Chen Guanxue was once transmigrated as a concubine in her previous life, ascending to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort thr...
Chapter 49 Extra: Their Wives 1
"Dad, what era are we living in? You still have this kind of arranged marriage mentality?" Chen Guanxue lay on the sofa.
"Dad, what era are we living in? You still have this kind of arranged marriage stuff?" Chen Guanxue lay on the sofa, poked a piece of persimmon and put it in her mouth.
Their family, while not exactly all-powerful in Yanjing, is certainly wealthy and influential; why would they need her to arrange a marriage alliance?
“It’s not an arranged marriage!” Chen Feng retorted, then softened his voice, “It’s just to let you meet people, and if you like them, we’ll talk about other things.”
Chen Guanxue finished eating the persimmons unhurriedly, wiped her mouth, and nodded under his expectant gaze.
She's reached the point where she wants to be in a relationship.
But she's attracted to good looks, and there aren't many people in the local circle who catch her eye. The ones she does like are either married or too young.
The person her father mentioned lives in Beijing; he's 24 this year, four years older than her.
According to him, he is good-looking and has a great physique. He took over the family business as soon as he came of age, and his parents are loving and mentally healthy.
I saw her photo by chance a while ago and fell in love with her at first sight. I was afraid that suddenly showing up would be too abrupt for her, so I asked my elders to pass on the message and ask for her opinion.
Her father wouldn't cheat her, so this person is most likely a genuinely good person.
On the day we met, she wore a persimmon-yellow cheongsam embroidered with white chrysanthemums, paired with a lace shawl, and her hair was styled; she was exquisitely beautiful to the point of being somewhat flamboyant.
He's Private Kitchen is a restaurant she often eats and quite likes.
Be careful.
As the door was pushed open, a woman in white high heels stepped onto the bluestone, and the man in the chair slowly raised his head.
A well-fitting black suit hugged his body tightly, highlighting his broad shoulders and narrow waist. His wristwatch gleamed, and his almond-shaped eyes stood out among his deep features. When they met eyes, one could almost see the deep affection within them, but his downturned lips gave him a cold and aloof look.
He's someone who seems very ascetic.
Only after standing up did I realize how tall he was.
Chen Guanxue tilted her head slightly, and even though she was wearing high heels, her head only reached his chin.
Seemingly sensing her discomfort, the man shook her hand and then gestured for her to sit down.
"Hello, Miss Chen, I'm Chen Xi." The man pushed the menu towards her. "I was afraid you wouldn't like it, so I didn't order anything on my own. Please."
His words implied that he had already found out her preferences.
"Just order the one I usually order. Has Mr. Chen ordered yet?" Seeing the man nod, she added another dessert.
The waiter left the private room, and another document was pushed in front of her.
"Although Ms. Chen is willing to meet with me, it does not mean that we will continue to develop our relationship in the future. But I still want to make it clear to Ms. Chen that I have suffered from depersonalization disorder since childhood, which is commonly known as dual personality disorder."
Chen Guanxue paused as she opened the folder, then looked up at him.
Chen Xi carefully observed that, apart from surprise, there was no negative emotion such as disgust in her eyes.
“From the time I can remember, there have been two people living inside my body. My name is Chen Xi and his name is Chen Ye. We share each other’s memories, can sense each other’s emotions and thoughts, and have very similar personalities…” He paused here, “This is different from typical dual personality disorder, but that’s the truth, and doctors do not recommend eliminating one of the personalities.”
He spoke very slowly.
Chen Guanxue understood. If they were to date, it would be like dating two people, and the same would be true for marriage.
She asked, "Did you fall in love with me at first sight, or with him?"
I've seen plenty of sick people in this circle, but this is the first time I've seen someone so sick yet so normal.
“Yes, all of them.” Chen Xi’s lips curled up as she said this. “We all fell in love with you at first sight.”
Chen Guanxue clearly felt that the face gave people a different feeling in an instant, as if it were a different person.
"Chen Ye?" she asked hesitantly.
“Yes.” Chen Ye’s smile deepened. “I’m sorry for suddenly appearing in front of you, but I also really wanted to talk to you.”
If Chen Guanxue hadn't seen it with her own eyes and had the diagnosis in her hand, she probably would have thought he was acting.
The two personalities are indeed quite different; one gives off a cold and aloof vibe, while the other gives off a gentle and approachable vibe.
The way they speak is also somewhat different.
That's amazing.
She likes new experiences, so dating him would probably be very interesting.
Chen Guanxue wasn't stupid; the diagnosis report not only included their physical diagnoses but also their psychological ones.
Neither of them are violent individuals; both psychological diagnoses, when examined separately, indicate that they are in very good health.
Chen Guanxue ate a very magical meal.
Even though there was only one person sitting opposite her, the conversation was quite lively. They would take turns talking to her and answering her questions.
"I think I can try dating you guys." She didn't say anything definitive; it's just dating, and if it doesn't work out, we can just break up.
But the person on the other end was delighted and took out the gift they had prepared.
Two portions.
When Chen Guanxue returned, Chen Feng sat on the sofa and gave her a gossipy look.
"How about it?"
She smiled and said, "Not bad."
Her father seemed unaware of Chen Xi's situation.
"That?"
Chen Guanxue smiled, "Let's talk."
Back in my room, I opened the two gifts; they were two pairs of identical pearl earrings.
Upon seeing it, she smiled helplessly.
Because we have similar personalities, we wanted to give each other the same gift, but because we consider ourselves independent, we still chose to give each other one.
She sensed a naive persistence beneath the composed demeanor.
Of course, it was also childish of her to choose one earring from each of the two pairs and wear it.
She was intrigued by the relationship, and they took it seriously, starting to date officially the very next day.
The location was decided by Chen Xi, and Chen Ye was the one who picked her up.
"Private museums, less crowded, quiet."
They walked side by side, quietly admiring the ancient objects behind the glass, occasionally exchanging whispers.
The private museum is small; you can see it in an hour or two if you stroll around at your own pace.
The last item in the collection consists of two private seals, with a sample of the embossed version next to them.
The red inkpad creates shadows.
The two of them were stunned at first sight.
The reason is simple: the people on the two seals look too much like Chen Guanxue. One is an ancient person from hundreds of years ago, and the other is a modern person from hundreds of years later.
"Genes are truly amazing," Chen Ye murmured.
Chen Guanxue nodded in agreement.
That day, after leaving the museum, they went to a nearby restaurant for dinner. When they talked about the two small seals, they were quite interested and searched for them online. There wasn't much information online, so they inquired through special channels.
That person was one of Emperor Kangxi's concubines, but I don't know any more details.
“Speaking of which, your names are quite interesting. One is the ‘Xi’ from Kangxi, and the other is the ‘Ye’ from Xuan Ye.” Chen Guanxue sipped her coffee, unaware that the person opposite her stiffened slightly for a moment.
"Perhaps this is fate."
Chen Guanxue is still studying and will return to school after the holiday. Chen Xi also needs to return to Beijing to handle work.
"I really miss you." She hugged him, buried her face in his neck, and inhaled the faint sandalwood scent emanating from him.
"I also can't bear to leave you."
"I also can't bear to leave you."
Listening to them speak one by one, even though she was already used to it, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Let's get engaged during the Chinese New Year," she said earnestly.
Her response was a somewhat urgent kiss, almost suffocating her. After they parted, only her rapid breathing could be heard in the car. Just then, another person tried to get close to her, but she stopped him with her hand.
"etc……"
She regretted what she had just said.
They didn't distinguish between them so clearly when they dated before.
If kissing now requires each person to take their turn, what will happen in the future...?
The hesitation in Chen Guanxue's eyes was noticed, and an even more intense kiss came, making her dizzy and her fingers tightly gripping his clothes.
"You can't go back on your word."
"Otherwise we'll lose control."
She realized that she seemed to have offended someone very powerful.
I sensed it during our date; the two personalities, described as normal on the psychological diagnosis report, were actually somewhat paranoid.
They are possessive, so their things shouldn't be mixed together.
If you praise one personality trait and then praise the other, using the same words will make one of them unhappy, while not using the same words will only make them more jealous.
However, she found it very interesting.
She's willing to coax him!
After sending the person away, Chen Guanxue would stay at home for a few more days before going to school. Just then, her mother returned from her trip, and the way she looked at her became increasingly strange.
Chen Guanxue carried the flowers into the house, untied the bouquet, placed them in a vase, and adjusted the angle.
Li Tang coughed twice to get her attention, then touched her face awkwardly and said, "Nannan, aren't you about to get engaged to Chen Xi? How come there are still young men who don't know to avoid suspicion and send you flowers?"
Chen Guanxue looked at the lilies in her hand, and then at the roses that had been placed in the vase.
It does seem quite easy to cause misunderstandings.
The flowers delivered these past few days have gradually fallen into two styles: one flamboyant, the other subtle.
I was also afraid she'd get tired of seeing it.
"It's a young man named Chen Ye. Like Chen Xi, he's from Beijing. He always comes with us on our dates," she said, half-jokingly.
Li Tang rolled her eyes at her, "Nonsense."
A month after Chen Guanxue started school, Chen Xi squeezed out some time to bring her parents to visit and have a meal with them.
It wasn't a formal engagement, just a normal meeting. As for the engagement arrangements, we'll need to schedule another time to discuss them.
Two or three months is normal. When she has fewer classes and misses someone, she will fly over to see him.
After seeing her boyfriend again and returning home, Chen Guanxue raised an eyebrow at her parents' less-than-friendly expressions and sat obediently opposite them.
"My dear, how about we call off this engagement?" Li Tang found it difficult to say, since it was obvious to everyone that Chen Guanxue really liked Chen Xi, and she was afraid of becoming the wicked mother who broke up the couple.
“No.” Chen Guanxue shook her head. “Mom, he’s very good to me. If I miss this opportunity, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.”
She didn't say it, but she felt an unprecedented sense of familiarity with Chen Xi and Chen Ye, as well as the joy of a reunion. Every moment they spent together was blissful.
Their relationship was smooth sailing, and her happiness has only grown to the point where she wants to get married.
Li Tang had no choice but to tell Chen Feng the reason.
“But Chen Xi has a mental illness.” Li Tang took out the documents, which were exactly the same as the ones she had seen before, plus an extra one. “His other personality actually has a legal identity in Hong Kong. How outrageous is what the Chen family did.”
This was the first time she had ever heard of it.
After carefully looking at it once, Chen Guanxue put it down.
“Mom, I know about his situation. Although it’s immoral, I’ve really fallen in love with both of his personalities,” Chen Guanxue said earnestly, prepared to be scolded.
But no one criticized her.
Chen Feng sighed, "Your parents asked you to give up not because of this, but because if you have children, the chances of them developing mental illness are higher than for others."
"Yes, it's normal for you to yearn for love and marriage at such a young age, but giving birth to a sick child will ruin you. You can't bear the pain of your child being disfigured because of the disease."
Chen Guanxue genuinely hadn't considered this issue.
Her parents really, really love her.
She wouldn't accuse her of being immoral for falling in love with two different personalities, nor would she unilaterally demand that she break up with them; instead, she would worry that she would be sad.
“Then we shouldn’t have children,” she said.
"But..." Chen Feng was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
“Mom and Dad, I have a complete family, and I love Chen Xi and Chen Ye. I won’t feel lonely whether I have children or not. At most, I’ll have a little regret, but we can make up for it by adopting orphans.” Chen Guanxue said very seriously, “As long as a child grows up under our care, there is no difference between them and our own children.”
She couldn't bring herself to suggest that her parents have another child.
Childbirth is dangerous, and the parents are getting old.
"Mom, you said that giving birth is dangerous, but things are fine now."
Li Tang pursed her lips, as if she couldn't persuade him anymore.
"Then you'll have to get Chen Xi sterilized, and also take his assets..."
She was afraid that Chen Xi would change his mind.
Few men like them don't want children. Even if they don't want them now, they might change their minds in the future. How many men say they're childless when they're young, but then go and have children with younger women when their wives can't have children or are too old?
Not only do they break their wives' hearts, but some even scheme to leave their wives with nothing or burden them with debt.
She didn't want Chen Guanxue to fall into difficulties in the future and wanted Chen Xi to provide her with security.
“He transferred the shares to me at the lowest market price a long time ago,” Chen Guanxue said. “He had me sign a subscription agreement before he left, and now he only has less than half of what he originally had.”
Even if he buys the shares from other shareholders in the future, he will not be able to achieve absolute control. If she sells her shares, the Chen family will suffer a great loss.
It was a transaction involving money, and she bought it before marriage. Even if their relationship breaks down and they separate in the future, her shares will not change.
"As for vasectomy, I'll go ask him if he's willing."
Li Tang sighed.
Seeing her mother's distress, Chen Guanxue sat down next to her, hugged her arm and shook it, and said coquettishly, "If he doesn't want to, I won't marry him and will stay at home with you for the rest of my life."
"How can you say that..."
After calming the two down, Chen Guanxue went back to her bedroom and made a video call to Chen Xi, explaining what had happened.
I didn't ask him what decision he made, I just asked, "Why do you still have an identity in Hong Kong?"
The person in the video immediately changed to Chen Ye, who said somewhat awkwardly, "He married you in mainland China, and I'll marry you in Hong Kong... Is that okay?"
How could anyone not be moved when a usually assertive person shows a nervous expression?
Chen Guanxue only regretted that he wasn't by her side at the moment, otherwise she would definitely hug him and kiss him twice.
"Of course!" she said without hesitation.
They are two independent souls, and even gifts and compliments should be given to each of them separately. It would be unfair to them if the groom's name were only shown at the wedding.
"I am Chen Xi and Chen Ye's bride, and I must have two weddings."
If she weren't afraid of public opinion hurting him, she could have openly and generously held a wedding with both of his names on the board.
Very few people knew about his illness; only his family and her family knew.
Those who do business and do not hide their shortcomings will be attacked by the masses.
That night, they video-chatted until their phones ran out of battery before reluctantly hanging up.
Chen Guanxue still receives two bouquets of flowers every day.
A month later, Chen Xi came to see her with a surgery consent form.
Chen Guanxue was about to take her final exams, so she took him to the amusement park to relax.
Neither of them particularly liked seeking thrills, so they opted for a romantic ride on the Ferris wheel.
When they reached the highest point of the Ferris wheel, she was only given two light kisses before a small roll of paper was slipped into her hand.
“What?” she asked.
"The answer for my mother-in-law," he replied.
She roughly knew what it was.
After getting off the Ferris wheel, he realized it was snowing. Her high heels sank slightly into the snow, so he squatted down and carried her on his back.
The two rows of footprints side by side became one.
The first time Chen Guanxue lay on his back, she watched the light snowflakes fall on his black hair, the white ones a bit of an eyesore, and reached out to brush them away.
The person carrying her thought she was playing with her hair and didn't pay attention.
"Chen Xi, Chen Ye."
"Um."
"I am here."
Her soft face was buried in the back of his neck, her warm breath falling on his hair.
His steps slowed down, and the only sounds besides the crunching of his feet on the snow were her breaths echoing in his ears.
"I like you."
"We are too."
Answering this question separately would seem insincere if done slowly, so Chen Ye answered for Chen Xi immediately.
"ha."
Chen Guanxue pinched his ear, forgiving his little trick, and Chen Xi also forgave him.
With this answer sheet submitted to Li Tang, the two families quickly began the formalities, including the three letters of appointment and the six betrothal gifts, all arranged according to the most suitable timeframe.
On the day she finished the exam, she walked out of the school and saw a tall, elegant man standing next to the car, holding a bouquet of roses and walking towards her.
"Go home for dinner."
Chen Guanxue took the flowers, and her left hand was held tightly by him, her somewhat cold hand immediately becoming warm.
Back home, after dinner, they sat and chatted for a while before Chen Xi tactfully suggested leaving.
Chen Feng and Li Tang nodded and asked Chen Guanxue to see them off.
Standing at the door, the snowflakes outside seemed to be falling even more heavily, as if they were about to drown anyone who was going out.
"Why don't you stay?" she said.
Chen Xi draped the scarf over her shoulders and couldn't help but laugh, "With your aunt and uncle's attitude, you still dared to let me stay? Aren't you afraid they won't sleep peacefully?"
Chen Guanxue pursed her lips.
Her cheeks were gently touched and pinched. "Go back."
Their engagement banquet was just a few days away. Familiar relatives and friends had already sent out invitations, and they had also rushed to Beijing ahead of time.
Chen Guanxue and the others lived in Chen Xi's old house.
Although it is called an old house, it is actually a group of ancient buildings. It was renovated a few years ago and equipped with various modern facilities. The two-story wooden building looks simple and grand.
Next door lived Chen Xi and his family. According to them, she lived in the courtyard of the future matriarch of the family.
Sigh, I don't know why these modern people have so many rules. In other words, they don't spout ancestral rules when they speak, otherwise she would have turned around and left.
"They're just a bunch of stubborn old men and women. They're very particular about weddings, but they don't care about their grandchildren's antics otherwise." Chen Xi was telling the truth, and she could tell that too.
"I understand, they're elderly, they just go through the motions for one day."
On the day of their engagement, she wore a white cheongsam that she had been working on for two months, and Chen Xi took her hand as soon as she reached out.
The banquet venue is not at the old house; you need to take a car to get there.
"Are you nervous?" Chen Xi asked her, his own hands unconsciously tightening.
Chen Guanxue patted the back of his hand, "It's alright."
The banquet hall had a beautiful starry sky ceiling, and the roses were all air-freighted white roses, which complemented her cheongsam. Chen Xi was also wearing a white suit, looking more energetic than usual for her age.
When there are outsiders present, what they say on stage is pretty much the same.
Only they knew that the only difference was the engagement ring.
The rings on Chen Guanxue's hand were two thin silver bands with a small gap in the middle, and two diamonds at the top, representing two personalities.
The ring on Chen Xi's hand was an ordinary silver ring, without diamonds, with her name engraved on the inside.
This marriage was destined to be kept secret from outsiders, but it was a sweet memory that belonged only to them.
The engagement was tiring. After seeing off the important guests, Chen Guanxue sat in a chair, not wanting to move at all, and even had to be fed by him.
"Are you sleepy?" Chen Xi asked her.
Chen Guanxue wanted to nod, but tonight was their engagement day, and they couldn't just have it like this.
After getting engaged, the couple wanted to live a more carefree life, so they decided not to stay in the old house.
Snowflakes filled the courtyard. Chen Xi held her as they sat under the eaves. Suddenly, fireworks went off into the sky outside the courtyard.
Under the dazzling, multicolored light, Chen Guanxue tilted his head back, and an intimate kiss landed on her lips.
Their contact was brief; they watched the fireworks together and then returned to their bedroom.
Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Chen Guanxue raised an eyebrow and spoke, raising the room temperature.
"Are they discussing who should go first?"
Her response was a gentle embrace and a shower of soft, persistent kisses: "We don't care about who comes first."
The suppressed excitement in her voice made her instinctively want to escape.
But before he could turn over, he was pinned down tightly.
"you!"
Chen Guanxue knew they were being a bit stubborn, but there was no need to be stubborn at this time!
No matter how she reacted, she would be held tightly, her screams completely choked in her throat.
Even if you just extend your hand out of his control, he will quickly pull it back.
She went from trying to please him to feeling embarrassed and annoyed, and finally almost cried.
"Stop..."
Chen Guanxue bit her finger, and the two words she uttered from her throat became fragmented. She couldn't muster any strength and could only let him do as he pleased.
You guessed wrong.
The man bit her ear, breathing heavily, slowing his pace to bring her out of her daze.
"We agreed that if we guessed wrong, we couldn't stop."
Snowflakes hit the window and melted into water stains, blurring the clear glass.
The intermittent sounds from inside the house continued until late at night.
Even the post-coital cleaning was done while he held her, and she almost fell asleep while unconscious.
Chen Guanxue didn't know how long she had slept. When she tried to turn over, her muscles ached terribly and her throat hurt.
She brought the glass to her lips, glared at the person, and then drank it.
It's true that the more abstinent a person seems, the more terrifying they become when they indulge in lust.
"Let me rub it for you." Chen Xi sat on the edge of the bed, his black pajamas casually tied, revealing a large area of his abs when he bent over.
She clearly couldn't resist, yet she was still seduced by his good looks.
"Don't rub it, it makes me uncomfortable."
Chen Xi's eyes darkened as he drew closer to her. Just as they were about to kiss, she quickly closed her eyes, her ears turning slightly red.
"In your eyes, are we such beasts?"
A warm hand covered my waist, pressing down on my stiff muscles.
Chen Guanxue covered her eyes with her hand, secretly glancing at his serious expression, then whispered, "He's a beast..."
He spoke so softly he almost didn't hear her, and afraid of angering her, he didn't dare to laugh out loud.
After getting engaged, they only spent one winter break together before separating again.
"Even after we're engaged, you have to send me flowers. You're not allowed to stay up late, what if you get ugly? If you miss me, just tell me, I'll come back to see you..."
On the eve of their separation, Chen Guanxue hugged him and kept talking, almost bursting into tears as she spoke.
There was nothing he could do but crawl into your bed and coax her.
Chen Guanxue bit the blanket, staring blankly at the ceiling, feeling both ashamed and angry, and wanted to kick him, but was caught.
He didn't get out of bed until the sheets were wet.
"Want to guess again?"
Chen Guanxue pushed him away, "You're not allowed to kiss me with your mouth!"
The person who was pushed away got out of bed to rinse his mouth, and when he came back, he hugged and kissed her nonstop. Not only did he kiss her, but he also made her play the 'Guess Who I Am' game.
This time I didn't go too far; I made her sleep after just two times.
Chen Guanxue is good-looking and seems to be from a wealthy family. She had several suitors starting right after the semester began, but she rejected them all. Chen Xi and Chen Ye's flowers were delivered directly to her house, so no one knew she was dating.
So when she returned to school after the semester started, her classmates thought it was just a decorative accessory.
Until someone else confessed their feelings to her.
Chen Guanxue raised her hand and moved her fingers.
"See this? This is my engagement ring and my fiancé's engagement ring." The ring is beautiful, but its design is different from that of a typical engagement or wedding ring, so it's normal for it to be mistaken for a decorative ring, which is why she emphasized it.
"I'm sorry," the boy said instinctively, still handing the flowers to her. "Congratulations on your engagement, and I wish you a long and happy marriage."
"Thanks."
Fearing that people might not know she was engaged, she even had Chen Xi pick her up from school in his most eye-catching sports car, loaded with red roses, when he had some free time.
The effect was remarkable; everyone now knew she was a married woman.
But she played the 'Guess Who I Am' game again. This time he played a trick on her. Even though she guessed correctly, she still couldn't escape his clutches. The roses she had originally intended to use to express her love were crushed, and the seductive juice stained her skin.
This time she was completely exhausted and stayed in her bedroom for the entire weekend, unable to go out shopping.
It was after that incident that Chen Guanxue realized how wicked he was.
Sigh, what can you do when she volunteered?
So, taking advantage of the May Day holiday, she flew to Beijing with her specially made little clothes to find him.
This time I don't need to play games.
"Miss Rabbit".
"Nurse Chen."
“Dear Secretary.”
"My Queen."
...
Young people have plenty of energy, and the two of them exercise regularly, so they tend to be a bit reckless when they play around.
As a result, on the last day of the holiday, Chen Guanxue twisted her ankle.
"Cough cough cough." The old Chinese medicine doctor from the Chen family glanced at their faces and started coughing.
It took me a while to calm down, and then I checked her ankle.
"The bones are fine, it's just that the muscles were overused. Massage it with medicated wine and rest for a day... a week should be enough, a week of rest will be fine."
Before leaving, the old Chinese medicine doctor took the pulses of the two people again.
The elderly Chen couple pulled him aside and whispered, "Are you alright?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor shook his head.
"They were really arguing a lot, are they really okay?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor stroked his beard. "It's really nothing, she's young. I can make some more nourishing and invigorating soup for the young lady."
Then Chen Guanxue drank a bowl of it, and that night she kicked Chen Xi to sleep in the next room.
"It's all your fault, you made me look bad."
Chen Xi obediently went out.
He came back after she fell asleep.
I had just lain down and hadn't even reached out to hug her when a warm and soft body rolled into my arms.
After two years of long-distance relationship, right after graduation, Chen Guanxue started discussing marriage with him.
"Are you sure you want to get married so soon?" Chen Xi asked her.
He and Chen Ye also wanted to marry her, but many people, whether in or out of the entertainment industry, would get engaged for several years before getting married, feeling that they would lose their freedom after marriage.
“Of course.” Chen Guanxue nodded. “We’ve tried everything. We didn’t get married before because I was still studying and didn’t have time for a honeymoon.”
Those words made him want to laugh.
But looking at the person nestled on the sofa, radiating a glow like a pearl, he remembered how she had clung to him and was panting heavily last night.
I've definitely tried everything.
Since they were getting married, they started choosing wedding rings and making wedding dresses.
Everything was in two sets, yet identical, except for the wedding rings.
