When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235: Chapter 97: The Top Star of the 1960s Song and Dance Troupe (36)

As she said this, she let out a theatrical sigh. "Brother Hao, it’s lonely at the top. You need a little something to spice up life."

Huo Tianhao saw she truly hadn’t taken the previous incident to heart and smiled, pecking her on the cheek. The sound was so loud it seemed to silence the summer insects for a full half-minute.

Xia Zhaoyun bit her lip and lightly pounded his chest. "We—we’re in public!"

Huo Tianhao found her rare, demure display endearing. He recalled how her recent fibs had made him practically steam with frustration, and he couldn’t resist teasing her. "So, Xiaxia, does that mean I can have my way with you as long as we’re behind closed doors?"

After all, a husband and wife—especially a couple deeply in love—were supposed to be as intimate as one.

While that was true, hearing it said so bluntly was mortifying. Even Xia Zhaoyun couldn’t stop herself from pushing him away and storming off, her head lowered in a flurry of embarrassment and indignation.

Huo Tianhao let out a low chuckle and quickly caught up, taking her hand. The two continued their leisurely stroll home, walking side-by-side through the patches of dim, yellow light.

"I have to go on a trip down south tomorrow morning. Is there anything you want me to bring back for you?" he asked, his voice tinged with reluctance.

Xia Zhaoyun froze. She knew he often traveled for work, but with their relationship finally heating up, there was a world of difference between not seeing him while he was in the same city and him being away on a business trip.

She shook her head and looped her arm through his, clinging to him like a kitten, a mixture of playfulness and affection in her voice. "No, nothing. The best gift you could give me is coming back safe and sound, Tianhao."

Huo Tianhao felt her soft curves press against him, and a familiar heat immediately surged through his body.

He was exasperated with himself. He’d always been a man of immense self-control, yet now, before they’d even truly begun, his mind was already running wild, constantly consumed with thoughts of how to devour her whole.

The passions of a man in his twenties were a formidable force.

His voice grew husky. "Sweetheart, you should be a little more willful. Don’t be so obedient and understanding. I’m afraid you’ll spoil me, and I’ll start taking you for granted. Then someday, I’ll lose you and never be able to find you again."

"People can’t always control their worst impulses. I don’t even know what kind of man I’ll be tomorrow."
