Jiang Ju frowned, but didn’t dare to protest loudly. She could only complain softly, “I already said that I’m full, but you still insist on forcing me to drink soup. How can there be such a domineering and unreasonable person in this world?” Du Xi said, “Child, although I’m ten years older than you, I’m not old enough to be deaf. If you want to complain about me next time, try your best to pick times when I’m not around. Otherwise, don’t cry when you’re beaten up.”

Jiang Ju was drinking the soup in small sips. When she heard this, she froze and looked at him in surprise. With a stunned expression, she asked, “I spoke in such a soft voice, yet you still heard me?” “Yes, people scold me behind my back often, so I’ve mastered super hearing skills. Impressive, right?” Jiang Ju was speechless. Was this something to be proud of?

Jiang Ju tried her best to drink half a bowl of soup, but couldn’t. She secretly touched her bloated stomach and burped. Seeing that the child was indeed full, Du Xi naturally wouldn’t force her to finish the soup. He reached out and brought the soup in front of him. Then, he opened his mouth and drank it all in one gulp. Those who didn’t know better would think that he was drinking alcohol.

She had long known that he ate quickly, but she still felt unaccustomed to it when she saw him. However, Jiang Ju was no longer as awkward as before. After drinking, she couldn’t leave directly, but whenever she looked up, she would see the huge photo on the wall. She could only lower her head and play with her fingers.

Du Xi had no intention of leaving after eating. He tapped his fingers on the coffee table to attract Jiang Ju’s attention, then he asked her, “Don’t you like the headbands I bought for you? Why aren’t you wearing them?” Jiang Ju didn’t say anything, so Du Xi raised his chin and said, “Go find one to wear. I want to see it.”

Jiang Ju fiddled with his fingers, but didn’t move. She was embarrassed by his gaze, so she explained softly, “It’s too small. If I wear it for too long, my head will hurt.” The ears on the headband were very heavy. If she didn’t want the ears to fall off, she had to tighten the headband. Jiang Ju had only worn it for slightly more than three hours yesterday, but her head still hurt.

Du Xi had never worn these things before, so of course he didn’t know that they would cause headaches. Now that he heard her say it, he grabbed Jiang Ju’s wrist and pulled her to his side. Before Jiang Ju could react, she felt their legs pressed against each other. Just as she was about to get up and move away, she was blocked by a long and strong leg. The man’s leg was pressed against her calf, and his intense masculine aura made her feel suffocated. The heat from her wrist and the pressure on her calf made her unable to move.

Before she could speak, Du Xi’s broad chest gradually approached. She wanted to retreat, but a pair of large hands grabbed her slender neck from behind. “Be good. Let me see where you’re hurt.”

A low and magnetic voice sounded above her head. As he spoke, the smell of mint assaulted her. It was quite refreshing. Jiang Ju blushed slightly as she turned her head slightly and allowed Du Xi’s rough hands to carefully brush away the stray hair beside her ear. As he got closer, Du Xi could smell the faint scent of shampoo from her hair and the fragrance of her body. “Are you a fairy? Why do you smell so good?”

Jiang Ju didn’t answer him, but Du Xi didn’t care. He carefully brushed her hair away. There was a thumb-sized red mark behind her ear that was very eye-catching on her fair skin. Du Xi rubbed the tip of his tongue against his back teeth as he thought to himself, “Why is this child’s skin so tender? Even a headband can even make her skin so red. How can I make love to her in the future?”

In the future, if he accidentally lost control of his strength and other people saw the traces left on her body, wouldn’t they think that he was a domestic abuser?

“It’s red from the pressure. I should be fine now. It’ll go away in two days.” The red mark was too eye-catching. Du Xi’s throat went dry and he didn’t dare to look at it anymore. After saying that, he looked away.

After he let go of her, Jiang Ju immediately moved to the side and sat on the sofa. His expression was tense, like that of a primary school student listening to a teacher’s lecture.

Neither of them spoke. After a few minutes of silence, Jiang Ju carefully raised her head to look at Du Xi. After he looked over, she quickly retracted her gaze, but couldn’t help but look up at him again a few seconds later. After Jiang Ju glanced at him warily six to seven times, Du Xi couldn’t hold it in anymore and leaned towards her. “Why are you acting so sneaky? If you want to look at me, just look at me openly.”

Jiang Ju raised her head and stared at him blankly. In the end, she couldn’t help but say, “Your leg is still pressing on my leg. My leg is going numb.”
