When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Soon, the brown sugar egg was finished, and Zhou Chengchen felt a warm sensation in her lower abdomen, much more comfortable. She didn’t want to lie down, so she sat wrapped in a blanket, her eyes bright as she looked at Xi Siyan: "Xi, you’re so thoughtful."

Xi Siyan reverted to his icy demeanor, completely ignoring her, and got up to wash the dishes. Zhou Chengchen rolled around on his bed for a while, suddenly remembering something.

How come Xi Siyan is so skilled?

He not only bought her clothes, but didn’t forget the ones underneath, and he also made ginger tea and cooked brown sugar eggs for her.

Is he so skilled because he often did this before?

Who? Who made him do it often?

Did he have a girlfriend before?

The happiness and sweetness from before suddenly turned into a sour bitterness, jealousy running rampant in her heart. Zhou Chengchen suddenly tossed the blanket aside and jumped up.

Just as Xi Siyan finished washing the dishes and came out of the small kitchen, he saw Zhou Chengchen coming out.

"Feeling better?"

"Not..."

Zhou Chengchen bit her lip; she doesn’t like keeping things bottled up, especially things that make her feel so sour.

Although asking might be very embarrassing, Zhou Chengchen still opened her mouth: "Xi, you’re so good at taking care of people, did you often take care of people before? Girlfriend?"

Xi Siyan gave her a strange look, a small thought suddenly popped into his mind, and he replied blandly, "Yes."

For a moment, the sour bitterness in Zhou Chengchen’s heart reached its peak; did he really have a girlfriend before?

The light in her eyes gradually dimmed, but then she heard him nonchalantly add, "Did you believe it?"

Huh?

What does this mean?

Is he teasing her?

But Xi Siyan said nothing, wearing an expression that seemed to say, "Guess for yourself."

Zhou Chengchen gritted her teeth, angry, Xi, teasing your future girlfriend like this will get you in trouble, you know?

Zhou Chengchen pouted, and suddenly Xi Siyan crossed his arms with interest as he looked at her: "Zhou, you’re so good at pursuing people, did you often pursue people before? Boyfriend?"

"No!"

Zhou Chengchen retorted without thinking; she hasn’t pursued anyone before, okay, and she hasn’t had a boyfriend either.

"I’ve only pursued you, and haven’t even..."

Zhou Chengchen hadn’t finished saying "haven’t caught up yet" when a shadow suddenly loomed over her; it was Xi Siyan who had stepped closer, and as she lowered her head, Xi Siyan’s gaze landed on her hair.

Both of them were acting a bit unusual today, especially Xi Siyan.

Upon hearing Zhou Chengchen’s muttering, "I’ve only pursued you," his heart suddenly gave a yank, then started beating at an unprecedented rate.

Xi Siyan’s gaze shifted, landing on Zhou Chengchen’s fair forehead, downward, to her rosy lips.

His Adam’s apple moved up and down; he suddenly wanted to kiss her.

But Xi Siyan is Xi Siyan after all; his self-control has always been extremely strong.

He quickly reined in his thoughts and pressed his hand on Zhou Chengchen’s forehead.

"Cheng Chen, for some things, now is not the time."

Zhou Chengchen froze. Did he just call her... Cheng Chen?

What does he mean by saying some things are not the time now?

Rejection?

No, it doesn’t seem like it... it seems like...

Zhou Chengchen swallowed, raised her head, and her eyes were clear and bright: "Does that mean when the time comes, it’ll be the right time?"

Xi Siyan was also a bit stunned by what she said, and decided not to reveal too much, a concept likely beyond this girl’s understanding.

Forget it!

Xi Siyan lightly hummed in acknowledgment.

On the way home in a taxi after leaving Xi Siyan’s place, Zhou Chengchen’s heart was blooming with joy the entire way.
