Hearing the words "have fun", Xu Tingyu's lips trembled. Fortunately, her face was already flushed, so her embarrassment was not noticeable.
She bit her lip, suppressing the sob that was about to escape, and then replied to him calmly.
"I'm also quite curious. After we get divorced, we can just give it a try and find out."
"I've also heard that younger guys are better. Older, wealthy men may not spend money on you, but younger guys will surely put their energy into pleasing you."
"By then, after I've experienced it, if Mr. Qi is still curious, I don't mind sharing it with... Ah, you bastard!"
Before her provocative words were finished, they were shattered by his actions.
Qi Shifeng secretly tightened his grip on her waist. His eyes were as dangerous as if he wanted to tear her apart and devour her. His voice was low and menacing.
"Xu Tingyu, you're asking for trouble."
He didn't give her another chance to speak.
Her repeated provocations finally made this man lose his patience.
He rolled over with her in his arms, preventing her from getting distracted and provoking him further.
Their shadows fell on the floor, overlapping into a charming play of light and shadow.
Just as she finally fell into a deep sleep, Xu Tingyu heard her hoarse voice asking him, "Qi Shifeng, why on earth?"
It was him who had treated her lightly and disrespectfully.
Now, she had personally offered the knife to cut off all ties, yet it was still him who turned a blind eye.
Unfortunately, she didn't hear an answer before she fell into a dream.
Strangely enough, this time, she had no dreams after falling asleep.
When she woke up fully rested, it was already afternoon the next day.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she suddenly realized that she wasn't in her apartment.
Instead, she was in the wedding room she shared with Qi Shifeng.
Their wedding photo was still hanging on the wall.
She was smiling brightly in the photo, in stark contrast to the coldness of the man beside her.
Even so, the photographer at that time had kept complimenting them.
"You two are both extremely good-looking. In all the wedding photos I've taken, I've never seen a more well-matched couple than you two."
She stared blankly at the wedding photo for a few seconds, then realized that Qi Shifeng hadn't left yet.
She was startled and instinctively rolled away from him.
The hand on her waist slid off.
Qi Shifeng was woken up, but he had been working non - stop and was extremely sleep - deprived. He was so tired that he couldn't even open his eyes.
He just reached out his long arm, pulled her back into his arms, groped around on her body for a while, and then his hand settled back on her waist.
His actions were so smooth that Xu Tingyu even forgot to struggle.
It was not until his breathing became steady again that she came to her senses.
What was this?
Beating someone and then offering a sweet?
Thinking of this, she grabbed his hand and threw it aside, then quickly escaped from his embrace.
Qi Shifeng was woken up again. His eyes were hazy and sleepy, completely lacking the coldness and sharpness when he was awake.
"How on earth did you bring me back here? Did you drug me?"
She was fully awake after sleeping.
Yesterday, she had taken Qi Ye's car back to her apartment. Even if she had fallen asleep from exhaustion, there was no way she could have slept so soundly that she didn't react when being brought here.
Qi Shifeng felt empty - handed after being woken up.
After hearing Xu Tingyu's words, he also felt a strange sense of emptiness in his heart.
But who was he? He was the person in power of the Qi family who made his business opponents tremble in fear.
The imposing aura returned to this man.
Even though he was lying on his side in bed and his hair was a bit messy, it didn't affect his profound, cold, and noble appearance.
"Xu Tingyu, it's you who should explain why you ran away from home."
"And why you were sitting in another man's car late at night and sleeping in a coma."
He reached out his hand towards her, and his voice was faintly cold.
"Tell me, was this part of your game?"
"Did I ruin your good deed by bringing you back?"
Xu Tingyu was stunned. She didn't even react when he pulled her back into his arms.
Seeing her look blank and obviously unaware, Qi Shifeng sneered in anger.
"You don't even know when you've fallen into someone else's trap. Is this the freedom you wanted?"
He tightened his grip on her waist, not allowing her to dodge. He hated her so much that it seemed as if he wanted to break her waist.
Yesterday, he had gone to her new address.
She wasn't at home.
The information passed on by Jiang Li showed that besides filming variety shows, she had also worked as a stunt actress.
Qi Shifeng was sitting in the car, listening to Jiang Li's hesitant report.
"The daily pay is 300,000 yuan, but this amount is higher than the market price. So I went to the producer."
"This money... this money was given by the eldest young master of the Qi family."
Although Qi Ye also worked in the Qi Group, he held an idle position.
While everyone called Qi Shifeng Mr. Qi, they called Qi Ye the eldest young master.
After Jiang Li finished reporting this piece of information, he said a few other things and then quickly hung up the phone nervously.
Even though it was just a phone call, he felt as if he could hardly breathe.
His boss was truly terrifying!
Qi Shifeng remained sitting. The darkness completely enveloped him.
The phone had been hung up, but his hand holding the phone was placed on his knee. His knuckles were distinct and slightly pale.
No one knew how long he had maintained this position.
Finally, the car's headlights startled him.
When he got out of the car and walked towards Qi Ye's car, Qi Ye was shaking Xu Tingyu while anxiously calling her.
She was asleep, but there was obviously something wrong with her. Her cheeks were red, and she was groaning.
Qi Shifeng almost roughly pulled open the car door.
Qi Ye was a bit surprised to see him, but still said first, "Shifeng, you're just in time. Tingyu is not feeling well. I can't wake her up."
Qi Shifeng didn't look at him. He just bent down and got into the car, unbuckled the seat - belt, and carried her out.
Xu Tingyu frowned but showed no sign of waking up.
The dim street lights delicately outlined her beautiful features. Her long black hair was scattered and was blown by the night wind, tangling around his hand.
Qi Shifeng tightened his arms, pressing her face against his chest, and soon noticed her unusual body temperature.
Qi Ye quickly got out of the car.
His usually gentle face showed a bit of panic. "She must be sick. We should send her to the hospital quickly."
Qi Shifeng finally spared a glance at him. There was an undisguised aura of violence around him.
"Xixi complained to me last time that big brother didn't even attend her graduation ceremony."
"I always thought big brother was very busy. I just don't know why you have so much free time for your sister - in - law."
He didn't say anything explicitly, but he emphasized the words "sister - in - law".
Qi Ye's face turned pale for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Xixi has the love of everyone in the Qi family."
"I was the one who brought you back when you got married to Tingyu. I've always felt guilty that she hasn't been happy."
There was no trace of self - interest left in his gentle expression. He looked like a truly upright gentleman.
Qi Shifeng raised his eyebrows and looked at him deeply.
"Brother, you and I both know very well that the root of the problem wasn't planted back then."
"So, stop overstepping the line."
"At least, living in the same neighborhood as your sister - in - law who ran away from home in a fit of temper will only cause rumors, right?"
He gave a warning and didn't look at the other man again. He just carried Xu Tingyu away.
The relationship between the two brothers wasn't as bad as the rumors said.
In fact, they were hardly acquainted.
