Chapter 21 (1/2)

“I was drunk yesterday…” She stammered as she explained. Although her explanation seemed unnecessary and unreasonable, still she gave her side of the story.

“I know.” Indeed, he gained some benefits when she was drunk.

“That… that…” She did not know what else to explain.

“Do you want to sleep some more or do you want to play for a while?” Pei Xiuyuan asked suddenly.

“Huh?” Lu Man was stunned.

What did it mean?

Pei Xiuyuan smirked when he saw her innocence clearly. “We could sleep for a while if you want. Or, we could continue the game we were playing yesterday. I liked it very much.”

Lu Man’s face reddened like an explosion.

She seemed like a cooked prawn.

“I want… I want to sleep for a while.”

“It’s too late!”

Pei Xiuyuan felt that it was not enough.

He finally understood why there were emperors who skipped the imperial court session in the morning and chose to enjoy the moment with their beautiful lovers. How could those tedious government affairs be compared with these sweet moments?

Lu Man wanted to change the bedsheets when Pei Xiuyuan went to deal with his work. She nearly fell down on the floor when she got out of bed. Her legs were shaky.

Her lips twitched. Why would Pei Xiuyuan act savagely given that he was such a gentle person?

She endured her backache and changed the bedsheet. She pulled the bedsheet out.

She was stunned when she saw that the bedsheet was not stained with blood.

4It was her first time. How could it be clean like that? Why was it unstained?

They did sleep together these past two days!

What was wrong?

She stared at the bed sheet. She did not even notice Pei Xiuyuan when he entered the room.

“What’s wrong?”

Lu Man recovered her senses. “It’s nothing.”

She could not voice out her doubt.

“Do you want to eat out or call for food delivery service?” They did not have proper meals these past two days.

“Call for food delivery service then.” Lu Man did not want to head out. She did not have any energy left to cook either.

“Fine.”

Pei Xiuyuan called for food delivery service.

Lu Man continued changing the bed sheet. When she was done, she bent down and picked up the used bed sheet. She wanted to wash them.

“Just leave it there. Wait till the cleaning lady is here tomorrow. She’ll wash it.”

“I’ll wash it now.” She was shy and she did not want anyone else to see her bed sheet.

Pei Xiuyuan knew that she was shy. So, he did not force her. “Then, let me do it. Just look at you. You look like you can’t even walk. How could you wash the bed sheet?”

Lu Man soon looked at Pei Xiuyuan, pouting. “Whose fault is that?”

Pei Xiuyuan laughed out loud. He was quite satisfied!

Lu Man’s lips twitched. ‘Why does he think that I’m praising him?’

1“Do you know how to do the laundry?”

“I do.” He was obsessed with cleanliness. Therefore, he had always washed his own personal clothes.

Although he claimed that he knew how to do the laundry, Lu Man was still worried. She went to take a look.
