Chapter 37: Calculate this Account
After the Zhou family's banquet was over and the family was taking a car to go home, Xie Yuduo went to hold Chen Qi's hand as usual, but she shook him off and got into the car by herself, holding onto the railing.
He felt a little strange and thought secretly all the way while riding on his horse, but he didn't realize that he had done anything wrong today.
After arriving home, when getting out of the car, Chen Qi naturally didn't let him help her and went back to her room on her own.
Looking at Chen Qi's back as she walked away quickly, he was about to catch up to her and ask her something, but a clerk came to look for her, so he had to go back to the shop to get busy.
By the time I finished my work and returned to the yard, it was already dark.
When Xie Yuduo walked to the door, he found that there was no light on in the house today.
This is really strange. In the past, no matter how late she came back, she always left a light on for herself.
Xie Yuduo realized that something was wrong. After thinking about it, he turned around and went to the west wing. Fortunately, Yu Jing was still awake.
"Help me think about it. Did anyone make my sister-in-law angry today?"
Yu Jing sat in the quilt, holding her cheek and thinking for a long time.
"Today, we met my eldest aunt, Aunt Zhao, and my third cousin, and talked for a while."
"Oh, what did you say?"
"I didn't say anything!"
The little jade mirror didn't realize anything was wrong.
"Oh yes, my third cousin said I'm ugly!"
"Well...she's the ugly one, ignore them."
Xie Yuduo touched his sister's head helplessly, told her to go to bed early, turned around and asked Xiao Ling again.
Xiao Ling only said one sentence.
"One of my cousins said that her third cousin and the second master got along very well together since they were young, and they often played house together when they were little... meaning that the two of them were a good match."
When Xie Yuduo heard this, he suddenly felt overwhelmed.
At the beginning, as soon as the news of his engagement spread, his cousin came hurriedly and wanted to marry his third sister to him, saying that they knew each other well and it would be a close relationship.
Xie Yuduo refused without waiting for her to finish.
Now, I don’t know what’s wrong with her that she still wants to match her daughter with a married man like me?
Xie Yuduo sighed, thanked Xiao Ling, turned around and went back to his room, silently lighting a small lamp in the darkness.
He walked in quietly and saw Chen Qi lying on the bed, facing inward on her side. He didn't know whether she was asleep or not.
Xie Yuduo thought that he smelled of alcohol, so he went to the bathroom to wash up first.
After washing off the smell of alcohol and changing into clean clothes and pajamas, he quietly lay down on the bed and stretched out his hand to touch Chen Qi's waist.
With a "snap", the hand was knocked off.
He really didn't sleep and seemed still angry.
It’s good that you didn’t sleep.
As long as you don’t sleep, there is still a chance.
"Yue'er hasn't slept yet?" he said softly.
Chen Qi said nothing.
Xie Yuduo stretched out his big hands, and easily wrapped his arms and legs around her body.
Chen Qi, who was sulking in the bed, immediately started to struggle free, but was unable to do so.
He buried his head in her soft neck and said in a muffled voice, "Xiao Yue'er, I missed you so much today."
The heat all over the body makes people feel itchy.
Seeing that Chen Qi remained silent, he continued.
"I met a lot of people today and talked a lot, but I couldn't help but wonder, what's my Xiaoyue doing? Is she eating enough? Is she getting some fresh air?"
He buried his head deeper and whispered in her ear.
"Did you miss me?"
Chen Qi originally wanted to settle the score with him, but now she felt a little soft-hearted because of his childish behavior - after all, it was not his fault, he did not show up from beginning to end.
But when she thought about how they were childhood sweethearts and how they played house when they were young, with all the talk about bride and groom, she became furious.
"Humph, I'm not thinking about you. I don't know who you're thinking about."
Chen Qi couldn't help but kick him in the bed.
He didn't hide, but just groaned in Shen Qi's ear.
"Ugh...it hurts...what's wrong? Did the jade mirror make you angry?"
He asked even though he knew the answer.
"Humph, Yu Jing and you didn't grow up together, play house, or get married. Why should I be angry with her?"
Xie Yuduo turned her body over.
"Is there such a thing? Who said that? How come I don't know? It has never happened. I have only been married to you and you in my life."
"Bah, have you grown up yet? Didn't you play house when you were a kid? It was just... with your damn third cousin!"
He was serious and his tone was very serious.
"Absolutely not. When I was little, I only climbed trees and fought with boys. I never played with girls."
Seeing that his expression was serious and his tone was earnest, and that he didn't sound like he was lying, Chen Qi's anger subsided a lot.
"really?"
"I swear to heaven, it's truer than pearls!"
Chen Qi fell on the pillow, her black hair scattered on the pillow, and she couldn't help humming.
"Then, I'll trust you again."
Xie Yuduo looked at her black hair and fair face, which made her look more like distant mountains and eyes like autumn water. He couldn't help but feel moved and moved closer to smell the fragrance of her hair.
Chen Qi stretched out her hand to hold him back, and pushed him away for a distance.
"However, it's too early for you to say that today. When I was at the banquet today, I heard that several masters and young masters have recently married concubines. I see that your family has concubines in the west courtyard as well. I'm sure you will learn to take in concubines in the future. If you do, you won't just be married to me and have a wedding ceremony with me."
He grabbed Chen Qi's hand that was pushing him with his backhand, tightened his grip a little, and his eyebrows were twisted into knots.
"Whoever has such an idea will be punished by heaven and earth!"
Chen Qi wanted to turn over and ignore him, but he held her hands tightly.
"Let go."
Of course not.
“It hurts!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the strength in his hands loosened a little.
Chen Qi was secretly proud of herself - this was a little trick she had figured out a long time ago.
If he was asked to be gentler and slower, the man would definitely ignore him. Instead, he would be more interested and move more vigorously.
Only when she cried out "it hurts" would he stop doing it, and be lighter, slower and more gentle.
Chen Qi pulled his hand away, rolled over, and spoke in a deliberately provocative tone.
"Bah, who would have such an idea? It's not certain!"
Xie Yuduo didn't realize that he was being held tightly in someone's hands. He was stunned for a second, then followed closely.
"If, if there comes such a day, what will you do?"
Chen Qi didn't think about this seriously and was silent for a second.
"Then I will take Xiao Ling back to Baihe Town."
Xie Yuduo put his nose close to her ear again, rubbing her like a puppy while lowering his voice.
"Wrong."
"What's wrong?"
Chen Qi was rubbed by him again and again, and the hot breath on her neck made her feel numb all over her body.
He whispered, "Leave Xiao Ling here first."
"Then what?"
"Then, take me back."
He suddenly threw away the troublesome quilt and started to move without any hesitation.
Chen Qi was stubborn at first and was determined to settle the score with him, but when the score became tangled, she finally gave in.
"Well... okay... I'll take you back... gently, gently..."
