Why Are You Touching Me, Then?!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Ke was shocked and blushed. She hugged the panda doll in her arms nervously.

Seeing that Xia Ke was awake, Jiang Chuanyao stopped in his tracks and suppressed the desire in his body. He looked at her. "You're awake? Are you afraid of pain? If you are, close your eyes later."

Xia Ke: "…" Of course, she was awake since her eyes were open, but… what did he mean by afraid of pain?

Xia Ke suddenly came back to her senses and shuddered. What did Jiang Chuanyao want to do?!

Jiang Chuanyao also realized that he was trying to find something to say. He said coldly, "You don't have to wait for me in the future and can just go ahead with your meal." With that, he continued upstairs.

Xia Ke struggled and protested unhappily, "But I made so many dishes. I want you to try them."

Jiang Chuanyao was a little surprised. No wonder he felt that the food in the dining hall was different from usual. It turned out that she had made it.

Xia Ke's stomach growled. She shrunk her neck awkwardly and pretended to smile foolishly. Her stomach growled at the right time.

Jiang Chuanyao glanced at Xia Ke, turned around, and carried her downstairs to the dining room. Even if he wanted her, he had to feed her first to prevent her from running out of strength.

In the dining room, Jiang Chuanyao pulled out a chair and sat down. Taking the bowl and chopsticks, he accompanied Xia Ke to eat.

"I'll heat up the dishes." Xia Ke was very happy. She carried the plate into the kitchen and then became as busy as a butterfly. One could see the man's suppressed desire in his eyes, but his gaze gradually softened. She was still young and innocent. She had just turned 19 today. If it weren't for his illness, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to touch her. She would probably cry later…

Xia Ke brought the hot lily soup to Jiang Chuanyao and sat down opposite the dining table. Although Jiang Chuanyao liked Xia Qing and she planned to leave, she would never have gotten that dress made by her mother if not for Jiang Chuanyao, so she wanted to thank him.

Jiang Chuanyao had no appetite. He wanted to take a few perfunctory bites, but he didn't expect the lily soup to be very sweet. It had an indescribably strange taste. The frustration in his body seemed to have soothed a lot, and the bowl of soup was unknowingly finished.

Smiling, Xia Ke took away the empty bowl in front of Jiang Chuanyao. "You can't drink too much. I'll make it for you again tomorrow." The herbs in the soup could calm his emotions, so he could only drink one bowl a day.

Jiang Chuanyao looked up. Xia Ke had actually guessed everything he was thinking? Under the warm light, Xia Ke smiled brightly at him. Her eyes were as bright as stars, making Jiang Chuanyao have the illusion that his bride was really a fool.

Xia Ke seemed to have realized that her behavior was too normal. Afraid that she would expose herself, she quickly went to the kitchen. However, she had just taken two steps when Jiang Chuanyao's cold voice sounded behind her. "Stop."

Xia Ke turned around uneasily.

Jiang Chuanyao tilted his head and asked in a low voice, "What happened to your foot?"

"My foot?" Xia Ke followed Jiang Chuanyao's gaze and realized that her right ankle was a little bruised. She said softly, "You pushed me last night…" She fell into the bathtub and bumped her ankle. At that time, she didn't notice anything. After buying clothes, she felt a little pain in her ankle and realized that it was bruised.

Before she could finish speaking, a black shadow blocked the light in front of her. Xia Ke took a step back uneasily. Was he going to flare up again? However, Jiang Chuanyao picked her up and placed her on the dining table. Then, he sat down in front of her and took off her shoe.

Xia Ke was stunned. In the next second, she wanted to retract her foot. However, Jiang Chuanyao tightened his grip and grabbed Xia Ke's calf. He said coldly, "This isn't the Xia family's house. In the future, you don't have to endure any injuries, understand?" With that, he leaned forward slightly and rubbed her bruised ankle with his palm.

Xia Ke's mind was blank. She wasn't wearing socks, and her feet were placed on Jiang Chuanyao's black pants, making her look even smaller and fairer. She had never had a man touch her ankle before. At this moment, she was so embarrassed that her breathing got all messy. She hurriedly pushed him. "Mr. Jiang, you don't have to do this. I'll go look for Uncle Qin."

Jiang Chuanyao stopped her. "You're a girl. You can't let a man touch your body casually, understand?"

Xia Ke originally wanted to look for Uncle Qin to get the medicine, but she didn't expect Jiang Chuanyao to misunderstand. She blurted out, "Then why are you still touching me?!" She had fallen asleep just now, but she could still feel someone touching her. When she was in the kitchen just now, she realized that the buttons on her chest had been undone! She was stunned! She didn't expect the cold and abstinent Jiang Chuanyao to do such a thing!
