Chapter 408 What do you take me for?
Qi Mingxuan was in a daze for a moment, then suddenly opened her eyes.
The man reeked of alcohol, and his bloodshot eyes held a strong intent.
Qi Mingxuan was very sleepy and tired, and had no interest in anything.
"Han Mingyu, I'm very tired today."
"You don't need to put in any effort." He chuckled, showing no intention of letting her off the hook.
Qi Mingxuan took a deep breath, her voice calm, and tried to communicate with him: "You've come every day since we got our marriage certificate. Aren't you tired?"
"I'm still young, why should I be tired?" Han Mingyu lowered his head and bit her earlobe. "Give me a daughter, okay?"
"I don't want to have a baby," Qi Mingxuan refused.
"Why?" Han Mingyu looked up at her, frowning. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Afraid of pain?"
“It’s not about whether it will hurt or not, I just don’t want to have another child now.” Her voice was firm. “I have one son, Qi Yue, and that’s enough for me.”
"Qi Yue is too lonely. Although Niannian is also my child, which couple in the Han family doesn't have three, four or five children? It's not like we can't afford to raise them. Besides, we have good genes, so the more the merrier."
"Han Mingyu!" Qi Mingxuan's face turned cold. "What do you take me for? My uterus is mine; I have the right to choose whether or not to give birth!"
"Why are you getting so worked up?" Han Mingyu was unusually excited after drinking, and in his eyes, Qi Mingxuan's rejection was another kind of marital fun.
His actions didn't stop at all; on the contrary, they escalated.
Qi Mingxuan's face turned completely cold.
"Han Mingyu, stop."
But why would Han Mingyu listen to her?
In this matter, Han Mingyu has always held the dominant position.
Han Mingyu saw Qi Mingxuan's rejection as a woman's way of playing hard to get.
But Qi Mingxuan really didn't want to.
The moment her nightgown was lifted, Qi Mingxuan felt a sudden rush of heat to her head and raised her hand—
Snap!
A slap landed on Han Mingyu's face.
Her palms were numb, and Qi Mingxuan pursed her lips tightly.
Han Mingyu was stunned for a full three seconds.
A slap completely ruined the man's mood.
Han Mingyu stared at Qi Mingxuan, anger igniting in his eyes.
"Qi Mingxuan, what's wrong with you?!"
He grabbed Qi Mingxuan's hand that was hitting her, "Have I been too lenient with you these past few days? How dare you hit me?!"
Qi Mingxuan remained expressionless, staring directly into his eyes, which were blazing with anger. "Han Mingyu, even if you're husband and wife, this kind of thing should be based on mutual consent."
"You're still unwilling?"
Han Mingyu scoffed, "Didn't you enjoy it? Qi Mingxuan, you're married now, what are you pretending for? Do you even remember when you were trembling under me?"
Qi Mingxuan's pupils contracted slightly.
She stared at him intently.
Looking at the man she has loved deeply for many years without considering the cost.
My eyes were red-rimmed, and my heart ached as if it had been ripped open.
She felt it wasn't worth it, that she herself wasn't worth it.
Holding back her tears, she forced out her voice from her tight throat, "Han Mingyu, what do you take me for?"
"Interesting." Han Mingyu scoffed and got out of bed.
He stood by the bed, his fingers fastening his clothes, coldly watching Qi Mingxuan on the bed.
"Qi Mingxuan, I never realized you were so stubborn and dramatic. Isn't it normal for couples to satisfy each other's physical needs? What are you complaining about? Besides, we're legally married now. Is it unreasonable for me to want you to give me another daughter?"
Han Mingyu is such a man. He has a silver tongue, comes from a wealthy family, and is in charge of a powerful organization. He is used to the manners of a superior. When he is in a good mood, he is gentlemanly and humorous, and always manages to win the hearts of some women unintentionally. But these are just the surface of his ideals.
This man is actually very domineering at heart. If you make him unhappy, his mouth, which can coax and make you happy, will also utter the coldest and sharpest words that will hurt you deeply.
Qi Mingxuan knew this before.
But now, as his wife, he says such hurtful things simply because she refused his demands and because she didn't want to have a daughter.
In the end, I still don't love her.
If he loves her, he would at least say a few sweet words to coax her, right?
She's actually very easy to please. Before her older brother's accident, she was the kind of girl who was always pampered...
Unfortunately, her older brother was in a deep sleep and no one would comfort her anymore.
"Han Mingyu," Qi Mingxuan sat up, tears falling silently, "you're just taking advantage of my love for you."
Han Mingyu frowned.
"You don't love me. You just need a wife to complete your life, preferably one who can meekly accept all your needs."
Qi Mingxuan laughed, "I tried to accommodate you, but it was too painful. In this marriage, you only need a wife who is a tool, but what I need is a lover who can understand me and give me emotional responses. I had expectations of you, but now it seems that I was just being wishful."
Han Mingyu scratched the back of his head in frustration, paced back and forth with his hands on his hips, and finally pointed at her nose angrily:
"You're sick in the head! I'm not as dramatic as you. Is it wrong for me to get married and have children? Qi Mingxuan, there was never any love between us to begin with, didn't you know that all along? Now that we're married, you're pushing your luck and demanding that I love you? We agreed on this a long time ago, so what's the point of this charade? If you couldn't accept that I didn't love you in the first place, then why did you agree to marry me? Your inconsistency really makes me think you're hypocritical!"
Qi Mingxuan lowered her eyes, tears falling like large beans. "Han Mingyu, back in Tibet you were the one who insisted on clinging to me. I told you to leave long ago, but you wouldn't. It was you who..."
"So what if I'm clinging to you?!" Han Mingyu interrupted her, "You secretly gave birth to Qi Yue, and now you owe Qi Yue a complete family. Isn't it right for me to make you make it up to Qi Yue?!"
Qi Mingxuan stared at him blankly.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Han Mingyu assumed she had nothing to say.
"Heh, speechless now?" Han Mingyu sneered, "Qi Mingxuan, you've always been so selfish. You insisted on giving birth to Qi Yue back then, and you didn't give Qi Yue and me a chance to choose. Now, what gives you the right to ask me to give you the right to choose whether or not to get married?"
Qi Mingxuan gripped the blanket tightly with both hands.
Despite it being midsummer and she being covered by a blanket, she couldn't help but shiver.
Han Mingyu stepped forward and grabbed her chin.
Their eyes met, and Qi Mingxuan's vision blurred.
The man's eyes were icy cold. "Qi Mingxuan, even if this marriage will cost you your life, it's your own fault. Whether you like it or not, you'll have to suffer it!"
