Ye Moxuan’s actions were merciless, and when he finally calmed down, he felt something off about the situation; the person in his arms was too quiet, unlike the one who tried her hardest to push him away earlier.
He looked down, and his deep gaze met hers.
Unlike what he had imagined, there was no anger or regret in her eyes. Instead, she looked very calm, like a totally still lake.
What happened? How could she possibly not react at all when I’m so harsh to her?
The next second, Shen Qi batted her eyelids and stared at him. “Ye Moxuan, are you jealous?”
Ye Moxuan was speechless.
Shen Qi batted her eyes a few times more and stared straight into his deep gaze in an attempt to read his emotions.
“Are you?” Seeing that he remained silent, Shen Qi asked one more time.
Ye Moxuan was once again speechless. The veins on his forehead protruded because he was extremely displeased. It was the first time he was driven crazy by a woman, and after a long stretch of revenge, she asked him calmly whether he was jealous of another man.
Seeing that he was speechless, Shen Qi lowered her gaze and looked at her suit that was now torn apart. Then, she spoke in a soft manner. “Why did you tear my clothes apart if you weren’t jealous?”
Now, Shen Qi was covered only in her undergarments, and Ye Moxuan’s suit was the only barrier between their bodies.
Ye Moxuan stared deep into her gaze, and after a while, he sneered, “Miss Second-marriage, what makes you think that I tore your clothes out of jealousy?”
Shen Qi remained calm. “Why were you angry if you weren’t jealous?”
Her crystal clear eyes stared deep into his heart in an attempt to figure out his true feelings. Curiosity was written all over her face, yet it carried a hint of expectation too.
Expectation? This woman…
“What the hell are you thinking? Do you think that I’d like someone like you?”
Shen Qi was stunned.
“You’re basically a second-hand woman; you were abandoned by your former husband, and you flirted around while pregnant. Do you think that I’d ever fall for someone like you?”
Shen Qi’s face turned pale. She then bit her lips and tried to explain, “I didn’t flirt around. I didn’t touch Linhan on purpose. I fainted, so—”
“So you’re trying to explain how you acted in front of my brother? Shen Qi, are you trying to pretend to be pitiful? This won’t work on me.”
Ye Moxuan pinched her chin and grinned evilly. “If you’re willing to please me with your body, then maybe I’ll consider whether or not to believe what you said earlier.”
As a matter of fact, Shen Qi could tolerate his temper or anger.
However, when he talked to her in such a terrible and frivolous manner, coupled with that vile gaze, Shen Qi felt that he was intentionally trying to humiliate her.
And this kind of humiliation was precisely what she couldn’t tolerate.
She bit her lower lip and stared at him in anger. “No way!”
He pinched harder on her chin, and his evil grin widened. “Why? What were your expectations? Miss Second-marriage, you’ve fallen for me, haven’t you?”
Shen Qi was disconcerted by his words.
How could she possibly fall for someone as evil and mischievous as Ye Moxuan? She must be out of her mind if she had really fallen for him.
“You’re the one who has fallen for me, yet you’re denying it and asking if I have fallen for you instead?”
When it dawned on him that Shen Qi might have fallen for him, Ye Moxuan’s grin grew wider. A sense of happiness then flashed in his deep gaze, without him noticing any of these.
Shen Qi felt dispirited when she heard what he said, and her crystal clear eyes filled with a sense of pain.
How could she possibly be stupid enough to ask him this kind of question? She must be an idiot to ask him whether he had fallen for her, or that he was jealous of another man. It was all her wishful thinking.
Even though she didn’t understand what was going on in the villa the day before, her intuition told her that Ye Moxuan was looking for someone, and that person must be significant.
And what did it have to do with her?
After giving it some thought, Shen Qi bit her lower lip and raised her head, her eyes now filled with fury.
“I didn’t fall for you!” She uttered those words clearly and soundly, then stared deep into his gaze and added, “You’re right. I have been married twice; I was abandoned by my ex, and I’m pregnant with a child. No one will ever like someone like me. I didn’t flatter myself that you liked me. I also want to point out: don’t flatter yourself that I like you as well. Did you think that I’d fall for you just because I married you? You’re just a bad-tempered brat with a horrible personality. You don’t respect women, or to be precise, you don’t respect anyone at all. What makes you think I’ll fall for someone like you?”
In the end, Shen Qi almost shouted.
Ye Moxuan’s already long face became even more displeased after hearing her criticism. He then pinched harder on her chin, and it was as though he was trying to crush it.
“I dare you to repeat it!”
Shen Qi raised her chin and stared at him defiantly. “Alright, then. I’ll say it ten more times if you really want to hear it. You’re just a bad-tempered brat with a horrible personality. I’ll never fall for—mmph!”
Before she could finish her sentence, kisses from Ye Moxuan landed on her like a wave of storm. He sucked on her lips while his warm hands rubbed her back. His hands were so coarse that Shen Qi couldn’t help but tremble.
Shen Qi felt as though she was a small sailboat floating on the big ocean; a wave coming at her could make her shake back and forth, making her lose her center of gravity.
But even though waves were dangerous, without it, a sailboat cannot move forward.
Shen Qi was reluctant at first, but as time went by, she had fallen entirely into the kiss. When she closed her eyes, suddenly, Ye Moxuan picked up a suit from the side and covered her head with it.
Before she could even react, all she saw was complete darkness. Then, Ye Moxuan placed his hand on the back of her head and pressed her against his chest.
At the same time, Ye Moxuan snarled, “Get lost!”
He said the word in such a powerful way that Shen Qi could feel the vibration from his chest.
“S-Sorry.”
A few men stammered as they apologized. Shen Qi turned pale at once upon realizing that a few men saw what happened earlier, thereafter she heard the men leaving anxiously.
Did the men see how lost and engaged she was in the kiss?
Shen Qi turned pale at the thought of it, and her petite body was shaking uncontrollably in his arms.
Ye Moxuan could feel her trembling, thereupon he frowned and took away the suit, looking at the petite head on his chest.
After a short moment, he whipped out his phone and called Xiao Su. “Bring some clothes over.”
Is he asking someone to bring clothes over? Then, won’t the person see me in my current state? Shen Qi’s face turned red at the thought of it.
Even though she was really mad at Ye Moxuan now, she couldn’t do anything but lie on his chest. After all, she was only in her undergarments; Ye Moxuan would see her naked body if she got up now.
After 15 minutes, Xiao Su brought over some clothes.
“Put them at the doorway and close the door.”
