Chapter 24: Feeling Pretty Good

Hu Yao clearly didn’t know that Jiang Han was saying that on purpose, and she completely lost the composure she had at the beginning.

It’s true that she had been treated coldly by the Hu family for so many years, and she had become indifferent to many things. But she wasn’t actually that old, and her actual mental age was still that of a sixteen-year-old girl.

After waking up, she gradually accepted her current situation. No matter how bad Jiang Han’s reputation was, he had genuinely raised her for a few years. Whether it was because she had given him a son or not, she was afraid of him but still felt a bit grateful. If Hu Guifen had sold her to the old cripple, things might have been far worse.

Occasionally, she would notice subtle signs of his patience towards her, different from how he treated others. She had also had the most intimate relationship with him, and in front of him, some of her suppressed emotions would unconsciously surface.

Seeing her like this, as if the sky had fallen, Jiang Han felt a little better. He reached out and lifted her chin, tilting her head up so he could look down at her panicked and aggrieved eyes. He snorted coldly.

“Wash it when it’s dirty!”

He bent down and leaned close to her, deliberately saying, “This time, I can wash you! Wash anywhere!”

Hu Yao met his blatantly suggestive gaze, and some fragmented images flashed through her mind. Her face stiffened.

It was a memory from when she was only a few years old. In the middle of the night, she had gotten her period and her stomach was hurting. She was so scared she thought she was going to die. She cried and woke Jiang Han up, begging him to save her. Jiang Han impatiently yelled at her again. She… she cried and slapped his face with her blood-stained hand.

In her memory, Jiang Han’s face had turned black as if he wanted to slap her flat. Later… he angrily chased her out of the room, but after a few minutes, he came back with a dark face and picked her up, clumsily and awkwardly cleaning her up.

It seemed like he had really been good to her.

Most men thought that a woman’s monthly blood was a very unlucky thing, and they wouldn’t even touch it. She had even slapped him in the face…

Hu Yao’s eyes darted around, and she had an indescribable feeling.

He was still pinching her chin and saying intimidating words that didn’t seem fake: “Take off your clothes!”

After his words fell, Hu Yao’s full, rosy lips pursed slightly. She lowered her eyelids, and after a few seconds, she lifted her white hand and slowly untied her clothes.

Her skin was very white, and the moon was bright and clear tonight. The dim light made her snow-white skin even more lustrous, and it was already soft to the touch. She sat cross-legged on the bed, her hair loose, very obedient to his words.

At noon, she had been wearing a dark green little shirt, but now it was blue. The delicate and fragile straps were wrapped around her white neck and waist, attracting attention and tempting. The fullness they enclosed was even more…

Jiang Han’s breath hitched, becoming heavy. His eyes darkened.

Now it was his turn to feel uncomfortable. The fire in his lower abdomen was growing larger and larger.

“Jiang Han, you’re bleeding from your nose!” Hu Yao exclaimed, looking up at him with a startled expression.

“Damn it.”

Jiang Han’s face turned black. He casually wiped his nose, cursed, and his expression became even worse.

He met her gaze and inexplicably felt embarrassed. He gritted his teeth and roared at her, “Are you happy?”

Hu Yao was innocent and bewildered. Where did he see her being happy?

She was about to shake her head when he pressed her down on the bed again, angry and humiliated. He fiercely bit her exposed shoulder.

He also unceremoniously grabbed those two soft mounds.

“I’ll break your legs tomorrow!”

He inexplicably yelled at her.

Tears welled up in Hu Yao’s eyes. She was pinned under him, and her body was also aching from his rough kneading.

The shoulder he bit was the same side he had hit her on at noon, and now it hurt even more!

In the end, he didn’t do anything to her without restraint, as he had said before.

But it wasn’t much better either. Hu Yao blushed and clumsily washed her hands clean of the dirt. She rummaged through the wardrobe and found a pair of underpants to give him.

He… he didn’t even close the door when he took a shower!

Hu Yao turned her head away, half-turned her body, and raised her hand to hand him the underpants. Her voice was very low: “Here you go.”

She held his underpants with two fingers, as if they were hot. She didn’t want to touch them.

Jiang Han thought about how she had folded all the clothes in the wardrobe neatly after she was done, except for his underpants, which were still crumpled up and thrown on the floor.

He raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly again. He could easily see through her thoughts.

“I’m taking a shower in my own house, why would I close the door! Come closer! Haven’t you seen it? Come and see!” Jiang Han was much more open-minded than Hu Yao. He didn’t mind her looking at him at all.

Hu Yao took a deep breath. She knew that if she didn’t do as he said, he would be unhappy again. She gathered her courage, turned around, looked at him without looking away, her eyes pure and clear. She handed him his underpants seriously and firmly: “Here you go.”

“…”

Jiang Han took them without saying a word and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

He was inexplicably angry again. Hu Yao was confused. She thought he was really hard to please.

After all this tossing and turning, it was already very late. Jiang Han took a cold shower, and the two of them settled down to sleep.

Hu Yao’s pillow was still over by Jiang Xiaochao’s side, and she was forced to share his pillow with him.

Their heads were very close together tonight, and their bodies were inevitably close together.

For the past few nights, Hu Yao had been sleeping on her own pillow, and there was a bit of distance between them. Jiang Han would touch her when he wanted to, but when he didn’t, he wouldn’t be clingy with her. They would each sleep on their own.

Now it felt a little different. Hu Yao’s arm was touching his solid body, and she moved uncomfortably.

“What are you moving around for? If you don’t want to sleep, go outside and catch mosquitoes!”

In the darkness, Jiang Han’s voice sounded a bit impatient.

Hu Yao pouted, clasped her hands over her stomach, and closed her eyes.

It was strange to say, she used to get cramps when she had her period, but now she didn’t feel anything at all. It was so good.

Without thinking about anything else, she quickly fell asleep…

Go.

Jiang Han, however, couldn’t sleep. Her messy hair was tangled around his neck, tickling him.

He could hear her even breathing. Turning his head to look at her, he saw her sleeping so soundly. Annoyed, he carelessly pushed her annoying hair to the other side, thinking he should get it cut for her someday!

Hu Yao didn’t know about his thoughts on her hair. She slept very quietly, completely still once she was asleep.

Jiang Xiaochao was different. He had all sorts of strange sleeping positions. He didn’t know who he got it from, his father didn’t sleep like that.

Not like his dad or his mom, he was just asking for a beating!

Jiang Han looked at Hu Yao for a while with amusement, pulled her soft body into his arms, and closed his eyes to sleep.

Before, those scoundrels who used to hang out with him got married. At first, they all rushed home to say they were going to sleep with their wives every night. He never thought he’d go back and see Hu Yao, and he’d actually want to hold her!

But now, it felt pretty good.
