Chapter 1068: Chapter 1068 - 1066: Want You to Take the Initiative

This scream snapped Chu Yihan back to reality, and he took a few steps forward holding a nightgown. “I’ve come to bring you clothes, put them on.”

He lifted the curtain, only extending one hand inside.

Gazing through the slit in the curtain, Su Yingxue saw that Chu Yihan had turned his face away, not intending to look at her at all.

Even though right now, she was completely naked.

Instantly, Su Yingxue pouted, “Am I really that unattractive?”

Chu Yihan used to like her very much before.

Now, he wouldn’t even glance at her.

“What did you say?”

Chu Yihan heard her muttering, but he didn’t catch what she said.

Su Yingxue, annoyed, found some courage as they were alone in the bath, “I said, am I really that unattractive now? Before even becoming the empress, the emperor doesn’t even look at me? Are you planning to look at other women?”

Fire ignited in Chu Yihan’s eyes in an instant, he reached out and pulled the curtain aside, stepping directly into the bath, standing on the edge towering over Su Yingxue.

His eyes blazed as if with fire, igniting Su Yingxue’s skin inch by inch, and she covered her chest, her face flushed thoroughly, “What… what are you coming in for?”

“Isn’t it you who asked me to come look at you?”

Chu Yihan squatted down in front of her, scrutinizing her carefully, “I don’t want to look at other women.”

But he really wanted to look at her.

Right after her bath, she was fragrant, her skin fair as jade and glowing with a faint pink hue, from her earlobes to her little toes, all wrapped in a light pink glow.

Su Yingxue was caught off guard, talk as she might, think as she might, but… should you not have given her a mental preparation before suddenly coming in?

“Su Yingxue, you’re so frightened of me coming in, and you won’t let me go sleep in the imperial study, what exactly do you want?”

Seeing her somewhat pitiful appearance, Chu Yihan really didn’t understand.

Su Yingxue pouted, “I just… just wanted you to take the initiative for once!”

Normally pursued actively by Chu Yihan, she hadn’t clung to him much; now that he said he was cooling off, he did cool off, and she didn’t know how to lure him back.

What if one day he really wanted to open the harem, wouldn’t she die of anger?

The corners of Chu Yihan’s mouth lifted slightly, that was probably the nicest thing he had heard her say in a long while.

“Fine, I’ll take more initiative.”

He smiled, draped the nightgown over her, and his arms slipped under her knees, lifting her up.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing him about to leave, Su Yingxue hastily spoke up, “Aren’t you going to bathe?”

“If I bathe, who’s going to hold you? You’re not even wearing shoes.”

He wouldn’t allow those little feet on the cold floor.

“Then… shall I join you for a bit longer?”

Su Yingxue looked at the tub full of hot water; after all, she didn’t mind playing with the water a bit more.

Chu Yihan changed direction, carrying her back, carefully placing her on the edge of the tub and testing the temperature before letting her feet down. He said indifferently, “Saint Ruan said, soaking a bit longer in hot water is good for both you and the child.”

Su Yingxue stuck out her tongue, “I’m a physician too, of course I know that!”

She also took a hot bath every day, definitely not needing that guy Saint Ruan to remind her.

Watching Chu Yihan dressing down, she thought that without attendants, she, as the empress, should also lend a hand, right?

But she was too late with her thoughts; Chu Yihan had already shed his clothes in a few moves and tossed them aside. By the time her gaze followed, he was left in only his trousers.
