Chapter 183: Swimming Pool Mystery
The dining houses in the amusement park were all designed in quirky shapes: the Egypt Zone had a mini pyramid, the Elf Zone was shaped like a giant treehouse, and the Gold Rush Town featured early 20th-century English-style cottages. Inside one of these English-style vintage cottages, Xu Qing and Jiang He sat across from each other.
"Can't count them? Then don't count them." Xu Qing pulled her hand closer and started reading her palm.
Helping a dangerous person like this reintegrate into society—if he couldn’t reform her into a proper wife, he would be the greatest sinner in Jiang City. He must marry her to keep her in check. Worst case scenario, he'd settle for being beneath her...
It didn’t sound all that bad.
As Xu Qing studied Jiang He's small hand, he suddenly realized something terrifying: in the future, his family position might be at risk.
“Don’t you think they’ve improved a lot?” Jiang He asked, looking at her other hand. She reflected on how her life had changed; every day, she stayed home using the mouse and keyboard, worlds apart from her past life. She even used fragrant hand creams regularly.
From the back of her hands, her fingers appeared slender and fair, soft and delicate. But flipping them over, the pads of her fingers were still slightly rough, and calluses on the second knuckles and the bases of her fingers hadn't completely disappeared. It would take soaking in warm water for a few more months to smooth them out.
Xu Qing leaned down and kissed her fingertip. The soft, moist sensation made Jiang He instinctively wiggle her fingers. When Xu Qing straightened up, she turned her head away.
