Chapter 16 Thoughts
Yu Qinghuan secretly exerted force on the hand that was captured under the table, trying to pull it back. While struggling, his hand accidentally fell on another place.
Until she felt the burning temperature in her palm, Yu Qinghuan's face also became hot. At this moment, she just wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it. When she went out with Xie Zhiwen in the past, Xie Zhiwen had never been so outrageous.
Why did she think Xie Zhili was a gentleman in the past? His outrageous behavior under the table now completely slapped her in the face.
Xie Zhili's breathing stagnated and he suddenly tightened his grip. His originally clear eyes suddenly became dim. He had just wanted to tease Yu Qinghuan, but now, he was the one who was in trouble.
Yu Qinghuan wanted to punch Xie Zhili in her heart, but she didn't dare to move.
At this moment, Liu Yan couldn't help but urge: "Brother Xie, quickly give the fruit drink to my sister-in-law to taste."
Why are you standing there motionless? This is his intention.
Yu Qinghuan turned her head to glance at Xie Zhili, and her eyes indicated that if he didn't let go, he would be discovered.
Xie Zhili stopped struggling and finally let go.
Yu Qinghuan felt relieved, quickly withdrew his hand, and quietly moved his butt, trying to stay away from Xie Zhili to prevent him from having any bad intentions again.
Xie Zhili caught all her little movements out of the corner of his eye, curled his lips and smiled slightly, raised his hand and pushed the glass of fruit drink in front of Yu Qinghuan. The purple-red juice shook and wet his bony fingers.
Yu Qinghuan was righteous and didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Xie Zhili asked in a voice that everyone present could hear clearly, "Brother Liu, wouldn't you like to try it?"
Not only Liu Yan, but even Su Heng looked over, and both eyes fell on her, as if offending Xie Zhili would be an insult to both of them.
Yu Qinghuan had no choice but to pick up the fruit drink on the table and take a sip. It was warm, sour and sweet, and very delicious.
She nodded at Liu Yan, smiled slightly and thanked him, "It really whets my appetite. Thank you, Master Liu."
Seeing her pick up her chopsticks, Liu Yan's ears turned red and he felt a little embarrassed. In his heart, he was thinking, if he married Xie Zhili's widowed sister-in-law home, would his parents break his legs?
Xie Zhili was still savoring what had just happened, curling his lips and lightly tapping the edge of the tablecloth with his fingertips dipped in fruit drink. A drop of purple-red juice silently dripped onto Yu Qinghuan's snow-white skirt, spreading into a cinnabar mole-like mark.
This touch of red on the snow-white dress looks very much like the handkerchief on the wedding night.
Yu Qinghuan became even angrier when he saw this and stomped on him hard!
Xie Zhili groaned, gritting his teeth. He was actually a little wild cat that only knew how to bite...
A faint smile appeared on his lips, and his interest in Yu Qinghuan grew stronger.
Su Heng's gaze stayed on Xie Zhili for a long time, and then briefly passed by Yu Qinghuan. He had been good friends with Xie Zhili since childhood, so how could he not see the glances between the two.
Only Liu Yan, with his carefree personality, would be so attentive to others without knowing the consequences.
...
On the way back to the manor that night, Yu Qinghuan refused to pay any attention to Xie Zhili. No matter how bumpy the carriage was, she held on to the window tightly with her hands and did not move her butt at all.
The carriage entered the farm, and Xie Zhili, who got off first, stretched out his hand towards Yu Qinghuan, wanting to help her get down.
Yu Qinghuan was still brooding over what happened at Xifeng Tower, so she didn't even bother to glance at him. She jumped off the carriage, but her steps were unsteady, which made Xie Zhili's eyelids twitch. He reached out his long arm and held her in his arms.
Yu Qinghuan snorted lightly, pushed Xie Zhili away, and strode towards the yard. Xie Zhili followed closely behind her, caught up with her when she entered the house, and closed the door, blocking Sang Ru and Qingzhui who were following behind her outside.
Inside the room, Xie Zhili followed Yu Qinghuan. Seeing that she was still ignoring him, he felt inexplicably irritated. "Are you still sulking about what happened just now?"
Mentioning what happened just now, Yu Qinghuan couldn't help but recall the tension and excitement of being discovered.
"How dare I, a widow who lost her husband, get angry? You can do whatever you want."
Xie Zhili could hear a hint of anger in her tone, and his heart moved slightly. He quietly stuck behind her and said, "Brother Liu and Brother Su are family. Even if they find out, it won't matter."
Yu Qinghuan: "As a widow who lost her husband, who can I be considered a family member?"
Xie Zhili paused, raised his arm to hold her waist, and rested his chin on Yu Qinghuan's neck. He sniffed lightly with the tip of his nose, and his brows relaxed. "It's my fault. I can't control myself..."
The breath from his words sprayed on Yu Qinghuan's neck, which felt like being gently tickled by hair, causing waves of itchiness.
Yu Qinghuan's ears burned, but she suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, "Okay, I won't be angry anymore, but things like tonight won't happen again."
Xie Zhili raised his thin lips slightly, "Okay."
The room fell into a brief silence. It was so quiet that only the breathing of the two people could be heard. The flickering candlelight seemed to be hinting at something. The two restless hearts could not calm down at all. It was not until Yu Qinghuan felt something strange behind her that her face turned red.
"It's getting late, I need to rest."
Xie Zhili's voice was dull, and he rubbed his face against her neck twice, "I want to stay in your room tonight."
Yu Qinghuan felt the warmth behind her ears, and her face flushed. "No, we're both doing this for the sake of having an heir, how can we be selfish?"
She never imagined that Xie Zhili, who seemed pure and innocent before, would be so difficult to deal with.
Xie Zhili released her hand, supported her shoulders, and turned her to face him. His deep eyes were filled with desire. "I know you are not feeling well. I will only stay with you tonight. I won't do anything else."
Yu Qinghuan didn't dare to look him in the eye, "But..."
Xie Zhili pulled her hand against his body, his heartbeat so strong it seemed as if it was about to burst out. He forced her to look him in the eye and gently coaxed her, "Having an heir is no small matter. Don't you want to test it first?"
Yu Qinghuan: “…”
