The next morning, Lanni woke up to Xiehan's intense gaze on her.
"Good morning, husband." She was already getting used to the word but she felt butterflies in her stomach just saying it out aloud. She could finally confirm that she was not dreaming. She was really married to Xiehan now. He really was her husband.
He silently stared down at her, making her cock her head in curiosity. "Why are you giving me that look? And, husband, why do you look unhappy?"
He finally leaned down and kissed her forehead. "I'm still trying to process this surreal dream."
It turned out, he also felt like it was a dream. It was one thing to be in a relationship, they had been together for more than three years after all. Being engaged was no huge deal either—at least not compared to this. And the fact that their marriage almost seemed to have dropped out of nowhere made it feel like an illusion.
"Say that again." He whispered against her forehead as he kissed it.
