The Aftermath of Having Slept with the Villain
Chapter 227: Stand-in Lover (39)

World Seven. Stand-in Lover (39)

Chi Yu didn’t notice Xue Xue’s expression.

In fact, the first thing he noticed was that Xue Xue was standing on the carpet without slippers.

They bought that carpet at the Christmas market in Koworsk not long ago. The workmanship is not inferior to that of the first tier brands. The material is soft, the pattern is exquisite, and the surface is embroidered with a very festive style totem and two lovely elks wearing Christmas hats.

Xue Xue liked this carpet very much, and decided to buy it at the first sight, even though the price of this carpet was less than one-tenth of the previous one.

The dark color makes the feet more transparent, and the clear veins are like purple vines climbing on a piece of white jade.

Chi Yu put down the suitcase, took two steps forward, and knelt down in front of Xue Xue.

This movement was performed smoothly and gracefully by Chi Yu, as if it had been repeated countless times.

“Why don’t you wear shoes?” The man’s big hand grasped her small feet, and the temperature from the palm made Xue Xue tremble all over, feeling like something was melting inside her body. “Don’t even wear socks? Aren’t you afraid of catching cold?”

Chi Yu looked up at Xue Xue with disapproval in his eyes.

The face was still the same face, no matter how amazing it was before, she has gotten used to it after getting along for a long time, but for some reason, at this moment, Xue Xue suddenly has a thrilling feeling rippling in the lake of her heart.

At this moment, Chi Yu realized something was wrong.

Xue Xue is rarely in such a daze, like a lost child, at a loss.

“Why did you become stupid all of a sudden?” Chi Yu chuckled, and in his curved peach blossom eyes, broken lights flickered like stars scattered in the night sky. “Or do you miss me too much? Huh?”

Chi Yu said while gently rubbing Xue Xue’s ankle with his fingertips.

It was as if a burst of electric current was rubbed out, along the blood vessels, stimulating the whole body.

Xue Xue finally recovered.

“I…”

“Hmm?”

The words had come to his lips, but Xue Xue was a little timid to say them.

“What’s the matter?” Chi Yu saw her hesitation and joked. “You’re really not quite right today. Is the banquet too tiring? I didn’t expect that even the boss would work hard on this kind of day.”

Chi Yu bit each particle at the end of the sentence a bit harder, and created a relaxed atmosphere with his raised tone.

The man’s beautiful eyebrows revealed a touch of tenderness.

It was a look that only appeared when he stared at her.

For a moment, Xue Xue felt that all the entanglements seemed ridiculous.

Those heavy emotions disappeared in an instant, leaving no trace.

Since things will always have to be faced one day, why not solve them as soon as possible? Everyone understands the truth, and Xue Xue understands it even more, but she is an ordinary person after all, and she will also fall into the confusion and contradictions of ordinary people.

“Xue Xue?”

“I know everything.” Under Chi Yu’s puzzled gaze, Xue Xue said clearly one word after another. “Xue Dehui told me everything about your past, Chi Yu, or…Lin Chiyu.”

When he heard the words “Lin Chiyu”, Chi Yu’s face changed.

It was rare for Xue Xue to see such intense emotions in the man, and shown in front of others without concealment.

Most of the time, Chi Yu always showed three points of restraint, three points of repression. Unless he was particularly stimulated, he usually showed only a small fluctuation in his heart.

As if suddenly facing the cold windy land, the expression on the man’s face suddenly became gloomy. Although Xue Xue felt that this was just Chi Yu’s subconscious reaction, she still couldn’t help shivering when he met the gloomy gaze.

Like a wild beast stepping over the corpse of its prey, with a bloody smell.

At this time, Chi Yu’s hand was still on Xue Xue’s skin, so he naturally felt her fear.

In an instant, it was like waking up from a big dream.

Chi Yu stood up on his knees.

It was also at this time that Xue Xue realized how big the height gap between her and Chi Yu was, especially when the man looked down at her, the sense of oppression exuded made people want to retreat to a safe distance involuntarily.

But Xue Xue knew that she couldn’t do anything at this time. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴøvᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

This was a gut feeling.

A strong, unfounded but blindly believed intuition.

The next second, Chi Yu took her hand.

“Xue Dehui’s mouth is tighter than I thought.” As he said, Chi Yu took Xue Xue to sit on the sofa, and at the same time picked up the indoor shoes thrown aside and put them on for her. “Even if you turn on the heating, you still have to be careful, or you’ll feel uncomfortable when you catch a cold like last time.”

Chi Yu’s tone was soft, as if coaxing a child.

But Xue Xue focused all his attention on the first sentence he said.

“You… warned Xue Dehui?”

“Warning?” Chi Yu frowned, with a half-smile. “No, I just reminded him what to say and what not to say.”

“…”

Is this any different from a warning?

“So… are you really Lin Chiyu?”

Chi Yu didn’t answer this question, but looked at Xue Xue with serious and focused eyes. “Actually, I’ve made up my mind when I come back this time.”

“Huh?”

“I’ll tell you everything.”

For…our future.
