Chapter 410: The Praying Plate Left by Yao Mingyue, A 3-Year Promise. (Small 9k Request for Subscription!) _3
This question should be asked by me: why was the first person to let me massage their feet not you?
Can you really bear to watch your husband massage someone else's feet?"
Xu Musen grew more agitated, feeling like a helpless housewife in a Japanese drama being taken advantage of by her boss.
An arrogant boss, a timid husband, a wronged wife.
Xu Musen rubbed away nonexistent tears.
"As the saying goes, those with intent learn without teaching, those without intent can't be taught; being a man is hard, being a good man is even harder!"
An Nuannuan: "???"
Watching his whole performance, An Nuannuan was stunned for a while. Can he really turn things around like that?
At that moment, she felt helpless like a man!
Xu Musen pressed her feet, showing a forgiving expression: "I'll forgive you this time, but don't ask such questions to make me angry in the future, understand?"
An Nuannuan's exquisite face went blank, and then she was so angry that her cheeks almost puffed up like a big bun!
But looking at him pretending to be the pitiful victim.
An Nuannuan couldn't help but burst into laughter despite being angry.
"Xu Musen, she wasn't wrong. You're a greedy bad guy!"
An Nuannuan pursed her lips, seriously criticizing him.
"I admit my punishment. How about you just give me a kick?"
Xu Musen held her feet.
"No way..."
An Nuannuan snorted, turning her head away. This pervert, that might still be a reward for him.
Xu Musen calmed down his cheeky manner, holding her feet to his chest: "I just like being under my wife's control all my life, I'll listen to you."
An Nuannuan felt the warmth and strong heartbeat of his chest through her soft soles.
In this lifetime, his heart beats with An Nuannuan's.
An Nuannuan's angry bun face seemed to turn into a soft, sweet snow cake.
She withdrew her foot from Xu Musen's arms, looking at the mountain top already faintly glowing.
"Let's go. I still want to see the sunrise."
"Okay."
Xu Musen picked up her shoes, helping her put them on, and continued walking towards the mountain top.
At dawn, the distant Golden Light Peak was almost right in front of them.
But these last hundred meters of stone steps are the limit of endurance for most people.
It was An Nuannuan's first intense exercise since her recovery, and by now she was almost exhausted.
Xu Musen supported her, each step difficult, as melted snow made the steps even slipperier.
An Nuannuan's foot almost slipped, but Xu Musen quickly pulled her into his arms, gripping the handrail tightly with one hand.
"Are you okay?"
"Okay..."
An Nuannuan shook her head, but she was indeed at her physical limit, having no strength even to lift her legs.
By now, the mountain top was gradually covered in a faint glow; the entire night's climb was for this first ray of morning light.
"Let's rest for a while." Xu Musen wanted to support her to sit on the side.
"No..." An Nuannuan shook her head, looking up at the mountain top starting to brighten, her eyes gleaming.
"In the past, when I was in a wheelchair, my dream was to go to many places with you, and now I can finally keep up with your pace..."
With a smile mixed with sweat on An Nuannuan's fair cheeks: "Now, don't ever think about leaving me behind."
In the past life, An Nuannuan was undoubtedly lonely.
No matter how tangled Yao Mingyue and Xu Musen's past was, in that life, all their space was taken up by each other.
An Nuannuan was envious.
Regret not traveling to the ends of the earth, not just for Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue, but for herself too.
Xu Musen looked into An Nuannuan's eyes, then looked up at the mountain top with a glint of sunlight rising.
He crouched down, took An Nuannuan's arm, and lifted her onto his back.
"I can do it myself..."
"But from now on, I won't leave you alone anymore either."
Xu Musen gently interrupted her, looking toward the last stretch, the sunrise was imminent from the mountain top.
From night to dawn, it's merely a brief ten-plus minutes.
An entire night's climb, missing a few minutes would lose the most breathtaking moment of the sunrise.
"And also, let me correct you on one thing: from now on, you don't need to worry about keeping up with my pace because I'll always be by your side."
Xu Musen turned his head, meeting An Nuannuan's eyes, and raised his left hand, the diamond ring on his ring finger shining bright.
"For all the scenic views that lie ahead, your husband will be there with you!"
An Nuannuan also raised her hand, overlapping their engagement rings, dazzling in the just-rising morning light on the mountain top.
Lying on Xu Musen's warm back, indeed, even when she was in a wheelchair, Xu Musen never left her side.
Now, what is there to fear?
For those truly in harmony, any place feels just a step away.
"Wife, hold tight, your husband's going to sprint!"
Xu Musen, watching the rising sun, took a deep breath.
"Mm!"
An Nuannuan tightly hugged his neck, her smile sweet and sticky.
Xu Musen mustered strength, carrying An Nuannuan step by step towards the final peak.
Finally, as the sun revealed its golden glow over the mountain ridges, they stepped onto the last stepped stone.
Laojun Mountain, Golden Light Peak, as the first morning rays fell on the shrine roof, the entire mountain top was bathed in golden light; sunlight broke over, distant peaks layered, clouds picturesque, and a half-crescent golden sunrise slowly rose.
