The Surrogate Bride of the Colonel He

C80 – The Colonel Was Jealous

“Go where, the bed?” Despite being battered, Hee Jingyan continued to playfully tease Xu Yangyi shamelessly.

Hee Jingyan expected another slap, but instead, Xu Yangyi frowned in irritation, screamed, and shot him a fierce glare. “Could you be any more shameless?”

Communication seemed utterly futile. It was one thing for Hee Jingyan to lack any semblance of shame, but Xu Yangyi’s refusal to retaliate or utter a word was truly exasperating.

“Xu Nuannuan, come back here and assume your role as Young Mistress He!”

“I was just joking. Don’t be so upset, my dear,” Hee Jingyan finally felt a twinge of remorse upon seeing Xu Yangyi’s inner turmoil. He decided to refrain from teasing him further, fearing it might backfire.

He placed Xu Yangyi on the bed and borrowed a hair dryer from Ji Guangming to gently blow-dry Xu Yangyi’s hair.

Xu Yangyi harbored a reservoir of vexation, but the moment Hee Jingyan started blow-drying his hair, his anger evaporated. It was because the warmth emanating from Hee Jingyan’s large hands had warmed his heart.

Witnessing Xu Yangyi’s irritated response to his playful gesture, Hee Jingyan lifted an eyebrow, as though finding this reaction quite amusing.

“Honey, are you feeling comfortable?” This time, he inquired sincerely if Xu Yangyi was at ease with the hair drying.

Normally, as long as Hee Jingyan had no ill intentions, Xu Yangyi would readily respond to him. Just as now, he playfully grumbled and then settled down quietly to allow Hee Jingyan to continue blow-drying, almost instantly transforming into a compliant and endearing figure.

Observing Xu Yangyi’s unusual docility, Hee Jingyan’s smile grew even more charming. He tenderly massaged Xu Yangyi’s scalp and continued to gently dry his hair.

“Who dries your hair when you’re at home?” Sensing the pleasant ambiance, Hee Jingyan introduced a topic for conversation.

Yet, Xu Yangyi, who had been in a cheerful mood, suddenly fell silent. After a pause, he softly uttered, “Mom.” Although his voice was barely audible, a hint of melancholy lingered within it.

He was about to shift the conversation, but then Xu Yangyi unexpectedly added, “Dad and Xu Nuannuan are a bit clumsy; I don’t dare to let them help with my hair. Gong Cheng is quite careful, but he’s usually occupied and rarely spends the night at our place unless Dad isn’t feeling well.”

“Gong Cheng?” Hee Jingyan’s demeanor immediately grew frosty upon hearing that someone other than himself had assisted in blowing Xu Yangyi’s hair. However, as Xu Yangyi had his back turned, he couldn’t see Hee Jingyan’s reaction and continued, “You used to take baths together with Gong Cheng when you were little.” Although it seems it was before the age of five! And Dad was there.

Upon hearing this, Hee Jingyan crushed the bellows with his bare hands. Ji Guangming, who observed from the sidelines, quietly swallowed his saliva and cautiously distanced himself from Hee Jingyan.

Fuck, can’t you be any more dramatic? Didn’t my sister-in-law say it was just during their childhood? How jealous can you get! Ji Guangming cursed silently in his heart.

Nevertheless, compared to Ji Guangming’s apprehension, Nan Xiao, seated at his desk, clenched his documents with anger. His eyes brimmed with loathing as he gathered his papers and departed. The coldness in his gaze intensified.

“Aren’t you going to boast?” Xu Yangyi raised his head and cast a glance at Hee Jingyan.

Meanwhile, Hee Jingyan wore an impeccable smile as he replied, “It appears the bellows might be broken.” Then, with a cold glance directed at Ji Guangming, he added, “Go fetch a new one.”

Ji Guangming was so terrified that he nearly had an accident. He shouted frantically and spun around to leave. In his heart, he kept muttering “evil spirits!”
