Chapter 45 (2/2)

“I would have to decline that offer. I’m going for a quick rest there,” said Xia Yanxi. It was but a simple rejection, nothing to be interpreted from there. Yet, all eyes were locked on her. The room became silent and the atmosphere changed. Seeing as there was still moisture present on the corner of her eyes, and the blemished redness on her lips, the atmosphere changed again, this time, to that of indecent thoughts.

Chu Muzhi especially was louder then others. He smiled and even chuckled suggestively.

“Oh dear, Sister-In-Law, please take some rest. We understand. Even though Second Brother might not have lasted long, the man is rather well-endowed when it comes to that part of him. A person as soft and sweet as you must surely be in so much pain…”

Xia Yanxi cocked her head, trying to understand what he was trying to convey. At that moment she understood those underlying words, her face turned bright red, like a cooked lobster. Her flustered reaction only made things worse. Everyone started to have images appearing in their heads, and the look in their eyes gave them away.

“Please don’t simply say things like that… I… We didn’t do anything in there…”

Chu Muzhi turned to her, resting his chin on his palm while arching an eyebrow. He was expressing his disbelief and oh so blatantly even.

“Nothing? Well then, that must mean a quick blow!”

Everyone burst out laughing.

If her face could get any redder, it would. As she combed her hair back furiously, she glared once at Chu Muzhi who was laughing the hardest, and glared at the man that was quiet. Sulking, she said, “You could at least say something!”

Qiao Yanli brought the cigar to his lips and after puffing a good amount of smoke, he said, smiling clearly this time, “It’s just a kiss.”

“Second Brother, even if it were just a kiss, for someone that has never kissed a girl before, you need to at least be more gentle! Aww… Look at her lips… they are sore all over… Such a waste! How could you not appreciate such a fine jade!”

Xia Yanxi was utterly speechless. She had no idea how she would face such a rapscallion.
