Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When they returned to Maple Residence, it was close to 10 p.m. There was still food in the pot that w.a.n.g Hui had left to keep warm on the stove.
Xi Xiaye did not quite have an appet.i.te, yet because Mu Yuchen insisted, she drank two and a half bowls of soup before going upstairs for a bath.
When Mu Yuchen finished tidying up and went upstairs, more than half an hour had pa.s.sed. The bedroom was quiet while the bathroom light was still switched on, yet there was no sound of water running.
“Xiaye?” He called out quite a few times, but there was no answer from her. Concern surfaced between his brows as he immediately walked towards the bathroom without a second thought.
He pushed the bathroom door open, and a dense mist came towards him. The hazy mist brought a faint scent with it. He squinted through the haziness and quickly saw the pet.i.te woman who was soaking in the bathtub.
Her pet.i.te figure hid underneath the bath towel that was hung up whilst her face was covered with another towel. Clearly, she had fallen asleep.
He shook his head helplessly and sighed. Then, he walked over, grabbing a towel from the rack. Just as he was about to carry her up, unexpectedly, Xi Xiaye awoke at that moment. Her long eyelashes fluttered for a few moments, and she opened her eyes in a stupor. In the midst of her absent-mindedness, she saw the man standing by her side.
With a towel in his hand…
She rubbed her eyes distractedly. Upon taking a clearer look at him, she then asked with her raspy voice, “Are you done tidying up?”
She did not react to her current state. With just a slight movement, the figure beneath the hovering towel would be revealed. When she looked at the man, she swiftly caught the fireworks that ignited in his eyes but were quickly concealed. He was staring at her.
She reflexively followed his gaze towards herself and realized…
“Ah!” She cried out, then quickly caught the towel and pulled it towards her chest, glaring at him as she blurted out, “Immoral!”
She softly reprimanded him as she held the towel tightly around her. Her brows furrowed into a knot.
Hmm?
Immoral?
Master Mu seemed to be quite fascinated by this adjective of hers. This was the first time someone called him immoral!
When she saw her starry eyes glower at him and her beautiful face colored in blush, he could not help but chuckle softly. Then, he put the towel in his hand back onto the rack. He was at ease and peered down upon her.
“Immoral? You didn’t say that the night before yesterday, Missus.”
The night before yesterday…
As Xi Xiaye tried to recall what happened, she could not help but cover her face and angrily glare at him. “Go out for a while. I want to put on my clothes. Also, next time, you aren’t allowed to scorn me. I’m a person with much integrity.”
When he heard this, Mu Yuchen could not help but laugh out softly again. He had always known that his wife was quite an interesting girl. Unexpectedly, when she uttered this, it was really quite hilarious.
“Score? Explain to me what this word means. Also, what is integrity? Do you think that these things still exist between us? Hmm?”
He suddenly lowered his body and his deep and magnetic voice came silently like the warm breeze. When his breath brushed past her eyes, she could not help but tremble slightly. Before she could react, Mr. Mu had already picked that wet towel up with his fingertips, and consequently, the scene beneath the towel was plainly visible…
Swoosh!
“Give that back to me!”
She waved a hand and slapped the surface of the water. When it splashed everywhere, she pulled him into the bathtub, then took the bath towel from the side and quickly wrapped herself up. Although she wanted to escape, the man was quicker than her. His long arms extended toward her and in the next instant, he accurately circled his arms around her waist. His tall figure instantly blocked her like a wall.
He instantly trapped the tiny Xi Xiaye against the wall.
“Initially, I was thinking about letting you go, but you asked for it, especially since I think you look quite energetic now.”
His black shirt was soaked while his eyes were kindling with fireworks as he fixed his gaze onto her, and his hand locked her hands that were going haywire down.
As she was about to be burned by his gaze, she could not help but tremble and softly chide, “I didn’t know you had the potential to be a pervert!”
“You aren’t wearing anything. If I can still stay cool, Missus, your happiness in life from now on should be worrying, understood?”
“I don’t understand… The night before yesterday, didn’t we just…?” she muttered.
“If you ate the night before yesterday, would you still eat today?” he answered rather justifiably.
“I only drank soup tonight. Okay, fine. My relative is visiting, Mr. Mu.”
“Didn’t they just leave last week?”
“I’m very tired…”
“I think you look quite energetic!”
“I… Mmm!”
This man was great when he was usually serious, but when it came to these restless moments, she could never reject him, so she could only reciprocate.
Without waiting for her to react, she was already put onto the bed. The bedroom lights were not turned on. Even the wall lamp was switched off. The only faint light came from the bathroom and the streetlamps from the yard outside.
“Ah Shi… Ah Shi said… The wedding dresses are here…”
Her breath was unsteady as her hands trembled while they unb.u.t.toned his shirt, and he continued to be busy taking her temperature and scent from her collarbones in.
“It’s in the closet. We’ll try them on tomorrow,” said his raspy voice briefly, then he quickly pulled the towel on her away
In the darkness, you could only see several shadows thrown on the ground near the bed. After a while, the low melodious sounds of lovemaking were heard.
She was increasingly irresistible to him. Even after every mad indulgence, he still felt an indescribable feeling. He wished he could absorb her into his bloodstream and have them flow as one.
He cared more and more about her, to the point that he did not want to see her frown at all. It was so much that he wanted to share her every emotion. He thought that she should be feeling the same.
Otherwise, she would not have recklessly rushed straight to City B because she was worried about him. When she thought that he was hurt, she had wept sadly.
He should keep the sweet parts of her in his heart and cherish her.
After his few rounds of torment, and when they were resting from the battle, she asked, “Mu Yuchen, will we always be like this?”
He subconsciously tightened his arms around her and answered with certainty, “We will.”
She smiled happily and quickly planted a light kiss on his cheek. She was in a pleasant mood as she pulled his hand and opened his palm. Mysteriously, she scrawled a few words on his palm.
“Till death do us apart?”
She had just finished writing when the man immediately read the words out loud. As he watched her bright little face underneath the faint light, his heart melted.
