Kapitel 85: Liar Liar Pants on Fire!

Lu Xinyi wanted to die in embarrassment right then. One could only take too much embarrassment before wishing for the ground to swallow them. She just wanted the earth to swallow her and send her to the pits of Tartarus.

Her husband wasn't even bothered by it, which made her think that shamelessness runs in the veins of the Shen family. How the heck could she survive for too long if every member of the Shen family was as shameless as her husband?

"At least Xue's gift idea isn't bad at all," Shen Yi commented as he opened the box of Bed Bondage Set his brother gave them earlier. He knew that it was his little brother's payback from last night's event. Not that he cared; Shen Xue was the one who arrived unannounced anyway. Too bad it wasn't enough to kick him out of his home.

Lu Xinyi groaned, turned over onto her side in the bed, and clutched her body pillow tight against her chest.

"Why did you still take it?" she asked.

"It wouldn't hurt to try, Xinyi," her husband replied. He took out the ropes and the whip from the box and lifted them up for Lu Xinyi to see. "See this? Oh, why's there an eyepatch but no blindfolds?" he frowned.

"Shen Yi!" Oh gosh. What did she do to suffer such embarrassment from those two brothers?

"What? The one who was too loud last night wasn't me," Shen Yi retorted.

"This is all your fault!" Lu Xinyi threw a pillow at the back of Shen Yi's head.

"I didn't hear you complaining last night though. In fact, I think you almost made me deaf with your pleading. What was that again? Oh yes, take me harder, faster—"

"Liar, Liar, Pants on fire!" she screamed and covered her ears so she wouldn't hear what he was going to say.

Lu Xinyi sat up from their bed and smacked his head with a pillow before covering her face with one. Oh, the embarrassment! Shen Yi nearly fell on the bed, laughing.

"What are you? A kid? It's not like we're going to recreate that Red Room. Actually, we can. We still have spare rooms not in use, right?" Shen Yi couldn't help but to tease his wife.

"Shut up! Shut up! AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! I don't deserve this," Lu Xinyi complained.

"Don't worry, I'll give Xue some good earplugs for him to use."

Shen Yi pounced on her and pulled the pillow away from her face.

"It's your own fault. You're so damn addicting; only you can bring out this selfish side of me."

Lu Xinyi blushed and looked away. She really didn't understand why Shen Yi was so straightforward towards her.

"Don't you have work to do today?" Shen Yi asked. He'd been thinking to introduce his wife to Grammie the following week, and he should help her look presentable. His brows drew together when he remembered what kind of clothes she had in their walk-in closet.

"No, why do you ask?"

"How about going shopping with me?"

"Shopping?"

"Yes, you need a new wardrobe for the next season, and I already informed Grammie that I will meet her next week so you better do your best." It sounded more like an order than a request to Lu Xinyi's ears.

"Urgh… do I really have to? So troublesome," she complained, snuggling deeper on the bed, trying to ignore his hand that slipped under her shirt, smoothing up her torso. She shrieked out when his fingers suddenly ticked her sides.

"Hey, that's cheating! Stop! Alright, I'm going with you, but stop!" she pleaded. Her husband released her and pressed a kiss to her cheek before backing off.

Shen Yi climbed out of the bed and brought his wife with him.

"Hey, put me down! Where are you taking me?!" She was carried princess-style into the bathroom. Stepping into the bathroom, he brought her down and started to strip off his clothes.

"Let's shower together. It's a good way to conserve water."

Not giving her a chance to answer, Shen Yi pushed her into the shower stall fully clothed. Her arms automatically wrapped around his neck, pulling his head down for a kiss. Her moans drowned under the torrent of water above them.

When they emerged half an hour later, Shen Yi was feeling much more alive and stretch. Lu Xinyi, on the other hand, was grumbling, albeit content as she washed off the remnants of their afternoon tryst.
