A Kiss That Leaves You Wanting More

“Possessive daddy type vs. cute and sunny” “Married first, fell in love later + powerful man lowers his head for love + five-year age gap” “My boss is the husband I married under a contract. What do I do? He’s so clingy!” Zhang Qingyan was the young heir to one of Beicheng’s most prestigious families. News of his discreet marriage spread like wildfire, and a curious onlooker asked why he’d married so young. He smiled faintly. “My wife is quiet and never causes trouble. She’s just my type.” It wasn’t until later that people learned Mrs. Zhang was a beautiful mute. She really was quiet and never caused trouble. Then, after going two days without seeing his wife, the young heir grew frantic. His Rayton sports car was parked beneath her dormitory, where he leaned against it, his tall figure waiting until rain began to fall. Only then did Qu Jiabao slowly make her way downstairs, carrying a black umbrella. Rain slanted through the air. Zhang Qingyan strode over and opened the umbrella, tilting it over her head. She held her phone out to him: What are you doing here, Mr. Zhang? His lashes were damp, but he showed not a trace of impatience. He smiled indulgently. “I came to take you home.” Qu Jiabao replied: I won’t go back and disturb your peace. Zhang Qingyan said nothing. He suddenly leaned down and kissed her forehead. She stared at him in shock, so he kissed her puffed-up cheek, then used the umbrella to shield them from passersby as he kissed her lips. Qu Jiabao bristled and frantically signed: Zhang Qingyan! What are you doing? There are people all around us! He hadn’t learned enough sign language to understand all that. In a classic case of reading her message and replying to something else entirely, he said gently, “I missed you too.” “I asked what you’re doing!” The mute bride suddenly spoke, like a furious little kitten. Zhang Qingyan froze, shocked and delighted. “Baobao, you can speak now?”
