Xu Tingyu's back of the hand was against his palm, and her palm was against his chest, right over his heart.
It seemed as if she could truly feel the vigorous heartbeat beneath his well - defined muscles.
One had to admit that this man was truly good at bewitching people.
For a moment, she even wanted to give him a hug.
But reason held her back.
She withdrew her hand and calmly told Qi Shifeng, "If you're feeling bad, just stop thinking about it. Qi Shifeng, you're a father now. Why are you always acting like a spoiled child?"
She had thought that after saying this, the man would fly into a rage.
After all, even the drunk Qi Shifeng was not someone that others could criticize at will.
But unexpectedly, the man didn't get angry at all. Instead, he retorted justifiably, "Is that not okay?"
Is that not okay?
"Of course not. If you always act like a spoiled child, it will give our son the wrong idea. He might grow up without any masculinity. If he gets bullied, he won't even dare to fight back on the spot."
Xu Tingyu got angry just thinking about it.
These father - and - son duo, how could they go to a birthday party and come back injured?
Although it was because of her that Youyou didn't tell the adults the truth at first.
But before that, when Zhaozhao treated him like that, he should have fought back on the spot.
Otherwise, overly kind and gentle - natured children would really get bullied.
They couldn't guarantee that everyone Youyou met in the future would be kind and friendly.
Some people were just good at pushing their luck.
Qi Shifeng was scolded and was stunned for a moment. His blurred eyes were even more confused.
"What masculinity? Who has masculinity? Don't I have it?"
The confusion soon turned into tears that were about to fall but didn't.
"Do you really like someone else? Is Chen Yan more masculine than me? Does he like you more than me? Is he better than me?"
What on earth was he talking about?
She hadn't even mentioned Chen Yan at all.
And why did he always bring up Chen Yan?
"Qi Shifeng, stop being so quarrelsome with me. Stop talking nonsense."
"I only ask you, can you invite those two children from the Qian family to apologize to our son?"
If someone bullied her, she might let it go.
But if someone bullied her son, she couldn't.
Now she finally understood what it meant to be protective of one's own child.
Moreover, Youyou was innocent in the first place.
The victim deserved an apology.
Qi Shifeng seemed even more confused. "You say I'm quarrelsome? You really don't love me."
The tears that were about to fall finally dropped, giving him a somewhat heart - rending sense of fragility that made one feel pity for him.
Even Xu Tingyu, who was still fired up about getting justice for her son, couldn't help but soften for a moment.
"Hey, you used to be able to communicate normally when you were drunk. Why are you regressing?"
Xu Tingyu was really headache - stricken.
This man couldn't hear anything else.
No, his brain couldn't process other problems. He could only catch the parts where she said something bad about him.
He was really a narrow - minded man.
Qi Shifeng didn't say a word. He just quietly looked at her and shed tears silently.
Who could resist a top - tier handsome man crying so aggrievedly at them?
Xu Tingyu was no exception.
In the end, she swallowed back all her words and helped him back to the master bedroom.
"Go take a shower first. If you feel nauseous or uncomfortable, just vomit. I'll go find you some hangover medicine."
This time he was really drunk. A glass of honey water alone wouldn't solve the problem.
And the things she wanted to talk about today were doomed to be left unsaid.
All she wanted now was to get this man to sleep so that she could go back and rest earlier.
But unexpectedly, Qi Shifeng still held her hand tightly and refused to let go.
He even made a request, "You accompany me while I take a shower."
Xu Tingyu was shocked and launched a tirade at him.
"What are you thinking? Is your head full of nonsense? How could I accompany you while you take a shower? If you don't let go of me, I'll shout for help."
But Qi Shifeng didn't listen to what she was saying at all. Instead, he held her hand with one hand and moved a stool from in front of the dressing mirror to the door with the other.
"You just sit here and accompany me."
Xu Tingyu stared blankly at the stool that used to be hers, then looked at the man with a blurred look in his eyes, water droplets still hanging on his eyelashes, but a serious expression on his face.
For a moment, she felt ashamed and speechless.
It turned out that the one with nonsense in her head was herself.
It must be because she had been on too many business trips and the schedule was too tight, which made her thinking a bit abnormal.
"Got it, got it. You go take a shower first. I'll just sit here and won't go anywhere."
She was eager to calm the man down, so she didn't even look at him and just nodded randomly.
As a result, she missed the fleeting mischievous smile on the man's lips.
When Qi Shifeng entered the bathroom, Xu Tingyu really sat obediently at the door.
But as soon as she heard the sound of water inside, she immediately got up and was about to go downstairs.
Are you kidding me? She wasn't a doorkeeper. How could she just sit there obediently?
Just as she stood up, the bathroom door opened again.
The man's shirt buttons were all undone, but the shirt wasn't completely taken off. His strong and well - defined muscles were faintly visible.
He leaned against the door frame and asked her, "Wife, where are you going?"
"I just stood up for a while. I'm not going anywhere."
The person who was caught on the spot was a bit embarrassed. She even forgot to correct his address and immediately told a lie.
She regretted it a bit after telling the lie.
She didn't owe him anything. Why did she have to lie?
Couldn't she just leave if she wanted to?
Well, she really couldn't.
Because she believed that if she said she wanted to leave, this man would just keep pestering her and follow her back to the hotel.
She didn't really care, but she was mainly afraid that he would get carried away and do something irrational. If it was captured by someone, it might affect Youyou.
After all, a drunk person's mind wasn't clear.
"You're not being good, so I'll keep the door open and watch you."
Qi Shifeng got closer to her, his tone low and ambiguous.
For a moment, Xu Tingyu suspected that he wasn't drunk at all.
But when she looked up, she met his blurred eyes.
This was clearly the look of someone who was really drunk.
She was silent for a moment. Seeing the man's determination and looking at the time, she had no choice but to nod. "Got it. Hurry up and go in."
It wasn't like she hadn't seen him before. What was there to be afraid of?
She sat back on the stool and watched the man walk in.
He walked backwards into the bathroom while looking at Xu Tingyu. As he walked, he took off his clothes.
If it wasn't this particular person, Xu Tingyu would definitely think that this was a very charming scene.
After all, the man had eight - pack abs, a tall and graceful figure. Every part of him was exactly to her taste. For her, he was like a custom - made man.
And if she didn't know that the man was drunk, she would definitely think that his lingering gaze and subtle facial expressions were all meant to seduce her.
Using such a scene to "test" her was really despicable.
She snorted softly and turned her head away, not looking inside anymore.
After all, he just said he wanted to watch her. He didn't say she had to watch him.
