After rejecting my celebrity husband novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173: Chapter 174: Washing Hands [6]

"Thanks..." She instinctively began to thank him with a smile, but, catching herself halfway, thinking of what he had just said, she swallowed the remaining word and hurriedly added, "Let’s eat, or it’ll get cold!"

After the meal, she immediately stood up to clear the table.

Seeing her move to the sink to wash up, Leng Zimo promptly stopped her, "Just have the cleaning service come over tomorrow!"

"It’s just two bowls, there’s no need to have someone else come over!" She swiftly turned on the tap, poured some detergent, and quickly washed the dishes clean before placing them in the rack.

Leng Zimo was quite pleased by her use of the term "someone else." Sitting at the edge of the table, he watched her bustle about in the kitchen and eventually come to the sink to wash her hands. He stood up, walked over, pressed the soap dispenser for her, and then extended his right hand to help her wash.

Feeling his chest pressed against her back, Luo Xiaoqian’s face grew hot.

"No... there’s no need, I can do it myself!"

Leng Zimo paid no mind and continued rubbing her hands with his.

The soap began to lather, covering both their hands with foam. His fingers cleaned between hers, the touch of skin created a friction that turned a simple act of handwashing into something charged with intimacy.

Her heart began to race, almost imperceptibly at first.

Conscious of her strange reaction, Luo Xiaoqian pulled her fingers from between his, turned on the tap again, and let the water wash away the foam from their palms, spiraling down the drain.

She turned to leave, only to find that his other arm had somehow encircled her waist without her noticing.

Burying his face in her hair, Leng Zimo inhaled the faint scent of her hair and planted a kiss by her ear.

"Xiao Qian!"

His voice was slightly hoarse.

"Hmm!"

She responded with a soft hmm, then noticed her own throat felt a bit dry.
