Chapter 710: Chapter 707: A Small Disagreement Between Husband and Wife (9)
"I’m a bit thirsty right now, I don’t want to talk."
She glanced at the shattered glass on the floor by the door; it was his fault when he was too rough dragging her in, causing her to lose grip on that bottle of whiskey that had only two sips taken from it, and let it smash to pieces on the ground.
Following her gaze, Shi Yu’s cold eyes softened a bit as he took out his phone and called the person in charge at ’Wu Se’, instructing them to send over a bottle of low-proof fruit wine.
After finishing the call, he casually tossed his phone on the couch, then embraced Shen Cheng’s waist even tighter.
He looked down at her: "Are you angry with me?"
[Perhaps many years later, he would realize that he had already been completely smitten with her from the very first meeting, crazily so. Ever since then, he wanted to pamper that woman like a daughter, for a lifetime, forever. —Xi Yan]
His hot breath caressed her face, carrying a moist sensation, teasing one’s heart like a feather, irresistibly enthralling.
Shen Cheng had no desire to indulge in his scent, slightly annoyed by the alcohol fumes coming from him: "I’m too happy to be angry."
"About this morning." he said.
"I forgot about it." she answered.
"It won’t happen again."
"What won’t happen again?"
"Teasing you."
"As you wish."
Suddenly, Shi Yu cradled her face, his expression more serious than ever: "You made me think of you all day."
Heaven knows, he spent the entire day in the office, dismissing all his work, just because of her.
Shen Cheng gave a nonchalant ’oh’, as if it didn’t matter: "I didn’t force you to think of me."
"You did."
"..."
"I owed you in my last life."
"..."
"This life, I’m repaying the debt."
"..."
"Every day, I’m going mad thinking of you."
"..."
Shen Cheng knew that every word he said to her, every single letter, was true.
Even if he lied to the whole world, he would never deceive her.
This man, he loves her to the marrow of his bones.
She knew it, she knew all of this.
How could she remain unmoved when she heard his words? Even with her strong resilience, she would be overwhelmed by his tenderness, because she was just a woman.
Suddenly, Shi Yu pulled her tightly into his embrace, burying his face in the nape of her neck.
"I’m sorry, I was wrong."
His voice was deep and hoarse, painful to hear.
Shen Cheng’s eyes reddened slightly, she sniffled, forcibly holding back tears that were about to fall.
"Don’t be so sentimental."
She pushed him with her hands, but he held her even tighter.
"Wife..." His breath heavy with the scent of alcohol, he kept calling out in her ear: "Wife, wife..."
"I might not be able to be your wife anymore." She spoke faintly.
His body tensed up suddenly, "What did you say?"
"I said, I might not be able to be your wife anymore." She repeated what she had just said.
"Shen Cheng!" His dark eyes flared up with a terrifying fierceness.
Shen Cheng hummed a reply, "Today, the director of the marketing department confessed his love for me, saying the moment he saw me he fell for me. He wants to be with me, so he gave me a surprise. He filled the storage room with roses and proposed to me. He said he didn’t mind that I’ve been married before, that I’ve had a child, as long as I’m willing to give him a chance, he will take me home."
"Damn it!" His anger flew: "The surprise was supposed to be from me! So was the love I asked for! And you’re telling me you’re going to be someone else’s wife?"
