Chapter 483 - As round as pearls and smooth as jade (2)
After he indignantly stood up, he heard someone yelping behind him.
Zhu Yurun clutched her quilt and pitifully sat up. Looking at his back figure, she said, ”I... Can I blame you a little bit?”
Qian Yingchen froze in surprise for a moment. He turned his head and looked at her in puzzlement. ”How much is a little bit?”
”Not too much, not too little, just a small amount that's enough for you to stay.” Zhu Yurun carefully s.p.a.ced her thumb and pointer finger to make a gesture of ”a little bit”.
Qian Yingchen frowned. ”You want me to stay here?”
”Yes... Ah, no. You don't have to stay here for too long. Stay here for an hour... or, twenty minutes would be good too.” Zhu Yurun giggled.
Qian Yingchen was silent for a while, then he swept his gaze over her and said, ”Sit here and look at your messy hair and unkempt appearance?”
During the one-month recovery period, a woman wasn't allowed to wash up. Hearing these words, Zhu Yurun felt very embarra.s.sed. She quickly put down her bed curtains and left a small strip of s.p.a.ce. This way, she could sneakily look at him, but he couldn't see her.
”Just... like this.”
Qian Yingchen snorted. ”What's the point in me sitting here? Do you have something you want to ask or say to this one?”
Zhu Yurun panicked. What should she say? As soon as she saw Qian Yingchen, she felt tongue-tied, so she naturally had nothing to say. What should she ask? There wasn't anything to ask...
In a moment of desperation, Zhu Yurun choose the worst question to ask. ”Sir Qian... Are you still going to marry Miss Sun?”
”En.” Qian Yingchen indifferently nodded.
Flabbergasted, Zhu Yurun couldn't resist the urge to smack her own head. Wasn't asking this question just pointlessly making herself feel vexed? Wrapping the quilt around her, she rolled around her bed a few times, which caused the bed to fiercely shake. This startled Qian Yingchen.
”Miss Zhu?”
”It's nothing.” Zhu Yurun stopped her movement and very calmly said, ”I just turned over.”
If turning over could cause the bed to shake like this, she really should cut back on eating.
Following this exchange, the two people had nothing to say to each other. Qian Yingchen sat there with a solemn expression. Zhu Yurun lied down with a bitter expression.
However, Qian Yingchen had actually sat there for twenty minutes. Once the time was up, he lightly asked Zhu Yurun, ”Is there anything that you especially want to eat?”
Zhu Yurun didn't know why, but tears almost fell down. She bit her quilt and sobbed before saying in a m.u.f.fled voice, ”I want to eat braised meat from East Street, snacks from Fuman Restaurant, twisted steamed rolls from a street stall, and candied hawthorn.”
She heard a disdainful snort outside of her bed. It was followed by the sound of Qian Yingchen departing.
She knew that he had only come here to give her father face, and he was only asking this question out of politeness, so Zhu Yurun wasn't too disappointed. She only lifted up her bed curtain to look and looked out at the room. He was already gone.
