Chapter 378: We Can Be More Straightforward

Third Young Master Ye figured the best method right now was to keep Chu Wuyou by his side at all times. Naturally, she would not have the opportunity to do something else within his sight.

The corners of his lips curled upward into a soft smile. Then, he rolled to the side gently to kiss the woman in his arms.

“Hmm.” She who was still sleeping soundly frowned subconsciously at the disturbance. With her eyes closed, she instinctively raised her hand to smack the man hard across the head.

The man had his guard down. He certainly did not expect she could attack in this semi-conscious state.

For a split second, he felt his head swimming. He might have had a concussion.

Little did he expect that stealing a kiss would cost him a concussion!!!

She shot her eyes open the next second and sighed silently upon witnessing the man glaring at her with one hand on the back of his head.

Did she just hit him?

But it was not all her fault. He deserved it for trying to kiss her in her sleep.

It suddenly occurred to her that she had become less alert. Her first reaction earlier should have been waking up from sleep immediately.

Why did she not do that?

It seemed that she still had her instinctive reaction despite that. However, she might have hit him with more force than she should have.

“Are you alright?” Chu Wuyou was starting to get worried upon seeing the man staring at her angrily in silence. Had she hit him so hard that he became dumb?

Although she was a woman, her defense skills were trained professionally. She was aware of the strength of that slap.

“What do you think?” Ye Lanchen continued glaring at her. Was she trying to murder her own husband?

How much harder could she have done it?

She could have killed him with that one slap.

An awkward smile spread across the woman’s face. She wanted to show him a polite smile but she could not bring herself to fake it the minute she met his gaze.

“Or you can hit me back if you like?” The determined look on his face gave her this idea.

He felt like laughing and shouting at her simultaneously. What was going on in this woman’s mind?

Hit her back?! Only she could have come up with that.

The man would feel too bad to do that.

However, a hint of light suddenly crossed his face. “Hmm, you hit me when I stole a kiss from you thus you have to kiss me first before I can hit you,” he said in a serious tone.

“We don’t have to be so rigorous. Forget about the kissing and just go straight to what comes next…” Her eyes widened. The kiss was not the point thus she reckoned they could skip that step altogether.

“Skip kissing and go to what comes next?” The corners of his lips curled upward into an enigmatic smile as he regarded her. Did she realize how flirty that sounded?

“Yup, that will do.” It still had not occurred to her because she was naturally less sensitive in this domain.

“It’s your idea.” The man flashed a smile before rolling over to kiss her on the lips before she could resist.
