Chapter 107 "After caring about outsiders, now it's time to care about your husband."
The sun sets in the west, and the last golden afterglow is sprinkled on the sea and finally disappears.
The sea breeze turned cooler, and its salty and moist scent seeped into her thin dress.
She unconsciously hunched her shoulders and subconsciously rubbed her bare arms with her slender fingers.
"Cold?"
Ji Huaishen's voice rang in his ears.
Before Wen Duo could answer, a suit jacket with body temperature was already draped over her shoulders.
Wen Duo looked up and saw Ji Huaishen’s slightly furrowed brow.
In the twilight, his angular features seemed even more profound, and his obsidian eyes were filled with concern.
"Do you want to take a ride?" He placed his warm palm on her slightly cold arm, as if to keep her warm.
Wen Duo nodded and pulled her coat, which carried Ji Huaishen's body temperature, tighter.
His breath enveloped her, dispelling the coolness of the sea breeze.
Ji Huaishen's arms were strong and powerful, with irresistible tenderness, guiding her towards the black Maybach parked beside the coconut grove path.
The car door slid open silently, Ji Huaishen put his hands on her head and carefully helped her into the car.
Wen Duo sat in the car, rubbed his hands, and tried to warm himself up.
As a result, a cup of steaming ginger tea suddenly appeared in front of her and was stuffed into her hands.
In the hot steam, the spiciness of ginger and the sweetness of honey are intertwined.
Wen Duo looked at the warm ginger tea in her hand, blinked in surprise, and looked up at Ji Huaishen:
"When was it prepared?"
"When you're not planning on taking the car."
Wen Duo's heart trembled.
Everything was prepared for her before she even realized she needed it.
He is so nice.
Wen Duo thought so, holding the cup with both hands and taking small sips.
The heat flowed down his throat into his stomach, dispelling the last trace of coldness in his body.
But the ginger taste was a bit strong, and after drinking a few sips, she couldn't help but wrinkle her nose.
"Too spicy?" Ji Huaishen keenly sensed her discomfort.
Wen Duo nodded and handed him the half-remaining cup of ginger tea. Her cheeks were slightly red, perhaps due to the heat or something else.
"You must be cold too. You can drink the rest."
snort!
She didn't drink it because it was a bit spicy, not because she thought Ji Huaishen would like to drink what she left. She left it on purpose!
Ji Huaishen took the cup, his gaze lingered on her rosy cheeks for a moment, a knowing smile flashed in his eyes.
He tilted his head back, placed his lips precisely on the rim of the cup, leaving the faint lip print, and drank it all in one gulp.
Wen Duo watched his Adam's apple roll up and down as he swallowed, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
That location... was exactly where she had just drunk.
She quickly turned her face away.
abnormal!
The car drove smoothly through the coconut grove path. Wen Duo leaned against the car window with her eyes shining.
The island in the twilight is unrealistically beautiful, with tall coconut trees swaying in the evening breeze and the outline of the castle faintly visible in the distance.
Suddenly, a Gothic building came into view.
The castle stands on the cliff, its spires pointing to the darkening sky, and warm lights filter through the stained-glass windows, like a scene from a fairy tale.
Wen Duo couldn't help but hold her breath, her eyes wide open.
"Oh my God..." she exclaimed softly, her fingers unconsciously pressing against the cold car window.
Ji Huaishen held her other hand and gently stroked the back of her delicate hand with his thumb:
"Do you like it?"
"Uh-huh!"
Wen Duo nodded frantically, and when she turned to look at him, her eyes were filled with stars.
“So beautiful, I love it!”
Ji Huaishen stared at her joyful expression, and his cold face softened.
"As long as you like it."
The car drove over an ancient suspension bridge, and Wenduo realized that the castle was surrounded by the sea on three sides, and only this passage connected it to the island.
The cliffs are steep and the waves hit the black rocks, making a dull roar.
"Why build a castle in such a dangerous place?"
Wenduo asked curiously, "I feel so unsafe."
Ji Huaishen glanced at the treacherous terrain, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"I heard that the film will look good if it's produced this way."
In fact, if you just retract the drawbridge, this place would be the perfect cage.
No one could take her away from him, and no one could escape his control.
“So that’s how it is…”
Wen Duo nodded in sudden realization, "But it is indeed spectacular."
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect you even knew the term 'release a film'."
Ji Huaishen raised his eyebrows: "Mrs. Ji, do you think I'm some kind of antique?"
He reached out and pinched her soft cheek, "I'm not even thirty yet, I'm still very young."
Wen Duo blinked, somewhat confused as to why Ji Huaishen suddenly brought up the issue of age.
Before she could figure it out, the car had already stopped in front of the castle.
"We're here." Ji Huaishen got out of the car first, turned around and extended his hand to her.
Two rows of uniformed servants stood in neat rows, and greetings rang out the moment the car door opened:
"Welcome home, ma'am and sir."
Wen Duo subconsciously grabbed Ji Huaishen's hand, and the latter squeezed her palm soothingly.
"Don't be nervous," he whispered in her ear, "They are all here to serve you."
The interior of the castle is even more stunning than the exterior.
A crystal chandelier hangs down from the twenty-meter-high dome, illuminating the spiral staircase in the center of the hall.
Wen Duo walked around back and forth. The place was so huge that it was unimaginable. It felt like it would take two weeks to finish exploring it.
Suddenly, she looked around as if she remembered something:
"Where was that young lady placed?"
Ji Huaishen's expression suddenly turned colder.
He hated that Wendor cared about anyone but him.
Especially this strange woman who inexplicably appeared on their honeymoon cruise.
So annoying.
I wanted to throw that woman into the sea.
Ji Huai took a deep breath and turned to the housekeeper standing quietly beside him:
"Is he awake?"
"No, sir."
The butler replied respectfully:
"The doctor said she is extremely weak and will not regain consciousness until tomorrow at the earliest."
Ji Huaishen nodded with satisfaction, and when he looked at Wen Duo again, his gentle expression returned:
"Since she won't wake up until tomorrow, why don't we go to bed early today?"
Wen Duo thought for a moment and nodded:
"Um."
Because I got up early today and didn’t take a nap as planned at noon, I naturally felt sleepy early in the evening.
"After caring about outsiders, now..."
He suddenly bent down and picked her up horizontally, startling Wen Duo so much that she cried out softly and hugged his neck:
"Isn't it time to care about your husband?"
"What...what are you doing? Put me down!" Wen Duo buried her face in his shoulder in shame, and could feel the smiling gazes of the servants.
Ji Huaishen turned a deaf ear and strode up the stairs:
"Is the master bedroom ready?"
"Everything has been rearranged according to your request."
The butler quickly followed:
"The rose bath is already filled with water, and dinner will be delivered to the room in three hours."
"Um."
After Ji Huaishen responded, he carried Wen Duo and strode upstairs towards the master bedroom, looking impatient.
"Why...why are you in such a hurry?" Wen Duo asked tremblingly in his arms.
"Didn't you say to go to bed early?" Ji Huaishen asked back, his voice a little hoarse.
Wen Duo looked at his feet moving so fast and muttered softly:
"Well.....there's no need to be so anxious..."
She always felt that something uncontrollable would happen if she returned to the room.
A little scared.
Ji Huaishen didn't answer, but just held her arms tighter and walked faster.
