Chapter 529: Little devil (3)
Xiaoshi did not return to the master bedroom even after a couple of hours. Han Xichen went to check on dinner and found that she had already cooked. Warming the food up, he severed some of it to a plate and was about to take it up for her when she entered the kitchen. He placed the plate on the kitchen counter with a sigh of relief. "Baby,"
Under his nervous gaze, she walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him. He let out the sigh he had been holding as he pulled her to his chest. He had been holding her every night so it was barely noticeable before but now that he held her waist, he realized that she had lost weight.
He so badly wanted to slap himself. How could he make her so worried? She must have been under so much stress.
He was about to speak when she spoke first, pulling out of his arms. "I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to explode on you like that."
He held her hand and brought it to his mouth to kiss it. "I’m glad you did. You let it off your chest."
When he left the door where he had been knocking incessantly, fear had drowned her. She had been afraid that she went too far, that he would decide to give up on them. Seeing him in the kitchen was such a relief, and she was even more relieved when he held her.
"I’m sorry, my love."
He leaned in to kiss her but she turned away, slapping him instead. He was not shocked. He took her hand, hitting it against his face. "I definitely deserve that and much more."
She frowned at him. Did he really think he could charm his way out of it?
