Wang Deming smiled at her and nodded his head and enjoyed her look of pretension with her struggle.
She is clearly struggling between two emotions, to speak directly or to continue her act and wait until he speaks first. Her struggle made Wang Deming find her cute and adorable which is in contrast to her fierceness from the time she fought with him before.
He did not change his expression and continued smiling casually as he greeted her softly, "Lady Jiang."
He then came near her and whispered in her ear, "Or should I call you princess Jiang?"
Now that they were married, it is inevitable that her title would change too. Hence she is now officially a princess. Though it was common knowledge, the way Wang Deming came near her and breathed in her ear made the words sound more flirty and lewd, making Jiang Xiurong blush in an instant.
Wang Deming was so near to her that he observed the change in her skin almost instantly as soon as it happened. His smile widened looking at the reaction that he got from her.
Her eyes fluttered at their close proximity while she tried to move away from him by taking a step back. But Wang Deming did not give her a chance to stay away from him as he took another step towards her in an instant.
His masculene scent invaded her nose as soon as he reached her and stood more closer to her than before. Her breathing stagnated as she couldn't take any air inside with him being so close to her.
Her face turned more red as she tried to avoid his imposing eyes while her eyes fluttered like butterfly wings. Being in close proximity with her, Wang Deming observed every little action of hers and felt that she looked so beautiful.
'So this woman can be beautiful not only when she is fierce but also when she is flustered?' He suddenly felt more lucky that he did not waste time and got her home as soon as his eyes laid on her. If he was any late, she would have been taken away by some other man.
He felt anger rise within himself when he thought that such a beautiful look would have been given to some other man who is not himself. He just couldn't accept that there would have been such a chance.
With every passing second, he felt more possessive with her and also felt more lucky and he praised himself for being fast enough.
He slowly raised his hand to slowly trace a line on the side of her cheek with his fingers and feel the softness of her skin.
Jiang Xiurong closed her eyes subconsciously when she was touched that way. She forgot herself and enjoyed the moment with him.
But that moment stayed only for a couple of seconds as she suddenly came back to her senses and opened her eyes to look at him to find that he was looking at her with a teasing glint in his eyes.
He was actually waiting for her to show her true self in front of him before going anymore closer to her. He wanted to be with her. But only with the true her. And not with her facade.
But he wanted to make her come out of her facade by herself instead of starting the topic by himself. He actually was having fun with these complex emotions that she is showing in front of him.
She too understood his intentions as soon as she looked at his eyes. His eyes showed that he knows everything and is waiting for the time when she would reveal herself.
Looking at these eyes, she fell into a predicament. She wondered if she should wait for him to speak by himself or if she should take the initiative to talk about it.
When she looked at him, she felt that he would wait for however long she wanted to keep up with the facade. But on the other side, she wanted to know his intentions as fast as she could.
She is already worried enough about the reason behind his actions of proposing a marriage to her. If this was prolonged anymore, she may not handle pressure.
It is not that she can't handle any pressure, but this issue is of great importance which she couldn't ignore easily.
Hence she immediately removed her facade and looked at Wang Deming straight into his eyes.
