Chapter 641: Chapter 509: Xiao Jinyan is Actually Shy, The Guests from the Imperial City Realized They All Knew Each Other

Shen Chuwei found something off about Xiao Jinyan today. In the past, during a kiss, he was always more eager than anyone, but today he seemed somewhat wooden?

Could he actually bear not to respond?

Shen Chuwei propped herself up and looked at Xiao Jinyan with confusion, only to see him turning his head away as if showing some distaste.

It wasn’t until she caught sight of his bright red ears that she realized Xiao Jinyan was shy.

Shen Chuwei was so surprised she couldn’t believe it—after all these years of marriage, with a child already, he could still be shy?

Had it not been for that familiar handsome face, she might have doubted that the man before her was Xiao Jinyan.

When they were alone, Xiao Jinyan seemed never to know what shyness was, only ever taking actions that made her shy.

It must be that the sun rose from the west today, for Xiao Jinyan to look as shy as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.

"Jinyan, why are your ears red?"

She shouldn’t have asked. With that question, not only did his ears turn red, but his fair cheeks also blushed a few shades.

He slowly turned his head and looked at Cheng Jiu, seeing those sparkling, bright eyes staring at him, feeling embarrassed and a bit puzzled at the same time.

"Didn’t you say that kissing is something that only boyfriends and girlfriends do?"

At his words, Shen Chuwei’s face was blank with confusion. Had she ever told Xiao Jinyan that kissing was something that only boyfriends and girlfriends did?

Looking at such an innocent Xiao Jinyan, she wondered if he had become foolish...

Lin Xian, frowning, asked, "Who taught you that?"

Shen Chuwei was full of question marks: "Do I need to learn that?"

Lin Xian realized that Little Jiu was a lot bolder now than before, seeing her speak so righteously, he thought she must have been led astray by others during the years they were apart.

"Why did you want to kiss me?" That was the question he really wanted to ask.

Shen Chuwei felt more and more that something was wrong with Xiao Jinyan in front of her; wasn’t a kiss between a married couple a very normal thing?

"Can’t I kiss you?"

Lin Xian hastened to explain, "That’s not what I meant."

Shen Chuwei had wanted to be affectionate with Xiao Jinyan for a while but was interrupted by his strange behavior, and sleepiness overcame her.

She hadn’t slept well last night, and now it was deep into the night; it was no wonder she was so sleepy.

She yawned, "Jinyan, I’m sleepy."

Then she rolled off him and lay beside him, thinking surely he wouldn’t ask her to leave tonight?

Lin Xian was also very tired at this moment, simply too worn out to keep it up. After Little Jiu got off him, he was too lazy to move, and as drowsiness struck, he couldn’t resist and fell asleep.

Shen Chuwei waited for a good while, and seeing that Xiao Jinyan didn’t speak—and although he didn’t ask her to leave—she still felt something was off.

In the past, when they shared a bed, Xiao Jinyan liked to hold her in his embrace while they slept, but this time, he didn’t.

With curiosity, she lifted her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, and saw his eyes were tightly closed, his breathing even, obviously asleep.

"No wonder something felt off, he was asleep."

Shen Chuwei moved closer to his side. It had been too long since she last slept with Xiao Jinyan, and she missed his warmth.

That night, she slept soundly, filled with happiness.

The next day

Lin Xian had the habit of waking up early, even when he couldn’t see initially, he’d wake up early.

When he opened his eyes, he instantly felt something was wrong; it seemed like something was pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

He lifted his head and saw a fair arm lying across his chest, which startled him. Turning to look beside him, he saw a woman lying there—and that woman was Shen Chuwei, who called him her husband over and over.

If not for the fact that he hadn’t drunk the night before and that his injured leg made it inconvenient, seeing Shen Chuwei sleeping next to him, he would have suspected himself of having done something disgraceful.

The woman looked so peaceful sleeping, her cheek nestled against his arm, unconsciously rubbing against it.

His mouth suddenly went dry.

What exactly happened last night?

Lin Xian tried hard to recall the events of the night before; all he remembered was coming back from Ouyang Jingyuan’s and Shen Chuwei giving him acupuncture, after that, he couldn’t remember anything.

He looked at the peacefully sleeping Shen Chuwei, extended his hand, and pushed her, "Wake up."

Shen Chuwei, who had been sleeping sweetly, was pushed awake and she grunted agitatedly, "What?"

Turning over, she continued to sleep cuddled in the quilt.

Lin Xian’s expression darkened; was she doing this deliberately, or did she really have no guard up?

He called her awake again, "Get up."

Shen Chuwei hummed discontentedly and slowly opened her drowsy eyes. Seeing Xiao Jinyan, she sat up at an extremely slow pace and rubbed her eyes, "Why are you waking me up so early? I’m so sleepy."
