บท 5: Chapter 5 The Impulse to Take a Bite
Leng Yichen was slightly impatient, his tone even colder than before.
"Well, I just wanted to remind you that coffee should be drunk while it's hot, cold coffee isn't good for the stomach."
Cold coffee isn't good for the stomach? It was the first time Leng Yichen had heard such a claim.
A touch of scornful, cold laughter couldn't help but surface on his lips, "If you have something to say, just say it directly, no need to cozy up to me."
Shu Qiqi knew her excuse was far-fetched and could only tell the truth, "I want to go back to the Shu Family."
"You don't need to report this kind of thing to me, we have a contract. As long as you follow the contract, I'm not interested in anything else."
The man's eyebrows knitted together, visibly annoyed.
Shu Qiqi took a deep breath, whispering, "Could you, maybe, come back with me?"
Their marriage was just a transaction; the man had no obligation to accompany her to the Shu Family, and she knew her request was unreasonable. But for Tongtong, she had to try.
Leng Yichen threw the pen in his hand, "Woman, are you making a request of me?"
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, it's just that we've just gotten married, and if I go back alone, it will certainly cause suspicion. Later on, it might reach Grandma's ears..."
Shu Qiqi's chin was seized, the man glaring at her fiercely, "Shu Qiqi, do you dare use Grandma to threaten me?"
Such an immoral woman, he truly didn't understand what Grandma saw in her.
His eyes were unfathomable, as if they could suck a person in.
Fear, deep fear.
Shu Qiqi sensed danger and instinctively wanted to step back.
But with her chin clutched by the man, she couldn't move at all.
"No... I'm not threatening you," Shu Qiqi said with a pained voice.
Her eyes were already brimming with tears.
This man was just as the rumors described, a machine devoid of emotions. Her careful thoughts were utterly foolish; had she known it would turn out like this, she would never have spoken up in the first place.
Leng Yichen stared at the woman before him, her small face flushed pink, tears on the brink of falling, her face full of fear and vulnerability.
Her quivering red lips were like ripe cherries, tempting one to taste them.
Leng Yichen only felt a rush of heat, his breathing tensed, his Adam's apple rolling slightly.
It was that uncontrollable urge again, causing Leng Yichen's brows to furrow deeply.
How could he feel desire for such a dirty woman, the annoyance welled up inside him.
"Get out."
The moment Leng Yichen released her, Shu Qiqi had already dashed out of the study, fearing that a second's delay would make the man regretful.
Too frightening, this man was utterly unreasonable.
What should she do now? Leng Yichen refused to accompany her back to the Shu Family. How could she make him agree?
Shu Qiqi returned to the dining room with a heavy heart, and soon after, Leng Yichen also came down.
The maid brought the breakfast to the table.
Still shaken by the recent events, Shu Qiqi dared not sit next to Leng Yichen and chose to sit beside the old lady.
Seeing that Leng Yichen had no intention of sitting next to Shu Qiqi, the old lady openly glared at him, "Yichen, sit beside your wife."
Shu Qiqi shuddered, her heart trembling: it was as if her fears were coming to life.
The old lady took Shu Qiqi's hand, "Qiqi, what would you like to eat? Shall I have Yichen get it for you?"
Before Shu Qiqi could speak, Leng Yichen said, "Grandma, she has her own hands."
"Shut up, if I tell you to get something, just get it. Qiqi, what do you want to eat?"
The old lady looked at Shu Qiqi with a pleasant expression.
Shu Qiqi, needing a favor from the man, dared not trouble him.
She hurriedly said, "I'll get it for Yichen instead. Yichen, what would you like to eat?"
