Chapter 36 - Don’t Move

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Since she hit me so many times, I didn’t dare talk to her too much back home. I was afraid that she would hit me if I ever said something to make her unhappy. Everything I said was all in the name of normal conversation, but she’s so narrow-minded and keeps misinterpreting my words! And then she would hit me because of her interpretation!”

“That b*tch!” Xiaoze said angrily. “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have been so polite when I saw her! Where did she hit you?”

“My face.” Yuexi pointed at her left cheek. “She hit me not long ago.”

“Is it better now?” Xiaoze caressed her cheek, his heart aching. When his fingertips and palm touched her smooth skin, he couldn’t help but be distracted.

Mufeng lowered his head and curled his lips. He didn’t expect Jiang Xun to have hit someone.

“Did you really hit her?” he asked in a low voice.

As if he was afraid that Xiaoze and Yuexi would hear him, his voice was so low that it almost sounded like air.

The breath that blew on Jiang Xun’s face became even hotter and heavier.

Jiang Xun’s face felt as if it was burning. She didn’t know how red she must be right now.

“She deserved it,” she said quietly. Her voice sounded delicate and soft. It was almost foreign to her own ears.

It was as if she had found someone very close to her and was acting coquettishly to him.

Mufeng saw the stubborn look in her eyes. No matter who she was talking to, she wouldn’t bend even a little.

He couldn’t help but think that there was no way Jiang Chengye wouldn’t have punished Jiang Xun for hitting Yuexi, especially knowing how much Chengye loved pampering Yuexi.

At that time, had she also been headstrong and stubborn? Had she persisted in saying that Yuexi deserved it?

Mufeng, who had never been soft-hearted to outsiders, felt his heart soften for no reason and said in a low voice, “Yes, she deserved it.”

Jiang Xun was stunned.

Ever since she came to this world, Mufeng was the first person to completely stand on her side without any reason.

At this moment, Yuexi’s flirty voice rang out again. “It’s better now.”

When Mufeng heard it, he felt that her voice was really pretentious. Jiang Xun’s voice was much better.

“Yuexi.” Xiaoze’s voice was so mushy that it made Jiang Xun break out in goosebumps. “Since you’re an adult now, can we...be together openly?”

Xiaoze paused slightly and said affectionately, “I’ve been waiting for you all this time.”

Yuexi hummed in response, then said shyly, “Ze, we...we can be together. I’ve also been waiting for this day for so long. From today onwards, can I...be your girlfriend?”

“Of course.” Xiaoze’s hand was still on Yuexi’s face. “From today onwards, we can officially be together.”

“Soon, we will be engaged,” he said, wrapping his other hand around Yuexi’s waist. He slowly lowered his head and drew closer.

Their breaths were getting hotter and hotter. Yuexi was so nervous that she was trembling slightly.

Their breaths intertwined. Before Xiaoze’s lips touched her, Yuexi could not help but let out a soft whine.

The blush on her face became thicker.

Xiaoze couldn’t control himself anymore and kissed her lips eagerly.

The balcony was very quiet. Mufeng and Jiang Xun didn’t make a sound.

The sound of the couple’s kissing became more and more obvious. Yuexi also moaned from time to time.

Mufeng frowned and suddenly raised his hand to cover Jiang Xun’s ears, but not even that was enough to completely block out some of the sounds.

Jiang Xun felt like her whole body was burning hot. Mufeng’s palm was dry and warm as he pressed it against her ears and cheeks.

She was very much aware of the warmth of his hands, and soon her cheeks were also stained a fiery red.

The light in her eyes was no longer as stubborn as before. Her unusually clean and bright eyes looked as if they were misted over as she looked at Mufeng in a daze.

Mufeng’s breathing unconsciously became chaotic. The hot breaths landed on Jiang Xun’s face, warming her eyes and lips.

Jiang Xun couldn’t help but feel that her mouth had become unusually dry and that the only thing she could smell right now was the cold cedar fragrance from Mufeng’s body.

His chest was almost touching hers, with only the distance of a hair’s breadth separating the both of them.

She held her breath nervously and lowered her head uncomfortably, not daring to look at him. She shifted her body a little, wanting to ease her discomfort, but accidentally rubbed against Mufeng’s body.

Mufeng tensed up. His hands suddenly tightened around her waist and he said hoarsely, “Don’t move.”

Where was she trying to rub herself against?!

Mufeng’s dark eyes became deep and dense as his gaze landed on Jiang Xun’s face. She seemed even more beautiful than the last time he saw her. Her face was even fuller than before, and her hair looked even silkier—a far cry from the first time he’d seen her, when she was so skinny and frail.

At this moment, Mufeng was certain that the words ‘pure’ and ‘lustful’ were the most suitable words to describe her.

The beautiful blush on that pure face, coupled with her misty eyes, were enough to tempt one into wanting to touch her.

[Mufeng’s Favorability Rating + 10]

Jiang Xun blinked in confusion.

What on earth?

Why did his favorability suddenly jump up by 10 points?

She gasped in shock and subconsciously raised her head to look at Mufeng, wanting to see his expression. However, she didn’t know that Mufeng was also looking at her at this moment and was unconsciously lowering his head, getting closer and closer to her.

As a result, Jiang Xun suddenly raised her head, and the tip of her nose rubbed against Mufeng’s chin.

Following that, his lips also brushed past his chin.

Both of them were stunned.

Jiang Xun subconsciously puckered her lips. Her lips were stained with the wood fragrance of Mufeng’s aftershave, which was very similar to the smell of his perfume.

Mufeng’s eyes suddenly darkened. His gaze latched onto Jiang Xuns face, as if attracted there by a magnet, and even his breathing became much heavier.

Jiang Xun didn’t expect her lips to accidentally brush against his chin.

It was as if she was kissing him.

She was so shocked that she jerked back, and the back of her head hit the wall with an audible bang.

“What was that sound?” Yuexi, who had finished kissing her now-boyfriend, asked in a low voice.

Xiaoze listened attentively for a few seconds, but didn’t hear any sound. “I didn’t hear anything. Maybe it’s just the wind.”

Yuexi was bashful from the kiss. “Ze, let’s go in first. It would be embarrassing if someone saw us.”

“Okay.” Xiaoze nodded and smiled again. “Our relationship is official now, though, so there’s no need to be scared of being seen.”

As they said that, their voices got further and further away. They had clearly left the balcony.

“Mr. Qin, can you let me go now?” Jiang Xun finally found her voice.
