Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Being Emotional Because of Care

Qiao Rui coldly lowered her gaze, completely ignoring Pei Liyan’s command.

She lifted her leg and walked away, preparing to leave the room.

This successfully provoked Pei Liyan’s anger, and he said sternly, "Where are you going?"

"It’s none of your business!" Qiao Rui replied indifferently.

"Do you want to infuriate me completely?"

Qiao Rui looked up at him, her contemptuous attitude causing Pei Liyan’s brow to furrow again.

"Pei Liyan, is there any point?" Qiao Rui coldly countered.

"Ha!" Pei Liyan laughed too, resigned to being angered by her repeatedly.

There weren’t many people in the world who could make him so angry.

He asked himself, what was going on?

Why was he so jealous?

Just thinking about how her first time wasn’t with him, he felt so suffocated it was nearly unbearable.

"Ha!" He scoffed again, his smile lonely as he murmured softly, "There’s really no point."

Qiao Rui was taken aback, meeting his desolate expression and faltering slightly.

She was surprised, did her first time matter so much to him?

But what about himself?

Men liked double standards.

Demanding high standards from women, but low standards for themselves.

"You don’t need to leave!" Pei Liyan started in a hoarse voice, "Liancheng is not safe. If you are seen with me, the Chen Family might target you."

Qiao Rui slightly furrowed her brow, realizing that he was concerned about her, yet he was so angry just a moment ago.

She couldn’t see through him at all, alternating between extremes – what did he really want?

She thought about everything that had happened that afternoon, his rage, his arbitrary punishment, and humiliation.

Qiao Rui pursed her lips, her voice sounding strained, "Thank you for the reminder, but I still want to go out."

"Are you angry?" Pei Liyan looked down at her, his gaze deep as if harboring myriad emotions, finally ending in a long sigh.

She wanted to leave, disregarding everything, struggling and resisting so freely, the message was so clear.

She thought she wasn’t wrong.

After a long silence, Qiao Rui finally said, "I guess I don’t have the right to be angry in your eyes, do I?"

"Indeed, I actually thought so before you brought it up," Pei Liyan admitted candidly.

"Qiao Rui, emotions exist because there’s care," Pei Liyan looked at her. "Frankly speaking, aside from my jealousy, the experience this afternoon was perfect."

Her brow furrowed.

"What do you mean?"

"It means that being together brings pleasure."

"Pleasure that culminates in a fight?" Qiao Rui said sarcastically.

"Yes, there was a fight!" he tugged at his lip, implying something, "The fiercer the fight, the more thrilling. That gnawing pain can be very exciting."

Qiao Rui was speechless, never expecting a man to say such things.

Pei Liyan still looked at her, "I have to admit, the physical chemistry between us is extremely high; you drive me crazy!"

Qiao Rui blushed at his words, her lips trembling as she cursed, "Pervert!"

Pei Liyan’s voice was calm and deep, "Even if it’s not perfect, I still can’t deny that you drive me mad and make me overlook these flaws."

Qiao Rui frowned, shouting indignantly, "Pei Liyan, are you sick?"

Pei Liyan didn’t respond, just gave a bitter smile.

Probably.

He felt like he was sick.

But, he also didn’t know exactly what was wrong.

"So, Qiao Rui, as our marriage persists, I’ll still touch you."

Qiao Rui’s expression changed, her fair and rosy face framed by arched brows, she watched him in astonishment, her red lips vibrant, embodying an indescribable charisma, very proud and spirited.

Very beautiful.

After a pause, Qiao Rui spoke again, "Pei Liyan, are you trying to have it both ways?"

The man’s brow furrowed, he should have been furious, but he forced it down. "Don’t you have needs too?"

Qiao Rui pursed her lips and said, "You were a pretty good partner initially, but your actions today disgusted me, I think it’ll be hard to accept you again."

Her rejection didn’t surprise him.

He just tugged at his lip. "I can give you time!"

A flicker of surprise quickly crossed Qiao Rui’s cold, dark eyes.

Pei Liyan had already walked toward the door. "You don’t have to go out; I will. Letting a woman face danger is not something I, Pei Liyan, would do."

Watching the man’s figure at the door, Qiao Rui felt an inexplicable sense of desolation.

She was stunned for a while, watching this man open the door and leave.

The moment the door closed, he turned to glance at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn’t utter a single word.

Pei Liyan left.

He didn’t come back that night.

Qiao Rui didn’t know where he had gone.

She couldn’t sleep all night, feeling restless.

In the middle of the night, she sent a message to Song Muyu.

Song Muyu replied instantly: Why aren’t you sleeping yet?

Qiao Rui said: Can’t sleep, and you?

Song Muyu sent a goofy emoji: I’m thinking about you!

Qiao Rui: Thinking of me?

After sending the message, Qiao Rui felt it was too troublesome, so she simply made a phone call, and Song Muyu answered quickly in the middle of the night.

"Aren’t you afraid that Pei Liyan will find out when you call me?" Song Muyu was still worried about her.

"He went out!" Qiao Rui replied.

"Out in the middle of the night?" Song Muyu said, "Ruirui, aren’t you worried?"

Qiao Rui was taken aback. "What’s there to worry about?"

"What if he’s going to see another woman?"

"Let him, if that’s what he wants!"

"That’s not right. What happened between you two?" Song Muyu immediately sensed something was amiss, "This morning, I felt like he was pretty decent to you. His eyes were always on you. You two looked like a newlywed couple with a great relationship."

"Is it an act, okay?" Qiao Rui said irritably.

"Why are you so irritable?"

Qiao Rui rolled her eyes, "I’m not just irritable, I’m about to explode."

"What exactly happened?"

Qiao Rui hesitated for a long while. "Well, it’s that, he found out I wasn’t a virgin, then he went mad!"

"Eh!" Song Muyu gasped, "That’s difficult to handle, unless you tell him you are Rui Qing."

Qiao Rui collapsed on the bed, tugging at her lip. "How can I possibly tell him?"

"Then this misunderstanding can’t be resolved!" Song Muyu said, "After all, men inherently have this flaw. They themselves don’t know how many women they’ve been with, yet they always demand that their wives be untouched."

"Forget it, let’s not talk about it!" Qiao Rui was also annoyed, but concerned about Song Muyu’s health, she urged, "You better sleep soon, take care of your body!"

"I can’t sleep," Song Muyu smiled bitterly.

Qiao Rui discerned the undertones. "What’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing!" Song Muyu still didn’t say.

Qiao Rui knew, today was the day Song Xun got engaged, and Muyu must be feeling the worst.

After hanging up, she contacted Jiang Jinfeng to ask about Muyu’s situation.

Jiang Jinfeng said, "Earlier news came, Song Xun is staying tonight with Shen Shuyi, both are staying in Song Xun’s villa at Feng Garden in Liancheng. Hearing this, Muyu went back to her room."
