My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses

Xue Lin introduced Ge Chen to that person and then introduced that person to Ge Chen, "My husband, this is Richard, my cousin. He is the son of my father's sister. His mother is the eldest daughter of my grandfather."

"Hello, nice to meet you," Ge Chen calmly reached out his hand. While his mind said, 'So, he is just a cousin.'

Richard gazed at Ge Chen and Xue Lin for a while before seeing, "Nice to meet you too, Chen," he grabbed his hand and shook it.

"Don't call him Chen," Xue Lin frowned.

She didn't like it when someone else called her husband so intimately.

Richard seemed confused. He asked her, "Why not?"

Xue Lin casually said, "It's because I don't like it. Only I will call him by his name. You… can call him brother-in-law."

"…" Richard stared at her without a word.

Xue Lin took a glance at him for a split second and frowned. "Don't give me that look. I don't like it when someone becomes close to what's mine."

The reason Richard looked gloomy was because of the man beside her was giving her a warm gaze with a faint smile on his pale lips.

Xue Lin didn't want to continue this topic and changed the subject, "Everyone should be preparing for the wedding ceremony. Why are you here? They must be looking for you."

"I don't feel like doing anything this time. You know them. They will just say one sentence and it will completely ruin your mood," Richard answered.

He gazed at Xue Lin and asked, "What about you? Why aren't you going there? You had brought your husband. Shouldn't you introduce him to everyone?"

There was something in his tone that Xue Lin didn't like.

Therefore, she answered, "This is the first time we came here. I want to show my HUSBAND this town. We will go there on time and do what we are supposed to do. Enjoy the scenery. Let's meet in the main house in the evening."

She didn't give him another chance to speak. She grabbed her husband's hand and dragged him away with her.

They stopped only when Richard was out of sight.

"What's up with you two?" Ge Chen asked.

Since his wife was being so supportive, he was in a good mood. He didn't want to ruin it for his brother-in-law.

"I don't know but for some reason, we ended up like that. And, did you just notice the way he talks? It just pisses me off. Moreover, look at his face. If he thinks he can become Rabindranath Tagore just because he kept hair bushes on his face, he is so wrong. He never brushes those beards and hair. So dirty!" Xue Lin vented.

It wasn't enough. She added, "I told him multiple times not to do that and keep his face clean but he won't just do that. He will do exactly the thing that would make me angry."

"So, that's why you didn't look at him properly," Ge Chen thoughtfully commented.

He thought maybe something else was going on between them. He stated, "Did you notice that when you talk about him, you have some kind of authority in your tone as if you want him to obey you."

Xue Lin halted and glanced at her husband. "Really?"

She thought she knew herself the best but she didn't realize that she felt that way until her husband pointed it out.

Ge Chen described, "Yeah, like you were saying you told him multiple times not to do that and keep his face clean but he won't just do that."

Xue Lin gazed at him in amazement. "Oh, you just said the exact line. Even I couldn't do that. Amazing!"

"I'm blessed with a photographic memory," he smiled at her.

Xue Lin gave him a blank look and replied, "I should be jealous of you but I don't know how to. Anyway, about him, yes, I guess I want to control him just like he tries to control me. Don't you think it is fun controlling people? That's why people act bossy, don't they?"

"Are you experimenting it on him?" Ge Chen stared at her quietly.

Xue Lin couldn't understand what he was thinking. She answered with a question, "Is that bad? Don't I make you my guinea pig whenever I cook something?"

"I didn't know that," he had no idea how scary his wife was.

Xue Lin smirked mysteriously.

"Do enjoy experimenting on people?" Ge Chen asked curiously.

From time to time, when they get in the mood, they ask about themselves. It's almost like two strangers trying to know themselves.

Xue Lin explained, "As long as it's about human behavior, it interests me. Believe me or not, the person my experiment on the most is myself. I try to feel what others feel, I try to experience what others experience. When I think that way, it helps me to understand others' problems and pains."

"My wife, you have nothing to be jealous of. You are amazing in your way. Even I cannot think nor do anything like that," Ge Chen praised her.

"Thank you for the compliment, my husband," Xue Lin smiled.

For the first time, someone close to her praised her for her different way of thinking and working. It made her feel better. She could never expect this from her family members or relatives.

Ge Chen moved back to the original subject. "Why do you think your cousin acts this way? Does he try to control everyone? His behavior was really odd."

"So you noticed. Right, anyone would have noticed. No, he is only like that in front of me and I don't know why. Even if I have the slightest clue what he is thinking, I don't want to think about it," Xue Lin seemed disgusted about something and she didn't want to talk about it.

"Maybe he is doing it to grab your attention. Have you thought about it?" Ge Chen threw another remark.
