Chapter 313: Chapter 221: Flirting?

The first watch arrived. A special thanks to "Hot Love^^", who has always supported Nuan~

-----------------------------------------------------

"What’s wrong with my physique? What’s wrong with my capabilities?" Chuxia stood in front of Mikang, her body leaning slightly forward, her face almost touching his, "Are you looking down on me? Huh?"

Her warm breath fanned his face, and the faint scent lingering around the tip of his nose made Mikang feel as if someone was choking him, leaving him gasping for air...

Seeing his stunned expression, Chuxia smiled triumphantly. After hesitating for a moment, her hands trembling slightly, she grasped his neck and sat on his lap, tilting her face up and continued haughtily, "Say it, are you looking down on me?" Her voice clearly quivered.

"Do... do you know what you are doing?" Mikang, having regained his senses, exerted all his strength to squeeze out those words, his voice deep and sexy.

"Of... of... course." Feeling the sudden heat surge beneath her, the once confident Chuxia Tongzi grew panicked like a rabbit thumping in her chest, her tongue unable to straighten properly.

Mikang’s eyes glinted with a trace of amusement, "Scared?"

"No... I’m not scared!" Seemingly to prove she truly wasn’t scared, Chuxia even put on airs, puffing out her small chest.

Although she was thin, she developed well. Given her nervousness, she exerted a little too much force; her firm chest trembled tremulously with her movements... Mikang closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then another deep breath, struggling to suppress the turbulence in his heart before he gently pushed Chuxia, "Behave, stop making trouble."

"I’m not making trouble!" She retorted righteously, "When have I ever caused trouble?"

Not causing trouble? He was a healthy young man filled with vigor! Holding his wife yet unable to touch her was like begging for his life!

"Do you dislike me?" Chuxia pouted, aggrieved, "We just got married, and you already don’t want to look at me. What will happen when I get old? Are you going to throw me out then?"

"Why are you thinking nonsense? Chuxia, I understand what you mean, but I, Mikang Zhou, am a man of integrity and I don’t want you to express your feelings to me in this manner."

"Have you made up your mind to send me away?" Chuxia’s big eyes gradually misted up, "So in your heart, I am just an object, something to keep when you can protect and to give away when you can’t?"

"In my heart..." Mikang stared blankly, unable to continue.

This decision pained him deeply but he knew all too well the despicable nature of Xiao Yuwen. If he didn’t arrange everything for her before his freedom was restricted, the consequences would be unbearable for both of them.

She did not understand how cruel this struggle was. With his pride, life, death, and torture were not to be feared, but allowing her to experience all this was absolutely unacceptable!

Suppressing the softness in his heart, his voice suddenly turned cold and harsh, "In my heart, you are indeed just a pretty object. The trouble that the Zhou family faced started because of you, so I don’t want to see you anymore. I want to send you away to someone else."

"I will bite you to death!" Chuxia bit down hard on his arm, the increasingly intense taste of blood in her mouth finally clearing her mind a bit.

Dejectedly, she climbed down from him, dragged a stool over, and sat opposite him, her big eyes filled with sadness as she watched him, unblinkingly...

Considering her actual situation, the best thing she could offer him at this moment was to make him realize her willingness to share in his joys and hardships.

Recalling every moment since she met him, she was certain that he would be a responsible and reliable husband, a rare treasure and a lover hard to find. At this time, she must stand by his side!

"The way you spoke just now made me very angry!" Finally, when he seemed unable to bear her brimming gaze any longer, she spoke, "Don’t treat me like a fool, nor put on this melodramatic scene. Do you think I would believe that?

Do you think you are doing something grand? Mikang Zhou, if you really do that, I would only despise you! If you can’t even protect your own woman, what kind of man are you?"

She alternated between soft and steely, and as cat and tiger-like, Tongzi naturally understood her intention, the so-called strategy of combining kindness with severity.

But how could she understand how cruel the situation was, not something he could resolve just by gritting his teeth. If it were not an absolute necessity, why would he choose this path?

"When faced with a problem, deceiving the other person with lies and harsh words, pushing them away to bear it alone, thinking oneself quite grand, is actually just selfish!

You must not always think of me as a naive child. Indeed, my family background means I will never encounter the kind of hardship your family is facing.

But not encountering it doesn’t mean I don’t understand its cruelty. I am not a fool who would knowingly rush into danger.

If taking refuge with Uncle Jing can spare me from Xiao Yuwen’s persecution and relieve your worries, I can go there, but please, do not use divorce as a solution."

You might say, if you didn’t divorce and take refuge in the Jing family, it would make the Xiao family harbor animosity against the Jing family. But let me ask, if you divorced and took refuge in the Jing family, wouldn’t the Xiao family still harbor animosity towards the Jing family?

In this matter, no matter what you do, the Jing family’s stance remains the same; instead of us slaughtering each other here, it would be better to use this time to think of a proper solution."

Was she educating herself? Zhou Mikang had a frustrated expression, yet felt a faint sense of being moved. He thought, given her aversion towards him, that she would happily agree when he proposed divorce, but he didn’t expect the outcome to be like this.

If the first refusal was a test, then, the repeated refusals were a decision.

With her acting this way, what right did he have to be overly sensitive?

Originally, he thought, since she didn’t like him anyway, that using this opportunity to give her freedom would ease some of the guilt at the bottom of his heart.

This little one always managed to pleasantly surprise him at the right times.

Most girls, facing this kind of situation, would’ve already been crying their eyes out without a clue, yet here she was, assertively reasoning with him.

A swell of warmth surged in his heart as he reached out to touch her head, "Lin Chuxia, you better think this through, I am a domineering person, if you don’t run this time, you won’t be able to escape me in the future!"

"Pfft!" Chuxia scoffed, "If you ever do something wrong to me, no matter how domineering, it won’t stop me from running away!"

A smile appeared in his eyes, suddenly, he felt completely relieved about his past experiences. If not for that failed romance, perhaps, he would have already been married and would never have met such a perfect little one.

Thinking this, he reminded himself that he shouldn’t describe her as a little one in the future, thinking this way always made him treat her like a child, but judging by her expression, she seemed to hate when he treated her like one. Right, she wanted equality, and he should try to give her that in the future.

"Chuxia, during this time, you might have to suffer some grievances. Even if Uncle Jing manages to protect you, people will still gossip, and some might even say unpleasant things to your face..."

Chuxia interrupted him, "I’ve thought about all of this, don’t worry, I will endure it. However, anyone who dares to bully me during this time, I will remember them, and when you come back, you must help me settle the score with each of them! And I must emphasize, I want to be present when you do it, meow, the people who dare to bully me must have never died before!"

Zhou Mikang: "..." Can someone who has died still stand in front of you? He didn’t know what to say about his little wife’s peculiar way of thinking.

"Hug me. Comfort my hurt little heart..." Chuxia said as she cozied into him, her eyes full of grievances, "I’m warning you, no matter what happens in the future, you’re not allowed to lie, deceive, or drive me away. What I hate the most is being lied to and hidden from, under the mistaken belief that it’s for my own good."

"Alright, I will not do that anymore." This time Zhou Mikang didn’t sit as stiffly as before, but wrapped his arms around her and hugged her close.

Feeling her body tensing slightly, a mischievous glint passed through his eyes as he rubbed his chin back and forth on her forehead, the stubble making her shrink her neck, "Behave, stop it!"

"Okay." He really complied and remained still.

In the past, he was so assertive; who would have thought he could be so obedient now? Ah, it seems that this incident really hit him hard, otherwise, someone as proud as him, why would he think of such a messed-up way to give her freedom?

That being said, although she wasn’t psychologically prepared, Chuxia gritted her teeth and decided to go for it! With trembling hands, she began to unbutton his shirt... He paused, a smirk curling at the corner of his lips, "What are you trying to do?"

"No... no... nothing." Chuxia’s voice trembled as if she were sitting in a bumpy ox cart.

"Nothing? Then why are you unbuttoning my shirt?"

"To... to... let you rest early." Chuxia, so annoyed, wanted to reach inside and straighten her tongue. Why be nervous, don’t all women have to face this hurdle?

Isn’t this an exceptional situation? In the 21st century, would the new generation be scared off by something like this? Uh... well, perhaps, she really was scared, she had been trying to unbutton just one shirt button for quite some time now but still hadn’t managed to... embarassing. ~

"Need my help?"

"Please." Chuxia quickly withdrew her little paws and ran off to the bathroom as if escaping, "I’m going to take a bath, you undress yourself." The bathroom door slammed shut, and after a moment, it burst open again, "Lie on the bed naked and wait for me!"

"Bang!"

This time the bathroom door didn’t open again, and soon, the sound of running water came from inside.

Zhou Mikang sat there stiffly. Had he just been teased? Or...(to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com), or purchase a monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
