We've been married for three months, and we've only had sex once on our wedding night, and that's it. We've only kissed once. It's hard not to feel resentful.

He stared intently at her lips, perhaps because there were no other people present, and made no attempt to hide his desire.

The three people beside Xiang Fei couldn't bear to look at him like this.

Luckily, Qiao Nansheng was making a wish with her eyes closed; otherwise, if she had seen it, she might have been slapped across the face.

She made three wishes: first, to divorce Zhou Cheng as soon as possible; second, to become extremely wealthy after the divorce; and third, to hope that Zhou Cheng would not turn to the dark side after the divorce.

Otherwise, she would have to go back to the novel "The Domineering CEO" and experience death.

After making her wish, Qiao Nansheng opened her eyes, pouted with a devout expression, and blew out the candle.

Liu Xu cheered as she cut the cake, and Zhou Cheng leaned down to whisper in her ear, "What did you wish for?"

He leaned close, and as he spoke, his lips accidentally brushed against her ear. Qiao Nansheng immediately snapped to attention and sat up straight.

"No, it's nothing," she stammered, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Qiao Nansheng was filled with remorse. Liu Xu and the others were watching, and he just... wasn't he ashamed?

"Really not?" He raised an eyebrow, staring intently at her.

Qiao Nansheng didn't dare look at him, afraid of being discovered, and vaguely said, "If you can't say your wish, it won't come true."

"Okay." He nodded, then asked one last question: "Does this concern me?"

Qiao Nansheng thought for a moment, and since all three wishes involved divorce, they were related to him, so he nodded.

Zhou Cheng was unaware of her thoughts, assuming that her wish was for a happy family and a long and lasting relationship with her, and didn't think much of it.

His smile deepened slightly as he reached out and patted Qiao Nansheng's head, as if in praise.

The group sat on the sofa watching variety shows and eating cake. It was already 10 o'clock when they finished.

Xiang Fei stood up to say goodbye to the two, and Sheng Zhuo and Liu Xu also returned to the adjacent courtyard to rest. The lively living room suddenly became quiet, leaving only the two of them.

Qiao Nansheng sat there feeling uncomfortable under Zhou Cheng's gaze, not knowing what he was looking at.

A few minutes later, she stood up and said, "Um, I'm tired, I'm going upstairs to rest, bye-bye."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran upstairs as if fleeing.

I ran so fast I forgot my phone.

So after Qiao Nansheng went upstairs, Zhong Xuelian called to ask why she hadn't gone yet, and Zhou Cheng answered the phone.

Upon hearing the question, Zhou Cheng sneered and explained in a nonchalant tone that Qiao Nansheng wouldn't be coming over tonight. Then, before Zhong Xuelian could even reply, he hung up the phone.

You actually thought about sleeping at someone else's house?

Is she that afraid of him? He noticed she was quite bold just now and didn't show any fear.

Zhou Cheng narrowed his eyes, took Qiao Nansheng's phone and went upstairs, heading straight for the master bedroom.

She didn't close the door. Zhou Cheng went in but didn't see her. Instead, he heard off-key singing coming from the bathroom.

He looked up, a strange, eerie light gleaming in his eyes.

After standing there for a while, Zhou Cheng started walking over there.

Raise your hand.

Knock knock—

The singing inside suddenly stopped.

Qiao Nansheng looked up with an embarrassed expression and saw her reflection in the glass door. Her mind went blank for a moment.

Didn't she lock the door?

"What are you doing?" Qiao Nansheng grabbed the edge of the bathtub and asked nervously, "Do you want to take a shower? There's a bathroom in the next room, go take a shower there."

Zhou Cheng leaned against the wall, glanced down at his pink-cased phone, and said lazily, "Someone just called you, asking when you're coming over."
