After saying that, he smiled and once again kissed her lips, which were slightly parted due to the beauty of his heart. His kiss was long and so intense. It was warm, passionate, and filled with an incomparable tenderness.

Jiang Ruolan still wanted to know if his birthday was today or tomorrow, but there was no chance for her to say it. His lips were pressed against hers tightly. Xian Zihao's long finger slowly caressed her body. Teasing and provoking her desire.

Suddenly a bolt of lightning struck the dark night sky. It was raining outside the window, and thunder's sound could be heard in the distance. The wind and rain outside the hotel made the room's atmosphere even tenser.

Jiang Ruolan gasped for breath as she slowly opened her eyes. Under the dim yellow light of the wall lamp, his drooping eyelashes reflected an exceptionally beautiful reflection. Xian Zihao's eyelashes were so long that even she, a woman, was jealous of him.

At the same time, Jiang Ruolan felt his fingers graze the wound on her forehead, which had already healed.

Only the scars remained. Although the wound was not large, but it was deep and still needed a few days for the scar to disappear. Xian Zihao brushed her hair away and rubbed the scar gently.

"Ruolan, don't get injured anymore." His low, husky voice was filled with tenderness.

Jiang Ruolan took his hand away from her forehead and pressed it against her face, "Zihao, you are my husband and Xian Family has given me a warm home. The whole Xian Family is my closest kins. Protecting them is not only your responsibility. I am your wife and I am also responsible for protecting grandfather. It was just a small accident."

Up to this point, her mind was still distracted by Jiang Yijun's problem. Xian Zihao's gloomy look made Jiang Ruolan realize something. It seemed like he already knew something, but he didn't say anything.

Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but bury her face in his chest, inhaling the smell that solely belongs to him.

She closed her eyes and listened to his heartbeat. It was this smell, this touch... She had been waiting all her life for this special feeling.

Xian Zihao lightly kissed her ears and nibbled on them. Jiang Ruolan had been in his embrace for a long time. It was raining outside, and even the cold air in the room was suffocating. She subconsciously stuck close to him.

Xian Zihao slowly lowered his head and nibbled at her shoulder. His palm slid down her back and beneath her. His fingers were resting on her private parts. He lightly fiddled with the secret location.

Jiang Ruolan uncomfortably moved her waist up slightly and Xian Zihao took this opportunity to enter his finger.

"Zi..Zihao."

He seemed to have reached his limit as he turned his head to bite her earlobe and fiercely said, "Next time you seduce me like this, I can't guarantee that I will still be able to keep you prepared for so long."

As soon as he said that, he picked her up and made her kneel on the bed. Her body was tightly hugged, and the strong male body was pressed down on her back with the strength that would not harm a child, overlapping closely.

Seeing that Xian Zihao didn't come closer, as if he was deliberately tormenting her, Jiang Ruolan panted slightly. She tried her best to straighten her body to prevent him from succeeding. Unexpectedly, he suddenly pushed her down and pushed inside in one go.

"Ah …" Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but cry out in a low voice. At the same time, she shyly buried her face in the blanket.

Xian Zihao fiercely invaded her lips before he finally released her.

***

Jiang Ruolan smiled as she got out of bed, went to find water to drink, and showering again to clean her sweaty body. Xian Zihao slowly followed her from behind.

Since she was pregnant and although Xian Zihao clearly wasn't satisfied with what they had done, as he hugged her and kissed her, he didn't mess around. He didn't want her to fall on the wet tiles accidentally. He carefully hugged her waist while running his hand along her shoulder, down her chest, and then gently caressing her stomach.

After taking a shower, Jiang Ruolan walked out and changed into a bathrobe. She wiped her hair with the towel and watched Xian Zihao walk out of the bathroom with a happy expression on her face.

She then immediately jumped into his arms. She raised her head and looked at him, "Hubby, was your birthday really yesterday or today? It's midnight now."

Xian Zihao smiled as he caressed her slightly wet hair. After looking at her for a long time, he then said in a low voice, "Now."

"Really?" Immediately, Jiang Ruolan's eyes lit up and she hurriedly changed her clothes. "That's great! Luckily I didn't miss it. Zihao, hurry up, wear your clothes! We are going out."

"What are you doing?" He looked at the time.

"I remember that yesterday when we took a taxi back, we passed a famous sweet shop nearby. I have seen it on the internet before. I heard that the cake in this cafe is delicious, and it must be prepared from dawn every day. Since we haven't slept yet, let's line up and order your birthday cake."

After saying that, Jiang Ruolan immediately ran to change clothes. Xian Zihao didn't stop her but looked at her expression with a smile. Seeing Jiang Ruolan wasn't willing to miss his birthday, his eyes were filled with warmth and emotions.

"It's just a birthday, and I'm not a child. Do I have to eat cake?" Xian Zihao leaned against the wall and laughed as he watched her change.

Jiang Ruolan paused for a moment before turning back and saying seriously, "This is your first birthday that we will both celebrate after our marriage."

As she brushed her hair, she said, "It's a pity we're in the United States. If we are at Greenville Residence, I'll make your birthday cake."

Xian Zihao walked over and gently held her in his arms. He gently kissed her and said, "Don't worry. We'll have a lifetime. You'll definitely have plenty of opportunities to make my birthday cake."

Jiang Ruolan's lips curved up a little as she tiptoed forward to kiss his chin.

Seeing that Jiang Ruolan was adamant and didn't want to miss his birthday, Xian Zihao could only smile and accompany her out of the hotel. They took a taxi to the famous dessert shop near Boston Polytechnic University's campus and queued up.

While the two of them were queuing up, the boys and girls who were also queuing up were mostly lovers. Seeing Jiang Ruolan standing next to her husband with her belly puffed out and a blissful expression on her face, they all revealed an envious expression.

Xian Zihao also held her hand tightly to prevent the two of them from being swept away by the crowd.

"Oh right, when did dad come from New York?" Jiang Ruolan suddenly asked.

They had been in the United States for many days, but they never went to see Jiang Yijun's mother. In fact, she had always been worried about this matter and always felt that something was pulling her to that place.
