Marry Me Quick

Chapter 751 Let's Put It Into Practice Now

An Xia ignored Shu Yanian and ran toward Bai Jingshu.

Bai Jingshu appeared out of breath as well. It suggested that he was in a rush looking for her.

He held An Xia's arm and asked, "Didn't I tell you to wait for me in the living room? Why did you follow her out?"

Shu Yanian, who caught up from behind, happened to hear Bai Jingshu's words.

She stood about a yard away, and her figure appeared pitiful as she was against the light under the dark sky.

But, An Xia broke free from Bai Jingshu's hand, turned around, and walked toward Shu Yanian following that. She took her hand and said in a cheerful tone, "Yanian was worried that I might feel uncomfortable

in the living room, so she asked me out for a walk. I didn't want to refuse her kindness, so I decided to accompany her. Isn't that right, Yanian?"

Her repeated use of "Yanian" made both of them uncomfortable at that instant.

Bai Jingshu was relieved even though he felt uneasy at first.

"Alright, let's go back. It's getting late," Bai Jingshu said, and he walked over to An Xia before pulling her back to the villa.

An Xia turned her head to look at Shu Yanian as she was being led by him. "Hey, why are you leaving your sister-in-law behind?"

Bai Jingshu placed his hand on her head, preventing her from turning back, and he answered coldly, "Don't worry. She's used to the cold in Jingcheng City."

An Xia couldn't help but smile when she heard his words.

Jingcheng City was in the north. It was already late autumn and the weather was becoming colder.

On the other hand, Yunzhou City was in the south, and An Xia was used to living in the south. Naturally, Bai Jingshu was worried that she might not adapt well to the colder climate.

However, what truly made her happy was Bai Jingshu wanted absolutely nothing to do with other women. He was decisive in not involving himself in ambiguous relationships with them.

Any doubts that she might have about Bai Jingshu's relationship with Shu Yanian earlier were instantly cleared at that point.

She realized that she could trust her own judgment and Bai Jingshu after being together for nearly three years.

Only Bai Yeqi was in the living room when they returned to the Bai Residence.

The lights in the living room mainly had been turned off. Only a dim lamp was still on. Bai Yeqi was seen lowering his head and his face couldn't be clearly seen.

Bai Jingshu brought An Xia inside, and he didn't even bother to look at Bai Yeqi as they went straight upstairs.

Bai Yeqi greeted when he noticed their return, "Back already?"

Bai Jingshu paused his steps briefly, and he replied nonchalantly, "Yes."

Then, Bai Yeqi said slowly with an inexplicable hint of provocation, "It's dry and chilly in the nights at Jingcheng City. You should take care of yourself, Miss An."

An Xia clearly felt Bai Jingshu's body become tense at that instant.

He shouted after gritting his teeth, "Bai Yeqi!"

"Jingshu is easily agitated lately. I'll have Aunt Liu make some soup to cool you off tomorrow," Bai Yeqi said just as Shu Yanian entered the living room.

"Goodnight," Bai Yeqi added before walking toward Shu Yanian. Then, he said gently, "You're back, my dear wife."

An Xia felt discomfort as Bai Jingshu tightened his grip on her hand at that instant.

But, she didn't tell him to let go of her. She silently followed him back to their room instead.

Bai Jingshu fumbled in his pocket and found a cigarette when they were inside their room. However, he looked at An Xia and asked instead of taking it out, "Why don't you go take a shower first?"

An Xia only stood before him, holding her hand that was still painful with faint red marks.

He looked at An Xia, who gazed at him with a calm expression. Bai Jingshu felt as if she was silently interrogating him even though she didn't say a word with that look on her face.

Why did Bai Jingshu react so strongly to Bai Yeqi's words?

Why did he lose control when Shu Yanian entered the room? He even squeezed her hand so tightly that she felt like her bones would be crushed. How could he not notice it?

He had always been a considerate lover to An Xia. He would never vent his frustration on her even in anger. Perhaps it was his family who taught him not to treat women harshly no matter the circumstances.

Bai Jingshu's face was tense as he struggled to find the right words.

An Xia was usually approachable. But, she could also be cunning and make things hard for him.

Bai Jingshu raked his fingers through his hair out of frustration. "There's nothing between me and Shu Yanian. You just stay away from Bai Yeqi!"

"Right." An Xia withdrew her hand as she responded indifferently.

She no longer trusted him.

There was no way nothing was going on between them.

"Come on, does it still hurt? Let me massage it for you." Then, Bai Jingshu pulled her hand over and pretended to blow air on it. He looked at An Xia, who still didn't crack a smile, and he said, "Are you not happy yet? Try hitting me. Let's see if that makes you feel better."

An Xia didn't hold back, and she gave the back of his hand a good twist.

Bai Jingshu instantly moaned in pain, but he didn't retract his hand.

Why did she always do that? He would be fine if she only hit him.

An Xia headed into the bathroom after letting go of his hand.

Bai Jingshu touched his hand for a moment before taking out a cigarette. Then, he walked over to the window and lit the cigarette as he leaned against the window.

Smoke came out from between his lips and spread to the surrounding, obscuring his face. But, it was still unable to conceal his charm.

He restrained himself and only smoked one cigarette. He closed the window and returned to the room once the smoke had dispersed.

An Xia came out of the bathroom shortly after.

Her fair and delicate face had turned pink because of the steam. A few strands of her hair were dampened and stuck to her face. She wore fluffy pajamas with a cartoon pattern after taking a shower.

She looked refreshed and delighted.

Bai Jingshu adjusted his collar and said to An Xia, "Come here."

An Xia walked over and sat down. She asked as she narrowed her eyes, "Be honest, how many cigarettes did you smoke today, Bai Jingshu?"

Bai Jingshu's body stiffened, and he immediately held up one finger. He firmly answered, "Just one!"

An Xia only raised an eyebrow as she gave him a doubting look.

Bai Jingshu promptly pulled her into his arms, kissing her on the lips, and he showed a satisfied expression before asking, "Do you have a dog's nose or something? How could you smell it when I only smoked one?"

An Xia toyed with the buttons on his collar and pouted. "It's not just that. I know exactly what you are thinking with just a twitch on your brow."

"..." Bai Jingshu couldn't help but feel speechless.

He bit An Xia's earlobe without applying force. Then, he whispered softly in her ear, "I never twitch my brow when I'm thinking ordinary things. I only twitch my brow when I'm thinking about doing that from behind you."

An Xia's face abruptly turned red.

Bai Jingshu picked her up and tossed her onto the bed before she could react. He said with his dark gaze, "Come on, let's put it into practice now."

An Xia blushed, but she quickly kicked him off the bed with one foot. "No!"

Bai Jingshu sat on the floor and started acting mischievously. "Don't be like this, Xia. The floor is cold."

However, An Xia stood her ground firmly and shouted, "Get lost!"
