As expected, Mary brought her daughter over for “medical help” to treat her irregular menstruation the next
morning.
Mary believed that this would bring Zuko and her daughter closer, as he wouldn’t need to check her pulse during
holistic healing.
She confidently smiled while her daughter looked at Zuko with allure, her dark freckles on her face forming a smile.
Conveniently shaking the golden bangles on her wrist, she placed her arm on the table.
Zuko frowned, trying to hide his urge to laugh.
He stayed still, stealing glances at Lina, who stood beside him.
Lina’s stern face was both terrifying and cute, especially her pouty, moist, and pink lips that made him recall the
taste of the “cotton candy” from the other day.
Just as Mary had Zuko check her daughter’s pulse, Lina slammed two marriage certificates on the table!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe mother and daughter were shocked, their eyes wide open as they looked at Lina.
Lina showed her firm stance, lacking the usual gentleness in her beautiful doe eyes, which were now filled with
suppressed anger.
Mary smiled shyly, feeling guilty as she glanced at the marriage certificates.
It was uncertain whether Lina was smiling or not. “Mrs. Nash, why don’t I check your daughter’s pulse? I’ve learned
many things from being with my husband every day. Your daughter has a woman’s problem, and a man like him
won’t be able to cure it. Why don’t I do it?”
Mary widened her eyes, guilt and fear welling up as she looked into Lina’s eyes that seemed to hide knives. She
quickly refused and hurriedly ran out, dragging her daughter along.
Zuko burst into laughter and reached out to grab Lina’s hand. However, she shook his hand off.
“What’s wrong?” Zuko asked innocently. “I didn’t check her pulse. I didn’t even look at her!”
While it was true that he hadn’t looked at her, the latter’s eyes had been fixed on him!
Lina was furious but knew she was being unreasonable. After a moment of calm, she turned around slowly, still
devoid of a smile.
“What’s wrong?” Zuko ran his fingers through her hair and whispered with a smile, “The first round of the ‘husband
defense contest’ has ended. Lina won!”
“You…” Lina playfully punched him.
However, her expression dimmed when she noticed the marriage certificates on the table out of the corner of her
eye.
Sensing the change in her demeanor, Zuko approached and checked. “What’s wrong?”
Lina spoke in a flat tone. “It’s fake, after all…”
“It won’t be fake forever!” Zuko hurriedly interjected. “Your mom said that after I pass her test in a year and a half,
we’ll replace the certificates with the real ones!”
Lina was stunned. “We still have to wait… a year and a half?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“We can go right away if you want!”
“Get out of here!” Lina blushed and pushed him away, smiling with her head lowered.
A year and a half was neither long nor short.
By then, Lina would have graduated from university.
After wearing her graduation gown, she would put on a wedding gown. She would spend the rest of her life with
him, just like her parents did… That would be the greatest happiness.
Zuko held her shoulders, stared at her, and chuckled. “I think Mrs. Nash’s daughter is fine, but you’re not.”
“What do you mean?”
“Lina…” He whispered in her ear. “I have a magic pill.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“I’m serious!”
Zuko grinned and kissed her, catching her off guard!
Her heart raced from the unexpected kiss. Her hands instinctively grasped his broad shoulders, and her body
responded without much thought.
