Chapter 817: What Are You Trying to Hide?
After saying that, he reached out to grab Gu Qibao’s hand, eager to show and to explain urgently.
It was evident that he was really a bit anxious.
However, Gu Qibao recoiled as if shocked by electricity, hastily pulling her hand away as if she was scared of his touch.
Her sudden defensiveness sent a sharp jolt through Di Mingjue’s heart, as if someone had punched him softly, making him feel uncomfortable.
"Qibao, listen to me, I really didn’t mean to doubt you. We’re husband and wife, can’t I ask you for your phone’s password?"
"But you never asked before. Why do you suddenly want to ask now? What do you hope to find in my phone?" Gu Qibao looked at him, trying to discern some sort of answer from his face.
Anyway, her intuition told her that Di Mingjue doubted her and wanted to pry into her affairs.
This response from her made Di Mingjue feel even worse, as if something made his nose itch for no reason. He hadn’t expected that simply asking for her phone password would elicit such a fierce reaction.
He had always thought they could share everything with each other, but it seemed he was too naïve.
The two of them were still different individuals after all, and oftentimes, their understandings and consciousness could never truly sync up.
In an instant, his strikingly handsome face turned cold, and an intimidating chill that was inherently his spread from him.
Gu Qibao was taken aback and couldn’t help but shiver.
How long had it been since she had seen this side of him?
It was just like the very first him she knew—cold, terrifying, and even heartless.
A cold feeling surged from within her, inexplicably causing a sour sensation in her nose.
He was being harsh to her; he was actually treating her harshly!
Although he didn’t speak, the murderous expression on his face was directed at her, making her feel even worse than if he had scolded her!
Why had her Di Mingjue become like this?
Gu Qibao furrowed her brows and pulled a long face, then began to walk away, unable to suppress the anger welling up within her.
The moment she took a step, Di Mingjue grabbed her hand with some force and seemingly with suppressed rage.
Gu Qibao turned, slightly narrowing her eyes as the anger in her heart surged further, wanting to vent and scream at him with all her might.
But in the end, she didn’t. She struggled fiercely to contain it, remaining silent, just looking at him.
But the anger and resentment in her eyes couldn’t be hidden, even accompanied by disgust. She frowned, called out in a bad temper, "Let go of me!"
And she struggled as if she disliked his touch.
Seeing her like this, Di Mingjue didn’t let go. His brows furrowed tightly, his throat turned hoarse instantly, and his voice was cold and expressionless, "Is there something in your phone that I can’t see?"
Hearing this question, Gu Qibao couldn’t suppress her fury any longer and roared at him, "There’s a lot you can’t see, why should I show you!"
"Are you telling the truth?" Di Mingjue stared into her eyes, his pupils dark and intimidating, unintentionally increasing his grip.
"I was just asking for the password to your phone. Why are you throwing such a big tantrum? Gu Xiaoqi, are you deliberately picking a fight? Or do you have something to hide?"
"I have nothing to hide from you, my ass!" Gu Qibao struggled furiously, "If you want to check my phone for no reason, it clearly means you don’t trust me, you doubt me. And then you accuse me of picking a fight, Di Mingjue, don’t think just because you’re smarter than me you can push me around!"
