Chapter 39 I Don’t Want To Deal With You

Chapter 39: Chapter 39 I Don’t Want To Deal With You When Cheng Su brought a bowl of egg soup over to the main room, Father Qi and the others were telling Qi Taiguo about the incident with Qi Fenglian. Taiguo’s entire face tensed up as he struggled to contain his rage. "It was lucky your wife was decisive. Your elder sister and your nephew were saved because of her quick actions, otherwise..." Father Qi sighed before adding, "I told your mother not to mention it, but she insisted. Can you really manage to rush back here like this?"

"I don’t have any vacation time either. I came home right after leaving the troops, and I have to return after seeing my elder sister tomorrow," Taiguo explained, his gaze softening as he spotted Cheng Su entering.

Dad said it was all thanks to her decisiveness!

"You didn’t have to hurry back since your elder sister is fine now," Father Qi expressed his disapproval of Taiguo’s actions.

"It’s fine; I have a sense of measure!" Taiguo received the bowl of soup that Cheng Su passed to him. Feeling hungry, he wolfed down the food.

With the first taste, he paused slightly. Egg soup... so simple, yet why did it taste so good?

He glanced at Cheng Su. Had her cooking skills improved so much over the past month?

Seeing that it was the right moment, Father Qi said, "Eat and then go to sleep. You must be exhausted from rushing back like this." With that, he took his wife and returned to their room.

Mother Qi, concerned, reminded Cheng Su to make another bowl if Taiguo wasn’t full enough.

At midnight, Taiguo and Cheng Su lay side by side in their marital bed, both staring at the ceiling, the atmosphere somewhat eerie.

Taiguo broke the silence, "It was fortunate that you were decisive enough to sign the papers, otherwise my elder sister might not have made it."

Who would’ve thought that the Zhang family could be so despicable, so cruel!

Apparently, his usual good temper had made them forget that his elder sister also had brothers to support her.

"In that situation, you would have made the same decision. Your mother said that the child was also born safely. It’s better to avoid making more trouble. Don’t go too far, to save my elder sister from losing face," Cheng Su said.

Taiguo scoffed, "Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."

"Are you going to visit your elder sister tomorrow then?" Cheng Su asked.

"Of course, I will," Taiguo nodded. That was the very reason he came back.

Besides, he was looking forward to having a ’proper talk’ with Zhang Jisheng and his family!

Cheng Su uttered an "Oh," turned her body towards the wall, and said, "Then sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow, to avoid your mother saying anything."

Taiguo turned his head to look.

It was summer and hot, so they only had a thin quilt in their room, which was now draped over her waist, her curves tantalizing.

Taiguo swallowed hard and turned onto his side, resting his hand on her waist.

The body beneath his hand stiffened significantly, and she sat up abruptly, glaring at him.

Taken aback, Taiguo coughed and averted his gaze.

"What are you doing?" Full from eating, she hadn’t entertained such thoughts.

"What do you think," Taiguo responded to Cheng Su’s question, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. What else, wasn’t it obvious?

They were husband and wife!

"You are my wife!" he stated.

Cheng Su inwardly groaned. They were legally married, and for Taiguo to want to be intimate was perfectly normal, especially since he was a robust young man.

But she couldn’t!

Averting her gaze, Cheng Su said, "I... I don’t want to!"

Taiguo was stunned, studying her with a heavy look.

What did she mean by not wanting to? She didn’t want to sleep with him?

Grinding his teeth, Taiguo scoffed, "Is that right? Well, then, sleep!"

As a proud man, he lay down, back turned to her, annoyed by Cheng Su’s pretense of virtue. Fine, let her play the virtuous one!

Cheng Su was inwardly distressed but determined to maintain her boundaries; without trust, she wouldn’t sleep with him.

Looking at Taiguo’s back, she said, "I’m... not ready yet, I’m sorry."

Taiguo didn’t reply and closed his eyes. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
