Shen Qi looked at him inquisitively, trying to detect any different emotions on his face. She wanted to catch every nuance of his expression, not wanting to let anything slip from her sight.
But Ye Moxuan hid his thoughts and emotions so well that Shen Qi couldn’t detect any changes at all.
In the end, Shen Qi heard him say in a low voice, “Must I spell out everything clearly for you to understand what I mean?”
Shen Qi paused and looked at him with a confused expression.
Ye Moxuan’s thin lips curled into a slight smile. “Come here.”
His voice seemed to have magical powers that drew Shen Qi to walk a few steps closer to him. When she reached him, Ye Moxuan suddenly raised his hand and pulled her into his arms. He whispered in her ears while circling his arm around her waist, “I have been trying to please you—haven’t you noticed?”
Shocked by his remark, Shen Qi’s pink lips quivered.
She was overwhelmed by waves of emotion in her thoughts as if there were thousands of horses galloping inside her.
This feeling… Shen Qi couldn’t help biting her lower lip and looked blankly at Ye Moxuan.
The two of them were so close that their eyes couldn’t focus on each other’s faces, but Ye Moxuan continued to lean in gradually. He pressed the tip of his nose against her and his thin lips were about to capture hers.
Before he could kiss her, Shen Qi regained her composure and stretched out her hands to block him.
Ye Moxuan’s lips, which were supposed to fall on Shen Qi’s lips, touched her palm, but he was not upset at all. Instead, he sucked on her palm.
Suckle!
Shen Qi flushed suddenly, her eyes widening.
This bastard!
“Give me some time,” he spoke as he leaned his lips against her palm, exhaling his warm breath on it, making Shen Qi feel a hot and humid sensation on her palm. “I will give you a satisfactory answer.”
A satisfactory answer?
“Are you referring to Han Xueyou?” Shen Qi paused. “What kind of satisfactory answer can you give me?”
Ye Moxuan’s eyes darkened. “Just give me some time.”
He repeated this sentence again.
Shen Qi bit her lower lip and suddenly hooked her hands around Ye Moxuan’s neck. “Then, tell me about the earrings that you gave Xueyou.”
“Trust me.”
Shen Qi stared at him blankly.
Trust him?
Do I want to trust him?
If what the maid told her was true, he had indeed treated her differently. However, Han Xueyou’s matters had always been bugging her mind.
Thinking of this, Shen Qi bit her lips hard before saying, “I’m warning you, I have no intentions to share my lover.”
Ye Moxuan frowned upon her remark. “You think too much. I’ve never thought about marrying two women.”
Shen Qi pursed her lips stubbornly. All of a sudden, she didn’t know what else to say as he had already made his point so obvious. Could it be that she had really misunderstood the relationship between him and Han Xueyou? But she saw that incident with her own eyes.
Thinking of this, Shen Qi couldn’t help but ask again, “Now that you have already said so much, can’t you tell me clearly what the reason is?”
“No.”
With a cold expression on his face, Ye Moxuan said emotionlessly, “I haven’t finished dealing with the matter. Won’t you trust me just this once?”
Shen Qi hesitated.
Trust him this time? Should I give him a chance? But…
Shen Qi was still very hesitant. Her lips moved, but before she could speak, Ye Moxuan lowered his head to kiss her.
The touch between their lips was as soft as cotton.
At that moment, Shen Qi felt that all her thoughts were engulfed by his kisses. Every doubt, entanglement, and hesitation had disappeared at this moment.
I’ll just trust him this once since he has asked me to.
Since this is the first time I like a man so much in my life, I should trust him wholeheartedly. No matter what the results are, at least I’ll leave no regrets.
Now that Shen Qi’s doubts had been solved, she gradually responded to Ye Moxuan’s kiss, albeit timidly.
Caught in a passion, the two of them held each other tightly in their embraces. When Ye Moxuan pinned her down on the soft blanket and was about to enter her, Shen Qi arched her body, ready to accept him, but he suddenly stopped.
With that, he looked at her hungrily like a wolf, sending a chill down her spine.
Shen Qi blinked and asked dryly, “What… what’s wrong?”
Ye Moxuan did not speak. Instead, he stared silently at her with pursed lips.
Shen Qi froze, not knowing what happened. After a while, Ye Moxuan turned over and lay down next to her, breathing heavily. Shen Qi wasn’t any better—the two of them panted beside each other.
“W… what’s wrong?”
“Have you forgotten?” Ye Moxuan threw a sideways glance at her. “You are pregnant.”
Shen Qi hesitated, her face turning pale. “Are you disgusted by me?”
Why does it bug her? Is it because she cares too much? Ye Moxuan reached out to pull the blanket and tug her in, covering her charming figure that was in front of him as he muttered, “Nonsense, silly woman. Didn’t you tell me that vigorous activities will harm your baby?”
Hearing that, Shen Qi suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Ye Moxuan incredulously.
Did he stop because he is afraid of hurting me? Yet my first reaction is to assume that he is disgusted with me. Suddenly, Shen Qi felt very touched. After thinking for a while, she recklessly stretched out her hand to circle around Ye Moxuan’s neck, taking the initiative to cling onto him and hug him before whispering in his ears.
After speaking, her face flushed red like a tomato.
“What?” Ye Moxuan jolted in surprise when she embraced him on her own accord; his body jolted and he wrapped his big hand around her slender waist. “What did you just say? Say it again.”
Shen Qi lowered her head shyly. Once was enough; how could she say those things out loud for a second time?
She shook her head and hurriedly replied, “No, I didn’t say anything…”
“Heh, is that so?” For some reason, Ye Moxuan’s mood became a little more cheerful. His thin lips curled up into an evil smile as he said jokingly, “I think I heard someone telling me that it’s fine as long as I do it gently?”
Shen Qi was so embarrassed when he said it out loud that she buried her face in his chest. When her soft cheeks touched his chest, Ye Moxuan felt the softest part of his heart flutter.
“Forget it, I don’t want to hurt you. Let’s wait for sometime later.”
Quite unexpectedly, he gave up in the end. Shen Qi quietly raised her head and looked at him with wide eyes. “Are you okay with it?”
“It doesn’t matter.” Her clear, wide eyes that were like the surface of a peaceful lake were very seductive, so Ye Moxuan closed his eyes to suppress his desires.
He had finally calmed her down. If he hurt her again, it would be his trouble to bear.
It doesn’t matter? Shen Qi blinked. Although he said it was okay, his other body part didn’t seem to agree with his statement.
Shen Qi could feel it clearly because she was lying on top of him.
However, the fact that he could control his desires without touching her was a very heartwarming gesture to her.
Shen Qi smiled and lay on his chest. “Thank you.”
