Xu Tingyu was a bit grumpy when she just woke up.
Being fished out of the quilt in the middle of the night would make anyone in a bad mood.
She said these two sentences without thinking at all. She was just venting her emotions out of sheer impulse.
Anyway, their marriage was on the verge of collapse, so she just didn't care anymore.
But a statement like "going out to sleep with someone else" was like lighting a cigarette beside a powder keg to Qi Shifeng.
He reached out and pinched her chin, his voice extremely cold. "So, who have you slept with?"
Her chin was pinched so hard that it hurt, and she woke up completely.
The man in front of her held control over every aspect of her life.
Even if the old man promised to pay off her debts, as long as he didn't give the nod, she couldn't get a divorce.
He was right in saying that it was better to flatter him than others.
A man like him, even if he didn't love her, would never allow his spouse to be unfaithful.
"I was just making an assumption, Qi Shifeng. I'm just worried about you," she said suddenly, calmly. She even glanced at the bulging part of his body.
"If you do your 'homework' twice, be careful not to overdo it and end up... dead," she said, retracting her gaze, with a tone of indescribable sarcasm.
This man really had good stamina. When they first got married, he wasn't very enthusiastic about this.
But after she took the initiative once, it was like opening a new door for him.
Qi Shifeng was really angry.
This woman didn't even leave a light on for him and still wrongly accused him of being promiscuous?
As the person in power of the Qi Group, he would never allow himself to be slandered for no reason.
He lowered his eyes, his face cold as he dug her out of the quilt again.
His voice was deep. "You have to check for yourself whether I've been unfaithful before you can draw a conclusion."
Xu Tingyu was forced into his arms. Her waist was grabbed so tightly that it hurt, so she started speaking without restraint.
"I don't need to check. I saw her grabbing your sleeve with my own eyes. Do I have to see you two in bed with my own eyes?"
"You guys aren't ashamed, but I'm afraid of getting sty in my eyes!"
The angrier Qi Shifeng got, the darker his face became. Unable to bear it any longer, he covered her mouth. "Shut up."
He really wanted to strangle her. Otherwise, he would be angered to death by her one day.
She couldn't speak and only felt the thick, seemingly unbreakable hostility around him.
At that moment, many rumors came to her mind.
Some said he was cold - hearted and cold - faced, not caring about people's feelings or lives.
Others said he was ruthless. Offending him was no different from being dead.
...
Now, had he been exposed by her, so he was furious and going to kill her to silence her?
Fear and panic turned into tears that slid down from the corners of her eyes one after another.
When Qi Shifeng saw her crying, he got even more irritated, but the hand covering her mouth still loosened a bit.
Then he exerted force with the hand on her waist, easily picked her up, and strode towards the bathroom.
Xu Tingyu cried and struggled all the way.
When she was thrown into the bathtub, she could hardly catch her breath.
Qi Shifeng didn't say a word. He just started taking off his clothes in front of her.
After he took them all off, he looked down at her haughtily. "Come and check. Otherwise, I'll sue you for slander."
Huh?
Xu Tingyu was full of questions and even forgot to cry. She just stared blankly at him.
The tip of her nose and the corners of her eyes were pink. Soon, this pink spread, and her whole body turned red.
She looked so cute that one couldn't help but want to tease her.
Qi Shifeng was already aroused, but he still looked calm and noble. He walked to the bathtub, set the temperature, and started filling it with water.
Then he sat on the edge of the bathtub and pulled her hand.
His expression was serious, and his tone was seductive.
"I'm giving you a chance. Check."
How could she check?
Xu Tingyu didn't dare to look at him at all. She didn't dare to say a single word. She curled up her body slightly, and her fingertips were trembling.
Qi Shifeng didn't urge her. He just held her hand and waited quietly.
In the empty bathroom, there was only the sound of running water.
Soon, the bathtub was half - filled with water, and Xu Tingyu's nightgown was soaked and clung to her body.
She curled up her body more tightly, and her face became even redder.
Qi Shifeng knew that if he continued to wait, even if the bathroom was flooded, he wouldn't wait for her to speak voluntarily.
So he also got into the bathtub, picked her up, and placed her on his lap.
"Do I have any traces of other women on me?" he asked her slowly, looking noble and calm. It was hard to tell if he was still angry.
Xu Tingyu's blood was boiling. A few strands of messy hair were scattered on both sides of her cheeks, covering half of her face.
But she still felt it wasn't enough. She wished she could hide her whole face.
But Qi Shifeng didn't allow her to escape. When she didn't say a word, he pinched her waist and placed her on his abs, rubbing her slowly.
Xu Tingyu really regretted it.
Why did she have to say those words to break the ice?
But she was also very surprised. She didn't expect Qi Shifeng and Xie Yu to have a pure - love relationship.
After so long, they hadn't slept together. Was it that woman Xie Yu who did it on purpose when they took a bath outside before?
She didn't dare to think deeply and couldn't figure it out.
Maybe he just didn't sleep with Xie Yu now to protect her.
After all, having an affair during marriage was different from rekindling their relationship after divorce.
The more he loved her, the less he was willing to torture her. So he just tortured her instead?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, but she didn't dare to ask. Instead, she had to soften her attitude and apologize.
"I'm sorry. I was wrong. You haven't. You're clean and self - disciplined."
This didn't sound like an apology at all. It was clearly a provocation.
Hearing this, Qi Shifeng's complexion, which had just improved, turned cold again.
Only this woman could anger him so easily.
Xu Tingyu didn't think she was provoking him. She was just being perfunctory.
After all, anyone would want to kill someone if they were thrown into a bathtub in the middle of the night.
Her current attitude was already the result of much restraint.
"You can take your time to take a bath. I'm going to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow..."
As she said this, she tried to get up from him.
It was already one o'clock. If she let him mess around, she didn't know when she could go to sleep.
Was he unwilling to torture Xie Yu but willing to sacrifice her sleep?
But she didn't succeed in standing up. Instead, he held her waist and kissed her.
Did she think she could get away unscathed after angering him?
Of course, even if she didn't anger him, she couldn't leave either.
Her body was soft, fragrant, and warm. Just one look was enough to arouse all his desires.
Xu Tingyu refused to open her teeth. He wasn't in a hurry. He just kissed her lips until they were red and swollen.
She remembered that she had to meet someone tomorrow, so she had to give in.
She didn't know how long they kissed. When Xu Tingyu didn't notice his next move, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm a bit cold. I'll catch a cold if this goes on. Can you let me go?"
She looked up at him, with a pitiful expression.
In fact, she could warm up as long as she got into his arms.
But although she seemed soft, she was actually very stubborn.
Even though she stopped struggling, the sense of resistance was still very obvious.
Qi Shifeng's eyes darkened again and again. Finally, he let her go.
