When Matthew said this, he had purposely lowered his voice, making it so pleasing to Selina's ears that it felt as if honey was dripping out of them.
Not only was it an alluring voice, but also a seductive one.
It was as if his voice was a siren's enchanting song, bewitching sailors to drown in a sea's watery deaths.
It made her heart thump like a drum.
It hadn't been her original intention, but once Matthew questioned her so, her heart began wavering.
Yes, she had to admit that Matthew had successfully charmed her.
After some hesitation, Selina mustered up her courage and cried out, "So what if I do!"
This made Matthew chuckle.
His laughter felt like a feather brushing against the tip of her heart, creating a tickle in there that was hard to ignore.
Matthew gave her a brief and gentle kiss on the cheek. "We are still at the start of our relationship. It's better if we start in a conventional spot like the bedroom. However, we can try other places in the future if you like."
Selina didn't say anything in reply.
Her eyes had bulged out in response. Matthew was trying to rapidly level up their relationship!
She couldn't help snapping at him, "Matthew, is this a game to you?"
His gaze turned earnest at this. "You won't be very comfortable in the beginning. Selina, I hope that you'll get used to this first. If you want to try exciting things in the future, I'll try it with you then."
His gaze was serious, and so was the tone of his voice. He didn't seem like he was joking at all.
Selina could not respond.
Her face blushed a crimson red.
Selina truly had to hand it to Matthew since he could discuss bedroom activities in such a proper manner. His face did not redden nor was he flustered in any way.
However.
Selina's heart stirred gently.
Matthew still had the best for her in mind.
After all, she had only been intimate with Matthew once before. It was true that they needed to be gentle and caring towards each other at the beginning, instead of prioritizing arousing stimulation.
The fact that Matthew was so considerate towards her was great.
An example was when they had been sleeping in the same ward yesterday night. Matthew did not lay a hand on her as well.
To be frank, Selina knew how much he would have suffered from the abstinence.
She knew because while they were asleep, Matthew had been hugging her from behind so her lower back was pressed against his front.
She had slept soundly last night, but there was also a strange feeling lingering on her buttocks. This feeling reminded her of how much discomfort the man, who was embracing her, had been enduring.
When she thought of this, her cheeks turned an even brighter shade of red. Not only was she blushing harder, but her mouth felt dry as well.
Dear heavens, she could not help being ashamed of herself. Matthew had only teased her a little yet her mind was already wandering like crazy.
She didn't want Matthew to notice her shameful side, so she quickly used her hands to push him away.
"Enough, go back to your work now."
However, Matthew was in no hurry.
Work was a priority, but when compared to Selina...
She was more important.
"Now that you're full, do you want to take a walk with me? I'm almost done with my work and I've already finished all the things that needed to be completed."
Selina subconsciously peeked at his desk. There was still a thick stack of documents on the table. All it took was one glance for her to know that he was lying about almost being done with work.
She was a daughter that had been born into a family of high prestige, and her older brother was the president of the YS Group. Therefore, she naturally knew how busy a man in his position usually was.
Yet at this very moment, he had delayed a lot of work just for her.
How selfish of her. She honestly wanted Matthew to take a walk with her.
After all, which woman did not want her man to be by her side day and night?
However, she did not forget that her goal was to be a virtuous wife!
And since she was to be a virtuous wife, she should be more mindful towards her husband.
"There's no need for that. I think sitting here is quite good already, maybe I'll go take a look around the Perry Group on my own. I've been here a few times but I haven't been able to explore it properly yet."
"I'll go with you."
She immediately shook her head to decline his offer. "No. If you were to accompany me, your employees would definitely be focused on us. I think it'll be better if I take the tour by myself."
