To be precise, the fact that Qi Ye was the one who paid her as a stand - in was quite a blow to her.
She once thought she was doing okay. Just after her comeback, in just a few months, she had earned a seven - figure income.
In that case, she always thought that one day she could pay off the Xu family's debts.
But she never expected.
The seven - figure income was not due to her ability, but rather out of family kindness.
She felt extremely frustrated.
Standing under the shower, she was almost suffocated by the heavy debt.
So she thought self - destructively, forget it, just accept Qi Shifeng's help.
Even if he was just being impulsive and would demand payment in bed after the debt was paid off.
She would swallow her pride and accept it.
But when she really faced him, she felt an indescribable awkwardness.
She was just so cowardly.
She also knew very well that once she accepted his money, the balance between them would be completely broken.
She would never be able to hold her head up in front of him again.
However, no matter what, this was their own business and should not involve others.
She didn't say exactly what was on the paper, but the main idea was the same.
Qi Ye was silent for a moment on the phone before smiling and saying, "I've put you in a difficult position. I'm sorry."
This sentence was so gentle.
Qi Shifeng could even detect a hint of lingering affection.
His eyes darkened, and the hand that was loosely holding her waist suddenly tightened.
But to Xu Tingyu, this was just a polite remark.
She only regarded him as her elder brother, so of course she wouldn't have any amorous feelings and wouldn't think otherwise.
"It's okay. Thank you, big brother."
She originally wanted to say that she would invite him to dinner when he came back.
But thinking that Qi Shifeng didn't like her to have contact with the Qi family, she quickly shut up.
Qi Shifeng really didn't like it.
Seeing the two of them chatting "lovingly", he immediately snatched the phone from her hand.
He didn't hang up but just threw it aside.
The next second, Xu Tingyu felt dizzy. She had been pushed onto the bed.
The mattress was soft, but she was already sore all over. Her body involuntarily trembled violently, and she let out a low cry.
At the same time, Qi Ye's concerned and puzzled voice came from the phone, "Tingyu, are you okay?"
The next second, the phone was picked up and smashed.
The bedroom returned to silence.
Xu Tingyu didn't know why he was angry again.
It was he who wanted to make the call in the first place.
Now he had smashed her phone.
Even the most good - tempered person would be annoyed.
"What are you crazy about?"
She struggled, and her hands flailed randomly. She actually slapped him in the face again.
Both of them were stunned.
Especially Xu Tingyu.
No matter how angry she was, she knew that slapping this man twice in two days would surely lead to a terrible outcome.
Wasn't she tortured almost crazy last night?
Sure enough, the hand on her neck slowly tightened at the tiger's mouth.
His fingertips rubbed against her skin, feeling her pulse.
She didn't dare to move or look away. She could only watch as the area he was slapped on slowly turned red.
Their eyes met. She saw her own reflection in his dark pupils.
He didn't say a word and just stared at her.
Her heart felt like it was being tightly grasped.
There was a sense of tension as if it would be crushed at any moment, magnifying her uneasiness.
Her hands and feet were cold, sweating, her body was stiff, and her mind was racing.
Finally, she lowered her head, raised her eyebrows, and gently kissed his lips.
"I'm sorry. I really didn't know about the payment. Now I've made it clear to big brother, and it won't happen again."
"According to big brother's character, this won't be spread out to make you lose face."
Although she didn't know how Qi Shifeng found out about the payment, she could probably guess the reason for his anger.
The Qi brothers had never gotten along well.
Even Xie Shu could boldly say in front of everyone that the Qi family belonged to Qi Shifeng.
But now, his wife, Xu Tingyu, had taken Qi Ye's money.
If this got out, where would Qi Shifeng's face be?
She apologized in a humble manner.
But she didn't get forgiveness.
Qi Shifeng's eyes were as dark as an unfathomable abyss.
When she sweetly called "big brother", anger, coldness, and all kinds of emotions he couldn't even figure out intertwined like flames in the abyss.
A strange desire welled up from his blood.
He let go of her neck, and his fingertips slid down, rubbing against her collarbone. He easily tore off her bath towel.
"I've indulged you too much."
His voice was as cold as frost, but his hands were extremely skillful.
Xu Tingyu couldn't bear his overwhelming anger, let alone the teasing of his hands.
She tried to hide towards the head of the bed, but as soon as she moved back a little, she was pulled back.
"What are you hiding for?"
There was a layer of mist in her eyes, glistening with water.
When she cried, she had a special charm, a charm that made people willing to offer everything.
But just thinking that she might have cried so pitifully in front of Qi Ye.
Coaxing him to secretly help her right under his nose.
Just the thought made him almost crazy.
"After acting for three years, you can't act anymore?"
"Now you can't wait to push me away and climb into Qi Ye's bed, right?"
"Can that sickly man satisfy you?"
All his anger and jealousy had nowhere to vent, so they turned into the most sharp and hurtful words.
Like sharp swords, they all shot towards Xu Tingyu.
Qi Shifeng in this state was a bit scary.
Xu Tingyu knew that she should be more obedient, beg for mercy, and apologize, not to further anger him.
But she still couldn't get rid of her resistance.
Although this resistance was useless, her hands had already been bound above her head.
The kick she gave was also weak, like a kind of fun.
"Qi Shifeng, you bastard."
She cried even more.
But due to the education she had received since childhood, she could only curse this one sentence over and over again.
Qi Shifeng laughed out of anger. He lowered his head and rained kisses on her.
Starting from her ear, along her neck, all the way down.
New marks were added on the still - lingering ambiguous traces. It was a bit itchy and a bit painful.
All the blood rushed to her head, and her ears quickly turned red.
Xu Tingyu couldn't tell what that feeling was. She just felt that her whole body was weak and she had no strength at all.
She could only cry louder to resist the surging pleasure he brought her.
She didn't know how charming she looked with her flushed face and a pool of spring water in her eyes.
She was like a tempting cherry hanging on the branch, swaying in the wind, tempting people to pick and taste.
Qi Shifeng squinted at her for a few seconds.
His anger grew even stronger.
This ungrateful woman would rather curse him and bite her lower lip until it bled.
Than promise that she would never have contact with Qi Ye again.
Even if it was a lie?
Wasn't she the best at lying?
Now she didn't even have the patience for him?
Qi Shifeng frowned, pinched her chin, and saved her red lips.
"Xu Tingyu, write me a guarantee, and I'll forgive you."
