Chapter 190: Chapter 190: She’s Pregnant and Scheduled for an Abortion

Upon hearing this, Qiao Rui’s eyelashes trembled lightly twice.

She indeed took the man’s affections to heart, but his outright demand left her feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

So, Qiao Rui didn’t respond to his question and stood up straighter in response.

Pei Liyan noticed her lowering her gaze, a flicker of light in his eyes, and he reminded her aloud, "We are husband and wife now."

Qiao Rui trembled again, looking at the man, eyes filled with complex emotions.

He just gazed deeply at the girl.

Qiao Rui also looked back at him, confusion added to her gaze.

Pei Liyan watched her, waiting.

Qiao Rui had no choice but to speak up, "I know, you mean you want me to adapt to the responsibilities and duties of being your wife."

The man’s eyes flashed with admiration, it was easier dealing with a smart girl without having to say much.

He didn’t skimp on his praise, saying, "Smart girl."

Qiao Rui glanced around his room, spotting the entrance to the walk-in closet, and said, "So should I go to the closet now to fetch your loungewear?"

"Yes!" Pei Liyan nodded. "I’m going to shower now, find me clothes first, and I’ll change after I’m out!"

"Oh!" Qiao Rui really found this strange, suddenly doing all these things made her feel quite uncomfortable.

As she was about to fetch his clothes, her wrist was caught by Pei Liyan.

His hand was very strong, the skin of his palm touching her wrist, sending a current through her as if electrifying her entire body.

His voice, sexy and husky, then asked, "Join me for the shower?"

Her mind buzzed as if about to explode.

Qiao Rui felt her brain go blank, her cheeks flushed with a pale pink.

She exclaimed in embarrassment, "I just took a shower, no need to take another!"

"Is that so?" Pei Liyan feigned disappointment. "Suddenly I don’t feel like showering alone, truly not joining me?"

Qiao Rui shook her head.

Of course, she wouldn’t accompany him.

Showering was now something to accompany someone with?

Was he some kind of pervert?

She looked at him as if he were a pervert, only to be pulled into his embrace.

Her slender waist was clasped by his arm, her entire body pressed against his, immediately feeling the hardness of his physique.

She instinctively stiffened her spine, her hands resting against his chest.

His breath was on her forehead, tickling her.

And the man’s body pressed against hers seemed to undergo some noticeable changes.

Suddenly, Qiao Rui felt her mouth go dry.

The man’s enchanting eyes, magnetic, drew in her gaze, bewitching her senses.

He leaned his face closer.

Then, Qiao Rui heard him say, "If you won’t join me for the shower, how about a kiss instead?"

A kiss is just a kiss, why does he have to make it sound so awkward?

Before Qiao Rui could respond, the man’s handsome face moved closer.

Their lips nearly touched.

Pei Liyan’s eyes shimmered, a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice, he asked, "Qiao Rui, am I not good enough? Are you so unwilling to give yourself to me?"

"No!" she shook her head. "To be honest, you’re great in every aspect, but I’m afraid you’ll regret it later, so I want to give you ample time to think it through."

"Give me time?" Pei Liyan raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing Qiao Rui’s reason, seeing it merely as an excuse.

Qiao Rui nodded fiercely. "Yes, give you enough time to think, what if you regret it?"

Pei Liyan’s eyes turned cold, "I won’t regret it."

Qiao Rui forced a smile, then said, "I also want to take some time to think things through clearly, it’s being responsible to you and to myself, don’t you think?"

"Is that so?" Pei Liyan scoffed, "Although your words seem noble, I still feel you’re not being sincere."

Qiao Rui’s eyes tightened, flickering, she averted her gaze, her face turning even redder.

"But Qiao Rui, don’t forget I’m a normal man." His voice was hoarse as he continued, "If my body becomes unhealthy from being pent up for too long, I won’t be able to make more money, and then something like bringing in eight hundred million won’t be so easy anymore."

Qiao Rui’s face reddened further, staring at the man in shock.

He could actually say such things, truly turning Qiao Rui’s perception of him on its head.

Was this the Pei Liyan she knew?

"I understand what you mean." Qiao Rui gathered her courage, "But I’ve just taken your money today, now if I shower with you, and continue with... that, it feels like our relationship isn’t pure, you don’t want to mix more monetary transactions into it, do you?"

"That’s a separate matter, what does it have to do with marital duties?" Pei Liyan retorted.

"Of course it matters, I don’t want them to be mixed!" Qiao Rui replied, "I just don’t want to feel like it’s a transaction."

"But all this seems to me like your excuses to reject me, even if I open my heart to you, you still don’t trust me." He said softly, then let go of her, gave her a deep look, and turned away to enter the bathroom.

Qiao Rui stood there, stunned.

She watched him enter the bathroom without looking back, feeling a suffocating sensation in her heart and a touch of daze in her demeanor.

By the time the sound of running water came from the bathroom, Qiao Rui came back to her senses and walked into the walk-in closet.

His closet was in black, white, and gray tones, with gray material and black and white furniture that looked both sleek and upscale.

Clothes hung neatly inside, and shoes and watches were all arranged tidily, like on a display, not only in a vast variety, but also with more brand names.

The entire walk-in closet was indeed luxurious, spanning fifty square meters.

She spotted where the loungewear was placed, walked over, picked out a set, just about to leave, when she suddenly saw boxers next to the loungewear.

She hesitated, wondering whether to grab underwear for him.

It seemed inappropriate to go straight to wearing the loungewear pants without it.

But doing so felt awkward.

Qiao Rui found herself in turmoil, struggling for a while, but she didn’t pick it up.

At that moment, the phone rang.

She grabbed the phone as though she had been pardoned and saw the call was from Qi Yun.

She answered immediately.

"Hello, what’s up?"

Qi Yun generally didn’t make this call unless it was important.

"Young Master, Miss Song is pregnant!" Qi Yun spoke softly.

From the sounds of it, she seemed to be in the hospital, for Qiao Rui could hear the numbers being called out in the background.

It was six in the evening, still at the hospital, and pregnant?

Qiao Rui was shocked, without doubt, the child must belong to Song Xun.

"Miss Song doesn’t want me to tell you, but I think, you should know about this," Qi Yun was Qiao Rui’s subordinate, and timely reporting to her mistress was part of her duty. "She has an abortion appointment scheduled for ten tomorrow morning."
