Power and WealthChapter 92 – Holding hands!
Buy me a coffee or tip me on or .
Dong Xuebing quickly retracts his hand, but it was too late.
He could still explain that he wanted to hold her hand, andtouching her thighs was an accident as she moved her hand away. Dong Xuebingcould still have Aunt Xuan’s trust. But the stupid Dong Xuebing thought hecould still use BACK today and did not remove his hand at the first moment. Heeven squeezed Qu Yunxuan’s thigh a few times. The worse thing was he stillcommented on her legs. Damn. How can Dong Xuebing explain himself? There was noway for him to get out of this situation! He couldn’t be telling her that therewas a mosquito on her leg and he was helping her to kill the mosquito. That’sbullshit!
Dong Xuebing wanted to just kill himself. He had caused atragedy for himself!
Ring, ring, ring...... The iPhone 4 on the table rang. It wasAunt Xuan’s phone.
Dong Xuebing swallowed his saliva. Hee was thinking of agood excuse to explain his actions just now.
“Hello? Mum?” Qu Yunxuan answered the call.
Dong Xuebing dare not to look at Qu Yunxuan. He knows hewill be dead when Qu Yunxuan ends this phone call.
How long more can he live? 30 seconds? 50 seconds? 60seconds?
“...... Yes, I have eaten....... I am fine by myself. You don’t needto come over this weekend...... No need to bring anything. I have everything I needhere...... How are you feeling recently? Oh...... ok....... Don’t keep staying at home. Ifyou are free, go out for a walk....... Yes..... Ok..... ok...... Alright..... Fine..... Ifthere is nothing else, I will hang up. Ok.....” A few seconds later, she placedher phone on the coffee table.
It was silent.
5 seconds......
10 seconds......
Dong Xuebing knew he cannot feign dead anymore. He turned aroundand did not know what to say in his current state. “Aunt Xuan, your legs...... howthick is your legs? Your legs seem to be slimmer than mine...... Hahahaha...... Errr......I just want to see whose legs are slimmer.” After sprouting this nonsense, DongXuebing nearly gave himself a tight slap. What sort of excuse was this? If heused the explanation of a bug was on her leg, even 3-year-olds will not believehim. But the reason for comparing the thickness of legs...... even 1-year-olds willnot believe him!
Qu Yunxuan’s neck was reddish. She continued to stare,angrily at him.
Dong Xuebing was embarrassed. “Your leg should be slimmer......Cough..... Yours is slimmer than mine.”
Qu Yunxuan stared at Dong Xuebing for a few seconds, beforereaching over to pull Dong Xuebing’s ear. She twisted his ear, “You brat! Howcan you have no respect for your elders? You can just ask and not touch. Whosaid you can touch? You...... If it is another woman, she would have slapped you!”
Eh? For real?
Aunt Xuan’s tone...... doesn’t sound like she was angry.
Yeah! Saved!
“I am talking to you. Do you hear me?”
Qu Yunxuan smacked Dong Xuebing’s head: “Even if you arecurious, you should not do this. If you want to know anything, you can ask me.I did not say I will not answer your questions!” She raised her hand. “Don’tthink I don’t dare to hit you. If you touch me again, I will smack you to death!You hear me?”
Hah! Do you look like you are going to hit me?
Dong Xuebing could feel his blood rushing to his head. Hewas excited! Was this the result of changing my appearance and beingmeticulous? If not, Aunt Xuan will not forgive him for grabbing her thighs. Shedoesn’t seem to be angry at all.
“...... I am asking you a question!!”
“Yes, yes. I remember what you said. I will not touch you.”
Qu Yunxuan smacked Dong Xuebing’s arm. “That’s more likeit.” She reached over to take her teacup and picked up the newspaper. She thenrolled her eyes at Dong Xuebing. “Women’s legs are all slimmer at the calvesand thicker at the thighs. If you compare our thighs, my thighs are thickerthan yours. Do you understand?”
“Ok.”
Qu Yunxuan did not continue the conversation and continuereading the papers.
Dong Xuebing peeked at Qu Yunxuan and thought to himself. IfAunt Xuan were not interested in me, she would surely be angry, and I will notget away with only some scoldings. She would have slapped me. But...... Aunt Xuandid not hit him and only scolded him. This....... was not what a normal woman do!
5 minutes passed......
10 minutes passed.....
Dong Xuebing was sitting on the sofa fidgeting. He wasrubbing his hands and thinking whether if he should make another attempt. ButAunt Xuan had told him not to touch her. Will she get angry? But the mood nowwas right, and if he were to miss this opportunity, it would be a pity. DongXuebing was weighing the pros and cons. Finally, he made his decision. He mustnot be indecisive. He must give it a try! He had even touched Aunt Xuan’sthighs! What’s there to be afraid of? At most he will get a beating from her!
Dong Xuebing look over at Aunt Xuan’s hand which was holdingon to the newspaper. This time, Dong Xuebing did not dare to close his eyes. Heleaned forward and reach out for her hand. His hand reached her palms andgrabbed her 4 slender fingers. “Aunt Xuan, is your fingers thinner than mine?”
Qu Yunxuan immediately retracted her hand and stared at DongXuebing, blushing. “Mine is thinner!”
Seeing Qu Yunxuan pulling her hand away from his, he wasfrustrated. He did not want to give up and reach over to hold her hand again.
“Irritating fellow!” Qu Yunxuan had an angry expression onher face and pulled her hand back and slapped Dong Xuebing’s thighs severaltimes. “Didn’t you hear what I said just now? I will hit you!”
Dong Xuebing looked at her. He was determined to hold herhands. He does not care about her angry expression and reach over to hold herhand tightly.
“Are you trying to bully me?” Qu Yunxuan pinched DongXuebing’s thigh with her right hand. “You are making me mad.” But this time......Qu Yunxuan did not pull back her left hand. She turned and faced anotherdirection and held the papers with her right hand to continue reading.
Dong Xuebing looked at her and squeezed her small handsoftly.
Qu Yunxuan’s brows twitched but did not have any otherreaction.
Dong Xuebing squeezed her hand lightly again. He felt AuntXuan’s fingers moved slightly and pinched his palm softly. It was like ticklinghis palm. Dong Xuebing immediately spread his fingers and interlocked with herfingers. It was like how lovers hold hands.
Qu Yunxuan stared at him and turned away. She slowly......tightens her grip on his hand.
At this very moment, Dong Xuebing could feel his heartracing. That’s it! He had successfully held Aunt Xuan’s hand!!!
Translator’snotes: Congrats!!! After so many chapters, he finally held her hands.
