Chapter 59: Well, Mrs. Shen looks pretty even when she's shy
Shen Xichuan supported his body and stepped back.
His gaze fell on Xu Jialan's face, and he paused for half a second before chuckling softly, "Did you hear that clearly? If not, let me say it again?"
There was an indescribable indulgence and doting in his tone.
Xu Jialan also looked at him, "Are you... serious?"
Hearing this, Shen Xichuan slowly put away his smile and looked at her steadily.
"You hesitate, because you think I'm not serious?"
"No..." Xu Jialan shook his head quickly.
She just couldn't believe it.
"Xu Jialan, my attitude towards marriage has always been serious and loyal. Now that I'm married, there's no way I'll get divorced."
At this point, he paused and said, "Except for being widowed, of course."
Xu Jialan's fingertips trembled.
"Perhaps, we got married too quickly, which gave you the wrong impression that I wasn't serious about marriage..."
Xu Jialan interrupted him, "I don't think so, I just..."
Shen Xichuan paused for half a second, his eyes flickering slightly, “Just what?”
Xu Jialan looked at him, his heart beating faster and faster. He hesitated for a moment and did not answer the question. Instead, he slowly said, "Okay."
The man raised his eyebrows slightly, "Hmm? What can I do?"
Xu Jialan took a deep breath and said, "My answer to your question is yes."
Shen Xichuan’s expression paused, “Wait, if I remember correctly, I just asked, can I pursue you?”
Xu Jialan looked at him and said nothing.
"And you agree now, don't you?"
Shen Xichuan was confirming her answer.
Xu Jialan finally mustered up the courage to give the answer, but after being asked this question, he started to back off.
"If you didn't hear clearly, forget it."
Her ears were burning, she pursed her lips, walked around him, and wanted to get up and leave.
“No.” Shen Xichuan smiled, “There is no one like you.”
He reached out, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms.
Xu Jialan fell into his arms unexpectedly and was held in his arms loosely.
Shen Xichuan protected her waist and back, lowering his eyes to look at the girl in his arms.
"You promised." he said.
Xu Jialan's eyelashes trembled, but he didn't say anything.
The familiar scent of sandalwood lingered at the tip of her nose, as if constantly stimulating her nerves.
The man's burning gaze remained on her face.
He took in the shyness and nervousness on her face.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a beautiful arc, "Xu Jialan."
The girl responded softly, "Yeah."
"Can I ask you another question?" he said.
Xu Jialan raised his eyes and glanced at him.
That look seemed to be asking him why he had so many questions?
Shen Xichuan couldn't help laughing and uttered, "It's nothing, just...can I kiss you?"
He was always direct, but also gentlemanly enough.
Xu Jialan's expression froze for a moment.
Seeing her dazed, the man raised his eyebrows, a smile on his lips, and asked again, "Is it okay?"
After Xu Jialan came to his senses, he really didn't want to pay attention to him.
How should she answer this question?
"If you didn't refuse, then it means it's okay?" Shen Xichuan said to himself.
Xu Jialan lowered his eyelashes slightly and did not look at him.
His right hand tightly grasped the hem of his clothes.
Shen Xichuan saw her movements from the corner of his eyes, the smile on his lips deepened, and a hint of doting flashed in his eyes.
He lowered his eyes to look at her, then slowly lowered his head and moved closer.
Xu Jialan didn't move.
The distance between their noses slowly shortened.
Shen Xichuan's eyes left her lips and glanced at her trembling long eyelashes.
As he got closer, Xu Jialan's chest rose and fell more violently.
The next second, a warm kiss landed on the forehead.
Xu Jialan was stunned.
The hot breath sprayed on the forehead, as if it was going to burn the skin red.
Shen Xichuan looked down.
He gently rubbed the tip of her small nose.
Xu Jialan couldn't help but hold his breath.
She seemed to hear a very light laugh.
Before she could react, she felt a warm touch on her nose again.
Shen Xichuan looked at the faint blush on her cheeks and the tip of her nose, and curled his lips.
He suddenly called out, "Lanlan."
Xu Jialan looked up at him reflexively.
The man's handsome face suddenly enlarged.
She widened her eyes slightly.
A low, hoarse voice sounded in my ears, "Close your eyes."
Xu Jialan closed his eyes obediently.
In the darkness, all sensations are gradually magnified.
She felt someone carefully cupping her face.
Kiss her tenderly.
Xu Jialan loosened his grip on the hem of her clothes.
By the time she reacted, she had already hugged the man in front of her.
Xu Jialan was stunned for a few seconds.
I could clearly feel the firmness of his back under my palm.
His fingertips curled up, but in the end he was reluctant to let go, and instead tightened his grip slightly.
Perhaps because he was afraid that she would be shy, Shen Xichuan let go of her after not kissing her for long.
But Xu Jialan still blushed.
Looking at the light pink on her face, Shen Xichuan chuckled softly, and his chest vibrated.
"Are you so easily shy?"
Xu Jialan was angry, "Shen Xichuan."
She simply didn't look at him and buried herself in the man's arms, trying to hide her blushing.
Shen Xichuan was naturally happy to accept his little wife's embrace.
He rested his chin on the top of her head and hugged her back.
“Well, Mrs. Shen looks good even when she’s shy.”
The man's voice had an indescribable hoarseness.
Xu Jialan's face turned even redder.
She could hear the sound of his heartbeat, beating very fast.
Xu Jialan paused and counted silently.
Finally, at an angle that Shen Xichuan couldn't see, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
It turns out he wasn't that calm after all.
At least not as peaceful as it looks.
Shen Xichuan noticed something and glanced down at her.
Just seeing the smile on her lips, he paused, "What are you laughing at? Huh?"
Xu Jialan looked up at him, not as nervous as at first, and the smile on the corner of his mouth did not deliberately hide.
She pursed her lips and chuckled, then raised her hand and pointed at the position of his heart.
Shen Xichuan’s expression paused.
Xu Jialan's voice then rang out, "Your heartbeat is very fast."
Shen Xichuan: “…”
"Are you nervous?"
The man looked at her smiling face quietly for a few seconds, but couldn't help but pinch the skin on her waist. "Why can't I be nervous? Huh?"
Xu Jialan burst out laughing.
“Shen Xichuan, let me go.”
The man raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Are you ticklish?"
Xu Jialan shook his head, pursed his lips to hold back his laughter, and quickly slipped away when he wasn't paying attention.
Shen Xichuan, who had caught nothing, was silent for a few seconds, then laughed out loud.
He looked back.
Then I saw Xu Jialan running away in a hurry.
He smiled helplessly and shook his head, “I won’t chase you, don’t fall.”
"Bang--"
He was answered by the sound of the bedroom door closing.
Shen Xichuan: “…”
