Chapter 272
Travelling Doctor (1)
Mu Mingtang was caught off guard when Xie Xuanchen unexpectedly pulled her so close. As a result, it looked like she just threw herself at him. Her face was close enough to reach his chin.
Mu Mingtang’s face had an unusual shade of red as she hurriedly tried to flee and keep some distance between them, but Xie Xuanchen hadn’t loosened his grip, causing her to fall back again in his arms.
Although Xie Xuanchen had delicately beautiful hands, the strength they held was not something anyone could easily escape from as they wished. He had an iron grip.
As Mu Mingtang struggled to get out from Xie Xuanchen’s embrace, her face got redder and redder: “You let go. There are still people here. You…”
Xie Xuanchen raised his eyebrows as he was amused by her expressions and chuckled: “Oh, then can I do this when there is no one?”
“Ah… no, I clearly didn’t mean that.” Mu Mingtang saw that there were more and more eyes peeking over, and hurriedly patted Xie Xuanchen’s arm, “Let go, many people are watching.”
Xie Xuanchen did not have a fear of being seen. He continued to grip Mu Mingtang’s waist, a sign to show that he wouldn’t let her go if she did not explain her words clearly.
As Xie Xuanchen wrapped his hand around Mu Mingtang’s waist, he realised how slenderly thin her waist was under those clothes, and finally understood why others would talk about women’s waists being soft and thin. Indeed, Mu Mingtang’s waist was soft and boneless.
As Mu Mingtang’s waist was tightly held by Xie Xuanchen, she uncontrollably fell towards him, and accidentally leaned on Xie Xuanchen’s chest.
Feeling the st.u.r.dy chest and strong heartbeat of a man from so close, her heart skipped a beat as she lay motionless in Xie Xuanchen’s embrace for a while, but she soon came back to herself and wanted to create some distance between them, but failed. So, in the end, she could only support her body by holding Xie Xuanchen’s arm with one hand and his chest with the other.
Mu Mingtang understood that Xie Xuanchen was bound to be stubborn today and wouldn’t give in unless she provided him with a proper answer. Helpless, she could only say, “The words I said earlier were all fake and they were just to deceive the pa.s.ser-by. What are you being so serious about?”
“I need to be serious.” Xie Xuanchen’s voice sounded grave.
Even though Xie Xuanchen knew that Mu Mingtang was putting on an act, he took this chance for his personal gain. He was enjoying the novel sensation of the soft and slender waist in his arms as he embraced his wife. He continued with confidence, “You also said this won’t last long? What do you mean this won’t last long?”
“I’m just acting.” Mu Mingtang felt speechless. “I also said that I am your sister-in-law, so you can’t touch me. Why do you only listen to what you wanted to hear and ignore my other words?”
“Oh.. want to be my sister-in-law? I’m afraid I can’t fulfil your wish. My only brother died when he was six years old, so even if there is a baby-kiss between you and my brother, it should eventually come to me.” Xie Xuanchen replied as he pinched Mu Mingtang’s nose.
‘How can you say that this won’t last long, just like that? As long as I want to be with you, no one will dare to stop me.’ Xie Xuanchen was very confident about his feelings.
“Wh..at nonsense are you talking about? What baby-kiss… what will others think… If some old scholars heard such words, they would drown you in their scolding.” Mu Mingtang was both annoyed and ashamed at the same time.
“Others? What about you?” Xie Xuanchen didn’t intend to back down.
Mu Mingtang was at a loss for words, and for a moment she didn’t get what he meant. But when she got the hidden meaning behind his words, she pretended to be angry: “Me… why you… I will hit you.”
Looking at Mu Mingtang with displeasure, Xie Xuanchen slowly released his hand, but it was clear from the look on his face that he was still not satisfied with her answers.
As soon as she was released from the death grip, Mu Mingtang hurriedly took three steps back and created a safe distance between the two.
Only then did she sighed in relief, but when she saw many people were staring at them, she felt so ashamed that she immediately covered her face with her veil and ran into the crowd.
