Up to You - C188
I originally wanted to walk towards Peng Haobai, but I didn’t expect the person from An Fang to whisper in my ear. I turned around and saw Mu Huainan, who was leaning against a car and smoking on the other side of the road.
At some point in time, Peng Haobai came over to my side and patted my shoulder.
“Don’t be sarcastic.”
Peng Haobai’s laughter entered his ears, and then, caught off guard, he leaned over and kissed his on the cheek.
I was stunned.
When I reacted, Mu Huainan was already walking towards me.
It’s over, it’s all over. I didn’t have time to scold Peng Haobai as I wholeheartedly pushed him to leave.
“Hurry up and leave!” I pushed him. “I’ll go when you get married!”
Peng Haobai was extremely unwilling and refused to leave no matter how he tried.
“What, I can’t beat your Mu Huainan?”
“Peng Haobai, stop messing around!”
Before he finished speaking, Mu Huainan had already walked over.
Someone pulled me from behind and I fell into his arms.
“Time to go home.”
He was cold.
“Alright.” I was extremely obedient, afraid that he would vent his anger on Peng Haobai.
He didn’t expect that since he didn’t even say anything, and didn’t even look at Peng Haobai, he pulled me away.
Peng Haobai, this guy, shouted from behind me with a heavy tone.
“Xiao Wei! You must remember our agreement. ”
My body stiffened, the arm Mu Huainan held onto my shoulder tightened, causing me to feel some pain.
He didn’t say a word to me all the way across the street from the school gate to the car.
“Uncle Huainan.”
I knew he was angry, and called him uncle as softly as he had when he was a child. But he didn’t seem to eat the set, nor did he react. He started the engine and drove away.
I was slammed into the back of the chair by the force of the car. I looked at him and didn’t seem to react.
“It hurts!”
I frowned and complained, but that didn’t seem to make him look at me.
“Mu Huainan, are you done yet?!” I glared at him. “Peng Haobai is getting married, I’m accompanying him to school to send my teacher an invitation. What’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong?” Mu Huainan said with a smile that was not a smile: “You should get involved in matters like giving out invitations, shouldn’t you?”
I knew I was in the wrong and kept my head down.
It was quiet along the way. The car didn’t return to He Fang. Instead, it went back to the villa that we had always lived in.
He wouldn’t even talk to me.
As I watched Mu Huainan go in, I pulled his subordinates who followed behind me and asked, “How did you know I was in the Treant High School?”
“Mr. Mou caught up with you after you took that carriage and left.”
So he’s been waiting at the school gate for hours? No wonder he was so angry.
I followed him in. When he opened the door, he went up to the second floor and stayed in the study room. He was watching TV in the living room, accompanied by Shen Xiuyuan.
I nodded.
Shen Xiuyuan understood: “Then I’ll be leaving first, I’ll leave the rest to you.”
“Alright, be careful along the way.”
After Shen Xiuyuan left, I carried Jiu Jiu back to her room to sleep, coaxing her to sleep. I cut open the fruit plate before quietly going up to the second floor and knocking on the door of the study.
There was no answer, so I pushed the door open.
He was looking at the papers, thick and stacked, just like before.
“Uncle Huainan.”
I put the plate on his desk. “Don’t work too hard. Eat some fruit.”
He didn’t even raise his eyes.
I had no choice but to kneel in front of him with my hands on the table and my head resting on his hands. I looked at him with watery eyes: “Uncle Huainan, will you accompany me to take a bath?”
He finally looked up at me, a little shaken.
But after looking at me for a while, his cheeks puffed up as if he remembered something. He gritted his teeth in anger and lowered his head again, ignoring me.
It had to be said that this fellow’s angry appearance was incredibly childish.
Like an angry schoolboy.
There was no use in me admitting it, acting cute and ignoring it. There’s really no other way. If he insists on getting angry, I won’t be able to treat him either.
“Fine.” I stood up. “Then I’ll go wash myself.”
I left the door open on purpose.
Instead of going to the bathroom on the first floor, I took a shower in the bathroom next to his on the second floor.
The bathroom here is next to his study room, and I don’t believe he can stand the sound of the water running through it.
When I was young, he had always pestered me to bathe with him. In a flash, so many years had passed. Although it was to curry favor with him and not make him angry, in the end, he still couldn’t help but reminisce.
He was almost done bathing, but the person in the study next to him was still not moving at all.
What did this old fellow mean! Could it be that I was no longer attracted to him as a mother? Hot water rushed to my head, and the more I thought about it, the more crooked it became. I almost put myself in the category of Obasan, afraid that he would dislike me because I was getting old and not wanting me anymore.
After all, in those days, when he was still growing up, I had just reached adulthood.
Now.
They were all people that were about to reach their thirties.
I looked at the bottles and jars on the bathroom shelf.
“Crash.”
I pushed all the bottles and jars on the first floor to the floor.
I was stunned.
In a few seconds, I heard footsteps and a faint shadow at the door.
He leaned against the doorway and called, “Anthea?”
I quietly looked at the mess on the floor. I felt extremely embarrassed and didn’t dare to reply.
This time, Mu Huainan was anxious.
The hand that knocked on the door became much stronger.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
“An’an!”
“I’m fine!” I panicked and replied, “Don’t come in!”
He hoped that he wouldn’t come in when he came in, but when he didn’t, he couldn’t resist, so he turned the handle and opened the door.
I was curled up in the tub, my hair half wet and curling around my shoulders, and I turned to look at him, my cheeks red, not sure if it was the steam from the bathroom or the shyness of disgrace.
I was helpless, like a cat in the water.
He watched from the doorway and held it in for a moment. In the end, he laughed out loud.
He asked me, “What? You want to rebel?”
“Get out of here!”
He turned and did not go out. Instead, he locked the door.
Then he turned back to me, kicked the bottles and jars off the floor, and sat down on the edge of the tub.
He looked down at me, and the heat in the tank rose, turning the light to a vague warm yellow, and a moment later his brow was filled with steam.
Look at me through a mist.
I reached out and rubbed my head like a cat.
“Damn.” Annoyed, I ducked out of the way and sank into the water.
Suddenly he looked at me and smiled.
Laughing to the point that I felt flustered, I simply regretted inviting him to take a bath. He is a fox and a tiger, how can I take the initiative to provoke him?
He leaned over to kiss me, and I couldn’t help moving to the other side of the tub, so I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him hard.
When he had kissed me enough, he released me and continued to smile at me.
I felt scared. I couldn’t take a bath anymore. He was going to eat me.
I stood up and tried to get out with the towel wrapped around me. I half straightened up to reach the towel, but he suddenly grabbed me by the wrist.
The ground was slippery, so no matter how Mu Huainan sat on the side of the bathtub, he couldn’t sit steadily. He was pulled away from the water and poured into the water while swaying left and right.
Between my ears and temples, my cold body pressed against the front hall, warm air covered my eyes, water splashed out.
This was really over.
The bathtub was so small, with two people on it. He pressed me down and didn’t seem to want to leave.
I pushed him.
“Stop messing around.”
His hand moved slowly down my waist. I felt an itch, and my body shook.
“Mu Huainan… “Don’t…”
The more he moved, the softer I became to the point that I couldn’t speak.
As he got closer and closer, he pressed his body against me and remained motionless. He bit my earlobe and dubiously said, “What did I do?”
He was wearing a simple white shirt that was now soaked through and stuck to his body, the lines of his muscles faintly visible.
I couldn’t help but swallow.
He opened his mouth again, “Don’t say it. Your method of admitting your wrongs is not bad at all.”
… ….
His way of admitting his wrongs…
When I heard his tone, I couldn’t help but feel weird. I simply wanted to help him shower and apologize. This guy couldn’t be …
“I think you may have misunderstood something.”
“There’s no misunderstanding.” He quickly took off his clothes.
He threw his arms around my waist.
He held me naked in the air for two seconds, making me scream in the cold. He grinned widely and leaned against the other side of the bathtub before he pulled me into his arms.
He confidently said, “Isn’t it just bathing together?”
“Hmm …” I bitterly smiled as I tried to straighten my body to get out. “I mean, let’s wash our own. If you can’t wash your back, I can help you.” He then said the last two words in a more serious tone, “It’s just that.”
He didn’t let me go. He held my shoulders in his arms, pressed his mouth against my forehead, and said softly, “Eh?”
My heart was in disarray, the damp water, the misty eyes, the smell of him, the tenderness of his mouth.
It made my heart itch.
I couldn’t resist calling out to him, my voice trembling with the charm of a woman.
“Uncle Huainan…”
Suddenly he couldn’t help it. He took me in his arms and kissed me.
My body shook, and my brain tried to remind me that I was trying to break free, but my body wouldn’t obey, and I fell on top of him.
He wouldn’t let go an inch, it was so hot that my whole body felt like it was on fire.
His hand slowly slipped to the scar on my thigh, then stopped.
That was the knife scar from last time I was kidnapped.
As I was feeling sore all over, he suddenly stopped, making me uncomfortable.
I reached into the water and wrapped my arms around his waist.
“Hurry up…”
His low laughter, filled with heat, made me shiver all over.
It wasn’t until I felt him come with the hot water that I felt as if I’d been scalded with a soldering iron.
I lifted my head and whined. Hot water flew out of my mouth and my body went numb.
The entire bathroom was filled with a wave of dejection.
In my stupor, I was played with by him without a shred of energy remaining. He’s done playing and he’s holding me tight, I heard him say through the confusion.
“I forgive you.”
Damn it!
He put his arms around me again and kissed me frantically.
He was so nervous that he could barely breathe. His low and hoarse voice floated past my ears. I heard him say, “In the future, if anyone dares to have any ideas about you, I will make them die without a burial ground.”
