This sudden proclamation of love brought indescribable happiness to Shui Xian. Wasn't that a proclamation of love? If that wasn't, then he didn't know what else was.
He was so taken aback by this that he had no words. No words at all.
It wasn't just an 'I love you' from her. That phrase was nothing before what she just said.
For a long time already, he had come to peace with the fact that he couldn't expect his wife to be the same as others. He was ready to not hear that she loved him. Even if he could feel it, it was entirely different when she said it. It held some different emotions when she said it.
Shui Xian held up his hands to cover his face as he didn't dare look into her eyes. He wasn't able to do so. He felt like he'd get greedier if he did look into her eyes right now. Besides, he was so beyond himself right now with joy and really wasn't sure what to say right now or what to do.
