Wooing my Bodyguard Wife

"Good," Tai Cheng said, clearing his throat as he snickered internally. This boy was clearly not a morning person after all!

But if this boy wanted to win his approval, he was going to need to do a lot more than wave a thick stack of cash around and bribe his way to their good books!

Tai Cheng was going to enjoy making him suffer some hardship - he can't be giving his daughter to some man that didn't know how to slog after all!

"I'll walk you out! Come on!" Xue Ning said before her father could continue speaking. If he had his way, he might have Sun Jingwei cleaning manure from the neighbour's cows, and that would be too much!

(Even if Jingwei would make a very hot farmer, her brain thought traitorously.)

"Okay…" Jingwei said as he followed her obediently outside, his mind still reeling from the knowledge of a 4am wake-up call - wait, it would be even earlier than that, because he had to arrive at her house at 4am!

"I can't believe I'll see you and your father in less than…6 hours," Jingwei said, mentally counting. His voice sounded a little faint.

"You'll be fine," Xue Ning said with confidence that she did not feel, her hands automatically reaching out for his. "He's not going to murder you. I think."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence," Jingwei said, pulling her closer. He wrapped his arms around her waist, relishing in finally getting to hold her and breathe in her scent. It steadied his nerves somewhat, and he liked staring down at Xue Ning's beautiful eyes, illuminated by the moonlight.

Finally he got to spend some private time with his wife without the judgemental gazes of her family and random people!

"Missed you so much today," Jingwei murmured into her ear, squeezing her tightly. If he had his way, he would have snuck her away, or climbed into her room via her window just so they could share a bed again! "Please don't divorce me if I'm bad at meditation."

"I won't. I'm not good at it either," Xue Ning said, stroking the back of his head even as her own heart began beating faster, so much so that she's sure Jingwei could hear it.

She had experienced many firsts with Jingwei, but this was another one - she never had the experience of walking her boyfriend out after he visited her home, and now they were standing on her front porch, embracing in the moonlight while cicadas buzzed in the summer air.

This was just like a drama! If future-Xue Ning told her past self that this would happen and she would love every second of it (and of him), she would have checked herself into an asylum.

But the truth was undeniable. Sun Jingwei was her boyfriend! A real boyfriend that she did coupley things with! Her face burned at the thought.

"What are you thinking of?" Jingwei asked, sensing that Xue Ning was strangely quiet. A quick glance showed her flushed face. He bopped her nose, delighting in the way she went cross-eyed for a moment just to keep him in view.

"Oh ho ho, it looks like someone is thinking perverted thoughts I see!" He teased, giving her butt a firm squeeze that had her squirming. "Sorry that we can't continue from where we left off in the kitchen though," he continued regrettably, nosing at her throat.

"You're a pervert too," Xue Ning muttered, her ears red. "Shouldn't couples be kissing in this scenario? Why are you thinking of doing other things already?"

"If you wanted to kiss me, you should just say so!" Jingwei said, staring down at her smugly, but making no move to kiss her.

He was really waiting for her to say those words, while her parents were still in the house! Even if her mother was sleeping, she had a feeling that her father was spying on them from the window.

She whipped her head around and yes - her father was doing an absolutely piss-poor job of pretending he wasn't peeking at them from the window.

"Dad! Go inside!" She tried to shoo him in with her hand, but her father merely looked at her, affronted.

"I just want to read the newspaper by the window, is that a crime? This is my house!"

"Dad, your newspaper is upside down. And there's no light outside!" Xue Ning exclaimed, rolling her eyes.

"Well! Maybe I'm just training my mind and my eyes!" her father spluttered as a retort. He then aggressively flipped the pages of the newspaper. It made a loud fluttering noise.

It was still upside down. Jingwei hastily stifled a laugh.

"Go inside!" Xue Ning demanded, as though she was the parent and he was the child. "Unless you want to watch me makeout with Jingwei! I swear! Don't you think I don't dare!"

"You -!" Her father could only take a deep breath as he aggressively rolled up the newspaper and jabbed it at Jingwei threateningly. Of course he knew his daughter dared! His little girl had the guts of a lioness - but he could still scare her puppyish boyfriend!

Jingwei was a full grown man who had endured many threats from his own father, so he was proud to say he only let out a little 'meep' as Xue Ning's father looked like he longed to shove the newspaper down his throat. He stood his ground!

"If you don't leave, I'm going to kiss him right in front of you! You made me do this! Kissing him in three, two, one!"

Her father made a face of disgust, and he must have turned away, but Jingwei wasn't paying any attention to him.

Xue Ning aggressively tugged him down by his collar to land a firm kiss on his lips. He responded instinctively, hoisting her up so that she could wrap her legs around his hips as he massaged her ass, exploring her mouth with his tongue.

Beside them, their two bodyguards could only stare up at the moon in silence.

They had to wake up in the wee hours of the morning, because Sun Jingwei's father-in-law wanted to torture him.

To add insult to injury, they sadly had no one to kiss to make up for it.
