294 Let's get married

…

Jin Yue sat on a couch beside Xin Yong; he wouldn't let her do a thing. The only thing he couldn't do was to do her breathing.

''Hope I'm getting discharged soon? I'm getting tired of this place! ''

She complained, peeking outside with a frown. It was already late into the night.

''The doctor would soon come over to check on you. ''

He smiled, caressing her hand lovingly.

''Let's get married. ''

Jin Yue said all of a sudden. Xin Yong's lips fell open in shock.

''Uh? What did you say? ''

''I said, let's get married. ''

He had always wanted to be married to her but she had been the one postponing it. Now, after what had happened, he wouldn't let her out of his sight again.

Xin Yong was silent for a few seconds.

''Okay… when?''

''Now, sorry, I mean tomorrow. ''

Jin Yue said cupping her right hand in his and blowing soft kisses on them.

''Jin Yue, tomorrow is quite too…''

''No Sweet, it's not too early. I want you by my side forever and as long as we aren't married, I'll always be insecure, please, I don't want to lose you again, please…''

Xin Yong stared at him for a few seconds before a smile broke out on her face.

''Alright tomorrow then, but we can't tell my parents yet. ''

She said, staring into his eyes, as though wanting him to understand what she meant.

Jin Yue nodded, squeezing her hands.

He knew her parents would not want anything to do with him again, but he was determined to prove to them that he really loves their daughter and would protect her forever.

''I missed you so much. ''

Xin Yong said, smiling.

He smiled too. ''I missed you too. ''

It was too good to be true, they were finally together.

''I'm sorry for making you cut your hair. ''

Although she was still beautiful, he had loved her long hair and he hated himself for being the reason why she shaved it off.

Xin Yong pouted her lips;

''If you say it like that, I'll feel I'm not pretty anymore. ''

''No, no, no, you are so much pretty, I'm sorry. ''

''Oh stop apologizing okay. It's all past now, and besides, my hair is growing quite so fast.''

She said touching on her hair.

Jin Yue inched closer and caressed her face;

He had so many questions to ask her about the past, but he didn't want to bring that up at that moment, maybe it was best if they left the past where it belonged.

''I'll never let you go again…''

He said, pulling her closer into a warm embrace.

…

''We should sleep in different rooms. ''

Liling murmured. They've been awake for over thirty minutes, each not able to catch sleep.

Liu Wei's arms were wrapped around her, and his breath slowly tickling her skin. How was she expected to sleep in that position?

''Baby, we should really sleep in different rooms, I can't sleep. ''

Liu Wei's eyes fluttered open and he stared at her.

''There is a room just before the study downstairs, I'll go there till the one month is over then we can continue staying together.''

She pecked his lips and made to stand but Liu Wei held her around the waists.

''I'll go; I can't let you stay downstairs. ''

He said and stood up from the bed; picking his phone, he trudged out of the room, when he approached the doors; he turned around to stare at her.

''Will… will you be okay? ''

He asked, as though wanting her to say that she wasn't okay by herself so he would come back to the bed, but sadly Liling nodded immediately as she peeked at him with only her eyes popping out of the duvet.

'' Goodnight. ''

He was quiet for a few seconds before he finally nodded.

''okay, I'll be going. ''

He said and dragged his feet slowly out of the room and he closed the door. Liling noticed him stand beside the door for some time before he finally walked out.

Although she really wanted him by her side, it was quite impossible, since she was unable to catch some sleep, with the constant reminder in her head that they weren't going to do any other thing, other than cuddling, which was pathetically saddening.

…

Xin Yong got discharged from the hospital the next day but she had called home to tell them that she wasn't returning that day, so they weren't worried. He stopped a few meters away from her house in order for them not to be seen.

''Why are you smiling? '' She asked with a light chuckle, as she turned to bade him goodbye before alighting from the car.

''Nothing, I'm just happy, so happy. ''

Jin Yue said, rubbing lightly on her cheeks.

Xin Yong smiled and leaned closer, kissing him for a few seconds on the lips;

''Me too, what time are we going to the Civil Affairs? ''

She asked, a little crease on her brows;

''What time will be best for you? ''

''Hmm… 9am, is that okay with you? ''

Jin Yue nodded; he didn't want her to leave but he knew she had to. Pulling her close again, he covered her lips once more. They kissed for a few minutes before Xin Yong ended the kiss.

''Okay, I'll be going now, good night, ''

\She said with a smile, before opening the door and stepping out.

Jin Yue watched her every move till she was about a meter to her home before she turned around and waved at him. She couldn't see him but she was sure he was watching her.

Jin Yue smiled at her. He watched her till she was safely inside her home.

Xin Yong's phone buzzed as she lay down on her bed to sleep after taking a shower.

'Sweet, are you asleep?'
