Because I simply love you Chapter 448: The wedding anniversary (1)

Chapter 448: The wedding anniversary (1)

The next morning Nana stretched her arms and opened her eyes as the morning sunlight softly kissed her pale skin with its gentle warmth.
A bright smile lit her face as she thought of what day it was today. Unknowingly, she became a little shy, and her cheeks blushed with a pink shade.
First wedding anniversary…
It sent butterflies in her stomach, and she softly laughed.
Nana felt a soft sensation on her cheek from her back, and a husky voice tickled her ear lobes.
“Happy first wedding anniversary, my dear wife.”
The smile on her lips widened, and she turned. Her husband was just like her, with a silly and goofy grin on his face.
Nana wrapped her hands around his neck and whispered. “Happy first wedding anniversary, my dear husband.”
His heart fluttered in joy, and he lovingly gazed at his wife, who looked beautiful everyday as always but was even prettier today than all the days before.
“One year…” he whispered, “Our marriage has completed one whole year.”
He gently caressed her cheeks and tucked the lock of her hair behind her ears.
Nana was just as overwhelmed. One year seemed to go so fast. “It feels like we married just yesterday. So many things happened in the past. Time went so quickly.”
“En.” He kissed her forehead and intertwined his fingers into his. “I have waited so long for this moment…to celebrate all my anniversaries with you. From the moment I saw you, I dreamt of nothing but this. It feels such a long wait now. But it’s all worth it if you are in my arms like this.”
Nana smiled and kissed his cheek. Jinhai held her head and pressed his lips on hers. She shut her eyes and responded by matching his vigor and pace. They kissed hard and so passionately until they had to part to catch their breaths.
“I love you, Nana.” His black orbs were focused on her brown ones.
“I love you too, Jinhai.”
Jinhai smiled. “Now, let me help you get ready?”
She smiled in amusement. “You will help me?”
“Of course. Today belongs to us. I am not leaving your side even for a moment. We will do everything together.”
“Alright, husband,” she giggled.
As soon as she got up, she was stunned to see the room’s floor all sprinkled with rose petals.
“This…”
Jinhai kissed the nape of her neck. “My wife will only walk on a bed of flowers today. A big blanket of flower petals stretched far and apart wherever put your feet.”
Nana chuckled helplessly. “Silly…”
Jinhai held her hand, and as she stepped on the petals, she asked, “Why are you standing at the side?”
“This is for you.”
Nana clung her arm into his and pulled him at her side. “This is ‘our’ marriage anniversary. We will walk together. Not just me.”
“But-“
She put her finger on his lips. “I want to walk with you together at every step in this life. Be it a bed of roses or thorns. If you are not there with me, then even the bed of these thousand flower petals is useless to me.”
His heart shook with her words, and he suddenly felt unable to say anything.
“Why are you this best?” Jinhai could only helplessly say this. “God, I love you so much…”
He pulled her in his arms and rained urgent kisses on her face as if his life depended on it. He was almost about to throw her on the bed and devour her like crazy, but it took all his willpower to stop himself.
Patience…patience…just a few hours more…
He took her to the bathroom where she saw the bathtub filled with water and rose petals, and a sweet fragrance hit her nostrils.
He leaned near her ear. “Let me undress you…”
She slightly shuddered as he slipped off her nightdress. After getting fully naked, her face flushed crimson, and she instinctively tried to cover herself.
Jinhai kissed her bare shoulder and stopped her wrists. “Don’t hide.”
He picked her up and gently placed her in the warm water, which was just the perfect temperature. He got naked himself as well and entered the giant bathtub.
Jinhai took some soap and started to wash every inch of her, which led to many passionate moans from Nana. The bathroom was filled with their husky voices for a long time as they touched and satisfied each other.
Nana stepped out with a dazed look on her face. She almost fainted in the bath. She didn’t know if her cheeks were hot because of the warm bath or the erotic time they spent there.
She sat on the bed again, and Jinhai said, “Wait a minute.”
A minute later, he entered, carrying a tray with breakfast. The delicious smell wafted through her nose, making her mouth water.
“Emmm…smells yummy!”
Jinhai smiled. “Your husband has learned to cook now. I am still far from you, but this is my most successful attempt until now.”
Nana giggled. “You even took care of our breakfast.”
“Of course. My wife will only enjoy today.”
Today, he made a traditional Japanese breakfast with egg rolls, miso soup, fried fish, and much more.
The food instantly melted in her mouth. “Yum Yum! You can totally take over Natsukashi if you want.”
“Is it good?”
“Not just good. It’s absolutely awesome! The taste and texture are just perfect! Nothing can make a chef happier than a delicious meal.”
Jinhai smiled, feeling smug. “After all, I am your husband. It was just a matter of time.”
The couple enjoyed a lovely breakfast in the equally lovely morning.
Then he insisted on helping her dress too, to which she let him to do it but feeling shy and embarrassed.
Jinhai chuckled and pecked her cheek. “Let’s go. Your surprise is waiting for you.”
Nana blushed and nodded.
—
As she stepped out, her eyes popped out of her sockets to see the floor outside similarly covered with rose petals.
He was not kidding when he said that I would walk on a bed of roses only!
She touched her forehead, chuckling to herself.
“Jinhai you….”
“Hm?”
“You are impossible.”
Jinhai grinned. “I know that.”
“Nee-chan!!!”
Yukito and Yukira hopped in to hug her with all their strength, so much that she was pushed back.
“Finally, our school project trip finished!”
“We missed you so much!”
Nana hugged them back. “I missed you too a lot. How was the trip?”
They looked exhausted. “So, tiring! But it’s finally done and just in time with your anniversary today! Happy anniversary!”
“Happy anniversary, brother-in-law!” they chirped.
They chuckled and nodded. “Thank you.”
Yukito teasingly smiled. “Wow, brother-in-law has gone all out, huh? Everywhere I can see only flowers and nothing else.”
Jinhai said, “I have to. Well, we can talk later, but now we have to leave. We are getting late.”
The twins brightened. “Oh, yes! We have already packed our stuff!”
Nana asked, “Huh? Are we going somewhere? Wait. I cannot see anybody else in the house either.”
“Nee-chan. They are already where everyone has to be. Jian and Nian are with Aunt Liu and Grandma too.”
“Only the main couple has to make the entrance.” They grinned.
Now Nana was getting more and more curious. “How long are we going to stay there?”
“A week.”
Nana widened her eyes. “A week! But the anniversary is only today. And I didn’t even pack anything! Jinhai, why didn’t you say so before?”
Jinhai pinched her cheeks. “My cute wife. Everything is already settled and packed. You don’t have to do a thing. Didn’t I tell you? You will only enjoy today.”
Nana nodded. “Alright. Oh, wait! There is still something left to pack.”
Jinhai frowned. “I have packed everything.”
Nana gave a mysterious smile and lightly flicked his nose. “But you wouldn’t have included my surprise, right? Only I know where it is.”
Jinhai raised his brow.
“Ooooohhhhh…” The twins whistled.
“I will come back in a second.”
He nodded. As Nana went away, he was about to follow her to take a sneak peek, but he heard her voice,
“Don’t follow me. That’s cheating.”
Jinhai grumbled and stood back.
“Poor brother-in-law.” The devil twins chuckled.
Nana came back, humming and carrying a bag with her. “I am ready.”
Jinhai’s brain cogs were already thinking as to what could be in the bag.
Nana rolled her eyes. “There is not much time left. Have patience, husband.”
He pouted. “Okay. Let’s go. The private jet is ready.”
—
An hour later, the plane landed at its destination. As soon as Nana stepped, a cold but salty breeze brushed past her.
The landscape was so picturesque and beautiful as if she felt she had come to fairyland.
“This place is so beautiful…”
The sky was bright and clear. Birds were happily chirping and singing amongst the clouds. And from somewhere distant, she could hear the sound of waves crashing.
“What is this place?” She asked, her chest heaving up and down in excitement.
Jinhai smiled. “Your surprise.”
