Chapter 69 Humph, men

Xiao Jiuyan grabbed some tissues from the bedside table and began to wipe her hands.

Guan Xi's face turned red. "Master Jiu, you don't have to do this. I can manage."

This was just adding to her embarrassment.

She started to pull her hand back but his voice stopped her.

"Don't move," he said with a frown.

"Okay."

She acquiesced like a good little mouse.

Xiao Jiuyan took care in wiping her hands.

He found that he loved her beautiful dainty little fingers.

He continued to hold her hands until they were clean.

...

Guan Xi was quietly lying on the bed.

As usual, she slept right at the edge of the king-sized bed.

She pulled the blanket tight around her, covering her face.

Her thoughts were preoccupied with what she had just done.

She couldn't stand it if it happens again.

"Gu Wenxi," Xiao Jiuyan called.

"Here!" Guan Xi answered reflexively.

She pulled the blanket down a little, revealing her eyes. She looked at her husband who was a safe half a meter away from her.

"What's the matter Master Jiu?" she asked softly.

What did he want from her?

Her gut was telling her that she was in danger. Again.

There were no lights on in the bedroom except for the dim bedside lamp.

The darkness made Guan Xi's beautiful eyes seemed particularly bright.

For a second he paused before saying, "Come here."

'Did he just say 'come here'?'

'F*ck my life!'

'What does he mean by that?!'

'So many days have already passed! Why now?'

Xiao Jiuyan could not tolerate this distance between the two of them anymore.

She replied weakly, "But Master Ji, we agreed just now..."

He remained motionless.

"I am not breaking my promise! A real man keeps his words," he said with an affronted tone.

"We're just going to sleep. What did you think I want to do?" he asked with a frown.

'Oh.'

For the second time today, Guan Xi felt a strange sense of disgust from her husband's calm tone.

She wanted to throw the table.

She wanted to cuss him out.

Here she was feeling good because she thought she was done for the night!

'Men are pigs!'

They were indeed heartless scumbags.

She cursed silently in her heart.

Cowardly, she moved to Xiao Jiuyan's side.

Since she was afraid that he would do something unspeakable to her at night, Guan Xi had been sleeping with her quilt tightly wrapped around her. Tonight was no exception.

She looked like a wriggling baby silkworm at the moment.

When she was finally within touching distance of him, he stretched out and pulled her in his arms.

Caught off guard, Guan Xi went without any resistance.

Her little head fell against his broad chest.

In the quiet room, she could hear his powerful heartbeat.

"Master... Master Jiu..." she called out weakly, her face becoming hot.
