Chapter 402 Stealing a Chicken and Losing

Before He Xun’s sight, his wife’s hair was wet, her face was flushed, her eyes were tearing up, and her mouth was slightly open.

It looked like…

He Xun swallowed as he sighed in his heart. It felt as if he failed in stealing a chicken and lost the rice as well in the process. However, he did not move.

He Xun stiffened and coaxed her first.

“It’s my fault. I wanted to tease you…”

His original intention was to tease her, but he did not expect that he would scare her off. He overestimated her perseverance.

“Don’t tease me…” Chen Wei’er choked. At the very least, he shouldn’t joke around here. She was really frightened.

“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.” He Xun remained still. He then moved slightly, one hand around her waist, and the other hand brushing past her back.

Chen Wei’er cried out in surprise and immediately released her hands that were hugging He Xun’s neck. Thereafter, she shielded her body! In her panic just now, she had forgotten that she was not wearing anything!

But Chen Wei’er did not know that this expression was even more moving in He Xun’s eyes! His hand was still on her body—feeling her delicate skin. And the silly woman in his arms was still trying to cover it up…

Chen Wei’er noticed that his gaze was following her, and she immediately shouted, “You’re not allowed to look!”

How could He Xun continue listening? This was his wife. Even if he looked at her, it was still legal! Therefore, He Xun righteously perused.

Chen Wei’er was so embarrassed that she started to struggle.

“Let go of me!”

He Xun was going insane. It was fine if Chen Wei’er didn’t move, but once she did…

How could he endure this? He Xun immediately held her down and walked toward the stone in the middle of the spring.

Chen Wei’er was not as strong as him, and she was almost dragged into the water. As they walked, Chen Wei’er did not give up.

“Let go of me!”

He Xun pretended to be deaf and strode forward. In just a few steps, he arrived at the stone. The stone had been soaked in the spring water for many years. It had long become a round pebble that was bigger than an adult man.

He Xun pushed Chen Wei’er behind the rock and turned around.

“I don’t want to do anything to you. I just want to help you.” HeXun explained.

Only then did Chen Wei’er realize that she was thinking too much.

“Then, don’t turn around. Help me get my clothes.”

“Your clothes are all dirty. I’ll go wash them. You can soak in first.” He Xun took a deep breath and walked back to his original spot. He took his wife’s clothes to wash.

Chen Wei’er had mixed feelings. Her undergarments were in the pile of clothes! How could he let He Xun wash this kind of thing for her?

“I’ll wash them myself!” She gritted her teeth. “Don’t move.”

As if he hadn’t heard her, He Xun had already taken the clothes and soaked them in the hot spring. He began to wash them at a place far away from Chen Wei’er.

“Hurry up and give them to me!” Chen Wei’er was a little anxious. Especially when she saw He Xun take care of her undergarments. She shouted, “If you don’t give them to me, I’ll go over!”

When He Xun heard the voice behind him, his words made Chen Wei’er freeze on the spot.

“Aren’t you afraid that I won’t be able to hold it in if you come over this time?” He Xun asked.

Chen Wei’er could only stay where she was. She was anxious, but she did not dare to move forward.

He Xun’s voice was normal.

“I have washed your clothes before. It’s alright. You soak well. After I’m done, I’ll go to the cave entrance and start a fire to dry them. When they’re dry, I’ll send them back to you.”

Tears welled up in her eyes again. Chen Wei’er had never thought that there would be a day when she did not have to wash her clothes. More importantly, there was actually a man helping her wash them.

She leaned against the massive rock and let her tears fall. In the past, her tears were brought about by the toughness of life. No one understood her pain, and no one felt sorry for her sacrifice.

Back then, she had a falling out with her mother because of Nie Suijing and her divorce from He Xun…

She would never ask Nie Suijing to feel grateful because she divorced He Xun. But at the very least, he should recognize her sacrifice…

She had never thought of asking for anything. Chen Wei’er divorced He Xun and left the family with nothing.

In exchange for Nie Suijing’s harsh words, all the warmth changed. One humiliating sentence after another was thrown at her.

“The He family has so much money. Are you out of your mind? Leaving with nothing? After all this trouble, you let He Xun sleep with you for two years in vain…”

“I didn’t sleep with him!” Chen Wei’er hurriedly explained.

“You’ve been married for two years. You’re not clean anymore!” Nie Suijing refused to believe her.

Chen Wei’er was really anxious. “We didn’t do it. What right do you have to accuse us?”
