The Wife of Hades

At night, An Luxia faced Mo Han, her face buried inside his warm chest with her eyes closed.

Mo Han stared at her in the darkness, gentleness plastered all over his face. Maybe it was because people are more vulnerable at night, but Mo Han couldn\'t stop himself from asking:

"Luxia. . ."

"Huh?" An Luxia replied softly, almost asleep already.

However, Mo Han was still fully awake, "Luxia, do you like me. . . more now?"

An Luxia didn\'t respond for several seconds, and it almost sounded like she was asleep already.

"Xiaxia?" Mo Han asked softly, wondering if she was asleep.

"Huh?" An Luxia replied again, even softer this time.

Mo Han took a deep breath before asking again, "Do you like me now? I mean. . . Not just my appearance. . . Me?"

He asked cautiously. In the dark, his eyes stared at her eagerly, anticipating her response.

Mo Han didn\'t know if she had heard the question clearly or not, because she fell asleep right after giving him her answer. Maybe she didn\'t hear the last part of his question. . . Maybe she did.

He did not know.

Her response was a simple three words, "I like you."

The next morning, An Luxia woke up to see that the blinds were pulled open.

She turned around and saw that the space next to her was empty. She placed her hand onto the bedsheet and felt that it was still warm, so Mo Han probably didn\'t leave too long ago.

She sat up on the bed and rubbed her eyes, staring out the window at the bright sunlight. She had bought more colorful decorations for this room, but they still haven\'t arrived yet.

Thinking it was time for breakfast, she jumped out of bed and got ready for the day, changing into a casual set of pajamas so she wouldn\'t be roaming around in a nightgown anymore, although it didn\'t make much difference.

First, she entered the kitchen and decided to make something for Mo Han for breakfast today. After all, yesterday wasn\'t really a great day for him. . . He fell in a lake!

Thinking about it was kind of funny, but An Luxia forced herself to not laugh.

She made a full breakfast set for herself and Mo Han. A bowl of soup, a fried egg, steamed buns, and fruit.

A maid carried one tray and she carried one tray herself as she went to go look for him. Where was he? Why was he always hiding in the morning?

She went to look for him in his office, and although the door was closed, she immediately heard the voices coming from inside.

" - your horrible plan!" She heard Mo Han say loudly, and then the sound of whimpering. She furrowed her eyebrows together and knocked twice.

After the noises had died down, she opened the door and walked in to see Mo Han sitting on the couch with his back facing her and Qin Wei across from him.

Upon seeing An Luxia, Qin Wei jumped up and ran over, "Sister-in-law, save me!"

An Luxia raised one eyebrow, "What is happening?"

"Your husband is bullying me."

At once, Mo Han stood up and turned around, glaring at Qin Wei.

Qin Wei scratched the back of his head and frowned, "Okay, okay. Maybe the flawless first date plan I gave you may have failed. . . But, I didn\'t do it on purpose!"

An Luxia narrowed her eyes, "First date plan?!"

Qin Wei gasped as he immediately covered his mouth with both hands, "Oops!"

Mo Han\'s face darkened even more and An Luxia couldn\'t help but think that if there was a knife in the room, he would probably stab Qin Wei with it.

*helemon\'s note: Hehe of course not! Our Hanhan isn\'t that type of person, right?

Qin Wei hid behind An Luxia\'s back as protection since Mo Han\'s expression was so scary that even An Luxia couldn\'t help but be scared.

However, she still had to get things straight.

"Yesterday. . . You were following a plan Qin Wei gave you?"

Mo Han gulped and licked his lips, trying to hide the slight embarrassment on his face.

"Yes, yes. Sister-in-law, it was great, right?" Qin Wei asked excitedly, hoping that An Luxia could save him.

An Luxia chuckled awkwardly before walking over to Mo Han, "I made breakfast for you. Do you want to eat it?"

At once, the anger on Mo Han\'s face disappeared as he nodded his head, sitting back down on the couch.

Qin Wei looked between the two of them, his face filled with frustration and also admiration, "Ah, when will I have someone to cook breakfast for me?"

Mo Han glared at him, "Get out!"

Why was he still here disturbing his lovely breakfast with his wife?

Qin Wei immediately nodded his head, "Yes, sir!"

Then, he whipped around and ran off.

As they ate breakfast, An Luxia would occasionally take a peek at Mo Han\'s face. He seemed very happy at the moment, and he finished all the food very quickly when he normally only ate a few bites.

"Your appetite is quite big today," she commented.

Mo Han grinned, "I like everything you cook."

An Luxia smiled happily. No one complimented her cooking before, especially since her parents and her brother were such great chefs.

"So. . . You actually followed the plan Qin Wei gave you?"

Mo Han cleared his throat and put down the empty bowl of soup, "Um. . . Yes. This is my first time actually dating someone, so I don\'t know what to do. So I. . ."

An Luxia smiled, thinking that her husband was actually quite cute, "You don\'t have to worry. This is also my first time actually dating something, so whatever you do, I will think is perfect."

Mo Han looked up a little surprisedly as the sides of his pale cheeks turned slightly red.

"Do you. . . want to go on another date today?" An Luxia asked.

Two hours later, the car stopped in front of the place An Luxia had picked. Mo Han got out of the car, walking around to help open the door for her.

As they stepped out, Mo Han took a look at the words written on the top of the building.

"A shooting range?"
