36: Chapter 36 – Enrolment 4_1 36: Chapter 36 – Enrolment 4_1 After a moment, He Teng simply grunted a ‘hmm’ response, failing to give He Zhilan any of the acknowledgement she yearned for.
He Zhilan was scared of He Teng ever since they were kids.
She had mustered all her courage to say those words, but with He Teng making no further comment, she dared not say another word.
Sighing silently, He Zhilan felt somewhat defeated, and even more puzzled as to whether He Teng was still angry or not.
“Go to sleep.” After a while, He Teng initiated a conversation and muttered two words.
Then he rolled over, turning his back to He Zhilan, leaving her staring at the back of his head.
He Zhilan was a bit angry, yet she also found the situation somewhat comical.
If He Teng wasn’t right in front of her, she wouldn’t believe that such a sulky person could exist in this world!
Amusing as it was, she still felt miffed!
He Zhilan conceded her past faults, but now she had apologized profusely over and over.
Then why was He Teng still so frosty?
Yet, her irritation lasted only a few moments, as, considering her previous attitude, she decided it was a case of you reap what you sow.
“Brother~,” He Zhilan cautiously tugged at He Teng’s collar, “Are you still mad at me?”
He Teng didn’t immediately respond, but after about three seconds he said he wasn’t.
He believed, as a grown man, there was no reason to hold a grudge against a girl for so long, especially not this long.
He had clearly noticed He Zhilan’s changes.
Hence, despite his previous frustrations, they all dissipated.
All He Teng truly desired was that everyone in their family be well.
He Zhilan knew when He Teng said he wasn’t mad, he truly wasn’t!
At that moment, all her concerns vanished.
This moment of relief was something He Zhilan hadn’t experienced since her reincarnation.
Impulsively and out of nowhere, He Zhilan pressed up against He Teng’s back, wrapped her arms around his muscular waist from behind, rested her face on his back and whispered, “Brother, I’ll prove to you that, I really want to be with you!”
He Teng was genuinely surprised by He Zhilan’s sudden boldness.
The windows of the hotel room were open, yet the room was still very warm.
She pressed against him from behind.
Her long hair cascaded onto his neck, tickling him.
Every time a gentle breeze blew in, he could smell the scent of her shampoo.
These details weren’t the actual concerning part!
The real concern was He Teng realizing he was having a natural reaction as a man!
Behind him was his newly-wed wife.
Despite her bad temper, he couldn’t deny her beauty.
Remembering their wedding night, the touch of her smooth, soft skin felt like touching lotus roots, making He Teng feel parched.
He was a normal man, reacting this way seeing his newly-wed wife was natural.
But recalling how He Zhilan had sobbed profusely on their wedding night, He Teng suppressed his desires and angrily rebuked, “He Zhilan, take your hands off!”
The anger was not because he was upset with He Zhilan’s audacious physical contact.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t been cooperative on their wedding night, causing him to act out of anger.
Instead, he was using this anger to veil the thoughts brewing in his heart.
“I won’t!” He Zhilan didn’t know where she had summoned the audacity to challenge He Teng.
Had the old He Teng yelled at her this way, she would have gone quiet and retreated.
