Chapter 38: He Looked at Her in Such a Strange Way
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Long Sijue ignored her question and left the room with her in his arms.
Su Qianxun did not have much strength now. She had after all been sick for a few days and she had an entire night of rough sex with him yesterday. She already found the fact that she could stay awake right then a testament to her very good stamina.
Long Sijue carried Su Qianxun into the dining hall. When he entered, the servants lining up on both sides of the hall bent their waists in unison and bowed at a ninety-degree angle.
Su Qianxun was still wearing nothing but a shirt. Her fair and slim legs swayed in the air as Long Sijue carried her in his arms, his hand supporting her a**.
The young woman quickly buried her face in Long Sijue’s chest when she saw the grandiose scene, afraid that someone would see her face. She was already almost twenty years old, and it was way too embarrassing to be carried like that by a man!
Long Sijue’s body froze for a moment because he could feel the young woman’s lukewarm breath against his shirt. Numb and ticklish at the same time, it was a really wondrous feeling. He could not help but lower his head to look at the little thing in his arms.
From his vantage point, he could see her long and curly eyelashes fluttering like the wings of a butterfly. She looked extremely cute and attractive.
Long Sijue went towards the main seat and sat down. He placed Su Qianxun on his lap without any intention of letting her go whatsoever.
The butler took the initiative to walk over. He prepared to arrange the dishes in front of Long Sijue.
“When on earth can I see my brother?” Su Qianxun raised her head and looked anxiously at him.
“Finish the meal first,”Long Sijue said flatly.
“I’m not hungry…”
The moment Su Qianxun completed her sentence, her stomach growled. It was a very loud growl…
There was momentary silence.
Long Sijue stared down at her. Su Qianxun lowered her head awkwardly. She really felt like digging a hole and burying herself in it. She slowly inched her hand towards her belly to cover it. ‘That was so embarrassing!’
Long Sijue grabbed a slice of meat and held it next to her mouth. Su Qianxun immediately shook her head. “It’s fine, I can serve myself.”
“Eat it!” Long Sijue’s voice had an undefiable aura to it.
Su Qianxun was speechless.
She had no choice but to open her mouth and eat the piece of meat.
The meat was fresh as well as tender, and it was extremely delicious because it was cooked by a top-class chef. However, anguish struck Su Qianxun’s heart. ‘When was the last time I ate something so delicious?’
Two years ago, the Su family was annexed overnight. Her grandfather fell ill, and she was chased out without the chance to even meet her mother and older brother.
In the beginning, she really could not adapt to the situation. She roamed the streets with her younger brother for a few days. If the orphanage that they used to visit often with their grandfather had refused to take them in, they would not even have had a place to stay.
Long Sijue held her closer when he saw the sad expression on her face.
He held a piece of vegetable beside her mouth this time. “Can I serve myself?” Su Qianxun asked with a lisp as she ate the piece of vegetable.
She felt really uncomfortable to be held by him that way!
Long Sijue ignored her and continued to feed her. Su Qianxun really did not understand the man. ‘Does he want to know how it feels like to serve others since he’s the one being served all the time?’
Even though being served by others was supposed to be something enjoyable, it was nothing but torment for Su Qianxun!
When Su Qianxun was half-full, she could not endure it anymore and brought up the request to serve herself again. Long Sijue stared meaningfully at her for a while and finally released his grip on her.
Su Qianxun quickly jumped down and sat in the chair next to him once she regained her freedom. She only heaved a sigh of relief when she could no longer feel his body temperature and breath.
However, Su Qianxun was puzzled. Why did he look at her in such a strange way just now?
