Chapter 34 The designs (2)
Chen Hui hasn’t gone out since that day and Li Youde also hasn’t returned. As for Rely Bamboo Pavilion, Chen Hui didn’t know if it was because what she had said that time worked or if it was because of Li Youde’s absence that Jiang Bihan didn’t want to waste energy. These few days had been very quiet. She heard that Jiang Bihan went out once during this time. It was much easier for her to go out than Chen Hui and there was no need to appoint someone to accompany her. The two didn’t meet and Chen Hui was a lot more relieved.
On the fourth night, when Chen Hui thought that she would be able to obtain a client and get the client’s praise tomorrow, she was so excited that she couldn’t sleep. As for the probability that the customer would be dissatisfied, she didn’t consider that. Her clothes were so beautifully designed, no one with a normal esthetic view would say it is bad. How could Commandery Princess Shuning dislike it?
Chen Hui was a bit excited for a while. She couldn’t sleep and also didn’t force herself to sleep. She lay on the bed and thought about drafting a new design. Her working posture has always not been good. Naturally, it wasn’t so easy to change. Only when she used her own posture to draft would her inspiration be abundant. Hence, she let Xiao Tiao go find a board to put on the bed and be used as a drawing board. The brush she used was thin and hard. It was originally suited to write small calligraphy. Now, it was convenient for her to used it to sketch.
Xiao Tiao sat at a side to do needlework. From time to time, she would glance at Chen Hui who was lying on her stomach on the bed and who had her delicate lower legs raised. She felt that Lady Chen’s drawing style was a bit different from others. It looked very simple, but when the clothes had been made, they were unusually beautiful.
Chen Hui drew the new clothes that came out in her mind and couldn’t help from rubbing her chest. The original’s chest was well-developed. She was worried that they would droop quickly under the pull of the gravity in the future. Anyway, no one could see inside the clothes. She decided to make two bras to fasten her chest. Of course, this could only be produced and sold to herself. She didn’t dare to display it, let alone sell it. If she did that, she was very likely to be scolded by people with slanderous names. She didn’t want to take this kind of risk.
Chen Hui couldn’t calm her mind down. She had inquired and got to know that Li Youde would come back the day after tomorrow. The servants of Chrysanthemum Yard wouldn’t come into her room. So, she didn’t have to worry about anything.
After thinking for a while, Chen Hui still asked Xiao Tiao to close the door. Only after that did she begin to design the bra she wanted.
The candle slowly burned down. Xiao Tiao got up and saw that the water on the table was almost finished. She glanced once at Chen Hui who was very focused and didn’t disturb her. She took the kettle and went to open the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a pale-faced man standing in front of the door that originally should be empty, scaring her that she almost exclaimed. It wasn’t easy for her to suppress it. She stood tremblingly with fear to a side under the indication of the eyes. She looked worriedly at Chen Hui and hoped that she could discover the situation here.
However, concentrating on doing things was Chen Hui’s strength. When she concentrated on work, she didn’t even notice Xiao Tiao’s movements. It wasn’t until a hand took away what she was drawing that she suddenly regained her senses and looked up.
Li Youde stood at a side and held in his hand the design that she had been drawing.
The person who shouldn’t have appeared suddenly appeared. Chen Hui’s heartbeat quickened and she subconsciously pulled up her body to cover the other drafts she had already drawn. She stared nervously at Li Youde.
The one in his hand had been taken out temporarily by Chen Hui when she suddenly remembered that there was a place to be changed, but it was a piece of clothes that looked quite satisfactory.
Chen Hui forced her beating heart to slow down. Thanks to her luck, what Li Youde happened to see what just a normal draft. If he saw her seven or eight underwear drafts that she had drawn on a whim, then she can…no, stop, don’t think!
Li Youde lifted his eyes and controlled himself to not let his sight fell on Chen Hui’s exposed legs and said weirdly, “This is what you have been busying yourself with these days?”
Even though she was dissatisfied with Li Youde’s denial of her work, Chen Hui didn’t dare to contradict him. She only said docilely, “Yes, lord. This Lady Chen just drew them as amusement.”
Li Youde humphed once and reached out, “Let me take a look at the others.”
“Lord, these are unrefined things…,” Chen Hui didn’t move.
At this time, Li Youde realized that Chen Hui was in a half-lying position and was looking up at him. Her body looked stiff and her usual cleverness couldn’t be seen.
Originally, Li Youde didn’t have to look at the things she had drawn. However, seeing her like this, he became suspicious and frowned, “Bring it over!”
Chen Hui sat up slowly with a bitter expression. Suddenly, she grabbed the sheets of paper she had just drawn, jumped out of the bed and ran to the table. The few designs that she had drafted were not dry yet. They would be smudged if they were watered. Like that, Li Youde wouldn’t see what she was drawing. Afterward, she would insist that they were too ugly and that she didn’t want to show others. Li Youde couldn’t say anything, but if he had seen those…then it would be over!
Chen Hui ran to the table barefooted. When she saw that there was no kettle on the table, she was taken aback…The kettle was taken away by Xiao Tiao.
Chen Hui also reacted quickly. Since she couldn’t destroy them with water, she could only settle for the second-best; tear them. She just didn’t know how much she could tear and whether it could be pieced back together. Otherwise, she could just eat them?
When Chen Hui was holding the handful of paper with both hands and was about to tear them, Li Youde who had just reacted also rushed over, grabbed her hand and shouted angrily, “What are you doing?!”
Chen Hui twisted her body, avoided his hand and continued to try to tear the paper. Li Youde also seemed to have become entangled with her and pursued her closely. She also didn’t know whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, when the two were fighting, Li Youde impeded Chen Hui’s foot. She tripped and he and she fell one after another on the bed.
Chen Hui’s knee hung in the air on the bedside. The other parts of her body had been pressed down on the bed by the weight on her body. Both hands clenched the paper and placed it on the top of her head. Li Youde held her two hands with one hand to prevent her from tearing and stared angrily at Chen Hui, “Let go!”
Chen Hui didn’t utter a sound nor did she let go. She really couldn’t show him! She also wanted to be calm and undisturbed, but her drafts were not simple underwear. Even the human body was drawn. Although the draft was not detailed, one could still make out the curves of the body…
When Li Youde saw Chen Hui’s silent refusal, he suddenly felt angry. Today, he has to see them!
“Lady Chen, are you letting go or not?” He sneered.
Chen Hui pleaded with a bitter face, “Lord, it is really nothing important. So, don’t look at it…”
Li Youde sneered, “Not something important, is it worth for you to fight so hard?”
Chen Hui really couldn’t explain and just whispered, “It, it is just something for women…”
Li Youde didn’t believe that Chen Hui would fight so hard for something for women’. If she had this courage before, presumably, she wouldn’t have survived until now.
“You won’t let go?” Li Youde smiled gloomily.
Before Chen Hui could think about it, Li Youde’s free hand suddenly pulled at her skirt, revealing a small half of her belly.
Chen Hui screamed and immediately admitted defeat, “Lord, I will let go!”
Li Youde felt Chen Hui’s hand. Without letting her go and in this posture, he spread the papers in Chen Hui’s hand and looked at them one by one. Seeing that his expression became very weird, he chuckled for a while and his voice was very uncanny, “Oh, Lady Chen knows how to draw erotic pictures.”
Chen Hui, “…” Damn your erotic pictures. Your whole family draws erotic pictures!
