Chapter 224: Evening Breeze (14)
Lin Tingwan put her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, "Ah He, I suddenly feel so lucky."
She fell in love with him, and he happened to like her too. He was very gentle, considerate to her, and would think a lot about her. His elders and brothers and sisters were also very good.
Or perhaps only a family like this could raise someone like him.
"Lucky what?"
"Meet you."
"I'm lucky to have met Zao Zao." Ming Zhouhe held her and laid her on the couch. In the brilliant sunset glow, he leaned over and smiled into her eyes, saying, "I'm lucky that I'm the one Zao Zao fell in love with at first sight."
Lin Tingwan's eyes trembled slightly.
Every time he looked at me like this, my heart seemed to be filled, swollen and overflowing with joy.
Unable to help herself, she moved closer to him and kissed him softly on the corner of his lips.
The corners of his lips curled up, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. In her eyes, it was more dazzling than the sunset glow outside the window.
"I like Zao Zao's initiative." Ming Zhouhe held her head, tilted his head to press against her lips, kissed her lightly, and then went deeper until she was completely aroused by him and fell into the pleasure and excitement he brought her.
Their breaths intertwined, difficult to tell apart. After a long moment, he pulled away, wiping the moisture from her lips with his fingertips. The corners of his lips, still smiling, curved upwards, "What should Zao Zao call me?"
Lin Tingwan put her hands on his shoulders to calm her breathing, and after a while she was able to speak: "...husband."
"Um."
Ming Zhou rested his chin on her shoulder, glancing sideways at her eyes that were moved by him, his gaze gentle.
The next day, Ming Zhou and Lin Tingwan returned home.
Qiao Ruoying prepared generous return gifts for them, so there was more than one carriage going to the Lin Mansion. She asked the maids to sit in the carriage at the back, while Ming Zhou and Lin Tingwan got on a carriage alone.
After helping the person up, Ming Zhouhe sat opposite her and poured her a cup of tea.
Lin Tingwan sat upright and looked at him.
Ming Zhouhe took a sip of tea, raised his eyes, and fixed his gaze on her. "Just watching?"
"Um?"
"come over."
"Oh." Lin Tingwan stood up, walked to his side, and was about to sit down when he reached out and took her into his arms.
Ming Zhouhe lifted her knees and let her sit on his lap, then handed the tea to her lips. "Next time when no one is around, remember to sit in my arms. Have you forgotten what I said yesterday?"
Lin Tingwan took a sip of tea, and the tips of his ears turned red again, "I haven't forgotten."
He said he liked her initiative.
Ming Zhouhe laughed, resting his chin on her shoulder, and said, "Madam is still very shy, but it's just a drink of tea."
Lin Tingwan didn't say anything. Even though she had married him, she would probably still be shy for a long time.
When they arrived at the Lin Mansion, Ming Zhou and Lin Tingwan saw the people from the Lin Mansion standing at the door to greet them. They went forward and bowed, then called everyone one by one.
After staying at Lin's house for one night, he went to court with his father-in-law, uncle and others the next day. After finishing his duty, he came back to pick up Lin Tingwan and take him back to the Anguo Mansion.
On the day off, Mingyuelin dragged Lin Tingwan to play cuckoo, but she didn't want the "lonely" Mingzhou and Ziran to accompany them.
Although Shi Jianli and Ming Zhao had not come yet, Ming Zhouwu, Ming Zhoulu and other children of similar age from the Fuguogong family were also brought here by Ming Yuelin, making the place equally lively.
Lin Tingwan was still as powerful as ever at playing polo, and with the help of Ming Zhou and Ming Yuelin, Ming Yuelin's team was no match for him.
After getting tired of playing, Ming Yuelin started to act like a spoiled brat: "I don't want to play anymore. I'm hungry. Let me go eat something."
She jumped off the horse swiftly and ran away pulling Ji Rangzhou.
The temporary football team began to "fall apart" and everyone played their own games.
Seeing this, Ming Zhouhe, who was on the other side of the football field, rode his horse back, came to Lin Tingwan's side, and extended his hand to her.
Lin Tingwan tilted his head and looked at him.
Just like the first time she saw him, he was still riding his horse, but this time he did not just pass by her, but came for her.
Ming Zhouhe put his arm around her waist, lifted her from her horse and lifted her into his arms, pulling the reins and saying with a smile, "I'll walk with you."
Lin Tingwan narrowed her eyes and quietly placed a kiss on his cheek.

【Some character settings】
Yaoyao is sensitive yet a bit bold. Her background brings a certain insecurity, so she initially hoped to control her future. But after all, Yaoyao had been loved unconditionally by her parents, having been afforded the greatest freedom in the world. Even after experiencing adversity, her inherent boldness remained unchanged; it was nurtured by her parents' love.
Falling in love with Jing Yao was the collapse of her rationality, but also her boldness. She gambled on the sincerity in his eyes when he looked at her and was willing to give it a try. She allowed herself to sink into it while also remaining alert to pull herself away at any time.
With Jingyao's status, even the slightest noise would scare Yaoyao away, so in the early stages he could only approach her gently, teasing and enticing her, carefully trying to gauge her feelings. He was gentle, yet assertive, outgoing and proactive, able to emulate Yaoyao's emotions.
When her uneasiness was properly soothed by Jingyao and she gained Jingyao's favor, and heard his implicit or straightforward confessions again and again, Yaoyao would deliberately tease Jingyao after confirming his sincerity, to see him fall for her and yet restrain himself for her.
Xiao Lin had always been spoiled, and only Ji Gudong, who was initially slow to catch on, did not do what she wanted. But those who are spoiled are unwilling to be outdone, and when they like someone, they are also proud, not humble or cautious. So when she faced Ji Gudong, she acted like an awkward little tsundere, wanting his attention but not wanting to push him away. She grumbled and let Ji Gudong take the initiative to coax her, making him change for her step by step, and finally completely occupying his heart.
Ji Gudong isn't a proactive person, and tends to be rather reserved, a traditionally responsible gentleman. But he's not entirely taciturn; he's intelligent and perceptive, easily able to discern Xiaolin's feelings. Once he understands Xiaolin's feelings, he'll take the initiative to please the girl he likes.
She had been secretly in love with her cousin for a long time. When the marriage happened to her, she felt like it was a godsend. She was panicked and nervous, but she couldn't help but feel happy. She couldn't help but spy on him, and couldn't help but look out again and again to confirm whether it was true. When the person she liked approached, she accepted him completely, allowing herself to fall in love. She would be shy and a little clumsy, all because of the chaos in her heart.
My cousin is also a very smart person, thoughtful and protective. Once he confirmed that Zao Zao was interested in him, he decisively dug himself into his territory. He discovered that Zao Zao liked him during the New Year's gift-giving ceremony. After all, she was already his fiancée, and if she still liked him, his directness wouldn't be disliked. So, he skipped the subtlety and went straight for it, flirting openly and pursuing her.
[Whoever falls in love first will clumsily and cautiously try to get closer. Once I'm sure you like me too, I'll become bolder and gradually take possession of your complete preference in love.]
