"Are you jealous because you mind so much about me and Chen Siqi?"
Facing Xiao Yanzhi's overwhelming presence, she softened her tone, as if she had guessed his mind. A mist covered her eyes.
It was a kind of charm that she was unaware of.
Xiao Yanzhi squinted his eyes, and his pupils contracted violently.
His eyes were extremely cold, carrying a biting chill. "Jealous of you? You think too highly of yourself."
He remembered the two obvious hangover pills he found in the corridor of the club, which were apparently prepared for him. Suddenly, he let out a soft laugh, his tone mocking, and the corners of his lips curved up slightly. "The thief cries 'stop the thief'?"
Jiang Li stared back at him, a look of confusion in her eyes.
The thief cries 'stop the thief'?
"You'd better be more honest, Jiang Li."
Xiao Yanzhi reached out and pressed his fingertips against her lips, gently caressing them. The soft touch made him reluctant to let go.
"I've been promoting Qin Yaoyao, and there's a lot of talk about it outside," Xiao Yanzhi's thin lips parted slightly. "They say that you, the current main wife, have fallen out of favor and are deliberately targeting Qin Yaoyao."
His dark eyes fixed on her, trying to detect the slightest clue from her expression.
Hearing this, Jiang Li really burst out laughing from the bottom of her heart. "When did Mr. Xiao become so gossipy and believe what those media fabricate?"
She changed the subject and said with a smile, "Besides, isn't Qin Yaoyao the apple of your eye? How dare I target her?"
"After being with you for so many years, I know very well what I should and shouldn't do. I know my place."
Xiao Yanzhi looked at Jiang Li, who remained calm. The curve of his lips slowly tightened.
His eyes narrowed dangerously, and his voice was cold and emotionless. "Jiang Li, you'd better be what you say. Don't have any wrong thoughts."
After saying that, his fingertips moved away from Jiang Li's lips. He impatiently took out a tissue from his pocket, wiped his hands with disgust, and then threw it into the trash can.
As if he had touched something dirty just now.
The smile in Jiang Li's eyes faded, and she no longer pretended. Her clear, tear - filled eyes looked at him. "I should remind Mr. Xiao that in a relationship based on physical desires, don't let your heart get involved."
Her provocative tone kept provoking Xiao Yanzhi's bottom line.
His eyes were gloomy, and the darkness in them churned like ink. Suddenly, he took a step forward, wedged his knee between Jiang Li's legs, and pinned her against the living - room wall. He kissed her lips fiercely.
It was like an act of revenge.
Jiang Li was caught off guard. Her soft waist was pressed hard against the wall, and she let out a soft groan of pain. The sound inadvertently escaping from her lips and teeth further stirred the man's nerves.
His pupils gradually turned blood - red. He impatiently unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his well - built upper body.
The man had the advantage of height. He directly grabbed Jiang Li's slender waist and pressed his knee against her thigh, lifting her up in the air and making her wrap her legs around his waist.
The nightgown she had just changed into after taking a bath slipped off, and her hair spread out on her smooth back. She couldn't help but shiver.
"You're really good for nothing but being fucked."
He hugged her waist tightly and sat down on the sofa.
This position was right in front of a mirror in the living room.
Xiao Yanzhi's voice was hoarse, exuding a highly aggressive male aura. "Jiang Li, open your eyes and look at your worthless self."
Xiao Yanzhi held her waist with one hand while using the other to unfasten his belt. The sound of the metal buckle was very clear.
Jiang Li's pupils constricted. Looking at the erotic scene in the mirror, she closed her eyes, and her body trembled. "Don't... not in the living room..."
Even though they had been intimate before, Jiang Li was still conservative in her thinking and strongly opposed doing such things in places other than the bedroom.
But the man didn't care about her resistance. He lowered his head and bit her collarbone. His heavy breathing fell on her neck. "Be honest. Don't you like this?"
Before he could unzip his pants, the phone in his pocket rang.
The shrill ringing suddenly cut through the ambiguity between the two. The daze in Jiang Li's eyes also cleared a bit.
Xiao Yanzhi had no intention of ending it. He just paused and still maintained his current position as he answered the phone.
"A Yan, the power and water suddenly went out in the house I'm living in. I'm alone in the bathroom now. I'm so scared..."
Qin Yaoyao's frightened cries came from the receiver. Xiao Yanzhi's face almost instantly became serious.
The darkness in his eyes lost all traces of passion just now, and his expression showed a bit of nervousness.
"Don't be afraid. I'll come right away."
He said in a low voice, soothing Qin Yaoyao on the phone while pushing Jiang Li, who was still sitting on him, away. He stood up and fastened his belt again, buttoning up his shirt one by one.
His actions were surprisingly fast.
Jiang Li still knelt on the sofa, disheveled. With her charming eyes half - closed, she said in a seductive voice with a lingering tail, "Not going to continue?"
The only response she got was a mocking look from Xiao Yanzhi.
After the man left completely, Jiang Li slowly sat up straight on the sofa. She tidied up her messy nightgown and then got up to go to the bathroom to freshen up.
Her skin was fair and smooth, without a single scar or flaw.
The bite mark on her collarbone in the mirror was even more obvious. The skin was broken, and a little blood oozed out.
She touched it with water, and the pain made her gasp. Her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.
Damn it.
...
When Xiao Yanzhi arrived at Qin Yaoyao's place, as soon as the door opened, someone in the darkness tightly hugged his waist.
He immediately stiffened.
"A Yan, I'm so scared..."
Qin Yaoyao's crying came from in front of him, helpless and desperate. "I have claustrophobia. I was alone in the bathroom just now. I almost..."
She didn't finish the rest of the sentence and started sobbing again.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here."
Xiao Yanzhi gently patted Qin Yaoyao's back with his big hand. His voice was very gentle as he comforted her to sit on the sofa.
He called the property management and found out that they were doing water - pipe maintenance and had sent a notice to all the owners in advance. It was just that Qin Yaoyao didn't see it.
As for the power outage, it was because Qin Yaoyao used electricity improperly, which caused the circuit breaker in the house to trip.
"I'm so stupid, A Yan."
Qin Yaoyao was wrapped in a bath towel. Her wet eyes looked at him, full of self - blame. "It's all my fault for being so careless. I didn't check the notice from the community in advance. I made you come here at night."
Xiao Yanzhi's expression remained unchanged. He ruffled her hair but didn't show much emotion. "It doesn't matter. As long as you're okay."
He looked up at the clock on the wall and noticed the bath towel on her. He frowned slightly and subconsciously averted his eyes. "Go and change your clothes quickly. You'll catch a cold like this."
After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.
Qin Yaoyao obediently answered. But when she saw that he was really going to leave, her eyes flickered, and she reached out to grab the corner of his suit.
"A Yan, will you stay with me tonight?"
