    Mary believed that this would bring Zuko and her daughter closer, as he wouldn’t need to check her


    pulse during holistic healing.


    She confidently smiled while her daughter looked at Zuko with allure, her dark freckles on her face


    forming a smile.


    Conveniently shaking the golden bangles on her wrist, she ced her arm on the table.


    Zuko frowned, trying to hide his urge tough.


    He stayed still, stealing nces at Lina, who stood beside him.


    Lina’s stern face was both terrifying and cute, especially her pouty, moist, and pink lips that made him


    recall the taste of the “cotton candy” from the other day.


    Just as Mary had Zuko check her daughter’s pulse, Lina mmed two marriage certificates on the


    table!


    The mother and daughter were shocked, their eyes wide open as they looked at Lina.


    Lina showed her firm stance,cking the usual gentleness in her beautiful doe eyes, which were now


    filled with suppressed anger.


    Mary smiled shyly, feeling guilty as she nced at the marriage certificates.


    It was uncertain whether Lina was smiling or not. “Mrs. Nash, why don’t I check your daughter’s pulse?


    I’ve learned many things from being with my husband every day. Your daughter has a woman’s


    problem, and a man like him won’t be able to cure it. Why don’t I do it?”


    Mary widened her eyes, guilt and fear welling up as she looked into Lina’s eyes that seemed to hide


    knives. She quickly refused and hurriedly ran out, dragging her daughter along.


    Zuko burst intoughter and reached out to grab Lina’s hand. However, she shook his hand off.


    “What’s wrong?” Zuko asked innocently. “I didn’t check her pulse. I didn’t even look at her!”


    While it was true that he hadn’t looked at her, thetter’s eyes had been fixed on him!


    Lina was furious but knew she was being unreasonable. After a moment of calm, she turned around


    slowly, still devoid of a smile.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books

    “What’s wrong?” Zuko ran his fingers through her hair and whispered with a smile, “The first round of


    the ‘husband defense contest’ has ended. Lina won!”


    “You…” Lina yfully punched him.


    However, her expression dimmed when she noticed the marriage certificates on the table out of the


    corner of her eye.


    Sensing the change in her demeanor, Zuko approached and checked. “What’s wrong?”


    Lina spoke in a t tone. “It’s fake, after all…”


    “It won’t be fake forever!” Zuko hurriedly interjected. “Your mom said that after I pass her test in a year


    and a half, we’ll rece the certificates with the real ones!”


    Lina was stunned. “We still have to wait… a year and a half?”


    “We can go right away if you want!”


    “Get out of here!” Lina blushed and pushed him away, smiling with her head lowered.


    A year and a half was neither long nor short.


    By then, Lina would have graduated from university.


    After wearing her graduation gown, she would put on a wedding gown. She would spend the rest of her


    life with him, just like her parents did… That would be the greatest happiness.


    Zuko held her shoulders, stared at her, and chuckled. “I think Mrs. Nash’s daughter is fine, but you’re


    not.”


    “What do you mean?”


    “Lina…” He whispered in her ear. “I have a magic pill.”


    “What nonsense are you talking about?”


    “I’m serious!”


    Zuko grinned and kissed her, catching her off guard!


    Her heart raced from the unexpected kiss. Her hands instinctively grasped his broad shoulders, and


    her body responded without much thought.
