Han Qing did not reply to her.
Hence, Yan cast her eyes up at him and noticed that he had hardened his jaw, looking stern.
Is he angry with me now? Or does he feel embarrassed to let people see that I’m hanging on him like a koala? Yan was in regret. Maybe I shouldn’t have been so stubborn in the first place. What would possibly happen when I’m just temporarily left alone? Worse comes to worst, I could have just walked downstairs with him. What’s wrong with me for not wanting to get off him? He must feel so embarrassed for letting people see this!
When Yan was still letting her mind wander, the delivery man had put all the food on the table. He said to Han Qing before leaving, “Hope you all enjoy your meal. I’m leaving now.”
Thud!
Even though the door had been closed, Yan still remained in Han Qing’s arms and he did not move an inch too. After a while, Yan looked up again and asked timidly, “D-Don’t you want to eat?”
Upon hearing her voice, Han Qing lowered his head and fixed his gaze on her.
His gaze made her scalp tingle as it resembled that of a beast eyeing its prey.
Hence, she blinked and avoided his gaze. “I-I was just asking. It doesn’t matter whether you want to eat or not—Mmph!”
Before she could finish her sentence, Yan could feel a warm breath approaching and then her lips were covered by Han Qing’s. This made Yan’s back hit on the door, but she did not feel pain because Han Qing had put his arm behind her back to shield her from the impact.
Meanwhile, he used his other hand to lift up her chin, forcing her to accept this passionate and fierce kiss. He took her full on her lips like he had never done so before, making her feel overwhelmed and dazed; she had nowhere to escape from this fiery onslaught of his.
Previously when they were walking downstairs, Han Qing still looked indifferent as though it was nothing. When Yan spoke to him later, he had also put on a poker face and looked as though he was angry. Little did Yan know that he was just waiting for this moment.
As they had been busy with preparing their wedding, they did not have much time to get so intimate lately. It was out of Yan’s expectation that he would kiss her so fiercely without hesitation. This made her feel overwhelmed while being pressed against the door.
However, the best thing about this kiss was that Yan had managed to overcome the trauma of the day’s incident. This was probably his charm because the last time when she was shocked, she had also recovered right after being kissed by him.
She had no idea how long they had been kissing before Han Qing finally pulled back. At this moment, Yan had already become weak all over and she could only stand properly under Han Qing’s support.
While holding her in his arms, Han Qing brought her to the couch and helped her tidy her clothes and hair. Although he was still breathing heavily just now, he had actually regained his usual composure at this moment.
Meanwhile, Yan’s face was still blushed, and her breathing even quickened after Han Qing began helping her with her hair and clothes. She was too bashful to raise her head and meet his gaze.
The couple sat quietly for almost five minutes.
“Do you want to eat now?” he asked suggestively.
Yan nodded slowly.
“Can you walk by yourself?”
Upon hearing this, Yan immediately got out of Han Qing’s arms, then she said angrily, “Of course, I can.”
With that, she turned around and was going to walk toward the dining table. However, her legs weakened again after walking for a few steps. Just when she was falling down, a pair of arms reached out and held her in time.
“Let me bring you there.” Although he sounded as calm as usual, Yan could see the glint of amusement in his eyes after casting her eyes up. This made her blush as she attempted to find an excuse for herself. “I-I think that I can’t walk by myself because I’ve missed too many meals. I’m starving now.”
“Oh.” Han Qing only grunted indifferently after listening to her explanation. Then, he lifted her up effortlessly and walked to the dining table.
It was out of Yan’s expectation that she would only get this response after explaining to him. This made her feel more frustrated. Oh? What does he mean with this?
“I’m saying the truth. After I’d reached home in the afternoon, I’d been sleeping until just now and I hadn’t eaten anything. That’s why I think that low blood sugar is the reason behind my weakened legs. I didn’t…”
When she was still explaining, Han Qing suddenly landed his gaze on her. “Shall we drink some soup first?”
Yan was taken aback, then she saw Han Qing taking a bowl of soup to her. What does he mean with this? He didn’t take my explanation seriously at all. Why do I feel that I’m just making up excuses now?
Thinking about this, Yan became exasperated. “I don’t want to drink anymore. Don’t take it for me.”
“You don’t want to drink the soup anymore?”
“Yes!”
It was so frustrating that he just let her talk but did not listen to her at all.
Han Qing pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes at her. She couldn’t fathom what he was thinking about, but he seemed to her as though he was making a decision.
After a while, he suddenly put down his bowl and started taking off his suit jacket.
Yan did not think much about it as she thought that he just wanted to take off his suit for dinner. Little did she know that he would begin unbuttoning his shirt after putting his suit jacket on the chair aside.
At first, Yan still remained in her seat. When he had unbuttoned the third button and was going to the fourth, she finally sensed that something was wrong.
“What’re you doing?”
“Didn’t you say that you don’t want to drink the soup?” Han Qing said indifferently after unbuttoning the fourth button. “We can just continue what we were doing just now.”
Looking at his calm expression, he seemed as though he was just having a normal conversation.
However, Yan started getting nervous after hearing his words. We’ll continue if I don’t drink the soup? What’s the logic in this? She immediately said, “No, we can’t continue. I want to eat.”
Then, she opened the lid and took out all the food.
Upon hearing her words, Han Qing paused his action and looked at her with a pair of narrowed eyes.
“Are you hungry?”
“Mm hmm!” Yan nodded as she was indeed starving. Most importantly, she could not have sex with Han Qing because she was pregnant now. In addition to the shock she had received for these past two days, she was afraid that having sex with Han Qing would badly affect the baby.
To be honest, she did not worry about this before as Han Qing seemed to be a reserved man who did not have much desire for sex. The only time they had sex was during their previous overseas travel.
Yan actually did not have much desire for this too. The only thing that she felt weird about was his self-control since rumors had it that men normally would have strong desires for the women they loved. However, Han Qing’s reaction was the opposite of it as he could even control himself during their night overseas despite being drugged.
Sometimes, Yan was unsure whether he had good self-control or he had not much interest in her.
Nevertheless, she did not doubt his feelings toward her. Aside from sex, she could really feel his love and desire toward her, for his intentions definitely showed through his actions.
Perhaps, he just has good self-control? Or perhaps his age is another reason? Is it possible that his strength falls short of his desires?
