His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 108 Trip to The Temple

After releasing their passion, Charles Lu lay back on the bed and held Autumn Ye in his arms. It felt

natural that they were able to finally do it, but somehow the place where they did it didn't feel right.

'I must get this villa from Eric Guo when I go back.' Charles thought to himself.

Autumn felt extremely exhausted. The sore between her legs reminded her of what had just happened.

She wondered how she became so daring today. She leaned on Charles's shoulder, feeling extremely

content.

Leaving everything else behind including Wendy Ye and Yvonne Gu felt like such a leap of faith. It

struck her how she was able to completely give herself to Charles and finally become his woman.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked. Charles held Autumn in his arms, curling her hair with his

fingers.

"Nothing..." Autumn said with a slight flush on her cheeks. She was so daring just a few moments ago,

but now she seemed to have forgotten how to get along with Charles.

"I think you should rest first and take a shower, " Charles said as he turned over. Just as he was about

to get out of bed, Autumn grabbed him and asked, "Are you going to leave?"

'We just had our first time today. Is he going to leave me?' She thought anxiously.

"What's up?" Charles asked, affectionately touching Autumn's nose. "I'm going to make you some

breakfast. You will definitely get more tired today. I have to make sure you're physically and spiritually

prepared."

Autumn's face flushed further. She wrapped and pulled the quilt over her face, muffling her screams.

She felt so embarrassed that she couldn't even look at Charles.

Seeing Autumn's reaction made Charles burst into a roaring laughter.

Fortunately, a house helper frequently visited the villa to re-stock the supplies and make sure that fresh

food would always be available. Charles struggled awkwardly as he tried to fry two eggs. He wondered

how their house helper seemed to do it effortlessly.

Charles stood in the kitchen, a frown visible in his face. Frying eggs seemed to be the biggest problem

in his life at the moment.

Autumn caught the burnt smell while she was upstairs. Putting on Charles's shirt, she decided to go

down to the kitchen barefooted. Seeing the two burnt eggs, she couldn't help keeling over with

laughter. "Is this the breakfast you made for me?"

"Let me try again." said Charles, clearly embarrassed.

Charles took the remaining eggs left in the refrigerator. However, Autumn stopped him before he even

began trying to cook again.

Charles did not refuse Autumn's help this time. He thought he might ruin frying the eggs if he's going to

do it again. He leaned against the door, watching Autumn boil some noodles while skillfully frying the

eggs. The kitchen was filled with the aroma of food not long after.

Charles opened the floor to ceiling window facing the sea, allowing the salty sea breeze to flow freely

inside the house. As they sat in the dining room eating their noodles, Autumn suddenly raised her head

and asked Charles. "I heard that there's a temple in Z City. People say it looks breathtaking. Would you

like to go with me this afternoon?"

"Okay, " said Charles, agreeing without any hesitation. "Go upstairs and get dressed. I'll wash the

dishes in the meantime, " he added.

Autumn dressed comfortably, keeping in mind that they might be doing some mountain climbing. With

her hair tied and a baseball cap on, she looked glowing from head to toe.

"Let's go." said Charles offering his hand. She walked in front of him with a huge smile on her face. For

a moment, he secretly thought of carrying her back to the bedroom. Thinking that she might find the

thought ridiculous, he tried to curb his urges with a great effort.

After arriving at their destination, Charles bought their entrance tickets while Autumn stood aside

waiting for him. Charles became incredibly pissed when he started seeing men hitting on Autumn.

Seeing his reaction, she gave him a light kiss on the cheek.

They started to go up the mountains after entering the door, restraining the playful look that's visible on

their faces.

Autumn wanted to visit the temple to honor Granny. She's a devout Buddhist who has always wanted to

come to the temple so she can worship the Buddha and burn some incense. Unfortunately, Granny's

ailing condition didn't allow her to make it happen, that's why Autumn decided to come to fulfill

Granny's wishes.

They say things only work when you believe in it with all your heart. She sincerely hoped that

everything will go well with Granny.

Like typical lovers, Autumn and Charles walked hand in hand to the top of the mountain. Even if there's

a more convenient way of going up the mountains, they chose to walk beside each other without any

complaints.

"Would you like to hop on my back and be carried for a while?" Charles asked Autumn out of concern.

"Thanks but I'm alright, " she said, turning down his offer. "There's only a third of the journey left. It is

too dangerous to do that on such a steep mountain path."

Autumn took a little bit of rest as she sat on the big stone by the road. After a moment, she stood up

and told Charles that they should get going.

It took them two full hours before reaching the top of the mountain. She made no complaints about the

exhausting journey despite having blisters on her feet. The panoramic view of Z City made her feel like

it was all worth it.

The mountain breeze gently blew over their faces while the temple chimes calmed them both.

They are rewarded with the magnificent view of Z City as they looked down from the top of the

mountain.

Surrounded with a few clouds floating halfway up the mountain and the city blocks neatly arranged at © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

the foot, Z City presented itself in a unique way.

The temple wasn't huge but there were many pilgrims. The crest of the temple was covered with glazed

tiles, making it look dazzling and spectacular. However, some pillars of the temple were peeled off,

making it look old and shabby.

They walked into the area after burning their incense. Seeing the wishing well in the middle of the yard,

Autumn pulled a coin from her purse and threw it into the well. The coin steadily fell into the copper

tripod in the center, landing with a tinkle. Delighted with what she saw, Autumn turned around and

looked at Charles, her eyes filled with joy.

"Make a wish, " Charles said, looking at Autumn affectionately.

Autumn crossed her hands and closed her eyes. She had two wishes to make. She wished for

Granny's health and safety. And she wished Charles to be successful throughout his whole life.

None of the two wishes was about herself at all.
