Chapter 742: 742, she did it on purpose
Shi Yuhuan’s brows slightly raised, as he let out a sigh. Then, he stepped forward, scooping her up in his arms and carrying her towards the bathroom.
Hot water was already filling the bathtub, visibly steaming and spreading warmth throughout the room.
Shi Yuhuan placed Song Qinghuan down before preparing to leave the bathroom.
However, just as he was about to turn around, Song Qinghuan grabbed his hand, “Shi Yuhuan, let’s bathe together!”
Shi Yuhuan turned around, gently mussing her hair with his hand: “I’ve already bathed. Take your time; I’ll wait outside. Call me if you need anything.”
Song Qinghuan pouted but didn’t let go of his hand. Instead, she traced circles on his palm with her finger, “But, I want you to help me bathe?”
Upon hearing this, Shi Yuhuan’s gaze suddenly deepened, and his Adam’s apple unconsciously bobbed.
After a moment, he gently touched her face, whispering, “Don’t be too lazy, okay? The water’s going to get cold, you should hurry up.”
Having said this, he quickly left the bathroom.
Together? He wasn’t going to bathe with her, much less help her bathe now. She had just given birth, and her body hadn’t completely recovered. He couldn’t touch her yet.
However, lately, she seemed to be particularly keen on clinging onto him, completely disregarding the intimate temptations she was stirring up within him.
If he were to help her bathe now, he wasn’t sure if he could tolerate the sweet torment any longer.
Shi Yuhuan had tested the water’s temperature carefully. Song Qinghuan undressed and sat directly in the bathtub once the water was ready.
Surrounded by the warm water, Song Qinghuan sighed contentedly.
She had never realized that taking a bath could be such a blissful experience.
Song Qinghuan played with the water using her fingers, thinking of Shi Yuhuan’s appearance when he left. A playful smile spread across her face.
Teasing Shi Yuhuan like this was a lot of fun.
Her previous clinginess and her recent request for him to help her bathe were all deliberate.
She was teasing Shi Yuhuan as a form of punishment. For leaving her alone in Q City to bear and birth their child, and for the false news of his death which nearly broke her heart.
So now, she wanted to give him a small punishment – making him desire what he couldn’t have.
That night, fully refreshed, Song Qinghuan snuggled into Shi Yuhuan’s arms, hugging his waist tightly.
Shi Yuhuan kept his eyes closed tightly, emulating the even breaths of someone deep in sleep, all in an attempt to discourage Song Qinghuan from talking non-stop or endlessly squirming as she’d done the night before.
Last night, she, with her unwashed body and its slightly sour smell, didn’t tempt him in any excessive ways.
But tonight, with her freshly bathed scent and her seductive nightdress, just the sight of her stirred his desire to tear her nightdress off and have her lying there, naked beneath him.
But he couldn’t.
“Shi Yuhuan!” Song Qinghuan gently called his name.
Shi Yuhuan: “…”
“Fell asleep so soon?” Song Qinghuan’s voice sounded a bit sulky, her lips pouting. “I actually wanted to talk to you about something.” 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Shi Yuhuan, at this point, could hardly bear any hint of unhappiness in Song Qinghuan’s voice.
Still keeping his eyes closed, he gently replied, “What is it?”
“I wanted to tell you that you looked particularly handsome tonight when you carried me to the bathroom,” Song Qinghuan’s voice was soft, luring, as she continued to trace circles on his chest. “Such a pity you didn’t bathe me. It would’ve made you even more attractive. But then, when I asked you to help me bathe, were you perhaps thinking of something else, like…”
