Chapter 142 Are you jealous?
"What should I do?"
Chu Huanjun put his head close to Tao Yao's face with a wicked smile, trying to gauge her expression.
"Big Tiger wants to try a different flavor today and see if the pork ribs are good."
Chu Huanjun said this, reaching out to catch Tao Yao again. Tao Yao frantically fled around the courtyard like a chick avoiding a hawk, but was ultimately overwhelmed by Chu Huanjun's fierce attack. He finally captured her in his arms and forced her back into a corner.
Chu Huanjun grabbed Tao Yao's arms, lifted them high up, and pressed them against the wall, making her unable to move at all.
Tao Yao was stunned. In the past, Chu Huanjun and she had only had minor quarrels, but today, the heartache and anger in Chu Huanjun's expression did not seem fake.
Chu Huanjun is such an arrogant and proud person in his daily life. He doesn't care about anything except what he wants.
But now, Chu Huanjun has done so many things for Tao Yao, but she seems to not care at all, ignores his feelings, and leaves him alone in the empty room - it doesn't matter, he will chase her without hesitation anyway, and she will always change her mind.
"Can you tell me what your feelings are towards Lu Che?"
Even Chu Huanjun didn't notice that his voice was a little hoarse.
Tao Yao had long anticipated Chu Huanjun asking her this, so she had actually prepared a script in her mind long ago, reciting the standard answer she had rehearsed a hundred times in advance: "As my brother, I respect and rely on him; as my friend, I cherish him and have a love for him that I know and protect."
Chu Huanjun curled his lips into a slightly bitter smile and said calmly, "You still have such rich emotions towards him."
There was a strong hint of sourness in his words, and even Tao Yao, a fool with a negative IQ, could feel it.
Tao Yao followed his words, nodded, and responded, "Yes, the longer two people know each other, the deeper they understand each other, and the richer their feelings become."
Tao Yao paused, tilted his head, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Xiao Chu, you've always been aloof from strangers. It seems you don't have any particularly close friends, right? So, you probably don't have any particularly complex emotions towards anyone, right?"
Chu Huanjun scoffed at Tao Yao's arrogant behavior and scolded her in a bad mood, "Who said that? I don't think you understand me at all."
"Oh?" Tao Yao was immediately interested. Her dark eyes swirled around in her sockets, and a bad idea popped up in her mind. She continued, "I really don't know you very well. But that doesn't stop me from guessing. With whom does the honorable Prince Yi have such a complex relationship... Um, is it Miss Zhining? Miss Yunqing? Or Miss Anjingshuang? Oh, none of them are right. It's..."
It has to be said that if Tao Yao really gets mean, even Chu Huanjun, who usually seems to have the mildest temper, can be so angry that his teeth itch.
Chu Huanjun increased the strength of his grip on Tao Yao's hand. He lowered his body and pressed his forehead against Tao Yao's forehead. Their eyes met. He seemed to want to see through Tao Yao's eyes, to see what was going on in her little head.
"Don't forget, you're still in my grasp." Chu Huanjun nuzzled Tao Yao's nose and threatened her, "If you don't obey me and anger the big tiger, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Who is that?"
"No one." A flash of disappointment flashed across Chu Huanjun's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He was best at hiding his emotions.
"Who is in my heart? Doesn't Xiaotao understand?" Chu Huanjun's voice was very low, so low that it almost fell into the soil - just like those jade-like flowers that dissipated in the wind, unable to withstand the ravages of wind and rain, and disappeared without a sound.
Tao Yao struggled unconvinced, thinking that Chu Huanjun would hold her tightly, but she didn't expect that Chu Huanjun would let go of her arms as soon as she struggled.
Chu Huanjun was indeed acting abnormally today. He didn't force himself on her like he usually did.
For some reason, Tao Yao felt a little lost. When she was about to turn around to look at Chu Huanjun, she suddenly felt her hand warm. It turned out that Chu Huanjun had caught up with her and was holding her hand gently.
Tao Yao smiled with satisfaction, without even realizing it.
That’s right, this is the Xiao Chu she knows.
The next moment, Tao Yao felt something cold in her palm. Chu Huanjun stuffed the thing into her palm and quickly let go.
Tao Yao lowered her head curiously, opened her palm and saw that it was the pair of peach blossom earrings and peach blossom hairpin that Lu Che had given her.
Chu Huanjun explained, "When I brought you back, you were covered in blood. I had to help you clean up. These things were taken off when I washed your hair. I'm returning them to you."
Tao Yao touched her washed and dry hair belatedly, then looked down at her neat and tidy moon-white clothes, and her face turned red all of a sudden.
"You helped me clean it..."
Chu Huanjun glanced at her in confusion and said unhappily, "What else, Miss? Besides Cheng Tianshui, an old man, and Song Zhishou and I, two grown men, who else can serve you in this clinic?" Chu Huanjun paused, coughed and cleared his throat, then continued, "Besides this prince, who else can help you bathe and change clothes?"
Tao Yao was speechless for a moment, lowering her head and clenching the peach blossom earrings and hairpin in her hands. Although the wind was still quite strong, Tao Yao suddenly felt her palms sweating.
Seeing Tao Yao's expression, Chu Huanjun felt a surge of sympathy and hurriedly explained, "You don't have any injuries on your body. I... I didn't look closely. I just wiped you with a wet towel."
He walked up to Tao Yao, raised two fingers, and swore to the heavens, "I, Chu Huanjun, swear to heaven that I have not done anything against the rules for you, otherwise I will be struck by lightning."
Tao Yao was amused by Chu Huanjun's serious oath. She shoved him and said angrily, "What are you pretending for? You've always been a playboy, so why are you rushing to clarify now?"
Chu Huanjun was dissatisfied: "Who said I was romantic?"
Tao Yao pointed to her eyes. She smiled so hard that her eyes curved like a pair of crescent moons. "I saw it with my own eyes."
Chu Huanjun smiled knowingly and thought about it. It seemed that Tao Yao had indeed witnessed countless scenes of him entangled with other women, so she said that he was a playboy - but he was really wronged.
Chu Huanjun raised the corner of his mouth, casually picked up a strand of hair from Taoyao's temples, and asked with a soft smile, "Are you jealous?"
