Be it physical strength or verbal disputes, Su Ziyue was never a match for Qin Muchen.
Just like the situation she was in now, not only was she unable to move because he was pinning her down, but she also could not find the words to rebuke him.
"Y-You’re not allowed to kiss me anymore!" Finally, she was able to find her voice again just as his lips reached her small, adorable belly button.
Heeding her words, he lifted his head to look at her, his dark eyes filled with desire. He was already born with a gorgeous face and deep-set features to begin with, and he looked even more attractive right now when he smiled. In a calm voice, he asked, "Are you commanding me?"
After all, Su Ziyue was just a tender, young girl who just graduated from university. Besides attending classes and working a part-time job, she could be considered as a person with high moral integrity as she never messed around with other people.
After their lovemaking session last night coupled with the teasing from this morning and all the spots he was kissing now, she couldn’t take it anymore.
In her already moistened eyes, mist instantly filled up.
Seeing her like that, Qin Muchen stopped teasing her. Instead, he straightened his body and pulled her into his embrace, speaking softly, "I'll stop now. Promise me you won't see Lu Shichu again."
Being in his arms when both of them were still naked, Su Ziyue was still a little shy and when he brought up Lu Shichu, she looked at him quizzically. "Why shouldn't I see Shichu anymore?"
The way she said his name sounded so affectionate compared to the tone she used whenever she called his name.
He twisted his head to the side, not looking at or speaking to her.
Blinking a couple of times, Su Ziyue stared at his side profile for a few seconds before realizing that he seemed to be angry.
But she did not do anything to ruffle his feathers. It was him who was bullying her.
She thought that his temper was getting more and more unpredictable and that he must have been putting on a facade the whole time they were living together.
"You won’t promise?" Qin Muchen let out a deep sigh and lowered his gaze at her. Looking at her fluttering lashes, he could not help but reach out to brush it and his heart softened.
Ever since they were young, Su Ziyue and Lu Shichu grew up together. After her father was imprisoned and she was slandered, they still remained friends. Also, the fact that she cherished the gifts from him went to show how important he was to her.
It was just as Bai Jingshu said: childhood friends who grew up together as innocent playmates had deep affection for each other.
Perhaps she really only saw him as a friend, but she was such a nice girl that there was no guarantee he would not have other ideas about her.
"There must be a reason for everything. Shichu is a really nice person," she said. Lu Shichu mattered a lot to her.
Must everything have a reason?
But he couldn’t explain why he had fallen in love with her.
They had a big fight the last time when he could not give her a reason. After spending so much effort to coax her, he did not want to have another conflict with her again.
But when he heard the way she called Lu Shichu's name again, it took him a lot of restraint to be able to change the topic. "What would you like for breakfast? I'll prepare it."
Su Ziyue was indeed hungry and when he asked, she listed a bunch of food she would like, successfully changing the topic.
Qin Muchen pinched her pink cheeks. "I'll prepare them. Lie down for a while more," he said as he rolled over and got out of bed.
Instantly, Su Ziyue covered her face. Turning to look at her, Qin Muchen chuckled and decided not to tease her anymore, lest it created an undesirable effect.
From the cloakroom, he found a set of clothes and put them on. When he came out, he saw that she was wrapped in a blanket, crawling around like she was looking for something.
Getting close to her, he asked, "What are you looking for?"
It seemed like he was not planning to leave the house today from the way he dressed—a set of leisure wear in deep gray, the color of which was the same as the bedsheets.
For some reason, Su Ziyue's face flushed and she tightened the blanket around her. "Where's my phone?" she asked softly.
"You left your handbag at Lumiere Jade House. I'll ask Nan Chuan to send it over in a while." Seeing the confused look on her face, he continued, "Did you fall into such deep sleep that you forgot about it?"
It came back to her when he said this, but her gaze now fell on the clothes that were scattered all over the floor…
Following her gaze, he immediately understood what she was thinking and started picking up the clothes that were torn apart by them last night when things became intense.
Her face turned into a deeper shade of red and she burrowed herself into the blanket.
After picking up the clothes, he glanced in the direction of the bed and then left the room.
---
Su Ziyue only poked her head out after she heard the door close.
After making sure that Qin Muchen was no longer in the room, she pulled the blanket off her and scanned her own body. She was startled when she saw that she was covered in bruises.
Last night… Did Qin Muchen use that much force on her?
Biting her lips, she blinked and suddenly laughed.
When her laughter ended, her brows knitted together as a dreary look took over her face.
So what was the relationship between her and Qin Muchen now?
Yesterday, he had brought her the divorce papers and then clarified that he did not have an intimate relationship with that woman. Then, this happened.
She had heard people say that for something like this to happen, if the woman was not willing, the man would usually never get his way.
So, deep down inside, she actually wanted something like this to happen with him…
Men fell in love because of s*x while women only had s*x because of love.
That meant that she actually liked Qin Muchen.
At the thought of this, her frown deepened.
The man whom she liked had slept with her after bringing her the divorce papers. But things were already at this stage so it was impossible to still think about divorce!
Sighing to herself, she then jumped out of bed and went into the bathroom.

After she finished showering, she got changed and went downstairs to see that Qin Muchen was almost done preparing breakfast.
Turning around to grab the honey, Qin Muchen saw her staring at him with her arms crossed.
Her long, wavy hair reached her shoulders and her eyes were bright. She had a healthy blush on her fair face and she was wearing red lips along with a white turtleneck sweater with the hem tucked into a red checkered A-line skirt. Lastly, she had slipped on a pair of long flat boots that revealed a part of her fair legs.
In the late-autumn weather, the way she dressed was refreshing, and the fact that Su Ziyue had a good figure made her look beautiful no matter what.
Initially, Su Ziyue thought that she was carrying an imposing aura but she turned weak all of a sudden after he looked at her from head to toe.
His gaze was so intense that she felt as if she was naked and it made her turn her head away awkwardly.
"Is breakfast ready?" she asked dryly.
"Take a seat, it will be ready soon." He withdrew his gaze, turned around and grinned when he was sure she couldn’t see his face.
