Chapter 76 I've Fallen in Love with You
Su Xu closed the door behind him, and then pushed it a few times to make sure it wasn't closed properly before turning around.
He wiped his face with his large hand and looked at Liu Nian helplessly.
Sensing the man's nervousness, Liu Nian quickly went over and took his hand, saying, "Ah Xu."
Under the flickering lamplight, the man lowered his head, his eyes downcast, and took a deep breath, saying, "Everyone says you'll one day leave General Village. Niannian, don't worry, I won't hold you back."
Su Xu had already made up his mind: from now on, he would stay home with Nian Nian, take care of the child, and be a stay-at-home dad. He'd have a wife and kids, a warm bed, and life couldn't be more perfect, as long as Nian Nian didn't leave him.
A burden? Liu Nian was really angry. This man was decisive and powerful in the business world in his previous life, and now he actually said that she was a burden?
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Nian punched the man in the chest in anger. The thud made her heart ache. She gently rubbed the spot and said, "Su Xu, I want you to remember that it is my good fortune to be able to marry you."
Liu Nian placed her hand on his chest and looked up.
His eyes flickered, barely concealing the tears welling up, as he followed her gaze, forcing her eyes to meet his. "Really?"
Liu Nian nodded, feeling the man's pounding heartbeat in her palm. The sound seemed to resonate with her own heartbeat, and her heart began to pound like thunder.
"I married you at first because I knew you liked me, and I wanted to get out of that situation." There was also guilt, but Liu Nian didn't say it. Looking into Su Xu's eyes, she slowly said, "But now I can solemnly tell you, Su Xu, I have fallen in love with you."
As they spent more time together, Su Xu always protected her and made her the center of his world. His thoughtfulness and attentiveness made Liu Nian fall in love with the man before her without even realizing it.
Su Xu curled the corners of his mouth into a slight smile, but his eyes were red-rimmed. As he smiled, a single tear suddenly rolled down his cheek.
"Niannian, please don't leave me from now on, okay?" Su Xu's tears hung on her chin, glistening.
Liu Nian tiptoed, tilted her head back, and kissed his teardrops.
She sucked the bitter tears into her mouth.
"Okay, I will never leave you." Liu Nian cupped the man's face and solemnly swore, "I will love you forever."
Su Xu choked up and hugged Liu Nian tightly, wishing he could meld her into his own body.
The protruding belly between the two made Su Xu particularly wary, so he could only step back with his buttocks sticking out, forming a very strange posture.
Looking at the dressing mirror in the cabinet, Liu Nian glanced at herself. The affectionate atmosphere she had just been in vanished instantly, and she burst out laughing through her tears.
She poked the man's hand. "Hey, Ah Xu, look—"
Su Xu sniffed and looked over, puzzled.
The way he held Liu Nian looked exactly like a rabbit with its bottom sticking out.
The two looked at each other, their eyes also red, making them look even more alike.
Su Xu cupped Liu Nian's chubby face and gave her a big kiss, making a "smack" sound.
"I keep my word, I've stamped it for you." Su Xu's thumb brushed against his cheek, which was red from being kissed, and he couldn't help but lean down and kiss it again.
At night, the two of them squeezed into one quilt and whispered to each other.
Liu Nian rested her head on the man's hard arm and started talking about college entrance exams, saying, "Let's take the college entrance exams together when the kids are older."
Not being able to go to school with Su Xu is a regret, and I must make up for it no matter what in this lifetime.
“Okay.” Su Xu smiled.
"Just thinking about it makes me happy! I can go to school with the kids! Haha!"
Liu Nian chuckled as she thought about it, while Su Xu gently rubbed her round belly with his palm.
Su Xu sighed contentedly; he had everything and lacked nothing.
