Jian Yufei didn’t give it much thought, only feeling that he was too domineering. Couldn’t he just walk a few steps to get it himself?
Her hesitation wears down Ruan Tianling’s patience.
“I told you to bring it here! What are you dawdling for?”
Jian Yufei leisurely pushed open the door and walked in, her eyes lowered.
After all, they were husband and wife; she had nothing to feel awkward about.
She moved in front of him by feel and extended her hand to him, “Here you go.”
A large, wet hand reached out, not to take the underwear from her hand, but to grip her wrist instead.
The sensation of wet heat on her wrist made her heart leap, and she instinctively raised her eyes to look at him, colliding with his half-lowered eyes.
His gaze was deep, bearing a hint of unusual color.
Jian Yufei inwardly cursed her bad luck. She wanted to struggle, but he had already clasped her wrist tightly, pulling her body towards him.
Her nose abruptly collided with his firm chest.
He had just taken a bath, and he hadn’t dried his body.
Her lips brushed the water droplets on his chest, which was smooth and pinkish.
The color in Ruan Tianling’s eyes deepened, and his gaze at her lips was predatory, as if he wished to devour her whole.
Jian Yufei was forced to lean on his chest, feeling his undulating body below her palm making her extremely nervous.
“What are you doing? I’ve given you your pants already, let go of me!” In her embarrasment and frustration, she struggled, but Ruan Tianling loosened her wrist only to wrap his arm around her slender waist, drawing her even closer to him.
Jian Yufei was wearing only a thin dress, and this close contact allowed her to feel the heat of his body and the changes in his body.
Her face turned red, not knowing whether it was embarrassment or anger.
“What on earth do you want to do!” Jian Yufei gritted her teeth and questioned him, it was only then that she realized her own naivety.
He didn’t ask her to fetch anything, his real target was her…
Ruan Tianling’s other hand lifted her chin, his head lowering until their noses touched.
“We’re husband and wife, what do you think I want to do?”
That same phrase again!
She accidentally let him have his way last night, but she couldn’t let it happen again tonight.
Jian Yufei looked downwards, pleading, “I can’t tonight, I’m too tired, maybe next time.”
Ruan Tianling suddenly hoisted her into his arms and walked towards the full tub.
“Since you’re tired, let me assist you with bathing.” He spoke amiably, as if they had always been this affectionate.
Jian Yufei gave him a shocked look, immediately followed by her struggling. “No need, I can wash myself. You go out, I don’t need your assistance.” “You said you’re tired, right? Then behave, let me help you bathe.”
“I’ve already said no, I’m not disabled!” Jian Yufei couldn’t help but express her anger.
Ruan Tianling didn’t care about her anger, he strode to the bathtub and gently tossed her in, Jian Yufei hastily grasped the edge of the tub, but still ended up swallowing some water.
“Cough, cough…” Looking up in her anger, she caught sight of something she shouldn’t have seen.
Jian Yufei’s face went rigid, alternately flushing and paling, displaying a variety of emotions, “You… You’re a scoundrel!”
Instead of getting angry, Ruan Tianling burst out laughing.
Jian Yufei’s wide-eyed and shocked expression from earlier appeared amusingly cute to him.
He had never known that his wife, the one he brought back to his household, had a humorous side too.
In high spirits, he stepped into the tub, causing the water to overflow again.
Jian Yufei’s white skirt fluttered in the water, like a veil beneath the surface..
