Rose served herself a bowl of soup first and was not afraid of him at all. “You are still alive and well, and it won’t be too late to try once that happens.”
She smiled as she talked, then drank the soup in a particularly happy mood. Satisfaction was painted all over her face.
“Wow, this soup is delicious.”
Bright put his soup bowl in front of Rose and raised an eyebrow slightly. “Give me a bowl too.”
“Don't you have any hands? I'm not a servant in your family. Scoop for yourself if you want to have it.” Rose ignored him and continued to drink her soup.
“You’re not going to do it? Then I'll go find grandma and your dad right now and get their opinions on whether Mrs. Lee should take good care of Mr. Lee.” Bright hinted that he was going to expose their relationship as husband and wife in order to threaten her.
Rose's face grew sullen and stared at the man in front of her. “Mr. Lee, you are not a man if you did something like this!”
“Won’t you know if I’m a man once you try. Anyway, we are legal.” Bright's eyes were deep and unfathomable like an abyss, making her wonder whether he was joking or serious.
“Cough, cough, cough...” Rose was so scared by his words that she choked herself and couldn’t stop coughing.
Seeing this, Bright put down his chopsticks, walked around the table to her side, raised his hand and patted her back, hoping to make her feel better.
“Drink some water.” The man's warm voice was stained with a smile. Because of Rose, Bright sounded helpless, as if he didn’t know what to do. “How could you be so careless when you are only having soup?”
“Well. If it wasn’t for you….!” If he didn't talk nonsense, could she be frightened?
Obviously, it was his fault. How could he scold her?
“Everything I said was the truth.” Bright bent down and stared at her eyes. “Since you are going to poison me, then shouldn’t I do something to you before you poison me to death? No matter what, I need to make sure that you have my offspring.”
This was the Bright she was familiar with, someone who pretended to be cold but was a bad man all over.
Rose felt that she had brought doom to herself.
Bright’s thin lips curled up unnoticeably, fully revealing his evil charm. “This is exactly why it’s worth dying under a beautiful woman. Why doesn’t Mrs. Lee give Mr. Lee the chance?”
Rose was moved when she heard Bright call her “Mrs. Lee”, and her face and ears turned red. His voice was too crisp and sultry – it was music to her ears, so much it was going to kill her!
“Mr. Lee, it is clearly stated in the contract that we do not fulfill obligations between husband and wife. Buy one get one free is impossible. Please respect the contract.” Rose endured the heat in her ears and mentioned the contract, hoping to stop this man from thinking and behaving absurdly.
“I’m almost dead. Why would I still care about those things?” Bright scoffed.
“…” She couldn’t win over him, so she decided to just shut him up.
Rose put the soup in front of him.
Seeing that she had eased a little, Bright returned to his seat, then held up the soup bowl and drank slowly, savouring every bit of it.
Rose didn't look at him anymore and lowered her head to eat her own meal.
“This soup...” Bright's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed his heart with one hand. “It’s poisonous…”
Rose saw his frowning eyebrows, heavy breathing, and pale face that her face also turned pale. She hurriedly kicked away the chair and headed to his side.
“What's wrong with you, Bright...I didn't make this soup...” Rose didn’t know what to do for a moment when she saw how uncomfortable he was. “Don't scare me...how could it be poisonous...”
“Bright...” Rose almost cried as she called his name. “I'll call the doctor—”
Rose was about to turn around to head to the living room when she felt her hand being grabbed and pulled by someone before she fell onto the man's lap and he embraced her.
Rose was once again frightened by Bright's bold behaviour.
The most important thing was that he lied to her? But she believed him like a fool, and almost cried because of it.
But he was making fun of her!
How terrible!
