Xu Tingchuan looked at Qin Mubei with icy eyes. He couldn't give a good look to a man who kept pestering his wife.
Qin Mubei smiled and gave Xu Tingchuan a rather provocative look before turning to Ni Sitian and saying, "Sisi, remember to come to me if you're ever unhappy."
After saying that, he walked away with one hand in his pocket.
Ni Sitian snapped out of her daze, pried Xu Tingchuan's arm off, and turned away without a word.
Xu Tingchuan noticed that her dress had a cutout design at the back, revealing a large expanse of her fair skin. Then, remembering how Qin Mubei had hugged her earlier, his face darkened even more.
"Why are you dressed like this?" He grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
Ni Sitian was wearing high heels and was unsteady on her feet. When he pulled her like that, she fell into his arms.
But she was perfectly conscious. She pushed his chest away with disgust and said defiantly, "What's it to you?"
"Ni Sitian, you've been neglected for three days, and now you're getting cocky and unruly?" Xu Tingchuan frowned, smelling the alcohol on her breath. "Why did you drink so much?"
"I like it." She tilted her head back and pouted. "It's none of your business."
Xu Tingchuan assumed she was drunk and throwing a childish tantrum, so he became more patient and said in a deep voice, "I'll take you home."
"I don't want to. The company is having a dinner party, and I haven't had enough fun yet." Ni Sitian twisted her wrist, trying to pull her hand away from his.
Xu Tingchuan glanced at the private room in front of him and simply pulled her over there.
The door to the private room was opened, and everyone's eyes were drawn to the entrance.
Xu Tingchuan saw Editor-in-Chief Li sitting in the main seat and said directly to him, "Sitian is drunk today, I'll take her home first."
"Okay, okay." Perhaps because Xu Tingchuan's aura was too strong, even Editor-in-Chief Li couldn't help but stand up.
"I apologize for disturbing your meal." Xu Tingchuan nodded slightly and then pulled Ni Sitian out.
After being pulled out, Ni Sitian came to her senses and frowned, asking, "What are you doing?"
Xu Tingchuan didn't say anything, but pulled her into the elevator.
Ni Sitian struggled to break free from his grip, but he held her even tighter, and her wrists ached.
The elevator doors opened, and Xu Tingchuan pulled Ni Sitian out, shoved her into the car, and then started the car to go home.
Ni Sitian sat in the passenger seat, ignoring him, and turned her head to look out the window, rolling down the window to let the wind blow on her.
The evening breeze gently caressed her face, dispelling some of her drunkenness and chest tightness, and gradually calming her mind.
She thought she should approach this matter with a more mature attitude, so as not to embarrass either of them.
When she got home, she changed into slippers and went inside. She sat on the sofa and rubbed her temples to clear her head.
Then she looked at Xu Tingchuan and said seriously, "I want to talk to you."
Xu Tingchuan poured her a glass of water, gave her a hangover pill, and said, "Take this to sober up first."
Ni Sitian took the medicine and swallowed it without saying a word, then gulped down a glass of water.
After placing the teacup on the coffee table, she looked at Xu Tingchuan with clear eyes and said calmly, "Xu Tingchuan, you told me when we got married that you couldn't give me love and companionship. I understood and agreed to that. I don't know why you wanted to have a whirlwind marriage, but I think we should each get what we need. So if the person who can give you love comes back, you can tell me honestly."
Xu Tingchuan narrowed his eyes, not understanding the meaning behind Ni Sitian's words.
Ni Sitian took a light breath and decided to be more explicit: "If you are more honest, maybe we can part ways amicably."
"A clean break?" Xu Tingchuan's eyes darkened, staring intently at Ni Sitian. "Have you forgotten what I told you before?"
Ni Sitian frowned and thought for a moment, but couldn't remember, so she shook her head.
Before she could even speak, Xu Tingchuan pulled her close, and she lay face down on his lap.
With a 'smack', his large hand slapped her buttocks.
