89 Chapter 89
◎Her fingertips trembled slightly, and she heard a soft hum from him.◎
dirty?
The girl had a pale face, which should have made her look pitiable, but at this moment she pretended to be strong, pouted her lips, and turned her head away, unwilling to look at him.
Wei Che was stunned by the sudden use of the word "dirty" and chased after her, asking, "...Where am I dirty?"
"It's dirty everywhere." Xu Qinghe avoided his face and turned her head to the other side.
How could someone who spent the entire night in Yichunlou not be dirty?
But soon he grabbed her neck again and forced her to face him, forehead to forehead, and even the tips of their noses were almost touching.
"...Tell me clearly, where exactly am I dirty?"
"I told you, it's dirty everywhere." Xu Qinghe looked straight ahead without showing any fear. He squeezed out the last four words from between his teeth, word by word.
Wei Che was so angry that he laughed and clenched his back teeth.
He first worked hard in Yichunlou for a whole day and night, and then spent the entire day worried beside her bed. Now all he got in return was a disgusted "dirty" from the girl?
He tightened his arms, bringing them closer together, their breath mingling.
The other hand held hers again, first pressing it against her cheek, then stroking the bulge at her throat, and finally reaching in through his collar to stroke his cotton-wrapped chest.
She wanted to pull her hand back, but he wouldn't let her. He kept asking her, "Where is dirty? Here? Here? Or... here?"
He suddenly moved down, took her hand, and covered the hot area.
The moment Xu Qinghe touched it, her fingertips trembled subconsciously, and a light hum from the man sounded in her ears.
Her ears immediately turned red, and she tried to pull her hand back, but he held her tightly there and she couldn't move.
The more she struggled, the more unbridled the smile on Wei Che's lips became.
"Wei Che, you...you bastard!"
The girl in his arms blushed with anxiety, and compared to her pale face just now, she naturally looked more lively and vivid.
Wei Che held her hands there and moved them around, while his other hand held the back of her neck, pushing her towards him.
"Yes... I'm a bastard..." His burning eyes cast down and landed on her lips which were still a little chapped due to her illness.
"If you're a bastard, you're bound to do some bastard things..."
Xu Qinghe's cheeks were burning because of his hot breath on her face, and the next moment, his hot lips were on her again.
From the cheek to the corner of the lips, lingering over and over again.
Then he held her lips and sucked them.
At the moment when the tips of their tongues entangled with each other, there was a bitter medicinal taste lingering in it, and it was unclear whether it was hers or his.
Xu Qinghe was still struggling at first, but he was still sick, so how could he have the strength to do it?
In addition, Wei Che's kisses had always been difficult for her to resist, and it didn't take long for her body to go limp.
Wei Che hugged the girl, who had become as soft as a puddle of water, even tighter, wishing he could bury his head in her neck and kiss her.
But soon, he tasted a bit of hot salty taste on his lips.
"...Why are you crying again?" Wei Che stopped, sighed softly, and finally let go of her hand.
When she opened her eyes, she saw two crystal tears hanging on the girl's cheeks, still flowing down along the previous tear marks.
No matter how passionate his reaction was, it would have been extinguished by the girl's tears. Besides, he was just teasing her. She was sick now, so where would he get all those thoughts from?
He raised his hand and wiped away the tears with the back of his calloused fingers. He asked her softly, "Is it so dirty? Is it so dirty that it makes you cry?"
Xu Qinghe's heart was about to open a little, but she was disgusted by him staying overnight at Yichunlou and closed it tightly.
Now this person clearly knows that she hates him, but he still comes over to do those stupid things. It's just... just...
"It's just a complete jerk..."
Wei Che held the girl, who was unable to break free, in his arms, patting her gently like a child. "Then may I ask, Princess, can you listen to this idiot's explanation now?"
At first he was indeed confused by the word "dirty", but after a while, what else could he not understand?
It was obvious that this girl felt that since he was a real couple with her and then touched other people, he was already a dirty man.
Then he is really wronged.
The person in his arms didn't say anything, so he assumed she wanted to hear it, so he said, "I did go to Yichun Tower, but I was doing business. I didn't listen to any music or watch any dancing. Although I called a few girls, it was just a cover. In reality, I didn't do anything. Really. If you don't believe me, I'll call my people over to you, and you can ask them in person."
Xu Qinghe snorted coldly, and the honest faces of the Chen brothers appeared in front of him.
But he thought in his heart that his people would naturally speak on his side.
Wei Che lowered his eyes and took a look. Just one glance and he knew what the girl was secretly criticizing him about.
"If you still don't believe me, I'll take off my clothes and you can check to see if the marks on my body are only yours. If you find any traces of someone else, you can call me a bastard."
Having said that, he really wanted to untie his waist belt, and still held her hand and led her to do it.
“…You bastard!” Xu Qinghe was dumbfounded by the man’s shameless behavior. Her pretty and pale face turned red with anger, and she just glared at him.
"Okay, okay, I was just teasing you." Wei Che let go of her and wanted to put the girl's delicate fingertips on his lips and kiss her, but he didn't dare to do it in the end.
"Anyway, I stayed there for a day and a night. Even if I jump into the Yellow River, I can't clear myself of this. Even if I call all the girls in Yichunlou to serve as witnesses, you will think that I colluded with them in advance."
He sighed, pretending to be wronged. "Before, it was just others who misunderstood me, but now even you misunderstand me. I really don't know how I can live in this world anymore."
Xu Qinghe felt weak all over and leaned limply on his shoulder.
She sniffed lightly, her face expressionless as she snorted coldly, "Since you feel you can't survive, it's better to just end it all."
Wei Che raised his eyebrows and actually pulled out a dagger from somewhere. He immediately pointed the tip of the blade towards him, as if to stab him: "Since the princess has said so, what's the point of me living?"
Xu Qinghe watched coldly, without trying to stop him, just waiting to see how his show would end.
This person always teases her and never tells the truth.
Unexpectedly, a cold light flashed by, and with a "puff" sound, the man actually stabbed the dagger into his right shoulder!
"You're crazy!" Xu Qinghe immediately pulled out the dagger that had already stabbed halfway into his flesh. He no longer cared whether it was dirty or not. He quickly folded his hands and covered it with his hands. He shouted out the window, "Nanzhi, quickly call the court doctor!"
The knife pierced into his flesh, and Wei Che felt so much pain that beads of sweat broke out on his head. However, seeing the girl's sharp tongue but kind heart, he still managed to pull up a smile: "The princess doesn't want me to die either, does she?"
Xu Qinghe's eyes turned red with anxiety. The wound on his body had not healed yet, and she had not even checked whether it had scabbed over, but this man had just made a new wound on himself out of mischief.
"Are you stupid? You can't even tell the difference between angry and kind words?"
The girl in front of him was not only blushing, but her eyes were also red. She was like an angry little rabbit, baring her white teeth and wanting to bite him.
But she still couldn't bear to do it, so she just bared her teeth to scare him, but didn't dare to move at all.
Wei Che then covered her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, I know my limits. It just hurts a little, nothing vital."
Because the prince had suffered a "leg injury" these days, the Duke's wife simply arranged for the court physician to stay in Fengheyuan. Although he only lived in the outer wing, it was really close.
So before Xu Qinghe could reply, the court doctor was hurriedly pulled over.
Xu Qinghe: "Hurry up and give it to me—"
Wei Che interrupted her: "Quickly show it to the princess. She was sweating just now. Is she feeling better now?"
After he finished speaking, he leaned over to whisper in her ear: "I was injured in my own room. If this gets out, what should I say?"
What should I say? Of course I'm telling the truth. He was crazy and had to stab himself!
Although he thought so, Xu Qinghe didn't say anything and just let the court doctor take his pulse.
"Since you've already started sweating, you're no longer in danger. Princess, just take the medicine on time. Having said that, it's best to stay alert at night. If you develop a high fever again, follow my method to reduce it."
Wei Che breathed a sigh of relief and ordered someone to send the court doctor away safely.
For a moment, they were the only two people left in the room.
Xu Qinghe had already broken free from his arms and sat very far away from him, almost at the end of the bed.
"Tell someone to invite Young Master Fu over." Xu Qinghe said. The injury on his body had to be treated.
Wei Che: "Why bother? It would be great if the princess came, just to 'check it out'."
Xu Qinghe glared at him coldly, and the words he wanted to say remained in his eyes.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. The kitchen prepared some medicinal food, it should be healed by now, so take advantage of it. I'm going to the front yard to tend to this injury."
When Xu Qinghe mentioned medicinal food, his mouth was filled with bitterness, and he naturally felt resistance.
I didn't expect that when the food was served, I realized that it was just a light home-cooked meal.
This bastard is teasing her again.
She lowered her head and picked up her chopsticks. Her brain reaction was slow due to her illness, but now she came to her senses.
When Wei Che came back half an hour later after finishing his preparations, she asked, "Why did you bother me when I woke up just now?"
Wei Che raised his lips, his face a shade paler than before, but a relaxed smile played across his eyes. "Didn't the princess guess it? You've had a high fever for so long. The court doctor said that sweating would help, otherwise you'll have trouble sleeping tonight."
Xu Qinghe lowered her eyes and stroked her soft, white inner garment in a trance.
He had never had any affair with other girls before, and she believed it the night they became husband and wife.
This man looked confident and somewhat relaxed, but he actually stumbled while doing it, which made both of them very uncomfortable. It was not until later that they finally got the hang of it.
But this time…
It seemed she could only believe his one-sided story. She couldn't really strip someone's clothes to check, could she? Besides, if this really meant leaving no trace, then it should be... possible, right?
etc.
Xu Qinghe paused in stroking the fabric.
No, that's totally wrong.
She frowned silently, realizing how their conflict had unconsciously shifted from their previous quarrel to whether he had ever been to Yichunlou for pleasure.
She raised her eyes and suddenly looked at the man who was sitting on the edge of the bed playing with a lock of her hair.
Wei Che obviously didn't dare to look at her. He only glanced at her once and then quickly looked away.
"Sir, why don't you tell me how we ended up like this?"
How did it go from being deceived and the truth concealed that night to now being pleasure-seeking and proving one's innocence?
Wei Che touched his nose, knowing he couldn't play dumb anymore, so he said, "Alright, I'll tell you the truth. I lied to you about marrying you, and I was afraid you'd be angry, so doesn't this mean I have to find a way to divert your attention elsewhere?"
In fact, taverns and gambling houses can be used for meetings, but he chose to set the location at Yichun Tower.
Xu Qinghe stared at her closely, his eyes seemed indifferent, but it made Wei Che feel a chill on his back for no reason.
She asked, "What else?"
Wei Che: “No more.”
Xu Qinghe: "If you don't want to tell me, get out and sleep."
Wei Che: ...
He stood up, turned around, and strode out the door.
Xu Qinghe did not stop him, but just glanced at him coldly. After a while, the man really came back, touching his nose.
Wei Che: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you the truth. This time it's really true. I came out of the room that night and didn't sleep all night. I thought a lot."
They had just done those intimate and loving things, and their feelings should have been at their strongest, so why did they start arguing for no reason?
Wei Che thought about what happened that night carefully and realized that the girl was not angry at first. It was he who felt a surge of anger in his heart after discovering that she was indifferent to the fact that he had deceived her.
"Why didn't you react to the expiration? It's simply because you don't care about me at all. You still treat this marriage as a transaction, and even what you did is just a transaction or a reward. Just like you said, if it were anyone else, you would do the same."
Unconsciously, Xu Qinghe was the first to look away.
Many of the words spoken that night were clearly spoken at random.
But now if she were asked to admit with her own mouth, "If it were someone else, I wouldn't do this," she naturally couldn't say it.
Seeing that she didn't react, Wei Che continued, "But I didn't treat this as a transaction. I just like you, so I want you, and only you. But your words really hurt me, and I ran away. When I came to my senses, I felt ashamed, so I wanted to let it go."
"I went to Yichun Tower so I could get some serious work done, and secondly, I wanted to prove to you that I, Wei Che, don't have to be with you. But when I came back and heard you had hired a court physician, all the pride and dignity, all the unhappiness, didn't matter anymore. Instead, I wished I could grow wings and fly back."
"So, the final truth is, Xu Qinghe, I really can't live without you."
After the words fell to the ground, there was silence.
There was no wind tonight, and the lanterns in the corridor did not sway, but just burned quietly there. For a moment, the only sound in the two people's ears was the noisy chirping of insects outside.
The candle on the small table suddenly made a beeping sound. Xu Qinghe seemed to have just come to his senses. He quickly rolled up the quilt and lay down on his side.
After a while, she turned her back to him and said sullenly, "Now that you've finished talking and have cleaned yourself up, come up and sleep."
Wei Che was overjoyed and quickly got on the bed, but he also turned over and faced the girl's back.
He raised his hand, poked her thin shoulder, and whispered, "Can I... hold you while I sleep?"
Xu Qinghe hid under the quilt, moved forward, and replied coldly, "No."
Wei Che also chased after him, chasing him until he was pressed against the bed frame. "You had a high fever in the middle of the night. What if you bit yourself again? You bit your lips so badly. Since I'm holding you, you can just bite me directly."
When did this guy become so talkative?
Xu Qinghe turned around suddenly, and what she saw was Wei Che's magnified handsome face. She was startled and subconsciously dodged backwards, and her head hit the bed frame behind her. The pain made her almost see stars.
"You have to go against me to piss me off, don't you?"
Wei Che took the opportunity to rub someone's head and hugged him without saying anything: "How could that be? I'm just worried about you. I'm afraid you'll hurt yourself, really."
Xu Qinghe couldn't see his face clearly, but from his tone, it seemed that this man was most likely smiling secretly with the corners of his mouth curled up.
Of course Wei Che was secretly happy.
Just because this girl accidentally heard his murmur, he caused such a big mess. Now that he finally managed to divert her attention, how could he not be secretly happy?
Fortunately, she didn't suspect anything else, thank God.
Although the two were hugging each other - to be exact, Wei Che was holding Xu Qinghe and the blanket in his arms forcefully - summer was hot after all, and these days were the hottest days of summer. Even if the summer heat had dissipated at night, the heat accumulated over the days was no joke.
Before long, Xu Qinghe was sweating profusely.
She pushed the person in front of her: "Let me go, it's too hot."
Wei Che hugged her even tighter, and his voice came from above Xu Qinghe's head: "I won't let go. What if I let go and you won't let me hug you anymore?"
From the sound of it, it was clear that he was still laughing!
Xu Qinghe was so angry that her teeth were itching, and she was almost suffocated by him to the point of fainting. She was still thinking indignantly in her heart, isn't this person uncomfortable in such a hot day!
In the end, she finally compromised. Before she was suffocated by him, she said coldly, "Let me go first, and let you hug me. Really."
Wei Che's mouth corners were raised so much that they almost hit his eyebrows. Finally, he let her go as she wished. Just as he was about to move closer to ask for a scolding with a smile, he first saw the girl's beautiful face, and then saw a cunning flash in her eyes.
……sly?
That’s right, the kind of cunning that comes with ulterior motives.
Before he could react, he felt a pain in his leg, followed by a dull "bang", and he was kicked under the bed by the girl with the quilt!
The moment the wound on his back touched the ground, Wei Che was still a little bit in disbelief.
He was actually kicked under the bed by this girl?
