Chapter 200 You Stink
They kept hugging each other in the same position, but Yuliana could not stand it anymore after a
while.
She struggled to get up.
Christopher instinctively tightened his arms and held her tightly against his chest, holding her intimately.
Yuliana was getting more and more ufortable. She felt like her belly was being squeezed, and her
body was being twisted.
She looked up to talk to Christopher and coincidentally met his gaze.

Christopher’s eyes were bright and clear. There was only pureness being reflected on Yuliana’s face.
Yuliana was stunned for a moment. She felt like she was being pulled into Christopher’s gaze. After
looking at each other for two seconds, Christopher suddenly lowered his head and leaned towards her.
Yuliana panicked and instinctively covered his mouth when she realized what he would do.
Both of them came to their senses and were taken aback.
Yuliana wanted to pull her hand away from Christopher’s mouth, but after hesitating for a while, she left
it there. “You can’t kiss me tonight. I’ll only let go of my hand if you agree. And if you don’t agree…” Her
tone was firm.
Christopher’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and then his eyes glinted mischievously. Yuliana could feel his
lips moving under her hand.
“And if I don’t agree?”
Yuliana felt a little embarrassed meeting his gaze. It was not like she could cover his mouth the whole
night if he disagreed.
“I’ll seal your mouth with duct tape if you don’t agree,” said Yuliana in mock fierceness after a few
seconds.
After saying that, she made herselfugh when she imagined what Christopher would look like with his
mouth duct-taped and some other random scenario.
Christopher raised his hand and grabbed Yuliana’s wrist. Her wrist was so small that his hand could
easily encircle it with some space left. However, it was not bony, for he could feel the soft flesh when
pressing it. He could not get enough of the feeling.
He grabbed her wrist, pressed the back of her hand against his lips, and said, “Fine, I won’t kiss your
lips, but you didn’t say anything about kissing your hand.”
“You stink,” said Yukana with a smile, acting as she minded.
She actually did not mind the smell of alcohol. It was the taste of the red pepper kes from the
hangover remedy that Christopher drank,bined with the smell of the alcohol, that made Yuliana
feel ufortable.
“You really hate the smell of red pepper kes, huh?” Christopher parted his lips and bit her hand.
Yuliana propped up his body, changed her position, and leaned against him on the bed. “How do you
know I hate the smell of red pepper kes? I’ve never told you that, right?” she asked.
Christopher looked at her and paused himself. He realized he had said something he should not have.
He touched his nose and said, “I heard it from Hailey.”
Yuliana looked at his embarrassed expression and found his words suspicious, but she did not press
further. She leaned against his chest and murmured, “I haven’t eaten red pepper kes since
childhood. I can’t stand the taste. I remember one time when I was eating at school, I identally ate
some red pepper kes, and I threw up on the spot.”
In fact, she did not only throw up, but she also fainted.
She had to go to the cafeteria with her ssmates because she identally spilled her packed lunch.
She had forgotten what food she had ordered from the cafeteria. She thought the red pepper kes
were some other dried herbs, su she ate them without giving them much thought. However, her gag
reflex made her throw up after she had a bite.
Yuliana’s ssmates were frightened. They thought she was sick.
Later, even the cafeteria staff rushed over because they thought something was wrong with the food.
She fell into a daze after throwing up. There was still the taste of red pepper kes in her mouth, and
her stomach kept cramping and twisting even though she threw up everything she could. She was
embarrassed to be at the center of attention for the wrong reason and finally passed but from the
stress.
When she woke up, she was in the infirmary. Xandria heard the news and rushed over. Yuliana asked
her to buy chewing gum. She chewed several pieces to cover up the taste of the red pepper kes.
And because of this, Xandria made fun of her for years.
It was the only time since her birth that Yuliana had publicly done something so embarrassing.
Although she still could not stand the taste of red pepper kes now that she had grown, she did not
find it as repulsive as before. She would just spit it out and gargle her mouth on the asional
moments when she identally ate it.
However, the smell of the red pepper kes emitting from Christopher’s mouth was too much.
She could not even stand the thought of kissing him on the lips.
She was afraid she would throw up again. And this time, it would be on Christopher.
Christopher’s expression was a bit off. He coughed lightly and said, “It’s not a big deal if you don’t want
to eat red pepper kes.”
“Thanks,” said Yuliana lightly. She leaned against him and fell silent.
Christopher did not say anything either.
There was more than a trace of tenderness in the room.
Yuliana liked their state, but some things just could not be ignored, even if she tried to run away from
them. They still needed to be solved. Otherwise, she would never be able to get what she wanted.
Although it was not the best timing, being New Year’s Eve and all, she did not want to leave it until next
year.
“Christopher.” Yuliana looked up at him and asked, “Can we talk about Annabelle?”
Christopher’s eyebrows twitched slightly to the point of being almost unnoticeable. Yuliana did not
notice it because of how she was angled toward him.
She stared at Christopher for a while, and seeing that he did not say anything, she continued, “I never
knew how you feel toward Annabelle. I used to think you loved her, but today La told me that
Annabelle’s father sacrificed himself to save you.”
And because of that, Yuliana felt that the bond between Christopher and Annabelle was more than
love.
“I would be so guilt-fidden if someone died to save me,” thought Yuliana. In fact, all the things
Christopher had done for Annabelle were to alleviate his own guilt.
Every time he did something for Annabelle, he would feel a little relieved.
“In the past, no matter what you did for Annabelle, it was for your own business. But it’s different now.
You’re my husband and the father of my child. You have a duty to protect us. I hope you put my child
and me first. before you do anything. Secondly, as a wife, I don’t want my husband to be too enmeshed
with other women, so if we want to continue our marriage, you have to promise me that you will keep a
proper distance from Annabelle in the future.”
Yuliana’s expression was light, and her voice was very calm, but her tone was serious and left no room
for negotiation.
Annabelle’s father lost his life to save Christopher, so it would be unrealistic for him to break off contact
with Annabellepletely. What Yuliana wanted was assurance from Christopher that he would be
willing to change his unhealthy rtionship with Annabelle for the sake of her and his child.
“This is the premise of me promising not to divorce you.” Yuliana got up from him and looked into his
eyes. “Christopher, we can stay married if you can do that, but if you can’t, then it’s better if we end
things now.”
Christopher kept his expression neutral throughout Yuliana’s speech.
His Adam’s apple slowly bobbed up and down while he looked at Yuliana. After a long silence, he
reached out his hand to hold Yuliana tightly in his arms and said in a deep voice, “Okay.”
Yuliana’s eyes teared up a little at his reply while the corners of her lips rose up on their own ord.
She looked at him with bright, shiny eyes.
Smiling, Christopher looked at her smiling red eyes. “Hey?”
A few loud bangs came from outside the room just when Yuliana was about to say something. The dark
night sky was also suddenly illuminated. The two of them looked out the window simultaneously and
saw at huge firework exploding in the night sky.
The two of them stared dazedly at the fireworks for a long time until the night sky returned to normal.
Christopher asked, “What did you want to say?”
