IT MEANS I TRULY LOVE

Kendrick, with a tender murmur, expressed, "I do not need material possessions; all I desire is to spend this night with my beloved wife on our wedding night."

Amelia's eyes widened in surprise as she exclaimed, "You!"

"Hey, did you happen to forget that this evening is when we celebrate our special wedding night?"

"Amelia's cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she responded, 'Of course, I remember.'"

As they arrived at their home, Kendrick cradled Amelia in his arms, carrying her with great care and tenderness into their cozy bedroom, where a soft, warm ambiance enveloped them. Without hesitation, Kendrick lovingly initiated their wedding night, creating a truly unforgettable experience for the both of them.

In the meantime, in Country X, a conversation took place.

"How did it go?" someone asked.

"Mr. Kendrick Yang of KY Global Group won the Imperial Necklace," came the response.

The person who inquired snorted in disbelief and then dismissed the assistant.

As the first light of the morning peeked through the curtains, Kendrick leaned in closer to the still-sleeping Amelia, gently whispering, "Honey, wake up."

Amelia stirred and let out a soft "Um," her body aching as she shifted. It felt as though every muscle in her body had been hit by a truck back and forth; she felt her waist was about to break.

"Honey, it's time to get up. We promised Grandma we'd visit today," Kendrick urged, his voice filled with warmth and understanding for Amelia's sleepy state.

Amelia's face twisted into a pout as she complained, "My body aches so much; this is all your doing. How could you treat me this way?"

"Honey, it means I truly love you," Kendrick reassured her, his voice overflowing with affection.

"If you love me by bullying me, I will hate you," Amelia declared, her eyes brimming with frustration.

"No, Honey, I promise I will be gentle next time. Okay?"

"Um, I think we should freshen up and get ready. Today is the first time I am going to meet your family; I don't want us to be late," Amelia said as she rose from the bed. But as she attempted to stand, her legs felt as weak as jelly, causing her to collapse to the floor.

Startled, Kendrick rushed to her side to help her up, though he couldn't stifle a burst of laughter.

"This is all your fault! And you're still laughing at me!"

"Honey, I'm sorry. I promise not to be so excited next time," Kendrick said as he tenderly carried Amelia in his arms, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead, and led her to the bathroom to freshen up.

While Amelia attended to her tasks, Kendrick seized a moment to tackle the avalanche of emails flooding his inbox. Having been absent from the office the previous day, Kendrick was now confronted with a towering stack of urgent work awaiting his attention.

When Amelia emerged into the room, Kendrick found himself utterly captivated by her stunning appearance. Amelia was draped in a breathtaking red cheongsam intricately adorned with delicate white embroidery, a garment Kendrick had commissioned Alu to prepare the day before. Amelia's hair was elegantly styled in a simple yet graceful ponytail, and true to her nature, she had chosen to abstain from makeup. As Kendrick gazed upon Amelia, Kendrick couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the thought, 'She truly is my angel.'

Setting down his iPad, Kendrick made his way over to Amelia. He spoke, "Honey, your beauty never fails to take my breath away."

Amelia playfully remarked, "Did you have some honey this morning? Your mouth is so sweet."

"Nothing is sweeter than you," Kenrick replied with a smile before leaning in to kiss Amelia.

Once they had finished their breakfast, the couple set out for Yang's main house, where Kenrick's beloved grandparents resided.

Amelia gently clasped Kendrick's hand as they made their way to the Yangs' main house. Looking up at Kendrick, she inquired, "Can you share some insights about your family? I'd love to learn more about them before we meet.'"

"Our family is quite small, comprising only five members: my grandparents, my parents, and myself. This peculiarity seems to be a tradition in our family, as just three individuals represent each generation: my grandfather, my father, and me. The Yang family is consistently blessed with just one child in each generation.

My childhood was mostly under the care of my Grandparents, which is why I didn't form a close bond with my parents. If you ever get the chance, please spend time with my Grandma; she's truly the kindest soul you'll ever meet. And my Grandpa may come off as reserved at first, but he's incredibly warm and humorous once you get to know him," Kendrick explained.

Understanding my background, you'll realize that my grandparents played a significant role in shaping who I am today. I didn't form a close bond with my parents because my childhood was mostly under the care of my Grandparents. If you ever get the chance, I urge you to spend time with my Grandma; she's truly the kindest soul you'll ever meet. As for my Grandpa, although he may come off as reserved at first, he's incredibly warm and humorous once you get to know him." Kendrick explained to Amelia.

"Sir, we have arrived," Alu announced as the car came to a stop in front of the grand mansion, its imposing façade looming over them.

"Don't worry; I won't allow anyone to bully you or hurt you under my care. Let's go," these reassuring words from Kendrick warmed Amelia's heart. "Let's go."

"Um."

As they crossed the hall into the opulent mansion, the butler, Jerry, greeted them with a bow. "Young Master, Young Madam, your Grandparents are waiting for you in the living room," he announced with a respectful tone.

"Thank you, Jerry," Kendrick individual acknowledged.

Kendrick and Amelia entered the living room, their hands intertwined. In the room, Kendrick's Grandfather and Grandmother were seated next to each other, creating a warm and familial atmosphere.

As the old couple sat before the magnificent Dragon Chair, they could see the joy lighting up their Grandmother's face.

Amelia's fingers tightened their grip around Kendrick's hand, a clear indication of her nervousness, while Kendrick responded by holding her hand firmly, providing comfort to his beloved wife.
