Let's Get Married

Rex also freezes for a while, but soon returns to normal, and slowly unbuckles his belt, “What’s wrong, why so panic?”

Lily blushes and looks away from him, clearing her throat, “Well, when did you find a housemaid?”

“Not long ago.” The man responses faintly while changing cloth.

Lily’s ears are hot; she dares not to move her vision, staring deadly at the carpet underneath, “I remember you don’t like someone inside the house. Why do you even find one?”

“Yes, but you keep on busying around if there is no one.” She cooked for him several times before and sent it to the hospital. Even though she doesn’t complain, he is aware of the small wound on her finger, which makes him distressed. Thus, he finds someone to hire a housemaid before leaving the hospital.

Lily of course is willing that someone may help her, but thinking of his childhood experience, knowing that he would have had a resistance to servants and strangers, she doesn’t want to force him, “Actually, I’m okay, I’m a little busy only when you’re in the hospital. For the rest, I can handle it.”

“But I feel sorry.” As he says, he has stood in front of her. His half-untie belt hangs loosely around his waist, which barely shows the edge of his underwear.

Lily takes a step back, and he takes a step forward. Going and back forth, she is cornered.

Her body is attached to the hard wall, and Lily swallows involuntarily. Both of her hands are placed in the narrow space between their body, “If you have something to say, say it clearly, don’t act indecently.”

Rex stretches out his hand to the side of her head, “What did you mean by me acting indecently?”

Lily is too lazy to confront him, “You know what you are thinking, and why ask for it!”

“Oh…” He lengthens the last syllable, and seems to suddenly think of something, “It indeed has a lot of ‘good memories’ here.”

He deliberately stresses those words very hard, which more or less hints her.

Some unspeakable pictures flash in Lily’s mind, which makes her blush quickly and stares at him angrily, “Say it correctly!”
