Chapter 186 - Rainy Day
Chapter 186: Rainy Day
The sky was hazy, and the rain pattered against the banana leaves. The summer downpours always came so suddenly.
When Jiang Huai woke up, the sound of rain was loud in his ears. Bai Li was still sleeping soundly in the bed. He carefully lowered her leg and arm, which were draped over him, and sat up.
He hadn’t drunk too much last night, had been very sober, and remembered clearly what he had said and done with Bai Li.
He looked down at the girl in his arms. She opened her eyes for a moment due to Jiang Huai’s movement but then slowly closed them again, content to go back to sleep.
Jiang Huai got up to make breakfast.
He opened the door to the room and had just stepped out when he suddenly noticed Chu Xianning sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard.
Through the veil of rain, their gazes met from afar.
The one who wanted to avoid eye contact was Jiang Huai. Looking at Chu Xianning’s eyes, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of guilt. Chu Xianning had seen him coming out of Bai Li’s room, so she must have guessed something. Moreover, Bai Li had been staying in the courtyard these days, and the two of them had been quite intimate. It’s hard to keep a secret forever, and Chu Xianning was bound to find out eventually.
Would Chu Xianning mind?
If he explained, would Chu Xianning listen?
No, there was nothing to explain in the first place.
