They say impulse is the devil, and she had truly been blinded by love just now, almost giving herself away. That’s not how you seduce someone.
Without having conquered her nominal husband, getting him to confess his love for her first, such actions were inappropriate, even with the use of hands.
She had already made a mistake once and couldn’t continue making mistakes; it would make Yang Ming think she was too casual.
His heart grew more desolate, and somewhat spitefully, he said, "You are my wife."
"..." Didn’t she know she was his wife? She had almost succumbed just now because she liked him, but Yang Ming didn’t like her yet, how could he treat her as a tool for that purpose?
She stared into Yang Ming’s eyes and asked solemnly, "Do you know the significance of doing this kind of thing?"
"This kind of thing should be done by two people who like each other."
Yang Ming’s eyes lost their gleam. Yes, he really liked his wife, which was why he had acted that way, but he had just expressed his affection and was rejected. Clearly, his wife did not like him; she definitely would not engage in such an act with him.
He didn’t speak but got up quickly to dress and walked outside.
Seeing Yang Ming , Xiaoxiao felt certain he did not like her. She had made things so clear, yet Yang Ming hadn’t expressed his liking for her. The revolution was not yet successful; comrades still had to strive. "Where are you going?"
"I’m going to the outhouse."
"..." Was he going to resolve it by himself in the outhouse? What if someone at home found out? That would be terrible. "You better handle it here in the room."
"..." What was his wife talking about? Asking him to resolve it in front of her? Didn’t he already feel embarrassed enough?
He didn’t stop walking, feeling that he needed to quickly escape this place, "Mind your own business."
He stood in the yard, feeling the cold wind, needing to calm down.
"Little brother, what are you doing out here? You scared me."
"..." Why did he run into his second brother again? How unlucky! "It’s nothing, I’m going inside now."
Xiaoxiao heard the noise outside and felt uneasy. Was his self-solution discovered? She had told him not to go out. He just wouldn’t listen.
Disturbed by his second brother, Yang Ming had no choice but to go back into the room. He didn’t know what to do. Should he pretend nothing happened and just lie down to sleep?
He was still hesitating when he heard his wife’s words.
"Um, maybe you shouldn’t hold me while sleeping anymore. Let’s sleep separately like we used to," she said.
"Okay." He replied in an extremely dejected tone, then he moved the blanket to the end of the bed and lay down himself.
Xiaoxiao thought holding each other in sleep might lead to mistakes, so it was perhaps for the best. She fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, just as it was getting slightly light, Xiaoxiao woke up. She was thinking that her bargain husband surely had to leave early again.
She opened her eyes and screamed, "Ah!"
The yelling woke Yang Ming immediately, and he asked, "Wife, what’s wrong?"
"You, you, you, why are you still in my bed?"
"..." Oh no, he had been caught. How had he overslept?
