Chapter 184 The Scheming Young Man 27
The air was filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms. Many peach trees were planted around the house, which was connected by a wooden bridge. Under the bridge was a clear lake, and some exquisite lanterns were hung around the house. The lanterns were lit up and looked particularly beautiful in the dark night.
"This place is quite beautiful," Xu Qiuqiu thought to herself.
Shen Yuchen's gaze remained fixed on her. Seeing the light in her eyes, he asked with great pleasure, "Does Qiuqiu like it here?"
“I like it because A-Chen is here.” Xu Qiuqiu came back to her senses, looked up at him, and smiled sweetly at him.
A warm feeling welled up in Shen Yuchen's heart, and excitement and joy filled his heart. "Then, Qiuqiu, will you live here with me forever?"
Xu Qiuqiu looked at him, puzzled. "Achen, why are you so persistent about staying here?"
Shen Yuchen fell silent. He had seen her every day these past few days and he loved this world where it was just the two of them alone, where no one would disturb them.
Qiuqiu says she likes him now, but so many things have changed since she left. What if she falls for someone else?
As she meets more and more people, will she think that a husband who wants to possess her exclusively is abnormal or sick? Even if he is confident that he can kill everyone who gets close to her, will her heart always stay with him?
He tightened his grip on her waist and walked silently into the room where the bathtub was.
Xu Qiuqiu didn't understand why he suddenly stopped talking. She suddenly felt that the atmosphere was eerily quiet. Then he gently put her down.
She had barely regained her footing when he reached out to help her undress. She quickly grabbed his hand, asking nervously, "A-Chen, what are you trying to do?"
“I’ll serve my wife while she bathes.” Shen Yuchen looked at her innocently. “Is there anything wrong with that?”
Xu Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment because she hadn't seen him so well-behaved in a long time. She loosened her grip for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she was only wearing a pair of underwear.
She stopped him from undressing her, feeling both ashamed and indignant. "No need, I'll wash myself. I'm not used to being waited on!"
Shen Yuchen corrected, "But I am not just anyone, I am Qiuqiu's husband."
Finally, he continued, "Qiuqiu, I can help you wash the parts you can't reach."
Without an outer garment, and with the night air slightly chilly, Xu Qiuqiu couldn't help but shiver.
He was impeccably dressed, while she was disheveled; the contrast filled her with both shame and anger. "What part of me can't I wash? Get out!"
Seeing that she was truly angry, Shen Yuchen recalled her dazed expression earlier, and her face immediately turned aggrieved. "I just wanted to help Qiuqiu bathe and change, but Qiuqiu was so mean to me..."
His voice choked with emotion, and he looked at her with vulnerable eyes, "My lady, am I not even allowed to fulfill the duties of a husband?"
"Don't try that on me..." Xu Qiuqiu turned her head away from him.
Seeing her ears turn red, Shen Yuchen knew she liked it. He reached out and hooked her fingers around his, looking at her expectantly, his voice like a coquettish whisper, the last syllable drawn out, "My lady..."
His voice stirred her heart, and Xu Qiuqiu couldn't help but glance at him, only to be met with his captivating and alluring gaze. She was stunned once again.
"Shall I serve you while you bathe, my lady?" Shen Yuchen continued to hook her fingers and smiled at her.
In the candlelight, his smile was as alluring and captivating as a red lotus, and Xu Qiuqiu nodded as if possessed.
With the last piece of covering removed, Xu Qiuqiu suddenly realized that she had been tricked by him.
