiful day." Xue Lin commented as she looked at the sky. Right now, they are in the park near their hotel. She relaxed her body and started to process what happened in hours. She met an acquaintance she barely knew and signed an oral contract with him and they got married.

She praised herself in her mind, ’I’m so brave.’ But she also knows, if things go wrong, it will be her responsibility to clean it up. She clenched her fists. ’Nothing will go wrong. God is with me. I can do this.’

It was at three o’clock. A soft breeze blew and the green leaves fluttered. There were rustling sounds everywhere. The sunlight peeked through the leaves. Light and shadow were playing hide and seek.

"It is a wonderful day. Nature must be blessing us." Ge Chen calmly stated. He was sitting on a wooden bench, right beside his newly wedded wife. However, there was a safe distance between them. He didn’t want to enter her personal space so soon and make her guard up again.

His gaze fell upon her and asked, "Aren’t you hungry?"

Xue Lin looked at his way. "Not at all. Who will get hungry after eating all those pastries?"

"I’m surprised that you didn’t vomit after eating all that." He said truthfully.

Xue Lin didn’t mind his words. It wasn’t the first time she heard it. On the contrary, she gave him some words of wisdom, "Listen, Chen, sweet is the default food for a wounded heart. If you feel sad or hurt, eat sweets and it will make you happy. Look, after eating all those pastries we got married. It works as a good luck charm."

"I can’t relate sweets with marriage but sweet is a default food, that’s the first time I heard something like that." His grey eyes narrowed as he smiled. "But you are right. Sweets make people happy."

Xue Lin averted her gaze. His warm gaze was making her nervous. She changed the subject. "Are you hungry? It’s past lunchtime. We haven’t had anything."

"I’m not hungry. Let’s have a feast tonight. I have a friend who is a chef. I told him to manage everything for us."

Xue Lin’s eyes sparkled. "That would be amazing. So, when will we go?" She was always ready for the food.

Ge Chen noticed her reaction. He felt amused. "We have time. We can rest for three hours. Do you want to take rest?"

’I want to change into casual clothes though it’s not bad wearing a wedding gown...’ She pondered about it. "I’ll head back to my room. Where are you staying?"

Ge Chen’s calm grey eyes met her grey eyes. "Will you let me stay with you if I say I have nowhere to go?" His eyes twinkled.

Xue Lin’s body tensed up. She narrowed her eyes. "Are you a predator in disguise?"

Ge Chen looked away. "It was a joke. You don’t have to guard yourself around me." He was afraid that he might lose control if he kept looking at her attractive eyes.

Her answer was straightforward. "I’ll decide when I understand you completely."

Ge Chen’s lips curved up. "Aren’t we newlyweds? Should we argue the day we married?" He turned to face her.

She blinked and looked innocent. "Are we arguing? I thought it was a friendly conversation."

It made him feel like he was the culprit and she was the victim. He thought to himself, ’She is dangerous.’ He squinted his clear grey eyes. "Is this how you talk to your friends? I’m jealous of them."

"...You don’t have to..." Xue Lin didn’t know what to say. She never talked to her friends like that. Truthfully, she was almost arguing with him.

He quietly stated, "So, we are starting our relationship as a friend."

Xue Lin shook her head. "Not quite. Let’s start as acquaintances. You said that you would give me time."

Ge Chen nodded. "I did and I’ll keep my promise. Let’s take our time and slowly adapt ourselves."

"Sounds good. So, you have a place to stay..." She dragged the sentence in the end.

He smiled. "Yes, I’m currently living in a hotel. I won’t barge into your room."

Xue Lin suddenly remembered something and asked him, "Will we go to B City soon?"

Ge Chen denied. "No, we have to go to Beijing first."

She tilted her head. "Why there?" She thought that she would go to B City tomorrow because there’s nothing to do here. She didn’t need her family’s permission or what-so-ever. She didn’t want to face them anymore. But she didn’t think that Ge Chen had something else in his mind.

He said, "We have to tell my family that we are married. They might become furious but that’s the ending of our miseries." He gazed deeply at her. "Lin, next time you talk to someone, don’t hold back. Speak your mind and teach them a good lesson."

"That makes sense." Xue Lin nodded. "So, you are giving me freedom."

"I’m giving you absolute freedom." His eyes were steady. He wasn’t lying.

"I might run away." She said looking straightly at his eyes.

"I’ll wait for you." He gave her a mysterious smile.

Xue Lin suddenly felt lightheaded. Her heart was filled with the warmth she never felt before.
