Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Listening to the Jade Corner

A tentative attempt at seduction was rejected by Cheng Su. Even though the light had been put out, they both knew that neither of them was asleep.

Cheng Su turned her head to glance at Qi Taiguo, who was facing away from her, and scoffed softly. What was he angry about? Wasn’t this sort of thing supposed to happen only when both parties were willing?

She had no feelings for him, so how could she sleep with him? Even if they were husband and wife, what did that matter? This wasn’t ancient times, where she was obliged to fulfill the duties of a wife under pressure.

Besides, wasn’t it the same for him? He had no feelings for her either, did he?

Thinking this, Cheng Su also turned her back to him and said, "The so-called joy of union requires mutual affection and willingness. Otherwise, it’s just like animals releasing their instincts. Qi Taiguo, do you have feelings for me?"

Qi Taiguo opened his eyes but remained silent. However, in the darkness, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

Before long, he heard her speak again in a low murmur, as if whispering, "Let’s wait until we both have feelings for each other."

His gaze was heavy, and soon enough, he heard her breathing evenly. He couldn’t quite identify the taste in his heart, filled with gloom.

Outside the door, Mother Qi tiptoed away, returning to her own room.

She sat on the edge of the bed, irritated, and nudged her old man, muttering, "I think our hopes for a grandson are dashed. There’s no sign of any activity from Taiguo’s side. How long will we have to wait before we can hold a grandchild?"

Father Qi, roused twice by her nudging and already in a mood, heard this and sprang up from the bed, glaring at her, "What’s gotten into you, eavesdropping on your son and daughter-in-law’s bedroom at your age?"

Eavesdropping!
