Chapter 26 He Has a Secret
Shen Manting was defeated by his behavior. She turned off the lights helplessly and lay down with him. It was strange that although she couldnât fall asleep just now, now that Xue Chenkong was beside her, she slowly calmed down and fell asleep without realizing
it.
The man who was still waiting for her to coax him was stunned. He rolled over and looked at the woman who was sleeping soundly with a depressed expression.
He was still angry, so why was she asleep? ! Tears welled up in Xue Chenkongâs eyes, and he felt even more upset. However, as he looked at the beautiful girl beside him, he felt that she was his precious treasure. It would be great if she only belonged to him. Xue Chenkongâs expression became stubborn. He shouted in his mind over and over again, causing him to lose his mind. Numbly taking out a pair of handcuffs from the bedside, he grabbed her snow-white hands and ruthlessly locked them. That way, his girl would never be able to escape.
The uneasiness in his heart calmed down, but his eyes were filled with stubbornness. His older brother, Xue Chenqian, had told him before that he was so fascinated with her only because he had not gotten her. Once he got her, she would feel like nothing special.
But Xue Chenqian was wrong, because only he himself knew that his possessiveness of Shen Manting only increased, not decrease. Shen Manting had long become his flesh and blood, so how could he throw her out?
âMy Ah Ting⦠â Xue Chenkong lowered his head and kissed her body over and over again. Finally, he hugged her and fell asleep.
In the morning, the golden sunlight woke Shen Manting up. She furrowed her delicate eyebrows and slowly got up. Why did she still feel so tired after a nightâs sleep? She raised her hand subconsciously, but she suddenly heard the sound of chains clanging. Shen Manting was dumbfounded when she heard the sound. She slowly turned to look at the source of the sound, and the next second, her face turned pale.
At that time, the man beside her also woke up. His voice was magnetic and lazy. âAh Ting, youâre awake?â
Shen Mantingâs blood was boiling with anger. âUntie me immediately!â
âWhatâs wrong? â Xue Chenkong looked at her nervously.
Shen Manting knew that he was playing dumb. She said coldly, âUnchain me!â
The smile on Xue Chenkongâs face slowly stiffened. He turned over and got out of bed. âAh Ting, sleep a little longer. Iâll go cook for you.â After saying that, he left as if he was running away.
Shen Manting stared at the tightly shut bedroom door. She was so angry that her mind was in a daze. She thought that as long as she coaxed him, she would be able to slowly correct the scene in her dream, but he still did it! In spite of her anger, Shen Manting still tried her best to think of a way to deal with it. Forcing it was not a solutionâ¦
When Xue Chenkong arrived on the first floor in his sleeping robe, the servants lowered their heads carefully.
âAll of you, disperse, âXue Chenkong said coldly. The servants left in a hurry. The Butler, Mr. Yuan, stayed behind and asked, âMr. Chenkong, do you want to personally make breakfast for the young lady?â He had watched Xue Chenkong grow up, so he had more authority than the other servants.
âYes. âXue Chenkong nodded.
âDo you need any help? â Mr. Yuan looked at him worriedly.
âNo!â Xue Chenkongâs expression turned even uglier, and he seemed to have lost his patience.
Mr. Yuan knew that he was being talkative, so he left respectfully. He had been watching Xue Chenkong learning to cook recently, but he didnât know if it was a good thing or a bad thing Before long, Xue Chenkong cooked a bowl of lean meat stew, a fried egg, three small meat buns, and a plate of golden fried dumplings. He then brought them to Shen Manting excitedly.
Shen Manting took a glance at the blisters on his hands, which were more eye-catching than the breakfast itself. It was obvious that he had just scalded them. She was very angry at first, but seeing him like that, she couldnât help but feel her heart ache. Forget it, why bother with him? It wasnât like she didnât know that he was different from others! She should have been more patient. She looked at the meat bun that he carefully handed to her and ate it in one bite. It was not that she was not refined, but the little bun was sized completely according to the shape of her mouth.
âItâs delicious.â Her expression was a little stiff, but she still smiled sweetly.
Xue Chenkong was a little flattered by her smile. He had been prepared to be scolded by her, but he did not expect that she would not only not cry or make a fuss, but instead smile at him.
Shen Manting ate another bun. âYou should eat some too. Youâve made too much. I canât finish it.â
Xue Chenkong studied her expression and saw that she was really not angry. He finished the last bun and suddenly spat it out. âStop eating. Hurry up and throw up! The meat inside isnât cooked yet⦠Youâll get a stomachache.â
Of course, Shen Manting knew that it wasnât cooked yet. There was the strong smell of uncooked beef, but she still swallowed it. âAs long as itâs made by you, I think itâs delicious, â she said.
As he looked at Shen Mantingâs expression, Xue Chenkongâs eyes teared up even more. With a guilty look on his face, he asked, âAre you not angry at me anymore, Ah Ting?â
