Chapter 38: A Risky Move
Qi Huaijing took off less and less wet clothes and cursed louder and louder. When he finally took off all his clothes, he also lifted his legs and got into the bathtub.
Because he was angry, Chen Tang had been biting her lip and not talking back, and now she quickly moved aside to make room for him.
Qi Huaijing was soaking in the hot water when he realized that he was also cold all over. He couldn't even curse her anymore and turned his head away, not looking at her.
Seeing that he had finally calmed down, Chen Tang had a few words to say, so he moved closer to see his expression.
When Qi Huaijing saw her approaching, he immediately pushed her away, but Chen Tang still saw it.
He was...crying.
Qi Huaijing tilted his head stubbornly, half-closed his eyes, his eyes were red, and a tear slowly slid down his handsome cheek.
Chen Tang immediately felt a little pity in his heart, and secretly thought that this was not good. He had saved his family, so he should have been justified!
Now that he has shed tears for me, it is difficult for me to remain strong.
Then just say a few soft words first. She leaned gently into his arms, helping to put hot water on his bare shoulders while explaining softly.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine. I did go to the bathroom, and the moonlight in the garden was beautiful, so I wanted to go for a walk. And I called for help, I really did! I called all the way, but there was no one in the garden at that time..."
"It's not that I didn't bring any maids with me. I brought several of them! It just so happened that they left for a while... Think about it, a child falling into the water is not a good thing, how could I wait for a while?"
"Don't worry, my husband. I knew the water wasn't deep, so I decided to go down and save people. Besides, if you had come a little later, I would have been able to climb out by myself! How could I die so easily? I still want to grow old with my husband... Don't you think so?"
Chen Tang spoke slowly and steadily, with a smile on his face, and when she saw his tears falling, she entangled his hands and feet in the water and raised her head to kiss his tears.
Qi Huaijing was still angry and turned his head away from her, his lips still tightly closed and his face hard, but there were still some tears in his eyes, which were usually gentle and smiling.
Chen Tang knew that he was confused because of his concern, and he didn't want to quarrel or get angry because of this. Seeing that Qi Huaijing was stiff-necked and refused to bow his head, he simply stood up in the water, leaned forward, and kissed the side of his face.
As soon as the smooth shoulders came out of the water, someone pushed them back into the water.
Shen Tang felt pain and couldn't help but scream.
Qi Huaijing finally lowered his head, tears in his eyes. He stared at her smiling face with a frown. His throat choked several times before he kissed her.
This time the kiss was particularly fierce, and Shen Tang was pressed against the wall of the bathtub by him. He was unable to move, but was extremely gentle and obedient.
After a long time, the man let her go, still scolding her in a low voice.
"Next time...if you dare...try it!"
Qi Huaijing was so angry that he couldn't utter a coherent word. After she had caught her breath a little, he pressed her against the wall of the tub again and continued to abuse her viciously.
"Do you know how scared I am? I just left you for a moment and look at you! What have you become?"
Seeing that he was being so fierce, Shen Tang felt aggrieved and couldn't help but push him away.
"Then what do you think I should do? Just watch Sister Luan drown? She's your own niece! She's only four years old! 'When ordinary people see a child about to fall into a well, they will all feel apprehensive and compassion'! If you were there, would you be able to stand on the shore and watch such a young child drown with your eyes open?"
Qi Huaijing was so disappointed with his friend that he gritted his teeth but lowered his voice.
"She is the eldest daughter of the Qi family! Wherever she goes, she is followed by three or five servants. If no one set up a trap, how could she fall into the water? If no one rescued her, she would have drowned. How could this trap still work? If you don't rescue her, someone else will do it, and someone else will take the blame! You are always so naive that you can't even see such a trap? When will you improve?"
Chen Tang was stunned, and then he understood why Aunt Xue took two steps back at that time. It turned out that she was supposed to be the one to take the blame... No wonder she turned around and wanted to leave at that time!
Seeing that she was in deep thought, Qi Huaijing reached out and pinched her chin.
"What are you thinking about? Tell me!"
Seeing that he was angry, Chen Tang hesitated between admitting his mistake softly and reasoning seriously.
Admit your fault? You risked your life to save others, and you still have to admit your fault to him?
Reason? Seeing that he didn't want to be reasonable at all!
Chen Tang considered it for a moment and decided to take a risky move.
She turned around and tried to speak coldly like him.
"I'm thinking, I really can't be as scheming and progressive as my cousin, who can see through traps at a glance..."
She turned around and looked at Qi Huaijing, with a look of grievance and a bit of willfulness.
"If you really don't like me, why did you marry me? Wouldn't it be better to marry a woman who is more scheming than me, more progressive than me, and can see through traps better than me?"
After hearing these words, Qi Huaijing's eyes were so bright that sparks could be seen.
"you!"
Chen Tang leaned against the wall of the bathtub, deliberately not looking at him.
"If my cousin keeps thinking this way, we can divorce and part ways amicably. No one should hinder the other's good marriage... Oh!"
Qi Huaijing took a step forward, lowered his head and bit her shoulder.
Chen Tang retaliated by turning around and biting his shoulder as well.
Who doesn't know how to be domineering?
Qi Huaijing only bit once and then let go, but Chen Tang, feeling aggrieved and angry, bit his shoulder, leaving a round bloody mark.
Qi Huaijing didn't move, and waited until she let go, still questioning in a low voice.
"What good marriage? Whose good marriage? Who else do you want to have a good marriage with?"
Chen Tang: “…”
This was the first time she was so domineering. She felt that she had a hard time controlling the timing, and she was afraid that she would anger the living tyrant to death...
Chen Tang stopped when she saw that things were going well, with curved eyebrows and a smile on her face, and she wrapped her arms around his sturdy waist.
"Of course it's with my cousin! After we get divorced, you have to come to my house again to propose marriage. However, I won't agree so easily this time. I will wait for you to arrive at my doorstep..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Huaijing lowered his head and kissed her again... This time he was much more obedient.
This was the first time that Shen Tang lost his temper in front of him, but it served as a reminder to him.
I clearly love Chen Tang's gentleness and sincerity, but I also hope that she can be cold-blooded and ruthless in the Qi family. Where in the world is there such a good thing that can have the best of both worlds?
If he really liked the scheming and cold-blooded girl, he could just marry Yue's cousin. Why go through so much trouble!
