My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses

’Uuu... my right arm...’ She tried to sit up but her right arm was throbbing in pain. She couldn’t move a finger. It was hard to move her hand. She gritted her teeth and got up from the bed. She went to the washroom and freshened up. However, it didn’t help her at all. Thus, she turned on the shower and let the cool water wash away her tiredness.

Fifteen minutes later, she came out wearing a bathrobe and saw Ge Chen sitting on the bed. She froze. The morning light came through the window and fell on his body. The sleeping robe moved away and showed his muscled chest. It could make any girl’s throat dry.

Ge Chen’s grey eyes flickered in the sunlight. His six packs showed that he greatly cared about his body. His toned muscles showed how healthy he was. He looked like a sculpture came to life. Even the most handsome Greek God would feel ashamed in front of him.

Xue Lin tried to compare him with the Greek Gods’ sculptures she saw in Europe. She still felt that her husband was more beautiful. She sensed pride in her chest. She thanked God for this wonderful feast for the eyes in the morning and averted her gaze reluctantly. She said, "Good morning."

Ge Chen also seemed to notice her. He slowly looked at her and gently smiled at her. "Good morning." He felt his heart calmed down after seeing her coming out of the bathroom. Her white jade-like skin glowed as the sunlight hit her body. The white bathrobe looked less attractive against her skin. Her dark brown hair seemed darker as it was wet. She gathered her hair on the right shoulder. Droplets of water fell from her wet strands. Her red lips looked like a ripe fruit.

His eyes gazed at her lips for a moment before he looked at her panda eyes. He greeted her, "Good morning... but didn’t you have a good sleep?" He wondered, ’Is it because this is a new environment or it is because she was too tensed around me?’

Xue Lin didn’t want to worry him when he was being so considerate. "I’m fine. The eyebags will go away in a week. It’s not the first time I’m having it."

Ge Chen didn’t look satisfied with her answer. But he didn’t probe any further. He stood up and headed toward the washroom. Before he went inside, he said, "If you are hungry, you can go first."

"No, I’ll wait for you." Xue Lin said and went to the walk-in closet.

Ge Chen’s lips held a smile as he went inside. He was feeling fuzzy in his heart. He freshened up and met his wife in the balcony. It seemed she liked the swing he ordered for her. Xue Lin was looking outside in a daze. It looked like she was thinking about something deeply. She was wearing a yellow t-shirt and a white skirt. Her hair was still wet. He walked behind her and touched her wet hair. "Your hair is still wet. Do you want me to dry it for you?"

Xue Lin was startled but she didn’t gasp or scream. She looked behind her and saw him. Her unsettled gaze calmed down and she looked relieved. "No, I want it like this. It helps me to keep my head cool."

Ge Chen said, "You will catch cold like this, and I’m not sure if you know it but it will weaken your hair and increase hair fall."

"I know it already." Xue Lin smiled. "Chen, you are my husband, not my mother. Please don’t act like one. A mother is one of the things I don’t want in my life."

Ge Chen paused before replying, "I’m sorry if I made you remember anything painful-"

Xue Lin shook her head. "You didn’t. Let’s go downstairs. I’m hungry." She stood up and walked away. Ge Chen followed after her.

They met Su Fengfei and Gu Xiali in the garden. They were sitting and enjoying the natural beauty. Ming Yu and Louis hadn’t woken up yet. It didn’t look like they would wake up anytime soon.

Ge Chen and Xue Lin greeted the old couple and they headed to the direction of the dining room. Xue Lin wasn’t able to look around yesterday. But today, she looked around and she liked the interior design of the house. "I like the decoration. It has a peaceful and warm feeling to it."

"My mother decorated it in her free time." Ge Chen said.

"She is an extraordinary person." Xue Lin was said that she wasn’t able to meet a lovely person like Su Yin, Ge Chen’s mother.

While they dined, two footmen were behind them. Xue Lin looked at her husband and his grandparents. ’It feels different when one gets married.’ She couldn’t describe her feeling but she didn’t hate this new experience.

After breakfast, the four of them went to the rose garden and had lemon tea together. The head Butler Ru Shan placed two newspapers on the tea table and served tea.

Gu Xiali said, "Xiao Lin, haven’t you slept well? You look tired."

Xue Lin sipped on the cup and replied, "I’ll get used to this place soon. There is nothing to worry about."

"Don’t pressure yourself. Go easy and relax. Look around if you want to." Gu Xiali was a strict woman but she also knew how to care. Yesterday, she saw how Xue Lin defeated Ge Chuan Li and Bai Yue with her sharp, poisonous tongue. She began to admire this little girl.

Su Fengfei asked, "Lass, do you know how to play Go?"

"Yes, I do." Xue Lin nodded.

"I knew it!" Su Fengfei cheered. "Let’s play together. What do you say?"

"I would love to." Xue Lin’s face warmed a little. She never had a family conversation before. She liked to be around these people. They made her feel comfortable.

Ge Chen interrupted, "I need to show her around. You two can play later."
