Chapter 405 A Couple in Distance
Han Mingyu didn't start eating meat until he was thirty-six years old, and once he tasted it, he knew how to enjoy it.
He was not gentle; in fact, one could say he was rough.
Warm water poured down from above, soaking the two of them from head to toe.
The shirt was torn to shreds...
She slowly closed her eyes, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
I don't know how much time passed.
The man's fingertips traced the red, swollen, and chapped corner of her mouth, his thin lips brushing against her ear, his hot breath falling on her. "Does it hurt?"
Qi Mingxuan's eyelashes trembled violently, and her voice shook even more, "It hurts..."
It hurts a lot.
Her heart ached so much that she couldn't help but cry.
Han Mingyu assumed she was in pain, so his expression softened and his movements slowed down. "Sorry, I'll be more careful next time."
Qi Mingxuan pursed her lips and remained silent.
Han Mingyu is full of energy.
After leaving the bathroom, he threw her onto the large bed covered with burgundy sheets.
Qi Mingxuan wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned in to kiss him.
But the man avoided her and kissed her neck instead.
Qi Mingxuan gazed at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.
The faint light shone into her eyes.
The bed was shaking...
She closed her eyes, and the faint light could no longer reach them.
She smiled, but tears kept welling up in her eyes.
...
Everything was over, and it was already dark.
Qi Mingxuan was exhausted and lay on the bed, too weak to move.
Han Mingyu leaned against the headboard and lit a cigarette afterward.
He rarely smokes and is not addicted.
My first time with Qi Mingxuan was at a hotel in Tibet.
After the impulse subsided, his feelings were mixed, so he lit a cigarette and started smoking.
That time wasn't actually a pleasant experience.
Although they were both mature men and women in their thirties, they had zero experience in this kind of thing.
Qi Mingxuan conceived through artificial insemination and gave birth to Qi Yue via cesarean section; she was actually quite inexperienced.
Han Mingyu was in a hurry, and Qi Mingxuan was crying from the pain.
Her crying made Han Mingyu's performance suffer...
It was embarrassing, and then Qi Mingxuan turned over and kicked him out.
Han Mingyu felt that his male dignity had been strongly challenged.
He felt that Qi Mingxuan was looking down on him!
Men always have an unshakable competitive spirit in this regard.
He half-coaxed and half-forced, and then forced the person to do it again.
This time, the two found some common ground.
But after everything was completely over, Han Mingyu looked at Qi Mingxuan, who was asleep from exhaustion, and felt lost.
He even asked himself, how did things come to this with Qi Mingxuan?
Moreover, it was he who took the initiative.
No, to be precise, he forced it.
Why?
Perhaps it was Qi Mingxuan's repeated attempts to distance herself from him that provoked him?
Han Mingyu himself couldn't explain it clearly.
But after finishing a cigarette, his body told him...
He does not reject intimacy with Qi Mingxuan.
Then he thought that he had to give Qi Yue an explanation. After all, he was already this age, and the only woman he had ever been attracted to was Shen Qingshu, but Shen Qingshu had already clearly rejected him.
Since he would never be attracted to other women again, he might as well make do with Qi Mingxuan for the sake of Qi Yue and spend the rest of his life together.
At least, Qi Mingxuan suits his taste.
There are plenty of couples in this world who have no feelings for each other, so what difference does it make if there's one more?
So Han Mingyu used this reason to convince himself.
The next day, when Qi Mingxuan woke up, Han Mingyu proposed to her.
Qi Mingxuan initially refused.
Han Mingyu found her ridiculous. She claimed to love him, but now that he was willing to marry her and spend his life with her, she was acting all dramatic.
What Han Mingyu found even more incomprehensible was that Qi Mingxuan rejected him because 'he doesn't love her'.
But when Qi Mingxuan secretly gave birth to Qi Yue without telling him, didn't she also know that 'he didn't love her'?
Now that things have developed to this point, Qi Yue is all grown up, and she's still struggling with whether or not she loves him?
Han Mingyu felt that Qi Mingxuan was being too pretentious.
"Qi Mingxuan, you're already in your thirties, how come you're still obsessed with romance with those young girls? I, Han Mingyu, don't love you, but I can marry you for our son. After marriage, we'll live together and raise Qi Yue together. Get this straight, we're getting married to give Qi Yue a complete family. As parents, what's wrong with that? If you're worried that I'll find someone else because I don't love you, then rest assured, our Han family has a strong sense of family values. I can assure you, I will never betray my marriage in this lifetime."
His words finally persuaded Qi Mingxuan.
That day, Qi Mingxuan agreed to his proposal.
They only registered their marriage but didn't hold a wedding ceremony.
Han Mingyu was very satisfied with Qi Mingxuan's cooperation. During the next few days in Tibet, they stayed in the hotel because Qi Mingxuan suffered from altitude sickness.
However, Han Mingyu did not touch Qi Mingxuan during those few days.
If he had touched Qi Mingxuan when she was so weak, he would have been a beast!
But once you've tried it, you'll get addicted.
Han Mingyu was certain that he did not love Qi Mingxuan.
But today at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Qi Mingxuan was wearing a light blue dress, her long hair reaching her waist, and her face was bright and beautiful, unlike her previous strong and aloof demeanor in the business world. Looking at her, he couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.
He wanted to bully her badly, and he had been thinking about it ever since he arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
...
As the cigarette burned out, Han Mingyu snapped out of his thoughts and casually stubbed it out in the ashtray.
He threw off the covers, got out of bed, put on a bathrobe, walked around to Qi Mingxuan's side, bent down and picked her up horizontally.
Qi Mingxuan was exhausted and thought he still wanted to, so she frowned and protested, "Han Mingyu, are you ever going to stop?"
Han Mingyu paused, then chuckled softly, "I'll take you to wash up. What are you thinking about?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Mingxuan frowned, "I can wash myself."
"What part of your body haven't I seen? What are you shy about? This isn't like you."
Upon hearing this, Qi Mingxuan pursed her lips tightly and simply stopped talking.
They're just a couple in name only; he doesn't care about her feelings.
Saying more is futile.
