Hearing these words, Xiaoxiao's body relaxed from its rigid state, feeling the warmth emanating from her husband's palm, she giggled secretly under the covers.
She thought that a man must surely like a woman to treat her like this, perhaps it was just because her husband hadn't realized it himself yet.
He was so silly, so dull, so wooden, it must be the case.
Waiting for him to realize he liked her might really take until the cows come home, so she decided it would be better if she confessed first.
Once her period was over, and the next time he returned when the atmosphere was just right, she would confess. Perhaps she could succeed in one fell swoop and even knock him down.
Thinking this way, her mood was very pleasant. Maybe her husband's hand really did have some magic in it, for she felt much more comfortable in her stomach, not so painful anymore. Boldly, she placed her hand on her husband's, and together they warmed their stomachs, drifting off to sleep sweetly.
