Qi Shifeng was notoriously difficult to deal with and extremely calculating in the capital city.
Xu Tingyu had long known that she was being monitored.
She needed to safely give birth to the baby in her belly and also keep herself alive.
So she never let her guard down and had always played her part well.
Now was not really a good time to bring this up.
But she didn't regret it. She just stared straight at him, letting him scrutinize her.
Qi Shifeng stared at her for a while, but didn't find any trace of her lingering affection for Qi Ye.
But he didn't give up. Soon he asked her, "Since you knew my men were watching you, why were you so intimate with him? Who allowed you to let him touch your belly?"
This was what really enraged him.
Interacting with his son through her belly was his privilege as a father.
How could she just allow another man to touch her like that?
And it was a man who had designs on her in the first place.
Xu Tingyu's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, the bodyguards' reports were really detailed.
The slight change in her expression only lasted for a moment, but it made the temperature fade from the man's face in front of her.
He didn't seem to want to hear her excuses either. He suddenly lowered his head and bit her red lips.
It was a bit ferocious. It wasn't a kiss; it was more like he wanted to devour her.
Xu Tingyu sensed his raging anger and tried to dodge, but she couldn't.
He kissed her hard for a long time before finally letting her go. His eyes were still full of hostility.
"Xu Tingyu, I've told you to stay away from the Qi family."
"Last time, you left with the old man's people on your own and planned to have our son aborted."
"This time, you met Qi Ye and didn't avoid suspicion immediately. Instead, you were so intimate with him."
"You really never learn your lesson."
He stared at her, his hand constantly on her face. Even when scolding her like this, his fingertips kept caressing her face.
The raging anger almost set Xu Tingyu on fire through his fingertips.
She couldn't do anything, so she just stared at him absent - mindedly, even forgetting to defend herself for a moment.
In her gaze, Qi Shifeng suddenly stood up, took off his suit, and undid the buttons of his shirt.
"I heard that in the later stages of pregnancy, pregnant women will have more needs under the influence of hormones."
"So, are you complaining that I've been neglecting you recently?"
His tone was sarcastic, but his actions were swift.
In an instant, all the buttons of his shirt were undone.
The light fell on his exposed chest and abdominal muscles, showing a deep muscular structure.
His breathing was a bit rapid, making his muscles tense. A wild masculinity hit her face, full of aggression.
To be fair, Xu Tingyu really liked his appearance.
Among a group of powerful people.
A person like him, who was outstanding in terms of power, wealth, looks, figure, ability, and education, was one in a million.
So that was why Xu Tingyu had fallen in love with him at first sight.
Even after he got married, there were many women in the circle who were crazy about him.
But now, since she had the intention to leave, she couldn't stand his touch at all.
So she quickly shrank to the head of the bed. "The doctor said the baby is unstable and sex is not allowed."
Her whole body was full of resistance. She didn't even look at his abs, which she used to like the most.
Qi Shifeng's hand paused for a moment while undoing his belt, but he soon leaned over and dragged her to his side.
"We don't have to go all the way, but you've really annoyed me today."
"As punishment, you have to cheer me up."
He looked down at her, his eyes a bit irritated.
Xu Tingyu also looked up at him.
She felt relieved because he had taken a step back, and her resistance was not as obvious.
Now she was looking up at him with a small face. The corners of her eyes were a bit red from crying.
Her lips were red and shiny from his kiss just now.
Her thick black hair was scattered behind her, contrasting sharply with her fair skin.
She was like a peach blossom on a branch in a spring garden.
Innocent yet charming.
Any man, no matter how hard - hearted, would soften a bit when seeing her.
But Qi Shifeng was unmoved.
He had seen too much of her pretending to be obedient one moment and then turning cold - faced the next.
She didn't have a heart at all.
Xu Tingyu didn't dare to really anger him. After being dragged to his side, she didn't say a word.
Qi Shifeng waited for a while but didn't get a response from her. Losing his patience, he leaned over and bit her lips again, spitting out two words angrily, "Answer."
"How... how can I cheer you up?"
Xu Tingyu finally gave up all resistance.
If she was doomed to be in his hands, she might as well face the reality earlier.
Qi Shifeng, with his shirt wide open, looked down at her. "Don't know? Aren't you good at cheering people up?"
Good at cheering people up?
Xu Tingyu felt really wronged in her heart.
It wasn't arrogance. Before she got married, it was always others who cheered her up. It was never her turn to cheer others.
Even after marriage, she never cheered anyone up.
After all, for a high - and - mighty person like Qi Shifeng, if she dared to cheer him up, she might have her waist broken.
Seeing that she looked like she didn't know what to do, Qi Shifeng wasn't in a hurry. He just kept looking at her calmly.
Finally, Xu Tingyu plucked up her courage and said, "Okay, I'll think about how to cheer you up."
She had never cheered anyone up before, and now she had no other choice. So she knelt up on the bed, put her hands on his shoulders.
Seeing that he didn't resist, she tentatively put her arms around his neck, then lowered her head and kissed his lips.
"I'm sorry. I was wrong. I apologize."
She didn't know what she was wrong about, and she wasn't really sincere in cheering him up.
But she knew when to show weakness. However, her apology was very vague.
One couldn't see any sincerity in it.
At this moment, she was meek. After the kiss, she reached for his hand and slowly held it.
"Anyway, you've returned those things. From now on, without your permission, I won't see big brother again. Is that okay?"
She didn't dare to further anger him, so the insincere words just came out of her mouth.
How ridiculous. Under his continuous coercion and "training", she had become a person who could tell lies at will.
Qi Shifeng held her hand back and gently stroked the back of her hand. With his other hand, he pushed aside her hair to reveal her whole face.
She was very beautiful. There was a glimmer of tears in her eyes, making them look moist. Set off by the redness at the corners of her eyes, she was like a pearl from the East Sea, tempting people to possess her.
However, the unyielding and unwillingness in her eyes were not well - hidden, which was annoying.
"Don't be angry, Qi Shifeng. I really won't see him again, but you should also be as generous as me."
She pressed her face against his neck. Because of her belly, the posture was a bit awkward.
The man tightened his grip on her hand a bit.
As if unaware, she continued to smile and said, "You're almost official with Xie Yu in front of the whole world. Have I said anything about you?"
