The Little Beauty in the Courtyard

Chapter 31-40

　　Chapter 31: A Ruthless Man

　　Lin Xi looked at Liang Zhaocheng in confusion, but after their eyes met for a while, he looked at her steadily and then turned his eyes away slightly.

　　Then Lin Xi noticed that his ears were suspiciously red.

　　She said it was suspicious because he was dark and she wasn't sure.

　　But her heart still suddenly moved, remembering how he would stiffen for a moment every time she put her arm around his arm... Was he talking about this?

　　Thinking of this, she remembered the strong and hot touch of his arm, and a tingling sensation suddenly surged in her heart.

　　With evil intentions, she reached out and grabbed his hand, then looked up at him and said, "Is that it? But didn't you always say that I was your wife? I'm your wife, so what's wrong with me holding your arm?"

　　Liang Zhaocheng: ...

　　He was really shocked by her.

　　He subconsciously wanted to pull his hand away, but Lin Xi did it on purpose. She held his hand tightly and smiled at him provocatively.

　　Her hand was soft and small, warm and a little cold. Although she used force, it was actually just like a kitten's claw. If he really wanted to pull it away, he could have done it. But he looked at her sly smile, her big eyes looking at him without blinking, her eyes sparkling, her little face pink, her little mouth slightly open, her lips rosy. Unlike his skin which was always rough and dry, her lips were moist, like flower petals, and the color of peaches, as if water would drip out if he bit them... He didn't pull his hand away again, but instead, he held her hand with his backhand, and covered her hand with his whole hand, and raised his other hand to rub her cheek...

　　Lin Xi felt a sharp pain on his face.

　　She saw his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and was startled. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest at that moment. She pulled her hand out of his hand suddenly, and then took two steps back in panic. Her face felt like it was burning and a little painful. It must be because he rubbed it.

　　he?

　　she?

　　"Hey, Xiaoxi, why is your face so red?"

　　When Aunt Wu came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, she saw Lin Xi standing by the table with an abnormally red face. She was startled and hurried over to touch her forehead. Lin Xi had not yet recovered from the chaos and was unable to move away for a while.

　　Aunt Wu was even more shocked when she touched it. She said, "Oh, it's so hot. Are you suffering from heatstroke? Drink some water and go back to the house to lie down. I'll make you some heat-relief tea."

　　Lin Xi didn't know how to explain, so she stammered, "It's okay, it's okay, maybe it's just too hot." But she was afraid that Aunt Wu would notice something, so she said, "Then I'll go upstairs and rest for a while," and turned around and went upstairs quickly.

　　Liang Zhaocheng had a sullen face at first, but when he saw her running upstairs without even looking at him, the corners of his mouth curled up.

　　He rubbed his thumb and index finger together, the smooth feeling on his hands was still there, and his heart trembled.

　　It seems a little out of control.

　　Aunt Wu muttered, "It was fine before, what happened? Oh, are you mad at the Yao family? Mr. Liang, I don't know who your friend is, but people are distant and close. No matter what his character is, it was Yao Qin's sister who put on all kinds of airs today to scare our Xiaoxi. You are engaged, and you come to your house to demonstrate. This is not a decent family. You can't let our Xiaoxi suffer any injustice."
