Chapter 1387: Don’t You Have Any Shame?
"Then when I’m not around, you don’t need to sleep?" Jiang Xue said irritably, speechless at Mu Qiancheng’s fussiness.
Ever since they got married, they’ve been apart most of the time. If he really couldn’t sleep without her, how could he be the way he is now? If that were true, he’d be in a state of constant fatigue.
"That’s different. Before, you weren’t by my side. But now you’re here, how can I hold back?" Mu Qiancheng spoke as if he were being completely honest, making Jiang Xue’s face darken as she said, "A dignified major, and your self-control is only this much?"
"It depends on who it is, doesn’t it?" Mu Qiancheng joked cheerfully with Jiang Xue, which left her infuriated. She couldn’t out-talk him, nor could she beat him, leaving Jiang Xue utterly frustrated.
Mu Qiancheng seemed oblivious and said to Jiang Xue, "Xue’er, since you didn’t sleep well, let’s rest early tonight."
Saying this, he wrapped his arm around Jiang Xue’s waist, stood up from the sofa, and led her into the bedroom.
Once inside the room, Mu Qiancheng closed the door and pulled her into bed with him, lying down in a lordly fashion, which made Jiang Xue feel extremely uneasy.
"Move over a bit!" Jiang Xue nudged him, not wanting to be too close. Otherwise, he’d soon lose control and want to devour her.
Such things occurring too frequently aren’t good.
"No, I want to stick close to you." Mu Qiancheng began to whine, making Jiang Xue’s head fill with frustration as she said, "You’re not a child."
"Why don’t you treat me like one then?"
"Have some dignity, will you? Aren’t you afraid our son would laugh at you if he heard?"
"I only want you. What do I need dignity for? Besides, our son isn’t here right now, is he?"
Unable to outtalk Mu Qiancheng, Jiang Xue resigned herself despairingly and said, "Fine, suit yourself. Do whatever you want. But remember one thing: behave yourself today, or I’ll make you a eunuch."
"Wife, do you have to be so harsh? I’m your husband. If I become a eunuch, your happiness will be gone."
"Shut up!" Watching Mu Qiancheng speak more and more absurdly, Jiang Xue couldn’t help but reprimand him.
"All right, all right, I’ll shut up!" Mu Qiancheng knew when to stop and didn’t dare provoke Jiang Xue further. Otherwise, he might end up kicked off the bed.
With Mu Qiancheng silent, Jiang Xue was finally satisfied enough to close her eyes. Resting in bed, she pondered what Jin Hao might do next and how she should respond.
Next to her, Mu Qiancheng noticed Jiang Xue thinking about something but didn’t disturb her, only gently holding her and enjoying the pleasant scent from her body, looking quite content.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Xue decided to tell Mu Qiancheng about Jin Hao’s arrival in Beijing.
"Qian Cheng, I have something to tell you!"
"Wife, whatever it is, go ahead and tell me."
"I ran into Jin Hao today."
"When did this happen, and where?"
"In the afternoon, at the supermarket."
Upon hearing that Jiang Xue ran into Jin Hao at the supermarket, Mu Qiancheng immediately thought of the reason, which made his face darken as he said to Jiang Xue, "Xue’er, he doesn’t have good intentions. You need to be careful."
"Don’t worry, I know. He asked me out for coffee today, but I ignored him. I expect he won’t let it go easily and has more tricks waiting for me."
"Leave this matter to me. I promise that during your time in Beijing, you won’t see him." Mu Qiancheng spoke with determination. How dare someone have ill intentions toward Jiang Xue, did they think he, her husband, was merely decorative?
