Chapter 1164: Why Are You Following Me?
"Why are you following me?" Di Jinxuan’s face turned red as she tried to close the door.
Nangong Jin caught the door with a hand just in time, placing it in the crack as he said with a smile brimming with mischief, "I came to see my wife. What’s the matter, are you shy?"
The mention of it only made Di Jinxuan’s face burn even redder, and she couldn’t help but recall previous scenes in her mind, feeling rather uncomfortable. So she said, "No, I’m not."
As she continued to try and shut the door forcefully, Nangong Jin howled, "Wife, my hand, my hand, ahh, it’s caught, it hurts so much."
Hearing his wailing and seeing that his hand indeed appeared to be caught in the door jamb, Di Jinxuan ultimately couldn’t bring herself to continue, and had to give up on closing the door.
Nangong Jin took the opportunity to slip inside, covering his hand, with a face full of aggrieved innocence, "Wife, it really hurts."
His expression seemed genuine, and Di Jinxuan’s heart skipped a beat. She bit her lip, eyeing him warily and finally asked, "Is it really caught?"
"Of course, look it’s all red." Nangong Jin held his hand out to her.
Just as Di Jinxuan was about to take a serious look, he quickly grabbed her hand, pulling her into his embrace and said with a mischievous grin, "Silly, I’m not so easily hurt."
"You..." Di Jinxuan’s face flushed.
Nangong Jin looked at her, as if moved, and couldn’t help but say, "Wife, you’re really great. You actually care a lot about your husband, don’t you?"
For some reason, a surge of excitement and emotion welled up inside him; he thought he might truly be very fond of her now.
Fond of every one of her expressions.
"You lied to me again!" Di Jinxuan pounded his chest, seemingly angry, "Let go, you promised you’d never lie to me."
"I..." Nangong Jin wrapped his arms around her struggling form and finally sighed, "Husband didn’t lie to you."
Di Jinxuan frowned and glared at him, spreading her hands out, "Give me your hand, let me see."
"It doesn’t hurt anymore." Nangong Jin started to smirk again, "Wife, I knew you talk tough but have a soft heart..."
"Give me your hand." Di Jinxuan looked at him sideways, determined not to let him get away with anything today.
"Let me see your neck." Nangong Jin tried to change the subject.
"Give it here." Di Jinxuan wasn’t going to fall for his tricks, holding out her hands and staring at him sternly, "I won’t talk to you if you don’t let me see. I’m counting to three, one, two..."
"Alright, alright." Nangong Jin handed his right hand over to her, "Look then, look, how silly, what’s there to see?"
Di Jinxuan paused, not quite expecting that he truly did get his finger caught, and rather severely at that.
The base of his finger was red, skin broken, with a faint hint of bruising visible.
For some reason, her heart ached, filled with remorse and sadness.
Was this how he always laughed off his injuries?
And Di Jinxuan’s eyes began to redden, subtly.
Seeing Di Jinxuan’s expression, Nangong Jin became anxious, "What’s wrong, wife? Husband didn’t lie to you, these things are no big deal..."
"Then what do you think is a big deal?" Di Jinxuan interrupted him, her beautiful eyes glaring at him.
Er, Nangong Jin thought for a moment and said quite seriously, "Sleeping with you is of more urgent concern."
Di Jinxuan, unable to contain her irritation, exploded, "Nangong Jin, can’t you be serious for once? Are you an idiot? I was clearly closing the door; why would you put your hand there?"
"How stupid can you get, or do you think you’re invincible?"
