False Love, True Marriage

Chapter 26 - Cardiac acceleration

"You damned child, jealous of your own wife."

Wen Hui raised her head and looked at Qi Yuan Ming's handsome face that angered even the gods. She helped her prepare the food without any expression, so much that her plate was almost full.

In's eyes, she knew very well what kind of person her son was. If not for his heart, how could he be like this?

"Mom, you eat too."

Wen Hui transferred all the dishes Qi Yuan Ming gave her into Lin Xiu Hui's bowl as he smiled slyly. She didn't want to be eaten by a fatty.

The three of them had a blissful meal, at least from the perspective of outsiders, they looked like an imitation of Qi Yuan Ming and his wife.

After finishing dinner, Lin Xiu Hui went upstairs for lunch break. In the afternoon, she even invited a few of her friends over to the opera house.

After saying that, he would still look at her with that ambiguous gaze. Suddenly, Wen Hui remembered that Qi Yuan Ming had mentioned that his mother-in-law would discuss the matter with her before, and he couldn't help but blush.

Actually, she was already full, but she didn't dare to leave before the man said anything. She realized that she had been listening to his every word and gesture, but her original intention wasn't to be scared of him. Instead, she wanted to be obedient from the bottom of her heart.

Qi Yuan Ming put down his chopsticks and saw her staring blankly at him, so he picked up his chopsticks and added another piece of meat onto her, and almost subconsciously said, "Mom already went upstairs, so you don't need to help me pick up any more dishes."

With that, she regretted it, especially after seeing the man's dark green complexion. The appearance of a storm was truly terrifying.

"You think I was pretending just now?"

Seeing that Wen Hui did not dare to retort back, the anger on Qi Yuan Ming's face became even stronger, she snorted and threw the chopsticks on the table heavily, making a sound. Even the kitchen's auntie stuck her head out to see what was happening, and quickly retracted her head.

It was not that she didn't want to explain, but she realized that her words were pale. She wanted to say that their love was not an act, but that she did not dare to retort in a righteous manner, lest he get angry.

She sat in her chair for a long time, her thin eyebrows almost knotted together, thinking about what to do, and ten minutes later she made a bold decision.

The third floor was so quiet that the sound of needles hitting the ground could be heard. Her movements were no longer restricted. The third floor was originally a forbidden zone to her, but now she had free access.

She felt a deep sense of defeat when she looked at the tightly shut door. A minute later, she knocked on the door, but she did not hear anything coming from inside.

Had she guessed wrongly that he was not in the study? She moved to leave.

"Come in."

Qi Yuan Ming was seated on a golden sofa, his eyes staring straight at the woman at the door, "What are you doing here?"

Wen Hui placed a plate of sliced fruits on the table, thinking that this man was really petty, and loved to hold grudges, "Eating some fruits after dinner is better for my stomach."

She didn't dare to raise her head. She could only stand at a distance away from him. She was prepared to put down the fruit and leave.

Who knew that the gloomy man only took two steps before she said, "Come here."

It was a simple word, but she didn't dare to move it.

Wen Hui hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards him, right when she was beside him, she was pulled by a force, the man's big hands pulled her by her wrists, causing her to fall down into his embrace. She had never been this close to him before, but she suddenly lost her balance, and did not know where to put her hands.

"What's there to be nervous about? It's not like I'm going to eat you. "

Wen Hui did not dare to look at her, the thigh under her butt was extremely hard. It was no wonder her mother-in-law said that he did not need to worry about becoming fat, transforming muscles into fat would require a long process. If he were to punch her now, she would probably need several months to get up.

Qi Yuan Ming saw that the woman who was still very nervous just a moment ago was absent-minded again as she pinched her small chin in dissatisfaction. Wen Hui was forced to raise her head to meet the man's deep eyes.

The corner of the man's mouth curled up into an excited smile. The big hand that was originally fixed at her waist suddenly pressed onto her chest.

The man continued to look at her white, red, and blue face and thought it was very funny, "Your normal heartbeat is 80 to 120 a minute, and your heart is 150. Why did you jump so fast? "Hmm?"

Her heart was indeed thumping, as if it was about to jump out of her body.

Wen Hui was unable to say anything, her chest was extremely hot as if his hand was a hot potato, she really wanted to take off his hand. No one had ever dared to touch such an awkward position, the skin contact between a man and a woman was unfamiliar to her.

However, she subconsciously did not dislike Qi Yuan Ming's approach, and was only opposed to it due to her rationality.

The man had been looking at her face from start to finish, and was about to kiss her when she got closer, but he was interrupted by a ringing sound. Wen Hui's heart, which was originally in suspense, was now heavily pressed onto the ground, and it was hard to tell whether he was feeling a little more disappointed or angry.

Qi Yuan Ming released the hand that was restraining her, and immediately jumped out from his encirclement, "I'll be going out first."

The man still maintained his position of listening to the phone calls. He didn't seem to mind Wen Hui's departure, but after the door closed, the color in the man's eyes became deeper.

He dialed the phone on the table, closed his eyes and listened to the report, "Young Master, everything has been arranged according to your orders. Those old men from the company just called my phone, it seems like they can't hold it in anymore."

Qi Yuan Ming opened his eyes suddenly, and there was a faint smile on his lips, "Why don't we make it big, the bigger the fun, if we fish we have to bait them, otherwise we won't be able to catch their attention."

"That's enough. You can tell me the latest news tomorrow."

The man tapped his fingers against the armrest, and the playful smile slowly faded. He held his forehead and closed his eyes as if he was extremely tired.

After exiting the study, Wen Hui leaned against the wall of the corridor, her right hand pressing on his heart, she was beating extremely quickly, and could not stop for a long time. She raised her head to look at the lamp at the end of the corridor, which was flickering with light and looking as agitated as her heart, and recalled the scene where she almost kissed her inside the room, her cheeks burning hot.
