The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 577 - 541 Pure-hearted Mr. Chu

Mr. Chu’s face was very unpleasant.

Expressionless, dark and gloomy.

But in the end, he said three words: "I’m sorry."

Qin Xia slightly raised her eyebrows, listening to those three words he suddenly uttered.

"I... should have come to you earlier," Chu Zhengran said, "I shouldn’t have let you endure so much grievance."

Qin Xia looked at him and shook her head, saying, "You didn’t know about these things."

"I should have known, I... should have thought of it," Chu Zhengran said self-reproachfully.

"If you could have thought of it, you wouldn’t be Chu Zhengran," Qin Xia said.

Chu Zhengran looked at her.

Qin Xia also looked at him, and after a while she smiled and said, "You... how should I put it? You were too innocent back then. Always gave me the feeling that if you were a girl, you’d definitely be deceived."

Chu Zhengran: "......"

"I actually thought the heavens severed your romantic prospects; you’re really blank when it comes to feelings," Qin Xia said.

Mr. Chu’s face darkened again.

Qin Xia said, "What’s the matter? Are you not convinced or what?"

Chu Zhengran really wanted to argue, but he couldn’t find the words.

"Tell me, wasn’t it me who initiated the love affair? Wasn’t it me who initiated the kiss?" Qin Xia spoke softly, dissecting piece by piece, "Wasn’t it me who initiated sleeping together?"

Chu Zhengran pursed his lips and couldn’t say a word.

"Except for being moved, wasn’t everything else guided by me?" Qin Xia asked.

Chu Zhengran still couldn’t speak.

"So, Chu Zhengran, I never thought too highly of your family back then. The kind of ’good’ I mean is the type with power and influence," Qin Xia said, "Because in my understanding, having a good family background with money, power, and influence must mean having been exposed to the big world in all aspects. How could you be so innocent?"

Chu Zhengran seemed to be struck dumb, no sound came out.

Qin Xia continued, "Don’t even mention your early twenties, eighteen or nineteen, you shouldn’t be that innocent."

Chu Zhengran looked at her, paused for a few seconds, and finally spoke, saying two words: "Upholding etiquette."

Qin Xia: "......"

Indeed, upholding etiquette.

Or perhaps she didn’t describe it quite right.

He wasn’t too innocent; he was too polite.

And he especially respected her.

Respected her to the point where, at that time, Qin Xia could feel how much he liked her.

But after more than a month, their progress remained at the holding hands stage.

Just... Chu Zhengran would rather dig out his heart for her.

Taking care of her in every possible way.

Whether it’s daily life, occasional surprises, or gifts he gave.

But he wouldn’t even touch a fingertip of yours.

Qin Xia felt that if she hadn’t taken the initiative.

Chu Zhengran would definitely wait until after the formal betrothal and marriage to do anything to her.

And at the time, he was in such an open-minded foreign country.

Qin Xia paused for a moment and said, "Then why didn’t you uphold them later?"

Chu Zhengran looked at the subtle smile in her eyes and didn’t speak again.

The smile in Qin Xia’s eyes deepened, and she asked again, "Why didn’t you uphold them?"

The expression in Chu Zhengran’s eyes deepened, and suddenly he asked back, "What do you think?"

Qin Xia laughed, and after laughing for a while, she said, "I know. My charm is too great."

Qin Xia was a person completely opposite to him.

Maybe it was because of different living environments.

Qin Xia’s thoughts were very open-minded.

She would never restrain her desires, she went with her heart.

Moreover, the more Chu Zhengran engaged in pure love with her.

The more she wanted to "dirty" him.

All of it was initiated by her.

Some things she even taught him.

And men are always naturally intuitive in these aspects, understanding at the slightest hint.

Afterwards, things became unstoppable.

He turned into the present Chu Zhengran.

Qin Xia felt that Madam Chu didn’t like her partly for these reasons.

In this relationship, Qin Xia had always been in the leading position.

Chu Zhengran completely followed her lead.

His feelings deepened with every action she took.

So, Qin Xia suddenly withdrew and left.

This relationship suddenly lost its direction for Chu Zhengran.

He liked Qin Xia but didn’t know how to like her, or how to get close.

He took step after step to get back to Qin Xia.

This process took him several years.

Chu Zhengran watched Qin Xia laugh.

Such a pure face, yet the contrast with her character was stark.

Qin Xia laughed for a while before noticing Chu Zhengran watching her with a composed expression. After a while, she suddenly got up and kissed him on the lips.

A soft touch, and Qin Xia didn’t immediately pull away.

She paused for a few seconds and lightly pressed his lips.

Mr. Chu’s mind instantly went blank.

For a moment, he didn’t know what had happened.

He only felt a softness on his lips, a tingling sensation quickly spreading to his heart.

His whole body gently trembled.

When he came to his senses, and reached out to hug Qin Xia, she suddenly pulled away. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But Chu Zhengran didn’t intend to let her go.

He held her arm and pulled her back.

Qin Xia was pulled back.

But Qin Xia raised her hand and covered his lips, looking at him and said, "What are you doing?"

Chu Zhengran looked at her in confusion.

Underneath the confusion, there was a faint desire and hope on the verge of exploding.

Qin Xia, in a calm voice, said slowly, "Men and women shouldn’t touch."

Chu Zhengran frowned, his hope extinguished.

Qin Xia lowered her hand from his mouth, looking at him said, "Our current relationship isn’t suitable for such intimate gestures."

Chu Zhengran said, "Then what were you doing just now?"

This voice carried a bit of frustrated impatience.

Qin Xia smiled and said, "I was being a rogue."

Chu Zhengran: "......"

Qin Xia laughed out loud and said, "I can, you can’t. I’ll accuse you of rape."

Chu Zhengran was again left speechless.

Qin Xia was in a good mood, she broke free from his hand, stretched lazily and said, "Ah, it’s so easy to feel sleepy when there’s nothing going on. I’ll go sleep some more."

Chu Zhengran watched as she stretched, revealing a bit of her waist beneath the pajamas.

So slender and fair.

His hands still retained the memory of touch.

He rubbed his fingertips.

It felt as if he was fixed on the bed, motionless.

He dared not move.

He was afraid if he moved, some things would get out of control.

Aiming to pursue her.

Since she hadn’t shown an attitude.

He couldn’t just go along once more in a muddled way and do something again.

He watched Qin Xia leave.

He watched as Qin Xia was about to pass by the curtain to the other side when suddenly a loud bang sounded outside.

All the windows in the ward trembled with it, producing a vibrating sound.

Sitting on the bed, Chu Zhengran could feel the tremor of the ground.

Qin Xia was startled, standing still.

Chu Zhengran quickly went to her side, swiftly pulling her into his arms, protecting her head, and walked her a few steps to the side.

This was the fastest Mr. Chu had moved since he got injured.

The sound and tremor quickly passed, and the night quietened down again.

Qin Xia was held in Chu Zhengran’s embrace, and after a while, she peeked out her head to look at the light above where she had just been standing.

Luckily that lamp only swayed a few times.

If it had fallen, Chu Zhengran would have ended up in the hospital again.

Qin Xia looked at Chu Zhengran, and Chu Zhengran touched her head, saying: "It’s okay."

Qin Xia, still a bit shaken, said: "Wasn’t that an earthquake?"

"No," Chu Zhengran, still holding her without letting go, said, "Something exploded somewhere."
