My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: His Smile Was A Bit Too Seductive Chapter 59: Chapter 59: His Smile Was A Bit Too Seductive “Give me a little more time,” Zhou Shuyan said through gritted teeth.

“Then, can you… let go of me a little?” Lu Youxi’s voice trembled softly as she spoke in a delicate manner.

Yet her voice made Zhou Shuyan swallow, “Could you also stop talking?”

“Why?” Lu Youxi asked subconsciously, the same question Zhou Shuyan had just asked.

Zhou Shuyan: “…”

How was he supposed to answer that?

Was he supposed to admit truthfully that her soft voice was leading him to have some unsuitable thoughts?

Zhou Shuyan could only sigh, “It’s nothing.”

Lu Youxi didn’t understand, but she felt that it didn’t bode well, and annoyedly slapped the side of his ribs.

Which elicited a light chuckle from Zhou Shuyan.

“Lu Youxi,” Zhou Shuyan said with a hint of laughter in his hoarse voice.

“What?” Lu Youxi pouted unhappily, reddening in the face as she tried to put on a sullen expression.

“You’re becoming more and more casual with me,” Zhou Shuyan said in a raspy voice.

Lu Youxi: “…”

“By now, we should have a bit of revolutionary sentiment, right?” Lu Youxi rolled her eyes and said.

She felt that talking more, beating around the bush, would help divert attention away from the physical and positional awkwardness between the two.

“Sure,” Zhou Shuyan responded half-heartedly and insincerely.

He was finding it difficult to pay attention to what Lu Youxi was saying, and even if he did hear her, it went in one ear and out the other.

Besides, Zhou Shuyan thought that the two of them had only collaborated this one time today, and it was hard to reach the stage of revolutionary sentiment.

He and Qi Sishenn were the ones who truly shared revolutionary feelings.

“Don’t think I can’t tell you’re brushing me off,” Lu Youxi pouted, “Anyway, I think we’re now quite familiar with each other, so it’s natural to speak more casually.”

Lu Youxi paused for a few seconds, then continued talking in her usual prattle, “Or would you prefer I was more respectful towards you?”

“But why should I be respectful towards you?” Lu Youxi added, “You’re not that much older than me.”

If she remembered correctly after seeing his ID when they registered their marriage, he was only 25 years old.

To Lu Youxi, it seemed she was actually quite a bit older than Zhou Shuyan.

She just couldn’t bring herself to show Zhou Shuyan much reverence.

At the end of her words, she heard another light laugh from Zhou Shuyan above her.

His laugh was low and husky, resonating in his throat as he barely let out a sound.

Yet because they were so close to each other, Lu Youxi could still hear it clearly.

It was as if the sound was rolling over her forehead.

Even his breath, shaky with chuckles, fell lightly on her forehead.

Lu Youxi had just managed to steady her emotions a bit by diverting her attention with her ramblings, but they were now swaying again.

The blush on her face which had faded somewhat, leaving only a hint of pink, began to burn red again at Zhou Shuyan’s gentle laugh.

“Could you stop laughing?” Lu Youxi murmured.

“…” Zhou Shuyan raised his eyebrows, helplessly saying, “You won’t let me talk, can’t I even laugh?”

How could Lu Youxi explain to him?

Could she tell him candidly that his laughter was a bit too seductive?

Hearing his light laughter, she felt her ears go soft and fuzzy, her legs weakened as if ailing, the entirety of her feeling dizzy.

“Never mind,” Lu Youxi muttered, “It’s not important.”

Zhou Shuyan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

But it seemed as if the scent of Lu Youxi’s hair lingered in his breath and remained in his mouth and nose.

Zhou Shuyan let go of Lu Youxi. Embarrassed, Lu Youxi touched her nose and coughed several times, then striking up a conversation about nothing in particular, said, “You recover pretty quickly.”

That was fast.

Zhou Shuyan: “…”

All he heard was the word “fast”!

He couldn’t help grinding his teeth and it took great control to refrain from proving to Lu Youxi that he wasn’t that fast.

He just felt that he shouldn’t embarrass himself to the extent that Lu Youxi could tell.

After all, they couldn’t always be hugging each other.

Who would have thought that Lu Youxi would think he was fast?

Huh!

Zhou Shuyan took another deep breath, finally calming himself down.

Now feeling extremely awkward, Lu Youxi said, “Maybe you could talk about that matter tomorrow?”

Zhou Shuyan, now calm, raised the corners of his eyes teasingly, “You might not even have the nerve to see me tomorrow.”

Lu Youxi: “…”

Thinking about it, she realized he was right.

Right now, Lu Youxi wished she could just run home and not see him again, not to mention tomorrow.

“I absolutely won’t,” Lu Youxi refused to concede, looking up at Zhou Shuyan, “What’s there to be embarrassed about?”

“But since we’ve already brought it up, why don’t you just finish what you were saying, so we don’t have the trouble of meeting again,” Lu Youxi continued.

Zhou Shuyan teasingly observed Lu Youxi for a while, making her feel uneasy, “Are you going to talk or not?”

His gaze seemed to see right through her feigned bravado.

Zhou Shuyan smiled and took a step toward Lu Youxi.

When he had just let go of Lu Youxi, due to the awkwardness, she had taken a big step back, creating a considerable distance between them.

Lu Youxi, holding back her embarrassment, did not retreat further as Zhou Shuyan leaned in, lowering his head to speak near her, “Ever since you came to me last time, asking for my help with the marriage registration, I’ve looked into the Foolish Hu from the neighboring village.”

Lu Youxi really didn’t expect this; she looked up in surprise, and her nose nearly brushed Zhou Shuyan’s lips.

She felt a warmth rush over her nose tip.

Her face, which had just improved, flushed red once more.

Especially as Zhou Shuyan lightly pursed his lips.

Lu Youxi’s face went even redder.

His lips hadn’t even touched her, what was he pursing his lips for!

“How did you investigate?” Lu Youxi’s face was burning up.

“I actually get along pretty well in the village,” Zhou Shuyan modestly claimed.

He was, in fact, quite popular in the village.

Lu Youxi blurted out in surprise, “Really? I haven’t seen you out much!”

Zhou Shuyan raised his eyebrows slightly, “Didn’t expect you to pay so much attention to me that you even know I don’t go out much.”

Lu Youxi: “…The village is small, and I usually work in the fields with my family, which is a thoroughfare in the village. Anyone who goes out has to pass by the fields. Why would I be paying attention to you for no reason?”

“Oh!” Zhou Shuyan drew out his response, feigning realization, “I thought you were keeping tabs on me because I owe you medical fees, worried that if I left without a word, you’d never see that money.”

Lu Youxi glared at him, grinding her teeth, “You’re becoming more and more casual with me too, even starting to toy with me!”
