Bo Jingcheng remained silent for a long time before finally speaking slowly, his voice tinged with weariness and helplessness: "Xinyue, I... I admit that I was troubled after Siyao came back. She is a memory of the past for me, but I never thought of giving up our home."
As he spoke, Bo Jingcheng stepped forward and hugged her.
"I was wrong. Please stop making a scene for Grandpa's sake, okay?"
Jiang Xinyue's body stiffened, and she instinctively wanted to push Bo Jingcheng away, but after hearing his words, a complex emotion welled up in her heart.
She bit her lip, fighting back tears, her voice trembling slightly: "Bo Jingcheng, do you think you can just say 'for Grandpa's sake' and let all this go? Can you really understand the pain I've been going through these past few days?"
Bo Jingcheng hugged her tighter, as if afraid that he would lose her if he let go: "Xinyue, I know I can't understand even a fraction of your pain, and I'm sorry. But I really don't want to lose you, and I don't want to lose our family. Grandpa is getting old, and he has always hoped that we can be well. If we cause him worry, I... I really can't bear it."
Jiang Xinyue felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She knew all too well what her grandfather expected of them, but that couldn't be a reason for Bo Jingcheng to hurt her.
“Bo Jingcheng, Grandpa’s expectations are not an excuse for you to hurt me. I’ve given so much for this family, and yet you…”
Bo Jingcheng released his embrace, gently cupping Jiang Xinyue's face in his hands. Looking into her tear-streaked eyes, he felt a pang of guilt: "Xinyue, I promise I will never make you sad again. I will completely cut off contact with Siyao and focus all my attention on you and Xuanxuan. Please forgive me this once, okay?"
Seeing that she didn't speak, Bo Jingcheng lowered his head to kiss her lips.
In the past, whenever Jiang Xinyue was sad, he would take the initiative to make up with her and would even kiss her.
Seeing him treat her the same way he used to, Jiang Xinyue turned her face away, avoiding Bo Jingcheng's kiss.
Bo Jingcheng's lips brushed against Jiang Xinyue's cheek, and the moment he missed, his expression changed instantly.
Jiang Xinyue turned her head away, her voice choked with emotion: "Bo Jingcheng, stop trying to fob me off with the same old methods. Our relationship can't be resolved with just one kiss."
"Then what do you want?" Bo Jingcheng frowned, his gaze slightly taken aback.
He suddenly realized something, and with a confident look, he couldn't help but curl his thin lips into a smile. "What? You want it after only a few days? You should have said so earlier! We're husband and wife. As long as you give in, I'll give it to you if you want it."
After saying that, Bo Jingcheng picked Jiang Xinyue up in his arms.
He kicked the door shut.
Jiang Xinyue's eyes widened in shock and anger. She pounded on Bo Jingcheng's chest and shouted, "Bo Jingcheng, are you crazy? Put me down!"
Bo Jingcheng remained unmoved, carrying her straight to the bedside, gently placing her on the bed, and then pressing his entire body against hers, his eyes flashing with a complex light, containing both urgency and a trace of inexplicable desire.
“Xinyue, we are husband and wife. Husband and wife should be intimate and close. Isn’t this a way to solve the problem?”
Jiang Xinyue trembled with rage. She pushed hard on Bo Jingcheng's shoulders with both hands, trying to break free from his restraint. Her voice was filled with anger: "Bo Jingcheng, you are shameless!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Xinyue angrily slapped Bo Jingcheng across the face.
"Slap—" A crisp slapping sound rang out.
A red mark immediately appeared on Bo Jingcheng's handsome face. His eyes suddenly turned cold, and he grabbed Jiang Xinyue's neck, saying viciously, "Jiang Xinyue, how dare you hit me?"
For five years, Jiang Xinyue had never disobeyed him, let alone laid a hand on him.
At this moment, Bo Jingcheng's face was extremely gloomy.
Jiang Xinyue's neck was being choked, and she instantly had difficulty breathing. Her eyes widened, filled with fear and anger. She tried to pry Bo Jingcheng's hands off her, trying to break free from his grip.
The more Jiang Xinyue struggled, the more it fueled Bo Jingcheng's possessiveness.
Ignoring Jiang Xinyue's struggles, he bent down and kissed her lips fiercely, as if venting his anger.
Jiang Xinyue desperately twisted her head, trying to avoid Bo Jingcheng's rough kiss, but he was too strong, and she couldn't break free at all.
Bo Jingcheng's lips, tinged with anger and urgency, plundered Jiang Xinyue wantonly, completely disregarding her resistance and pain.
Tears streamed down Jiang Xinyue's tightly closed eyes; her heart was filled with despair.
At that moment, she felt that the man in front of her was completely unfamiliar, and all the love and tenderness she once had seemed to have vanished.
With her clothes torn, Jiang Xinyue felt a chill run through her body.
Just like her heart, it was cold from beginning to end.
As time went by, her struggles gradually weakened.
Just when Jiang Xinyue felt hopeless, Bo Jingcheng suddenly seemed to regain a sliver of reason.
He abruptly released his grip on Jiang Xinyue's neck, ceasing his violent actions.
He looked at Jiang Xinyue, who was disheveled and in tears, and a trace of regret and guilt flashed in his eyes.
"Xinyue, I..."
Jiang Xinyue curled up by the bed, covering her body with her tattered clothes, staring blankly ahead, as if she had lost her soul.
Bo Jingcheng wanted to reach out and touch her, but he didn't dare.
"Xin Yue, I'm sorry, I... I lost control." Bo Jingcheng lowered his head in anguish.
Jiang Xinyue did not respond, but silently shed tears.
The room fell into a deathly silence, with only Jiang Xinyue's sobs echoing in the air.
"Xinyue, don't cry. I didn't mean to force you. I just... couldn't help myself..."
During this time, Jiang Xinyue kept arguing with him about divorce and wouldn't go home, plus she kept making him angry.
He thought he could make her beg for mercy in this way, and make her understand that she couldn't live without him.
However, I didn't expect Jiang Xinyue to react so strongly.
After a long while, Jiang Xinyue slowly raised her head and gave Bo Jingcheng a cold look.
"Bo Jingcheng, don't make me hate you!"
Looking into her cold eyes, a hint of panic flashed in Bo Jingcheng's eyes.
He put his arm around Jiang Xinyue's shoulders, his gaze softening as it had always been.
"Yueyue, I'm sorry, I really know I was wrong."
He hugged Jiang Xinyue tightly, apologizing repeatedly: "Please forgive me! I don't want to be separated from you. Let's not get a divorce, okay?"
Jiang Xinyue's head was pressed against his neck, her eyes were red, and she struggled in his arms.
"Let me go!!!"
"I won't let go!" Bo Jingcheng held Jiang Xinyue tightly. "I'd rather die than let go."
The next second, Jiang Xinyue bit him hard on the neck.
"Ah..." Bo Jingcheng cried out in pain before releasing Jiang Xinyue.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang Xinyue broke free from his embrace, quickly pulled the blanket up, and sat in the corner, her eyes filled with vigilance.
Bo Jingcheng clutched his bitten neck. The gentleness and panic he had shown moments before vanished instantly, replaced only by gloom and anger.
"You dare bite me? Jiang Xinyue, let me tell you, don't push your luck! My patience has its limits!"
