Chapter 15 The "Interrogation" in the Room: From now on, you're only allowed to do this to me!
Qin Lie felt as if his hand had been burned by a branding iron, and he immediately tried to pull it back.
But Jiang Wu held him down firmly, preventing him from moving.
Her hands were small and she wasn't very strong, but Qin Lie seemed to be frozen in place, his whole body stiff and unable to move.
Beneath his palms lay her soft, supple skin and the strong, rhythmic beat of her heart.
The heartbeat seemed to possess a magical power, traveling through his arm all the way to his heart, causing his heartbeat to lose its original rhythm and become wild and disordered.
"You...you let go!" Qin Lie used a lot of strength to squeeze out these words from his throat.
His voice was so hoarse it sounded like it had been sanded, and his face was so hot it could have cooked an egg.
"I won't let go." Jiang Wu was secretly delighted to see his desperate yet helpless expression, his restrained and pathetic state.
Not only did she not let go, but she also held his hand and gently rubbed his chest.
"Honey, look, it's jumping so fast. Feel it, isn't it?" Her voice was soft and sweet, with a touch of innocent allure, like a feather gently scratching Qin Lie's nerves that had been stretched to their limit.
Qin Lie gasped.
He felt all the blood in his body rushing wildly to one place. That place was clamoring and noisy, unfamiliar to him, and it terrified him.
He had lived for twenty-six years and received the most orthodox and rigorous education. In his mind, matters between men and women were sacred and private. He had never seen a woman as bold, straightforward, or even...shameless as Jiang Wu.
Her words, her actions, every detail was relentlessly challenging his bottom line and stirring his most primal instincts as a man.
"Jiang Wu!" He gritted his teeth, squeezing out her name through gritted teeth, his eyes surging with suppressed anger and a hint of desire that he himself was unwilling to admit.
"If you keep messing around, believe me or not..." He wanted to threaten her, but when the words reached his lips, he found that he couldn't think of any threatening words at all.
Hit her? Scold her?
Looking at her innocent yet alluring face, he couldn't bring himself to touch her, nor could he open his mouth.
"Believe it or not, what will you do?" Jiang Wu tilted her head, blinking her large, watery eyes, feigning ignorance, "Throw me off the bed?"
She teased him, mimicking his previous tone.
Qin Lie was so choked by her words that he almost couldn't breathe, and his face turned as red as a liver color.
He stammered for a long time, unable to come up with anything, and finally could only let out a helpless and frustrated growl, "What exactly do you want!"
"I don't want to do anything," Jiang Wu said innocently as she let go of his hand.
Then, she sat up and moved closer to him.
The two faces were so close that Qin Lie could count exactly how many of her long eyelashes there were, and smell the sweet scent of her breath.
"I just want you to stay with me." Her voice was so soft it was almost a whisper. "Honey, we're husband and wife, aren't we?"
“Isn’t it normal for husband and wife to do some… intimate things?” she said, her restless little hands starting to draw circles on his chest again.
That slight touch felt like tiny flames igniting his entire body, making him hotter and stiffer.
"Jiang Wu, we need to talk." Qin Lie took a deep breath and used all his strength to grab her hand, which was igniting fires everywhere.
He took a step back, creating a safe distance. He felt he couldn't let her lead him by the nose any longer; he had to make things clear with her.
"Okay." Jiang Wu nodded obediently, sat cross-legged on the bed, and rested her chin on her hands, like a primary school student ready to listen to a lecture. "What do you want to talk about?"
Looking at her unbelievably obedient appearance, Qin Lie felt a wave of helplessness.
He cleared his throat, trying to make his voice sound serious: "First, about Zhou Mingyuan."
He paused, looking into her eyes: "What exactly is going on between you and him?"
Although he had just chosen to believe her in front of everyone, he still had a lingering doubt in his heart, and he needed to hear her explanation with his own ears.
Upon hearing this question, Jiang Wu's face immediately adopted a pitiful expression.
"I...I really don't know him well." Her eyes began to redden again.
"I admit, I was a bit immature before."
"Because you always ignore me and are always so cold to me, I feel sad, so... I just want to talk to someone." As she spoke, she began to cry.
Tears fell like beads from a broken string, one by one, making Qin Lie's heart ache again.
“That Zhou Mingyuan appeared around that time. He looked very refined and had a way with words. He said he understood me and cared about me. I was confused for a moment, so… I talked to him a few more times and wrote him a few letters back.” She explained, half-truthfully, while crying.
She didn't completely deny it, because that would seem fake. She simply shifted all the blame to Qin Lie's "indifference" and her own "ignorance," portraying herself as an ignorant girl who made a mistake because of a lack of love.
“But I swear!” she cried, holding up three fingers. “I absolutely did not do anything to betray you! I didn’t even touch his hand!”
"You've always been the only one in my heart! It's just that you've been too cold to me, which is why I acted foolishly!"
"Later, I found out he wasn't a good person at all; he was just trying to lie to me, so I never spoke to him again!"
"He came to our door today because he's jealous of how good you are to me and he's trying to sabotage things! Honey, you have to believe me!"
She wept bitterly, her face streaked with tears, a sight that evoked pity in me. Her explanation was perfectly reasonable and flawless.
Looking at her, Qin Lie's last trace of doubt completely vanished.
Yes, she's right.
Ultimately, it was all his fault. He had been too cold towards her, which gave other men an opportunity.
"Okay, stop crying." He walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and awkwardly wiped away her tears. "I believe you."
"Really?" Jiang Wu looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Yes." Qin Lie nodded heavily.
"Then... will you leave me because of this?" she asked, still worried.
"No." Qin Lie looked into her eyes and said, word by word, "As long as you behave yourself and stop associating with those shady people, you will always be my wife, Qin Lie's wife."
Having received his solemn promise, Jiang Wu finally felt a great weight lifted from her heart.
She stopped crying and started laughing, then threw herself into his arms again.
"Honey, you're so good to me!" She hugged his neck and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
A tearful, wet kiss.
Qin Lie's body stiffened again.
“This is the second question.” He grabbed her shoulders, forcing her to keep her distance from him, and his expression became more serious than ever before.
"From now on, you're not allowed to lay a hand on me outside! And you're not allowed to say those...shameless things again!" He was referring to her clinging to his leg and her "glorious deed" of saying "I'd rather die in your bed."
Just thinking about that scene made his face burn again.
"Oh." Jiang Wu nodded, seemingly understanding. "Then... at home?"
She blinked her innocent big eyes and asked, "Does being at home mean I can touch you inappropriately and say shameless things to you?"
Qin Lie: "..."
He felt like this woman was driving him crazy! How did her brain work?! How could she always pinpoint the "loopholes" in his words so accurately?!
“Even at home…it won’t work!” he said stubbornly, forcing the issue.
"Why?" Jiang Wu asked, puzzled and disappointed. "We're husband and wife. Isn't it normal for husband and wife to be intimate? Don't you want to be intimate with me?"
Her bluntness left Qin Lie completely defenseless.
"I..." He wanted to say "I don't want to."
But looking at her alluring little face, and recalling the soft kiss and the amazing touch in his palm, he just couldn't bring himself to say those two words.
Jiang Wu interpreted his silence as tacit agreement.
A triumphant smile immediately appeared on her face again.
Her hands started to wander again, moving up his arm and up to his neck.
"Husband, do you want it too?" Her voice was extremely low, with a deadly hoarseness and allure, like a beautiful snake flicking its tongue, coiling around his body and his soul.
"It's just... I'm too embarrassed to say it, right?" she said, pressing herself closer.
Her soft body pressed tightly against him, and through two thin layers of clothing, he could clearly feel every curve of her body and her astonishing heat.
Qin Lie's breathing became completely disordered.
He felt like a traveler dying of thirst, with a pool of clear, sweet spring water in front of him.
Reason was screaming frantically: Don't drink it! It's poisonous!
But his body's instincts were urging him frantically: Drink it! Drink it now!
Just as he was struggling with his inner turmoil and on the verge of collapse, Jiang Wu's next words completely shattered his last line of defense.
She tilted her head back, looking at him with seductive eyes, and gently licked her slightly dry lips with the tip of her pink tongue.
Then, in a sickeningly sweet voice that could melt your bones, she said:
"Honey, my chest hurts today too. Could you massage it for me?"
P.S.: Oh dear, everything's so peaceful, I forgot to blow on the tomato.
