Rebirth: The Heiress Plans Her Revenge-Chapter 113: Teasing

Li Qiang watched her intently and she felt shy under his watch, evident with the way she moved on one leg.

"Are you sure you are worried about me?" Li Qiang asked for confirmation.

Of course, he was aware of the worry she had for him, he just decided to tease her a bit. It was fun seeing her show the love she had for him.

He chided himself internally, it wasn’t clear to him why he still had the time to joke around.

"Is that even meant to be a question? I am worried about you and so are the kids, you should have lunch," she immediately gave a response in reply to his question.

"It is fine, I was just pulling your legs," he immediately voiced out for fear of what might happen if he worsened the intensity of her emotions.

She scowled at him before leaving the study, she did not forget to slam the door before leaving, which showed how angry she was.

Li Qiang exhaled tiredly. He knew he had to pacify her. He must have hurt her with his words. Likewise, he also walked out of the office and made his way to the dining room.

Once he arrived in the dining room, he took a seat and the girls’ face brightened on seeing him.

"I am happy you are here dad," Li Chuxi gave him a bright smile, and he nodded at her.

Li Qiang looked towards Xin Yan who was not willing to look towards him and he breathed out. It seemed he had hurt her with his words.

"I am sorry," he apologized and everyone turned to look at him, they were startled by his sudden apology, excluding Xin Yan. She knew why he was apologizing.

Aunt Guo looked at the couple, and she grinned from ear to ear. She finally grasped why he apologized just by looking at the nonchalant expression Xin Yan had on.

"Dad, why are you apologizing?" Clueless, Li Meimei asked, while tilting her head for a response.

"I hurt your mom with my words, I did not mean to, I only wanted to put a smile on her face, but it seemed my joke caused her to feel distressed; therefore, I want to make amends," Li Qiang explained in detail, at the same time, apologized.

Xin Yan raised her head as she fixed her gaze on him, she did not say anything as she just continued to look at him.

"Never doubt the love I have for you, it is not right," she finally spoke up.

Li Qiang suddenly dazzled everyone by holding his ears, while he gazed at her with puppy eyes, his lips pouted, "I promised not to do it again, I will not doubt the love you have for me," he was remorseful.

Xin Yan shook her head at his silly antics. She had already forgiven him.

After lunch, Xin Yan put the girls to sleep. It was best they slept early.

She walked back to her room, and she met Li Qiang dressed in sweatpants only, his upper body bare. She immediately turned her back against him with her hands over her eyes.

He was surprised by her actions, and an idea suddenly flashed through his mind as he walked closer to her.

"Why did you turn your back against me?" Xin Yan shivered due to how close his voice sounded.

She spun once more, but she did not expect that he was right in front of her.

She reared backwards in order to create distance between the both of them.

Li Qiang noticed the little move she did, but he did not comment on it.

"I asked a question," he folded his arms, while he looked down at her since he was taller than she was.

"You are not putting on a shirt," she replied with a bashful voice, and he moved his head up and down to show that he caught on what she was trying to say.

"But I believe this is not the first time you are seeing me without a shirt," he shrugged his shoulders as he pointed it out to her.

"That." she was not aware of how she was to reply to what he mentioned.

"I am waiting for your response," he enjoyed teasing her, as he found it fun.

"What do you want me to say? I did not expect to meet you naked immediately I stepped into the room, I only acted on impulse," Xin Yan stubbornly retorted.

"You should not have reacted that way, from what I know, you have seen me naked numerous times, so I do not comprehend why your reaction was that extreme, if you were to ask me, I would think that you are not willing to see my body since it is not up to par," Li Qiang blabbered.

Xin Yan looked at him with parted lips. She wanted to say something, but she was too speechless, and she was unable to utter a word.

"It seems my wife does not like my body anymore, I guess it is my fault, I have been slacking off in my exercises," Li Qiang lamented as he paced around the room.

Xin Yan could only stand in shock as she watched him throw a ’tantrum’.

She did not know how to stop him from doing this. It was beyond her expectation he would behave this way.

While he was displaying, she took her time to observe his body, and she smiled, she was thrilled that this man who everyone desired was hers and nothing could change it.

She felt proud. Li Qiang was like a rose which could only be admired from afar, but this rose was with her, and it was hers alone.

She looked at his well-defined abs and she swallowed slightly. She suddenly had an absurd thought, she wanted to run her hands over his abs, and perhaps, even lick it.

It was a crazy thought and she chided herself internally, but one more look at it caused her to drool

She dared not trail her eyes downwards as she might not be able to withstand the massive stimulation which she would face, after all, he was putting on just a sweatpants!

While she was lost in her absurd thoughts, Li Qiang had stopped in front of her. He had a proud smirk on his face, seeing how lost in thought she looked. This was what he was aiming for and he has achieved it.

For a moment, he had momentarily forgotten about his grandfather, which was a good thing as it was not nice to be stuck up on the matter.

"You would have to tell me what is on your mind as I am genuinely interested to know what is on your mind," Li Qiang’s voice brought her out of her reverie and she snapped her head towards him, feeling bewildered.
