Chapter 224 Ambiguity
Ye Wanqing's body tensed up in an instant, the hair dryer in her hand slipped accidentally and gently hit the soft sofa, and she fell involuntarily into Lin Xuan's broad arms.
The masculine scent in the air grew stronger, causing her heart to beat faster involuntarily, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
"Lin Xuan...what's wrong with you?" There was a hint of panic and confusion in her voice.
"Stomachache, an old problem."
Lin Xuan's voice was low and slightly hoarse. He raised his right hand, gently covering the back of her head with his palm, and with an irresistible force, gently pressed her head against his chest.
There, the sound of the heartbeat was steady and powerful, clearly reaching her ears through the thin clothes.
Ye Wanqing wanted to struggle at first, but when she felt the warmth and security coming from Lin Xuan, she finally gave up resisting.
In the living room, time seemed to stand still at this moment, leaving only the sounds of their breathing and heartbeats intertwined together, creating an indescribable warm atmosphere.
She lay quietly on Lin Xuan's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
His heartbeat was surprisingly fast, was it because...? She didn't dare to think too deeply, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly unconsciously, and she relaxed her guard.
Feeling Ye Wanqing's body gradually softening, Lin Xuan's heart also softened.
He had longed for this moment for a long time, longing to hug her tightly, to feel her warmth, her breath, and her hand. He wished so much that he could hold her hand forever and never let go.
Thinking of this, he had already found Ye Wanqing's hand, gently separated her five fingers, and then inserted his fingers into them one by one.
The moment their fingers were clasped together, an indescribable sense of intimacy arose, making him feel unprecedented satisfaction.
However, Ye Wanqing was not used to such intimacy. She tried to break free, but was held even tighter.
The two of them remained in a stalemate for a while, and finally, Ye Wanqing compromised.
She felt a strong sense of hunger and her body became weak. She leaned on Lin Xuan and suddenly didn't want to move anymore.
There is no air conditioning in the villa, but the wind is very strong today, and the cool breeze blowing in from the window is enough to dispel the summer heat.
Hugs are such a wonderful thing.
It is not as passionate and direct as a kiss, nor as deep and thorough as making love, but it can bring people an indescribable pleasure and peace.
For the first time, Ye Wanqing felt such a strong dependence on someone that when her cell phone rang suddenly, she didn't even want to answer it.
However, this was just a fleeting thought in her mind, and this sudden emotion came and went quickly.
She looked up at Lin Xuan and pointed at the ringing cell phone.
Lin Xuan didn't insist anymore, let go of her hand and let her get the phone.
Ye Wanqing picked up the phone. It turned out to be the food delivery driver who called to ask about the exact location of the villa.
She hung up the phone after giving the address. When she turned around, she found Lin Xuan sitting on the sofa, staring at her quietly with his deep eyes.
Thinking of the brief hug just now, Ye Wanqing couldn't help feeling a little shy, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
She cleared her throat, trying to hide her embarrassment: "Does your stomach still hurt? Do you want me to get you another glass of water?"
Lin Xuan shook his head slightly, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth: "Much better, thank you for your concern." His eyes were full of tenderness and gratitude, which made Ye Wanqing feel warm in her heart.
"If it still hurts, can you let me hold you?" Lin Xuan suddenly said, with a hint of teasing and expectation in his tone.
Ye Wanqing's cheeks turned even redder when she heard that. She snorted softly, "You wish. It hurts!" Although she said that, as a girlfriend, she still felt sorry for Lin Xuan in her heart.
She walked to the center island, poured a cup of warm water with honey and handed it to Lin Xuan: "Drink some, it will help relieve the pain."
As she spoke, she took out the medicine that Lin Xuan brought back from the hospital today from the bag, looked at the prescription carefully, and found that one of the medicines was to be taken before meals.
She took out the pills and handed them to Lin Xuan: "This is the medicine to be taken before meals. Remember to take it on time."
Lin Xuan stretched out his hand, palm facing up, his meaning was obvious.
Ye Wanqing placed the pill in his palm and reminded him again: "Take it. It says to take it half an hour before meals."
Lin Xuan swallowed the pill with honey water. Although the medicine was not bitter, he still frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Ye Wanqing glanced at her medicine box and found that her pre-meal medicine was missing, so she took out her own medicine and checked it again. After confirming that everything was correct, she packed the medicine in the medicine box according to the number of times, and also packed Lin Xuan's medicine.
"One box is the dosage for one time. This is to be taken before meals." Ye Wanqing explained carefully.
Lin Xuan leaned over, carefully looked at the mark on the medicine box, and wrote down her words: "Yes, I remember it."
"Does your stomach still hurt?" Ye Wanqing closed the medicine box, put it aside and asked with concern.
"It doesn't hurt that much anymore. Your concern is more effective than medicine." Lin Xuan said with a smile, his eyes showing some tenderness and warmth.
"Really? It's so useful?" Ye Wanqing looked at him in surprise.
He nodded slightly, with a hint of teasing in his smile: "It didn't hurt that much to begin with, you were just too nervous."
"You're so good! You actually lied to me!" Ye Wanqing glared at him coquettishly.
"It was a little painful just now, but it's much better now." Lin Xuan explained quickly.
Ye Wanqing didn't say anything else. She took her phone and began to reply to the message Qin Zhuyu sent her. Lin Xuan sat quietly on the sofa, watching her busy figure, his heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.
Qin Zhuyu's worry about Ye Wanqing did not dissipate after a few WeChat messages. Instead, it burned more and more vigorously like a flame blown by the wind.
She decided that she had to see Ye Wanqing with her own eyes no matter what to confirm whether she was really safe.
When this decisive message flashed on the screen, Ye Wanqing was sitting on the sofa, her fingers jumping on the mobile phone keyboard, responding to Qin Zhuyu's concern.
"Qin Zhuyu said that she wanted to come and see me in person." Ye Wanqing turned to look at Lin Xuan, a slightly cunning smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes flashed with pride and happiness.
Her voice was soft, yet with a subtle hint of boasting.
Hearing this, Lin Xuan looked back at her gently and took over the conversation: "Then let her come. One more friend means more fun."
His tone was full of calmness and confidence, as if he was inviting a familiar friend to join their world.
However, Ye Wanqing hesitated.
She didn't intend to hide this budding romance, but she had an unspeakable concern in her heart.
She bit her lower lip lightly, and finally shook her head, rejecting Qin Zhuyu's visit. A hint of apology flashed in her eyes, but more of it was uncertainty and worry about the future.
"I still feel that since we've just confirmed our relationship, if we make it public now, what if... what if we break up again in the future, it would be really awkward."
Lin Xuan looked at her. He understood that Ye Wanqing was a thoughtful and considerate girl. He patted the back of her hand gently to comfort her: "Don't worry, I won't let you leave again."
Just then, Lin Xuan's cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting the warm atmosphere between them.
He glanced at the screen and saw it was Qin Huai calling. They were only a meter apart, but Ye Wanqing had no intention of eavesdropping. She just quietly picked up the hair dryer on the sofa and put it back where it belonged.
When she returned to the living room again, she just heard Lin Xuan proudly say on the phone: "Well, I'm with my girlfriend." His voice was firm and gentle, as if he was announcing his happiness to the world.
Ye Wanqing's cheeks instantly turned red, and she stopped, a little embarrassed to go any further. She felt both sweet and shy in her heart.
On the other end of the phone, Qin Huai was obviously shocked by Lin Xuan's words: "Female friend? You mean, you already have a girlfriend?" His voice was full of disbelief and surprise.
"Remove the word 'female,'" Lin Xuan corrected with a smile. His tone was filled with pride and satisfaction, as if he were sharing a precious treasure.
"Damn it! Lin Xuan! You dumped Ye Wanqing? Who are you with? Didn't you send Ye Wanqing home last night? How could you change your heart so quickly?" Qin Huai's voice became louder and louder, as if it was going to shake the whole room.
Lin Xuan felt a headache because of his loud voice. He frowned unhappily: "My girlfriend's name is Ye Wanqing." His voice was calm and firm, as if telling Qin Huai an indisputable fact.
Hearing this, Ye Wanqing shook the cup she had just picked up, causing the water to splash out and making her cough repeatedly. Her cheeks became even redder from coughing, and her eyes flashed with embarrassment and shyness.
When Lin Xuan heard her cough, he immediately turned to look at her, his eyes filled with concern and worry. He quickly hung up the phone, walked over to Ye Wanqing, and gently patted her back: "How is it? Did you choke? Is it serious?"
Ye Wanqing coughed until tears came out. She blushed and shook her head: "It's okay... cough cough... I was just startled by what you said just now."
Lin Xuan looked at her with a gentle smile on his lips: "Do you care about what I said just now? Or do you care that I made our relationship public so soon?" His eyes were full of tenderness and expectation, as if he was waiting for an important answer.
Ye Wanqing calmed down and said awkwardly, "It's not that I care... It's just that we've just been together for a short time, and we're making it public so soon. What if in the future..." She didn't finish her words, but Lin Xuan already understood what she meant.
He gently held her hand, his eyes firm: "Don't worry, I won't let this happen. Since I have chosen to be with you, I will do my best to maintain this relationship."
Ye Wanqing looked at him, and it felt like an electric current passed through her heart, and her heart suddenly moved.
But he still spoke stubbornly.
"What if?" She thought of her previous divorce. No one can guarantee this relationship, right?
"Wanqing, I will try my best, unless you are just playing around."
"How is that possible? I didn't." Ye Qiqiu retorted. She had never thought about it that way. She also hoped to be together for a long time.
"What if?" Lin Xuan approached Ye Wanqing and asked her the same question she had just asked.
