Chapter 710: Chapter 712: Don’t Look
The maids had left, and Chu Lian immediately asked, "My lady, do you have a personal maid?"
"What’s the matter?"
"You’re pregnant now, and I’m not too comfortable with no one taking care of you by your side." Chu Lian thought, although he had married her, due to his family’s affairs, he couldn’t always be by her side.
Since she was inherently restless, he simply couldn’t rest easy. It was a must to have someone attend to her closely.
Wang Xiangxiang knew that Chu Lian was worried about her, and she too thought that his words made sense. Although she disliked having someone attending to her, for the sake of the child, it was better to be cautious. "Alright, then let’s do as you say and find a maid to attend to me."
"Alright." As Chu Lian spoke, he handed over the clothes the maids had brought to Wang Xiangxiang. "Quickly change into them; they’re all ready."
Wang Xiangxiang was anxious too. Her in-laws must still be waiting for her to serve tea. She, this daughter-in-law, had gotten up so late, she was afraid she would be gossiped about.
She snatched the clothes from Chu Lian’s hands and without a thought, began to untie her nightgown’s sash.
Chu Lian was dumbfounded at that moment, his heart pounding. He hadn’t expected Xiangxiang to be so unabashed, starting to change her clothes right in front of him. He swallowed hard, feeling incredibly thirsty.
As Wang Xiangxiang untied her sash, her mind buzzed, and she widened her eyes at Chu Lian. Her face instantly reddened—what was she doing? She was completely unguarded in front of Chu Lian.
She glared at him fiercely, "Don’t look."
Then, holding the clothes, she ran to the nearby bathroom. Once there, she leaned against the wall, covering her chest with her hands, her heartbeat fierce.
In the room, seeing her shy demeanor, Chu Lian’s lips slightly curved upwards. He shouted toward the bathroom, "You’re my wife; there’s no part of you I haven’t seen. Otherwise, how would we have gotten this child?"
Wang Xiangxiang’s face reddened even more, recalling that day. Although her mind had been unclear, she distinctly knew she had been very proactive and happy.
She patted her cheeks with her hands, smiling with pursed lips, "Just don’t look regardless."
"Not looking, not looking, quickly change."
Wang Xiangxiang quickly changed in the bathroom and came out, only to find Chu Lian changing his clothes. She immediately turned around, covering her face with her hands, "Couldn’t you have given a warning before changing?"
"..." Who could have anticipated her speed? He had thought he could change in the meantime.
Chu Lian dressed leisurely. "It’s alright, you can see at any time."
Wang Xiangxiang turned around, only to find Chu Lian already standing in front of her.
Chu Lian merely looked at her shy demeanor, wanting to tease her a bit. Of course, he knew their son’s existence. Otherwise, why would he struggle so hard?
"Alright, no more teasing. Let’s hurry and wash up; mom and dad are still waiting."
"Alright."
Afterwards, the two of them quickly washed up, and then sat in front of the dressing table, doing their hair and make-up.
Once everything was ready, they left the room, with Chu Lian leading Wang Xiangxiang to the front hall.
