Chapter 501: 496: Washing Hair
Seeing his outstretched hand, Qin Xue reflexively shielded her chest with both hands.
“Xue’er, are you planning to bathe with your clothes on?” Chu Molin asked Qin Xue with a smile.
“Um, Chu Molin, I can handle this myself,” said Qin Xue as she looked at him.
“Xue’er, are you sure?” Chu Molin stared at Qin Xue intently.
Qin Xue bit her lip and nodded with certainty, “Yes.”
“Alright then.” Chu Molin looked at the struggling Qin Xue, feeling as if he was the bad guy.
In Qin Xue’s mind, wasn’t Chu Molin being like a bad guy who would bully her?
“I can do it myself, turn around.” Qin Xue saw that she couldn’t avoid the situation, so with a resigned sigh, she reached out to unzip her clothes.
Chu Molin’s eyes darkened as he turned around, but he didn’t make any other moves, just quietly waiting for Qin Xue to finish her washing.
Qin Xue didn’t dare to look at Chu Molin and just grabbed a towel to wash herself.
Throughout the process, Chu Molin didn’t make any inappropriate gestures, just quietly stood by and waited.
As soon as Qin Xue finished washing and got dressed, Chu Molin gasped for breath, nearly out of breath.
Having his beloved woman washing herself behind him was a great test of his self-control, but he managed to restrain his impulses and keep himself in check, admiring his own restraint.
Chu Molin relaxed a bit and started to undress himself, then took a cold shower under the faucet.
As Qin Xue left the bathroom, her face remained flushed, and she couldn’t help but feel agitated. Chu Molin had been well-behaved the whole time, but she couldn’t help thinking back to what they did the night before last. Where had she gotten that courage to do such a bold thing?
Looking back on it now, even Qin Xue found it incredible, but she had done it anyway.
When Chu Molin came out, he saw Qin Xue blushing and lost in thought.
“Xue’er, what are you thinking about? Your face is so red; do you have a fever?” Chu Molin asked, reaching out to touch her forehead and check her temperature.
“Ah!” Qin Xue cried out in shock, stepping back and losing her balance, almost falling.
With quick reflexes, Chu Molin caught Qin Xue in his arms and spun her around to steady her.
“Why are you so reckless? Don’t you know that’s dangerous?” Chu Molin scolded, his voice ringing in Qin Xue’s ears.
“I…” Qin Xue was also frightened by the sudden turn of events. If Chu Molin hadn’t reacted quickly to catch her, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“You’re such a grown-up, yet you’re still so impulsive. What would you do if you got hurt?” Chu Molin’s heart was still pounding from the scare, and his admonishments spilled out one after another.
Tears filled Qin Xue’s eyes and streamed down her face.
“Xue’er, is something wrong? Did I touch your belly just now?” Seeing Qin Xue’s tears, Chu Molin panicked and lost his temper.
Qin Xue just stood there, head bowed, silently crying without making a sound.
Chu Molin frantically assessed Qin Xue’s condition, not knowing what was wrong with her.
“Xue’er, please speak. Tell me, is something uncomfortable?” Chu Molin didn’t dare to raise his voice.
Could it be his movements were too rough, and he hurt the baby in her belly? However, he didn’t think he had done that just now.
