Noble Son-in-Law - Chapter 27.1

Chapter 27.1

Shen Qingqing’s younger brother Shen Wang liked to eat duck tongue very much. In contrast, Shen Qingqing had no fondness for such foods.

Therefore, when Li Zhi kissed her, Shen Qingqing experienced a sensation akin to having a piece of duck tongue forcibly placed in her mouth.

With disgust, she bit the man’s tongue hard. 

The intensity of her bite caused Li Zhi to turn abruptly. Before he could inspect the injury, Shen Qingqing exerted all her strength to push him away, exclaiming, “Leave!”

Li Zhi was taken aback by her reaction. Caught off guard, he fell to the ground.

“Go away! You are not allowed to come here again!” Shen Qingqing grabbed the gauze curtain and scolded the man through the gauze curtain.

Li Zhi didn’t feel pain from the fall, but his tongue hurt terribly. He wiped it casually, and the back of his hand was covered with blood.

At this time, Li Zhi had only a white shirt on his body and was sitting on the ground in a state of embarrassment. It truly challenged the dignity of a man.

Usually, Li Zhi always had a gentle smile, but at this moment, his eyes were full of evil.

He remained seated on the floor, motionless. 

Inside the gauze tent, although Shen Qingqing could not see the man’s face, she suddenly sensed a looming threat. ‘Now…what if he pounced on me furiously?’

The more she thought about it, the more she became frightened. Blinking back tears, she released the gauze curtain, wrapped herself in the quilt, and huddled by the bedside, beginning to cry.

In Shen Qingqing’s mind, whenever she shed a tear, her dad would jump to fulfil her wishes. She wasn’t sure if this tactic would work on Li Zhi, but hey, it was worth a shot.

She wasn’t sobbing loudly; instead, she let out soft whimpers, almost like she was the one wronged in the situation, acting like a sweet girl being picked on.

Slowly, the darkness in Li Zhi’s eyes faded, and a faint smile crept onto his face.

He realised he had underestimated how much his wife disliked him, thinking he could bulldoze his way through, but this nearly cost him his tongue.

“I’m the one who got bitten, so why are you the one crying?”

Li Zhi shifted in his seat, pulling at his coat to shield himself from his persistent brother.

Li Zhi adjusted his sitting posture and asked while tugging at the hem of his middle coat.

Shen Qingqing had a knack for reading emotions. Noticing there was no anger in Li Zhi’s tone, she felt herself relax. “Who told you to break your promise and take advantage of me?”

Li Zhi leaned back against the bed, glancing over at her. He sighed and replied, “You’re scared of pain; I’m just helping you.”

Shen Qingqing shot back. “I’d rather be hurt than see you like this!”

Having been in the business world since childhood and helping his family from a young age, Li Zhi was skilled at picking up on opportunities in conversations. He was furious when Shen Qingqing bit him, but since that was already a loss, he figured he had to gain something from it, or else it would all be for nothing. Lowering his voice, he asked, “You’d really prefer to suffer than let me kiss you?”

Without missing a beat, Shen Qingqing replied, “Absolutely!”

She would be ready to bear the pain rather than kiss the man. 

When Li Zhi heard that, he quickly pulled back the gauze curtain and dashed to the bed, throwing back Shen Qingqing’s quilt and climbing beside her. Shen Qingqing tried to squirm away, but Li Zhi pinned her down with his body. “If Miss Seven has any second thoughts, it’s already too late.”

Shen Qingqing: …

She really wasn’t in the mood to have a baby tonight, but with Li Zhi saying that it felt like she had to pick between being close or keeping her distance.

Gritting her teeth, Shen Qingqing covered her mouth with her hands and shut her eyes tight.

Li Zhi chuckled. Even though he wanted to teach her a lesson, he couldn’t help but find her adorable.

For the next fifteen minutes, Li Zhi focused on helping Shen Qingqing to relax.

She hid her face behind her hands, but soft sounds slipped through her fingers.

Li Zhi loved hearing that.

As the night went on, Shen Qingqing noticed that Li Zhi was much gentler tonight compared to the previous night, making things feel a bit more bearable.

In the middle of the night, Li Zhi wrapped his arms around her from behind again.

Shen Qingqing was so tired that she didn’t have the energy to push him away. Luckily, he didn’t try to kiss her again.

“Come on, tell me. Is there a chance I could get you pregnant this time?” Li Zhi leaned his forehead against her delicate shoulder, coaxing her to respond.

Shen Qingqing couldn’t help but think that at this moment, they looked like the most ordinary couple.

She didn’t want to reply.

“Just say it.” Li Zhi whispered in her ear.

Shen Qingqing felt a tickle and instinctively turned away.

Li Zhi gently held her face, preventing her from escaping.

“Let go,” she muttered, her breath shaky.

Li Zhi didn’t linger and quickly removed his hand, but the sudden movement pushed her back against the bed frame.

Have a nice day!
