23 – Getting Jealous Just from a Glance at Other Women?
“Am I being irritable? I’m perfectly calm!” Ye Zhuohuai panted heavily, his shoulders heaving with each breath.
Chi Mi tilted her head slightly. “Hmm?”
Calm?
He was talking nonsense with his eyes wide open!
“Chi Mi, you’re my wife! Every part of you can only be touched by me.” Ye Zhuohuai wished he could go twist that bastard’s head off right now.
But he wanted to stay with his wife even more!
He couldn’t refuse his wife’s enthusiastic invitation!
“Alright, only you can touch me…” Chi Mi said softly and gently. “Then I’m going on duty. You rest here, consider it keeping me company, OK?”
“Not OK!”
“Then what do you want?”
“Keeping you company means wherever you are, I am!”
“Then I’ll go first, you make me a cup of tea.” Chi Mi shamelessly ordered him around.
Ye Zhuohuai: (O_O)?
Chi Mi!
You really are something!
Just because he likes her, she actually dares to order him around!
In his territory, no one can order him around so brazenly!
Except…
Mimi.
Chi Mi left without looking back.
Returning to the duty station, the little nurse wore a knowing, delighted smile. “Ahhh! A boyfriend! You actually have a boyfriend! So handsome! Even more handsome than celebrities and idols! You two look so good together!”
Chi Mi felt her eardrums were about to burst.
Could it be that Ye Zhuohuai was praised too highly by these looks-obsessed people, making him so narcissistic?
“Where did you find your boyfriend! I really want to find one too!” The little nurse looked at Chi Mi, then thought about her own face. “Forget it, such a handsome boyfriend, I couldn’t handle it.”
“Oh my god! Goddess Nüwa! How did you sculpt him! So unfair!”
“Ahhh! I don’t want to be a little mud speck!”
The little nurse howled dramatically at the ceiling.
Suddenly catching sight of Ye Zhuohuai appearing with a cup of tea, she immediately toned down her exaggerated expression, but inside she couldn’t help but scream—so handsome!!!
She had never seen such a dashing, handsome man, elegant and peerlessly good-looking.
What was this called?
One look could make someone pregnant!
Ye Zhuohuai swaggered over and sat down beside Chi Mi. “Wife, are you hungry?”
“A little.”
“I knew you’d be hungry. Late-night snacks will be delivered soon.” Ye Zhuohuai said with a proud, smug look. “Try it, tea brewed by me personally.”
Premium West Lake Longjing tea, the tenderest, youngest buds from the tea tree, the tiny sprouts. The brewed tea smelled different, a light, delicate fragrance.
Chi Mi picked up the teacup. “Mmm, delicious, thanks.”
“What’s there to thank? I’m going to brew tea for you for a lifetime.” Ye Zhuohuai eagerly wrapped his arm around her slender waist. “Wife.”
What was he trying to do?
There were other people around!
Don’t get all lovey-dovey!
Hmm.
That tickles.
If he’s going to hold me, why is he moving his fingers?
Chi Mi glanced down. His well-defined fingers gently kneaded her waist, fingertips slightly pink, nails clean and neat. The movement looked undeniably suggestive.
She forced herself to stay calm, continuing to sip her tea slowly.
The nurse beside them was on-site shipping the couple, watching intently, her smiling lips unable to come down.
The repeated calls of “wife” were so sweet.
That look in his eyes was so doting!
So gentle it was almost suffocating.
“Does your colleague here have something wrong with her mouth and eyes?” Ye Zhuohuai glanced coldly at the nurse beside them. “Seems like she has a facial paralysis.”
“You’re the one with facial paralysis! How can you say that about a young girl!” Chi Mi turned to apologize.”No, nothing… someone’s calling me.” The little nurse’s desk lamp lit up.
The little nurse dashed away.
Now it was just the two of them left.
Chi Mi felt like a lamb entering a tiger’s den.
“Chi Mi!”
“Could you pour me another glass of water?” Seeing his expression shift, Chi Mi quickly spoke up.
At home, Ye Zhuohuai was used to having everything handed to him—he never even lifted a finger for simple tasks like pouring water.
But one look at Chi Mi’s face reminded him: this was his wife’s request!
His father had said that a wife’s request was the highest command; obeying it was the only way to ensure a good life ahead.
He picked up the teacup, poured some hot water, and returned.
The teacup emitted faint wisps of steam, curling upward in delicate white tendrils.
Chi Mi stared at the teacup, while Ye Zhuohuai stared at her, his right hand resting on the table, fingers tapping lightly. “Let’s talk about how you reacted just now when I said she had a poker face. That wasn’t right.”
“What wasn’t right?” Chi Mi avoided his gaze.
“Your attitude isn’t right!” Ye Zhuohuai pinched her chin with his left hand. “Look at me!”
“After seven days apart, Ah Huai, you’re still so handsome!”
“My handsomeness is common knowledge! No need to repeat it.” Ye Zhuohuai’s fingers gently stroked her chin. “You should be questioning me about why I was looking at another woman. Aren’t you jealous?”
Chi Mi: Σ(дlll)
Jealous just from glancing at another woman???
That’s a bit too much.
“You were right in front of me, and it was just a casual glance. In that situation, I wouldn’t be jealous. But if you kept staring at someone else, ignoring me completely, and showing interest, I’d gouge your eyes out!” Chi Mi smiled.
That answer should satisfy him.
“Even though I know you’re just humoring me, I still fell for it.” Ye Zhuohuai withdrew his hand.
The takeout arrived.
The entire table was covered with food.
Truly a move worthy of Ye Zhuohuai.
Could the two of them finish it all?
When the little nurse returned, she found the table laden with delicacies.
Chi Mi warmly invited her to join them, offering food and drinks, with Ye Zhuohuai waiting on them nearby.
There were crabs, shrimp, abalone, sea cucumber, beef, grilled fish, chicken feet…
Ye Zhuohuai was practically feeding her like a pig.
The three of them ate and drank, leaving quite a bit leftover. The little nurse stored it in the fridge for tomorrow.
Chi Mi grew drowsy. Having eaten and drunk her fill, the little nurse gave Ye Zhuohuai a meaningful look. “Take her to sleep. I’ll keep watch here.”
Ye Zhuohuai gently stroked Chi Mi’s hair. It was his first time carrying her, and he felt a bit unsure.
Where should he hold her?
How should he carry her?
He stood beside her, gesturing a few times before finally sliding one arm under her legs and the other behind her back, lifting her up.
As soon as he picked her up, Chi Mi startled awake.
Realizing she was in Ye Zhuohuai’s arms, she asked, “What are you doing?”
“You’re tired. I’m taking you to your room.”
“I’m on duty.”
“It’s fine.” Ye Zhuohuai quickened his pace.
After returning to the country, she had been adjusting to the time difference. Unexpectedly, her schedule had flipped again this week, completely disrupting her biological clock and even delaying her period.
Thinking of this, a shadow of worry flickered in Chi Mi’s eyes.
To Ye Zhuohuai, her expression seemed to reflect lingering thoughts about being bullied by that scoundrel. His gaze darkened, the light brown of his eyes deepening.
Chi Mi’s office had a small bed, pitifully tiny, just enough for her to sleep on alone.
Ye Zhuohuai laid her on the bed and drew the curtain around it.His wife was sleeping, and he stayed by her side keeping watch.
Chi Mi had been quite restless, but perhaps because Ye Zhuohuai was nearby, she actually managed to fall asleep.
Ye Zhuohuai slipped under the covers, leaned over, and stole several kisses from her.
Such a sweet-smelling wife—she was his.
The next morning.
When Chi Mi woke up, the office was empty.
Where was Ye Zhuohuai?
