My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 194: Chapter 0194: The Heart of a Young Girl (Part One)_1
 

After walking a few kilometers, they finally found a hotel that wasn’t fully booked.

Indeed, worthy of being the provincial capital, the hotel business was too good!

“May I ask what type of room you’d like to book?” asked the receptionist.

“Two single rooms…”

Before Ye Xiong could finish, Tang Ning interrupted him, “We’ll take a double room.”

A double room?

Ye Xiong turned to look at her; Tang Ning seemed to be unaffected and said to him, “Brother Xiong, let’s save some money. I get a little scared sleeping alone.”

“Identification card.”

The receptionist gave Ye Xiong a look that clearly said: Bringing a young girl to book a double room, just pretend all you want, affect a decorous facade.

It was the second time Tang Ning didn’t call herself his cousin but used his name; the last time was when he dropped her off at the airport to go home. Back then, she had clung to him reluctantly and called his name into his ear.

And then, there was now.

A simple form of address made him feel a bit complicated inside, but he didn’t ponder over it.

After all, their relationship was that of a cousin-in-law and a younger aunt by marriage, even though it was all just pretend. But given his current relationship with Yang Xinyi, it was only a matter of time before they reached this step.

For outsiders to know of their relationship and for them to book the same room, it was indeed quite awkward.

Back in the room, Ye Xiong placed Tang Ning on the bed and said, “Rest well, and don’t be afraid. With your brother-in-law here, you can sleep in peace.”

Tang Ning nodded her head.

Ye Xiong went to the bathroom to take a shower. On this sweltering day, after being busy all day, he was covered in sweat.

When he came out, he was fully dressed; it would be inappropriate to be bare-chested in front of Tang Ning in the room.

“I need to take a shower too,” Tang Ning said.

“Can you walk?”

Tang Ning shook her head.

Ye Xiong had no choice but to help her to the bathroom and closed the door behind them.

In less than a moment, Tang Ning limped out.

Seeing her in only her underwear, Ye Xiong was stunned.

“The clothes are dirty after being worn. I don’t want to sleep in them,” Tang Ning said, her face flushed, her eyes looking at him pleadingly.

“Brother-in-law, help me up,” Tang Ning said faintly.

Ye Xiong took a deep breath, walked over to carry her to the adjacent bed, ready to set her down.

Suddenly, Tang Ning grabbed his neck and wouldn’t let go.

“Let go, if you continue like this, I’m going to get angry,” Ye Xiong said sternly.

Whimper!

This scolding acted like a fuse, releasing all of Tang Ning’s pent-up grievances.

“I was just kidding, don’t take it to heart,” Ye Xiong thought he had made her cry and quickly explained.

“Brother-in-law, you must be angry with me, blaming me for being a troublemaker,” Tang Ning cried out.

“Brother-in-law isn’t angry, really isn’t angry.”

“Then why won’t you look at me, why are your eyes dodging mine, your voice so cold?” Tang Ning continued to ask.

Sharing a room, was it okay to look too much, was it okay not to keep a cold demeanor?

“Isn’t it just worry?”

“Worry about what?”

“Let’s stop talking, go to sleep!” Ye Xiong kept pushing her away.

“Ah Xiong, let me hold you one more time,” Tang Ning’s form of address changed again. “Do you know what occupied my mind the most when those men were about to violate me, during the kidnapping?”

Ye Xiong shook his head.

“I thought that if I really were violated, I wouldn’t have the face to live on. At that moment, what I thought about the most was you. I knew you would definitely come to save me. It was this belief that kept me going, kept me from collapsing. Over and over in my heart, I told myself that even if it meant death, I couldn’t give my first time to these beasts. I had to save myself for the man I truly love. This thought became so intense, I almost couldn’t control myself…” Tang Ning said distantly.

Who says a flirtatious-looking girl mustn’t be a virgin? My sister-in-law is one.

The peacock fans its feathers to court; the rose blooms to be admired by as many men as possible. Ye Xiong preferred to believe Tang Ning was like the latter. She was just a high school student, what did she know about being flirtatious?

“Brother Xiong, I want to give you my first time.”

Tang Ning’s face, wet with tears, suddenly moved closer to Ye Xiong’s, and her lips met his.

“Tang Ning, that’s enough, we can’t mess around anymore,” Ye Xiong said, holding back the desire within him as he walked to one side.

“Ever since I was kidnapped, I made a vow in my heart, that if you came to save me, I would definitely give you my first time. I’m not messing around, I’m serious,” Tang Ning said as she looked at him with teary eyes, her face flushed and her breath short. “Don’t worry, even if I give you my first time, come daybreak, it’ll be as though nothing happened. I’ll keep this in my heart as a little secret between us…”

Is that possible?

When it comes to matters between men and women, Ye Xiong, no longer a high school graduate, understood them far more clearly.

If they really became intimate, it would become very difficult to face each other in the future.

“Xiao Ning, your brother-in-law understands that you are still in fear after being captured by the kidnappers, which is leading to a series of misguided thoughts. If you calm down to think about it, you’ll understand. It’s not that your brother-in-law doesn’t want you; your brother-in-law wants you a hundred times more. But there are things in this world that are more important than desire. Things like morals, ethics, and values. What’s the difference between humans and beasts? The difference lies in the fact that humans can control themselves well. Take some time to think quietly,” Ye said and left the room.

Leaving the hotel, it was past one in the morning.

On the streets, a few pedestrians were either hurrying or staggering along.

Generally, those who are not asleep at this time belong to one of two types: those lost in a drunken dream, or those living a life worse than death.

Ah, why am I becoming more and more principled?

Ye Xiong bought a bottle of Ice water from the convenience store at the hotel entrance and sat down quietly for a moment.

His phone buzzed with a new message.

“Brother-in-law, I’m sorry, I was wrong.” the message read.

“You did nothing wrong. It’s just a concern of growing up. When your brother-in-law was in high school, he even had a crush on the fifty-year-old lady next door!” Ye Xiong texted back.

“Thank you.”

“I should thank you too, for not turning me into a beast.”

Returning to the room.

On the adjacent bed, Tang Ning was facing away, asleep; Ye didn’t know if she was truly asleep or not.

Ye Xiong, exhausted, didn’t bother with anything else and fell asleep heavily on the bed.

Early the next morning, when Ye Xiong woke up, he found Tang Ning hugging a pillow and sleeping soundly.

The girl, I don’t know when she managed to fall asleep last night.

After having breakfast outside, Ye Xiong brought some back with him.

Back in the room, Tang Ning was already awake, dressed and playing with her phone on the bed.

Seeing Ye Xiong return, Tang Ning threw down her phone and ran over, snatching the breakfast from him.

“Did you brush your teeth?” Ye Xiong asked.

“I did.”

Tang Ning opened the breakfast, and seeing her favorite egg and meat porridge along with some cream bread inside, her face lit up with happiness.
