When Xu Tingyu woke up again, her eyes were swollen and her lips were split.
There were also ambiguous marks all over her body, some deep and some shallow.
It was enough to show how reckless that man could be when he went crazy.
The man had mentioned Xie Yu and exposed that she had deliberately provoked Xie Yu into making trouble with Qi Shifeng.
So she stopped pretending and said bluntly,
"I did it on purpose. So what?"
"She came to me again and again, asking me to step aside. What could I do?"
"Or do you want to see two women fight each other desperately for you, without any dignity?
"Sorry to disappoint you then."
Her original intention was to infuriate Xie Yu, hoping that this woman would lose her temper and expose more evidence of Qi Shifeng's disgust for her.
Maybe there would be something about the bankruptcy of the Xu family.
But unexpectedly, Xie Yu was more patient than she had thought.
Until she left the coffee shop, Xie Yu didn't say anything about the Xu family.
It was a wasted meeting.
But now that Qi Shifeng wanted to confront her, she might as well just admit it.
No one could beat her when it came to provoking Qi Shifeng.
With just a few words, she had enraged him so much that the corners of his eyes were red.
He looked at the woman who was sharp - tongued and unyielding, and bit down on her neck.
He wished he could bite off her neck to feel better.
Her hands were tied, so she kicked him with her feet.
But he easily grabbed her ankles, spread her legs, and wrapped them around his waist.
He didn't say a word. Only the increasing strength showed his anger.
At first, she was stubborn and bit her lips tightly, giving no reaction at all.
But he seemed to be determined. If she didn't make a sound, he would make her scream.
In the late autumn night, both of them broke out in a light sweat.
Xu Tingyu was blushing and her ears were red, as if a fire was about to burn her up.
She was like a rose in full bloom, beautiful and breathtaking.
In the end, she couldn't stand it anymore. Before she could even beg for mercy, she screamed and reached the peak.
The man's deep and heavy breathing was like howling wind, blowing across her heart.
But she couldn't hear anything, and her vision was white.
Before she could rest for a moment, Qi Shifeng started again.
Finally, she clung to his shoulders, and tears of physiological reaction flowed everywhere.
"I... I don't want it anymore, Qi Shifeng. Stop, please..."
Qi Shifeng ignored her and just kissed her forcefully, blocking all her pleas.
In the end, Xu Tingyu didn't know when she fell asleep. Even in her dreams, she was pitifully begging for mercy.
So the exhausted her would never know that Qi Shifeng didn't sleep all night.
He patiently pulled her back into his arms again and again, and stroked her features in the darkness again and again.
When she screamed and clung to his shoulders, the way she relied on him completely made him crazy with love.
He wasn't satisfied, but she cried so pitifully, like she was made of water.
He even suspected that if he continued, she would die of dehydration.
So he softened his heart for once and let her go.
When Xu Tingyu woke up, Qi Shifeng was no longer by her side.
She stumbled out of bed and went to the bathroom, only to find that her body was covered in marks.
There was not a single mark on the place where her neck had been bitten.
That man was crazy, but not completely out of his mind.
As soon as she thought of this, she was annoyed at herself for making excuses for him. She angrily turned away and took a shower.
As soon as she came out wrapped in a towel, she saw that Qi Shifeng had come back at some point and was sitting on the edge of the bed.
She was startled and her legs went weak instinctively. She almost fell.
After going crazy all night, this man was still energetic, noble and elegant.
On the contrary, she was like a person whose essence had been sucked dry by a goblin, weak all over.
"Come here."
Qi Shifeng's eyes swept across her shoulders. He squinted slightly and his voice was cold.
She didn't know why he wasn't going to work and what crazy thing he was going to do to her. She hesitated for a moment and didn't want to go over.
The man was very patient. He didn't say a word and just stared at her.
They were in a stalemate for a few minutes, which seemed like a century to Xu Tingyu.
Finally, she was the first to give in. She covered the towel on her chest and shuffled over.
When she was still one meter away from him and hadn't even stood still, she was grabbed by the impatient Qi Shifeng.
She let out a soft cry and landed on his lap.
"Call Qi Ye and read what's on the paper."
He stuffed her phone into her hand and took out a piece of paper.
She quickly glanced at the words on the paper and immediately widened her eyes.
"Big brother, I don't need your money. My husband is rich. I'll return the money for being a stand - in, with interest."
On the phone screen was Qi Ye's number. The call had been dialed but not answered yet.
"I'll find a way to pay big brother back. You don't need to worry about it."
Xu Tingyu realized that this man had paid back the film payment to Qi Ye on her behalf.
Now he wanted her to call and "thank" Qi Ye.
No, it wasn't gratitude. It was to make an enemy.
After all, every word was full of provocation.
Qi Shifeng was really crazy.
She refused and tried to escape, but she couldn't break free from his restraint. She was firmly pressed on his lap.
"Still not learning to be obedient, huh?"
He whispered in her ear, grinding his teeth.
Did she want to pay it back by herself? Or did she want to continue to be involved with Qi Ye?
Xu Tingyu was still struggling. Just as she was about to speak, the phone was answered.
"Tingyu."
Qi Ye's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone. You didn't even need to see his expression to know that he must be smiling.
Xu Tingyu didn't want to show the embarrassment between her and her husband in front of others, so she stopped struggling and quickly adjusted her mood.
"Big brother, sorry. I hope I'm not disturbing you at this time."
As soon as she said this, she felt the hand on her waist tighten.
She turned her head and met Qi Shifeng's warning look.
"It's okay. Do you need something from me? Did you run into some trouble?"
Qi Ye was still as gentle as ever.
Xu Tingyu quickly explained, "No... Ah..."
Before she could finish, her waist was pinched again as a warning.
She was "at the mercy of others" now. She could only glare at the culprit fiercely and then continue speaking in Qi Ye's concerned voice.
"I just found out that it was you who paid me for being a stand - in. Thank you, big brother, but I can't take it."
"So just now, Shifeng transferred the money to you. Could you check if you've received it? Thank you so much, big brother."
"I'm calling just to say this."
Although it was a bit embarrassing, even if Qi Shifeng hadn't forced her to make this call, she would have contacted Qi Ye on her own initiative.
No matter how difficult her situation was, she had no reason to take Qi Ye's money.
Compared to owing Qi Ye, she would rather owe Qi Shifeng.
While she was taking a shower just now, she was still thinking that he hadn't mentioned the IOU. Did that mean he was willing to pay off her debt voluntarily?
Since Qi Shifeng was willing to pay off her debt for her, why shouldn't she accept it?
Anyway, she had already lost all her dignity in front of him.
Now survival was more important.
