Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1040: My Husband Is a Strong Man (5)

He held the person lying in bed within his embrace.

He caressed her face, seemingly without the intention to awaken her from her slumber. Would waking her up be useful? Not really, instead, it might just make her sad.

At this moment, he was forced to make the same choice as that man.

"Nuannuan, you know that when I face you—I can’t hold up as well as you when facing me—" A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Yebai’s mouth. This expression, if shown on a Weibo post for his global fans, would certainly shock all his followers.

Xiao Yebai had always been quite dashing, with a leisurely attitude of viewing life from a distance, which is why he was admired by so many, even if he had a sharp tongue.

Perhaps in the past, he couldn’t even imagine a day like this would come for him.

He really couldn’t hold on, so he admitted his cowardice; he couldn’t bear to see her cry, to be heartbroken, especially because of him, it was really something that tormented him endlessly.

He gently kissed her forehead, cheeks, nose, lips, and then her belly, lightly stroking. After a while, he squinted his eyes, and it seemed as though there was indeed something inside, pressing against the palm of his hand.

"Why such strength, have girls nowadays turned into tough women?" The soon-to-be-dad grumbled, and it seemed this remark instantly quieted the force pressing against his palm significantly.

"Oh right, your mom is always very quiet, she’s a woman who doesn’t like to speak, teasing words out of her is hard. It’s good for girls to be a little quiet." After earnestly advising the little one in his wife’s belly, Yebai suddenly remembered something and sighed, "Of course, it’s best you listen to your mom, not me, because I listen to your mom."

As a result, the little one dared not move, not daring to even slightly wiggle, perhaps feeling he, as the dad, was too cunning and might be setting a trap.

Xiao Yebai felt the little one under his palm quiet down, thus allowing him to happily continue hugging his wife, lying down and fiercely kissing her. Because next, he had no idea when he’d be able to kiss her like this again.

When Gu Nuan opened her eyes, the first sensation was a strange feeling on her body.

Could it be she wasn’t covered by a blanket? After feeling around, it seemed she was, but her clothes were gone. A hand lay on her.

She should have been startled, but upon thinking, who else in this world could’ve done this to her? Wasn’t it just that, as she once told Melissa, the big white dog that would crawl back to her side even in death?

The big white dog that loved to cling to her had finally clung back to her now.

That hand, firmly gripping her own without letting go, even as the sound of sleep came from his nostrils.

Gu Nuan quietly turned her head, gazing at the face right before her eyes, so close she could touch it anytime, touch it however she liked, torment it however she wished.

If possible, she truly wanted to hold and torment this handsome face before her, for he didn’t adhere to the agreed contract previously, leaving without her consent, causing her longing.

Her hand reached out, slowly stroking his face, feeling every contour until she reached his chin, where an unshaven stubble had grown considerably.

He, who liked cleanliness and was a perfectionist, was always most concerned about the cleaning and grooming of his face daily.

Now, he hadn’t even bothered to trim his stubble, sleeping soundly.

Gu Nuan’s heart tightened, suddenly recalling when she first found him, he was just like this, unconscious and constantly asleep.
