Chapter 1222: Chapter 1222: Angry?
Chu Ci still caught her, and she fell into his arms.
"I have no relations with the girls here." He said rarely with a good temper, probably because it was a new marriage, and secondly, her hand was injured by him.
Zhao Mo Ran hung her head silently, and after a while, said in a low voice: "I didn’t mean that."
"Then what do you mean?" He sneered: "Otherwise, why are you losing your temper?"
As he spoke, he looked down at her, "Okay, if you don’t like this place, let’s go to another restaurant to eat, and I’ll send you home afterward."
He yielded so much that if she continued to argue, it would seem imprudent of her, so she said nothing more.
Chu Ci turned and greeted those few people before leaving with her.
As soon as they left, the girl was unhappy, and someone comforted her: "Zhao Fei, that’s the legitimate wife, did you really think Mr. Chu would leave her to humor you?"
The girl said quietly: "I didn’t think that."
"It’s best that way." The person continued, "Mr. Chu doesn’t easily open up, so you’d better guard your heart, gain some advantages and know when to stop. Don’t think being Mrs. Chu is easy; this one seems meticulously chosen by him."
Zhao Fei was somewhat in disbelief: "I heard it was a flash marriage, how could there be time to choose?"
The person smiled with slender eyes, playing with a delicate lighter, "Didn’t you notice she looks a bit like the previous one? Not everyone has such blessings."
Zhao Fei seemed thoughtful...
On the other side, Chu Ci took Zhao Mo Ran to another restaurant for dinner, her hand made it difficult for her to eat quickly. He didn’t pamper her diligently but instead smoked a cigarette, patiently waiting for her to finish before asking: "Full?"
She nodded.
He immediately stood up: "I’ll take you home."
It was only upon sitting in the car that she softly said: "Don’t worry, I won’t interfere with your private life."
Chu Ci holding the steering wheel, glanced at her sideways, somewhat displeased: "Are you so eager to tell your husband you don’t love him, assuring him he can indulge outside without any burden?"
She remained silent, simply turning her head to quietly watch outside the car window.
Chu Ci continued to look at her, her slender white neck was rather beautiful.
She indeed looked quite good.
Suddenly he changed his mind.
And Zhao Mo Ran knew nothing of his thoughts.
At the villa, she went upstairs, he followed and closed the master bedroom door.
She was somewhat startled, staring at him: "Aren’t you going to a social event?"
"Not going." He took off his coat and tossed it onto the sofa, "I’ll entertain you."
She understood, felt slightly ashamed, and couldn’t help but take a step back.
He chuckled lowly: "After so many times, why are you still shy like an innocent girl?"
As he spoke, he reached out to pull her into his embrace, lowered his head and kissed her... her whole body stiffened, her injured hand clenched into a fist at his chest, later having nowhere to rest, she placed it on his shoulder.
Chu Ci gently held it, guiding it around his neck, kissing her as he leaned towards the sofa...
...
By evening, she awoke.
The bedroom was filled with warm yellow light, her body also warm and comfortable, not wanting to get up at all.
"Awake?" His voice cut through the quiet space.
She was startled, then looked at him.
Chu Ci dressed elegantly, was sitting on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window reading the newspaper, now he put it down and said softly: "If you’re up, eat something, tomorrow I’ll take you to change your bandage then you can go back to your family."
She’s not stupid, seeing his outfit knew he was going out, she didn’t want to ask detailed questions and vaguely said: "You’re not having dinner at home?"
He replied quietly: "There’s a gathering."
Zhao Mo Ran felt a wave of loss.
Even if she didn’t love him, she wouldn’t want her husband to associate with women. She... also preferred cleanliness. If she weren’t unable to refuse, she wouldn’t like him touching her.
The air was silent for a moment.
Chu Ci laughed awkwardly: "What, reluctant to let me go? Want me to accompany you tonight?"
"No." She lightly pressed her lips: "You handle your business."
She always felt a bit embarrassed.
Chu Ci chuckled softly, approached placing his hands on either side of the bed, she hung her head: "It’s late."
He touched her face: "So indifferent?"
She turned her face: "What do you want me to say, or should I pretend to care?"
Chu Ci’s fingers chased her face, still lightly caressing, smiled: "Is there a different price for that?"
She said nothing, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Chu Ci didn’t say anything else, rose: "Meals are ready, don’t act childishly."
He adjusted his clothes slightly and walked out slowly.
Only after he left did Zhao Mo Ran clutch her collar and sit up; it was then she noticed she was wearing the black shirt he wore in the afternoon, how did it end up on her?
She sat quietly, thinking about today’s events and the future.
She lightly licked her lips, wondering what to do if she got pregnant...
She dared not continue taking medicine because Chu Ci would certainly find out. He clearly wanted her to get pregnant quickly, so he could complete his task and indulge outside even more. She also wondered if he didn’t allow those women outside to take medicine, if he wanted a child too.
Merely thinking about it made her worried, she scratched her head and got up to change clothes.
Facing the mirror, she realized how chaotic she appeared, so she changed into a high-necked dress. When she went downstairs, the servant’s gaze carried some slight ambiguity, she pretended not to notice and said softly: "Did the gentleman say when he will return?"
The servant smiled and said: "A newlywed husband never stays out past ten."
Zhao Mo Ran smiled faintly, saying nothing.
If they truly were newlyweds, he wouldn’t be going out.
She had no appetite, quickly ate a few bites, and went back upstairs to paint.
Downstairs, the servant looked up at the direction she left and sighed: "Madam is so beautiful, amiable, and compliant, why doesn’t the gentleman cherish her?"
After being in this house for so long, they’re not fools; the gentleman always returns late, carries the scent of women’s perfume, and the lady never argued with him...
Upstairs, Zhao Mo Ran painted all evening, only went to sleep around midnight. Painting with an injured hand naturally hurt more, she changed the bandage herself, and when she removed it, the gauze seeped with quite a bit of blood. She stared at it for a while and laughed lightly.
It should be a bad omen!
When she lay down to sleep, Chu Ci hadn’t returned, only when she was about to fall asleep downstairs noise was heard.
About a minute later, someone opened the bedroom door. She knew he was back, but she remained lying on her side without getting up. Chu Ci sat at the bedside, reached out to touch her side face: "Still pretending to sleep?"
She stopped pretending, said softly: "It’s late, I want to sleep."
He acquiesced graciously, nodded and kissed her cheek before going to the bathroom.
