Chapter 62 - Your Kisses Have A Healing Effect (1/2)

He wasn’t really crippled, so yes, he could feel her touch–including her soft palms against his thighs.

“A little.” He kept his voice indifferent.

“Really? That’s great.” Tang Qiu was elated; she hadn’t been mistaken about her husband’s chances of recovery after all. In her excitement, her grip tightened.

Jiang Shaocheng couldn’t take it anymore. He pulled her up so she met his gaze. “Are you done reading? I believe you owe me something.” He gestured to his lips.

She had promised him a kiss in the afternoon–and it was just the two of them now. She was about to oblige when there was a knock on the door.

It was Ke Liuyi, draped in a red nightgown with a glass of milk in hand.

Jiang Shaocheng’s eyes narrowed at the interruption.

“For Shaocheng,” Ke Liuyi explained. “To help him sleep.”

When Tang Qiu nodded and stretched her hand out, she withdrew the glass. “I’ll do it myself.” She brushed past Tang Qiu, giving the other woman a whiff of her scent–fragrant and feminine.

Ke Liuyi placed the milk on Jiang Shaocheng’s desk. “Remember to finish it,” she reminded, and he nodded perfunctorily. With an easy smile, she added, “Relax. I’ll be on my way.” She knew her limits, and wasn’t about to risk being on the receiving end of his annoyance.

After the door was shut and they were alone, Tang Qiu asked, “Did you smell that? Her scent is so nice.”

“No,” was all he said.

Tang Qiu frowned, wondering if there was something wrong with his sense of smell, but then he continued, “We weren’t done yet, Qiu.”

Jiang Shaocheng paid no mind to other women; the only scent he noticed belonged to Tang Qiu–since it drove him wild in her proximity.

Tang Qiu’s face heated again. “Drink your milk and sleep,” she urged.

Before she could escape, he took hold of her hand. “Only if you share it with me.”
