Xu Tingyu still went into the bathroom.
She hadn't slept for two days and two nights.
She needed the hot water to soothe her tense nerves so that she could better face Qi Shifeng.
But halfway through her shower, a hand suddenly traced up her waist and onto her back.
Then a naked, warm chest pressed against her from behind, and the faint fragrance of cedar instantly enveloped her.
Before she could say a word, the man pinned her to the corner, forcing her body against the cold glass wall.
She instinctively struggled, and inadvertently felt the man behind her was aroused.
He was crazy!
She struggled even more violently. "Let go of me!"
Instead of letting go, Qi Shifeng leaned closer to her ear and let out a low chuckle.
"You clearly enjoyed it here last time. Why are you pretending to be a chaste maiden now? Hmm?"
He took her resistance as a coy way of saying yes. He grabbed her waist and gently caressed it a few times, reluctant to let go.
Then with a sudden force, he made her soft waist arch, forming a beautiful curve.
Xu Tingyu's face was still pressed against the glass. It was cold.
But the anger in her heart was about to burn her up.
Heh, this was the man she had been married to for three years.
Her father had just been buried in humiliation today.
When he saw her, he didn't ask a single question. All he wanted was to sleep with her.
In his eyes, was she just a tool for him to vent his desires?
Her resistance and repulsion were too obvious.
A sinister look flashed in Qi Shifeng's eyes. He lowered his head and bit her neck.
At the same time, his fingers on her waist tightened slightly.
"Relax. I'm very tired today. I don't have the energy to coax you."
He had been in a closed - door meeting all day.
The idiots in the planning department had messed up a big contract, causing the Qi Group to lose hundreds of millions.
He had flown into a rage, and no one dared to say a word.
Even Secretary Zhang had wanted to speak up several times but finally swallowed his words.
When he got back and saw her slender, smooth back through the unclosed bathroom door, his mood had improved a little.
In his view, the unclosed bathroom door was an unspoken invitation.
Xu Tingyu was pressed against the glass. The glass was cold, while the man's fiery body behind her stimulated her fragile senses.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
He said he would coax her?
When had he ever coaxed her?
For the sake of sleeping with her, he would say anything.
She got desperate. Finally, when he turned her face and lowered his head to kiss her, she broke free and almost shouted at him in a breakdown.
"Qi Shifeng, you bastard!"
Even though he was deeply aroused, there was no obvious sign of indulgence in Qi Shifeng's eyes.
They were still as deep, cold, noble, and detached as ever.
Suddenly, she remembered the photo of him and Xie Yu. When he presented the flowers to her, his eyes were full of affectionate tenderness.
It was as if she was the most precious treasure to him.
He wasn't incapable of being gentle. He just wouldn't be gentle with her.
The water from the shower head was still gushing.
Like a trapped animal, she hugged herself and shrank into the corner, her eyes blood - red.
The pain in her chest was so intense that she could hardly stand steady. She could only lean against the cold glass behind her.
Seeing her staring at him like this, Qi Shifeng seemed to think of something and let out a sneer. "Angry?"
He took a step closer to her, bent down, and looked down at her.
Was he going to explain it to her?
Xu Tingyu's heart skipped a beat. She suppressed the pent - up anger in her chest and looked at him.
The disdain and the complex, cold look in his eyes were too obvious.
She immediately realized her naivety.
How could he ever explain anything to a tool for his desires?
She hugged her arms tightly, so hard that her fingertips turned white.
Sure enough, the next second, she saw the smile on Qi Shifeng's lips fade.
He became the unreachable second young master of the Qi family again.
Then his heartless lips moved, and he spat out three words. "You don't deserve it."
After saying that, he didn't even look at her again. He grabbed a towel to wrap around himself and strode out of the bathroom.
Hearing the same three words as on their wedding day three years ago, Xu Tingyu's tears fell again.
Three years ago, both Mr. Qi and Xu Jianmin wanted to hold a grand wedding for her and Qi Shifeng.
After all, the marriage between the Qi and Xu families was a perfect alliance, attracting the attention of countless people.
Naturally, it should be held in a grand and magnificent way.
But Qi Shifeng disagreed.
For this reason, Mr. Qi was so angry that he wanted to teach him a lesson.
It was Xu Tingyu who took all the blame on herself.
She said she didn't want to be too tired.
She said that for such a moment, only the families of both sides needed to be present to give their blessings.
Mr. Qi had always liked her very much. After hearing what she said, he reluctantly agreed to simplify everything and keep it low - key.
However, in such a wealthy family alliance, no matter how simplified it was, all the proper rituals were in place.
At that time, she thought she was the happiest person in the world.
Until she got a little bored waiting in the dressing room and went out to chat with her friends.
When she passed by the smoking room, she heard the conversation between Qi Shifeng and his best man.
"I said, Second Young Master Qi, you're worth billions, but you buy a fake diamond ring worth 200 yuan for your future wife? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if it gets out? Are all the things in your safe just for show?"
She hadn't seen the wedding ring at that time. Hearing this, she couldn't help but stop.
Through the slightly ajar door, she saw Qi Shifeng.
He was leaning against the wall, a half - smoked cigarette between his well - defined fingers.
He was dressed in a sharp suit, noble and cold.
But there was a bit of a malicious smile on his handsome face. "She doesn't deserve it."
She couldn't remember what else was said inside later.
All she remembered was that during the wedding when it was time to exchange rings.
Qi Shifeng grabbed her hand impatiently and pushed the ring all the way on.
The best man holding the ring box couldn't help but laugh out loud. He was glared at by Qi Shifeng and quickly put on a serious look.
And she was too nervous at that time. Without having the time to take a closer look, she took the ring for him and put it on his finger.
It was only after the wedding that she had the time to look at the wedding ring.
The craftsmanship, worth 200 yuan, was extremely rough. One didn't even need to look carefully to tell it was fake.
But she didn't want to give up.
She held up her hand and looked at it in the light for a long time before she had to admit that not only was it fake, but the size was also wrong.
Qi Shifeng couldn't resist his family and was forced to marry her.
But he also used various ways to tell her that he didn't love her.
Later, Mr. Qi found out about this. He called Qi Shifeng over and scolded him, then compensated Xu Tingyu with a lot of jewelry.
Among them was a 10 - carat pigeon - egg diamond ring. It was very beautiful, shining brightly under the light and giving people a shocking visual experience.
Mr. Qi told her that this was the real wedding ring from the Qi family.
Later, a photo of this diamond ring, worth nearly 40 million yuan, made it onto the news to prove the luxury of the alliance between the Qi and Xu families.
In fact, Xu Tingyu had never worn it. After receiving it, it was locked in Qi Shifeng's safe.
There were thousands of rings in the world. If it wasn't put on by the husband on the wedding day, how could it be considered a wedding ring?
In Qi Shifeng's heart, she was just a fake worth 200 yuan.
