Chapter 195 [Shi Yi 045] Is he really jealous?

Shi Wan understood; it meant that if she didn't want to, she didn't want to.

With that in mind, the only concern between the two of them disappeared.

The argument that night was actually quite inexplicable. Neither of them had clearly explained their thoughts, and neither of them was in a very clear-headed or rational state, which led to this situation.

The air hung still for a few seconds before Shi Wan asked suspiciously, "What if your mother..."

Yi Xu assured him, "You don't need to worry about that. I'll handle things at home. What happened to my mother last year won't happen again."

Shi Wan tapped her leg with her fingers and said slowly, "Then... we've made up."

"Not counting."

Shi Wan: ? ? ?
Yi Xu said quietly, "You haven't coaxed me yet."

Shi Wan looked shocked. "I...I'm coaxing you?"

"Shouldn't you? You've been ignoring me for almost half a month. If I don't steal this little thing today, are you planning to just cut ties with me like this?"

Seeing his self-righteous yet irritating expression, Shi Wan asked curiously, "Then why didn't you come to find me yourself?"

"You told me to get lost? I'll go back myself. Don't I have any dignity?"

"Then you steal it back, knowing I'll come looking for it. What's the difference between you and actively seeking it out?"

"Of course there is. It's a staircase, a staircase that leads to you and me, but you're the one who has to come looking for it."

"..."

Shi Wan was speechless, completely unable to understand his way of thinking.

“I know how important the princess is to you, and you will be reluctant to part with her, but you will be reluctant to part with me, and there is nothing I can do about it. Shi Wan, I am just trying to fight for the possibility of continuing with you.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Wan pursed her lips, stood up for a moment, then slowly walked over and stopped in front of him.

As Yi Xu looked up, she bent down and pressed her lips to his.

This was the first time Shi Wan had taken the initiative to kiss him since they met and started dating.

He used to be the one to kiss her first, and Shi Wan would respond later.

Yi Xu wasn't surprised, but his body still gave the most direct reaction. He stiffened for a moment, and when he felt the softness on his lips, a part of his heart instantly collapsed.

Yi Xu's originally deep and arrogant eyes were now filled with tenderness.

He pulled her into his arms, pressing one hand firmly against her lower back and the other against the back of her head, turning the tables and pressing his lips heavily against hers, deepening the kiss little by little.

The soft, tender breaths mingled and intertwined, casting a romantic glow over the large living room.

He had wanted to do this from the moment he opened the door and saw him.

I wanted to pin her against the wall, hold her tightly, possess her, and question her.

Does she really have feelings for him?

Is he someone she can disregard, someone who is completely unimportant?

But now all those doubts and anxieties have been soothed by this kiss.

Shi Wan sat on his lap, her arms wrapped around his neck, and the restlessness deep in her heart disappeared.

The two shared a very long kiss, devoid of any lust, simply to express their longing for each other.

"boom--"

The sudden noise startled the two passionately kissing, and they snapped back to reality in a daze.

Turning their heads, they saw the princess standing amidst a pile of shards, her two round eyes filled with innocence and pity. When she saw them looking over, she let out a pitiful cry.

"Meow~" "You're causing trouble again!" Shi Wan quickly got up from Yi Xu, walked over, and pulled her out of the shards. Pointing to the pieces scattered on the ground, she said, "Look what you've done! Why are you so naughty?"

Yi Xu chuckled and walked over. "It's just a vase. It's broken, so what? It's not worth much. Don't yell at it. Check if it's hurt. It's probably scared."

"fine."

Shi Wan looked it over and then picked it up from the pile of debris.

When she turned around, Yi Xu was nowhere to be seen. She walked to the shards, squatted down and picked up two pieces when a hurried footstep suddenly came. The next moment, her wrist was grabbed.

Why are you touching this?

Yi Xu, wearing a linen glove, took the shard from her hand, pulled her up with one hand, and gestured towards the sofa, "Come over there."

Shi Wan looked at his linen gloves with surprise, but still obediently walked away and sat on the sofa to watch him clean up the broken pieces of the vase.

"There are no flowers in this vase?"

"No," Yi Xu said. "I don't like flowers. Do you? If you do, we can buy a few more vases. Old Wen has a rose estate with a wide variety of roses. We can go and pick out a few that you like."

Shi Wan knew that Wen Qi had bought a rose estate for Ji Xuan.

Ji Xian had told her that.

She nodded, resting her chin on her hand, and asked, "What have you been busy with lately?"

"What could I be busy with? I went to France last week and stayed for five or six days. I even posted something on my WeChat Moments. Did you not see it?" Yi Xu turned to look at her.

“I don’t browse my WeChat Moments much.” Shi Wan blinked. “I have so many people on WeChat, and quite a few of them sell things. It’s too tiring for me to keep scrolling through them.”

Seeing him look away and continue picking up the broken pieces, she asked with a smile, "Hey, you didn't post this on social media on purpose to get my attention, did you?"

"Let me see what you posted."

Yi Xu did not deny what Shi Wan said. After picking up the pieces, he called a robot vacuum cleaner to clean the area so that no one would cut their feet.

Shi Wan took out her phone, opened WeChat, clicked on his profile picture to enter his Moments. Eight days ago, he did indeed post a GIF with a location tag, which was Paris, France.

There are two photos in total.

One photo shows a table full of foreign liquor, and the other is a group photo. It looks like a party with quite a few people, but the only difference is that Yi Xu is sitting next to two blonde, blue-eyed foreign beauties.

One of them had very delicate and beautiful features, and was wearing a strapless dress; her impressive cleavage was hard to ignore.

She and Yi Xu were standing close together, arm to arm, their eyes full of smiles.

Yi Xu's appearance is somewhat aggressive, and coupled with his innate noble and refined temperament, one can strangely see a certain compatibility between him and that foreign woman in the photo.

"What do you mean? Are you deliberately letting me know that you had a romantic encounter abroad? Do you want me to be jealous or do you want me to give you my blessings?"

Yi Xu took off his gloves and looked back at her expression, but he couldn't see any sign of anger.

After all this time, he knew her personality well, so he joked, "How do you plan to congratulate us?"

Shi Wan narrowed her eyes, stared at him for a moment, then immediately stood up and called to the princess, "Let's go home."

"Where are you going?" Yi Xu quickly grabbed her.

"Didn't you ask me to wish you both well? I'll go back and think about it carefully, and try to write you a 500-word blessing, how about that?"

Yi Xu chuckled, pulled her into his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Are you really jealous?"

Shi Wan patted his shoulder, "Let go!"

Yi Xu held her tightly, burying his face in the crook of her neck, his voice muffled, "How could I possibly let go?"
