Chapter 76 Xin Qing! Marry Me (2/2)
Hesitantly, Xin Qing took out her phone and showed Ying Qingcang the date on the lock screen. Ying Qingcang glanced at the screen once before he smiled. ”Oh, so you're hungry!”
”Who says I'm hungry?”Xin Qing blushed. She glared at him. ”Stop making things up.”
Indeed, tonight was the night of the full moon. But considering the circumstances...
”Even if you want to, we can't. Your body has just recovered. Also, let's not forget that you're pregnant.” Ying Qingcang teased. Xin Qing gave him a shove. ”Who do you think this is for, huh? You, you... if you don't want it, fine. Forget it.”
Seeing her outburst, Ying Qingcang pulled her to him and began coaxing. ”Who says I don't want it?” He held Xin Qing's hand. Xin Qing struggled her hand free and leaped onto the bed. She crawled under the covers.
”Hu... hurry up and come here,” she said in a muffled tone. Ying Qingcang looked at her in surprise. ”This girl's for real?” he thought.
They had been sleeping on separate beds for the past few nights. In truth, Ying Qingcang had long since reached the limits of his self-control. But Xin Qing's body really was not in the right condition for sex, so all he had done was hug her while he slept.
Xin Qing leaned against him and buried her head against his chest. She said something in a small, muffled voice.
”Is this really okay?” Ying Qingcang was so afraid he would hurt her.
Xin Qing nodded. ”Or else I won't be able to be at ease. Uncle Ying had especially reminded me before we returned from England. He said we must follow the ancestral behest.”
”Ignore him,” Ying Qingcang said, his face darkening. ”Your body isn't in the right condition.”
”You can't get it up any more?” Xin Qing remarked daringly when she saw Ying Qingcang's blank look.
Ying Qingcang glared at her before baring his teeth. ”Oh, you'll find out in a second!”
Xin Qing paid the price for her words indeed. She slept all the way until noon. During inspection, the doctor noticed the hickeys on her arm. Ying Qingcang was immediately dragged out of the room for a lecture.
Ying Qingcang followed the doctor out nonchalantly. ”No sh*t. Of course I know how to be gentle,” he thought. Last night, his 'junior' had only made half an entrance. ”Then again, the feeling's not too bad!” he mused. After reliving the experience, he decided that he could try more of that in the future.
Xin Qing regretted her decision greatly. His 'methods' had failed to satisfy her. In fact, it felt entirely horrible to be brought only halfway to her release without going up any further. In the end, Ying Qingcang had taken mercy on her after hearing her desperate moans. He had pleasured her with his mouth and hands. She had been glaring at him ever since she woke up at noon.
”Stop glaring. When you've recovered, I'll make you feel good!”
Xin Qing was having lunch. ”Shut up,” she said, throwing the spoon at him.
”Okay. Okay. Eat slowly. I'll shut up.” Ying Qingcang paused in thought. ”You'll be released from the hospital tomorrow.”
All of a sudden, the piece of fish she had been swallowing got stuck in her throat. She looked at Ying Qingcang in panic. ”I, I haven't decided yet.”
”It's okay. You don't have to rush. Just take your time.” Ying Qingcang had said the same thing again. Xin Qing lowered her head and went back to her rice. She did not have the courage to look at him. Ying Qingcang knew what she was thinking all along, but he chose to keep quiet. The following morning, the doctor gave Xin Qing a full-body examination. After that, they were allowed to go home. Ah Che rushed to open the car door the moment he saw Xin Qing. While she was entering the car, her movement paused for a brief moment. She grinned at Ah Che.
”Ah Che! Thank you! If it weren't because of the lead you'd found, Ying Qingcang would never have found me.”
Ah Che's lips moved slightly without forming any words. He covered the car's roof with his hand to prevent Xin Qing from knocking her head against metal. Xin Qing patted his shoulder and climbed into the car. Aunt Tian had prepared a feast to celebrate Xin Qing's return from the hospital. Xin Qing discovered a huge wooden kennel for Le Le in the backyard.
When Young Master Shen came by for the feast, he told her, ”These are all top quality pet accessories. Right now, Le Le is living a life of luxury.”
Le Le had played a huge role in Xin Qing's rescue. Ying Qingcang had even accepted the homosexual chihuahua that Le Le was infatuated with. Right now, those two little guys were leading a life of comfort in the backyard. Le Le had nearly wagged its tail off when it saw Xin Qing.
Xin Qing had no idea what came over Young Master Shen during dinner when he started speaking to her secretively. ”Tomorrow, a stylist will drop by to doll you up. Don't go out during the afternoon, okay!”
”Why do I have to get dolled up?”
”Because we'll be attending a party tomorrow.” Young Master Shen shot a glance at Ying Qingcang.
”Is it appropriate for me to be present at your corporate parties?” she asked, feeling strange.
”There's nothing inappropriate at all,” Ying Qingcang said with a straight face, placing a piece of pork ribs on her bowl.
Xin Qing nodded. ”Okay then. I just hope you two won't blame me for getting in your way when the time comes.”
The following night, Ying Qingcang did not come back to fetch her. Ah Che was tasked to bring her to the party. Xin Qing felt a little disappointed. The stylist had done a fantastic job. Her white silk dress flowed to her ankles. The round neck of the dress was ornamented with diamonds, which were gold in color. The best thing about the ornaments was that they had been among the random designs that she had sketched during her free time. She did not have her hair up. Instead, she wore a loose ponytail, which flowed down the curve of her back. When Xin Qing looked into her own reflection in the mirror, she could not deny her own beauty. She was looking forward to seeing the look on Ying Qingcang's face when he saw her.
The car did not enter the urban area. Instead, it was heading for the beach. The entire beach was surrounded in darkness when they arrived. Xin Qing stared into the darkness for a while. She did not have the courage to get down.
”Ah Che, what's this place?”
