Chapter 16: Let’s Talk

“Cough! Cough!” He Xun felt awkward and decided to change the topic. “What’s this incense?”
“Oh…” Chen Wei’er pulled out from her heart-wrenching emotions and slowly said, “This should be for you to… Well, it has been burning for a while. Luo Xinrui wasn’t there when we were eating, so it should have been lit at that time.”
Because the time was long enough, and the concentration was high enough, He Xun could be affected by the incense after about ten minutes.
“Then, why are you and Luo Xinrui both fine? Why am I the only one affected?” He Xun frowned.
“Maybe, it’s only effective on men? Just to be on the safe side, you’d better get someone to check your body, in case there’s any damage.” Chen Wei’er handed the incense to He Xun. After all, it could no longer be used. If there were any more problems, He Xun would go crazy.
He Xun didn’t know what Chen Wei’er was thinking. He took the incense and said, “I know. It’s getting late, so rest early.”
However, before he could finish his words, Chen Wei’er interrupted him. “He Xun, let’s talk.”
He Xun’s expression froze. He thought of what had happened today and nodded.
Chen Wei’er took the lead. “What I want to say is that a few days ago, Nie Suijing bribed a servant to send me a message. It has already happened. I have nothing to say, but I can promise that I will never have anything to do with him in the future. I’m telling the truth!”
After Chen Wei’er finished speaking for a long time, she finally dared to look up at He Xun. Seeing that He Xun’s face was still expressionless, she didn’t know what he meant, which made Chen Wei’er panic.
“I understand,” He Xun said slowly after a long time.
Chen Wei’er didn’t quite understand what “I know” meant. “Is there anything else?” He Xun asked.
“Um… Just now…” Chen Wei’er didn’t know how to explain what had just happened. Should she ask him directly? Is he suffering from sexual dysfunction? No man would ever admit to something like this, right?
He Xun thought that she was still bothered by what he had just done. After a moment of silence, he explained. “I’m very sorry for what happened just now. I didn’t do it on purpose. I… I was affected by the incense.”
Chen Wei’er was startled.
So he was saying, “If there wasn’t any sleeping fragrance, I wouldn’t be interested in you at all?”
Chen Wei’er gritted her teeth and said, “Am I that bad? You can’t feel any charm from me?”
“I didn’t mean it that way… I…” He Xun frowned.
“Alright, enough.” Chen Wei’er didn’t want to hear it anymore, because she realized that compared to this, she didn’t want to hear it with her ears. He Xun admitted that he had a problem with his body.
Seeing that Chen Wei’er’s expression wasn’t good, He Xun wanted to reach out his hand, but he put it down. He warned himself in his heart to keep a distance from her and not to make her feel disgusted.
He Xun resumed his cold attitude. “Then, you should rest early.”
Chen Wei’er nodded. After washing up, she found that He Xun had already laid down on the sofa. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Do you want to sleep on the bed?”
“No need,” He Xun’s reply was even colder.
Chen Wei’er didn’t insist.
The next day, the two of them returned to Dongting Lake Villa. While sitting in the car, Chen Wei’er was still in a very low mood because she still couldn’t accept that He Xun’s body truly had a problem!
Sensing Chen Wei’er’s state, He Xun’s hands clenched tightly. She couldn’t even be with him for a while? Just inside the car?
Chen Wei’er didn’t notice He Xun’s ugly expression until they arrived at the Dongting Lake Villa. All she could think of was what to do.
Chen Wei’er was about to get out of the car when He Xun suddenly grabbed her wrist. She turned around and glanced at him. “What’s wrong?”
He Xun released his hand. “I’ll get someone to send you clothes today. What else do you need?”
Chen Wei’er looked at him a few times, so He Xun still didn’t believe her and would rather send the clothes in than let her go out. He even personally sent her back in the morning? She sighed. “Then, you can ask another stylist. I still want to cut my hair.”
There were too many emotions in He Xun’s eyes, but he suppressed them in the end. “Alright,” he said.
“Then, I’ll go back.” Chen Wei’er got off the car and walked in.
She hadn’t been here for eight years, so this villa was both strange and familiar to her. There were roses on the wall, cherry trees in the yard, and a swing that He Xun had made himself. She remembered that He Xun had made the swing in a hurry and asked her to try it out, but she still hated him at the time. After receiving Nie Suijing’s message, she didn’t have the mood to deal with him, so she rejected him. She didn’t realize that He Xun was truly good to her in the past.
The swing was now covered in ashes, and no one had cleaned it up.
