My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses Chapter 43 TIT FOR TAT PART 16

Xue Lin's hand touched something bony and cold. She gasped and swiftly moved her hand and body at the same time. Her heart shook in fear. 'What was that?' She frowned and adjusted her eyesight in the dark. Slowly, the darkness reduced a little and she was able to see a human body. The person was sitting in the stool and the face was buried in the folded left hand on the bed. Xue Lin only touched his free hand
'Wh-who is this…?' She nervously looked around. It was a luxurious bedroom. Xue Lin had seen a bedroom like this in Italy at the Mu Castle but she didn't recall being in a bedroom like this before. Seeing the unfamiliar room, her heart started to race. 'Where is this place? I don't know this place… Could it be…?'
As soon as she realized that she panicked, she looked down and saw that she was wearing the same dress before she passed out. She secretly sighed in relief. 'Is this Chen's room? We did go to his grandparents' house.'
She tried to see the person's face but she couldn't. 'He does look like Chen. Is he really sleeping or is he pretending? Should I wake him up? Why didn't I try to turn on the light? It'll make me feel safer.'
She soundlessly got up from the bed and headed towards the door. Usually, the switches are supposed to be right beside the door. However, she couldn't find the switchboard.
Her body started trembling. It wasn't that the darkness was scaring her, but being alone with a man she didn't know properly in the dark was making her uncomfortable. And also, she was feeling cold and her head was feeling dizzy. 'Maybe I should wake him up.'
She thought about the possibilities. 'Maybe I should call him. Or should I use my hand? Or maybe I should use my leg… but what if he catches my leg…'
If she could understand how bizarre her way of thinking was.
In the end, Ge Chen woke up when he sensed something soft on his head. He opened his eyes and looked up. He saw someone was poking him with his pillow. "Who…? Lin?" Since he woke up, his voice was hoarse.
"Yes." Xue Lin moved away from the bed. She was relieved. She almost started to think that she was kidnapped or taken away by someone. That thought made her scared. But it was only her imagination. She was with her husband.
"You woke up. How are you feeling now?" Ge Chen asked. He adjusted his eyes in the darkness. He saw Xue Lin's silhouette.
Xue Lin answered, "I think I have a fever."
"You do! Let me check." Ge Chen stood up and got up on the bed to check her temperature.
Xue Lin flinched. "Wait!" She realized that she raised her voice unexpectedly. She lowered her voice and said, "Turn on the light first."
Ge Chen saw that she was covering herself with the comforter. He realized that she was feeling uncomfortable since it was the first time they were in the same room and they didn't know each other that well. It was normal for her to be nervous. "…Oh, alright."
He snapped his finger once and the light was turned on.
"…" Xue Lin frowned. 'He didn't move. How is it possible… wait, the snapping sound…' She couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "How did you do that?"
Ge Chen smiled. "Like this." He snapped his fingers again and the light was turned on. This time, Xue Lin snapped her fingers and the light was turned on. "So cool!" Her eyes widened.
He looked at his wife and saw that her face was flushed. He narrowed his eyes. He was serious when he said, "You don't look good. You should lie down. I'll ask a maid to serve your meal."
Xue Lin shook her head. "No, I can't. I need to take a bath, change clothes, and then I will only sleep in this bed if the bed sheet is changed." She couldn't imagine sleeping in the same bed when she was wearing the clothes she wore outside.
'So, she is a clean freak.' Ge Chen stood up and went to his walk-in closet. While Xue Lin was sleeping, he ordered Ming Yu to buy a few sets of clothes for her. He took some clothes and placed them on the bed. "You changed into these clothes after the shower. Should I prepare a bath for you?"
"That's not necessary. You can ask the maid to change the bedsheet, pillow cover, and the comforter too." She took the clothes and got off the bed.
"I will." Ge Chen noticed how her body was shaking. 'She must be feeling weak and cold.' He strode towards her and caught her left arm. He was shocked by how warm her body was. Seeing her flinch, he said, "I'll help you walk or you might fall."
Xue Lin was also thinking that she might fall. So, she let him take her to the bathroom. The light of the bathroom turned on automatically right after she entered. After she placed the clothes on a plastic rack, she closed the door and locked it. She turned on the cold shower and sat down on the floor. The cold water made her shiver but slowly she started to feel comfortable.
She knew that she was being well-treated after she saw a set of expensive soap, shampoo, and other sanitary kits for women. She wiped her body. When she wanted to change her clothes, she noticed that there were no undergarments. She froze. She could never walk around in front of a man without wearing the undergarment.
Biting her lower lip, she took the top and then saw a pink package. She opened it and saw a set of undergarments. She sighed in relief. 'Thank goodness.'
Ge Chen was being extra careful when he told Ming Yu to buy her undergarments. He ordered to buy special sets that would be in the package. He thought that Xue Lin wouldn't like it if others saw her undergarments.
Xue Lin realized that she was shocked how sensible and gentlemanly he was. After putting on the clothes, she walked out of the bathroom. The bedsheet, pillow cover, and the comforter were changed. Even her food was served.
