CEO’s Little Wife 24
Qiao Yu felt somewhat uneasy inside. He nervously pinched the hem of his clothes and asked tentatively again.
“Mr. Shen, are you going to hit me?”
Shen Yan still did not answer him. The car had already slowed as it drove into the courtyard. When it finally came to a complete stop, Shen Yan quickly unfastened his seatbelt, got out of the car, and went to the passenger seat to open the door.
“Mr. Shen, can you go a little easier on me?”
“Shut up.”
Shen Yan raised his hand and covered Qiao Yu’s mouth, which kept spouting nonsense and was getting more and more infuriating. He quickly unfastened his seatbelt, then hoisted him onto his shoulder again and strode into the house.
When they came back, Aunt Zhou was still waiting in the dining room for them to come eat. As soon as she heard the door open, she immediately rushed out cheerfully to greet them.
But just as she was about to say, “You’re back,” she saw Shen Yan carrying Qiao Yu upstairs without even changing his shoes, and his expression did not look very good.
What happened? Could they have had a fight?
Aunt Zhou was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after them. When she reached the bedroom door, she suddenly stopped, then leaned out to press her ear against the door and listen in.
What business did an outsider have meddling in a young couple’s fight? She would just listen. If she heard Qiao Yu calling for help, she would go in then.
Unfortunately, she would not hear Qiao Yu calling for help, and she could not even go in to rescue him, because Shen Yan had locked the door.
The bed at home was soft enough that Shen Yan could safely throw him onto it this time without holding back his strength.
“Mr. Shen, can you not hit my face? My ear is already bad, and the other one could easily go deaf too.”
Qiao Yu really did not want to end up completely unable to hear.
Shen Yan was truly both angry and heartbroken now. He was angry because Qiao Yu had neither heart nor brains, and the things he said could make him want to cough up blood from rage.
But the content of what he said also made Shen Yan ache unbearably. Qiao Yu’s ears had become Shen Yan’s constant worry ever since the two of them got together.
“I said I wouldn’t hit you.”
Shen Yan’s words briefly put Qiao Yu at ease, but just as he let out a breath of relief, he heard what Shen Yan said next.
“But didn’t you say I’m a pervert? I’m a man who commits domestic violence. I never keep my word.”
Qiao Yu: ?
Are you proud of that?
01: …
『Good luck, Fish Baby. I can’t save you.』
The moment he thought about how the original host in the original novel had been physically and mentally tormented by the male lead, Qiao Yu instantly felt his vision go dark, and phantom pain had already started.
Looks like my good days are over.
When someone grabbed his wrist and pulled him into their arms, Qiao Yu kept his eyes closed the whole time. His thick lashes trembled slightly, and even his lips had gone pale, as if he were really afraid that Shen Yan would hit him.
Shen Yan felt a little softhearted. The dense ache and itch coming from his heart gnawed at him like ants.
He wanted to cup Qiao Yu’s face and tell him that he would not hit him, that he loved him too much to do that.
But the moment he thought about what he had just seen, he could not help wanting to tie him up with soft silk and tell him that being so heartless came at a price.
“Mr. Shen, my hand hurts.”
When Qiao Yu lifted his head and spoke softly, Shen Yan almost instinctively loosened the grip he had on Qiao Yu’s hand. Guilt and worry instinctively rose up, and when Shen Yan realized it, he wanted to stab himself.
Clearly, in both reason and feeling, this matter was not his fault at all. So why was he feeling guilty?
“When Lu Huai treats you like this, doesn’t it stop hurting?”
Shen Yan’s voice was laced with cold sarcasm and mockery. His fingers loosely held Qiao Yu’s slender waist, and as he spoke, he even slowly slipped them further under the slightly lifted hem of his clothes.
“Hmm?”
Qiao Yu’s waist and back were very sensitive. When Shen Yan stroked him, it brought a rush of heat that he could not bear. In just a few moments, Qiao Yu could no longer support himself against Shen Yan’s chest. He went limp and buried his head in Shen Yan’s neck.
“Mr. Shen.”
Qiao Yu perhaps did not know how to answer. His softened voice carried a trembling whimper, like a cat in heat, calling out again and again.
“Ah–!”
Maybe dissatisfied that Qiao Yu kept calling out without answering, Shen Yan raised his hand and slapped Qiao Yu on the bottom. Even through the not-too-thick clothing, he did not immediately move his palm away. Instead, he stayed there and gave it a pinch.
“You–!”
Qiao Yu was left a little dazed by that. He shrank back and glared at him, apparently never expecting Shen Yan to hit his bottom.
“Bastard…”
The little brat who could not even curse properly was now calling someone else a bastard. Qiao Yu’s ear looked as if it had been thrown into boiling water and scalded through, so red it was almost dripping blood.
Qiao Yu could not see behind him, so he could only reach both hands back to his waist and fumble around, his body still retreating nonstop as if he were trying to escape Shen Yan’s embrace.
But their strength and body size were completely out of proportion. No matter how Qiao Yu struggled, all Shen Yan had to do was reach out and give a light pull.
“What did I tell you? What are you supposed to do at school?”
If he could not escape, then he would just take his punishment.
Qiao Yu drooped his eyes and brows and simply stopped talking. When Shen Yan pulled him, he leaned back in a hopeless, boneless way, looking as though he could do whatever he wanted to do.
“I’m asking you a question.”
Qiao Yu closed his eyes, clearly acting as if he were going to sleep and had no intention of answering. If there were ever a person perfectly suited to angering someone to death without paying the price, it was Qiao Yu.
Shen Yan laughed in exasperation. His hand loosened, and Qiao Yu sank completely into the soft blanket.
Shen Yan straightened up and tugged at his tie twice before tossing it aside casually. Then he lifted Qiao Yu’s chin and quickly leaned down to kiss him.
The moment he took off his tie, Shen Yan had thought about tying Qiao Yu up.
But when he thought of Qiao Yu’s precious skin and how he turned soft as mud after just a little kissing, he rejected that idea.
If he tied Qiao Yu up, those snow-white wrists would be marked with seductive red traces in less than three seconds. The image was very beautiful to imagine, but Shen Yan did not like it, because Qiao Yu would hurt.
Qiao Yu could not catch his breath, and he still would not resist. Shen Yan had already discovered that last time.
When he kissed, Qiao Yu always opened his mouth, revealing a small tip of bright red tongue, blankly letting Shen Yan kiss him.
Every so often, Shen Yan would pull away for a little while to let him breathe. Sometimes even after they separated, Qiao Yu would forget to inhale, and Shen Yan had to pinch his chin and softly remind him in his ear before he would suddenly suck in a breath.
“What did I tell you about what to do at school?”
Shen Yan pressed on relentlessly, but Qiao Yu’s mind had turned to mush. He lifted his head and gave a soft whimper, as if trying to avoid the question.
“Forgot?”
Qiao Yu really wanted to say that he had not forgotten, but his mind was too dazed to remember it for the moment.
But Shen Yan seemed very dissatisfied. Avoiding the ear with the cochlear implant, he slowly opened his mouth and bit down on Qiao Yu’s already completely deaf right earlobe.
“Mm…!”
Qiao Yu’s body instinctively trembled violently for a moment. He reached out to cover his fragile ear, but just as he was about to touch it, a larger hand caught his and pressed it back down onto the bed.
