A promise is a promise; a person should keep their word and keep their promises. At least, Jiang Xuelin is that kind of person.
But looking at Fu Hanlai's excited expression, she couldn't help but feel like she'd been tricked by him.
Look at her, she looks like a bear that has stolen honey, and this person is so excited that he imitates her, putting his hands together in front of his chest and rubbing them incessantly.
This is clearly her little habit. When did Fu Hanlai learn it?
"...Were you lying to me just now?"
Jiang Xuelin narrowed her eyes, looking at Fu Hanlai dangerously.
Prince Ashou paused in his hand-rubbing motion, his excitement freezing on his face. He looked at Jiang Xuelin suspiciously, "...I say, you're not going to back out, are you?"
Really? Jiang Xuelin isn't the type to go back on her word.
She will never regret what she promised!
"I'm not like you." Jiang Xuelin raised her chin slightly, looking extremely proud. "A promise is a promise, and I won't go back on my word. I just wanted to make sure you weren't lying to me earlier."
Not going back on your word and dealing with people afterwards are not mutually exclusive.
Knowing that Jiang Xuelin had no intention of backing out, Fu Hanlai rubbed his hands together excitedly again.
As for the rest, that's not important!
Even the burning pain on my face has subsided considerably.
Hey!
It doesn't matter if we settle accounts afterward. At worst, he'll just go to the Jing'an Marquis's residence tomorrow. He doesn't believe Jiang Xuelin will still dare to be arrogant in front of her mother.
Based on his understanding of Lady Jing'an, he would surely reprimand Jiang Xuelin and forbid her from laying a hand on him, so Fu Hanlai was not afraid of Jiang Xuelin settling scores afterward.
The Marquis of Jing'an's mansion is so big, surely it wouldn't be a problem for him to stay at his in-laws' house for a few days?
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
Watching Fu Hanlai rub his hands together again, something felt off. He was quite handsome, but with half his face swollen and him rubbing his hands, he looked unusually... sleazy.
Yes, it's a strange kind of sleazy.
However, seeing her still swollen face, Jiang Xuelin hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't say anything more.
Hey, she was really reckless in this matter. She shouldn't have made such a joke. She didn't expect Fu Hanlai to react so strongly.
It's a bit scary, but is it really that scary?
Jiang Xuelin naturally didn't understand, and Fu Hanlai had no intention of explaining it to her. Since they had already reached a consensus on certain matters, and it was getting late, it was not advisable to delay any longer.
The two looked at each other, then looked away, their eyes no longer meeting, and climbed back into bed one after the other.
Fu Hanlai tried to cheer himself up. Even though it wasn't the first time, he was still very nervous because this was completely different.
Swallowing hard, Fu Hanlai looked at Jiang Xuelin, just in case, and decided to make things clear first, "Don't move today, I'll take care of everything, I'll take care of everything, that's what we agreed on, right?"
Jiang Xuelin tilted her head and thought about what her mother had said back then. Her gaze then moved over Fu Hanlai's swollen cheek, and she nodded solemnly to indicate that she understood. "Okay, I won't touch it, don't worry."
This wasn't the first time, and she wouldn't kick someone down when she was in pain, as her mother had worried. As long as she followed her mother's instructions and lay still, that would be fine.
Um.
Maybe I can take a nap.
If Fu Hanlai knew what Jiang Xuelin was thinking at this moment, he would definitely find it very offensive.
How can someone fall asleep at a time like this?!
Fortunately, Jiang Xuelin did not voice her wild ideas.
A glass lamp sat by the bedside, its light filtering through the bed curtains, creating a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere. Fu Hanlai felt as if Jiang Xuelin's face was enveloped in a soft halo.
Since Fu Hanlai had already been mentioned, Jiang Xuelin naturally didn't move and watched Fu Hanlai take action.
one time.
Two times.
Three times.
...
Fu Hanlai tried to unbutton Jiang Xuelin's inner garment, but he couldn't get it right no matter what he did. His fingers would always accidentally touch Jiang Xuelin's neck, and he eventually broke out in a cold sweat.
That shouldn't be the case. It's just a Chinese knot, how could it not be untied?
Jiang Xuelin, her long hair disheveled, glanced at Fu Hanlai and finally couldn't help but ask, "...Or, should I untie it myself?"
Seeing you sweating so much, anyone who didn't know better would wonder what you were doing.
How could you be so stupid?
Fu Hanlai paused, looked up to meet Jiang Xuelin's gaze, and then gritted his teeth, "No need, I'll do it, I'll do it. This is a small matter, you don't need to do it. Besides, didn't we agree that I would do it today?"
"I'll do it, I'll do it."
"I'm just worried that if things keep going like this, the roosters will be crowing soon!"
Fu Hanlai: "..."
He felt a lump in his throat; he didn't know what was going on, but why was this button so difficult to undo?
"...No, I'll do it, very soon."
Doesn't he have any pride? He can't even unbutton a woman's clothes, what kind of person is he?
Gritting his teeth, Fu Hanlai was also worried that there wouldn't be enough time if he delayed any longer, so he leaned forward and got closer to see more clearly.
Because of his sudden approach, Jiang Xuelin had to raise her head. His warm breath hit the skin on her neck, making her skin crawl. It was only because she remembered what she had promised that she didn't push him away.
I feel strangely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, this time it didn't drag on, and Fu Hanlai easily unbuttoned the inner garment.
The buttons were undone, the inner garment fell open, revealing the bodice underneath.
Fu Hanlai: "..."
ah.
nervous.
I'm so nervous.
Seeing Jiang Xuelin looking over in confusion, Fu Hanlai rubbed his hands together and reached out to pull at Jiang Xuelin's inner garment, muttering as he pulled, "I'll do it, I'll do it, Jiang Xuelin, don't move, if you move I won't be able to do it, I'll do it, I'll do it."
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
Nonsense! I didn't move at all!
Fu Ashou, don't frame people!
After glancing at Fu Hanlai's swollen face again, Jiang Xuelin swallowed back the rebuttal that was on the tip of her tongue.
Hmm... We agreed on this today, so she has to wait and can't move, otherwise this guy will definitely find an excuse to cause trouble.
I regret my rashness once again.
In fact, Jiang Xuelin didn't really care whether or not she should be in a better position than Fu Hanlai in this regard. If Fu Hanlai hadn't suddenly become the most obnoxious last time, she wouldn't have been able to turn the tables and stop him from doing anything.
Fu Hanlai was worried that she might change her mind now, but there was really no need for that.
She's not that bored.
"...Fu Ashou, shouldn't you hurry up? It's getting late."
"Okay, okay, don't rush me, I'll do it, watch me, I've done all the research!"
