"Liu Zijian!!!" She creamed as she forcefully removed his hands from where they were casually rested.
She turned around to face him, but the moment she saw his baffled face as if innocently asking what's wrong because what he did was just a normal thing to do, her embarrassment multiplied by hundred folds!
"Y...you..! Y...ou! Y...you! H...How...could..!" Han Meixiu stammered as she was getting flustered.
Liu Zijian looked at her in amusement and slowly broke a charming smile. He was surprised when his hands were removed and even stepped back a little to give her a space when she turned around after he heard her calling his name.
When Han Meixiu saw him smile she was mortified! She froze for two reasons because of that smile.
First it was because that smile was so adorable and captivating. It was as if the person in front of her wasn't Liu Zijian at all but an ethereal being descended just to put the world into turmoil because of its charm.
The second one was because the reason behind that smile! She knew he didn't smile often, much more smile like he's suppressing himself not to laugh but his eyes were clearly giving his emotions out! He's making fun of her! When did he learn to tease someone?
In her split-second zoning out, he chuckled softly.
"Ahhh!" She exclaimed and covered her face with both of her hands. "Don't laugh!" She angrily shouted but didn't look at him. She just didn't simply blush, her face turned as red as a fully ripe tomato and radiated like a hot pan!
Seeing her reactions made him realize that she could actually give him this kind of delight. It's a type of enjoyment sprinkled with sweetness and warmth.
He closed their distance as he slowly embraced her.
"Why are you like this?" Han Meixiu voiced out her question the moment she felt his arms around her. Her voice was small with still a hint of anger because of embarrassment.
"What do you mean?" He innocently asked. Was she talking about his unrestrained touch? Or was it the comparison? He wanted to know thus he shamelessly asked.
"Was it because I touched you or because I told you which buns I was talking about?"
She originally thought that his teasing already ended when he gently wrapped his arms around her to comfort her but it's clearly not the case! Her embarrassment sky-rocketed once again and she buried herself deeper in his chest before she answered.
"Both!"
"Oh, I won't compare anymore. It's not a good analogy anyway." He casually said as he rested his head on top of hers. He only promised one out of two. But Han Meixiu didn't notice it.
Just who gave him the idea of comparing her bosom to that of a bun! She might not be a gifted woman in that area but hers are lot better than those buns! Without realizing it, she blurted out her thoughts to defend herself.
"Mine are small but.."
"Yeah." He confirmed nonchalantly.
"What?!? You really agree?" She pushed him using her two hands that were covering her face and looked up at him. Was he dissatisfied with them?!? She really wanted to launch an all time war right at this moment!
The sudden movement made him loosened his arms and confusedly gazed at her. 'Why is she angry again?' He wondered if his answer was incorrect but he merely agreed. What's wrong with that?
Looking at her aggrieved eyes he was really lost for words.
"You're dissatisfied with what I have, right?...Dissatisfied with me..." She miserably said after Liu Zijian didn't say anything and lowered her head again.
She's been worried that at some point, he might really realize that their marriage was a wrong decision. She was the only one who gained something in this set up. If one day he would realize that he was trapped in this situation and eventually leave, she really couldn't blame him.
In the end, she's still bound to be alone. As her thoughts progress, she became more depressed and her eyes started to moist.
The question made Liu Zijian more baffled. How did the topic become 'him being dissatisfied with her'? He lifted her head to see her reaction as he felt something's a miss.
True enough, he saw her eyes forming tears that she's trying to suppress.
"It's not really a problem. Small or not, size doesn't matter. As long as it's part of you, then it's fine." He explained thinking it was because of that 'small' word. He didn't have any preference pertaining to a woman's body anyway. Whatever his wife has, that's all he wanted.
He observed her reaction after he spoke. Her tears that she was holding back finally traveled down her cheeks. 'She still cried? Why?'
For someone like Liu Zijian who was lacking in terms of understanding human emotions, he would be clearly at loss facing a woman. Women's emotions and the way they think were really complicated. It would be an extremely challenging task to understand them.
She didn't know why but for her, his words meant more than what he originally intended. She slowly nodded and a relieved slight smile lightened her entire aura dispersing her depressive thoughts.
Liu Zijian sighed inside when he saw her finally calming down. He planted a quick and soft kiss on her forehead before wiping her tears with his thumb.
"Let's go." He simply said and lead the way while securely holding her hand.
She grabbed her things and she let herself be pulled by Liu Zijian. Her eyes were still a bit red but she actually didn't care. She felt happy. It's the kind of happiness that would not make you jump for joy but instead sit back and calmly enjoy everything around you.
Aunt Jing just came in when she saw the couple went out and Han Meixiu's tear-strained face didn't escape her discerning eyes. She thought Liu Zijian bullied the Young Miss but seeing the subtle smile on the latter's face, she knew it would be impossible. Even though Han Meixiu looked so fragile when she's standing next to Liu Zijian, the young woman wasn't a masochist to enjoy being bullied to the point of smiling after crying.
Since they already ate their breakfast, she didn't have anything to do aside from cleaning up the kitchen that was seemed to encounter a tornado.
