Almost the moment Qiao Yanli came close to her, Xia Yanxi's whole body tightened involuntarily.
The heartbeat was panicked and chaotic.
Some resisted his closeness, but she didn't push him away.
The man's breathing seemed to be heavy, and it hit his ears. Then, his low and hoarse voice came, "Are you worried?"
He knew that she was not asleep.
Xia Yanxi took a deep breath. She opened her eyes that were covered with moisture. After biting her lower lip, she couldn't help but ask, "Qiao Yanli, answer me honestly. When you marry me, from the beginning Don’t you simply want to cooperate with me? Do you have other plans for me?”
The man behind her didn't say a word, but she clearly felt his body stiffen slightly.
Because her back was to him, she couldn't see his expression.
However, she could feel that the air in the room seemed to be condensed with a layer of frost, which was so cold that it made her heart palpitate and tremble.
"What did Fu Jingsi tell you?" He was a smart man. She could ask this. Considering her abnormal behavior tonight, he would definitely be able to guess who she had been in contact with.
Xia Yanxi sneered in her heart.
He didn't deny it.
This also shows that his motives for approaching her are really impure.
All the pampering and love were just what he did to another woman through her!
What else is there to ask? Asking too many questions is just asking for her own humiliation!
"Qiao Yanli, I'm a little tired. Can you go to the study room or sleep on the sofa?" After a slight pause, he continued, "I'll sleep on the sofa or share a bed with Aunt Xu..."
Before he finished speaking, his body was pulled over forcefully.
The light in the room was very dark, only the moonlight coming from the window shone on the bed. Even so, she could still see his extremely tense face, which made him look extremely cold. There was a cold light in his dark eyes, "How much do you know?" His low voice was very tense. Tight, like a bowstring stretched to the extreme, revealing a heart-stopping danger.
Xia Yanxi felt that it was meaningless to talk about this anymore.
Her heart was already riddled with holes, and even if he stabbed her again, she wouldn't be in such pain that she would seek death.
Many times, through pain, you learn to be strong.
"I'm so tired. I just want to be alone." She put her hands on his chest and tried to push him away.
Qiao Yanli stared at her deeply with his obsidian eyes, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"
Xia Yanxi laughed weakly, "What else do you have to ask, Qiao Yanli, actually, I won't blame you. After all, our marriage is a cooperation, and it can even be said to be a transaction. I am really grateful for the time, help and support you have given me. In fact, I have nothing to repay you. If you want my body now, I can give myself to you, really!"
Her eyes were hollow and she didn't shed tears, but it was more distressing than tears.
Qiao Yanli looked at Xia Yanxi, who treated her like a commodity. His deep eyes were full of emotions, and his stern face showed even more indifference, "Xia Yanxi, I don't allow you to do this - demean yourself!"
Xia Yanxi smiled vaguely, her quiet eyes looked at the man who was about to storm with a deathly look, and her voice was full of ridicule, "I didn't mean anything to myself, I just wanted to use my most precious thing to... Pay you back."
Qiao Yanli understood the underlying meaning of her words, and pinched her delicate jaw with his long fingers, "If you pay back, you will draw a clear line with me in the future?"
