The man slammed his chopsticks heavily on the table.

The maids serving nearby were terrified and lowered their heads. Even Jiang Dong was very nervous.

Qiao Wanwan was startled. "Why did you suddenly get angry? How am I supposed to get along with you like this?"

Zhan Jingting closed his eyes, said nothing, and left.

Qiao Wanwan ignored him, finished her breakfast, went back to her room to take a shower, and lay down to catch up on her sleep.

She was indeed careless last night; she never expected the other party to use such a sinister trick as drugging her.

Once she finds out who's behind this, she'll definitely get her revenge!

......

In the study next door, Zhan Jingting felt a tightness in his chest, unable to vent his frustration.

He held a document in his hand and looked at it for half an hour without turning a single page.

After a long silence, the man finally couldn't help but speak, "Where is Madam? Aren't you going to apologize to me?"

Standing to the side, barely daring to breathe, Jiang Dong stammered, "Madam... seems to have gone to sleep..."

"Smack!"

Zhan Jingting tossed the documents in his hand onto the desk. "How can she sleep?"

Jiang Dong swallowed hard, startled. "Master Zhan, it seems Madam has no idea what's making you angry..."

Zhan Jingting's handsome face was ashen, and he suddenly grabbed his hair in anguish.

"Master Zhan, you're having an attack!" Jiang Dong said hurriedly. "I'll go fetch Madam!"

Qiao Wanwan was fast asleep when she was startled awake by a series of urgent knocks on the door. Just as she was about to question him, she heard Jiang Dong's anxious voice, "Madam, something terrible has happened! Master Zhan has fallen ill! You must go and see him right away!"

Qiao Wanwan suddenly stood up, took out silver needles from the bedside table drawer, and ran to the next room without even putting on slippers.

The man behind the desk looked pained. Qiao Wanwan hurriedly went to his side. "Zhan Jingting, hang in there. I'll give you acupuncture right away."

The next second, her wrist was grabbed, and before she could react, she was thrown into the man's arms.

"What are you doing?" Qiao Wanwan looked at him, her face normal, and she wasn't sweating; she was clearly faking it. "You're lying to me! You... um..."

She had barely opened her mouth when the man's handsome face suddenly loomed large, and his thin lips sealed hers.

Qiao Wanwan's words caught in her throat as she felt a current surge through her body from their pressed lips.

Qiao Wanwan stared wide-eyed, her hands trembling, unsure how to react.

The man closed his eyes, one arm around her slender waist, the other cupping the back of her head, deepening the kiss.

Qiao Wanwan felt all her strength being drained away by the man with every breath, and her heart was beating so fast it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest!

The man would sometimes plunder, sometimes slow down, giving her room to breathe, and would remind her in a deep voice, "Breathe."

Qiao Wanwan suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly pushed open his chest. Although she couldn't escape his embrace, she managed to end the kiss.

The girl's face turned so red it looked like it could bleed. "What are you doing?"

"I'm kissing you, can't you feel it?"

Qiao Wanwan was both embarrassed and angry. "Who gave you permission to kiss me by force!"

"I'm your husband, what's wrong with me kissing you?"

"...But I have to agree first!"

"You really enjoyed that."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"!!

"Pah! Who enjoyed that!"

The man changed his tune, saying, "I enjoyed it."

The moment he kissed her, the resentment in his heart miraculously vanished.

Qiao Wanwan glared at him angrily, "You pretended to be sick on purpose to trick me into coming here, and then you forcibly kissed me!"

"You made me angry first."

"What did I do to make you angry?"

"You don't have the awareness to be a war wife."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

She belatedly realized, "Just because I said I'd pay you back?"

"Um."

Qiao Wanwan blurted out, "But I think it's the right thing to do."

The man's gaze darkened, and without a word, he kissed her again...

"Ugh..." Qiao Wanwan was going crazy because she could clearly feel that this kiss was even more intense than the previous one!

"Zhan...Zhan Jingting, you...don't..." Qiao Wanwan struggled to break free, but the man seemed determined and wouldn't let her move at all.

The physical strength difference between the man and woman was too great, and Qiao Wanwan was unable to break free. She could only endure his domineering kiss.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but when she felt like she was about to drown in the man's arms, he finally let go of her.

Qiao Wanwan took deep breaths of fresh air, feeling a sense of rebirth.

Zhan Jingting looked at her intently, "Do you know where you went wrong?"

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

So that kiss just now was a punishment for her?

That man is absolutely despicable!

"Madam Zhan, you haven't answered my question yet," the man pressed.

Qiao Wanwan almost rolled her eyes. "Okay."

Tell me about it.

"I shouldn't have said I'd pay you back, and I shouldn't have been so formal with you."

Zhan Jingting opened his desk drawer, took out a black card, and put it in Qiao Wanwan's hand. "Take it, spend it however you like."

Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Is this the black card that the domineering male lead in novels gives to the female lead?"

Zhan Jingting: "......"

"We are living in real life, not in a novel."

"Okay, okay, I misspoke again." Qiao Wanwan was afraid that he would kiss her again, otherwise her lips would be swollen from being kissed so much!

Zhan Jingting noticed she was wearing pajamas. "You really went to sleep?"

"I feel a little dizzy and my stomach hurts a bit."

"It must be a side effect of the drug. I'll sleep with you."

"No...is that alright?"

The man narrowed his eyes slightly. "I took care of you at the hospital all night last night, and you won't even let me catch up on some sleep?"

Qiao Wanwan swallowed hard. "Yes, of course I'll let you have it!"

The two returned to the master bedroom, and Qiao Wanwan was quickly pulled into the man's arms.

In fact, she felt that she was a traditional girl at heart and was not used to contacting men, and even resisted it.

But now, whether it's because Zhan Jingting is her first man or because they are already married, she doesn't seem to resist his touch.

Whether it's a hug or a kiss, she's nervous, but she doesn't resist.

Qiao Wanwan was quite surprised, after all, the body's reaction doesn't lie.

"What are you thinking about?" the man's deep voice suddenly rang out. "If you can't sleep, we can do something more meaningful."
