My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses

Xue Lin’s frown deepened as she answered, "I’m changing already."

Ge Chen narrowed his eyes. His thick, long eyelashes reflected on his clear eyes. He looked even more gorgeous when he did that. "Is that a bad thing?"

Xue Lin shared her views. "I just realized that we love changing the things around us, but we don’t want to be changed."

Ge Chen blinked. He wasn’t sure why she said that. "Isn’t that given? We love ourselves more than we love others." That’s the truth. Sometimes, we say that we love others, we want the best for others; but when we have the time to choose, we choose what’s best for us. However, there are cases when some people choose what’s best for others. People like that deserve respect.

Xue Lin explained her way of doing things. "But I don’t mind learning something new and changing a bit though. I’m sure I love myself more than anything else."

’So, that’s why she talked about people who don’t want to be changed. She is truly remarkable.’ Ge Chen felt that he made the right decision to choose her. ’She is very intriguing.’ He looked at the blue sky covered with white clouds. "Doesn’t it make you wise? You know what you lack and you are trying to improve yourself..."

Xue Lin smirked. "I never said that I only learn good things." If she can learn good things, she can learn the bad things as well. Therefore, no one should jump to the conclusion of just hearing a few lines. That’s what she meant.

Ge Chen closed his eyes and felt the soft breeze. He spoke in a low tone, "I’m not blind. Someone like you who loves herself dearly can’t possibly want to harm yourself. You have a clear judgment between right and wrong and you chose the right path as you know that this way you won’t get hurt. That’s why you are still on the right path despite seeing wealth and luxury. If you are not wise, who is?"

’How long has it been since someone close to me praised me like that? Wait! He is not close! Although he is my husband, we are only acquaintances. I shouldn’t get my hopes up so easily. From my observation, men are always sweet at first but slowly they reveal their true self once everything is under their control.’ Xue Lin said, "That’s the greatest compliment I get on my wedding."

He looked down at her with his clear grey eyes. He was amused when he asked, "Did you fall for me?"

She replied in a poker face, "...You have a great sense of humor."

He met her gaze while saying, "I was serious."

She faked a smile and asked him back, "Can’t you just pretend that you were joking?"

His grey eyes narrowed dangerously as he answered, "When it comes to my lovely wife, no!"

Upon hearing the phrase ’lovely wife’, Xue Lin’s heart skipped a beat. She jumped out of the wooden bench and pointed out a finger at him. "I’m not lovely or anything! And don’t try to flatter me to get close to me. When it comes to me, flattery won’t get you anywhere." She realized that her voice was unusually loud. She coughed nervously and said, "Anyway, I’m going back to my room. I want to rest a bit before having dinner. See you later." Then, she turned around, and at a quick pace, she left. her ears felt warm.

Ge Chen kept looking at her till she was out of his vision. Afterward, his gaze turned serious and he calmly said, "I know you are there under the bushes. Come out."

Louis and Ming Yu came out with leaves all over their bodies. "Ah, you noticed!" Louis grinned awkwardly. He seemed normal but Ming Yu was ashamed to face his friend and boss.

Ge Chen scanned them top to bottom and then asked, "Where is the camera?"

Louis seemed he didn’t understand what his friend meant. "What are you talking about?"

"I heard the shutter’s sound." Ge Chen looked at him in the eyes. His gaze was sharp as if saying "there’s nothing you can hide from me."
