Chapter 118 Going to Bed
With just one sentence, all the hatred and resentment in Xie Qi's heart vanished instantly.
He straightened his back and widened his eyes: "Of course I don't know."
After saying that, he felt a little guilty.
He truly did not know that the Xie family would do something as despicable as fraudulent marriage, but initially, the Xie family did indeed want Xie Jingyuan to marry Shen Yuanzhu.
It was he who interfered and ruined their marriage.
But he genuinely didn't know he was being tricked into marriage.
He assumed that Shen Yuanzhu knew that the person she was going to marry was his.
When questioned by Shen Yuanzhu, the chaotic emotions she had been feeling vanished instantly, but she was still uneasy.
Xie Qi thought for a moment, then pursed his lips and sat down next to Shen Yuanzhu.
This was the first time he had ever sat on the wedding bed with Shen Yuanzhu.
After a long silence, Xie Qi asked, "What were your thoughts when you saw me being the one welcoming your bride on your wedding day?"
Shen Yuanzhu said, "Very handsome, much more handsome than Xie Xuchuan."
"..."
The hand resting on his knee tightened, and Xie Qi's ear tips began to feel slightly hot again.
She's just... a beautiful woman.
"Those clothes... if you don't like them, I'll have the wet nurse deal with them."
Pointing to the clothes, shoes, and socks scattered on the ground, Shen Yuanzhu said, "I will not make clothes or socks for you in the future. I don't know how, and I don't want to learn."
Upon hearing this, Xie Qi gritted his teeth and glared angrily at her.
What she meant was that if he didn't want the clothes he wore today, he shouldn't expect her to prepare any clothing for him in the future.
Xie Qi had been tormented for a long time. He thought that if he didn't want to do it, he wouldn't. As the big boss of Jixia Manor, would he lack a few clothes?
But after hesitating for a moment, Xie Qi lowered his eyes and said, "It's all done, why waste it?"
Seeing him like this, Shen Yuanzhu sighed inwardly.
"You... what you said today, are you lying to me?"
"No."
"You're lying."
Shen Yuanzhu glared at her: "When did I lie?"
"You answered so quickly, and you still say you didn't lie to me? If you didn't mean to deceive me, you should have thought it over carefully, and then told me that you would never lie to me again, and then we could be a good couple."
"You will treat me well, and you will no longer think about Xie Xuchuan, let alone Xie Jingyuan."
Shen Yuanzhu asked, "Why would I want them?"
"Just say... say you won't lie to me again in the future."
Xie Qi was incredibly persistent, and although Shen Yuanzhu was not well-liked by her elder brother and sister-in-law, she was still pampered by her mother and wet nurse, and she also lost her temper at this moment.
She put her hands on her hips and glared at Xie Qi: "Fine, fine, I won't lie to you again. If I do, we'll get a divorce, so I won't have a husband to lie to."
"you……"
Xie Qi pointed at her, his eyes red with anger.
"You've been thinking about this for a long time, haven't you? You just want a divorce; you don't want to marry me at all."
"The Xie family tricked you into marriage. You made clothes for Xie Jingyuan, and when you married me, you gave me the clothes. I think you're willing to marry anyone. You don't care who you marry at all."
The Xie family tricked her into marriage, but she remained silent, neither arguing nor making a scene, which shows that she didn't care who her husband was at all.
Enraged, Xie Qi suddenly stood up, picked up his clothes and shoes from the ground, and in a moment of extreme anger, slammed them to the ground.
Shen Yuanzhu walked to the makeup box and put away the South Sea pearl gold hairpin that Xie Qi had given her.
If he suddenly goes berserk and smashes it to pieces, that would be terrible.
These South Sea pearls are very precious. As for those clothes, let them fall; they won't break anyway.
After tidying up her headdress and jewelry, Shen Yuanzhu took out her dowry book and added to the items that Luo Qing had sent a few days ago.
Seeing that she had no reaction, Xie Qi felt aggrieved and looked at the new clothes scattered all over the ground. He really wanted to go up and stomp on them.
But he knew that if he really did that, not only would he not get clothes made for himself, but he wouldn't even be able to wear the seamstress's clothes next time...
Feeling stifled and aggrieved, Xie Qi stared at Shen Yuanzhu's quiet back, his teeth grinding together.
As he looked at it, he suddenly pursed his lips and lowered his eyes slightly: "This small couch is cramped. From today onwards, I will sleep in a bed."
Fearing that Shen Yuanzhu would disagree, Xie Qi added, "I have long arms and legs, and I can't rest well curled up on a small couch. You can't disagree..."
They are husband and wife.
Xie Qi realized that Shen Yuanzhu had no heart at all. If he couldn't keep her firmly by his side, she wouldn't care who her husband was.
Maybe she wouldn't even care if she married Wei Hu!
Thinking of this, Xie Qi turned around and walked to the wedding bed, took off his outer robe and lay down directly.
The bright red quilt emitted a faint fragrance with his movements, making Xie Qi's heart pound and his cheeks flush.
From this day forward, he would no longer sleep on the small couch; he would share a bed with his wife, spending every day together, whispering sweet nothings in her ear…
He refused to believe that Shen Yuanzhu could remain unmoved by his handsome appearance.
Xie Qi felt hot on the face and couldn't help but gently rub his cheek against the bright red blanket.
“If you don’t agree… I won’t go back to Xiaota.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuanzhu continued writing something in the ledger without stopping her pen.
She hadn't thought to record the South Sea pearl gold hairpin that Xie Qi had given her in her jewelry book before. After hearing what he said, she thought about it and took out another brand-new notebook, adding the appearance and material of the hairpin one by one.
She remained silent, and Xie Qi did not move. After a moment, he said, "I'm speaking...did you hear me?"
Shen Yuanzhu said, "I heard you, so be it."
What's so strange about a husband and wife sharing a bed? I don't understand what Xie Qi is thinking about all day.
Shen Yuanzhu sighed and ignored him.
If it weren't for the large sum of money that was about to be deposited into her account, she wouldn't have bothered to deal with Xie Qi so much today.
He wanted to sleep in the same bed with her, but Shen Yuanzhu didn't object at all, which shows that she still loved him.
However, young ladies are often shy, so it's probably not appropriate for them to bring up these things without a reason...
With a smile that was hard to suppress, Xie Qi wiped his face, trying to hide his joy.
He said indifferently, "In the weaving and embroidery workshops, many women develop eye diseases from doing needlework. There is no shortage of embroiderers in the family. If you don't want to do it, then don't."
They won't do it for him, nor for anyone else...
However, Shen Yuanzhu would tell him that she made it herself, which shows that she still has some feelings for him.
If you don't care, why bother coaxing him?
After thinking for a moment, Xie Qi got up, picked up the new clothes from the ground one by one, and folded them neatly on the small couch.
Then he paused, stepped forward, and lifted the blankets on the small couch...
