Beware the Appearing Cute Wife!

Chapter 1239 - 1381-1382: Too Skinny

Chu Mucheng laughed, his eyes shimmering with light.

"You’ve been staring at me for so long, what is it, infatuated?"

Tao Zhixiang was stunned.

Chu Mucheng...

"Stunned? Or did you suddenly turn into a little mute? Can’t speak?"

Tao Zhixiang quickly shook her head.

"No!"

She just didn’t expect that after waking up, Chu Mucheng would still talk to her in such a tone, unlike before when he always wore a cold face.

Once, Chu Mucheng said, do I have to report to you whenever I come by?

He said, don’t play the game of hard to get with me.

He said, until I get bored, you can only be my woman.

Those cold words still echoed in her ears.

She originally thought that after waking up, he would return to how he used to be, but... he didn’t.

It’s just, she still needed time... to get used to it!

There’s no telling when Chu Mucheng might revert to his old self.

So, Tao Zhixiang reminded herself to stay clear-headed and not to fall into it like last night.

Her love for Chu Mucheng now felt like being stuck in a dead-end, with no way out...

No matter how reluctant she was to admit it, it was a dead-end!

So, if she wanted to retreat unscathed in the end, then now, she could only guard her heart, not daring to harbor any hope.

Chu Mucheng saw the endurance and disappointment in her eyes, yet her expression also showed loneliness.

In that instant, an inexplicable pain gripped his heart, and he couldn’t help but sigh.

Extending his arm, Chu Mucheng pulled her into his embrace, then slowly tightened his hold.

Tao Zhixiang panicked.

This...

Under the covers, the two of them held each other, skin touching, and he was extremely nervous.

"Chu Mucheng..."

She wanted him to let go of her, after all, this made her feel really awkward.

"Hmm, what’s wrong?"

Chu Mucheng spoke softly.

"..."

Warmth spread in Tao Zhixiang’s heart; being held by him like this felt warm and made her feel reluctant to let go.

Strangely, one moment she wanted to push him away, but the next she couldn’t bear to.

Such a conflicted heart...

"If you have nothing to say, just let me hold you for a while... holding you like this feels comfortable!"

Chu Mucheng’s voice was faint.

Yet, his words caused a huge wave in Tao Zhixiang’s heart.

"Too skinny, eat more in the future."

Warmth again filled Tao Zhixiang’s heart.

This man, he was showing concern for her!

But then, Chu Mucheng threw in another line.

"Your chest isn’t big to begin with; if you get any skinnier, you’ll be flat as a board!"

The deep emotion that had risen in Tao Zhixiang’s heart instantly shattered into pieces upon hearing this sentence.

This guy...

Would it kill you to say something nice?

"Are you spending the New Year here?"

Chu Mucheng suddenly asked this question.

Tao Zhixiang paused for a moment and nodded.

"Hmm!"

Chu Mucheng let out a cold laugh.

Her family, they really are... something!

Tao Zhixiang didn’t say anything more. What else could she say?

She didn’t want to think about it anymore; thinking about it only added to her heartache.

Suddenly, she felt Chu Mucheng’s arm tighten around her.

"Last night I checked the fridge; it seemed like there wasn’t much in it!"

Tao Zhixiang was taken aback, what did he mean?

Chu Mucheng smiled gently.

"I’m not leaving today; I’ll keep you company! But, you need to make sure I’m well-fed and not starve!"
