When the two returned home, the room was quiet.
Su Jingjing was dismissed from school a period early today, knowing that her mother-in-law might still be at the kindergarten picking up An'an and Yuanyuan.
She put her bag down, and as she turned around, the man grabbed her wrist.
"Wife, where are you going?"
"I'll go cook," she said, pointing to the kitchen. It wouldn't be right to let her mother-in-law come back and cook.
"Come in with me for a moment."
Li Hanting pulled her into the room, and the moment he closed the door, he pressed her against it and leaned down to kiss her. Unlike his usual gentleness, he poured out all his longing from the past week in that kiss.
She didn't resist; instead, she tiptoed and hugged his neck tightly, responding in a subtle way.
They kissed passionately, as if trying to make up for the intimacy they had missed throughout the week.
Li Hanting pinched her waist and lifted her up slightly, making her straddle his waist.
"ah……"
The momentary feeling of weightlessness made Su Jingjing gasp. Before she could react, the man pulled her into another wave of pleasure.
The man carried her easily to the large bed, and the two fell onto it. Just then, she gasped for breath, and her gaze met his.
Su Jingjing turned her head away to avoid the man's hot breath.
Amidst their uneven breathing, besides the beating of their hearts, the clearest sound was the soft "click" of the metal buckle being undone.
Su Jingjing was startled and turned to face him directly, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes. "A-Ting, this won't do."
She quickly got up to try to escape, but at the last second he grabbed her ankle, raised her arm above her head, and pressed her down on the soft bed.
"Mom and the children will be back soon. How's evening?"
Little did he know that her soft, delicate voice only fueled the man's desire.
Li Hanting's lips were only a centimeter apart from hers as he lowered his voice and said, "It's still early; they won't be back so soon."
The resistance in her eyes was so obvious that, although Li Hanting knew the reason, he couldn't help but think the wrong thing.
"Honey, don't you love me anymore?"
Su Jingjing was still trying to find a way to stop the man's next move, but his aggrieved words broke her heart.
She quickly confessed to him, "Who said that? I only love you."
Li Hanting pressed closer, "Then why won't you let me kiss you?"
"I didn't say you can't kiss me, it's just that we can't do *that*," Su Jingjing retorted softly. The last sentence was barely audible unless you leaned in close.
After she finished speaking, her entire face looked as if she had applied blush, making her alluring and captivating.
"Wife, which one is that?"
With a smile in his eyes, Li Hanting stroked her soft earlobe, a playful thought forming in his mind.
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Jingjing's face turned completely red, like a rotten tomato. Staring into his eyes, she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Is he still jealous?
"Are you... still bothered by what just happened?" Her voice was trembling with tears.
Su Jingjing felt wronged. She was confessed to for no reason, and it wasn't her fault. She had already tried her best to keep a low profile at school.
The more I thought about it, the more upset I became, and slowly tears dripped onto my pillow.
Looking at her tear-streaked face, his heart felt like it was being gripped by something, making him panic.
Despite his attempts to gently wipe away her tears, his fingertips trembled uncontrollably, and his tone was stiff.
"Wife, don't cry, it breaks my heart."
Su Jingjing's defenses crumbled, and she started rambling, "You don't care at all. I missed you every day during the week you were away. As soon as you came back, you started being sarcastic and mean to me."
Li Hanting cried out that he was wronged. How could he bear to treat his wife like that? He just felt insecure.
"I didn't mean to, it's just that someone confessed to you, and I'm afraid he's better than me, and you'll..."
Before the two could even utter the word "wavering," the young woman pushed them aside.
Su Jingjing angrily punched his shoulder, her tone turning indifferent, "Am I the kind of fickle person in your heart?"
He's so infuriating, I don't want to talk to him anymore.
After tidying up my clothes, I headed outside.
Realizing that Su Jingjing was angry, Li Hanting really wanted to punch himself twice, but apologizing to his wife was the priority now.
He chased after her without even bothering to get dressed properly, saying, "Wife, that's not what I meant."
Su Jingjing opened the door, glanced at him coldly, and said, "Put your pants on before you come out."
With a loud "bang!", Li Hanting stopped in his tracks.
Su Jingjing went to the bathroom and splashed some cold water on her face. Looking at her red-rimmed eyes in the mirror, she felt even more aggrieved.
My mother-in-law and the children will be back soon; now is not the time to be sad.
The moment she opened the door, she saw a well-dressed man standing in front of her, a tall man over six feet, apologizing in a low voice.
"Wife, I was wrong."
Su Jingjing decided that she would definitely ignore him this time, since he had misunderstood her.
She walked straight past him and went into the kitchen to wash and cook rice.
"Wife, I..."
The man kept circling behind her, and she said coldly, "Don't block my way, I still need to cook."
After saying that, she pushed him out.
Chen Shufang took the brother and sister back to the family compound.
As soon as the two children heard that their father was back, they excitedly ran up to the third floor.
Chen Shufang whispered from behind, "Slow down."
An'an couldn't push the door open. "Huh? The door is locked from the inside."
Yuanyuan knocked on the door and called out, "Daddy, Mommy."
Su Jingjing's eyes flickered. Just as she was about to open the door, she turned around and met the man's gaze. The next second, she calmly looked away.
