Chapter 881: 881 third brother doesn’t touch her2
He felt disgusted listening and had no interest in eavesdropping on his second brother in a compromising situation. He turned away and went to the kitchen to get a bucket of cold water, heading towards the bathroom.
Su Qingyue saw Xiao Yuchuan returning so quickly with a serious expression and asked indifferently, “What’s wrong, did second brother scold you?”
“No. Second brother and Li Rong’er are in the room… attending to business,” he said awkwardly. “I didn’t even get a chance to speak.”
Upon hearing this, her eyes lit up and she immediately headed towards the front courtyard.
He grabbed her, “Wife, the bathwater is ready, where are you planning to go?”
“I’m going to listen in…”
Xiao Yuchuan’s forehead furrowed with frustration. “Wife, there’s nothing worth listening to. If you want to hear, on another day, we…” He leaned in ambiguously, “I’ll let you cry out and listen to your heart’s content.”
She glared at him annoyed, “Who listens to their own cries?”
“Then cry out for me to listen,” he insisted, his gaze burning as if he wanted to devour her.
“Get lost, I’m going to listen!” She tried to leave, but he swiftly embraced her, lowered his head, and sealed her lips with an intimate and fiery kiss.
Su Qingyue was left dizzy by his kiss.
Xiao Yuchuan too lost himself in her kiss, stripping her clothes off one by one. A cool breeze blew by, and he snapped back to reality, his eyes glowing red as he looked at her slender and graceful body, with a waist so slim it barely filled his grasp, and her long legs; her skin so fair and soft it seemed almost possible to squeeze water from it.
He couldn’t take his eyes off her, forcibly restraining himself from touching her, as a nosebleed erupted from his nostrils.
Su Qingyue just watched as he restrained himself.
Somehow, he managed to hold back and ran out.
She thought to herself that the third brother seemed to have really changed his ways.
Xiao Yuchuan closed the bathroom’s wooden door, stood outside, tilting his head back to reduce the bleeding from his nose, and said hoarsely, “Wife, use the bathtub to wash yourself. I won’t come in to pour the water for you, to avoid losing my humanity.”
Su Qingyue couldn’t understand why third brother was restraining himself from touching her. It made her suspect that he was impotent.
She secretly took his pulse, and he was perfectly normal and very healthy. She had no idea what he was thinking.
She poured the three buckets of water he brought into the bathtub, tested the temperature—it was just right—and eased into the tub.
It was already autumn, and the weather tonight was a bit cool, making soaking in the tub an utterly refreshing experience.
It was only after she finished bathing that she realized…
Damn it, she had forgotten to bring clean clothes to change into.
Her delicate eyebrows knitted together as she glanced at the dirty clothes she had taken off, debating whether to shout for third brother to help her get clothes or to just wear the dirty clothes and go out.
After a fresh bath, she didn’t want to put on dirty clothes, so she chose the former and called out loudly, “Third brother!”
Her voice was so loud it sent a bird on the roof flying away in fright.
Outside the door, Xiao Yuchuan cleared his ears, “Wife, what’s the matter, yelling so loudly?”
Only then, with her voice muffled by the door, did Su Qingyue realize that Xiao Yuchuan was actually standing outside, “You’re like a ghost, not making a sound?”
It was all because she had indulged too much in the delightful bath that she hadn’t noticed third brother was outside the whole time.
Sigh, life in this household was too peaceful; she didn’t have to live as tensely as in her last life, with her life hanging by a belt. She was becoming too complacent.
No, that wasn’t right. With her sharp sense of hearing, she should have noticed him outside.
She opened the bathroom door just enough to poke her head out, “Third brother, could you please help me get…”
And then she saw the clean clothes he was holding in his hands.
He had indeed been waiting outside with her clothes ready for her.
