708: Meant to be Together

Meant to be Together

Wang Hao reached the bed-chamber, where he was greeted by the servants and the Court Lady. They silently left the room, closing the door behind them. Wang Hao looked at Bai Yaling, who was seated at the edge of the bed with the veil on her face. He stepped forward and looked at the small table beside the bed on which a stick, painted in red, was placed.1

He picked it and lifted the veil above her head. Bai Yaling had lowered her eyes. She was looking like a jade beauty in the wedding dress. Her red cheeks, red lips, and everything about her mesmerized Wang Hao. His thin lips moved up into a smile and he placed the stick back on the table.

He settled down beside her. For a few seconds, he was hesitant too but then gathering his courage he placed his hands gently on her shoulders. She turned to her when felt Wang Hao's calloused index finger under her chin. He lifted her head and their eyes met.

"You have officially become Wang Hao's wife, Bai Yaling. Thank you for accepting me as your husband." He could not express his happiness in words.

"I must thank General Wang for accepting me as his other half," she said. Her eyes were misty because her heart was overjoyed with this marriage. Wang Hao drew her into a hug and warmly hugged her.

"Call me Wang Hao. I am the General for others but for you, I am Wang Hao," he whispered in her ear. Bai Yaling hummed and placed her hands on his back. They stayed like that for a while and gradually drew back from the hug. Wang Hao brought his hand on her left side of the neck and leaned towards her.

Bai Yaling clutched the fabric of her skirt tightly and shut her eyes tightly. Wang Hao moved his lips on the middle of her forehead and looked down while she lifted her head to meet his gaze.

His hand stroked the left side of her neck. His other hand rested over her hands which were on her lap and he caressed them.

"I am as nervous as you, Bai Yaling," he told her. "Let's have our dinner. You need to eat your meals at the right time for our child," Wang Hao said. Bai Yaling's heart fluttered when Wang Hao called her child with her previous husband as his. It delighted her heart that Wang Hao loved her this much.

She could not help but kiss Wang Hao, who was shocked. His eyes grew big when Bai Yaling pulled away. "I-I," before she could complete her broken sentence, Wang Hao pressed his lips on hers.

His hand which was near her left back slowly moved to the back of her head. Wang Hao opened his mouth and nibbled on her lower lip. She flinched as her fingers dug into the fabric of Wang Hao's dress. A moan escaped her mouth and she gave easy access to Wang Hao to invade her mouth.

Bai Yaling could feel the love that was poured into that kiss, the warmth, the compassion that she could never get from her previous marriage. Tears poured from her eyes because of the happiness she was feeling at that moment.

Wang Hao stopped kissing her when the tears touched his cheeks. Instantly, he opened his eyes. He withdrew back, leaving them gasping for air.

"Bai Yaling, did I do something wrong? Forgive me if I overstepped my boundaries," Wang Hao was worried and scared to see her tears. He thought that he did something without her permission.

His hands cupped her face, and he again asked her about the reason behind those tears. His thumbs grazed over her cheeks and wiped those tears.

"I am grateful to you for this day. My faith in love had lifted. Thank you for making me feel joy once again. I am not sad, but happy," Bai Yaling said and smiled brightly.

Wang Hao was relieved to hear her answer. "You should not cry even if you are happy. You have a life inside you. If you want to cry, then you can tell me. Though I hardly cry, I will try," Wang Hao asserted.

Bai Yaling giggled upon hearing his words. She wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "That was funny, My Husband."

"My Husband!" Wang Hao ended up blushing when he heard it. "Say it again," he urged her.

"Let's have dinner before it gets cold, Dear Husband," Bai Yaling said and they both smiled. Wang Hao immediately got up from the bed and took her towards the dining table. Pulling out the chair, he gently made her sit. They had their dinner while conversing about each other.

Wang Hao brought Bai Yaling to the bed and then blew off the candles in the room, keeping one lit. Bai Yaling was struggling to remove the head accessories when Wang Hao told her to stay still. He removed them for her and then removed the heavy red overcoat.

Bai Yaling started to get tense when she saw Wang Hao had removed the hairpin from the hair bun at the top of his head. He then removed the red overcoat and put it aside. Removing his shoes, he sat down by her side again.

"Bai Yaling, do you allow me to be yours?" Wang Hao asked her.

She nodded her head. He planted a soft kiss on her lips and said, "I am yours, now. For Wang Hao, his wife's command is supreme from this moment. I adore you and will always do."

Bai Yaling smiled and closed the distance between them by hugging him. Her head rested on his chest and she locked her hands around him. Wang Hao also put his arm around her back and snuggled her close to him.

"Do you know when I kissed you first?" He questioned her out of the blue and she leaned her head back to gaze into his eyes.

"Outside my chamber," she answered.

"Wrong," Wang Hao stated and brushed the back of his index finger on her nose.

"I kissed you when I saved you from dying," Wang Hao said and peered into her eyes. "You were not waking up, so I need to give you mouth-to-mouth respiration," he stated.

Bai Yaling was startled for a second and then ended up smiling.

"Our fate matched that day," Wang Hao said and rested his forehead against her. "I saved many women during the times of war, but not the way I saved you. It was decided from that moment onwards that we are meant to be together," he said and again kissed her.
