Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Actually, It’s Me Who’s Hungry
The embarrassment, of course, was from the kiss they had just shared.
And the mortification was from the RUMBLE that followed. That sound had come right from Shen Nian.
For her stomach to suddenly start growling at a moment like this... this level of awkwardness was almost on par with the time she’d had diarrhea in the middle of nowhere!
Shen Nian wanted to cry. ’Was she really doomed to have these embarrassing things happen in front of Lu Cheng all the time?’
"Actually, I’m not that hungry..."
Shen Nian tried to salvage the situation, but after the words left her mouth, she only felt more mortified.
’Saying that just made it worse. Even if he hadn’t known before, he definitely knew now that she was hungry! So hungry her stomach was practically screaming for food!’
"Mm, actually, I’m the one who’s hungry."
He was indeed hungry. And not just his stomach—somewhere else was hungry too.
"Then, we should get up. Mom’s food must be ready."
Shen Nian urged Lu Cheng. Lu Xinyue had come over earlier, probably to call them for dinner. Who would have thought she’d walk in on a scene like that.
And now, Lu Xinyue was long gone, but they had still dallied in the room for so long without going out. Who knew what kind of ideas the girl who’d witnessed that scene was getting now.
"Mm."
Lu Cheng looked at Shen Nian and nodded, but he didn’t move.
’The reason she was urging him to get up was because if he didn’t move, she couldn’t move either! And she was too embarrassed to just say that out loud.’
’Lu Cheng had already agreed, so why wasn’t he moving!’
"Well, get up then!"
Shen Nian shot Lu Cheng a playfully reproachful glance, her voice a soft complaint.
’Seeing that look in her eyes, if he wasn’t worried she’d starve, Lu Cheng wished he could keep her from leaving the room at all!’
Suppressing his reluctance, Lu Cheng got off the bed. He then reached out and pulled Shen Nian up as well. After she got off the bed and had taken just two steps, Lu Cheng reminded her, "Careful."
Hearing his warning, Shen Nian couldn’t help but turn and shoot him an indignant glare. Lu Cheng’s pointed reminder made her recall her earlier stumble and the entire series of events it had caused.
’If she’d known what was going to happen, she wondered if she would have still tripped in the first place!’
That indignant glare from Shen Nian made Lu Cheng’s lower abdomen tighten instantly. He wished he could just pull her back and kiss her for a few more rounds.
’But, Lu Cheng knew that if he actually did that, Shen Nian would probably get truly angry.’
’No rush, no rush. Since they’d already kissed once, why worry about not getting to kiss her again?’
Besides, the thought that when he had initiated the kiss, Shen Nian hadn’t just not refused, but had actively reciprocated, was enough to make Lu Cheng’s heart leap with joy!
Everything that had happened in such a short time made Lu Cheng feel like he was in a dream.
Just a short while ago, he had been worried his wife would be angry, that she wouldn’t want him. But now, he had the best wife in the world!
His Shen Nian had truly changed! Although Lu Cheng didn’t know the reason for such a drastic transformation, all he needed to know was that this person was his Shen Nian—the Shen Nian he loved so deeply. And that was more than enough.
He believed that one day, Shen Nian would tell him her secret. And he had enough patience to wait for that day.
