Yan Xiruo looked at the handsome face within reach. Her eyes became confused and gentle. She thought that this must be a dream. Only in a dream would Lu Jingchen look at her with such passionate eyes and embrace her so forcefully into his arms.
“Can you… kiss me?”
Ye Juemo’s deep eyes sank. The smart him immediately understood that this woman was treating him as her husband.
Under the dazzling crystal chandelier, his cold face was covered with a layer of frost. He seemed to have lost his patience and pinched her chin. He ordered in a low voice, “Open your mouth and take your medicine.”
“Jingchen, it hurts.”
Ye Juemo’s face completely sank and his body exuded sinister coldness. The female servant standing by the side didn’t even dare to take a deep breath.
Yan Xiruo saw Ye Juemo getting up. A layer of mist covered her eyes. She tugged his sleeve lightly with her small hands and said in an aggrieved manner, “Jingchen, what exactly have I done wrong? Why do you treat me this way? I never thought of getting your family’s money by marrying you. I really just want to be with you…”
Perhaps only in such an unconscious state would she dare to tell “Lu Jingchen” her heartfelt words. She was afraid that if she said these when she was sober, she would hear mockery and sarcasm that would break her heart.
Ye Juemo’s face became so cold that a layer of frost could be shaved off of it. He flung Yan Xiruo’s hand away and grabbed her chin. He stared at her sinisterly. “Open your eyes and take a clear look at who I am!”
He pinched her chin forcefully. The pain overwhelmed her and Yan Xiruo immediately became sober.
She saw Ye Juemo’s face clearly, and the almond-shaped eyes covered with mist shrank.
Why was it him?
She surveyed her surroundings. It was a foreign yet luxurious room. This wasn’t somewhere she was familiar with.
Ye Juemo raised his hand, and the female servant was sensible enough to leave the room.
When she saw that only the two of them were left in the room, Yan Xiruo’s breathing became rapid. She slapped the big hand that was pinching her chin with her small hands. She was flushed red and said weakly, “Let go of me.”
She seemed to be running a high fever. At this moment, her brain felt extremely uncomfortable.
Ye Juemo curved his lips evilly. “Didn’t you ask me to kiss you just now?”
Yan Xiruo looked at his dark pupils, which reflected her shadow. She looked so pale and weak as she said with her eyes red, “You obviously know that I mistook you for my husband…”
“Heh.” Ye Juemo sneered and the temperature in his eyes dropped a little. His big and tall figure approached her. The more she retreated, the more he moved forward. Her back hit the head of the bed. His firm chest was pressed closely to her soft chest.
“Actually, I don’t like to use forceful means, so be obedient and be my woman.”
Yan Xiruo opened her eyes wide and stared at the man before her in disbelief, as if what she had just heard was just illusions produced by her ears.
After a while, she said with trembling lips and in a hoarse voice, “Why?” They had known each other for only two days. She wasn’t a national beauty either. A rich, powerful, and extraordinarily good-looking man like him shouldn’t be lacking women by his side, right? Furthermore, she was a married woman.
“Why?” Ye Juemo took back the hand he’d placed on her chin. He squinted his dangerous and deep eyes for a moment in silence, as if thinking. “Perhaps it’s because no woman has interested me in such a long time now.”
“The Lu family is one of the four giants in An City. If you dare to force yourself on me, the Lu family wouldn’t let you off.” Even if Lu Jingchen didn’t like her as a wife, if she really had another man outside, he would definitely want this man’s life.
Ye Juemo laughed lowly. He was like Satan in the dark. His dangerous eyes were filled with wildness and arrogance. “Do you think I’m afraid?”
