Chapter 375: Chapter 378: Want Ten Times_1
Qiao Duo’er touched her nose, "Well... I only recognize the flowering Star-of-Bethlehem."
These days should be the blooming season for Star-of-Bethlehem, and seeing the flowers she was able to identify them. Unfortunately, she had been kept at home all this time.
The next second, Tan Zhenghong scooped up Qiao Duo’er in a princess-style carry and even spun around twice on the spot.
He exclaimed excitedly, "Haha, wifey, we’ve found the Star-of-Bethlehem!"
After he had calmed down, he caught Qiao Duo’er’s red lips and gently bit them.
"Ah, what are you doing?"
Tan Zhenghong feigned anger as he spoke, "Of course I’m punishing you. Do you know how much I missed you? Every night I would fret and fume, and yet this thing was just growing by the road. How could I not be angry?"
"Let go of me right now, if I had known, I wouldn’t have told you the truth!"
Qiao Duo’er had her arms tightly wound around Tan Zhenghong’s neck, afraid that in his excitement he might let her fall.
If she got seriously hurt from a fall, their wedding night would have to be indefinitely postponed!
Tan Zhenghong’s arms tightened even more, "If you dare to lie to me, I... I’ll just carry you out like this!"
"Jerk!"
"You’re right, I am a jerk!"
After messing around for a while, the two went off to look at the Star-of-Bethlehem again.
"Wifey, is this flower enough?" Tan Zhenghong looked at the small flower the size of a fingernail cap, still harboring a tiny bit of doubt in his heart.
"Star-of-Bethlehem is used medicinally for its rhizomes," Qiao Duo’er said weakly.
The rhizomes could be harvested in any season, meaning they had waited in vain for so long, no wonder Tan Zhenghong was going crazy.
Tan Zhenghong laughed sheepishly, "Then I’ll go dig it up right now. Wifey, you’ll have to make it up to me when we get married, I want three... no, I want ten times."
Qiao Duo’er pursed her lips. Was Tan Zhenghong sure he could manage ten times in one night?
Anyway, she felt certain that Tan Zhenghong would have the will but not the power.
She remembered someone had a wound on his back, probably making even once difficult.
Tan Zhenghong leaned in close to Qiao Duo’er’s ear and blew a breath against her sensitive ear, "You’ll find out if it’s possible when the time comes."
He just hoped that his wifey wouldn’t hit him, letting him fully indulge in the act of love.
"Impertinent child!" Qiao Duo’er retorted affectionately.
Tan Zhenghong chuckled softly, "Wifey, you rest well, I’m off."
What’s he off to do?
Naturally, to dig up the rhizomes of Star-of-Bethlehem. Once he had that herb, he could concoct a birth control remedy.
With the birth control remedy, they could fully indulge on their wedding night!
Qiao Duo’er left behind and pouting, suspected that Tan Zhenghong’s love was not for her, but for Star-of-Bethlehem.
Nevertheless, she found an empty bottle to put the flowers in. Perhaps because the room felt more colorful, her mood brightened up as well.
She had imagined countless scenarios of finding Star-of-Bethlehem—by the riverside, on the mountains, in some secluded corner—but she never expected Tan Zhenghong to personally deliver it to her!
If she didn’t know Tan Zhenghong so well, she would suspect that he did it deliberately.
How did he happen to come across the Star-of-Bethlehem just like that?
But... finding it is great anyway!
The big girl had been outside for a while before she came back, peeking her head in first.
There’s no trace of Tan Zhenghong inside the room, only Qiao Duo’er grinning foolishly with her face all aglow.
"Sister Duo’er, what did Brother Zheng Hong do to you just now? Your face is redder than a bride’s!" the big girl said with a giggle.
Qiao Duo’er cleared her throat, "Child, don’t stick your nose in adults’ matters, or you might end up not getting married." 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
