She was paralyzed with nervousness.
'I mean, it would help if you stop saying words like 'seducing'!'
She pulled away.
Guan Xi quickly explained, "Master Jiu, did you misunderstand something? I'm going to sleep, of course, I'm wearing pajamas. As for the massage..."
Alright, she had to admit, it seemed a bit misleading.
"I see how hard you work to support your family so I wanted to do something nice for you. Besides, as your wife, one of my responsibilities is to take care of you."
Xiao Jiuyan sneered, "What do you know about marital responsibilities?"
"Of course... of course I know some." She actually felt a little guilty because she did not want to fulfill her biggest responsibility.
After a pause, she whispered again, "I am not trying to seduce you."
She just wanted to some of her wifely duties!
He was turning it into some ugly.
She didn't have any nefarious intentions. She literally just wanted to give him a massage to ease his tensions.
It was him who took it as a double entendre.
Guan Xi blinked her big eyes at him and said in a soft but sincere voice, "Master, I want to give you a massage to help you relax. You helped me today so I want to thank you. There's nothing else to it..."
Xiao Jiuyan did not deny that it was him who fixed her situation. Instead, he demanded, "Come and give me a massage, then."
'Huh?'
"Master Jiu, didn't you just..."
"Aren't you the one who's insisting on showing me your gratitude?" he interrupted her calmly.
"Oh... yes!"
She dodged a bullet! She rubbed her hands together, eager to start.
Xiao Jiuyan sat on the bed. Guan Xi took off her indoor slippers and climbed onto the bed, positioning herself behind him. Once they were both settled, she began her massage.
While massaging his shoulders, she asked, "Master Jiu, is the pressure okay?"
"It's okay."
She asked again, "Master Jiu, does it hurt when I press here?"
"No."
"Master Jiu, if you feel any pain, please let me know immediately."
The cold man, who was enjoying the VIP treatment that his wife was giving him, said, "Okay."
.
Throughout the massage, she would ask him from time to time if the pressure she was applying was okay for him. He maintained his cold composure and only bit out one-word answers. Guan Xi finally took the hint and simply shut her mouth.
Their massage session lasted for almost half an hour.
She quietly watched her husband whose eyes were closed. He looked like he was enjoying her touch.
"You're all done, Master Jiu," she said as she retracted her hands.
Xiao Jiuyan opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Guan Xi who was kneeling behind him.
When he turned to her, Guan Xi instinctively pulled her lips into a sweet smile.
Under the light, her pink cheeks appeared more luminous and her big black eyes more watery.
Xiao Jiuyan's eyes, however, were dark with restraint.
