Married a Secret Billionaire

Zuko stared at Lina in astonishment. She had brought him a can of green tea, but it felt like a scalding hot potato that could scorch his hands.

“What’s wrong?” Lina smiled playfully. “You drink beverages from others, but when I give one to you, it’s like poison. Are you that afraid?”

Zuko quickly put the can down and reached for her hand. “Lina!”

Lina turned away, and Zuko embraced her from behind. She struggled a bit but could not break free from his strong grip, so she surrendered and let him hold her. Although she stopped moving, her eyes glanced elsewhere.

“Lina,” Zuko whispered into her ear. His low, husky voice carried a hint of remorse and innocence. “I don’t know why she sent these to me.”

“Are the photos photoshopped?” she asked.

“Well…” Zuko was taken aback and truthfully admitted, “No.”

Lina turned to look at him, her cheeks a bit puffed up. “So, you really took her to the beach?”

“When… you were not around,” Zuko explained incoherently, “She came to visit in Centrolis. My parents were worried about her safety and took her to our family’s private beach.

“Lina, look!” Zuko zoomed in on the photos. “Look at my expression at that time! I didn’t even smile! I was very reluctant because I always thought that the beach was reserved for you and that I could only take you there!”

Lina pouted, but her anger had already subsided by half. She found it amusing that she had gotten jealous over such a little thing. After all, Zuko was just a nine-year-old child at that time. What could he do?
