Was it you that night?
Chapter 235 - 233: How Can He Hold Himself Back in Front of Shen Qinghe?

Chapter 235: Chapter 233: How Can He Hold Himself Back in Front of Shen Qinghe?

When it got dark, Shen Zhiyao discovered that she couldn’t enter the Simple Residence Courtyard, knowing all too well that it was Dongfang Wuya who had set up a Barrier.

This was clearly where she lived, yet she had no place to call her own, a pitiful and lamentable situation.

Qinghe had already said that the marriage with Dongfang Wuya was off, so what was he doing staying in the Simple Residence Courtyard without leaving?

It couldn’t be that even now, Dongfang Wuya still wished to spend the night at the Simple Residence Courtyard, right?

Back when the two were discussing marriage, it made sense for Dongfang Wuya to stay over, after all, the cultivation world is quite open-minded, and cohabitation before marriage is a common occurrence.

But now that their marriage was called off, wouldn’t sleeping together be quite improper?

Shen Zhiyao was scratching her heart and liver with frustration, really wanting to go in and see what exactly was going on, but she had no ability to break the Barrier set up by Dongfang Wuya.

Inside the Simple Residence Courtyard, because of Dongfang Wuya’s strong presence, Shen Qinghe also couldn’t concentrate on her cultivation. Seeing that it was almost Zi Hour, Dongfang Wuya was still beside her, watching her cultivate with focus, which made her very depressed.

"What’s wrong?" Dongfang Wuya saw Shen Qinghe suddenly approaching him and looked at her expectantly.

Could it be that she had realized her cultivation was yielding little result, so she coveted his body, and as a result, desired to engage in Dual Cultivation with him?

Shen Qinghe cleared her throat and reminded Dongfang Wuya, "It’s getting late."

Shouldn’t he be going back to Bixiao Tower?

It certainly couldn’t be that he still wanted to spend the night here. Although they had once had a very intimate relationship, now that the marriage was off, they couldn’t be as intimate as before.

"Hmm, early arrangements should be made," Dongfang Wuya concurred and was about to take Shen Qinghe’s hand.

Shen Qinghe quickly shook him off and shouted, "Mr. Wuya, please have some dignity!"

The smile on Dongfang Wuya’s face vanished instantly, as he asked with a cold expression, "What do you mean have some dignity?!"

They had slept together before, and now she was telling him to have dignity?

How could he possibly restrain himself in front of Shen Qinghe?

All Shen Qinghe wanted was to sputter in Dongfang Wuya’s face, this man was not self-aware at all.

She couldn’t be bothered to argue about dignity, so she simply rushed him, "It’s getting late, shouldn’t Mr. Wuya be returning to Bixiao Tower now?!"

"I, the noble Lord, will not return!" Dongfang Wuya arrogantly replied.

What gave her the right to dismiss him, and why should he leave? She wasn’t his Daoist companion, so why should he follow her orders?

Shen Qinghe really didn’t expect Dongfang Wuya to have the audacity to be so shameless and assertive.

"This is my residence, and besides, it’s night..."

Before she could finish, Dongfang Wuya interrupted her, "So what if it’s night?"

Shen Qinghe almost laughed with exasperation, "Does it make any sense for the noble Mr. Wuya to stubbornly stay in a Female Cultivator’s separate residence without leaving?"

Wasn’t he supposed to care about his reputation the most? How could he resort to such shameless behavior?

"Why doesn’t it make sense? It was you who received me but did not treasure me. Could it not be that by staying in your courtyard, I am merely collecting a debt? Shen Qinghe, don’t forget I am not only your life-saving benefactor, but you also took my virginity! How can you have the face to drive me away?!" With righteousness and indignation, Dongfang Wuya rebuked Shen Qinghe and then walked into her bedroom, brazenly lying on her bed.

Seeing this, Shen Qinghe knew Dongfang Wuya was planning to make himself at home in her nest.

She stood silently for a while, realizing that she indeed owed Dongfang Wuya quite a lot. If he wanted to sleep in her bed, then let him have it.

At worst, she could sleep in her elder sister’s room for a while.

It was only after she entered Shen Zhiyao’s room and found it empty that she realized Dongfang Wuya had cast a Barrier on the Simple Residence Courtyard.

She was speechless and hurriedly asked Dongfang Wuya to remove the Barrier.

Dongfang Wuya looked at her with cold eyes, and she had no choice but to soften her tone, "Elder sister hasn’t done anything to wrong you, what does it look like, blocking her outside like this?"

Dongfang Wuya immediately spoke in a sarcastic tone, "You’re right. It’s Shen Qinghe who’s been fickle and abandoned, Shen Zhiyao is just the sister of this faithless woman, what great wrong has she done?"

His resentful tone almost made Shen Qinghe lose her composure, but she managed to hold it in.

Afterward, Dongfang Wuya lifted the Barrier, and Shen Qinghe immediately took Shen Zhiyao into the house.

"Isn’t the person in your room planning to leave tonight?" Shen Zhiyao asked in a lowered voice.

Shen Qinghe made a face, "What can I do if he doesn’t leave? I can’t beat him and my face isn’t as thick as his."

Dongfang Wuya pricked up his ears upon hearing this and touched his own face.

Ever since he met this woman, he had discovered that he actually had thick skin. The most miserable part was that he had fallen under her spell, and yet she intended to leave him. How could he allow her such audacity?

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyao sighed, "If Mr. Wuya stays here tonight, tomorrow rumors about you and Mr. Wuya will spread throughout the Sky Pole Sect again. Are you really not going to drive him off?"

Shen Qinghe was silent for a moment, "Why don’t elder sister drive him off?"

Shen Zhiyao immediately cowered, "Never mind, this is your matter, it has nothing to do with me. It’s not right for me to intervene in your affairs."

Shen Qinghe said discontentedly, "So this is the sisterly affection of the Shen sisters."

Shen Zhiyao felt a bit guilty, "It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but that I can’t beat him. He might show mercy to you, but he won’t for me, my life is precious. Just let him stay here for one night. After all, it’s not like you and he have never slept together."

Shen Qinghe: ...

While the Shen sisters were whispering, Dongfang Wuya’s voice came from next door, "Shen Qinghe, come here!"

Shen Qinghe instinctively wanted to go, but Shen Zhiyao grabbed her, "You’re not his fiancée right now; you don’t have to cater to his every whim."

"But he says he’s my lifesaver, and I even took his virginity without taking responsibility for him, he says I owe him."Shen Qinghe, who always valued affection, was also most afraid of owing favors.

Shen Zhiyao looked at her with a complex expression, "Forget it, go ahead. But if he tries to do anything to you, you must sternly refuse, don’t let him take advantage of you again."

Shen Qinghe blushed and quickly went to the next room, only to see the man on the bed baring his upper body, his beautiful muscle lines dazzling her.

Dongfang Wuya was very satisfied that his beauty trap had worked. Seeing Shen Qinghe avert her gaze, he finally deigned to speak, "Come over, sit by the bed."

Shen Qinghe’s face reddened, "Put on your clothes properly first, or I won’t come over!"

Dongfang Wuya clicked his tongue lightly, "We’ve already slept together, why are you still pretending to be coy?"

He casually grabbed a piece of clothing, and when Shen Qinghe looked over, she found that his chest was showing a lot of skin and his flirtatious, peach blossom eyes were full of spring, which seemed even more provocative than being shirtless.

Shen Qinghe felt her heart racing.

Although she was not sure if her feelings for him were romantic, she was certain that this man’s beauty had a great lethal effect on her.

"Come a little closer, I won’t eat you," Dongfang Wuya coaxed gently.

Although Shen Qinghe had no defenses against Dongfang Wuya, the way he intentionally tried to seduce her with his good looks made her wary, "Just say what you want to say. I can hear you."
