Chapter 526: How Couples Should Communicate (1) (1/2)

Chu Lian gave him a sideways glance as if she hadn’t seen the look of complaint in his eyes. She picked up a brush from the rack and dipped it in the inkwell, seemingly intent on continuing her writing.

This time, He Sanlang caught hold of her wrist.

Chu Lian finally set aside the recipe in her hands. She looked up with furrowed brows as she asked, “What are you doing?”

He Sanlang’s handsome features were cast in a stiff expression and his lips were pressed together. He continued staring down at her with a shadowed gaze, as if hoping that Chu Lian would be able to read his thoughts from his eyes alone.

Chu Lian met his gaze with her own clear, innocent eyes. She could see the mix of frustration and petulance in his gaze, and she even understood where he was coming from. However, not everything could be conveyed by his eyes alone. As close as they were, there would likely come a time where she wouldn’t be able to read him with just one look.

Chu Lian shifted her gaze away as she stated with a cool tone, “He Changdi, if you have something you want to tell me, then speak. Otherwise, get out. Don’t disturb me.”

He Changdi’s pupils contracted. He obviously hadn’t expected such an order from Chu Lian. The grip he had around Chu Lian’s wrist tightened unconsciously.

When Chu Lian felt a sharp pain around her wrist, she struggled and tried to pull her hand away.

“He Sanlang, you’re hurting me!”

After He Changdi realised that her expression had even contorted from the pain, he quickly let go. A red mark in the shape of his grip stood out accusingly on her fair skin.

That red mark kept the words that He Sanlang had been about to speak in his throat. However, seeing how Chu Lian had turned her back to him in a fit of pique while rubbing her wrist, the anger that he had just suppressed flared back up again.
