Chapter 89 Living one’s life (1)
Li Youde looked sideways, only to see the top of Chen Hui’s head. She was dressed in a simple light blue men’s robe and her hair was tied into a man’s bun, but the soft curves revealed by her slightly bent over body taught people not to mistake her identity of a woman.
In his distraction, he recalled his answer at that time. He wanted to keep what he had said originally, but thinking that he already said these things, there was no need to talk about trivial things. In any case, she would still sit stride above his head and mess around in the future.
“It is rare for a person to be muddle-headed. Why do you have to make things so clear,” Li Youde said.
Chen Hui didn’t say anything. She was considering whether this answer met her standards. There doesn’t seem to be any sarcasm in this statement.
“You will suffer outside with your temperament of trying to make everything clear. Except for me, who could bear your questions after questions,” Li Youde said. Perhaps, it was because what should’ve been said and not have been said, and once you give up your face, you would relax, these words were easier to say. He said, “Like or dislike, is it not a vain thing? I just want you to be my intimate person and live well together…If you are willing, don’t ask so much.”
“What if I am not willing?” Chen Hui asked curiously.
Li Youde humphed once, “What do you think?”
“Send me away?” Chen Hui asked.
“In your dreams.”
“Then…lock me up, don’t give me food and water and starve me to death?”
Li Youde stared at Chen Hui and said in disbelief, “Lady Chen, am I so vicious in your eyes?”
Chen Hui quickly said, “No, no, I just said that randomly…”
Li Youde sneered. He shouldn’t have been totally devoted to her. He told her all his inner thoughts and she jested at him and didn’t say any good words!
He didn’t regret having said these things. She just didn’t appreciate it. So, what could he do? He couldn’t let someone send her away. Even if he got really angry, he could only lock her up for two days to curb her temperament and then she would be released and would make trouble in the future again. If she truly could listen to him and be deeply grateful, he would thank the heavens!
“Lord, just pretend you didn’t have heard what I have said before. I am willing, very willing!” Chen Hui smiled unreservedly. Although Li Youde didn’t say the word ‘like’, it didn’t matter. The future is long. She was already very satisfied with the results she achieved today. There are many methods of falling in love after getting married. Although, the two of them couldn’t be regarded as being “married” strictly speaking, it was enough that the meaning is almost the same.
“Sit well. Don’t jump around to not fall after a moment,” Li Youde signaled Chen Hui to sit firmly.
“Yes, lord!” Chen Hui responded happily and she naturally reached out her hand to take Li Youde’s arm.
“What are you doing?!” Li Youde said with a stern face.
Chen Hui said with a smile, “I can’t sit well and will be able to sit more well holding lord’s arm.”
Li Youde, “…” He didn’t want to say anything anymore. Aside from her extraordinary action and words against him, he even felt that he was raising a daughter and is always worried.
“Lord, this Lady Chen wants to know something. Can this Lady Chen ask you?” Chen Hui held Li Youde’s arm and leaned her head too much on his shoulder. She always did the thing of ‘win an inch, want a foot’ very smoothly.
Win an inch, want a foot: Give him an inch and he’ll want a footLi Youde felt a hint of danger. He hesitated for a moment before he asked, “What do you want to ask again?”
Chen Hui said, “I just want to ask, what is the matter with Lady Jiang?”
Li Youde frowned.
Before he could say anything, Chen Hui said, “Lord, it is you who said that I am the mistress of Li residence from now on. Can you not let me know what the situation is with the people at home? Then, it doesn’t matter if I am not this mistress!”
As she spoke, she let go of Li Youde’s hand. She moved her butt to the side and turned her head away from him.
Li Youde was secretly happy about the word “home” that came from Chen Hui before he said, “Lady Jiang has always known her place. You don’t have to bother about her.”
“That won’t work. I have to know what her identity is at least so that I can decide what to do in the future,” Chen Hui said.
Li Youde frowned, “What do you want to do to her?”
His words unconsciously brought a hint of vigilance.
Chen Hui’s mouth slumped and she stared wide-eyed full of grievances at him. She said, “What does lord think that this Lady Chen would do to Lady Jiang?”
Li Youde was dumbstruck. Suddenly he understood that he was wrong. He had been in the harem for too long. There were no women in the harem who doesn’t rival each other for affection and who wasn’t jealous. Even if people got along with each other, it was either because the difference in status was too great or because of a temporary alliance. The moment Lady Chen mentioned Lady Jiang, he thought that it was…
