Chapter 219 Mr. Tang… Is This Shy
Noon
After temporarily wrapping up his work, Tang Yucheng returned to the villa.
As soon as the door opened, An Xiaotui came rushing up to meet me, her voice soft and sweet as she called out, "Yucheng."
"Well, I'm back." Facing his little wife, Tang Yucheng unconsciously softened his tone, a stark contrast to his demeanor when facing outsiders.
There was something else he wanted to say, but as he glanced at the table where a simple yet fragrant spread of home-cooked meals lay waiting, his rigid features softened. A warmth flowed through him.
But the next moment, the barely perceptible upward curve of his lip vanished again.
"Aren't you supposed to be staying home and resting Why are you in the kitchen Are you feeling unwell" He wrapped his strong arms around her waist, pulling her closer. He cupped her chin with his hand, forcing her face towards him, and asked in a serious tone.
After asking his questions, Tang Yucheng released An Xiaotu without waiting for her to speak. He nervously checked her all over, especially her ten fingers, making sure every part of her was unharmed. Only when he confirmed everything was fine did he finally relax, though he still maintained a cold and hard expression.
Her disobedience gave him the urge to pin her down on his lap and spank her little butt hard, but it was just a thought. He couldn't bring himself to do it.
"I'm fine. You've been busy all morning, have some food."
An Xiaotu forcefully ignored the intense aura emanating from him. She hugged his arm with both hands, flashing a sweet smile tinged with flattery, and pulled him towards the dining table.
She was just cooking a meal, and Yu Cheng reacted this much. An Xiaotu didn't dare let him know that this meal was made despite her suffering from pregnancy discomfort.
The appearance of Luo Haixin, and her words and deeds, had a considerable impact on An Xiaotu. Thinking that Luo Haixin worked by Tang Yucheng's side, An Xiaotu subconsciously wanted to do something for him to prove that she was helpful to him.
"You're not allowed in the kitchen anymore, remember that" Tang Yucheng said sternly.
After experiencing pregnancy symptoms after conceiving the little rabbit, she was exhausted. He didn't want her to go through any more hardship.
"Oh…" An Xiaotu's body stiffened slightly, she slowly lowered her eyes, and responded softly.
Because of his words, my mood inexplicably sank. I couldn't help but start overthinking things.
He seemed truly angry, didn't he like what she had done for him
She thought he liked her, after all, whenever she occasionally cooked for him and washed his hands, he reacted happily and seemed to enjoy it.
Tang Yucheng was never good with words, nor was he someone who was good at expressing his inner thoughts. But at this moment, he clearly felt that An Xiaotu's emotions were off.
Perhaps because of my own words...
He let out a soft sigh, organized his thoughts in his heart, and then slowly spoke, "Little Rabbit, I don't want you to work too hard; you are my wife, my lifelong companion. In fact, there is no need for you to do too much for me. You just need to be responsible for loving me always, remember that"
"...Huh"
An Xiaotu was lost in her own emotions. Hearing him say that, she was stunned for a moment. After reacting to what he said, a blush crept onto her cheeks, and she nodded lightly.
Seeing her cheeks flushed with shyness, Tang Yucheng's eyes flashed a hint of mischief, and he suddenly felt the urge to tease her.
"Did you hear clearly" His eyes were intense, but his voice was calm and measured.
"Just be responsible for loving him" When An Xiaotu heard the taciturn and steady man suddenly say something that sounded like a plea for love, she felt her whole face burning up. She was flustered and hurriedly nodded her head.
"Listen... Listen carefully."
"So, what's your answer then" he asked, concealing the smile in his eyes.
His little wife, it seemed, was far more interesting than he had imagined.
An Xiao Rabbit thought it was because his voice was too small, he hadn't heard clearly, so he raised his voice slightly and repeated it again.
"Listen carefully."
"I know you heard me, I'm asking if you are willing to..."
Tang Yu Cheng originally wanted to tease her, but when he bumped into her clear, innocent and lost eyes, with an expression of eagerly waiting for his answer, his voice stopped. The words he was about to say suddenly couldn't be uttered. He felt a strange and subtle warmth in his ears, and there was a strange feeling in his chest that was both unfamiliar and peculiar.
An Xiaotuo waited for a long time but he didn't say another word. She asked, "What do you want"
“……”
Tang Yucheng pursed his lips, clenched his fists tightly, and tried hard in his heart, but he just couldn't say the other half of the sentence that remained unsaid.
Yes, Mr. Tang, who had lived for so many years without knowing what shyness was, felt shy for the first time in his life; however, he himself didn't even know what this strange and unfamiliar emotion was, calling it 'shyness'.
But speaking of which, Mr. Tang's shyness is truly a breath of fresh air.
An Xiaotu felt the atmosphere was a bit strange. She thought he might have suddenly not wanted to talk, so she didn't want to pressure him.
The doe-like eyes rolled around, and the next second, like discovering a new continent, she exclaimed with a hint of surprise, “Hey Yucheng, your ears are a little red.”
Saying that, he raised his hands and gently pinched his flushed ears, which were warm and felt good to the touch. He continued, “When I was little, my mother told me that when someone’s ears turn red and hot, it means someone is thinking about them.”
Tang Yucheng seemed like she had been discovered with some secret, her ears even redder and hotter, spreading outward.
"Have dinner, the food will get cold." He pulled her hands away and changed the subject.
Spurred on by his reminder, An Xiaotui immediately came to her senses and sat down in the dining chair.
……
Had lunch --
Tang Yucheng accompanied An Xiaotu for a walk in the backyard to aid digestion, and then sent her back to her room for an afternoon nap.
"Yu Cheng."
In the room, An Xiaotu grabbed Tang Yucheng's hand as he was about to leave.
"What's wrong" he turned and observed her expression.
An Xiaotu lowered her head, making it hard to see her emotions. She grasped his hand tightly, bit her lip, and whispered, "I... can you wait until I fall asleep before going to work I'm... not used to this place yet."
Every time she thought about Luo Hai Xin assisting him at work, her heart ached. She didn't want him to leave so soon, not even for a second longer.
He narrowed his eyes, unable to fathom her unusual behavior throughout the day.
Before he could respond, she suddenly let go of his hands and changed her tune, smiling and saying, "I was just kidding. You're about to start work, so go on."
She can't be capricious, she can't let personal feelings affect his work.
As soon as she spoke, she wrapped her hands around his neck, and he willingly leaned down, allowing her to kiss his cheek.
After the kiss, An Xiaotu just wanted to pull away, but Tang Yucheng took advantage of the situation and picked her up, walking steadily and gracefully towards the bed.
Suddenly being picked up, An Xiaotu was startled. She had been preoccupied with Luo Hai Xin just a moment ago, but now she forgot all about it because of the surprise. Her mind even inexplicably came up with some shy thoughts.er what happens, running away won't solve anything. You need to find a way to resolve the problems, understand Alright, I'll hang up now."……In the eveningTang Yuchen went home from work, saw no one in...
