After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband
Chapter 62

"Darling." An Nuan's soft, tender voice was gentle and soothing, seeping into his heart.

Ye Jinghuai's Adam's apple bobbed noticeably.

Because An Nuan was looking up at him, she could see the movement of Ye Jinghuai's throat very clearly.

In that moment, she didn't know if he was trying to restrain himself from something.

She always felt that even his body had tensed up a lot.

There was also a sense that although An Nuan had her hands over Ye Jinghuai's eyes and he still had his eyes closed, she somehow felt a blazing flame burning.

It was about to melt her palms away.

The next second.

"Mmm." Ye Jinghuai parted his lips slightly, his voice a little hoarse but magnetic.

He seemed to be responding to her term of endearment.

Responding to her just calling him "husband".

An Nuan blushed.

Very red.

She wasn't actually used to this kind of...intimate form of address.

It made her uneasy and feel very shy.

At this moment, she was obviously feeling bashful.

She couldn't even recall that in the ten years she was married to Gu Yan Sheng.

Ten years, they had only ever called each other by name or nickname, but never once "husband" or "wife".

Now, she had called Ye Jinghuai that.

On the very first night of their "marriage", she had changed how she addressed him.

An Nuan felt strangely irritated for some reason, though she didn't know why she was in such a bad mood. She spoke impatiently to Ye Jinghuai, "Can you agree now?"

"Mmm." Another simple murmur.

But An Nuan decided to believe him.

Actually, not believing wouldn't change anything anyway.

Clearly she had taken the initiative to propose cooperating with him, but through the whole process, it seemed like she was being led around by the nose.

An Nuan slowly, and even a little nervously, removed her hands.

Then she saw Ye Jinghuai's eyes lightly closed, his long lashes even more striking under the light.

This guy's eyelashes weren't real, she felt like she was being fooled.

She carefully watched Ye Jinghuai, watching as he kept his eyes shut.

An Nuan moved away from in front of Ye Jinghuai.

Without any clothes on, just wearing those red high heels, she swiftly fled.

Afraid that if that certain someone suddenly opened his eyes, she would be completely exposed.

In fact, the person she was wary of didn't open his eyes for a very, very long time.

He just stood there in the room, dazing out for a long while.

Only when the temperature in the room that had been continuously rising cooled down completely, did he slowly open his eyes.

Looking at the empty room in front of him.

Looking at the wedding dress strewn on the floor.

The wedding dress...that An Nuan had worn through.

He just looked at it like that, the corners of his lips suddenly curving into a smile.

He walked past the wedding dress and went straight to the bathroom.

The cold shower he had just taken...seemed to be wasted again.

...

After her shower, An Nuan removed her makeup and put on a facial mask.

Compared to the last time she was in this room, though there was an extra toothbrush and towel, it was clearly much more complete now.

Everything a woman could possibly need was prepared.

Including skincare, makeup, toothbrush, towel, bath towel, bathrobe, even undergarments placed neatly in the bathroom cabinet. Most astonishing to An Nuan was that in Ye Jinghuai's huge walk-in closet, all the men's clothes had been completely replaced with women's clothing. Even the price tags were still on them, and each piece was An Nuan's size.

An Nuan was still touched in the end.

Lying in bed now, her mind was still filled with the scene she had seen in the closet.

She had considered moving her things over to Ye Jinghuai's place in advance, but he hadn't given her a definite response even up to when they got married. Naturally, she wouldn't rashly move her stuff over.

She had thought she would just make do for tonight and get the servants to bring her things over tomorrow. Yet unexpectedly, everything she needed was already prepared for her to enjoy tonight.

After removing the facial mask and rinsing her face with water, she applied the high-end skincare products.

It had to be said.

Her skin type was neutral to dry. The skincare Ye Jinghuai prepared was precisely the most suitable for her skin. After applying it, her skin absorbed the essences of the products, leaving it looking smooth and translucent. It felt incredibly soft and slippery to the touch, extremely comfortable.

An Nuan lay back down in bed, switching off the lights in the room this time.

She closed her eyes.

Thinking about everything that had happened today.

It was probably unexpected for anyone, not just Gu Yan Sheng.

Even she herself doubted whether everything she was experiencing now was real.

Or had she actually died, and her soul remained, using the consciousness of her soul to conjure up a segment of life for herself.

She gave a cold laugh.

Of course that wasn't so.

She was very clear that she could feel everything was real.

An Nuan turned over, not wanting to think too much.

After all, she really was tired and exhausted to the bone.

She really needed...to rest.

...

The next day.

Don't know what time.

Anyway An Nuan was woken up by the sound of knocking.

She had been sleeping soundly, even dreaming.

Of course, she couldn't recall how many dreams she'd had now. Just that they weren't too bad.

Carrying some of her waking irritation, she got out of bed to open the door.

At the door, Ye Jinghuai's tall, lean body was half leaning against the door as he casually said, "We're going back to the Ye family today."

"..." An Nuan looked at him.

"Unless you let them know this marriage is just for show." Ye Jinghuai had an expression of utter nonchalance.

Of course An Nuan didn't want that.

After all, as soon as those words left her mouth, there was a high chance of it spreading.

If it spread, wouldn't she be slapping her own face?!

Moreover, explaining a marriage of convenience to Ye's elders...felt like an extremely huge undertaking.

She said, "Give me half an hour."

Then abruptly.

Slammed the door shut.

Ye Jinghuai smiled slightly.

He went downstairs first.

After closing the door, An Nuan naturally wasn't going back to sleep.

Originally she didn't need much sleep. She had only slept in today because she was too tired yesterday. Now that she was woken up, she didn't feel like sleeping anymore.

She quickly washed up and went to the closet to pick out clothes.

It really was like a medium-sized apparel shop, just missing inventory.

She looked through the options.

Selecting a pale pink cheongsam, wearing a white coat over it. It gave off a warm, elegant aura, not overly aggressive. Just lightly applying natural makeup was the best look for meeting elders.

An Nuan opened the door and went downstairs.

Downstairs, she could still see Ye Jinghuai's figure from afar. He sat at the outdoor dining table, reading the newspaper while eating breakfast.

He was currently wearing a white shirt with beige fitted casual pants. Even dressing and looking so casual, even a little lazy, he still exuded charm from head to toe, instantly catching people's eyes, making it hard to look away for a long time.

An Nuan barely managed to draw her gaze back.

She walked over to Ye Jinghuai.

Ye Jinghuai put down the newspaper and stood up to politely pull out a chair for her.

An Nuan glanced at Ye Jinghuai. "Thank you."

An unexpected smile crept onto the corners of Ye Jinghuai's lips.

His smile...really could bring disaster on the country and its people.
