Chapter 1737: Chapter 1738: Come to My Room Tonight
After pondering for a moment, Ye Xuan proactively picked up a piece of braised pork for Lin Tong and said with a laugh, "Wife, eat some meat. I haven’t seen you in a few days, and you’re looking a bit thin!"
Without saying a word, Lin Tong tossed that piece of braised pork into the trash bin directly.
Ye Xuan was stunned. Such a big temper?
Lin Tong glared coldly at Ye Xuan, gritting her teeth, "Please shut up and don’t talk to me!"
Uh—
As Lin Tong’s icy decisive voice echoed, Ye Xuan was dumbfounded on the spot, finally confirming that Lin Tong was genuinely angered this time.
Instantly, the whole restaurant seemed to be shrouded in a heavy cloud, almost suffocating.
Leng Qiuge, being one of the people involved, wished he could bury his face in his bowl, pretending not to see anything, while inwardly trembling.
Undeniably, from the bottom of his heart, Leng Qiuge feared Lin Tong.
Even Liu Ying, the old charmer, involuntarily shrank her neck under Lin Tong’s aura, no longer daring to throw flirtatious glances at Ye Xuan and obediently lowered her head to eat.
Chiba Sakurako wanted to say something to alleviate the tension, but upon seeing Lin Tong’s expression, felt a lump in her throat, unsure of what to say.
Ultimately, she chose silence.
She believed, as a maid, she shouldn’t meddle too much...
Only the innocent little Cloud was pure and unsullied, her large, beautiful eyes darting back and forth between Ye Xuan and Lin Tong, finally speaking in confusion, "Daddy, Mommy, are you arguing?"
Her heavenly voice softened Lin Tong’s maternal heart.
After giving Ye Xuan a cold glance, Lin Tong forced a gentle smile on her face and turned to Little Cloud, "No, Daddy and Mommy are just playing, Little Cloud. Be good, eat your meal."
"Yes, yes!" Ye Xuan came to his senses and quickly flattered, "Daddy and Mommy are just playing!"
Lin Tong frowned slightly.
Ye Xuan’s smile became stiff, and he immediately held his tongue, not daring to say more.
At this moment, Ye Xuan regretted thoroughly.
If time could reverse, he would definitely not capitulate to evil forces!
Indeed, Leng Qiuge and Liu Ying together equaled more than two, but compared to wife’s anger, this "two" shouldn’t tip the scales!
Even when bowing down, it should only be at absolutely safe times!
Now it’s done, Lin Tong’s rare fury might trigger another rebound of androphobia because of this event...
Ye Xuan felt like crying but had no tears, as regrets were useless!
"Oh, so you’re just playing!" Little Cloud pouted, "I thought Daddy and Mommy got along so well, you’d never argue!"
Lin Tong affectionately stroked Little Cloud’s head, smiling, "Eat your meal."
"Mm-hmm!"
Little Cloud obediently ate, once again demonstrating her talent as a big eater.
The atmosphere returned to calm.
In this calmness, Lin Tong’s turbulent emotions gradually settled.
Honestly, regarding what she discovered today, Lin Tong was only angry inside, without any other emotions.
After all, one hand can’t clap alone, this matter can’t entirely be blamed on Ye Xuan.
In other words, it was Leng Qiuge and Liu Ying’s freedom; she is, in essence, a wife in name only and really had no ground to interfere too much.
Liu and little Ying themselves could accept that, there was nothing more she could say.
So, after venting her anger at Ye Xuan, Lin Tong quickly returned to calm as her resentment dissipated.
Then the question went back to square one.
Should she still proceed with what she decided today?
Last time, having waited for Ye Xuan all night, she was furious at seeing him coming out of the room next door with Leng Qiuge early in the morning, directly missing the chance in that wrath — later, even she herself regretted it several times.
What’s the big fuss?
Hadn’t she already accepted all this long ago? Who was she being haughty for?
If she hadn’t been so haughty at that time, perhaps today she would have already been Ye Xuan’s real wife, never needing to feel guilty and painful every night again...
"Proceed!"
Lin Tong’s resolve remained firm, secretly thinking, "I must still proceed, there can’t be any delay!"
Reason told Lin Tong, she really had no reason or need to delay anymore; the more she delayed, the more she’d just suffer and blame herself in the future.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, how many tomorrows follow?
As her beautiful eyes shifted, Lin Tong looked at Ye Xuan again, but now with a much softer gaze.
Ye Xuan was stunned immediately, hurriedly gesturing to show he wasn’t speaking.
Lin Tong pursed her lips and said impatiently, "You can talk to me now."
"Hmm?"
Ye Xuan was utterly dumbfounded, wife, aren’t you a bit too moody?
Lin Tong replied with a stern face, "Game over, not playing anymore."
"What?"
Ye Xuan was astonished, recalling Lin Tong’s words trying to fool Little Cloud, instantly realizing she was mitigating the awkwardness, and chuckled repeatedly, "Alright, alright, game over, wife, mua!"
"Hm!"
Lin Tong pouted, her pretty face inexplicably flushed, then proceeded to eat, pretended as if nothing happened and asked in an indifferent tone, "Do you have time tonight?"
"Ah?"
This time, it wasn’t just Ye Xuan; even Leng Qiuge and Liu Ying were surprised, raising their heads to look at Lin Tong.
Lin Tong’s brows slightly furrowed.
She liked using a displeased expression to cover up her inner shyness.
Leng Qiuge and Liu Ying quickly resumed eating.
Ye Xuan also came back to his senses, smiled warmly and said, "I’m free, definitely free! Hehe, if my wife needs me anywhere, even if the world ends, I’d make time to accompany you!"
"Alright then." Lin Tong nodded, "Come to my room at eight tonight."
This tone was an order that brooked no argument!
"What?!"
Ye Xuan was astonished, confused.
Eight o’clock tonight, come to your room?
What does this mean?
Is happiness coming too suddenly?
A moment ago, she was so angry, looking like she wanted to devour me whole, then suddenly she starts offering benefits?
Wife, your mind is really deep; I truly can’t fathom it!
Could it be... cough cough!
Could it be that today’s matter between Leng Qiuge and Liu Ying greatly impacted Lin Tong spiritually, making her panic, afraid to delay any longer?
"Cough cough!"
Lin Tong coughed twice, speaking expressionlessly, "Don’t overthink, just want you to come to my room to give me a massage."
"Massage?" Ye Xuan hadn’t quite processed it.
Lin Tong, somewhat impatient, "My spinal condition has acted up again recently."
"Oh..."
Ye Xuan nodded, feeling an indescribable sense of disappointment, "Alright, then at eight tonight, I’ll report to your room on time!"
Lin Tong didn’t say much more, buried her head, and ate her food.
While eating, she secretly glanced at Ye Xuan several times, noticing he looked utterly disappointed, she felt a wave of gloom.
Such a dimwit, I made my intentions so clear, yet he truly thinks it’s just a simple massage?
Despite feeling frustrated, Lin Tong secretly found it quite amusing.
The greater the expectation, the larger the disappointment.
Conversely, the fewer the expectations, the greater the surprise!
