Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 707

At that moment, she was trembling with extreme panic.

Even He Yuzhu, who was standing to the side, could clearly feel her body trembling.

It seems that this accident really scared the little girl.

Seeing Huang Zhirou's terrified and helpless appearance, He Yuzhu felt a pang of pity.

He slowly reached out his arm and gently embraced Huang Zhirou's fragrant shoulders, pulling her closer so she could comfortably lean on his broad shoulders.

Then, he lowered his head and whispered in her ear in an extremely soft voice:

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here. You can rest assured that nothing will go wrong."

Although she heard He Yuzhu's words of comfort, Huang Zhirou was still shaken. She hesitated and stammered:

"But……"

Huang Zhirou's mind was in complete turmoil, and she had no time to consider that He Yuzhu had crossed the line today. His large hand was freely roaming and caressing her delicate shoulder.

He Yuzhu was overjoyed because Huang Zhirou didn't react to his intimate actions at all today. So he became bolder and rubbed his hand back and forth on her smooth and delicate shoulder, enjoying the silky touch.

At first, Huang Zhiru was filled with fear and unease, but as time passed, her fear gradually dissipated and she calmed down.

Only then did she realize with a start that He Yuzhu's large hand was still on her shoulder.

"Boss~"

Huang Zhirou was extremely shy, her cheeks flushed like the sunset, and her voice was so sweet it could drip water, as she softly called out.

However, He Yuzhu feigned composure and asked with an innocent expression:

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Huang Zhirou struggled to break free from He Yuzhu's grasp, stood up, and said:

"I...I'm going to the restroom."

After saying that, she hurriedly grabbed her bag and fled the room like a startled fawn.

Quite some time has passed, and Huang Zhirou still hasn't returned.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel puzzled, so he stepped out of the room.

When he arrived on the deck, he immediately saw Huang Zhiru standing quietly by the ship's side, gazing wistfully at the vast and magnificent sea.

Without hesitation, he walked straight up to Huang Zhiru, stood right next to her, and said:

"I was so busy before that I forgot to tell you. Why don't you take some time to go and buy a yacht?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhiru turned around abruptly, her face full of surprise, and asked in return:

Are you looking to buy a yacht?

"Yes, when we both have some free time, we can take you out for a nice stroll in the breeze."

Huang Zhirou gave him a playful glare, but secretly she was thinking to herself:

Hmph! Who would want to sail out to sea with this boss? That would be so awkward.

After enjoying the cool sea breeze for a while, He Yuzhu suddenly spoke up:

"Since there's nothing else to do right now, why don't I cook you a delicious meal myself today? You can come and help me out."

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhirou's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly nodded in agreement:

"Yeah!"

In fact, Huang Zhirou had only once tasted the delicious food cooked by He Yuzhu by chance, but such opportunities were extremely rare.

So when she heard that He Yuzhu was going to cook again, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

The two then went to the ship's kitchen together in high spirits.

The chef who was originally in charge of cooking was very sensible. Upon seeing this, he took the initiative to leave and gave the entire kitchen to the two of them.

He Yuzhu first carefully examined the various ingredients prepared on the ship, and then quickly got to work.

Before long, he successfully cooked four dishes with excellent color, aroma and taste, as well as a delicious and rich soup.

After finishing cooking, the two carefully carried the food back to the room they had been in before.

Immediately afterwards, He Yuzhu took out a bottle of red wine that he had been treasuring for a long time from the cabinet and skillfully opened the bottle cap.

At this moment, Huang Zhirou looked at the bottle of red wine in front of her, which was emitting an enticing aroma, and hesitated for a moment before saying softly:

"Oh dear, I'm not a big drinker, maybe I shouldn't drink."

Seeing this, He Yuzhu smiled and comforted her, saying:

"Haha, today is a special day. I specially cooked a meal. How can we not celebrate with a few drinks? Don't worry, I'm an upright gentleman and I would never do anything inappropriate to you."

Huang Zhirou hesitated for a moment, but finally slowly reached out and gently picked up the exquisite wine glass, her lips parting slightly as she said:

"I...I'll just have this one."

Her voice was as soft as a breeze brushing against the strings of a zither.

"That's more like it! Cheers!"

He Yuzhu responded with a smile, a hint of barely perceptible anticipation flickering in his eyes.

So the two raised their glasses and toasted each other, the red wine in their glasses sparkling like rubies under the light.

Before we knew it, the first glass of red wine was empty.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu quickly picked up the wine bottle and poured He Zhirou another full glass.

After two drinks, Huang Zhirou, who had been trying to stay awake, suddenly felt dizzy and her body involuntarily leaned forward, eventually collapsing onto the dining table covered with a clean white tablecloth.

Upon seeing this, He Yuzhu's eyes widened in astonishment, and he muttered to himself:

"This...this person's alcohol tolerance is really terrible!"

He shook his head, stood up helplessly, and walked to Huang Zhirou's side.

She had her eyes closed, her cheeks flushed like the sunset, and her breathing was even and shallow.

He Yuzhu carefully bent down and gently embraced her soft, boneless body.

Her body was as light as a feather, and she exuded a faint fragrance.

He Yuzhu carried Huang Zhirou and walked step by step toward the bedroom, taking each step with extra care, afraid of disturbing the sleeping beauty in his arms.

After entering the bedroom, He Yuzhu gently placed Huang Zhirou on the bed, then carefully removed her slightly heavy coat and covered her with a thin quilt.

At this moment, Huang Zhirou, lying on the bed, was like a blooming flower, delicate and beautiful, captivating all who beheld her.

He Yuzhu gazed silently at the beautiful woman before him, a surge of emotion welling up within him. After much hesitation, he finally decided to take a shower to calm himself down.

After taking a shower, he tiptoed back to the bedside, slowly lifted a corner of the blanket, and lay down on his side.

As soon as he lay down, He Yuzhu's hand unconsciously reached towards Huang Zhirou's waist, but just as he was about to touch her skin, he suddenly pulled his hand back as if he had been electrocuted.

He sighed heavily, closed his eyes, and tried to calm the surging desire in his heart. In the end, he simply held Huang Zhirou's body gently, feeling her warmth and breath, and gradually drifted off to sleep.

After some time, the sky outside the window began to lighten slightly.

While asleep, Huang Zhirou suddenly felt a powerful force tightly binding her, making it difficult for her to breathe.

She groggily opened her eyes, and when she saw the scene before her, she was immediately horrified.

As she regained consciousness, she was shocked to realize that she was being held tightly in a man's arms.

Because she was curled up in the other person's arms, she couldn't see who the man was, but the cold and sharp touch on her back made her realize instantly that someone was holding a dagger to her!

Although she had never experienced love, she was fully aware of the danger that the dagger represented.

In an instant, fear surged into her heart like a tidal wave. She broke out in a cold sweat, quickly sat up, and forcefully pulled away from the man.

Once her vision stabilized, she realized that the person lying next to her, still fast asleep, was none other than He Yuzhu!

Recalling how she had fallen asleep in He Yuzhu's arms all night, an indescribable feeling of shyness instantly overwhelmed her. She felt her cheeks burning and silently cried out in her heart:

"This is so embarrassing!"

Immediately afterward, a terrible thought flashed through my mind: Could it be that my boss took advantage of me while I was drunk and stole my virginity?

Thinking of this, her heart pounded faster and faster, and she hurriedly began to check her physical condition.

Fortunately, apart from her coat being removed, her underwear was still intact.

Confirming that she hadn't lost what she cherished most, her anxious heart finally settled down, and she secretly rejoiced that the worst hadn't happened.

However, at this moment, she dared not disturb He Yuzhu, who was still fast asleep. She carefully moved her body, like a frightened kitten, and quietly crawled from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed, and then slowly climbed off the bed. The whole movement was extremely slow, for fear of making the slightest sound.

Huang Zhiru hurriedly picked up the clothes scattered on the side and frantically put them on, with only one thought in her mind—to escape this place as soon as possible.

If we're fast enough, we might be able to pretend that all that absurdity from last night never happened.

However, just before she was about to step out of the room, as if she suddenly remembered something, Huang Zhiru turned her head sharply, and her gaze met that of He Yuzhu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Upon seeing this, Huang Zhiru was startled. He Yuzhu was staring at her with wide eyes, his gaze seemingly trying to see right through her.

Huang Zhiru was immediately stunned and stammered, "..."

"When...when did you wake up?"

He Yuzhu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile, and he answered unhurriedly:
