Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Qin Xin was almost moved!

But, her decision to divorce was not made on impulse. She had really thought it through carefully, made during her time in the countryside clearing her mind.

She pursed her lips and said softly, ”You can also do those things with others...”

Nalan Ye Jue’s breath tightened, his large hand grasped her slightly cool wrist: ”I can’t.”

The man’s hand exerted a bit of strength, but as soon as he realized she might feel pain, he immediately stopped himself and gently placed her wrist into his palm.

Such a slender wrist, he was truly afraid that if he let go, he would never be able to hold it again.

Qin Xin’s heartbeat lost its normal rhythm momentarily.

The man’s explanation was so firm, so decisive. Should she believe him?

”Have you really never done those things with others?” She couldn’t help but ask.

Nalan Ye Jue spoke seriously: ”Never. Except when my sister was sick with a fever and I took care of her... when she was very young.”

After Lan Qingxin was six years old, he hadn’t held her.

Other women? No chance of them entering his sight.

Qin Xin quietly pouted her lips and mumbled, ”Liar, what about the bathtub, what’s that all about?”

That vivid dream, the bathtub in the dream matched the one in his house.

Nalan Ye Jue was momentarily startled.

The little wife actually knew about the bathtub incident too?

No wonder she was so angry, wanting to annul the marriage contract.

He immediately explained with self-blame: ”Every year I have a period when an old ailment relapses, needing quiet rest. Last year when it happened, she barged in without permission, I was very angry, threatened her a bit and chased her out.”

Qin Xin: ”Just chased her out?”

Nalan Ye Jue nodded: ”I promise. Although I was emotionally agitated at the time, before losing my mind I made sure to throw her out of the room, and instructed Secretary Lu to send her back to the countryside for reflection.”

Suddenly feeling like a criminal, giving a full confession.

Yet he relished it, willing to explain every detail of her doubts.

Qin Xin quietly mulled over it.

What he said, and what she knew, almost matched.

He did not avoid the issue of Lan Qingxin, eager to explain everything to her upon meeting, wasn’t that quite sincere?

However, Master Tuantuan once said, men are very complex and multi-faceted beings, one must assess comprehensively and not believe easily.

She felt the master had a point.

”Let me think about it.” She said softly, ”It’s too late, you should go back first.”

Nalan Ye Jue hadn’t gotten her answer, but hearing she was willing to reconsider, he knew it was already her biggest concession, and slightly tightened his grip on her hand: ”Okay. I’ll come have breakfast with you tomorrow...”

Qin Xin: ”I’m going back to the group in the morning to handle some matters.”

The little woman’s outright rejection didn’t disappoint the man, as he had already considered it: ”Then it’ll be dinner. Xiao Shuang has athletic training for school in the afternoon, he wants us to have dinner together and ask for some tips on competition, it’s rare for the kid to want to join a team event, let’s not let him down.”

Qin Xin: ”Okay... alright.”

Nalan Ye Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

At a key moment, his kid brother-in-law was super supportive.

From now on, he must indulge his brother-in-law doubly.

The man slowly rose from the bed, somewhat reluctant: ”Then I’m leaving. You, get some sleep early.”

Qin Xin didn’t speak, just nodded.

Her eyes had completely adjusted to the dark room, she keenly noticed, the man was ”standing” up from the bedside, without using a wheelchair!
