Chapter 32 - 32. Ice Empress... (2/2)

He had his eyes closed as he didn't want to face her but with her state of mind, the more he tries to hide, the angrier she gets.

”Qin ZiXuan, open your eyes”, she gritted out enunciating each word.

Her voice was overbearing and cold to the point of Absolute Zero, she was not asking him to do it, she was giving him a command.

It was really different from her usual doting nature, yes, she had spoiled him rotten but that never meant that she doesn't have a leash on him.

She usually lets go of many things that she won't, when others are involved, but that definitely doesn't include his well being!!

She had just used his full-name to call him and believe him, this only happens once a leap-year.

Though the matter is actually trivial but just because he is evading it and didn't tell her about it, she was getting angrier by the moment and he knew this... but still didn't want to face her.

His brain formed many simulations but the end result was always her going on a cold war with him and he hated that.

She would do everything like usual like making breakfast and helping him with the work but her eyes will be cold and she just won't talk no matter what!!

So, with no other choice, he decided to sell away his integrity and bearings and chose the 'meng' route.

It had the maximum chances of success.

So, he will go with it, though he is really really reluctant.

He usually sells 'meng' but that doesn't mean he likes doing it, some of them are his usual reactions but he rarely uses this card with full force.

He is trying to make her realise that he is grown up and no way in hell, acting cute helps ba...still some reactions like his pouting and stuff have become a habit, no way to change them, ' it's really not easy..'

Anyway deciding on the path, he immediately went on to carry it!

From his position, he cuddled up to her slim waist and snuggled his face closer to it.

Meilin, who had a storm rising up in her eyes, almost melted from this gesture, almost.

'Meilin, you can't let him go with this...you can't!!', she reinforced her values.

”Qin ZiXuan, release me and open your eyes”, though she told herself not to give in, still, with him acting like this, no way could she continue with that facade, as a result, her voice had lost a lot of the coldness from earlier...

'haaah.... Damn these maternal instincts', she cursed under her teeth.

'It's working', he rejoiced but still continued with the farce.

He rubbed his face against her stomach as he shook his head, he was silently saying that he won't look up.

He used a very childish tone to call her name, ”Linlin...Linlin...don't be mad....don't be mad...please don't be mad.”

She almost cursed out loud, 'just how does he do it.'

Hearing that voice, her heart turned into a puddle and her frown straightened as she sighed inside her head, 'I can't seem to win against him....'

Noticing that she was not responding, he knew that he was almost there to KO her and now for the final blow--

He slowly looked up from under her, straight into her eyes.

His sharp phoenix eyes had somehow turned into big doe-like ones and his imaginary dog-ears were drooping down, he said in a very soft voice, as if, repenting his mistakes; as if, asking for forgiveness, though he didn't actually think anything near that, ”Linlin...please forgive your XuanXuan”..

INDEED THE FINAL BLOW...

MEILIN WAS KO'ed!!
