Most importantly, she understood marital passion as a catalyst for emotions. She held herself to the standards men loved most: presentable in the hall, capable in the kitchen, and good in bed. If she managed the dimensions between them well, this man would not escape her grasp.
Thinking about this, looking satisfyingly at the high-quality man embracing her, Lan Lan felt triumphant.
Now, she only wanted to create a beautiful, comfortable haven for him to repay his deep affection.
“Wife, in a few days it’s the Little Year festival with a family banquet in the palace. I’ll take you with me, so prepare yourself. I’ll ask my father the Emperor to grant us a marriage, okay?” Long Junhao sought her opinion. He had long wanted to marry her, constantly urging for marriage. Originally, Lan Lan wanted to wait until their feelings deepened before discussing it.
But after the last incident, she understood his deep affection and wouldn’t refuse now. A marriage certificate would provide more security – why not?
“Husband, you haven’t even proposed to me yet! How can I marry you?” Lan Lan teased him.
“Proposal? What proposal?” He frowned, confused.
“Proposing is a ritual from my hometown where a man asks a woman to marry him with red roses and a ring. You need to kneel on one knee and ask: ‘Will you marry me?’ If I have no objections, I’ll say: ‘I do.’ So, my dear husband, don’t you want to propose to your wife?” she playfully asked Long Junhao.
“Oh! Just like that! Wait for me an hour.” He kissed her and walked out.
She watched him leave, eagerly anticipating his surprise.
An hour later, Xiao Yue came in: “Miss, the Prince asks you to come to the main hall.”
“Okay, I’m coming right away!” Lan Lan replied excitedly, following Xiao Yue.
Entering the front hall, she was amazed. The hall was filled with red roses, and several jade rings were placed on the table. Lan Lan looked at Long Junhao, who smiled at her, his face warm and inviting.
“Come, wife, I’ve selected a few. Which do you like?” Long Junhao said, pointing to the rings on the table.
