40: Chapter 40: Showing Off Love 40: Chapter 40: Showing Off Love Chu Yihan is a real straight-talking man.
He didn’t even notice the little woman who had to struggle to keep up with his pace.
Su Ge remembered that the Lotus Pond was quite far; continuing was not an option.
Watching the man’s long legs moving farther and farther with every step, she grit her teeth, sped up, and grabbed his hand.
Chu Yihan stopped in his tracks.
He turned his head sideways, his dark eyes fixed on Su Ge.
Su Ge showed him a sweet smile, “It seems that everyone in Chu Garden thinks that we are not close.
Should we, perhaps, show a little affection?”
Showing affection was just a pretext, saving her own life was the reality.
If she had to keep up with him for another 800 meters, she would definitely collapse from exhaustion.
So she must hold his hand and walk slowly.
Chu Yihan looked around, the courtyard spacious like a plaza, only a few servants cleaning, all seriously wiping the sculptures in the yard, not paying attention to them.
Chu Yihan’s dark eyes deepened slightly, and he held Su Ge’s small hand in his.
Goal achieved, Su Ge secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The next second, her body uncontrollably flung towards Chu Yihan.
With just a little force from Chu Yihan holding her hand, Su Ge fell directly into his arms.
She looked up at him in astonishment.
His exquisite handsome face leaned down, sealing her lips with a kiss.
After a passionate kiss ended, Su Ge’s mind went completely blank.
What had she and Chu Yihan just done in front of everyone?
The servants who were cleaning had now all looked over, excitedly whispering something.
Su Ge could only vaguely hear Chu Yihan dropping a phrase, “This is showing affection,” before he pulled her away.
Not knowing how they ended up at the Lotus Pond, Su Ge could only feel his taste in her mouth, that unique hormonal scent so intense and warm that she couldn’t help wondering if a kiss could make her pregnant.
A gentle breeze swept across the lake, carrying the delicate fragrance of lotus filling the entire Chu Garden.
Su Ge shivered slightly, finally fully awakened.
Seeing the endless vibrant red Lotus Pond before her, her pupils dilated in shock.
Indeed, the lotuses in Chu Garden were the best.
These large red lotuses almost made one suspect they had been fed hormones.
It was said that Grandpa Chu had a special fondness for lotuses when he was young, his love enduring for so many years, indeed the flowers he cultivated were extraordinary.
Yet, this huge Lotus Pond had only one color.
Grandpa Chu must be a man of deep loyalty, right?
While Su Ge was lost in thought, the hand holding hers tightened, pulling her to keep moving forward.
Looking ahead, Su Ge realized there was a pavilion in the middle of the Lotus Pond. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel_fіre.net
That position was simply the best spot to enjoy the flowers.
Chu Yihan really was taking her to that pavilion, walking into the pavilion, the rich scent of lotuses came from all directions, Su Ge excitedly let go of Chu Yihan’s hand, leaning on the pavilion’s railing to closely admire the swathes of lotuses.
It was midsummer, the best season for lotus blossoms.
Su Ge could touch countless red lotuses just by reaching out her hand.
But she hesitated to touch them, so enthralled by the scenery that she couldn’t bear to disturb it.
Seeing her hesitant movements, Chu Yihan simply walked over, bent down gently, and plucked a large red lotus from in front of Su Ge, handing it to her.
Su Ge watched in daze as her favorite lotus was mercilessly plucked, her face filled with astonishment as she looked at Chu Yihan.
