Chapter 104 Fright
If she wasn't so familiar with Qin Chu's scent, she really might have attacked him .
"Let me go, Qin Chu . " She was somewhat nervous .
Qin Chu said nothing as he continued holding Huo Mian tightly in his arms . Then, he rested his head beside her ear, and breathed heavily . Huo Mian felt agitated, as the pungent scent of alcohol spread through the air .
Huo Mian slightly frowned .
"Were you drinking?" she asked .
Qin Chu still didn't say anything . After he finished drinking with Gao Ran, he came back home, took out a rare Château Lafite from the cabinet, and ended up drinking the entire bottle .
Habits were dangerous . . . he managed to survive the last seven years by himself . . .
But now that Huo Mian was around him, he couldn't even bear 24 hours alone .
He was already accustomed to having her around, so he wasn't able to stand even one second of loneliness .
"Let go of me first, Qin Chu . You're drunk . " Huo Mian couldn't move at all as he was hugging her too tightly .
"No," Qin Chu stubbornly said after a short silence .
"Qin Chu, what do you want?"
"What do you think I want?" Qin Chu pinched Huo Mian's chin as he closely stared at her profile .
All of a sudden, an intimate atmosphere filled the entire room .
Huo Mian bit her lips and didn't know how to respond .
Qin Chu couldn't suppress his desires, as he looked at Huo Mian, who was so close to him, while his other hand swept across her back .
He knew what he wanted .
She also knew what he wanted .
"Qin Chu, don't be like this . I'm… not ready yet . " Huo Mian weakly pushed him aside after she spoke .
Qin Chu's body staggered, and he fell onto the couch behind him .
"I'm sorry . " Huo Mian turned around, refusing to look into his eyes .
"Why would you apologize?" Qin Chu asked as he looked at her .
"I…" She didn't know how to respond .
"I should be the one to apologize . I'm sorry . I shouldn't do those things behind your back . I just didn't want you to be hurt," said Qin Chu as he turned his head away from her .
"No, you didn't do anything wrong . I didn't know better . You meant well, and I shouldn't have been so irrational . If you didn't help me, Zhixin's surgery wouldn't have been so successful, and I wouldn't have been able to pay off the bills . If you didn't help me, the perpetrator would never have faced justice . Qin Chu, you're truly too good for me . "
In fact, Huo Mian had already thought this whole thing through .
She knew that no matter what Qin Chu did, he always meant well . To an extent, she was the one who was being unreasonable for treating him that way .
"Do you really think so?" Qin Chu was somewhat surprised .
Huo Mian nodded…
She hesitated for a bit and then continued, "I know that we're already legally married, so some things are bound to happen . I'm not putting on a show, and I don't despise you, it's just that… I'm not ready yet . Please don't make it harder for me, okay?"
"So… you feel troubled by what I want to do?" Qin Chu's eyes filled with loneliness as he spoke .
Huo Mian didn't say anything . Instead, she bit her lips .
"Okay, I won't trouble you then . It's late and you should go to bed soon . Goodnight," said Qin Chu as he turned around to head upstairs .
Huo Mian knew that she had disappointed Qin Chu again .
She couldn't sleep at all that night .
Early next morning, Huo Mian woke up early to prepare breakfast . Shortly afterwards, she saw Qin Chu walking down the stairs .
He saw a steaming array of Chinese breakfast dishes on the table . There were fried eggs, cups of soy milk, and golden potato pancakes .
"Go on, eat . " Smiled Huo Mian .
Huo Mian was wearing a pink apron, while her hair was messy like a real housewife .
Qin Chu was still upset with her, and he originally wanted to say no, but when he saw how down-to-earth Huo Mian looked, he couldn't refuse at all . He had always dreamed of this scene in front of him .
He didn't say anything . Instead he sat before the breakfast table, held up the soybean milk, and took a sip .
"I bought the soybeans at the supermarket so I could freshly press the soymilk . It looks very concentrated, so I don't know if that's good or not . How is it? Does it taste okay?" asked Huo Mian carefully .
