"Bao'er, I will be a gentleman for you. For no other reason than so you will never be pitied, but only envied. So your man will be respected out in the world, and at home, he can roll up his sleeves and cook for you!" Li Xiu spoke these words with the utmost tenderness and love.
As she was gently laid on the bed in a daze, Zhou Lian was still replaying Li Xiu's words in her mind. She watched him kneel before her to take off her shoes, and the love in her eyes threatened to spill over. She knew those words came from the bottom of his heart; it was what he said, and it was what he did.
"Bao'er, don't look at me like that," Li Xiu said softly, gently removing her shoes. "I won't be able to resist." He saw the profound love swirling in her eyes as she sat on the bed, watching him.
Zhou Lian said nothing, only watching Li Xiu with a sweet smile, showing none of her usual shyness.
