I married an exasperating eunuch Chapter 71 part 2

Chapter 71 Missed out (2)

She had made it clear before she got off the carriage. If he let her get into the carriage again, he had to answer her question, otherwise, she would get off once again. It was quite interesting to chat with that brother Lu.

After Li Youde couldn’t take it anymore and called Chen Hui back into the carriage did he remember what she said before she got off. It was too late now for regrets. So, he said coldly, “You really have to get an answer?”

Chen Hui said, “Yes, lord! This Lady Chen wants to know very much!”

Li Youde leaned back slightly and used the wall of the carriage to support most of his weight. He narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled sarcastically, “Lady Chen, are you overestimating yourself or underestimating me?”

Chen Hui blinked. She didn’t get more out of him and said, “Lord, don’t evade the subject.”

Li Youde choked and said coldly, “Didn’t I already answered you?”

“No, this Lady Chen just needs a direct answer. Like or don’t like,” Chen Hui didn’t let go.

Faced with Chen Hui’s clear and shiny eyes, Li Youde’s ‘don’t like’ was stuck in his throat and he couldn’t get it out. He felt that the moment he said that, her eyes that shone like stars in the sky of the night would dim instantly. And he didn’t want to see that.

It was just, the previous worries quickly rose to the surface when he saw that the smile on Chen Hui’s mouth became more and more vivid the longer he hesitated. He lowered his eyes and his voice became stern and mean, “Lady Chen, since you have to seek insult for yourself then I will tell you. I don’t like you. Are you satisfied now?”

Although, Chen Hui knew that she couldn’t take his words seriously, her heart still quivered at the moment that Li Youde said that he didn’t like her. She felt a bit wronged and sad, but another feeling of rejoicing also arose at the same time. He doesn’t like her, she doesn’t like him, wasn’t that just right?

Chen Hui knew that there was a type of misconception called ‘he likes me’ in this life. Her feeling might not be right, so, she decided to go with his answer. In case that he was not telling the truth…Then, he could only blame himself. She gave him such a good opportunity to confess to her, what else could she do more? If he answered her that he likes her, then she would’ve worked hard to overcome her psychological obstacles and let him know that even if he is not a real man and a cannon fodder eunuch, there are people still willing to like him.

But since he said that he doesn’t like her, as he said, she shouldn’t seek to insult herself…She could regard him as a friend silently in her heart and she would also fulfill her duty as a friend on this battlefield and not allow him to die.

Li Youde waited for a while but didn’t get Chen Hui’s response. He couldn’t help from looking up and happened to see Chen Hui also raise her head at about the same time and smiled at him, “I got it. Lord, I won’t ask any more in the future.”

Her overly calm words made Li Youde feel irritated, but he was at ease the next moment. She wanted to test him and he gave her a warning. She understood and promised to be obedient in the future…Wasn’t this what he wanted all along?!

Li Youde made an ‘mm’ sound and said, “It is good that you know.” He paused and felt that he should say something, but he didn’t know what to say. In the end, he just said, “Make less trouble in the future. You won’t lack anything.”

“I got it. Thank you, lord,” Chen Hui smiled at him again.

Seeing this sweet smile, Li Youde suddenly felt a bit oppressed, but he didn’t know why that was so. He could only blame it on the carriage for being too cramped.

Afterwards, the two were at peace with each other. When they were resting at noon, Chen Hui inadvertently looked for the figure of that brother Lu. Before she could find him, Li Youde frowned and asked, “What are you looking at?”

Chen Hui said, “I’m looking whether Qi Shengwen is nearby.”

Li Youde said, “He wouldn’t come here again in the following days,” Li Youde sneered when Chen Hui reminded him of the man, “When we get to the destination, he will be cleaned up when the opportunity presents!”

Chen Hui didn’t respond. When they get to the frontier, the war may be about to start. By then, there would be no chance to clean up Qi Shengwen.

It was a boring journey in the afternoon. Chen Hui couldn’t hold on and slept in the afternoon. When the carriage stopped, she looked outside and discovered that they were no longer on the road. Instead, they were in a large courtyard.

“This is an inn. We will rest here tonight,” Li Youde said.

Chen Hui’s eyes lit up. Did this mean that she has hot water for a bath?!

This was a small town. Even if only a privileged person like Li Youde came with his own people, the only inn in the town was fully packed. And Chen Hui, this personal eunuch, should naturally follow him into the same room.

When Chen Hui thought about the hope of a bath was dashed, she wanted to cry. She felt sticky all over and felt really uncomfortable.

When the servant Li Youde brought with him filled a tub of bathwater and Chen Hui was about to retreat with him, Li Youde said, “Lady Chen, take a bath first. I have something that I have to take care of first.”

Chen Hui was stunned and hurriedly smiled, “Thank you, lord!”

When Li Youde got out, Chen Hui quickly closed the door well and took a bath without a moment of hesitation. Not long after Chen Hui finished, Li Youde returned. He used the excuse that the water had turned cold to let the servant refill the tub again.

Chen Hui lay on the railing outside the room and chatted with Ah Da and Ah Er. She only went in after Li Youde has finished taking a bath and opened the door.

It was getting late. Chen Hui originally thought that she had to make her bed on the floor. Later, she discovered that this was the main room. There was a couch in the corner. It was good enough to sleep on.

In the dark, Chen Hui, who had slept the whole afternoon, wasn’t sleepy at first. Li Youde was far from her. She didn’t know whether he was asleep. After a while, she finally got some sleepiness. She didn’t know for how long she was in a daze like this when she suddenly has to go to the toilet. She could only get up in the dark.

There was a screen in a corner and there was a pot behind it. Chen Hui listened silently for a moment. After being certain that Li Youde was asleep did she walk to the corner. Now that no one accompanied her, she really didn’t dare to go to the toilet of the inn. Moreover, there was a shadow when she went to the toilet at Tanmen Temple last time. Even if she was embarrassed, she could only pee here.

After using the greatest restrain to make the smallest movement, Chen Hui was about to raise her pants when she felt a different warm current.

…It seemed that her irregular period has come. No wonder, her tummy felt uncomfortable today.

When she recalled that her menstruation belt was by the couch, Chen Hui could only let that thing flow a bit. When she felt that it wouldn’t flow for the time being, she put on her pants and went quietly to the couch. After she touched in the dark and found the thing, she softly and gently took it back to behind the screen.

Chen Hui touched in the dark to fix her menstrual affairs. Because this body always felt a bit numb when the period came, she couldn’t help but groan softly. It was just a fleeting groan and had been stifled by her. She finally got a sense of security after buckling up the menstruation belt. Only after that did Chen Hui move back quietly. She also didn’t know why, but she subconsciously glanced once in Li Youde’s direction. She suddenly saw a dark figure standing not far away from her, causing her to almost scream in fright.

Li Youde had woken up when Chen Hui went to do her business. When he was fully awake, she was already done. He could only hear some rustling sound. He was suspicious by nature. He saw a dark figure walking back and forth and feared that it was a thief. After he saw that that person went behind the screen, he got up and was about to light up a candle when he heard a faint gasp, followed by a short groan. He suddenly understood that this was Chen Hui’s voice and understood what she was doing. A bang sounded in his head and he froze there.
