Chapter 469: Nightclothes (2) (1/2)

He Changdi was a good man who listened to his wife, so he endured his urge to laugh and wiped any semblance of a smile off his face. He reinstated his usual cold, indifferent expression. Coupled with the depths of his eyes, he looked rather fearsome now.

Chu Lian felt dejected upon seeing how ‘dignified’ he looked. His current demeanour made her even more nervous and embarrassed.

Her face was stiff as the corner of her mouth tugged downwards. “It’s better if you laugh instead.”

The hapless He Sanlang let her go and pulled her to the table by the hand. He checked the teapot there only to find out that the water inside had already turned cold.

Thus, he sat Chu Lian down by the table before walking off to the outer room, where he ordered Wenqing to bring in her usual honey water.

By the time He Changdi returned to the bedroom, Chu Lian was already gone…

He Changdi’s cold countenance cracked and he snorted. He shook his head with affection and helplessness.

She was usually so capable, yet when push came to shove, she was actually a scaredy cat.

However, what he had tonight was time.

With this mindset, He Changdi walked out of the bedroom and ‘kindly’ instructed Wenqing and Xiyan to wait upon Chu Lian.

Chu Lian had been hiding in the bathroom. When she heard the footsteps of He Changdi leaving, she patted her chest in relief.

Although this was the outcome she wanted, when He Changdi had actually left, there was an inexplicable feeling of disappointment in her heart.

Before Chu Lian could return to her senses, Wenqing and Xiyan had already entered with something in their hands for her.

“Third Young Madam, this is honey water at the perfect temperature for drinking right now.”

With a smile, Xiyan placed the cup in Chu Lian’s hands.
