Chapter 839 The Blush On Her Face Betrayed Her
Lu Hetian did not seem to mind. “Your feet aren’t dirty. Just look at the water, it’s so clean. There’s no need to waste it.”
Ling Lihua had no reply for this. However, she remembered something and immediately frowned. “This isn’t right. Why are you washing your feet at my place? It’s already late. Shouldn’t you return to turn in?”
Lu Hetian did not look at her, but a suspicious blush appeared on his face.
When Ling Lihua saw that he was not speaking, she got annoyed and shoved him. “Hurry up and finish washing. Once you’re done, you should go back. I’m going to sleep soon.”
Lu Hetian had no choice but to speed up his washing.
Once he was done, he dried his feet and brought the basin of water out with him.
When Ling Lihua saw this, she was preparing to get off the bed to close the door. However, to her surprise, Lu Hetian returned once more, and had even closed the room door behind him.
Ling Lihua’s eyes narrowed with some malevolence.
“Why aren’t you leaving?”
Lu Hetian had taken it upon himself to take off his outer robe and head straight to the bedside. He said gently, “Where you are, that’s where I’ll be.”
Ling Lihua found this to be a bit too mushy and reprimanded him, “I can’t sleep with you here.”
Not to mention, she was not used to this. They had separated for such a long time and had not shared a bed for more than ten years. Now that he suddenly wanted to sleep with her, she found it a little difficult to accept it with an open heart.
Lu Hetian only had an inner garment left on him. Even though he was close to forty, he was still tall and towering in physique with good-looking features.
Ling Lihua noticed this and she evaded her eyes unnaturally.
Lu Hetian bent over with his hands placed down on each side of her. Something in his dark eyes seemed to be anticipating something.
He gulped as he watched the woman, who was right in front of him. His eyes darkened as he stared at her and his voice was hoarse. “If you can’t sleep, we can still do something else.”
Ling Lihua was not a young girl. She was now a mother of two and she immediately understood the hidden meaning behind his words.
“Lu Hetian, don’t you dare push your luck!” She had only just forgiven him and this man already had such filthy thoughts in his mind.
Even though Lu Hetian was a little apprehensive about angering her, he was the Grand Duke, after all, and was someone who led three armies. Even after hearing her words, he did not back off and instead forcefully pressed her onto the bed.
“Lihua, we are husband and wife. Anything we may do is only right and natural.” Ling Lihua’s heart skipped a beat as she broke out in goosebumps all over. She pushed him away with all her might. “I don’t want to. We’ve just reconciled and without my permission, you’re not allowed to touch…”
She was stunned before she even managed to finish her words.
Lu Hetian’s slightly cold lips had pressed against hers.
She jumped at the sudden chill and when she realized what was happening, she instinctively lifted her hand.
However, before her palm was able to slap his face, Lu Hetian grabbed it with ease.
He looked into her eyes. There was a determination in his gaze to get what he wanted.
This time, he refused to give in to her.
They might have been separated for years, but they had once loved each other before.
If he gave in to her now, he could not imagine how much longer he needed to wait.
He rubbed his fingers as his dark gaze drilled into her, his voice had turned husky…
She bit her lip and stared at him furiously, but the blush on her face betrayed her.
After a while, Lu Hetian looked a little bashfully at Ling Lihua.
She suddenly found this funny.
“You dumb old thing.”
Lu Hetian gave a light cough and felt even more embarrassed.
He sounded slightly aggrieved.
