977 I’m Starting To Think You Don’t Like Me

Anya embraced Lu Yunxiao. He could sense her soft body touching him closely, making him go stiff. He looked down at the top of her head expressionlessly with his lips parted and did not know what to say.

Anya said, “Before coming back, you said you’d marry me and I agreed. Do you really have to sleep on the couch?”

Lu Yunxiao went quiet. They were not married yet.

“Does it matter if we aren’t married? I want to sleep with you. It’s cold.”

Lu Yunxiao went quiet. If she was cold, she could always turn off the air conditioning.

“It’ll get too warm without the air conditioning on.”

Lu Yunxiao: “…”

Anya raised her head to look at him and said, “I know you’re not used to sleeping with someone else but if you refuse to try, how are we going to have babies?”

Lu Yunxiao’s ears flushed red on hearing this.

Anya continued speaking, “You said we can get married after coming back. Do you only intend to marry me with no intention of sleeping with me? In that case, what’s the point of getting married? If you don’t like me, I can just leave.”

The moment she finished her sentence, she let go of him.

Lu Yunxiao’s hands moved slightly from the sides of his body.

Anya looked into his eyes and said, “If I leave this time, you might not be able to find me again. I suggest you think carefully.”

Lu Yunxiao looked into her eyes and finally frowned.

He raised his hands towards her.

Anya placed her hands in his and held them tightly. She smiled as she pulled him toward the bed.

After the two of them lay down on the bed, Anya held his hand and said, “Once your mother has checked the dates, I will call my older brother to come over. Also, I will give my parents and godmother a call.”

Lu Yunxiao listened to her as he lay there.

Anya said, “After we get married, I’m going to follow you wherever you go. Your life belongs to me, so you’re not allowed to get hurt anymore.”

Lu Yunxiao remained quiet.

Anya inexplicably knew he was paying attention to her, so she continued speaking, “If we have a baby after getting married, I want them placed in a nutrient solution container just like Zi Yi’s babies.”

His large hands tightened as he held hers.

Anya turned her head to look at him.

Lu Yunxiao had stern features due to his profession. However, his eyes were very dark and particularly attractive. Anya went closer to him as she looked into his eyes.

Lu Yunxiao did not move.

When their lips touched, Anya smiled looking into his dark eyes that had dilated.

She lay on top of him and said, “Can you stop it? You’re making me think you don’t like me.”

The moment she finished her sentence, she kissed him again.

Lu Yunxiao was at a loss. When she kissed him again, he finally held her by the waist.

In a split second, the two of them had traded positions.

Lu Yunxiao looked at Anya. Even though he was expressionless, his voice sounded serious. “I don’t know how to… It might hurt.”

Anya embraced him by the neck and felt inexplicably nervous as well.

She said, “I don’t know how to do it either. We can figure things out in time.”

“Uh huh.”

…

It was July, so the sun came up early in the morning.

When Zi Yi woke up, she happened to hear Lu Jingye heading to the bathroom.

She did not open her eyes and simply reached her hand out for her phone with her eyes closed.

Lu Jingye heard some noise, so he turned around. He saw her feeling around the bedside cabinet for her phone, but to no avail.

He instinctively smiled. He strode over and passed her the phone.

Zi Yi opened her eyes and saw him smiling at her. She smiled and said, “Ah Jing, good morning.”

“Good morning.”

Lu Jingye asked, “Do you want to get up?”

Zi Yi glanced at the time.

It was half past five in the morning.

She pondered and replied, “Uh huh. I want to go for morning exercises with you.”

Lu Jingye then brought her clothes over for her to change into.

Zi Yi reached her hands out to him and whined. “Pull me up. I can’t get up.”

Lu Jingye sat on the bedside and pulled her up.

After sitting up, Zi Yi turned to hold him by the neck. She giggled and said, “Do you think Yunxiao and Anya slept together last night?”

Lu Jingye smiled looking at her. He then squeezed her slightly using the hand on her waist and said, “Only they will know if they have or not.”

Zi Yi was just asking randomly, so the moment she heard what he said, she did not continue with the subject. Instead, she hugged him around the neck and gave him a couple of kisses. When she was finally satisfied with kissing him, she let go of him so that she could get changed.

After putting on her clothes, the two of them went to freshen up in the bathroom.

Zi Yi spoke as she squeezed the toothpaste onto her toothbrush, “I’m sure Mom will start checking for a good date for them today. Perhaps we can combine the babies’ month-old birthday party with their wedding. Isn’t that a good idea?”

“Uh huh. Two happy events in the family.”

After they were done freshening up, they went downstairs. No one was in the living room at this hour yet.

Zi Yi glanced inside the kitchen and saw Mrs. Lu cooking. She decided not to go out with Lu Jingye but instead, she walked straight into the kitchen and smiled as she asked, “Mom, what are you making today?”

Mrs. Lu was making food. The moment she heard the voice, she turned to smile at Zi Yi. “Why are you up so early?”

Zi Yi walked to stand beside her and watch her work. “I wanted to go for morning exercise with Ah Jing.”

She smelled the food Mrs. Lu was steaming and licked her lips. “Smells awesome.”

Mrs. Lu had prepared a lot of rose and peanut stuffing in advance, so she scooped some up with a spoon and fed it to Zi Yi. “Why don’t you go get some exercise first? When breakfast is ready, I’ll come and get you.”

Zi Yi nodded happily. She asked, “Are Anya and Yunxiao up yet?”

“Not yet. Let them sleep in a little.”

Mrs. Lu beamed from ear to ear as she spoke. “Today, I’m going to pick a good date for them. I hope I can find an auspicious day within the next two months. That way, we can hold the babies’ month-old birthday along with their wedding. That makes two happy events in the family to commemorate.”

“It does.”

They conversed a while more before ending the conversation.

It was rather cool in the morning. When Zi Yi walked to the yard, she saw Lu Jingye, Lu Yunxiao, and their father working out on the gym equipment. She did not walk over but instead, she went jogging in the rose garden.

After running a little, Zi Yi saw Anya walk out through the front door in front of her. She ran up to her.

“Morning, Anya.”

“Morning, Zi Yi.”

The two of them greeted each other and automatically walked to the side.

Zi Yi looked at her as she walked and said, “Something seems different about you today.”

A shy look emerged in Anya’s eyes. “Perhaps it’s my good mood.”

Zi Yi promptly caught onto something and laughed.

The two of them walked over to the wicker chairs where there was shade from a tree and sat down.

Zi Yi asked, “What happened to you two in Country A?”

Anya pondered for a moment and then said, “I told you I can read fortunes, right?”

“You did.”

“There are a few instances where the readings won’t be accurate. Firstly, I can’t read my own fortune. The second instance is you. The third case is someone who has changed their fate.”

“Even though I can’t read my own fortune accurately, I can sense that I have close links to your family, so I followed you over. When I came over, I saw Yunxiao several times. Each time, I realized I could read his mind and I felt very happy with him.”
