Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liang Xun sat beside her and pulled her into his arms naturally. “What’s there to apologize for? You can be angry at me.”
“But you’re doing this for my own good.” Jing Yao could hold it in at first, but she cried when she heard Liang Xun’s gentle voice.
She did not cry out loud. In fact, because she was afraid of being seen by Liang Xun, she reached out and hugged Liang Xun’s waist, burying her face in his chest.
Liang Xun patted her back gently. “You don’t have to think about my motives. I made you angry. You can flare up if you want. Why do you have to think so much when you’re angry? Aren’t you tired?”
Jing Yao kept crying without saying anything.
In fact, her frustration had started in the morning. Ever since Liang Xun said that he wanted to talk to his mother on the phone, she had been feeling a little flustered and frustrated. Then, it was Cheng Wan. Nothing seemed to make her happy.
It was not entirely because of Liang Xun that she was angry just now. Liang Xun was probably a fuse that made her completely explode.
At the thought of this, she felt even more guilty. Liang Xun had been very good to her recently, but she was still angry at him.
She cried so aggrievedly that Liang Xun’s heart ached. He was not stupid and quickly figured everything out. Jing Yao had probably been very frustrated today.
“Alright, alright. Don’t cry anymore. Don’t worry. I’m magnanimous. 1 won’t be angry with you, nor will I feel aggrieved because of this. Actually, I’m quite happy that you’re angry with me.” Liang Xun found the crux of the problem and slowly guided her.
Jing Yao suddenly looked up at him. Her eyes were red and there were tears on her face. She looked very lovable.
However, the words that came out of her mouth were not so cute. She asked, “Liang Xun, do you have Stockholm syndrome? Why are you still happy after being scolded?”
“…” Liang Xun.
He felt that the fact that Jing Yao was willing to flare up at him meant that she didn’t feel so distant from him anymore.
“You really know how to flatter me every day,” Liang Xun said helplessly.
One moment, she said that he was asexual, and the next moment, she said that he had Stockholm syndrome.
Jing Yao was puzzled. “Isn’t that so?”
“Yes, yes, yes. Whatever you say.” Liang Xun gritted his teeth and leaned over to bite Jing Yao’s lips.
Jing Yao was stunned.
Liang Xun carefully observed her expression. Seeing that she did not reject him and was just in a daze, he was in a particularly good mood. He said leisurely, “You were angry at me just now. This is considered a punishment.”
Jing Yao frowned and looked at him in confusion.
Afraid that she would dwell on this matter, Liang Xun changed the topic without batting an eyelid. “Are you still worried about meeting that auntie?”
Jing Yao pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
Liang Xun said, “What’s there to be afraid of? I’ll go and meet her for you.”
“What?” Jing Yao was shocked.
Liang Xun smiled. “I’ll meet her as your current husband.”
“…”Jing Yao.
Jing Yao’s fair face was flushed. She lowered her head. “No, I’ll go see her myself.”
Liang Xun was actually just joking to make her happy. He said gently, “Just go boldly.
There’s no need to be afraid or feel guilty. It’s not your fault that things developed to this point.”
He had been with Jing Yao for so long, but he had never seen Wen Chen look for Jing Yao. Moreover, Wen Chen was the one who proposed to cancel the engagement first.
The Wen Chen he saw was arrogant and didn’t know how to respect women. He didn’t give women equal opportunities to interact with him. Such a person wasn’t worthy of Jing Yao at all.
“Alright, don’t think about that. I’ll take care of everything. You should take an afternoon nap now.” Liang Xun led Jing Yao to wash her face.
After washing her face, Jing Yao lay on the bed and kept looking at him.
Liang Xun said helplessly, “Close your eyes and sleep.”
Jing Yao said, sounding a little aggrieved. “I can’t sleep. I’m not sleepy anymore.”
Liang Xun was in a difficult position. He thought for a moment and said, “Then why don’t 1 tell you a bedtime story?”
Jing Yao looked at him in shock. Was he coaxing her like a child?
“Sure, go ahead.” Jing Yao looked at him expectantly.
“…” Liang Xun.
Jing Yao originally just wanted to tease Liang Xun, but when she thought of Liang Xun’s gentle and pleasant voice, she suddenly took it seriously.
She looked at Liang Xun with curved eyes. “You have to speak in a gentler and deeper voice.”
Liang Xun shot himself in the foot. Seeing that Jing Yao was smiling happily, he took a deep breath and went all out. “Lie down. 1’11 go find a book..”
