Chapter 657: Let's Rest Early Today
About ten minutes later, Su Chen had tidied up all the pots and pans, and when he turned around, he saw Lin Ruoxue still staring at him from the kitchen doorway, which he found quite strange.
Because normally at this time, she would have already gone upstairs to work.
"Wife, why are you looking at me like that?"
With a mischievous smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, Su Chen said,
"Have you suddenly realized how handsome your husband is and can't help yourself?"
"Narcissist!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxue spat out and then turned to head upstairs.
As she turned around, she seemed to say casually,
"Go to bed early today."
After hearing this, Su Chen was somewhat taken aback. What did Lin Ruoxue mean by that?
It sounded very ordinary and common, but Su Chen felt that there was something strange about the way Lin Ruoxue said it, although he couldn't quite put his finger on what was odd.
He couldn't help but look up at Lin Ruoxue's retreating figure and saw that she didn't enter her study as usual but instead went directly into their bedroom, which made him even more suspicious that something was amiss!
Suddenly, a bright idea struck Su Chen's mind like a bolt of lightning, and he smacked his own forehead!
"I'm such an idiot!"
At the same time, his entire face lit up with a feverish glow!
After entering the room, Lin Ruoxue found herself in a fluttering panic.
One moment she was somewhat afraid Su Chen might come in suddenly, and the next she wondered if he hadn't understood her hint.
Her face unwittingly reddened, and suddenly, a series of hurried "thud thud thud" footsteps sounded from the staircase.
These footsteps seemed to resonate in Lin Ruoxue's heart, her own heart leaping to the beat of the "thud thud thud" as if it had reached her throat.
"Creak!"
A short while later, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Lin Ruoxue's heart couldn't help but flutter.
She glanced sideways slightly and saw a face grinning cheekily, aglow with brightness, standing at the door.
"Wife, I'm here!"
Su Chen said with a nervous grin.
Not just Lin Ruoxue, even a seasoned player like Su Chen felt a tinge of nervousness at this moment!
"Mhm."
Lin Ruoxue nodded faintly, her voice tiny as a mosquito's.
"Wife, a single moment of springtime is worth a thousand pieces of gold, let's get started."
Su Chen wrapped his arms around Lin Ruoxue's waist and chuckled with a bit of a leer.
"Get started with what?"
Lin Ruoxue feigned ignorance.
"Wife, when you said go to bed early, weren't you hinting at something? I get it!"
Su Chen's lips curved with a devilishly charming smile.
"Not at all. I've just been quite tired recently and wanted to rest early, that's all,"
Lin Ruoxue saw his charming smile and felt an inexplicable tremor in her heart, hastily denying it.
Though she had made up her mind, at the moment of truth, she was still nervous and instinctively wanted to deny it.
Su Chen, seeing Lin Ruoxue's face, as dewy and ripe as a peach ready to drip with juice, knew full well she was just being stubborn for show.
"Is that so? Well then, I'll just go downstairs and read a magazine,"
Su Chen pursed his lips, putting on a disappointed face as if he was about to leave, but the corner of his mouth revealed a sly smile.
Seeing that he really was going to leave, Lin Ruoxue became even more panicked!
This guy always used to be shameless, so why was he being so accommodating today? The moment she said it, he was ready to leave!
"Wait!"
Lin Ruoxue's somewhat flustered voice rang out from behind Su Chen.
"Wife, is there anything else?"
Su Chen turned his head to look at Lin Ruoxue, a picture of innocence on his face.
Seeing that expression on his face made Lin Ruoxue's teeth itch with irritation.
"This... this..."
Lin Ruoxue looked at him, and for a moment, didn't quite know how to speak, a sense of urgency growing in her heart.
"What 'this'?"
Su Chen blinked his eyes as he asked.
"This, let's... let's just give it a try."
Lin Ruoxue, with tempting yet thin lips, murmured as she hung her head low.
While saying this, she didn't dare to look into Su Chen's eyes and merely stared down at the ground.
Su Chen was taken aback, "Wife, what do you mean? What 'give it a try'?"
Upon hearing his remark, Lin Ruoxue immediately flared up with irritation. This guy had just taken the initiative to bring 'that' up, and now he was playing dumb!
"Nothing, go back to reading your magazine!"
Lin Ruoxue spit out crossly, her chest heaving with anger, then prepared to go to bed to rest!
She'd given him an opportunity, and if he didn't want it, so be it!
"Ah~"
However, just at that moment, she was suddenly lifted from behind by someone, her feet leaving the ground, and she let out a startled cry.
Immediately after, she found herself in Su Chen's arms, the man grinning mischievously at her with a playful smile curling up at the corner of his mouth!
"You bad guy, jerk, you big jerk!"
Lin Ruoxue swung her fists at Su Chen, punching him all over.
By now, she fully understood that this man was just playing with her, which made her feel both embarrassed and furious!
"Alright, a perfect time should not be wasted, let's make the most of it!"
Su Chen gently placed Lin Ruoxue on the bed, then leaned down...
"Wait a minute!"
Lin Ruoxue suddenly propped herself up with both hands.
At this point, Su Chen was genuinely puzzled—could his wife be having second thoughts?
"I'm going to take a shower first!"
Lin Ruoxue stood up, then, with clothes in hand, made her way towards the bathroom...
Meanwhile, Su Chen lay sprawled across the bed, feeling truly excited. At this moment, he had quite the feeling of 'after the clouds scatter, the moon appears'!
He'd been guarding such a beautiful woman, and had not 'devoured' her up until today; he was almost impressed with himself!
Later on, when Lin Ruoxue came out, should he leave the lights on, or turn them off?
Nowadays, women seem to prefer it with the lights off. Lin Ruoxue had a thin skin and it was her first time. If he insisted on having the light on, would she throw a tantrum and refuse again?
As the seconds ticked by, Su Chen lay in bed lost in his thoughts, feeling his heartbeat unconsciously quicken.
"Better have a smoke to calm the nerves!"
Su Chen sat up, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.
Just as he was halfway through, a scent wafted over, causing Su Chen's heart to skip a beat. He straightened up his body quickly.
Then he saw Lin Ruoxue emerge from the bathroom, and his eyes widened instantly...
At that moment, Lin Ruoxue's long hair cascaded down her smooth shoulders and back, still somewhat damp.
Her face was flushed from the steamy heat, looking exquisitely delicate!
And she was wearing a purple silk nightgown that was soft and clingy, perfectly outlining her golden ratio figure!
Seeing this scene, Su Chen's eyes went blank, as if he'd seen an unparalleled treasure, his eyes seemed fixed in place, unable to move away...
