The night was gentle and tender, and warm, soft yellow light filled the bedroom.

Nan Zhi leaned lazily against Li Sinian's chest, most of her body pressed against his warm chest.

Li Sinian held the voice training book between his fingertips, turning the pages gently. He lowered his head and softly called out, "Wife."

Nan Zhi slowly raised her eyes, her gaze filled with tender affection as she looked at the man in her arms.

Li Sinian lowered his head and gently kissed the back of her hand, his voice filled with anticipation: "Can you try a little harder? When we have our wedding ceremony, can you say 'I do' to me in person?"

"Also, try calling me 'husband' like I do~"

As he spoke, he turned the page back to that page and glanced at her helplessly: "Every time I ask you to practice this page, you quickly flip over it, deliberately avoiding reading it."

Upon hearing this, Nan Zhiqing's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she quickly shook her head gently.

She dared not speak easily.

Last time, she spoke haltingly, and when she finally managed to utter a sound, the man was overjoyed and tormented her endlessly throughout the night.

He nudged her like a madman, wanting her to call him "husband" a few more times.

Since then, she has had reservations and subconsciously skips this page whenever she turns to it.

Li Sinian reached out and gently pinched her soft little face with his fingertips, his tone tinged with a hint of grievance: "What does shaking your head mean? Aren't I your husband?"

He lifted her hand, the one adorned with the diamond ring, which shone brilliantly under the light.

"The ring is already firmly on your finger."

"You can't keep denying it!"

The man thought to himself, "Anyway, Pei Jingzhi will never be able to rise to power again in this lifetime. He should be disheartened by now."

Because he invited Pei Jingzhi to watch a play, a very good one.

He showed him the live stream of his proposal to his wife, Zhizhi, and Pei Jingzhi must have been disgusted.

That's right, Li Sinian is indeed petty.

Nan Zhi lowered her eyes to look at the sparkling diamond ring on her ring finger.

The ring is quite heavy; it feels substantial on the hand.

Li Sinian wouldn't let her take it off; the ring was the perfect size for her finger, and she couldn't remove it even if she wanted to.

Li Sinian lowered his head and gently kissed her lips, a sly glint in his eyes: "Wife, I'll show you a magic trick."

Nan Zhi looked up at him curiously, waiting for his performance.

When did he learn magic tricks?

Li Sinian opened his palm and said seriously, "Look, I have two gifts in my hand now, one of which is a small cake."

"Now I'll open the mini cakes. Zhizhi, can you hold the box for me?"

Nan Zhi didn't think much of it and subconsciously opened her palm.

With a fluid feint, the man made it appear as if he had placed the box in her palm out of thin air.

"I'll get the spoon, Zhizhi, have a bite." Li Sinian acted very convincingly, then pretended to scoop up some cake and put it in his own mouth, squinting his eyes, "Hmm, I got some too, it's sweet strawberry flavor."

"Child, now do you believe I have two gifts and I can do magic?"

Nan Zhi watched his serious, pantomime-free performance, her face showing utter speechlessness. She thought to herself, "Does he think I'm some kind of child or an idiot?"

She shook her head vigorously.

Her grandmother had always told her not to play with people who were mentally challenged.

She shook her head vigorously, indicating that she didn't believe it at all.

Li Sinian curled his lips into a triumphant smile, his gaze falling on her still outstretched palm: "Then why did you obediently reach out and hold the packaging box for me just now?"

Nan Zhi paused, belatedly realizing that she had unknowingly been tricked by him.

"Now, do you believe I have two gifts in my hands?"

Still don't believe it

"Very well, now, I'll give you a gift."

Li Sinian once again put on a performance without any props, handing something out of thin air, and what should have been air unexpectedly became a delicate object in her palm.

Nan Zhi lowered her head, and in a daze, she seemed to see a radiant phoenix pendant lying quietly in her palm.

Her eyes lit up immediately.

"I told you there would be a second gift."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Sinian raised his hand and took out a box of sweet and tempting strawberry cakes from somewhere, placing it firmly in her hands.

He leaned down and whispered in her ear, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe, his voice low and suggestive: "Wife, congratulations on being proposed to."

Nan Zhi held the cake, her gaze falling on the phoenix pendant in her palm.

He actually remembered...

He said he would carve a phoenix for her before his car accident. She originally thought that Li Sinian would not remember it after his memory was confused following the accident.

Li Sinian reached out and steadily pulled her into his embrace, explaining in a low voice, "I personally carved this pendant for a long time."

"My memory is confused after the car accident, and in my muddled state, I even remembered it as carving chicks."

"Thankfully, we managed to salvage the situation in the end. Honey, I kept my promise to you."

Nan Zhi turned around, handed the phoenix pendant to him, and slightly turned her body to indicate that he should put it on for her.

The man sincerely praised, "My wife looks good in anything."

Nan Zhi gently wrapped her arms around his neck, leaned forward slightly, and placed her soft lips on his cheek, leaving a warm kiss.

Li Sinian's lips curled up uncontrollably from her kiss, and he immediately brought his other cheek closer, saying, "Give me a kiss here too."

Nan Zhi placed a kiss on his other cheek.

Having tasted the sweetness, the man pressed his luck, coaxing in a low voice, "Wife, give me a few more kisses."

Nan Zhi simply stretched out her two small hands, pinched his cheeks, cupped his face, and kissed him repeatedly.

One, two, dozens of soft, tender kisses covered his cheeks, chin, and lips.

Li Sinian, who is usually thick-skinned and always likes to tease her, was instead made to feel hot-eared by her enthusiastic offensive.

He shrank back slightly, a faint blush spreading across his eyes. Even his breathing slowed down a beat. This man, who had never known what face was, was actually embarrassed by her kiss.

The man reached out and grasped her wandering wrist, chuckling softly, "Alright, alright, wife, if you keep kissing me like this, I might lose control."
