Lu Chen extended his hand out and wrapped her hand in his as he replied, "You can be whatever you want, but you'll be my wife." He spoke with seriousness in his deep voice that Xiu Mei almost fell into his spell.
Lu Chen pulled her hand towards him as he lowered his head. Lightly kissing the back of her hand, he continued. "I won't let you go."
Xiu Mei's courage instantly wavered with Lu Chen's actions and words. Wha--did he really just kiss h-her hand?
In reflex, she quickly pulled out her hand out of his grasp and clutched it towards her chest. She stared in disbelief at Lu Chen, her face filled with shock as she stuttered on her words remembering that soft pair of lips at the back of her hand.
"W-We'll see a-about that! Hmph!" Xiu Mei turned her head away to avoid his sly and playful gaze at her. She didn't even notice how red her cheeks and ears were at this very moment however, Lu Chen saw every bit of her reactions that he stifled a laugh.
