Here’s the corrected and proofread version:
It was late at night, and the villa’s exterior lights emitted a captivating radiance. A gentle breeze swept in, carrying a refreshing coolness.
Gu Qingcheng received no response from Huo Sicheng. He had neglected to escort her back to her room.
Her heart quickened its pace.
“Let me go,” she carefully struggled, her voice asserting itself. “Huo Sicheng, where are you taking me?”
“I’ll drown you by the lake.”
Amused by his seemingly serious words, Gu Qingcheng couldn’t help but find humor in the situation.
“You’re quite weak now, and you’re in a wheelchair. Are you seriously considering throwing me?” She couldn’t help but tease him. “I might as well toss you into the lake.”
“I really wish I could just drop you to the ground, so you wouldn’t have a chance to resist,” Huo Sicheng playfully smiled, interrupting their stroll to plant a tender kiss on Gu Qingcheng’s lips. Speaking in a hushed tone, he reassured, “Don’t worry, I can’t bring myself to let you go like that.”
Gu Qingcheng’s proud snort followed. “If you dared to throw me into the water, not only would your wife disappear, but I’d also make sure to haunt you for the rest of your life.”
Observing Gu Qingcheng’s attempt at a threatening expression, Huo Sicheng found it irresistibly adorable, causing a smile to grace his lips.
Seated upon Huo Sicheng’s lap, Gu Qingcheng plucked lotus leaves from the lake’s surface as they moved. The air bore the invigorating aroma of the water.
As they continued, the scent of lily of the valley grew stronger in the air. Eventually, Gu Qingcheng was met with a sight that left her stunned.
Before her sprawled a sea of lily of the valley. Beneath the illumination of the lights, the blossoms displayed a spectrum of colors, resembling a dream or even a fairyland.
She gazed at the sea of flowers, and in return, Huo Sicheng looked at her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn his eyes, her initial surprise was replaced by happiness.
She was happy, and he was content.
But, underneath the surface, a hint of unease glimmered in his eyes. The overpowering fragrance of the flowers led him to raise his hand, rubbing his nose in discomfort.
“Wow…” Unable to contain herself, Gu Qingcheng exclaimed in surprise. Urging Huo Sicheng excitedly, she exclaimed, “Put me down quickly!”
Huo Sicheng released his hold on Gu Qingcheng, watching her dash into the sea of flowers with unadulterated joy.
However, due to his pollen allergy, he sneezed a few times, hampered by his distance from Gu Qingcheng.
Inside the Wanmei Villa’s bedroom, lily of the valley flowers – specially imported for her – filled the air with their scent.
Being allergic to pollen, Huo Sicheng relied on daily allergy medication. He was determined not to spoil her mood. Even today, he had taken extra precautions, though their effects hadn’t yet manifested.
In the midst of the sea of flowers, Gu Qingcheng stood, inhaling the beloved scent of lilies. Eyes closed in a state of contentment and happiness, she savored the moment.
“Do you enjoy it?” Huo Sicheng’s resonant voice found its way to Gu Qingcheng’s ears. She turned to him, a bright smile gracing her lips as she nodded enthusiastically.
“I love it, so much.”
Seeing her transformation from discomfort to unbridled happiness warmed Huo Sicheng’s heart.
“As long as it brings you joy.”
Amidst the abundance of beautiful lilies, Gu Qingcheng’s previous embarrassment toward Huo Sicheng was washed away.
Taking a handful of lily of the valley, she extended it to Huo Sicheng with both hands. “Here, some flowers for you.”
Huo Sicheng’s smile deepened as he accepted the offering. He plucked a lily of the valley and placed it gently near her ear before taking the flowers she had given him.
“Such a fragrant gift,” he commented, “and you’re even more fragrant.”
Gu Qingcheng’s hand moved to touch the lily beside her ear. Her cheeks were tinged with a rosy hue, and her eyes held a shy glint.
“Huo Sicheng, there are so many lily of the valley flowers.”
“Call me hubby,” Huo Sicheng’s eyes softened. “Let me explain.”
“Hubby,” Gu Qingcheng eagerly embraced the term, her voice taking on a coquettish note. “Go ahead, tell me.”
Huo Sicheng enjoyed the affectionate way Gu Qingcheng addressed him, finding her cuteness reminiscent of a young girl.
His thoughts drifted back to their shared history, a reflection on his childhood. He remembered the darkness that engulfed him after losing his parents and how she appeared, a small girl with wide eyes.
In her gaze, he was all she had. She gifted him a genuine smile he would carry in his heart forever.
“I know you adore lily of the valley, so I cultivated this sea of flowers just for you.”
Taken aback, Gu Qingcheng turned to Huo Sicheng, skepticism in her eyes. “Do you think I’ll believe that?”
Holding Gu Qingcheng’s hand, a hint of bitterness flashed in Huo Sicheng’s gaze.
“No need to guess. I know you won’t believe me.”
“At least you’re aware of your limits.” Gu Qingcheng’s playful remark was followed by a deliberate statement. “You’re a grown man, so you must be showering some wild woman with flowers.”
Arching an eyebrow, Huo Sicheng retorted, “You’re that wild woman.”
Gu Qingcheng withdrew her hand, her glare directed at him. “I’m not a wild woman. I’m your wife, and you’re the husband I’ve proudly married.” Huo Sicheng’s lips curled slightly, his silence speaking volumes.
Observing his lack of response, Gu Qingcheng quipped with a touch of sourness, “Is this field of flowers planted by the elusive ‘white moonlight’?” Huo Sicheng maintained his silence.
With pursed lips, Gu Qingcheng withdrew her hand from Huo Sicheng’s grasp.
“Your silence is quite telling.”
“Are you feeling jealous?” Huo Sicheng inquired, a playful note in his voice.
“I’m not jealous,” Gu Qingcheng retorted, rolling her eyes at Huo Sicheng. “I’m going to seize this moonlight opportunity and head to the flower garden.” Suppressing her jealousy was a futile effort. The jar of jealousy had been overturned repeatedly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, she resolved to clear her mind of negativity and focus on enjoying the sea of flowers.
Huo Sicheng could discern Gu Qingcheng’s discontent.
Although he had spoken the truth, she remained skeptical.
After wandering for a while, Gu Qingcheng returned to her room accompanied by Huo Sicheng.
Her cheeks were still warm as she surveyed the room, memories of their passionate encounter flooding her mind.
Exerting effort to regain her composure, she addressed Huo Sicheng,
“Get some sleep. I’ll stay here by your side.”
“No.” Huo Sicheng’s resolve remained steadfast. “Lie down beside me.”
“I’d rather not,” Gu Qingcheng declined, asserting her preference. “I’ll sleep alone.”
“Back when you were injured, you willingly invited me to share your bed. I didn’t expect you’d reciprocate when the roles are reversed,” Huo Sicheng playfully provoked, hinting at her perceived bashfulness. “I never knew you had a shy side.”
“Shy?” Gu Qingcheng’s voice carried incredulity as she settled down beside Huo
Sicheng. “I will never be shy.”
Huo Sicheng found solace in Gu Qingcheng’s willingness to be close. That night, he slept soundly, comforted by her presence.
The next day, sunlight gently filtered into the room, bringing light.
Gu Qingcheng’s long eyelashes fluttered as she awoke, met with the sight of Huo Sicheng’s handsome face.
Seeing him sound asleep beside her brought forth a sweet smile. She felt at ease; he was still there with her.
It was a rare occasion to witness Huo Sicheng asleep. Gazing at his pale features, long eyelashes, and delicate lips, a pang of tenderness gripped her heart.
He appeared so fragile.
As her hand rose, she delicately traced his eyebrows. Her touch ventured to his high nose bridge before finally resting on his lips; her caresses tinged with a touch of desire.
Suddenly, Huo Sicheng’s eyes fluttered open. Though they retained a hint of drowsiness, they were suffused with an affectionate tenderness reserved for Gu Qingcheng.
Parting his lips, he playfully caught her finger between his teeth…
