Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 625: The Tyrant’s Wife-Chasing Redemption Arc
Shangxue was really confused. It was her first meeting with Meng Ying; what secret could she possibly tell Meng Ying?
Suddenly, she wondered if Meng Ying was slandering her, and quickly said to Xie Mingyu, "Whatever she has said to you, don’t believe it. If you have any questions, ask me directly; we don’t need to keep secrets between us."
"Not asking now," Xie Mingyu glanced at the others on the boat, shaking his head.
Shangxue frowned.
What exactly did Meng Ying say? Why would Xie Mingyu react like this?
However, she was not a woman who made trouble out of nothing. Since he said not to ask now, she didn’t press him further.
Once they got back to the apartment and went upstairs, Shangxue calmly let Xie Mingyu take a bath first.
She knew he always loved cleanliness and couldn’t stand any filth or disorder.
After playing outside for most of the day, he would definitely want to bathe first; otherwise, whatever he did would make him restless.
Xie Mingyu indeed couldn’t bear the mess, so he didn’t reject Shangxue’s kindness and went to shower first.
After washing, he came out and saw Shangxue was also freshened up, and happily went over to put his arms around her waist.
"Yu, it’s getting late, let’s rest early," Shangxue smiled at Xie Mingyu.
Xie Mingyu nodded.
However, they both headed in opposite directions.
Xie Mingyu took a few steps before realizing Shangxue hadn’t followed, so he turned around.
Sure enough, he saw Shangxue already by the door.
"Xue’er, where are you going?" Xie Mingyu asked in surprise.
Shangxue turned around, blinking: "Of course, to rest. It’s getting late; let’s rest early and talk more tomorrow morning."
"Rest? You want to rest outside?" Xie Mingyu was surprised.
Shangxue asked, "Is there a problem?"
Xie Mingyu thought, there was indeed a big problem.
We’re already together, yet you want to rest outside. Are you unwilling to be with me?
Then, he remembered what Meng Ying had told him.
They had boasted outside, and now she’s ignoring him?
In anger, Xie Mingyu couldn’t help but question, "Didn’t you tell Meng Ying you conquered me with your skills? Why are you going out to sleep?"
Shangxue: "..."
Frozen as if struck by lightning.
How could she forget telling Meng Ying that?
"So, Miss Meng told you the secret, and that’s it?" Shangxue asked awkwardly.
Xie Mingyu nodded, his ears slightly red, but mustered up courage to face Shangxue, proudly lifting his chin, "You told people you conquered me with your skills, and now you’re going to sleep outside. Aren’t you boasting?"
"I was indeed boasting; I just wanted to annoy her because she called me ugly," Shangxue muttered.
"Words are deeds; if you say it, you must do it. Otherwise, people will expose you next time," Xie Mingyu pulled her close, embracing her waist.
"But she won’t be hiding under our bed listening; how would she know if we’re sleeping together or separately?" Shangxue murmured.
"You can’t deceive people, especially not me," Xie Mingyu said stubbornly.
Shangxue couldn’t help but press her lips into a smile.
Xie Mingyu blushed, "Why are you laughing?"
Shangxue laughed and said, "Yu, if you want to sleep with me, just say it directly. Why beat around the bush with all sorts of words? Even when you beat around the bush, I can hear it; might as well just ask directly."
Xie Mingyu’s face turned redder, "Who wants to sleep with you."
"Oh, so you don’t want to. Since you don’t, I’ll leave," Shangxue pushed his hand away and was about to leave.
Xie Mingyu panicked, holding her tightly, not letting go.
His face reddened with urgency, unable to ask her to stay, yet unwilling for her to leave.
The sight made Shangxue want to laugh and cry.
She couldn’t resist tiptoeing, wrapping her arms around his neck, softly asking, "Do you want me to stay?"
"I just want to know how your skills are, and how you plan to conquer me?" Xie Mingyu’s voice lowered, eyes bright, looking at her.
"Want to know, huh," Shangxue said.
Xie Mingyu nodded.
"Alright, I’ll show you just how good my skills are now."
Saying this, Shangxue stepped forward, forcing Xie Mingyu to retreat.
He retreated until he was by the bed, having nowhere else to go before stopping.
But Shangxue quickly reached out, gently pushed him.
Xie Mingyu, who looked so good, delicate like jade, unexpectedly was easily pushed down with a gentle nudge.
Then Shangxue leaned over, a soft hand caressing his cheek.
However, Xie Mingyu’s skin was unlike men’s rough skin; it was smoother than a woman’s.
Clearly, someone raised in pampered luxury, never suffering hardship.
Shangxue dared not touch him too hard, afraid of hurting that delicate skin.
"Oh, how can I make a move on someone like you," Shangxue lamented.
"What do you mean?"
Xie Mingyu, enthralled, suddenly hearing Shangxue’s words, widened his eyes.
"Yu, can you... do it?" Shangxue struggled to say.
Xie Mingyu: "..."
"What do you mean, can I do it? Shangxue, what are you implying?"
"Previously, it was because Miss Wan drugged you; your body... I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it," Shangxue confessed her worry.
She actually sensed it last time.
Xie Mingyu seemed to have some obstacles in this area.
Though he seemed passionate, he held back at the last moment.
She could see desire in his eyes but maybe physically wasn’t able.
But Shangxue understood him; after all, he had been physically weak since childhood. Regarding such matters, treatments were done for years to be at least normal, though unknown if fully functional.
But she decided—whether he could or couldn’t, she would be with him all her life.
For her, being by his side for life, caring for him, was already satisfying.
These matters couldn’t be forced; she wasn’t focused on desire either. Such things might be regrettable but not obsessional.
Expressing indifference subtly, she made Xie Mingyu fuming.
Was she doubting him?
He previously restrained his desire out of concern for her, fearing she might get hurt.
Who knew she’d suspect him?
"Whether I can or can’t, why don’t you test? Deploy your skills, and let me test how good you are."
Xie Mingyu leaned down, biting her pearl-like earlobe, softly murmuring these words.
Shangxue’s ears turned red.
Not just ears, her whole face flushed, body trembled, wanting to hide her face in embarrassment.
She really didn’t expect a gentleman like him to utter such provocatively teasing words.
"If we’re testing, let’s test."
Shangxue’s face red, boldly held his face, passionately kissed the lips she longed for day and night.
