After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 189 - 187: Does It Still Hurt?

Qin Yun really tried to recall the scene she had just witnessed.

From an appreciation standpoint, well... Pei Yan’s physique is the kind she likes: athletic waist, long legs, looks slim in clothes but muscular when undressed, and his pecs aren’t oversized but strong—feels great to touch.

She licked her lips, feeling a bit thirsty, and instinctively reached for the fruit beside her, only to find her hand empty.

Qin Yun turned her head and suddenly remembered she wasn’t in the bedroom, and her fruit plate wasn’t brought out. But Pei Yan was still showering inside, and if she went in, she’d have to pass by the bathroom. If she couldn’t control her gaze...

Forget it, she’ll wait for Pei Yan to finish showering and come out before going in to grab it.

It’s only a few minutes without food.

She can endure!

Just as she convinced herself, she smelled the familiar scent of the shower gel she had just used, wafting out.

Qin Yun instinctively turned her head to look, and sure enough, Pei Yan was done showering and was using a towel to wipe his wet hair, scattering droplets with his movements.

Her gaze dropped as Pei Yan’s raised arm caused his robe to slightly open and close in front, revealing a fleeting sight, quickly concealed again, making it all the more attention-grabbing.

Qin Yun forced herself not to look but couldn’t help occasionally glancing out of the corner of her eye.

"If you want to look, just look openly," Pei Yan said with a laugh, noticing her little moves.

"I don’t want to look, just feel like you’re dressed improperly." Qin Yun turned her head and said righteously.

Pei Yan looked down at his well-tied belt, glanced down again, and questioned in doubt, "Improper?"

Qin Yun walked over, with a stern face, grabbed the lapels, and pulled them tightly together, "You’re exposing your chest."

Pei Yan raised an eyebrow at her.

"Why are you looking at me?" Qin Yun stepped back two steps, crossed her arms, and squinted her peach blossom eyes, sizing him up.

Hmm...

Why does he look more handsome coming out of the shower than he did this afternoon?

Is there some beautifying effect to showering?

"I’m in my room, showing a bit of chest, should be fine, right?" Pei Yan mimicked her, crossing his arms, highlighting the height difference.

The same action, when Pei Yan does it, exudes a lazy yet chic vibe, and his hair messed by the towel still harbors water droplets that occasionally drip, paired with the chest she pulled together, arms casually draped, gives an indescribable sense of leisure.

He gazed lazily at Qin Yun, while she had to look up to see him, this feeling of being looked down upon displeased her, almost feeling like a little child sulking before him.

Though it’s the same action, it yields entirely different flavors.

Qin Yun pursed her lips, distancing herself from Pei Yan.

Never felt the height difference was this vast before!!

Looking now, Pei Yan is at least twenty centimeters taller!!

"Why are you running so far? Help me dry my hair." Pei Yan dissatisfiedly grabbed her hand.

With a slight tug, he pulled the unguarded Qin Yun closer.

"Ow, it hurts!!"

Qin Yun collided into his embrace, her prominent nose hitting against solid chest muscle, making her feel a sour sensation at the tip of her nose, her peach blossom eyes immediately welling with tears.

"Where does it hurt?" Pei Yan pulled her out swiftly to inspect her slightly reddened nose, his eyes full of concern.

Qin Yun stared at his eyes, stunned for a few seconds, Pei Yan worried about her?

Why??

She’s not made of glass, just bumped her nose.

Pei Yan gently touched her nose, ensuring the nose bone wasn’t injured.

The touch at the tip made Qin Yun pause.

In her daze, she heard Pei Yan ask again, "Does it still hurt?"

She instinctively shook her head, her eyes gradually clearing from misty to bright.

"Are you stupid! Aren’t you good with reflexes? At this speed, couldn’t dodge a bit?" Pei Yan commented in annoyance, thinking of her red nose and her eyes filled with mist.

Qin Yun’s anger rose too, her gaze focused, "You pulled me suddenly, or else I wouldn’t crash into you! If not for that, my nose wouldn’t be hurt! You’re lucky this nose is real; otherwise, just now it might have been ruined!!"

"Sorry." Pei Yan said a bit hoarsely.

The sudden apology left Qin Yun speechless, her words stuck in her throat: "??" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Why isn’t he following the usual rules?

Surrendering so quickly, what’s left for her to say?

Plus, Pei Yan isn’t one to concede easily!!

Given this breeding season, how did his temperament change so much?

Is the breeding season really that intimidating?

Qin Yun grumbled a reluctant "Oh."

Then turned to the master bedroom, intending to eat some fruit to calm herself.

Until she finished the fruit plate, Pei Yan hadn’t returned, and it was already past midnight.

Ten minutes later, Pei Yan returned.

Along with a small box in hand, containing a small cake.

Pei Yan brought the cake into the room, pursed his lips, and awkwardly explained, "I heard sweets can improve mood; it’s late, all nearby stores closed, only got a small one. If you want, I’ll take you to the bakery tomorrow."

Qin Yun’s eyes flashed with surprise, her emotions a mix of complexity and helplessness, surprised that Pei Yan went to get her a small cake.

Thinking back to her collision, Pei Yan seemed worried and hence his tone of apology; now he’s not only apologized but also gifted an apology present, she seemed to have no further reason to be mad.

Besides, being angry is one thing, why reject the food!

So, without hesitation, Qin Yun accepted the small cake.

Seeing her acceptance, Pei Yan relaxed, knowing if she eats what he bought, she isn’t angry.

The small cake portion brims for a few bites only, disappearing quickly.

The two tidied up briefly and went to bed.

Due to Qin Yun’s earlier promise, once Pei Yan lay down, he extended his long arm and embraced her.

"What are you doing?" Qin Yun instinctively resisted, alertly turning her head to ask.

"...You just agreed to let me hold you to sleep." Pei Yan replied boldly, without fear.

Qin Yun recalling she casually said so when cheerful, pursed her lips.

Alright...

She’s not one to backtrack from her words; settling herself into his arms.

Pei Yan glanced down at the freshly soothed person, then at the nightstand’s items, sighed, looking like tonight they’d be unnecessary.
