Xu Tingyu wasn't sure if she was feeling comfort or pain. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
Qi Shifeng wasn't going to let her off easily. Before she knew it, his hand had slipped under the covers. His well - defined fingers traced along her slender waistline.
His deep voice held a hint of a smile as he deliberately reminded her, "Tingyu, your body is asking for me."
This time, it seemed he was afraid of getting a negative answer, so he didn't ask her what she thought like he did last time.
His lips left hers and closed around her burning earlobe.
"Admitting that you have desires and admitting that you have feelings for me isn't something shameful."
It was like the whisper of a devil, luring one into the abyss.
Xu Tingyu suddenly came to her senses and subconsciously retorted, "I don't. Don't be so self - indulgent."
But the man didn't care about her denial at all. He didn't even stop his actions. He just looked at her with a smile.
"Whether you do or not, your heart knows, and I can feel it too."
His palm landed on the spot over her heart and gently tapped twice.
"You don't have to rush to deny it. Before you decide whether you want to get back together with me or not, I can wait for you, and I don't mind if you treat me as a tool."
He coaxed her patiently, yet there was a faint sense of oppression.
At first, Xu Tingyu didn't say anything. Instead, she was thinking about what he meant by "tool".
Was he going to give all his resources to her?
Was he not afraid that she would find out the truth?
Was he too confident, or were those things really nothing to do with him?
Her distraction made the man a bit unhappy. He bit her lip, which made Xu Tingyu tremble. Subconsciously, she scolded him, "Are you a dog?"
Why did he like to bite her so much?
The man's lips left hers, and his fingertips took their place, rubbing against her red lips with the lines on them, making her lips hot and itchy.
"If you like little wolf dogs or little milk dogs, I don't mind being a dog."
The man looked at her with passion and ambiguity. She couldn't bear such passion and turned her eyes away.
"Are you really Qi Shifeng? Are you sure you haven't been possessed?"
Her face was burning hot, and it felt like there was a fire under the covers.
The man gently tucked the stray strands of her hair behind her ear and kissed her earlobe, "Then look at me."
See if he was Qi Shifeng.
As if bewitched, her gaze involuntarily turned back and landed in a pair of deep, black eyes.
He smiled slightly at her, and his fingers traced along the hem of her pajamas.
"Do you want me?"
He looked at her, full of affection, luring her into the trap of lust.
Xu Tingyu felt as if a firework had exploded in her ear.
What was he saying?
These were such bold words!
In the past, in bed, he rarely talked. He loved to torture her until she begged for mercy.
What was wrong with him now? Where did he learn these words?
She averted her gaze, and her words lacked any force, "No, I don't want you."
Was he using the beauty trap on her?
Was she such a person without self - control?
Qi Shifeng suddenly looked up. The smile faded, and he stared at her motionlessly. His voice turned cold bit by bit, "If you don't want me, who do you want?"
If she were calm on a normal day, Xu Tingyu would definitely retort that she didn't want anyone. She could live without a man.
But now, she had lost most of her rationality. She was just holding on with gritted teeth. The words to refute him came from her remaining rationality.
"Who I want is none of your business. As long as it's not you."
They were already in a state where her pajamas were half - lifted and his shirt buttons were all undone. Saying such words was actually like adding fuel to the fire.
Rational Xu Tingyu wouldn't say such things.
But she just didn't have much rationality now.
No man could stand such words.
Qi Shifeng had good self - control. He half - closed his eyes and even curved his lips.
"Has no one ever told you that there are some things you should say and some you shouldn't, especially in bed?"
Under the curved lips, there was a hidden undercurrent.
It was like dark clouds were gathering, and a storm was about to come.
Xu Tingyu thought something was wrong and immediately wanted to turn over and run away.
But she forgot that she couldn't escape when he was being nice.
Now that he was filled with gloomy anger, how could he let her have her way?
"You're my wife. If you don't know these things, it's also my fault. So let me teach you how to answer."
Xu Tingyu was pinned under him again.
This time, the covers had been completely thrown onto the carpet.
She was unwilling to give in. She twisted and kicked, and her hands flailed about randomly. Her fingertips occasionally slid across his prominent Adam's apple and his well - defined abs.
This made Qi Shifeng's breathing become heavier. He let out a low groan, the end of the sound filled with a gasp, tinged with lust. It was incredibly sexy.
He didn't stop her actions. He just let her make a mess.
His actions, however, were methodical. He slowly pushed up her pajamas, like a devout believer, bending down to kiss her.
Xu Tingyu was still refuting, "Who says I'm your wife..."
The next second, her waist was grabbed, and she was dragged into the swamp.
For a moment, Xu Tingyu didn't know if she was crazy, or if Qi Shifeng was crazy.
Or maybe, they were both crazy.
No no no, it was still she who was crazier.
She clearly hated him so much, but as he said, she wanted him.
Under his teasing, her body could even feel pleasure.
It was very strange. She had met so many high - quality men, but basically, she never had other thoughts.
Colleagues were just colleagues, and friends were just friends. She never thought of overstepping the line.
But the man in front of her was different.
After so many years, even though her heart ached to the point of dying and no matter how unwilling she was to admit it, she couldn't deceive herself into saying that she had no feelings for him.
Even though she strongly denied it with her mouth and constantly warned herself.
But just as he said, her heart knew.
Noticing her distraction, Qi Shifeng unhappily pinched her chin and forced her to look at him, "What are you thinking about?"
Xu Tingyu came back to her senses and said the opposite of what she really felt, "Stop right now, Qi Shifeng. You're a crazy man with nothing but dirty thoughts in your head."
The louder she shouted, the more excitedly the man laughed.
"Don't you know me? Can this just stop whenever I want? Or is it that I'm not satisfying you enough?"
His hand had led hers to his belt buckle. Just waiting for the moment when the sword was unsheathed, he was sure to make her fall apart.
Xu Tingyu's heart skipped a few beats. She continued to bluff, "If you touch me, I'll definitely sue you. There are reporters downstairs. Don't think I won't dare!"
She said it too urgently. Coupled with the involuntary tremor of her body, this words didn't sound angry but pitiful.
It seemed that she would cry the next second.
He didn't listen to so many threatening words just now, but now that he heard that she was really about to cry, he stopped.
"Don't cry. I'm not bullying you. I just miss you so much."
"If you don't like it, then we'll do it next time. Next time."
The man who said just now that this kind of thing couldn't just stop was also saying the opposite of what he really felt.
