It fell from his fingertips

Tang Luoqing enjoyed life by the sea exceptionally well. In just ten days, by the last day, she was reluctant to leave.

"Shall we stay a little longer?"

On the hotel balcony, Zhou Jinbai hugged Tang Luoqing from behind as she stood on the balcony looking at the sea, resting his chin on her shoulder.

Tang Luoqing looked at the azure sea in the distance and shook her head: "Forget it, you have so much to do at your company, you can't stay here every day. Let's come back next time we have a holiday."

For the past ten days, although Zhou Jinbai was on vacation, his assistant Shen would still call to ask for his opinion on things that Shen couldn't handle, and sometimes he would even be busy until late at night.

Tang Luoqing woke up several times in the middle of the night to find Zhou Jinbai not by her side. She walked out of the bedroom and saw the study light on, and could hear Zhou Jinbai's suppressed voice instructing Assistant Shen or the executives.

"Then let's wait a few months, until I finish this new project, and then I'll bring you out."

"Oh, right."

Tang Luoqing remembered something, turned around, put her arms around Zhou Jinbai's neck, and asked him, "When we came out to play during the Spring Festival, did your parents call you again? Or did you call home?"

The two got their marriage certificate on the last day before the Civil Affairs Bureau closed for the holiday. They left immediately after getting the certificate and naturally didn't go home. They didn't even go back to the Zhou family's old house on New Year's Eve.

Actually, Tang Luoqing had asked Zhou Jinbai about this matter, fearing that if the two of them spent New Year's Eve away from home, Zhou's parents would be angry and unhappy, so Zhou Jinbai insisted on not going back.

Zhou's mother did call to ask, and Zhou Jinbai said that the two of them were having fun outside and didn't plan to go back. Zhou's mother didn't say anything more, and there were no more phone calls in the following days.

Tang Luoqing knew that the main reason Zhou Jinbai chose this time for a destination wedding was that he didn't want her to face his family so early, since the relationship was indeed a bit awkward.

But there will always be times when we face things together, times when we celebrate holidays together, and Zhou Yanchen might even be there.

"We've already called. My parents want you to have fun. Instead of thinking about that, why don't you think about where you'd like to stay after we go back to China?"

Zhou Jinbai tried to change the subject: "Should we stay where we are now, or at the manor we took you to last time? It's a great place for painting, but it's a bit far from the city. However, it's about the same distance from where I work as where we live now, so don't worry about my commute. Just ask yourself where you want to live."

Since Zhou Jinbai had already said that, Tang Luoqing decided to think about it seriously and said, "How about the manor? I'm thinking... how about building a small children's playground there?"

"A children's playground?"

Zhou Jinbai was slightly taken aback: "You're planning to...have a child? So early?"

"Just keep it in mind, just in case you need it someday."

Tang Luoqing loved amusement parks when she was little. At first, her parents often took her there. Later, her mother passed away, and her father never took her there again. After that, her father also passed away, and she never went again.

Now that she has decided to be with Zhou Jinbai, she wants to have a child of her own and give the child a happy childhood.

It's like raising your childhood self all over again.

"So...starting today, you don't need to use condoms anymore, understand?"

Tang Luoqing tiptoed and kissed Zhou Jinbai's lips, saying indistinctly, "People say that babies conceived during their honeymoon are the happiest because they're conceived when their parents are most in love. So, should we...?"

"don't want."

Zhou Jinbai refused decisively, even while still kissing Tang Luoqing.

Tang Luoqing was taken aback, and tried to push Zhou Jinbai away, asking incredulously, "Why? Don't you want to have a child with both of us?"

She had always thought that Zhou Jinbai would like the child she gave birth to.

Isn't it said that a father's love for his mother is the foundation of his love for his children?

Zhou Jinbai had no idea what Tang Luoqing was thinking. His gaze turned serious as well: "I do want to, but... right now I'd rather have more time with my wife. So, honey, how about we... have children in a few years?"

Tang Luoqing frowned: "But you're already twenty-nine. In a few years you'll be over thirty. Don't you think there will be a big age gap between you and the child?"

"Is my wife... saying I'm getting old?"

The light in Zhou Jinbai's eyes dimmed instantly.

Tang Luoqing quickly hugged his waist, pressed her cheek against his chest, and comforted him, "Of course not, it's just that I want to have my own child sooner, so our world as a couple can become a family of three, wouldn't that be nice?"

"Okay, but..."

Zhou Jinbai didn't know what to say.

He had always been responsive to Tang Luoqing's requests, and he would fulfill any request Tang Luoqing made, no matter how excessive. However, this one left him somewhat at a loss.

"Honey, if you had a child, would you put the child first?"

Zhou Jinbai knew that once a woman had a child, the child became her only weakness. He wouldn't compete with Luo Qing's child for her affection, but he hoped that this simple world of two could last a little longer.

The next moment, Tang Luoqing shook her head: "You and the child are tied for second place."

Zhou Jinbai was taken aback, but then realized that his wife meant that after she ranked first, he and the child were tied for second, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright then, let's let the little guy see the world now."

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Luoqing was lifted up by Zhou Jinbai and carried to the bedside.

"Wait, aren't we about to go to the airport? Now? Can you make it in time?"

When Tang Luoqing was gently placed on the bed, she covered Zhou Jinbai's lips as he tried to kiss her.

"Then let's change the flight to this afternoon."

After saying this, Zhou Jinbai kissed Tang Luoqing's palm, which was covering her lips.

Seeing that she wanted to say something more, he gently traced the lines on her palm with the tip of his tongue.

Tang Luoqing's palms itched as she loosened her grip, and the next moment, the man's lips landed on hers.

Breaths mingled, and outside the window, the sea surged with waves. Under the warm sun, the waves crashed against the rocks, splashing up large sprays of water and white foam.

The temperature gradually rose, and then the sun gradually sank below the horizon.

After an unknown amount of time, the unconscious Tang Luoqing was carried away from the hotel by Zhou Jinbai and boarded a private jet.

He bent down to fasten Tang Luoqing's seatbelt and pulled his sleeping wife into his arms.

Zhou Jinbai lowered his head, looking at the woman lying in his arms, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

After a long while, he leaned in and placed a kiss on her forehead.
