Chapter 209 Xie Zhiyan: Shu Ying, I want to kiss you

Shu Ying tilted her head back, her breath warm against her face, and squinted her eyes in enjoyment: "Ding Rumei has left, so there won't be so much trouble in this house anymore. The two children's schooling will soon be on track. Now we just need to resolve Xie Wanying's matter, and then the house will truly be peaceful."

She reflected on the recent events, thankfully those who had caused her distress were gone.

With her two children in school, she has plenty of time to do what she wants.

The only thing that's giving her a headache right now is the gossipy adults in the compound.

Because of her problematic background, there have always been a few people who are unwilling to accept her.

Everyone has the right to like or dislike someone, which is perfectly reasonable, and Shu Ying didn't take it to heart at first.

But those people are stirring up trouble with their own children, always secretly trying to bully Yangyang and Yueyue. Continuing to ignore them like this is not a solution.

Children are like blank slates; what they ultimately become depends on the guidance of adults.

Every time Shuying saw Yangyang and Yueyue return looking dejected, she felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.

"We still need to find some time to have a proper talk with Xie Zhiyan about the children's psychological issues."

Shu Ying washed her hair and felt much lighter. She estimated that Xie Zhiyan should be back around this time.

She took a bath towel that was drying nearby, simply dried her hair, and then put on a new nightgown after drying herself off.

Shu Ying is extremely particular about the fabric of her pajamas; they must be lightweight and breathable, relatively loose, and the fabric must be very soft.

When Shu Ying came out of the space, her hair was not completely dry. She lay on her side on the bed, supporting her head with one hand, her black hair as smooth as silk.

When Xie Zhiyan pushed open the door and came in, he saw Shu Ying's perfect figure. She wasn't very thin, but she had been having some worries lately, which made her a little thinner than before.

The girl's fair skin seemed to glow under the warm light. Shu Ying heard the door open and looked up to meet Xie Zhiyan's deep gaze.

Her long legs were exposed, and a large expanse of skin was revealed on her chest. Her flustered little movements were alluring yet she was unaware of them.

"You're back. How did things go with your discussions with Mom and Dad?"

Shu Ying was about to get up, supporting herself with one hand, when Xie Zhiyan's breath hitched and he stared at her intently.

She doesn't even need to dress up specially; just by appearing in this room, she becomes an irreplaceable presence.

He swallowed hard, straightening his stiff back even more.

As Shu Ying's nightgown strap slipped off her shoulder, he strode over, his gaze becoming even more intense, and naturally sat down on the edge of the bed, approaching Shu Ying.

The space next to her suddenly caved in a little, and Shu Ying looked up to meet the other person's burning gaze, only then belatedly realizing the feelings between them.

She turned her head away in a fluster, a blush creeping onto her face.

Shu Ying had just taken a shower, and her body was still slightly damp. Her hair smelled wonderful, as if she were bathing in a sea of ​​flowers.

This smell was fatally attractive to Xie Zhiyan, and he suddenly leaned forward.

Shu Ying's eyes were unfocused, and her heart was pounding like a deer.

Although they have been married for a long time, strictly speaking, their married life has only just begun.

The wedding night was not a pleasant memory for Shu Ying, especially when she thought about seeing Xie Zhiyan training in the hospital and the strong muscle lines on his shoulders, which made her even more uneasy.

Xie Zhiyan suddenly stretched out an arm and approached Shu Ying. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his face was reflected in her pupils, as if at this moment, she could only see him.

A wisp of Shu Ying's hair peeked out from behind her ear, and Xie Zhiyan's fingers touched her ear.

The warm touch made her feel a little uncomfortable. He gently brushed aside her stray hairs with his fingers until Shu Ying's entire face was in front of him.

The girl's eyes were glistening with tears, and she looked at him shyly. Her delicate features were flawless, as if even the heavens had blessed her with such a beautiful face.

Shu Ying's heart was pounding so hard that she could feel it was about to jump out of her chest.

It was a strange feeling; even though they had known each other for a long time, they still seemed like teenagers experiencing their first love.

Shu Ying felt a little contempt for her own thoughts. She was already a mother of two, yet she was still thinking about girlish infatuation.

Xie Zhiyan's shadow loomed over her. She tilted her head back slightly and asked nervously, "What... what are you going to do?"

Xie Zhiyan smiled, staring at her intently from close range.

Shu Ying's skin was so smooth and delicate, it looked like a freshly peeled egg.

His Adam's apple bobbed, some emotion rising within him, and his voice tightened—

"Shuying, I want to kiss you."

Shu Ying had been mentally prepared, but he just said it so bluntly, and her face burned even more, her back felt like it was on fire.

Seeing that she hadn't said anything, Xie Zhiyan assumed that they had been apart for too long and Shu Ying hadn't gotten used to it yet.

He sighed and stepped back a little, maintaining a safe distance between them.

"Alright, I'll give you some time to adjust. We'll take things slowly and steadily. I won't force you if you don't want to."

Shu Ying is a shy person who doesn't like being forced. He also hopes that one day she will accept their intimacy.

As he turned away, Shu Ying's eyes still held a hint of confusion.

Realizing that he was overthinking things, she quickly propped herself up and grabbed Xie Zhiyan's collar with one hand, looking somewhat anxious.

"I didn't say I didn't want to."

Her eyes reflected the light, and her mind went blank after she realized what she was saying.

"I...I didn't either..."
