Seeing that he was stopping whatever he was doing, a gleam of hope lit up in Su Ziyue’s eyes which saw her nodding forcefully. “Yes.”
Qin Muchen rejected her suggestion in a frigid tone, “It’s not necessary.”
Did she ask to have a talk so that she could tell him she was leaving him?
He could not allow that to happen.
Even though she was not willing to have his child and even though she might love another man, she could not go anywhere else but stay by his side as long as he refused to let her go.
That thought made him feel much better at once.
“Please listen to me… Argh! Hmm…”
Without giving her a chance to persuade him further, Qin Muchen lowered his body and kissed her forcefully as he removed her clothes in an adept manner.
After feeling her body around with his hands, he pushed himself into her recklessly without even removing his own clothes.
His invasion felt so painful that Su Ziyue had to arch her back to cope with it; she felt like screaming in pain but her lips were blocked by his. Out of habit, her slender fingers moved toward his shoulder to form a tight grip around it.
She felt pain but Qin Muchen did not feel any better either.
After pushing himself slightly deeper into her, he looked up and moved his mouth away from hers. With a hoarse voice, he said, “Relax…”
The further he went inside, the more pain she felt. As soon as he got out of her, she yelled at him, “Scram!”
Qin Muchen’s face fell as soon as he heard her. “No way.”
Prior to this, she was unwilling to have kids with him. Was she trying to stay chaste now?
What would follow after that?
Would she want to divorce him?
His face darkened as he pulled his necktie out, lifted both of her hands over her head and tied them tightly together with the necktie.
While he was still neatly dressed, she was left totally naked; the stark contrast was enough to make her feel embarrassed to begin with.
Now, she was panic-stricken as both of her hands were tied up by him. “What are you doing? Let me go…”
“I think I've already made it obvious enough. I’m surprised that you still have no idea what I’m doing… ” After tying her hands, he withdrew his hands before biting her lips and whispering to her, “Why are you asking me such a dumb question?”
Trying hard to put up with the pain, Su Ziyue bit her lips to stop herself from groaning as part of her silent protest.
…
When she woke up the next day, her whole body ached.
She wanted to say something but once she opened her mouth, her throat felt so sore as though she had swallowed a mouthful of sand; she felt slightly dizzy too.
Then, she moved her hands to touch the space beside her. As her mind felt fuzzy, she spoke habitually, “Qin Muchen…”
At the time, Qin Muchen was washing his face in the bathroom. As the door was not properly closed and was left unlatched, he could vaguely hear her voice.
She seemed to be calling his name.
In fact, he had not considered many things before he decided to come over to the condominium last night. He had merely wanted to make sure she was home, and he had also thought about the possibility that she would already have consumed the contraceptive pills.
Nonetheless, he did not expect that he would freak out.
He lost it the moment he learnt that she had really eaten the pills, which meant that she would rather hurt her own body than have kids with him.
Although he was thinking that he might have heard her wrongly, he still walked out of the bathroom.
“Qin Muchen.” In a trance, Su Ziyue saw a familiar figure walking toward the bed.
After a pause, he approached her and glanced down at her with a blank face. “What’s wrong?” he asked in an indifferent tone.
Su Ziyue’s eyelids fluttered and her vision was still blurry. “I’m feeling unwell.” Her raspy voice sounded coquettish as it was imbued with traces of distress.
Her voice caused flutters in Qin Muchen’s stomach. Soon, his eyes started losing some of the edges and the iciness in his voice wore off a little as he asked, “Which part of your body is feeling unwell?”
He sat down on the edge of the bed and moved one hand to feel her forehead.
Her forehead felt slightly cold to his touch. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand to feel his own forehead, his hand was grabbed by a pair of soft and tender hands.
Su Ziyue dragged his hand deeper underneath the blanket and muttered softly, “I feel pain over here too…”
After they ended their session last night, he had cleaned her but he had not dressed her. Therefore, his hand could immediately feel the smooth and soft sensation of her skin.
In an instant, he had an erection.
Frustration flashed across in his face without him realizing before he retrieved his hand swiftly to touch his forehead.
He reckoned she was having a mild fever. Her voice when she was calling his name was hoarse and she was looking dazed and disorientated now.
Although he indeed wanted to vent out his fury on her, it was never his intention to make her ill.
Watching how she looked with her eyes shut and a frown on her forehead, he was seized by both remorse and distress.
He moved his hand to stroke her face. “Su Ziyue?”
Without opening her eyes, she only let out a groan in acknowledgement.
“Dear?” he called tentatively again.
Still keeping her eyes shut, she replied, “Yes…”
Indeed, she was too ill to be thinking straight as she was responding to him no matter how he addressed her.
Looking concerned, Qin Muchen gave her cheeks a peck before walking out of the room to give Nan Chuan a call. “Get me Lu…”
He immediately stopped halfway and said instead, “Get a female doctor to the condominium unit Su Ziyue used to stay in.”
Nan Chuan was stunned when he received the instruction from Qin Muchen. Curiosity got the better of him as he started thinking about the reason why his boss and his wife had abandoned the mansion to stay at the small condominium unit instead and he was impressed by how romantic they were.
Tsk, a female doctor…
…
After making the call, Qin Muchen returned to the bed to check on Su Ziyue before walking away to get her some clothes.
Fortunately, she did not move everything from here to Cloud Bay back then.
After he found a set of clothes, he went back to the bed and removed the blanket in preparation to get her dressed.
She pressed herself tightly into his arms, refusing to leave the blanket once she got out because she was feeling too cold. “I’m freezing…” she mumbled.
It was only then did Qin Muchen realize that the heater in the room was not on.
Last night, he had had a rather rough session with her and on top of that, she had been walking amidst the cold and windy weather outside before she went home. On top of that, he had neglected to turn on the heater in the room before they slept. Because of those reasons, she fell sick.
Holding her in his arms with one hand, Qin Muchen used his free hand to pull over the blanket and wrapped it tightly around her. “Are you warm enough now?”
Su Ziyue, who snuggled deeper into his arms, muttered, “Yes…”
Her movement sent his heart racing faster and his eyes looking milder. After a moment of silence, he asked, “Then shall we have a baby together?”
“Okay,” she answered right away without hesitation.
In an instant, Qin Muchen felt an overwhelming happiness inside him.
Yet, he soon calmed down to remind himself that she had only agreed to it because she was not thinking straight in her current state.
After keeping her in his arms for some time, he helped her change into her clothes, turned on the heater and left the room.
Soon, Nan Chuan and the doctor arrived.
“Mr. Qin.” After bringing the doctor into the unit, Nan Chuan gave his surroundings a scan before asking, “How’s Mrs. Qin?”
Qin Muchen snapped, “Are you very free today?”
Nan Chuan cleared his throat before explaining to him with a solemn look, “I was worried that the doctor might not be able to find her way here. And I don’t think it’s okay to ask someone else to bring her here either.”
“Okay.” Qin Muchen only replied to him in an impassive tone before bringing the doctor into the room.
Although Nan Chuan was curious about Su Ziyue’s condition, he was sensible enough to stay outside and wait.
