AWB Chapter 552 Inescapable Palm
Chapter 552 Inescapable Palm
The brocade robe on Chen Xuan perfectly accentuated his tall and straight figure, and the hem of the robe swayed gently in the wind, making him look like a fairy descending from the moon.
At the same time, his face appeared even more angular against the white background, and his bright and spirited eyes revealed a touch of unruliness and freedom.
Xia Chuwei only glanced at it for a few moments before her heart suddenly started racing, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.
A captivating blush instantly spread across her fair, snow-white cheeks, making her look exquisitely beautiful. She instinctively turned her head slightly away, trying to conceal her momentary lapse in composure.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think of this dress? Does it look good?" Chen Xuan approached slowly with a smile and light steps.
As he approached, a fresh and elegant aura, like wisps of smoke, enveloped Xia Chuwei, surrounding her completely.
She lowered her eyes, not daring to meet Chen Xuan's gaze, and simply nodded slightly in response, "Well... it's not bad."
However, despite her efforts to make her voice sound calm, the slight tremor in her tone betrayed the turmoil within her.
Following that, Chen Xuan tried on several other outfits one after another, just like a model on a runway. Each one seemed to be tailor-made for him, and he wore them with a unique charm and style.
Some depictions make him appear dashing and unrestrained; others make him appear gentle and refined, with an elegant demeanor.
Xia Chuwei's gaze involuntarily followed his figure, her eyes burning with increasing intensity. She felt as if a boulder had been thrown into the still waters of her heart, creating ripples that spread ever wider. A strange and wondrous emotion, like spring grass, quietly spread and grew within her.
She couldn't help but secretly blame herself for having such inappropriate thoughts about her brother!
However, her gaze was as if under a spell, and she could not tear herself away from Chen Xuan's handsome face and tall figure no matter what she did.
"Sister-in-law, which one do you think is the most suitable?" Chen Xuan's expectant and inquiring voice came, pulling her mind, which had been immersed in a jumble of thoughts, back to reality.
"what?"
"Hey, sister-in-law, where do you think would be suitable?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.
Xia Chuwei saw Chen Xuan looking at her with a smile, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She secretly regretted that she had lost her composure like that.
After calming herself down slightly, she glanced nervously at the clothes hanging to the side.
Finally, her fingers landed on the lake-blue long robe, and she said in a slightly trembling voice, "This one, I'll take it."
Chen Xuan did as instructed, picked up the lake-blue robe, and gracefully put it on.
His clothes accentuated his tall and slender figure, and his already handsome face appeared even more refined and gentle, like a graceful gentleman who had stepped out of a painting, making people's hearts flutter.
Xia Chuwei gazed quietly at the completely transformed Chen Xuan before her, her heart pounding involuntarily.
She felt her breathing become rapid, and her cheeks felt like they were on fire.
"Why would I..."
She knew very well that as time went by, her feelings for Chen Xuan had probably deepened, and she was now hopelessly entangled in them.
However, emotions are something she cannot control.
"Sister-in-law, why aren't you saying anything?"
"You...you look great in this outfit, there's no need for me to pick anything out. If there's nothing else...you should go back now! I...I still have some things to take care of...Oh?!"
As Xia Chuwei spoke, Chen Xuan grabbed her hand.
"You, what are you doing?"
Chen Xuan grasped Xia Chuwei's hand, placed it on his heart, and looked at her with deep affection, his eyes burning with a fiery passion.
"Chu Wei, I know you have different feelings for me, right? I can feel your heartbeat, it's as fast as mine."
Xia Chuwei's body trembled slightly. She wanted to pull her hand away, yet she couldn't bear to leave that warm touch. Her eyes were filled with contradiction and struggle, and her moral defenses gradually crumbled under Chen Xuan's tender offensive.
"Chuwei, I know you have different feelings for me too, but why do you keep suppressing your emotions?" Seeing Xia Chuwei pull her hand away, Chen Xuan grabbed it again.
Xia Chuwei's body trembled slightly. She tried to pull her hand back, but it was as if she were held back by an invisible force, unable to move. Her heart pounded, her cheeks flushed, and she dared not look Chen Xuan in the eye.
"Chen Xuan, we can't do this, I am..." Xia Chuwei's voice was very soft, as if she was trying to convince herself, or as if she was pleading with Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan held her hand tightly, refusing to let go: "Chu Wei ( ), ( ), so what? I only know that my feelings for you are real. Every time I see you, my heart is involuntarily moved by you. I don't care about other people's opinions, I only care about your feelings."
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuwei looked up, tears welling in her eyes (it's unclear how they came to be). Her eyes met Chen Xuan's, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still. Under Chen Xuan's intense gaze, her defenses gradually crumbled.
Finally, Xia Chuwei stopped resisting. She tiptoed slightly and actually took the initiative to kiss Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan was taken aback at first, seemingly surprised by Xia Chuwei's change, but then he hugged Xia Chuwei tightly.

At the entrance of Yu Guili's courtyard, Xia Chuwei's face was beaming with a happy smile.
Chen Xuan gently stroked her hair and said tenderly, "Sister-in-law, I will always be with you from now on and will never let you get hurt again."
Xia Chuwei nodded slightly, her eyes filled with love, "Yes, I believe you."
"Well then, that's all for today. I'll be back in the next few days to learn some aristocratic etiquette from you. I don't think there will be anything else."
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're up to. No matter what you say, you're still an ascension from the lower realm. How could you possibly lack the manners and demeanor of a superior being!"
"Hehehe, we see through each other but don't say anything, that's how we remain good friends!"
"What kind of friend are you!" Xia Chuwei stomped her foot.
"What's wrong with me? I still have your most precious treasure, Sister-in-law Chuwei. Tell me, in the entire Immortal Realm, who could resist the urge to obtain such a treasure?"
"Pah! But you still managed to take away my other two important treasures!"
"Hehehe, I never expected this either! My older brother cultivates life force! And his technique requires him to keep his life force from leaking out, so he's never touched mine... Chu Wei, thank you!"
"You... alright, stop talking. This is... it's my fault. It's not right for you to mock the turtle like that!"
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything, but... you have to make it up to me!"
"Okay, now you can go!"
Xia Chuwei finally couldn't hold back and slammed the door shut.
