Chapter 96 Relative (1)
Li Youde stood there without saying a word. He stared at Chen Hui, seemingly unable to understand what she said for a while.
Those words passed through his mind repeatedly and finally entered his consciousness. He remembered that she also said something like ‘like lord the most’ in the past. However, at that time they both knew that it was just a feelingless remark to please him. But at this moment, the like that she talked about now was not a joke.
However, what is the kind of like between a man and a woman? Could he be considered a man? That she said this, was it really not meant to stab him? What like and doesn’t like, that she was still able to say that.
Seeing that Li Youde did not react to what she said, Chen Hui was a bit disappointed, but more than that, she understood. It was really hard to make him believe that she really likes him. In this era, to say that a woman will really like a eunuch was a rare anecdote that couldn’t even be seen in a decade.
Since talking was not enough, she will make him see it through her actions.
Chen Hui untied her belt. Under Li Youde’s slightly startled gaze, she grabbed the fronts of both sides of her clothes and lifted them back, revealing her round and white shoulders and the pink undergarments with mandarin ducks playing in the water that she had carefully selected.
- Mandarin ducks playing in water symbolizes making love.
She looked fixedly at Li Youde and said, “If lord doesn’t believe me, I will show lord. I like lord and want to sleep with lord and do the things that Huang shi did with the scholar in the story of the Golden Hairpin.”
- Shi: Clan
Li Youde finally moved. He walked over quickly. When Chen Hui was looking at him in anticipation and nervousness, he grabbed the quilt and wrapped her tightly in it.
Chen Hui looked astonished at Li Youde who was within reach. Her hands were behind her back. She couldn’t struggle at all after being wrapped in the quilt.
Li Youde scolded with a cold face, “Do you know what kind of weather it is? Are you not afraid of freezing?!”
Chen Hui had thought that he would mock her and say that he didn’t believe her at all. She also thought that he might’ve asked her to do something to prove it…That was something that she wanted, but this? What is this?!
“Lord, did you hear what I have said just now?” Chen Hui was unreconciled and tried her best to pull back the topic.
Li Youde didn’t evade the question and replied calmly, “I heard it.”
Chen Hui looked at him, but she didn’t hear him continue. She couldn’t help from asking, “Lord, give me an answer!”
He took a deep breath and finally said, “What I said that day was nothing but words from anger. Since I said that I will let you be the mistress of Li residence, I won’t go back on my words.”
He regretted that he shouldn’t have used those words of anger to scare her that day. See how scared she is that she sacrificed so much to please him. Just the thought of how humiliated she felt right now, he felt like needles were piercing his heart. Why bother about it so much? He was actually very happy when she said that she likes him. He is happy even if it was a lie.
Chen Hui suddenly felt a rather powerless frustration in her heart.
How should she put this? It was as if she dug out her heart and showed it to him and he said lightly, “Your heart looks quite beautiful.” Who cares whether it is beautiful?! Instead, pay attention to this act of digging out her heart!
She felt so aggrieved. Chen Hui said annoyed, “Lord, that is not what I want!”
Li Youde turned his eyes to look at her and said, “Then, what do you want? If you want me to let you go, it is impossible for me to do that.”
“I want you, lord!” Chen looked back without showing weakness.
Li Youde was stunned for a moment. He looked away uncomfortably and said, “What are you saying?!” But after a moment, he looked at her and warned, “Get rid of all the bad ways that you learned from the Xi people. This is Great Liang after all. How can a decent woman be so outrageous?!”
Chen Hui pursed her lips and was about to cry. Could it be that she just should say, “Lord, I don’t care if you are a eunuch or not. Those two pounds of meat are not that important to me. Please believe me. You must not feel inferior and think that it is impossible for me to like a eunuch.”
Nine out of the ten times, he would think that she deliberately stabbed at his sore spot. It would be considered good if he just got angry. What if he came to hate her because of this and threw her back to Plum Yard? Then, she really would have nowhere to cry.
Calm down. She already said what she should say. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t believe her now. These words will become a seed and take root in his heart. Every interaction in the future will be like a sweet rain and dew. That root will inevitably grow into a big tree. By that time, he would not doubt her sincerity anymore.
“Understood, lord,” Chen Hui sighed. She put on a sweet smile again as if nothing had happened and said “Lord, then, please let me go. I won’t disturb your rest…Or, do I have to stay?”
“What stay?!” Li Youde immediately rejected her proposal, “With one more person by the side, I won’t be able to sleep.”
He let go of her and stepped back. The quilt slid down with a shake of Chen Hui’s shoulders. She slowly pulled her clothes up and crawled to the end of the bed to get the coat that she had hidden there. But she froze as soon as she lifted her hips.
