Chapter 61: The Plan Begins
Li Hanyan opened her drowsy eyes and looked at the person sleeping soundly in her arms. She smiled, her eyes crinkling. She seemed to have really gotten Liu Chuxia. It was truly like a dream.
When Liu Chuxia woke up, she saw the person smiling foolishly. But thinking of last night, she blushed and hid in her embrace.
“A Xia, so you can be shy too?” Li Hanyan teased.
Liu Chuxia lightly patted her waist. “Don’t you dare talk about me. Who was it that was too shy to continue yesterday? It was only after I pleaded and persuaded that you agreed.”
Li Hanyan smiled and grabbed the hand on her waist. “It was me who was shy, me who was a coward. A Xia, can you look at me? I really want to see you right now.”
Liu Chuxia slowly lifted her head and saw the foolishly smiling Li Hanyan. “You’re smiling so silly.”
“What’s wrong with smiling silly after having my first time with my wife? I always thought I would never have this day. Being with you was truly a luxury. After all, there were still many people who didn’t accept same-sex couples back then. I was really afraid of losing you. I was afraid you would find out about my little thoughts, and then you would ignore me, or even despise me. A Xia, it’s so good that you’re willing to be with me. I love you.” Li Hanyan showed a satisfied expression and gently placed a kiss on Liu Chuxia’s forehead.
Liu Chuxia stroked her cheek. “I love you too. I understand how you feel. If I were in your shoes, I would also be afraid of losing you, afraid that you would never talk to me again. But we’re together now, so let’s not think about that anymore. Let’s go and beat up that Xiao Shuming with Jiajia and the others later.”
Li Hanyan nodded and got up first. Because they were too tired from yesterday, they had both slept naked. Liu Chuxia looked at the perfect muscle lines and really wanted to touch them, but thinking that she was also naked, she didn’t mess around. Even though they had been honest with each other, she was still a little shy.
The moment Li Hanyan got up, she realized she was naked. But thinking that the person behind her was her wife, what was there to see? She endured her shyness, went to the wardrobe, found some clothes, and put them on.
Liu Chuxia, on the other hand, watched from behind with a lecherous expression, almost drooling.
After Li Hanyan had dressed, she found a set of clothes for Liu Chuxia. When she turned around, she saw the person smiling foolishly at her. She shook her head, endured her shyness, and dotingly placed the clothes beside her.
“I’m going to wash up. It’s already 9:40. Don’t keep them waiting,” Li Hanyan’s voice involuntarily softened as she spoke softly.
Liu Chuxia nodded with a broad smile. Seeing her go to the bathroom, she got up and put on her clothes, then went in to wash up with her.
When the two of them went down to the first floor, the two humans and two ghosts were already waiting.
“Sister, you two are so slow,” Xiao Xu complained, looking at them.
Jiang Jiajia, on the other hand, looked at the uncovered marks on Liu Chuxia’s neck and the way she walked and knew what had happened. She said with a smile, “Congratulations, you two have successfully taken another step. Can you handle it, Chuxia? You don’t seem to be walking very smoothly.”
Hearing what Jiang Jiajia said, how could the other humans and ghosts not know what had happened? Except for Xiao Nian, who smiled a little more reservedly, the two ghosts were both smiling very mischievously.
This made Liu Chuxia’s shyness, which she had just managed to put away, come back again.
Li Hanyan held her and comforted her for a while, then turned to them fiercely and said, “What are you laughing at? Let’s go. If we don’t go now, we’ll be late.”
Jiang Jiajia made a face, took Xiao Nian’s hand, and went out first. Xiao Xu and Ke Yan were still whispering to each other on the side, giggling secretly.
“It’s fine, A Xia. You know what they’re like. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Jiajia said you’re not walking right. I’m sorry, I didn’t notice,” Li Hanyan said in a gentle voice, supporting her waist as they walked.
Liu Chuxia shook her head and said, “It’s fine. The pants you gave me are a little tight. It’s not that.” With that, she shyly wanted to bury her face in Li Hanyan’s embrace again.
And she did just that after getting into the car.
Jiang Jiajia looked back at her and said with a smile, “Still shy? With such thin skin, aren’t you afraid of being completely dominated by Hanyan?”
Hearing her say this, Liu Chuxia looked up at her. “Is there anything wrong with that?”
Jiang Jiajia was taken aback by this answer and then burst out laughing. “You’ll understand in the future.”
When they arrived at the restaurant, Liu Chuxia looked up at the magnificent building and exclaimed, “Jiajia, your family is really willing to spend money.”
Jiang Jiajia, who was leading the way, heard her and turned back to say, “This is nothing compared to your Liu family.”
“Is that so? Then I really have to go and see. Hanyan, can you take me to see it someday?” Liu Chuxia said, linking her arm with Li Hanyan’s.
Li Hanyan nodded and agreed.
The group entered a private room, and only then did they let Xiao Xu and Ke Yan out.
“Phew~ I was about to suffocate,” Xiao Xu said, leaning on Ke Yan’s shoulder, a little weak.
Just then, a waiter knocked on the door. Jiang Jiajia didn’t let her in and just ordered from outside.
By the time all the dishes were served, Xiao Shuming had finally arrived late. He was a little dumbfounded when he entered the private room and saw so many people. He had thought it would be a private world for him and Jiang Jiajia.
“Jiajia, what’s this?” Xiao Shuming’s face was clearly unhappy. Why didn’t she tell him in advance that there would be others?
“We’re eating, aren’t we? And catching up with you. And I’m introducing you to my friends,” Jiang Jiajia said, half-truthfully, sitting next to Xiao Nian.
The moment Xiao Nian saw him, her whole body went cold, her eyes filled with anger.
Jiang Jiajia held her hand and comforted her in a low voice, which made her feel a little better.
Liu Chuxia glanced at Xiao Nian, said nothing, then looked at Xiao Shuming and said, “You’re the second young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Shuming? Hello, I’m the heir of the Liu family, Liu Chuxia.” After speaking, she didn’t get up or prepare to shake his hand. She just simply introduced herself and used her status to put some pressure on him.
Xiao Shuming turned to look at her, his eyes filled with amazement. This cute yet mature woman really hit the spot for him. And she was even the new heir of the Liu family. He immediately had a plan in mind. He secretly glanced at Jiang Jiajia and, seeing that she wasn’t looking at him, strode over to Liu Chuxia’s side.
He said fawningly, “So it’s the heir of the Liu family. Forgive my disrespect. Hahaha, then I’ll punish myself with three cups first.”
Liu Chuxia quickly interrupted him, “We’re not drinking today, thank you.”
Xiao Shuming was stunned for a moment, then said with a grin, “Then I’ll use tea instead of wine and punish myself with three cups.” With that, he poured himself three cups of tea and drank them all in one go.
After drinking, he looked at Liu Chuxia, wanting her to show some reaction. But Liu Chuxia didn’t take the bait at all. What reaction? Liu Chuxia said she didn’t understand.
“Why are you so insistent on punishing yourself with three cups? I don’t quite understand your action,” Liu Chuxia said, chewing her food and looking at him in confusion.
Xiao Shuming felt extremely awkward for a moment but still explained, “I was late, and I didn’t expect you to be here too.”
“Oh, so you know you’re late. I thought you couldn’t even tell the time. Besides, you shouldn’t just be punishing yourself with three cups for me, right? There are so many other people here. You’re not blind, are you?” Liu Chuxia said as she ate.
No one had invited him to the table to eat. They just watched him stand there.
Xiao Shuming was sweating profusely at her words. Seeing that everyone else had started eating and hadn’t called him, he was a little angry again. But with an ancestor like Liu Chuxia here, how could he dare to act out? He could only punish himself with three cups for each of them. Then he was full from drinking water and couldn’t eat anymore.
