Xie Xuanchen pulled it out carefully, for fear of it tangling onto Mu Mingtangâs hair. Gradually, the jewellery pieces in the bun decreased and finally, she pulled out the last jade hairpin, resulting in her long hair falling down like a waterfall. Xie Xuanchen watched as Mu Mingtang combed her hair to smoothen it as he tickled a lock of her long hair, playing with it between his fingers.
Mu Mingtang took it back several times but her actions were to no avail, so she could only let him do what he wanted. She combed her hair, looked at the mirror and let out a long sigh of relief.
âWe finally came back. Iâm almost exhausted from standing with such heavy jewellery all day.â
Seeing this, Xie Xuanchen pressed the back of Mu Mingtangâs head and slowly kneaded the acupuncture points for her, âThank you for your hard work, it will be better after a few days.â
Mu Mingtangâs long hair was all loose now and Xie Xuanchenâs fingers ran through it. Like flowing water flowing around his fingertips, her hair was soft and smooth, making his heart itch. Mu Mingtang didnât pay attention to this as she took a handkerchief and looked at Xie Xuanchen from the mirror when she heard this, âIâm tired, but not because of the banquet.âNe/w novel chapters are published on
Xie Xuanchen didnât answer these words. He smiled without saying a word and saw Mu Mingtang wet the handkerchief. He asked curiously, âWhat are you going to do with that?â
âRemove the lipstick on my mouth,â Mu Mingtang didnât care as she replied casually, âIâm going to take a shower later, so the makeup on my face must be wiped off first.â
âThatâs right, the morning celebration canât be delayed,â Xie Xuanchen said and hugged Mu Mingtang directly in this posture, âSo we have to hurry up and not waste time.â
Mu Mingtang was suddenly lifted into the air as she subconsciously wrapped her arms around Xie Xuanchenâs shoulders. The feeling of emptiness on her back made her panic, so she could only hug Xie Xuanchenâs shoulders while complaining, âLet go, I still have to take a bath.â
âWhy assume that youâre not going to?â Xie Xuanchen murmured to himself, âIt would be better for us to have water.â
Mu Mingtang was shocked when Xie Xuanchen carried her to the cleaning room and suddenly felt a sense of crisis, âWhat are you going to do?â
âDonât be afraid, itâs just exactly what you think,â Xie Xuanchen had already walked into the cleaning room. When he first built the mansion, he wanted nothing less than extravagance, so even the cleaning room had a luxurious bathing pool with special water supply pipes. At this moment, hot water has been put in the bath and the temperature was suitable. Xie Xuanchen placed Mu Mingtang on the high stool aside and said to himself, âI donât believe that I can still make bruises on you today.â
Xie Xuanchen was a person who neither admitted defeat nor lacked the ability to execute. If something failed to meet expectations, then he would practise over and over again, which meant that there would always come a day when it would be perfect.
If he still couldnât, it only meant that he wasnât practising hard enough or he had many ways left to try.
