Taking a deep breath, I mustered my courage, looked him straight in the eye, and slowly said, "Regarding that bet from before... could we just call it off?"

As soon as I finished speaking, I clearly felt a sharp gaze shooting from the other side, which made me tremble all over.

Qin Shisheng snorted coldly, glaring at me fiercely as if she wanted to devour me alive. "I can forgive and forget about your past with Jin Buwei these past three months, but don't push your luck!"

"You used to say you thought I was dirty and that I had too many women around me! But now? Do I have a single complaint about you having too many men?"

"For you, I resolutely severed all ties with all other women. For the past three months since you left, I have been restraining my desires. What more do you want from me?"

He roared furiously, the veins on his neck bulging as if they were about to burst.

I absentmindedly stirred the steaming soup in my hand.

"Qin Shisheng, but I don't love you, and you still don't care?"

"You believe you'll fall in love with me!" he said confidently.

"And about children, right now, I simply can't get pregnant anytime soon! The reason is simple: I recently suffered a miscarriage..."

There was no need for me to hide anything!

Jin Buwei and I are married; she is his wife. Even if he doesn't love me, at least we have a legal relationship, which is perfectly legitimate.

A flash of barely concealed anger crossed his eyes. It was easy to guess that he was currently cursing Jin Buwei in his mind.

"I know! I've seen your medical records!" He suppressed his anger and tried to make his tone sound calm.

"We're not in a rush to have a baby. Let's wait until you've recovered your health!"

I stopped stirring the soup, looked directly into his eyes, and asked him seriously.

"Since that's the case, then I'll be frank with you! I'm willing to have the child through artificial insemination, but after the child is safely delivered, could you let me leave freely?"

He frowned slightly, his face showing clear displeasure. "Artificial insemination? To set you free?"

"Don't even think about it!" he said bluntly.

"I just want to do what I love! To live a carefree life!"

"If you behave, I can give you your freedom!"

He complained, "But please remember, since you lost to me, don't make so many demands."

I muttered under my breath, "You forced me to gamble!"

He glared at me sideways, his eyes blazing with anger.

He roared through gritted teeth, "So what if I force you? I've already been merciful by not forcing you to do anything!"

Faced with such an unreasonable person, I couldn't help but sigh, knowing full well that there was no way to have an effective communication with him.

I had already devised my own meticulous plan in my heart, and getting rid of him was always on my agenda.

Whether he agrees or not, it will not affect my decisions and actions.

I changed the subject. "Then I hope to be able to recuperate peacefully at my brother's place."

After a moment's thought, Qin Shisheng replied, "You're allowed to stay there for two days. I'll personally come to pick you up after two days!"

"How about a week?" I thought to myself, hoping to delay it for as long as possible.

He stood up, walked to my side, and pulled my chair forcefully, causing me to involuntarily move closer to him.

A sly smile appeared on his face as he whispered, "Give me a kiss, and I'll grant your request."

I raised my head, my gaze slowly falling on his incredibly handsome profile.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally closed her eyes and gently kissed his cheek.

Just then, he reached out his broad, warm hand and gently stroked my long, black hair that cascaded down like a waterfall.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Smiling, she said, "Okay, one week it is!"

After receiving his permission, I lowered my head and began to eat the food in front of me absentmindedly.

He clearly noticed that I was feeling down...

He occasionally glanced at me, perhaps because he had witnessed me having emotional breakdowns in front of him several times before, and he didn't want to push me too hard right now.

Now, no one can stand between us as an obstacle.

In Qin Shisheng's eyes, it was only a matter of time before he completely conquered me.

Thinking of this, he suddenly broke the silence and said enthusiastically, "Let's go to the beach for a barbecue in a couple of days!"

I asked, "Who else?"

"Qinshan and Ye Zimei, Zhibai and Jiangzhou."

I replied, "Okay!"

Qin Shisheng raised his eyebrows slightly, his deep and sharp eyes staring at me.

"Can't you be a little happier! What's with that gloomy face all the time!" His tone was full of dissatisfaction.

I replied softly, "My husband just died, it's not good to be too happy!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shisheng growled, "Husband? What is he? A husband who sells his wife?"

"I'm getting used to it, you have to give me some time!"

He realized he had lost his composure and was trying to regain his composure.

After finishing this meal,

Qin Shisheng grabbed my wrist.

Walk towards the restaurant lobby.

On the way, a lady dressed in a gorgeous cheongsam slowly walked out of the next room.

She was graceful and light-footed, exuding elegance in every gesture.

It was his ex-wife, Hu Xuelian.
