Due to dancing, Xu Tingyu had her long hair pulled up, revealing her elegant swan-like neck.
This made it convenient for Qi Shifeng now. He planted a kiss on the back of her neck.
She was covered in a light sweat, and the hair on her temples was slightly damp. Feeling a bit uncomfortable, she struggled to leave his embrace.
But he pressed himself tightly against her and buried his head in the crook of her neck. "You smell so good. What perfume are you using?"
During the time she was away, the scent of her in the house had faded a lot.
It was quite unsettling.
He had gone to her dressing table to look for perfume, but after smelling each one, none of them was the same as the fragrance on her.
Now that the soft and fragrant woman was in his arms, he seemed to engrave this scent into his very bones.
Xu Tingyu sensed his arousal and didn't dare to move around anymore. She just obediently replied, "It's probably the smell of the body wash. I didn't use perfume today."
To be precise, she hadn't used any perfume during her hospital stay.
The man gently bit the skin on her neck and asked indistinctly, "Then why do you smell so good?"
They were using the same body wash. Why did she smell so good?
Xu Tingyu hurriedly pressed down his hand that was trying to take off her clothes. "I'm sweating. I'll go take a shower."
After sweating, it couldn't smell good.
But the man refused to let go. He turned her body around and pressed her against the glass again. Then he lowered his head and kissed her.
Xu Tingyu's body was soft, fragrant, and warm. Just holding her in his arms could arouse all his desires.
He easily peeled off her dress.
Outside the window, the moon peeked out, casting a cold light.
She was even more dazzling than the moonlight.
Xu Tingyu couldn't stop his hands.
Moreover, this was their bedroom, and she was his wife.
She had no reason to refuse.
Besides, this man was extremely talented in some aspects. She couldn't really be considered at a loss.
She took a look at his eyes.
The usually calm black eyes were now filled with a hint of daze and confusion.
She didn't look a second time. She closed her eyes and reached out to touch the buttons of his shirt.
She knew better than anyone that he was infatuated with her young beauty and body.
But he always knew the difference between desire and love.
She was tough enough in character, but not strong enough.
Moreover, the gap in strength was huge. Being hesitant and cautious, she could only struggle in this terrible quagmire.
Xu Tingyu's response made Qi Shifeng a bit happy.
He pinched her waist and left ambiguous marks on her body, deep and shallow.
Xu Tingyu simply stopped thinking about anything. She softened her waist in his hands and let him do as he pleased.
When her shallow breaths were turned into broken gasps, her slender fingers grabbed randomly, trying to hold onto something to support her weak legs.
But in front of her was only Qi Shifeng.
She had no choice but to wrap her arms around his waist.
In the midst of passion and confusion, her fingertips brushed against a slight bulge.
She managed to regain a bit of rationality.
This man's skin was always smooth. How could there be something like a scar on his body?
She wanted to touch it again, but her hand was caught and lifted above her head.
"Don't touch me."
He was domineering and unreasonable, controlling all her reactions.
The bit of rationality that Xu Tingyu had managed to hold on to was shattered again. She didn't even have the strength to refute him about why he could do as he pleased while she couldn't.
She fell into the surging waves he brought and couldn't think at all.
Layer after layer of light sweat dampened her hair. Her face was flushed from the heat, and her beautiful eyes were filled with passion and confusion.
She didn't know how much time had passed. She was completely exhausted and leaned against his chest. He picked her up and walked into the bathroom.
When Qi Shifeng's clothes were thrown out, she saw a scar on his waist.
It was very obvious on his lean waist.
Not only was there one on his waist, but there was also one on his thigh.
She was stunned. Before she could take a closer look, she was greeted by his endless entanglement again.
How could he get injured?
And who would dare to hurt him?
He noticed her distraction and was a bit unhappy. He lost control of his strength and was a bit brutal.
She let out a scream. Her voice was out of tune, and her body trembled violently. She couldn't spare any energy to think about anything else.
When she was finally carried back to the bed, it was already very late at night.
Xu Tingyu was so tired that she didn't even want to move her fingers. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she couldn't wait to get under the covers.
However, the man still didn't let her go.
He was like a greedy beast. In the darkness, he kissed her from time to time.
But he didn't go any further.
He just hugged her from behind, and his cold breath blew against her ear.
It was an extremely intimate posture.
Xu Tingyu finally fell into a deep sleep with peace of mind.
That night, she slept very well and didn't wake up once.
Even the nightmares that had haunted her for days disappeared.
When she woke up again, Qi Shifeng was naturally no longer in the room.
She stared blankly at the lamp above her head for a long time.
What were they to each other?
She didn't know herself.
But she didn't have much time to be confused, because soon, she received a call from Zhang Qiu.
"Were you beaten by Liu Ning?"
Zhang Qiu didn't know where she got this news from, and her tone was full of disbelief.
Xu Tingyu paused for a moment and asked her in return, "How did you know?"
If even Zhang Qiu knew, did that mean the whole outside world knew?
She wasn't afraid of losing face. She was afraid that the negative news would spread and anger the Qi family, which would in turn implicate her mother and younger brother.
After all, she had just refused that huge sum of money yesterday. If this news got out now, it would inevitably be thought that she was greedy and was just playing hard to get.
Hearing her question, Zhang Qiu knew that this matter was true. She was immediately heartbroken and indignant.
"That damned Liu Ning! How dare she beat you up? What era is this? She's breaking the law!"
"Your dad and I at home wouldn't even dare to touch a single hair on you, but she beat you to the hospital. This matter can't just end like this."
Zhang Qiu's tone was very excited.
So excited that Xu Tingyu felt that the next second, she would rush in front of Liu Ning and return those whips to her.
"Mom, don't be so excited. First, tell me how you found out about this."
She didn't have time to be touched by her mother's sudden concern. She had to figure out where she got the news from first.
After being comforted by her for a few words, Zhang Qiu finally told her the whole story.
It turned out that this morning when Zhang Qiu went out, she met an acquaintance.
This acquaintance's expression was very strange when she saw Liu Ning. After hesitating several times, she finally couldn't help but tell her.
"Your lovely daughter was almost beaten to death by her mother-in-law."
"Hey, the Qi family is really not a good bunch. Knowing that your family just had some trouble, they treat you like this. They're really not human."
The woman sighed a lot and defended Xu Tingyu.
After Zhang Qiu heard this from her, she was so angry that she almost fainted.
Although her relationship with her daughter was a bit delicate, she had never beaten her.
Now being beaten to the hospital by that woman Liu Ning, it was obvious that they were looking down on the Xu family because it was in decline.
Back then when the Xu family was in financial difficulties, the Qi family didn't offer any help. Now they even beat her daughter. This was simply too bullying.
