My Husband Is Not Easy To Mess With. - Chapter 23: Differences Between Ge'er and Men
Chapter 23: Differences Between Ge’er and Men
The proud ge’er stood with hands on hips. His smug little expression was completely different from the dignified and decisive Emperor he usually was.
“Minister Nie, help Me to bathe~” Du Suilan held out one hand and lifted his exquisite small chin, signaling Nie Yao to help him to the large bathhouse. He was treating him completely like an eunuch.
Nie Yao was full. He thought a little exercise wouldn’t hurt, so he played along, “Yes, Your Majesty, your servant will take you now.”
He cooperated, but he didn’t want the young master to get too carried away. The tall figure stood in front of the ge’er and suddenly smiled. Due to his natural advantages, his casual smile was the very definition of wicked charm and unruliness.
It made Du Suilan’s heart pound “pupu pupu” without stopping. He was so nervous for a moment that he stopped breathing. His speech became stuttered.
“Nie… Nie Nie… Minister Nie…”
“Your Majesty, please follow your servant.”
Nie Yao did not carefully bend down to support his hand as if truly serving someone, but directly covered it. His warm, calloused large hand gripped the palm that was much smaller than his own.
Du Suilan instantly flushed red. From head to toe, he was rosy and tender, looking quite delicious.
Nie Yao knew where the ge’er‘s large bathhouse was. Gripping his hand, he strode forward. He had long legs. Du Suilan’s legs weren’t short, but they couldn’t compare to Nie Yao’s. Moreover, in his imagination, he and Minister Nie would hold hands, stroll side-by-side, occasionally exchanging smiles or affectionately leaning against each other.
But none of that happened. He was yanked into a stumble at the start and then had to quickly follow Nie Yao’s pace or risk falling. The romantic bubble popped. All that was left was a teeth-gritting, shamefully resentful Du Suilan.
To avoid being looked down upon, Du Suilan also walked quickly. As he walked, he even ended up leaving Nie Yao behind, which made Nie Yao exclaim: Little Lanlan is really fond of cleanliness. He couldn’t wait to take a bath right after eating hot pot.
The ge’er‘s bathhouse was huge. Every piece of jade was carved with exquisite patterns for anti-slip purposes, and the water in the pool was flowing spring water. Nie Yao didn’t even dare to imagine the cost of such an oversized bathtub.
“Minister Nie, undress Me!” Du Suilan spread his arms, ordering him to act in a very natural tone.
Nie Yao didn’t even think there was anything wrong at first. He walked close to the young master and prepared to untie his sash. Thankfully, his mind hadn’t completely failed him, and the moment his hand landed, he realized this was inappropriate. Du Suilan wasn’t his brother!
“I’ll call Little Douzi!”
“Why are you running?” Du Suilan stamped his foot in anger. “I don’t want anyone else entering My bed-chamber!”
‘Anyone else’? Isn’t Little Douzi your personal head eunuch! You won’t even let the head eunuch in? Isn’t your territorial awareness too strong? Nie Yao hesitated: “Then… you clean such a large house yourself during normal times?”
How could that be! Du Suilan: “No one is allowed in except for cleaning!”
Nie Yao suspected that this young master wasn’t a native of this world, but a CEO from some other world who had transmigrated. All these strange habits were exactly the same.
“Then should I leave too?”
“If you leave, who will serve Me!”
“Didn’t you wash yourself before?”
Before was before, now is now! Du Suilan was almost driven mad by his dispassionate and pure gaze. He suspected Nie Yao was blind. Otherwise, how could he be unmoved when facing a beautiful ge’er like himself!
“Nie, Dear, Minister!” Du Suilan gritted his teeth, ordering Nie Yao to turn around, “I command you, as the Emperor, to serve Me in My bath!”
“No refusal is allowed!”
“Otherwise, I will bite off your ear tonight!”
This young master really did bite people. Nie Yao’s hand had been bitten when he was a child. Such a small cub could draw bl00d, and now that he was all grown up, he might not be joking about biting off his ear.
Nie Yao didn’t want to lose an ear. But no meant no. Nie Yao explained, hoping he would understand, “I am a man, and you are a ge’er. Our genders are different; it’s not appropriate to be too intimate.”
Where is it inappropriate! Du Suilan believed they were going to get married. A ge’er‘s body shouldn’t be seen by others, but for a husband, it was completely fine!
Originally, Du Suilan bossed Nie Yao around simply to enjoy the feeling of being taken care of and cherished by him. He hadn’t intended to seduce him with his looks. But Nie Yao’s current attitude provoked him, igniting the fighting spirit in his heart. No. He absolutely had to let him see! He had to make him drool over his beautiful self!!
The extraordinarily beautiful young ge’er lowered his head, asking sadly, “Then… Minister Nie, can you get Me some clothes?”
Just getting clothes and placing them by the screen. That should be fine, right? After a brief hesitation, Nie Yao nodded at the ge’er‘s pitiful request.
The ge’er had built a very large cloakroom on the right side of the palace, filled with exquisite and luxurious clothes. Nie Yao found a set of comfortable silk pajamas suitable for sleeping and took them to the young master.
Mist was swirling. Nie Yao, with his excellent hearing, also heard the “whooshing” sound of moving water.
“Will this silk set do?” Nie Yao was about to put the pajamas by the screen the young master had mentioned. Suddenly, he keenly sensed someone walking toward him barefoot from behind.
Nie Yao’s first reaction was a killer. But what killer kills barefoot? Nie Yao ruled out the possibility of assassination, but he still backed away cautiously.
Du Suilan missed grabbing him, but he wasn’t discouraged. His eyes narrowed, and he pulled open the bath towel wrapped around his body with one hand.
“Minister Nie… My hand was pinched red by you.” His tone was normal, both spoiled and willful as usual. “Tell Me, how are you going to compensate?”
“When did I pinch…” Nie Yao remembered that he had indeed held his hand just now. The young master’s skin was delicate, a fact he had already learned. He felt a faint regret. Completely unprepared.
He turned around helplessly to apologize: “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. How do you want me to…” compensate.
Before the word “compensate” could be spoken, he saw it. Nie Yao froze in place, his mind a blank in an instant.
“Minister Nie?” The ge’er blinked, asking him in confusion, “Why aren’t you speaking?”
“Minister Nie?”
“Minister Nie??” Du Suilan walked over, pinching Nie Yao’s face to call him, “Nie Yao, speak! Are you stupid?”
Nie Yao sincerely wished he were stupid. Unfortunately, he wasn’t, so he could clearly remember the scene just now. He he he he… Why wasn’t he wearing clothes! He was a ge’er! He was a ge’er, not a bro!!
Nie Yao, whose mind had finally turned back on, quickly closed his eyes and turned around, his tone somewhat urgent: “Du Suilan! Why aren’t you wearing clothes?”
“I’m going to take a bath.” The ge’er didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with it, and asked him innocently, “What clothes do you wear when you bathe?”
Nie Yao was going crazy. The difference between ge’er and men—didn’t Dou Jinyuan teach Lanlan this necessary truth? How could he be a father!
Nie Yao: “Quick, quick, quick! Put your clothes on!”
