Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Anger

A man angered into fury could indeed be a tad dangerous, and though Qin Jiran was truly embarrassed, he clearly didn’t want to admit it. Seeing that changing the subject was not going to work, he decided to fight poison with poison!

Qin Jiran took several steps forward, immediately highlighting the height difference between them. Standing at 1.85 meters tall, in contrast to Su Yanyi’s 1.7 meters, their proximity made the height disparity seem a little oppressive, especially when Qin Jiran intentionally exuded an imposing aura. The hint of danger caused Su Yanyi to arch an eyebrow.

Su Yanyi was certainly not afraid, but rather quite interested in seeing what this man intended to do.

"Yanyi, it’s getting late. If you’re not going back to your room, do you intend to sleep here with me?" Qin Jiran emphasized the word "sleep" heavily, as if trying to convey to Su Yanyi that he was, after all, a man, and not to be too complacent about him!

Qin Jiran never considered himself a gentleman. He just didn’t dare to harbor too many blasphemous thoughts because he was too in love. But a man, after all, is a man, and there are times when control eludes him. Although he still had control for now, he wasn’t entirely rational. The various changes throughout the evening had already made him a bit abnormal, and now being teased like this, he certainly couldn’t just surrender without a fight.

Su Yanyi’s surprised expression was quite obvious, but it lasted only a moment. Then, with a hint of intrigue, she provocatively said, "What? Are you eager to experience the true life of a married couple now?"

Su Yanyi was a bit of a neat freak; she had always disliked being touched, whether before or after marriage, and her private life was exceedingly simple. But this certainly didn’t mean she was ignorant of anything. Qin Jiran’s words were so laden with implication that if she didn’t understand his meaning, she would be quite foolish.

And faced with the man’s seemingly challenging words, Su Yanyi naturally wouldn’t choose to back down. She wasn’t the kind of girl who blushed at the slightest tease; moreover, Qin Jiran had seen her at her most embarrassed and candid in her previous life, so she was hardly going to be frightened by such talk now.

Besides, compared to being shy herself, Su Yanyi preferred to make Qin Jiran feel shy. The sight of a man with a touch of bashful annoyance was quite charming, even exuding a sensual allure.

However, Qin Jiran was clearly not as experienced as Su Yanyi. The first and only woman he liked or even loved was Su Yanyi. From then on, his eyes and heart could no longer accommodate any other women, let alone interact with them. At most, his contact with other women was limited to when he worked on set, but then he would be completely focused on his work without any other feelings involved. Especially now, he was not facing just any woman, but the one his heart longed for. Being teased like this, he truly didn’t know how to respond.

Qin Jiran’s ear tips turned even redder, and combined with his effort to appear calm, it made Su Yanyi burst into laughter. This suddenly broke the somewhat ambiguous atmosphere from just a moment ago, causing Qin Jiran, while relieved, to also feel a little bit of disappointment.

"Yanyi, no more joking around, go and get some rest. Tomorrow morning I’ll make your favorite xiaolongbao with mushroom and chicken filling," Qin Jiran tried to act more at ease; he definitely didn’t want Yanyi to misunderstand him as a lecher.

Su Yanyi’s eyes brightened, seemingly quite tempted, but she wasn’t quite ready to let Qin Jiran off the hook so easily, especially since he had dared to tease her just now. Not taking revenge was not in her nature.

Su Yanyi was somewhat petty, or one might say she remembered every score to settle, but of course, in this context, that phrase was not suitable. It was better described as a sense of fun.

Su Yanyi’s eyes moved slightly, her sly expression fleeting. With a large step forward, she was now extremely close to Qin Jiran, so near that she could even feel each other’s breath.

It was a clear, refreshing scent, characteristic of this man, and also one she was quite familiar with. In her past life when she was muddled and lost, this scent had already been deeply etched in her heart. Not noticing when it was absent, but now that she smelled it again, it made Su Yanyi feel a tinge of warmth in her heart.

How could this man be so foolish? In her past life, she had clearly loathed this man, her disdain obvious and unmasked. At the time of their divorce, she had been utterly unfeeling, yet this man had foolishly taken care of her after she became vegetative. To get the Su family’s approval, he stayed up nights on end by her side, learning from professional nurses how to care for her, utilizing all sorts of channels to study about vegetative states, until he could all but claim the title of a doctor. Reflecting on it now, she didn’t even know what to say about this man.

"If you want it, I won’t refuse. We are husband and wife," Su Yanyi blurted out impulsively, but once the words were out, she didn’t feel any regret.

She truly wasn’t sure if she loved this man, feeling it might be more gratitude instead, but since she had decided to live a good life with him and be a real husband and wife, she would keep her promise and become a true married couple, in name and reality.

As for intimate contact, she neither anticipated it nor rejected it.

Qin Jiran’s initial reaction was confusion, not even grasping the meaning of Su Yanyi’s words, but he quickly caught on, his expression a mix of shock and delight, yet mostly, even after realizing, it remained confused.

Qin Jiran didn’t immediately ask why Su Yanyi would make such a sudden decision. Instead, he earnestly observed her expression. Su Yanyi’s face showed a trace of resolve, but more than that, it was calm and composed, like someone who had made a decision she wouldn’t regret, but one that seemed utterly unconnected to emotion.

This realization quickly sobered Qin Jiran, filling him with some disappointment and a touch of embarrassment.

"If you don’t want to, then why say such things? I was only joking. I absolutely did not mean any offense. Don’t misunderstand me," Qin Jiran tried very hard to control the tone and volume of his voice, striving to keep his words from sounding too harsh. However, the undeniable anger and hurt in his voice were easily felt by Su Yanyi, which, to her surprise, also sparked a flicker of irritation!

What was this man getting at? Didn’t he like her? Then why was he speaking to her in that tone? Why was he so angry about her suggestion? Did he not want her, or was it that he had some physical issue and literally couldn’t?

Countless thoughts flashed through Su Yanyi’s mind in a moment, her complexion uncontrollably changing with them.
