Chapter 406: A Little Understanding Between Them
Limping and cursing himself Chenglei, hopped to the study table and sat in the chair.
"Oof! That woman! Thinking about her makes me this foolish! What should I do?", he mumbled as he rubbed his hurt toes with the palm of his hand.
Then he remembered her sorrow filled face when he flinched when she tried to hold her hands.
"It was not because I was disgusted, okay?" He wanted to tell her. Her fan - like eyelashes fluttered to hold back her tears. He wanted to hug her then and there.
’JiaXing, It was because I felt a shock passing through my entire body the moment those soft hands touched mine. It felt like it had been an eternity since the last time I touched you’. That’s the reason. But I’m not going to tell her!
Silly woman! How dare you have me wrapped around your little finger like that? Even though I want to hate you, I cannot.
And with everyone kneeling in front of you... I felt like you might not want me by your side. Won’t you want that exalted man, whom I might never beat, who taught you everything and who is your everything, by your side?
But all those men... Looking at you... I wanted to bash their heads with big boulder. Just as I let go of your hand, they think they might have a chance!
Stupid men... How could they look at my wife like that?
Hmpf! Who is my wife?
Silly woman! I hate you! I won’t marry you...
He sat there staring at the inkstone on the table. The lamp by the side flickered as the shadow shifted along. And that reminded him of the carriage ride back. The red lantern lights from the outside made beautiful contours of her face as they passed through shifting her shadow.
