Engagement Annulled? Now The Husbands Kneel and Beg for Her Favor Chapter 135: Wanna Touch?
The mont Jiang Qingli spoke, she sensed Qin Muye freeze for a couple of seconds.
It was as if the word "date" had stunned him. The young man’s breath hitched, and the tips of his ears turned red.
Perhaps because he’d opened the door in a hurry, his pajamas hung loosely on his fra, revealing a large expanse of his pale yet powerful musculature. He wasn’t deliberately posing, yet he was filled with an undeniable air of virility.
Jiang Qingli realized then that she’d never really taken a good look at his body before.
While Qin Muye had an arrogant, untamable personality, his physique wasn’t that of a bulky bodybuilder. Instead, it was beautifully sculpted.
Every muscle was perfectly defined. Veins coiled on his forearms, radiating a potent sense of power and wildness.
In the morning light, her appreciative gaze road over him, inch by inch, and seed to be drifting lower...
Every place her eyes touched seed to grow hot, as if caressed by an invisible hand.
Qin Muye felt a slight urge to hide, but when he saw the corners of her lips curve into a smile, he found himself wanting her to look a little longer.
Lately, when he wasn’t studying or thinking about her, he was practically living in the gym.
’This body is just too perfect. Definitely better than that damn snake and that damn fox!’
As she continued to watch, Jiang Qingli raised her hand.
’Is... is she going to touch ?’
Qin Muye’s abs clenched. Just as he was about to take a deep breath, the tip of his ear twitched. He heard footsteps.
He instinctively grabbed Jiang Qingli’s wrist and pulled her inside.
As he moved, her warm body pressed against his.
"What’s wrong?" Jiang Qingli whispered.
She wasn’t shy about it either. Taking advantage of their proximity, she gave his muscles a couple of exploratory squeezes, her breath grazing his skin.
Qin Muye’s breath hitched, and his scalp tingled. He almost lost control.
After a mont, he managed to say, "Soone’s here."
"Who?"
Just as she asked, the footsteps drew near, followed by a knock on the door.
Qin Muye raised his voice. "What is it?"
"Prince." It was Yi Nuo’s voice.
The Gray Wolf Butler’s tone was formal, all business. "The Imperial Family sent over so health supplents. Would you like to take them now or later?"
Qin Muye tsked.
’Couldn’t co earlier, couldn’t co later. Had to show up just as Jiang Qingli was about to touch .’
’This damned gray dog is so conniving.’
Qin Muye said lazily, "I’ll have them with breakfast."
Yi Nuo acknowledged the order but didn’t leave right away.
He lingered for a few minutes before finally departing.
Inside, Jiang Qingli asked, "What supplents? Are you hurt?"
"I don’t know. Maybe they’re from Qin Shu." Qin Muye walked further into the room. "Have a seat on the sofa. I’ll be ready in a minute."
Returning to the walk-in closet, Qin Muye opened his wardrobe. He had just pulled out an outfit when he suddenly felt sothing was off. He turned his head and was surprised to find Jiang Qingli had followed him in.
She was standing beside a sofa, eyeing a mountain-like pile of clothes, and a smile touched her lips.
Qin Muye instantly bristled. "What are you laughing at?!"
"I just think you’re cute," Jiang Qingli said with a grin. "So, even the Prince can be indecisive."
Qin Muye hadn’t wanted her to know he’d spent ages picking out clothes just for their outing.
’That would make seem too indecisive, not masculine enough. She’d probably laugh at .’
But she’d called him cute, and the tips of Qin Muye’s ears burned hot again.
Qin Muye averted his gaze. "Then you pick one for ."
’We’re going out together, after all. It’s only right that she chooses.’
Jiang Qingli didn’t object. She walked over, rummaged through his wardrobe, and began holding a few items up against him to see how they looked.
Qin Muye looked away, watching her reflection in the full-length mirror.
Jiang Qingli was wearing an off-the-shoulder white dress with a soft, ruffled hem that revealed her long, slender legs.
Her dark hair was braided on the sides, with the rest cascading over her shoulders, exquisitely adorned with bows and pearls.
She looked sweet and beautiful, like a pampered little princess.
Qin Muye’s lips curved. "Did you braid your hair yourself?"
"As if I could do this," Jiang Qingli said, putting the shirt she was holding back and grabbing another. "Gu Nian did it for . He’s really good with his hands, great at styling..."
Before she could finish, Jiang Qingli felt the atmosphere in the room instantly turn frigid. But when she glanced over, Qin Muye’s expression was normal, so she looked back down and continued her search for an outfit.
She didn’t see that the mont she looked away, Qin Muye’s reflection in the mirror showed his face instantly darkening.
’Fuck.’
’That damn rabbit really knows how to piss a guy off.’
’He knew damn well Jiang Qingli was going out with today, but he still had to butt in.’
’I bet while he was braiding her hair, he was acting like so unweaned little brat, whining ’Big Sister, Big Sister’ over and over again.’
’Tomorrow, I’ll have to ask if the orphanage for special needs kids accepts eighteen-year-olds.’
After changing into the outfit Jiang Qingli had picked out, Qin Muye opened his mouth to say sothing several tis, but always swallowed his words.
He was terrible at hiding his emotions; everything was written all over his face.
Jiang Qingli asked with amusent, "What’s wrong?"
Qin Muye desperately wanted her to change, but she looked so beautiful, and he had no good reason to ask her to. After struggling for a mont, he finally choked out, "So, where are we going?"
Jiang Qingli said, "I was thinking we could go to an amusent park. Do you have other ideas?"
The mont he heard the destination, Qin Muye had his opening.
"Your... your dress looks great," Qin Muye began, laying the groundwork. "But amusent parks have roller coasters. That skirt is a little too short, you know? It might... ride up."
’It was only a few centiters above the knee, but he made it sound scandalously short.’
’Still, the fact that he noticed shows that this little puppy does care about his owner.’
Since it was their date, Jiang Qingli decided to accept his suggestion. "Alright, then you can pick sothing out for ."
Qin Muye’s eyes instantly lit up.
-
Ten minutes later, Jiang Qingli, now dressed in a red flutter-sleeve top and slim-fit jeans, was settling into the passenger seat of Qin Muye’s sports car.
Qin Muye fastened her seatbelt, looking at the splash of vibrant color, very pleased with his choice of clothing.
’Red really brings out the fairness of her skin. It looks incredible on her.’
The car pulled up to the entrance of XN Amusent Park.
It was the most popular amusent park in the First District. The decor was fantastical, with colorful balloons floating in the air and costud cartoon animals standing by the entrance, smiling and greeting every visitor. The whole place radiated a fairytale-like charm.
While waiting in line, Jiang Qingli could hear distant screams from the roller coaster, which made her eager to try it herself.
Tickets had to be purchased on-site. When it was her turn, she was just about to pay with her terminal when a robot shaped like a cartoon rabbit beeped. "Welco, Miss Jiang Qingli, lifeti mber of XN Park."
"It has been a long ti, Miss Jiang."
"We hope you have a wonderful ti today."
Jiang Qingli froze.
A woman’s fond, resigned laughter echoed in her mind. "Alright, alright. Since Xiao Li loves the amusent park so much, I’ll get lifeti mberships for you and your brother."
"But you’re just kids, so you’re not allowed to co here on your own, understand?"
SNAP.
A pair of long fingers snapped in front of her face. Qin Muye leaned down to look at her. "What are you spacing out for?"
Jiang Qingli looked around, still in a bit of a daze. "I just have a strong sense of déjà vu."
"You must have co here often," Qin Muye remarked, rembering her lifeti mbership.
’Ca here often? Not . That must have been the original owner of this body.’
’Was that one of her mories?’
’Why does my chest feel so tight all of a sudden? It’s so uncomfortable.’
She felt a gaze fall upon her, intense and searing with a prying quality.
Jiang Qingli scanned the area, but no one was looking in their direction.
’Was I imagining it?’
Her eyes fell on a visitor wearing a cartoon headband, and her attention was diverted. She grabbed Qin Muye’s hand and pulled him toward a gift shop.
A security cara in a corner flashed with a red light, its lens swiveling to follow her.
In a shadowy corner near the entrance, soone spoke quietly into a Bluetooth earpiece. "Target has appeared. Proceeding toward the the shop in Zone A."
"Copy that."
"The target... is with Qin Muye." The person hesitated. "A mber of the Imperial Family is with her. It’s not a good ti to make our move, is it?"
The person on the other end was silent for several seconds before replying in a vicious tone:
"The order ca from above. She must be eliminated today. If you fail, you’ll pay with your life!"
