Long Ling rested her chin on Violet’s smooth hair, gently patting her back and softly saying, “Don’t cry, Violet, I will always love you, and I’ll belong only to you from now on.”
Violet, smelling the strawberry scent emanating from Long Ling, felt an unprecedented sense of peace in her heart.
She also felt a bit unreal: “Long Ling, will you really marry me?”
Long Ling sat up straight, lightly nuzzling the top of Violet’s head:
“Yes, I even had the wedding rings custom-made. You can marry me whenever you want.”
Violet took Long Ling’s hand and placed it in her palm: “I want to get married right now.”
Long Ling blushed, feeling somewhat flustered: “But I’m not ready yet.”
Violet gently touched noses with Long Ling, saying with affection:
“Silly girl, I’m just thinking about it. There are so many things to prepare for a wedding.
How could a little dragon like you get everything ready? Our wedding has to be grand, so everyone knows we’re married.”
Their foreheads touched, their noses bumping together several times.
Violet’s eyelashes fluttered, and glistening tears fell, her dark golden eyes full of tenderness, her usually cold and beautiful face softened.
Long Ling cupped her cheeks in both hands, her thumbs tenderly wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes:
“I’ll prepare with you.”
Violet gently rubbed her cheek against Long Ling’s palm, softly saying: “Okay, you can help me put on the ring first.”
Violet rarely acted so spoiled, and Long Ling’s heart felt ticklish, as if being teased by small feathers, and her heartbeat quickened.
She quickly took the ring out of the ring box, first holding Violet’s pale, slender hand, and slowly sliding the ring onto Violet’s middle finger.
Violet watched Long Ling’s careful movements, a gentle light rippling in her eyes, softly reminding her: “It should be the ring finger, Long Ling. I’ll be your wife from now on.”
Long Ling’s heart trembled. Even though she had already proposed to Violet, hearing Violet say she was her wife was different.
She felt so sweet and happy, but her eyes welled up with tears, and she had an urge to cry.
She had been so alone for so long, enduring so much hardship and grievance, and now she finally had someone to hold hands with until old age.
Long Ling took a deep breath, forced back the tears, and slid the ring onto Violet’s ring finger, pushing it slowly from fingertip to base.
Violet carefully examined the ring on her hand, taking off her original ruby ring and leaving only the one Long Ling had given her: “It’s so beautiful, thank you, darling. I love this ring so much.”
Long Ling’s eyes sparkled, a radiant smile spreading across her face: “I’m glad you like it.”
Violet touched Long Ling’s cheek, placed a large bouquet of magic flowers beside the bed, and leaned into Long Ling’s arms:
“When did you prepare all this? I feel like I’m dreaming. As soon as I woke up, you proposed to me. I’ll never forget this day.”
Surprises, of course, had to be prepared in secret, and Violet’s current level of satisfaction perfectly matched her expectations.
Long Ling watched Violet still stroking the new ring on her hand: “I prepared it during this trip back to the Livor Continent. We’re not married yet, just engaged. Violet, we’ll have many more happy moments in the future.”
Violet gently chided: “It’s so good to be with you.”
Long Ling kissed Violet’s forehead: “I think so too.”
Violet’s lips curved upward. When the little strawberry dragon was sweet, she couldn’t help but want to swallow her whole.
Long Ling’s love for her was no less than her own.
Violet couldn’t help but hug Long Ling’s slender waist tightly: “Let’s get married as soon as we get back. The wedding will be held at our manor.”
Long Ling gently stroked Violet’s long hair, suddenly remembering something from before, feeling a little anxious:
“Okay, but we signed an agreement before. I didn’t get you pregnant with a dragon egg. Will the dragons in your family agree to our marriage?”
Not many people knew that she and Violet had privately terminated the agreement, so to others, she and Violet were still engaged.
She remembered the conditions that the Fuges family had set when she and Violet were together, which was to have Violet pregnant with a dragon egg.
Almost a year had passed, and their s*x life was quite unrestrained, but Violet still hadn’t conceived a dragon egg.
Now that they wanted to get married, the elders of the Fuges family might not agree.
Violet saw Long Ling frowning, looking troubled, and her red lips couldn’t help but curve up.
Did Long Ling really think that the powerless elders at home could decide her marriage at will?
She was a Duke, and if she didn’t agree, no one could stuff an Alpha into her manor.
She had never told Long Ling that she had acquiesced to this marriage only after seeing the photos and understanding Long Ling’s family.
She leaned close to Long Ling’s ear, gently blowing a breath of hot air, her tone teasing:
“What should we do then? I haven’t gotten pregnant with your dragon egg yet. You need to work harder.”
Long Ling blushed even more: “We just did it a moment ago.”
Violet parted her red lips, and said, “Who said it’s not allowed.”
Long Ling’s cheeks flushed, and she bit her lip: “I didn’t say it’s not allowed, but you haven’t had breakfast yet today, and you’ve slept almost all day. I’m worried about your health.”
If Violet hadn’t been in the mood to tease her, she would have thought that…
Violet pinched her cheek, smiled, and said: “It’s so cold in winter, and it’s normal for my body not to have adjusted yet. Don’t worry about me, my physical strength is much better than yours.”
But the Odd Continent was even colder than the Livor Continent. Did dragons also hibernate?
She was also a dragon, and her mother was also a dragon, but neither of them showed any signs of hibernation.
Long Ling suppressed the doubts in her heart and looked at Violet’s slender legs: “How have your legs been lately?”
Violet said: “I’ve been doing rehabilitation training, and I should be able to fully recover in a few days. I just can’t run fast for extended periods yet.”
Violet’s health was the most important thing.
Long Ling nodded: “That’s good. I’ll go get you some food first, you should eat something.”
Violet watched Long Ling leave, hugged the magic flowers, looked down at the engagement ring, touched it with her slender fingers, and felt as if a warm current was slowly flowing through her heart.
So this was how being loved made you feel happy. She hadn’t experienced the taste of love since her loved ones passed away in the coup.
If her mother knew that she had met the person she loved most in her life, she would definitely bless her.
Long Ling quickly brought the breakfast over and placed it on the small table.
She had made shrimp dumplings and vegetable buns, all placed in a steamer, steaming when they were brought up.
The crystal shrimp dumplings were round and plump, the pleats of the dumpling skin like even and beautiful lace, and each dumpling skin was rolled very thin and tender, and you could faintly see the fresh and delicious shrimp meat inside.
These shrimps were all just salvaged by the morning sea boat, and Long Ling picked out the big lobsters from the basket.
Each one was jumping and alive, she cut off the heads and tails, and then used a kitchen knife to cut them into fresh shrimp particles.
The buns were also wrapped with winter pickled vegetables. She stir-fried some sauerkraut, and added some fried shrimp oil.
The resulting vegetable buns had a sour taste, and after being fully soaked in oil, they would be more plump, and the wheat fragrance could also be stimulated.
There was also millet porridge cooked with yellow rice and millet in the casserole.
Since Violet was a Western dragon, Long Ling gave her a small bowl of millet porridge, and poured a cup of heated milk and placed it next to her.
Violet could already skillfully use chopsticks, first tasted the shrimp dumplings made by Long Ling.
Not only did they look good, but the shrimp meat was very QQ and elastic.
The shrimp dumpling skin looked thin and translucent, but it was also very tough.
It was like walking on an endless wheat field, and being gently blown by a cool sea breeze.
After eating a shrimp dumpling, Violet also tasted the vegetable buns. Unlike the lard residue buns that Long Ling had made for her before, the taste of this bun was even more special.
It was sour and salty, and a little bit delicious.
The bun skin was very soft and fluffy, and it was very similar to bread, but it was more fragrant.
Violet liked to eat every dish Long Ling made.
She slept well today, and she was a little hungry.
The dragon’s appetite was much bigger than that of humans, and Violet finished everything Long Ling made for her.
Long Ling held her cheeks in her hands, watching Violet eat, and a feeling of happiness arose in her heart.
If it could always be like this, she would definitely be able to raise the big evil dragon very well.
Long Ling handed Violet a handkerchief to wipe her lips, took away the dishes that Violet had finished eating, put them in the kitchen and used magic to wash them clean with water, and then returned to the room.
Violet was writing at her desk with a quill pen, her delicate profile very quiet in the sun.
Last time Violet stayed with her for a while, she brought some of her usual living items over here, and from the side, the gemstone ring on her hand radiated a light green light.
Violet was only wearing a burgundy nightgown, and Long Ling walked over and draped a coat over her shoulders: “Be careful to keep warm.”
Violet stopped writing and leaned on her: “Guess what I’m doing?”
