章 99: Chen

"Xiu Mei, you'll be fine. Trust me." 

Then she was pulled into a hug by Lu Chen. She let herself be buried in his arms as he tried comforting her. He gently patted her back while whispering encouraging words in her ears which made her put down her worry. 

"Hmm. Thank you, Lu Chen." She muttered as she relaxed in his embrace. 

"Wife."

"Mm?"

"Can I request something?"

She shifted in his embrace, slightly raising her head meeting his gaze that was a few inches away from her. She gestured for him to continue speaking. 

"Um," Lu Chen cleared his throat. He looked a bit nervous as if he was going to say something that she wouldn't like at all.

"Can you call me husband?"
