Gain A Cute Wife By “Kidnap”

Chapter 262

C262 – The Blushing Ann Yichen

Loong Xiaoyi: “What’s the hurry? We’ve got plenty of time.”

Ann Yichen’s demeanor swiftly became icy, “What are you implying? Have you grown weary of me?”

Upon hearing this, Loong Xiaoyi chuckled and tenderly stroked Ann Yichen’s face, saying, “Impossible. You’ve been quite occupied lately, haven’t you? Later on, I need to attend to some matters, but for now, I’ll stay by your side a bit longer before driving you.”

Initially upset, Ann Yichen relaxed upon hearing these words.

“Fine! But remember, next time you try to escape, I won’t let you off so easily.”

“My only fear was that you’d be the one to leave.”

With a smile, Ye Zichen scooped up Ann Yichen and carried him to the bedroom.

Suddenly, Ann Yichen became silent, merely gazing at Loong Xiaoyi.

“What’s the matter?” inquired Loong Xiaoyi, filled with curiosity.

Ann Yichen turned away, pridefully commenting, “It’s nothing. I’ve just noticed you’ve grown up a lot since five years ago. You used to be so naive, pestering me daily after that incident with the Forbidden Fruit. Now, you seem to understand me better.”

“The Forbidden Fruit?”

Loong Xiaoyi felt awkward, as Ann Yichen’s remarks were often quite direct.

“Is that so? You did something secretly, and Huangfu Qiao found out.”

He didn’t deny it. But what about your promises?

“Speaking of Huangfu Qiao, isn’t he with Huangfu Shao now? Are they in China?” Loong Xiaoyi adeptly shifted the conversation.

“Huangfu Shao is always so busy, constantly on the move. He must be out and about with his partner.”

Ann Yichen, caught up in the conversation, didn’t realize Loong Xiaoyi was diverting the topic.

“He’d be thrilled to know Xiaojie is back. He’s been searching for Xiaojie for years.” Loong Xiaoyi helped Ann Yichen out of bed.

Ann Yichen, catching on, fixed Loong Xiaoyi with a look. “Why are you changing the subject?”

“Ah, I’ve caught you out!”

“All those past events are behind us, aren’t they? Huangfu Qiao saw what he saw. After all, he’d likely do the same with his elder brother, wouldn’t he? What’s there to be embarrassed about?”

“Embarrassed? I’m talking about your escapades at school, which still make me cringe to think about.”

“I see! So, you’re saying you can’t help but think of me during your classes!”

Loong Xiaoyi’s grin widened, knowing that the classroom where Ann Yichen taught was also where they had their misadventures.

Ann Yichen’s cheeks turned red, perhaps acknowledging the truth in Loong Xiaoyi’s words. Memories of their past deeds flooded his mind, as vivid as yesterday.

“You’re blushing! What’s the matter?” Loong Xiaoyi teased, knowingly.

He then playfully pushed Ann Yichen down and lifted his chin, forcing eye contact, all the while smiling.

Ann Yichen swatted his hand away, saying anxiously, “It’s nothing, I just want to sleep,” before covering himself with the blanket, possibly continuing to blush underneath.

He was endearingly shy, a contrast to his earlier boldness.

“If you’re nostalgic, I wouldn’t mind dressing up in a school uniform for a little role-play. How does that sound?”

Peeking under the quilt, Loong Xiaoyi proposed the idea with a charming smile.

Ann Yichen couldn’t resist Loong Xiaoyi’s captivating smile and fell for the suggestion.

“Well, I suppose I can indulge you this once, if you insist.”

His voice carried its usual haughtiness, yet it was clear he was teetering on the edge of capitulation.
