The car pulled smoothly into the private underground garage. Jiang Yuanchuan leaned over to unbuckle Xu Mian’s seatbelt. Although his wife was not a great drinker, she was a very well-behaved one, remaining quietly curled up in her seat sleeping the entire way back.
His gaze swept over her flushed, slightly tipsy face, her lips that were redder and softer than usual from the alcohol, and her softly reddened earlobes. His eyes instantly turned dark and intense.
At this moment, every subtle expression on her face radiated an undefended, innocent temptation.
He had been reminiscing about their mind-melting first time together the entire drive home, feeling so hot that he had unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt long ago. Seeing her like this now made him lose all restraint. He simply reached out, cupped her cheek, and pressed his lips against hers.
Xu Mian was resting quietly in her seat when she suddenly felt as if all the air in her lungs was being sucked out.
“Jiang Yuanchuan,” she gasped.
Without opening her eyes, she knew that such a domineering and forceful intrusion could only come from Jiang Yuanchuan. She instinctively pushed against him in protest. “I can’t breathe.”
Hearing this, the man released her lips, but his kiss traveled straight down, landing once more on her slender neck.
Xu Mian raised her hands to push him away, but unexpectedly touched his solid abdomen. She tried to pull her hands back as if she had been burned, but he masterfully pinned them down, forcing her to wrap her arms around him.
Sensing that something was wrong, Xu Mian quickly opened her eyes and looked around. “Where are we? I want to go home.”
“We are already home. We are in the garage.”
As he spoke, the man’s large hand cupped her slender waist, his hot breath falling against her ear.
Xu Mian struggled to get out of the car, but the man pulled her back and easily lifted her onto his lap.
Xu Mian met his dark eyes filled with heavy passion. Realizing what he wanted to do, she panicked so much that she sobered up completely. “Put me down!”
To stop him from acting crazy, she gritted her teeth and reminded him, “Jiang Yuanchuan, this is the garage! We are in the car!”
Xu Mian thought this was completely absurd!
“So what?” he replied. “This is our villa’s underground garage. No one can break in here.”
As he spoke, he pressed her tightly against his chest.
Xu Mian had gone to an interview today, so she was wearing a simple and elegant dress, but right now it only made things convenient for the man to have his way with her.
Xu Mian resisted fiercely at first, but by the end, she did not even have the energy to cry. Under the man’s relentless demands, she felt exhausted down to the strands of her hair.
When the wave finally ended, Xu Mian lay limply on top of the man to catch her breath.
Even though his body had experienced the ultimate release, the man was still unsatisfied. He clasped her waist tightly and forced her to answer. “Xu Mian, say you love me.”
Xu Mian was so angry that she bit him hard on the shoulder. “Jiang Yuanchuan, you bastard!”
He had bullied her like this, and now he was forcing her to say sweet nothings!
“You won’t say it?” the man asked in a dangerous tone.
Xu Mian huffed, “I have said it countless times.”
Almost every time they made love, at the most pleasurable moment, he would force her to say she loved him. She had satisfied him countless times, telling him she loved him, that she loved him very, very much.
Why was he still not satisfied?
Why did he have to keep forcing her to say it every single time?
Because he had completely disregarded her feelings in the car this time, Xu Mian felt angry in her heart. She pursed her lips tightly and refused to speak.
As a result, she was forcefully claimed by the man once again. Xu Mian had not expected him to continue, and her voice trembled. “Jiang Yuanchuan, you are going too far!”
The man gave a wicked laugh. “We are enjoying the joy of physical intimacy together. How can this be called going too far? You cutting my heart slice by slice, that is what is truly going too far.”
Xu Mian could not out-talk him, nor could her strength match his. In the end, she could only cling to his shoulders and cry.
The man showed no tender affection for her delicate state, growing even fiercer instead.
At the very end, Xu Mian was carried upstairs by Jiang Yuanchuan. Fortunately, Jiang Yuanchuan wrapped his suit jacket around her, or else she would have been completely disheveled and exposed.
A combination of alcohol and continuous passion made Xu Mian wake up very late the next day. The scenes in the car from last night became clear in her mind. She raised her hands to cover her face in shame and anger, cursing Jiang Yuanchuan a hundred times in her heart.
After getting ready, she walked downstairs, planning to grab a bite to eat before heading out to find Su Can. However, the moment she raised her eyes, she saw Jiang Yuanchuan on the sofa.
He was lying flat on the sofa in sandalwood-black silk pajamas, radiating a silent sense of composure and nobility. Hearing the sound of her coming downstairs, the man opened his eyes and looked over.
Xu Mian was somewhat surprised and could not help asking, “Why didn’t you go to work?”
They said couples fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot. Last night’s passionate encounter had cleared away the previous tension between them.
“My stomach hurts,” the man said, his voice sounding a bit weak.
Xu Mian was deeply worried and quickly walked over, reaching out to touch his forehead gently. “Do you have a fever?”
Jiang Yuanchuan had a history of running a fever during gastritis flare-ups, and he had even needed intravenous drips for several days back then.
“No fever.”
The man took the opportunity to grab her hand, rubbing it in his palm.
He was always like this. Whenever he saw her, he had to have some physical contact with her. When there were no outsiders around, he would hold her completely in his arms. On occasions with outsiders, because she was shy and would not let him hold her, he had to hold her hand.
Sometimes Xu Mian really found this annoying. A grown man, no longer young, and they had been married for several years. Outside, he was still an unattainable titan, yet why was he like a young man who had just started dating, always clinging and holding hands?
Remembering his various outrageous actions last night, she could not help saying angrily, “Your stomach hurts, yet you still acted like that last night?”
Even though they had been married for five years and had a daughter together, Xu Mian still found it difficult to speak about these things. It was mainly because he was too terrible, always trying out new tricks.
She changed the subject and asked, “Did you not eat dinner last night?”
Xu Mian had long figured out his temper. When they argued last night and she did not come home for dinner, he definitely would not have eaten on his own.
She heard Jiang Yuanchuan answer truthfully, “I was in no mood to eat.”
Xu Mian was so angry she did not know what to say. Realizing it was almost noon, she continued to ask him, “You didn’t eat breakfast this morning either?”
The man did not speak, but his gaze toward her held a bit more guilt.
Xu Mian angrily pulled her hand back. “Didn’t the housekeeper make it?”
They had a dedicated housekeeper who handled their three meals a day. She left as soon as the food was prepared and did not live with them, so she did not disturb their daily life.
Therefore, there was definitely breakfast available, but he chose not to eat it. He was always like this, taking no care of his health.
The man struggled to sit up and wrapped his arms tightly around her slender waist. “I felt unwell as soon as I came downstairs. I originally wanted to rest on the sofa for a bit before eating breakfast, but I was in too much discomfort to get up.”
Jiang Yuanchuan’s stomach was indeed uncomfortable, but it was not nearly as serious as he claimed. He simply wanted to play the pity card so Xu Mian would feel sorry for him.
The man’s words were an explanation, but they also sounded very much like he was acting spoiled, especially as he buried his face in her neck and rubbed against her. Xu Mian’s heart instantly softened.
“I will go warm up breakfast. Eat a little and then take your medicine quickly.”
After Xu Mian finished speaking, she removed his hands, stood up, and went to the kitchen. Behind her, the man contentedly sank back into the sofa.
She worried about him, cared about him, and had her heart and eyes completely filled with him, so nothing hurt anymore.
