Every word she uttered was a reason for "not being angry," yet her eyes betrayed an awkward resentment.
But her anger actually proved that she cared about him.
She's so sensitive; how could she not sense the growing distance between them?
Lu Yan smelled her sweet fragrance, and his heart was full.
Xia Yixin had no idea what he was thinking. She just felt childish and ashamed, and wanted to break free from him.
He simply turned her around and kissed her forcefully.
First, calm the little girl down.
She struggled unhappily, inexplicably wanting to throw a tantrum.
But in the end, she succumbed to the deepest feelings in her heart; she couldn't bring herself to reject him, and she missed him.
After a long while, Lu Yan finally released the sulking girl and gazed at her intently.
“Madam, I’m sorry, I’ve made you worry. I shouldn’t have been so petty as to try to create a ‘first meeting’ scene with you just because I saw you glance at some other man’s body a few times.”
She snorted, "Is this your apology? It's insincere, I don't accept it." Actually, she had already been coaxed into submission, showing no backbone whatsoever.
Lu Yan chuckled, his chest vibrating slightly, a sign of his good mood. "However you want me to apologize, I'll apologize, okay?"
Five minutes later.
Xia Yixin and Lu Yan went into another suite on the same floor. Don't ask why Lu Yan didn't stay in his own suite and insisted on "squeezing in" with her.
Because the man then feigned a pitiful state, as if saying, "You actually want to send me away?" and said, "We haven't seen each other for a week. How can you bear to leave me alone in my empty room?"
God the hell, I'm all alone in my empty room!
Xia Yixin's heart softened, and then she realized that she had been tricked by him again. His belated attempt to salvage the situation was to make him sleep on the sofa that night.
Fortunately, she still had some clothes in her storage ring that she had prepared for any eventuality.
After she finished showering, she came out of the bathroom and found that the man had not gone to the sofa in the suite.
Only a dim yellow light was on in the room. Lu Yan had changed into his pajamas and was half-lying on the bed with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
She gently kicked his shin. "Did I give you permission to lie in bed? Go sleep on the sofa."
She was about to blow-dry her hair when she felt someone leaning towards her from behind. She immediately pushed him away with a back elbow strike and asked, "What do you want?"
Lu Yan looked at the prickly little girl with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. Was he really that scary?
"Don't worry, I won't touch you tonight if you don't want to. I just want to hug you, and then I'll go to the sofa." He looked pitiful.
Seeing her fierce little face, I simply used my ultimate move.
"Madam, daughter-in-law, wife... I swear, I'll hug you."
She was torn between her inner conflict and her own feelings, but ultimately succumbed to his deep, affectionate gaze and approached him.
She was immediately pulled into his arms.
He felt that all the peace he had lost during this period had returned.
It's not about lust, but the feeling of two hearts drawing closer again after a brief separation.
He hugged her for a while, but Xia Yixin still couldn't help asking, "You and that woman..."
"It's fake. It's just a test from a male protagonist in another dimension of Country A." He paused, then apologized earnestly, "Actually, there's something else I didn't tell you before."
Lu Yan told Xia Yixin what K had said before he self-destructed, as well as his worries.
"So you didn't tell me before because you were afraid I'd be too proud and show off again?" Xia Yixin felt a surge of anger and glared at him angrily. "Lu Yan, you don't trust me!"
"I'm afraid of losing you." Lu Yan knew he couldn't leave this unsaid, so he held her hand and said what was deepest in his heart, "I'm even more afraid that you'll be disappointed in me because I haven't protected you well."
Xia Yixin was successfully led astray by Lu Yan's logical genius.
She hugged him, and finally the man soothed her, gently pinching him. "You've passed, but you're not allowed to hide things from me next time. We're husband and wife, and we have to face problems together. Besides, I'm not weak, and I want to protect you too."
"Yes, Madam is right." Lu Yan turned her around, looking obedient.
Xia Yixin's last bit of anger dissipated, and she broke free from him, saying, "Go take a shower and go to bed, it's very late."
Lu Yan didn't plan to spend the night alone, but he knew he couldn't rush it, so he stayed temporarily under the pretext of taking a bath.
Hearing the noises in the room, she wrapped herself in the blanket, pretending to be asleep. "Stop dawdling, I'm going to sleep."
Lu Yan stopped unbuttoning his shirt, looked at the "little bulge" on the bed, and couldn't help but chuckle. Instead, he walked closer to the bedside.
"Is my body better, or his body?"
"Huh?" Xia Yixin was stunned for a moment.
Lu Yan squinted at her and recalled for her, "When you were filming this afternoon."
She suddenly realized what he meant, and, both amused and exasperated, peeked her head out from under the covers. "You're such a jealous person! Everyone's watching! And what's this compared to what happened with Su Bei and Han..."
The more she talked, the darker the man's face became, so she quickly and obediently replied, "You're the best. My husband's physique is the best in any dimension."
His deep eyes seemed to instantly capture countless stars.
"Say it again."
She realized what she had said earlier, but felt awkward and embarrassed. Nevertheless, she called out under the man's intense gaze.
So, that night Lu Yan finally slept in bed and even ate meat, which was a cause for celebration.
The black jade ring hanging on her chest, like the ring on his hand, radiated warmth, as if two hearts had been reunited.
Lu Yan was at least restrained and knew how to take precautions.
Although he wouldn't mind if they had a baby, it's too early for her now.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Xia Yixin was able to get out of bed. She returned to her studio and, with Lu Yan carrying her, ate a late brunch.
Last night, some gossip magazines were indeed keeping an eye on what was happening at the hotel. A photo of Yan Yiran and Su Yan going up the elevator together was posted online, but it was quickly taken down. Director Wang also gave an official reply to everyone, saying, "Don't overthink it. Everyone booked rooms at the hotel last night."
After finishing her meal, Xia Yixin realized she had overlooked something and asked, "Oh right, I forgot to ask K how his problem was going last night?"
Yesterday, she was only focused on the fact that he was hiding things from her.
Lu Yan told her the general results of the investigation. All the people who had been controlled in the thirteen planes had been eliminated. Now, the most important people to monitor were the Zhao sisters.
Xia Yixin was temporarily relieved that Zhao Qingzhen had been replaced by the time traveler. However, regarding Zhao Jie's matter, although she did not like Shao Lin's approach, Lu Yan gave her a reason.
"Although no drugs were found in her body, her mental state is still abnormal. Perhaps it is multiple personality disorder. Shao Lin can provide her with better treatment. There is also her congenital heart disease. Moreover, it is only an engagement. As long as she does not want to, he will not force her. Besides, according to the original plot, the two of them are indeed a couple. As for Xiao Yunting, he is not suitable. Before becoming the bodyguard of the Zhao family, he did a lot of business and had many enemies. He came to the Zhao family only temporarily to escape."
Xia Yixin sighed softly. Although it was regrettable, it was the only way.
Moreover, Zhao Jie's situation is indeed somewhat delicate...
What Xia Yixin found even stranger was the sudden appearance of this fourteenth dimension, but unfortunately, all her doubts seemed to have been answered so far.
