Beware the Appearing Cute Wife!-Chapter 1128 - 1257: Nonsense

At that time, Xu Feiyang’s delicate face seemed a bit awkward.

He asked her if she had read the book he returned last time.

Yege glanced at him casually and said, "Oh, are you talking about that ’The Count of Monte Cristo’? Chu Xici said he wanted to read it, so he just took it."

Yege thought she was really good at playing dumb, telling lies without blushing or a racing heart!

But compared to her composure, Xu Feiyang was not so calm. A slight blush appeared on his face, and even his eyes showed a trace of unease and confusion.

"He... took it?"

Yege nodded solemnly.

"Yeah!" Yege continued to feign innocence, "Is there a problem? He was the one who bought the book for me anyway!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Xu Feiyang started to get a little nervous as he spoke.

"Then, did he... say anything to you?"

Yege continued to play dumb.

"Say what? It’s just a book, right?"

Looking into Yege’s clear eyes, Xu Feiyang knew she didn’t know anything, so he said nothing more.

And that was the end of it; the two of them got along as usual.

But Yege felt that between her and Chu Xici... it was not the same.

In fact, her way of interacting with Chu Xici was as it always had been, but somehow... there was a subtle change in their relationship.

That day, when Chu Xici burned the love letter, that look in his eyes...

Later, Yege recalled that scene countless times, always feeling that Chu Xici seemed... well, a bit jealous.

And then, Chu Xici cooked noodles for her, and the atmosphere really eased.

At that time, she confidently assured that she wouldn’t have a crush on Xu Feiyang.

But Chu Xici said, "You don’t have a crush on Xu Feiyang because you have someone else you like? Who is that?"

What did she say then?

She remembered herself saying, "Which of the guys around me can compare to you? Instead of liking them, I might as well like you! Don’t you think so?"

Yege originally just wanted to please Chu Xici so he wouldn’t be angry, but... Chu Xici simply replied, "Well, that sounds good!"

At that moment, Yege was completely stunned.

That... sounds good!

These few simple words made her heart feel sweet in the days thereafter, yet she also felt... something was off whenever she looked at Chu Xici.

Was that an illusion?

It always seemed that Chu Xici was being gentler to her than before.

And today, when Yunqing tried to pinch her cheek, Chu Xici blocked Yunqing’s hand...

She didn’t even notice it then?

Actually, it was a trivial matter originally, but at that moment, Yege’s heart was racing.

She just felt that his action then...

Well, how to say it, it was like she belonged to him exclusively, and no one else could touch her!

Even a bit like protecting his young...

Could this also be her illusion?

Yege looked at Chu Xici, somewhat dazed. She was clearly looking at him, but her thoughts were wandering.

Chu Xici also noticed Yege was zoning out, so he got up and gently tapped her head.

"You must be tired tonight, hurry up and go to sleep!"

Yege snapped back to reality and smiled at Chu Xici.

"Okay, okay, I know!"

With that, Yege turned and walked away. After taking just a couple of steps, she suddenly turned back and smiled sweetly.

"How about you sleep with me tonight?"

Chu Xici squinted his eyes and threw out two blunt words.

"Nonsense!"
