Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1036

Lina's heart quivered, and she stared at him for a while before asking softly, "You... How did you come here?"

Zuko looked at her, smiling all the while. He had listened to every word she said just now, which made his heart bloom with joy, especially when he heard the frequent mention of "my husband".

However, Lina was startled by his expression. She looked left and right, stood on her tiptoes, and reached out to touch his forehead.

"What are you doing?" Zuko chuckled. "I'm not running a fever!"

"Oh." Lina paused. "I just thought... for someone who usually wears a poker face to suddenly smile like this, they must be up to no good!"

"You..." Zuko glared at her.

Lina could not help but laugh but did not want him to see it. She quickly covered her mouth with her small hand, only to have it grasped by the quick-witted man, who pulled her along as they ran outside the restaurant.

The bustling commercial street of the city was just another street away.

Under the scorching summer sun, the wind in Jangasas was still pleasantly cool, even in the midst of the summer heat. As they ran, the breeze lifted Lina's hair and her bangs, and she laughed as sweetly as a peach.

She held Zuko's hand tightly and looked at his broad shoulders, her face blushing quietly.

The two arrived at the street, and Zuko saw a stall selling cotton candy by the roadside. He bought one and handed it to Lina. Just as Lina was about to take it, he suddenly raised the cotton candy high.

"Hey, you..."

"Do you want it?" Zuko smiled and said, "If you can reach it, then it's yours to eat!"

Lina tiptoed to reach it.

Zuko held the cotton candy up with one hand and pressed down on her small head with the other. "Lina, if your mouth can touch it, then the cotton candy is yours!" "With my mouth?" asked Lina.

"Of course!" Zuko said seriously, "I have cleanliness issues. If you touch it with your mouth, then I won't eat this cotton candy!"

Lina glared at him like a cat unwilling to admit defeat. She took aim and leaped with all her might!

Just as she jumped, Zuko moved the cotton candy away and suddenly leaned down...

Lina missed the cotton candy, and her lips accidentally touched a pair of warm ones.

"Mmh!" Her mind went blank as she was suddenly embraced tightly by the man, her feet off the ground!

Zuko was strong and held her like one would hold a child single-handedly, with Lina's body pressed against his and her eyes wide open looking at him.

However, he closed his eyes. His kiss was wanton between her lips and teeth, with a force as if he wanted to devour her in one gulp.

Lina was delirious and unable to resist, letting him take advantage of her.

She did not know how long it lasted, but she felt as if the whole world had disappeared, leaving only the two of them. When his lips finally left hers, he slowly opened his eyes, his deep gaze carrying a hint of fondness and indulgence.

Lina's breathing became rapid as she looked at him, feeling lost.

"Mmm..." Zuko smiled and whispered in her ear, his voice low and pleasant, "It's different..."

"Huh?" Lina was stunned. "What's... different?"

"Different from what I read in the novels."

Lina blushed like a bleeding cherry.

Zuko analyzed it seriously. "I've read a few romance novels. The kisses between the male and female leads are supposed to be sweet."

"You..." Lina was both shy and embarrassed, punching him with a clenched fist.

"You mean I'm not as sweet as those female leads? Zeke Hamerton, you took advantage of me, and you say something like this. Y-You're too much!" "I didn't say that."

The more she pouted, the more cheerful Zuko became.

He bent down, his lips gently brushing against her ear, as he hoarsely uttered a few words, "Lina, you are much sweeter than what's written in books!"
