After the stalemate between the two was broken, Ni Sitian felt exceptionally relieved and slept soundly until dawn.
When she woke up this time and found herself nestled in his arms, she stiffened slightly, but didn't immediately move away as she had before.
She promised last night that she would gradually get used to the intimacy between them and slowly integrate into this marriage.
So let's start making changes today.
After mentally preparing herself, Ni Sitian relaxed and turned around to face Xu Tingchuan.
This was the first time she had ever looked at Xu Tingchuan's sleeping face so closely and intently.
His eyelashes were thick and long, casting a soft shadow when they fell, giving people the illusion of tranquility and gentleness.
His nose was straight and prominent in the middle, making his facial features even more rugged and handsome.
His lips are thin, with a sexy shape and a light color that looks moist and soft.
Also... very nice to kiss.
Ni Sitian stared at his lips, and thinking of the tender and lingering kiss from last night, she couldn't help but purse her lips.
Suddenly, she saw those thin lips part slightly, and a sexy, husky voice rang out: "Good morning."
Ni Sitian looked up and met Xu Tingchuan's eyes, blushing at her own inappropriate thoughts, and stammered a "Good morning."
Xu Tingchuan realized that Ni Sitian didn't seem to be planning to escape from his embrace, so he lowered his head and kissed her forehead with satisfaction.
Ni Sitian's cheeks flushed even redder, her eyes darting away from his dark, deep gaze.
She was indeed determined to treat him seriously as her husband, but could she please have a little more time? Being looked at like that by him was really embarrassing.
"Get up." Ni Sitian felt a little embarrassed and annoyed after being stared at for so long. She broke free from his embrace, jumped off the bed like a little rabbit, and darted into the bathroom.
Even after closing the door, she could still feel her heart pounding and her cheeks burning.
She calmed her racing heart and looked at her flushed face in the mirror. Something seemed different about her, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Without thinking too much about it, I brushed my teeth and washed my face before leaving the bathroom.
As soon as Ni Sitian came out of the bathroom, she saw Xu Tingchuan opening the box containing the tie.
"I saw it while shopping with Zhilan, and I thought it suited me, so I bought it." She tried to use a casual tone, as if it were a casual purchase.
Xu Tingchuan glanced at her, opened the box, closed it again, put it back in the closet, and then went to the bathroom to wash up.
Ni Sitian looked at the box that had been put back and felt a little disappointed. She had spent so long choosing it, did he mean he didn't like it?
It seems she really doesn't understand him; even picking out a gift didn't suit his taste. Luckily, she said it was just a casual purchase, otherwise she would have been embarrassed again.
Ni Sitian composed herself, feeling a little down, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
She had a whole tray of red bean buns left from yesterday's unpacking, so she put them directly into the steamer and heated up two cups of milk.
After finishing breakfast, the two went to the bedroom to change into their outdoor clothes.
As Ni Sitian reached for the light pink dress, Xu Tingchuan beat her to it, taking a sky-blue chiffon dress that was placed at the very back and handing it to her.
She paused for a moment, looking at Xu Tingchuan with a puzzled expression.
Xu Tingchuan didn't explain, and closed the wardrobe on her side.
Ni Sitian suddenly remembered that the Givenchy dress she was wearing was a gift from Xu Tingchuan when he returned from his business trip.
However, she never wore it.
It wasn't that the size was wrong; she simply couldn't bring herself to enjoy these expensive gifts.
