Chapter 1903 - 1904: Living Together with Ye Xiaoying
Between lovers, arguments are inevitable.
When facing an angry woman, no amount of reasoning or explanation is of any use; only by feeding her with real actions can you prevail.
Just like the present situation with Ye Xiaoying.
Before feeding her, Ye Xuan used all sorts of sweet talk and numerous excuses for his tardiness to meet her, but it did nothing to ease her unreasonable behavior.
But after feeding her? Everything changed.
Just like now, when the storm has passed, she acts like a clingy little cat, lazily snuggling into Ye Xuan’s arms, her face flushed, tired yet happy.
In this state, does she even care about Ye Xuan’s tardiness?
Pat!
Ye Xuan lit a cigarette, breaking the long-standing silence in the room.
Inhaling the thick smoke into his lungs, Ye Xuan savored the wonderful feeling, looked up at the ceiling, and sighed silently.
Women, indeed, are such mundane creatures.
So damn mundane!
Before the battle, they say don’t, after the battle they say come on... I thought only Leng Qiuge and Liu Ying were like this, who would’ve guessed snotty girl was too!
Ye Xuan exhaled heavily, feeling anxious about the future.
They say the older a woman gets, the more she wants; at their age, they’re already this greedy. How can Ye Xuan keep up in another ten or twenty years?
"What kind of face are you making?" Ye Xiaoying seemed to read Ye Xuan’s thoughts, frowning immediately: "Are you feeling wronged? Taking advantage and still playing innocent, jerk!"
"I’ve been tirelessly like a bull for three hours straight, and I’m still the jerk?"
Ye Xuan snapped back to reality, immediately displeased: "Then you’re the jerk girl, using me up and not acknowledging it!"
"You..."
Ye Xiaoying was speechless, caught off guard.
But recalling her own appearance earlier, she lost some confidence.
Who told her to be unforgiving before the battle, and to cling lovingly to Ye Xuan after?
In a fit of anger, Ye Xiaoying bit hard on Ye Xuan’s chest: "I’ll bite you, you bastard, I’ll bite you to death!"
"Dammit, Ye Xiaoying, don’t push it, you think only you can bite?" Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and retaliated.
"Ah!" Ye Xiaoying exclaimed: "Ye Xuan, you beast, where are you biting?"
A playful scuffle ensued.
They nearly reignited the flame of battle, but Ye Xuan, realizing the situation, quickly controlled things: "Stop, stop, stop, if we keep going, our waists will break!"
"Hmph, jerk!" Ye Xiaoying pouted: "And not even a strong fighter at that, I look down on you!"
Ye Xuan: "..."
If he didn’t have to attend to Liu Ying and Leng Qiuge tonight, Ye Xuan would have shown this snotty girl his Kingly Aura.
But alas, reality did not permit indulgence, and now Ye Xuan had lost the capital to be capricious, so he silently swallowed his pride.
With one arm holding Ye Xiaoying’s soft, water-like body, and the other holding a cheap cigarette, Ye Xuan suddenly said, "Ye Xiaoying, let’s move in together."
"What?" Ye Xiaoying was taken aback, clearly surprised.
"I’ve already developed the Life and Death Pill, and the Gathering Spirit Stone is set up. If you live at my place, practicing martial arts will have unique benefits, and it’ll be more convenient for me too," said Ye Xuan.
This courtyard is nearly half a East Sea away from the Dragon Domain, running back and forth every day isn’t feasible.
"I don’t care where I live, currently, wherever you are, that’s home to me," Ye Xiaoying replied after collecting her thoughts, pursing her lips: "I’m just afraid that if I move into your house, your wife will bully me to death."
"She wouldn’t dare!" Ye Xuan said strongly: "I’m the boss in the Ye Family, you are my snotty girl, if she dares to bully you... then let her bully you a bit, it’s not that big of a deal."
Ye Xiaoying: "..."
At this moment, she wanted to curse.
"But really, you’re overthinking it," Ye Xuan quickly added: "Xiao Tong is actually quite easy to talk to, she looks icy, but that’s just an appearance, she’s always been considerate towards women."
"I was just saying, a mere woman, she can’t really bully me, can she?" Ye Xiaoying said proudly: "Even if there are harem fights, at least it’d be me bullying her, not the other way around."
Ye Xuan rolled his eyes, all just hard on the outside, soft on the inside.
"Then it’s settled, pack up soon and move to my place," said Ye Xuan.
"Nothing much to pack," Ye Xiaoying said: "Just some clothes, other stuff can be moved later."
"You’re right," Ye Xuan stood up and got dressed: "Then let’s take some clothes over now and buy some daily necessities at the nearby mall."
"Now?" Ye Xiaoying was surprised.
"Are we going to wait until tomorrow?"
Ye Xiaoying’s face turned red: "Later, I... I’m still a bit weak, need to rest a bit first."
Ye Xuan: "..."
...
Even though Ye Xuan and Ye Xiaoying were childhood sweethearts, it was only the second time they visited a modern mall together.
The last time they went shopping, Chiba Sakurako was with Ye Xuan; he remembered buying sexy clothes for both of them, which led to a conversation with the clerk that angered Ye Xiaoying, ending the day on a bad note.
Back then, Ye Xuan was quite depressed. Looking back now, he realized the mindset Ye Xiaoying had at the time.
During that period, the most sensitive thing for her was probably Ye Xuan constantly mentioning their old classmate status.
"What are you laughing foolishly about?" Holding Ye Xuan’s arm tenderly, Ye Xiaoying noticed his strange smile and spoke up.
"Nothing, just remembering some interesting past events," Ye Xuan chuckled, then saw a women’s clothing store: "Now that we’re at the mall, let me buy you some clothes, Ye Xiaoying?"
Ye Xiaoying also glanced at the women’s clothing store, furrowed her brows slightly: "This store looks like it only sells revealing clothes, can’t you learn to be better?"
"Being sexy isn’t a crime, how is it not better?" Ye Xuan grinned: "You’re no longer a little girl, need to dress more mature, understand?"
Ye Xiaoying: "Are you calling me old?"
Ye Xuan: "..."
Darn it, women are really hard to please!
But despite her words of protest, Ye Xiaoying still followed Ye Xuan into that women’s clothing store.
Ye Xuan picked out several sexy, figure-hugging dresses and some lingerie for Ye Xiaoying.
"Go try them on, call me when you’re ready," Ye Xuan said to Ye Xiaoying as she headed to the fitting room.
"Why would I call you?" Ye Xiaoying was perplexed.
"I need to see if those lingerie fit well and look sexy, right? What if I don’t like them?" Ye Xuan shrugged.
Ye Xiaoying: "..."
Everyone in the clothing store: "..."
