A woman who doesn't know how to preserve her dignity, even if she has redeeming qualities, is not worthy to be Mrs. Leng.
Shu Qiqi bit her lower lip, "Do you think I cooked to avoid divorcing you?"
"Isn't that the case?" No one offers favors without expecting something in return.
Knowing the man had misunderstood, Shu Qiqi couldn't explain.
Because indeed her 'motives were impure'.
Shu Qiqi felt like the table full of good dishes had gone to the dogs, and she was extremely depressed.
She turned around angrily and went to the bathroom.
Leng Yichen, seeing that the woman didn't explain, took it as an acknowledgment, and held her in even greater contempt.
Just as he was about to leave, a scream came from the bathroom.
Then a thump...
His eyes darkened and he turned back, "Shu Qiqi?"
When his hand touched the door, he found it unlocked and pushed it open instinctively: a sight to behold.
Amidst the misty steam, the woman's face flushed like ripe peaches, tears shimmering, as she braced herself with her slender arms on the ground.
Her waist hugged the floor, one foot was raised while the other propped against the ground, as if trying to stand up.
After two failed attempts, she ended up pulling off the towel wrapped around her.
Feeling a surge of blood, Leng Yichen felt a heaviness in his lower abdomen, blood rushing backwards, and his throat involuntarily tightened.
"You... get out," Shu Qiqi said desperately and angrily.
Sitting on the floor, she scrambled with her hands to grab the towel.
Leng Yichen watched her clumsy movements, breathing more rapidly, the hand squeezing the doorknob creaking.
He slammed the bathroom door angrily: stupid woman made a failed attempt, then started to seduce him.
What's more infuriating was that he embarrassingly reacted again.
Why did Shu Qiqi always so easily arouse his desire? It made him very angry.
Before leaving, he heard the woman's weak voice from the bathroom, "Leng Yichen, are... are you still there?"
"What do you want?" Leng Yichen's voice was deep, very displeased.
Shu Qiqi frowned, wishing she didn't have to speak at this moment.
"It seems like I have sprained my foot and can't stand up; can you help me out?"
She had been preoccupied with the contract, and her inattentiveness resulted in a sprained ankle, and it seemed her waist was twisted too. Any movement caused pain, and she couldn't stand up at all.
"Don't think you can seduce me with this kind of act."
Having said that, Leng Yichen left the bedroom.
"Hey... I didn't..." Shu Qiqi hadn't finished speaking when there was a bang from outside; the bedroom door had been shut.
She looked desperate, oh God, someone help her.
The bathroom floor was both wet and cold, Shu Qiqi painfully shifted her buttocks, finally managing to sit up with great difficulty.
This was her limit; she couldn't twist her waist or exert any force, and her ankle had swollen significantly.
That hateful man.
Shu Qiqi, with nowhere to turn to for help, had to lean against the wall gathering her strength.
As time ticked by, Leng Yichen took a cold shower in the guest room, put on his pajamas, and returned to the bedroom.
Not seeing Shu Qiqi, he glanced toward the bathroom: She could still be inside.
"Shu Qiqi, are you planning to spend the night in there?"
The man looked at the woman impatiently.
The woman leaning against the wall was only wrapped in a towel, her shoulders trembling slightly.
"Leng Yichen, I wasn't lying, I can't move my waist, and my foot is swollen. If you don't believe me, look."
Shu Qiqi, afraid the man might walk away again, quickly extended her swollen foot towards him.
As she sat on the floor and lifted her leg, the towel came undone.
Leng Yichen felt immediately that his cold shower had been for naught.
"Shameless," he said icily, his gaze colder than ever.
Shu Qiqi, realizing what she had just done, blushed deeply, quickly withdrawing her foot, but the sudden movement jarred her twisted waist.
She cried out in pain.
That sound was both seductive and crisp, softening Leng Yichen's bones.
His face grew even colder with anger, "Shut your mouth."
Shu Ranqi covered her mouth nervously, her eyes pitifully fixed on the man.
