It was as if there was a door in her heart, a door that had never been opened to him.
The trust between them was like a fleeting dream, easily shattered.
Just like the matter that bothered him today, Xu Ruantang never considered him her first choice.
"Then why don't you refute me? It's not like you've lost your mouth, has it?"
Despite knowing her precarious situation, Xu Ruantang couldn't resist indulging in a moment of verbal sparring.
She feels stifled if we don't let her talk about it.
Chen Ji was so angry he laughed. "I didn't do anything, why are you arguing?"
Chen Ji felt that this kind of bickering was childish and something he shouldn't have done, but he just couldn't control himself.
Seeing Xu Ruantang's guarded and avoidant manner, Chen Ji felt a surge of anger that he couldn't vent.
He wanted to grab her and ravage her, silencing her eloquent mouth.
"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. If that's how you think, there's nothing I can do. If you think you're right, then let's just say you're right!"
Xu Ruantang took the initiative, uttering a string of scumbag quotes before trying to slip away.
In the end, no one benefits from arguing; if you try to reason with each other, both sides will think they are right.
While it may seem that an agreement was finally reached, in reality, one party made a temporary compromise for the sake of the relationship.
When the day comes that one no longer wants to back down or compromise, the problems will surface as before, becoming the fuse that ignites this already precarious relationship, or even the tip of a knife that leads to mutual betrayal.
The blade used to be pointed at myself, but later it was pointed at the other person.
Xu Ruantang understood this principle and thought it best to calm down before making a decision. Chen Ji had been drinking, so it was normal for him to be out of his mind.
Chen Ji hugged her from behind, controlling Xu Ruantang's arms and leaving her no room to struggle.
A deep, husky voice rang in Xu Ruantang's ear: "Wife, I said I only like you, and I only like you. If you can't learn to trust me, I'll teach you."
Before Xu Ruantang could react, she was lifted up around the waist.
As she was lifted into the air, her first reaction was to curse, but Chen Ji seemed to have anticipated her move, immediately covering her mouth and walking towards the main room.
Xu Ruantang was startled. It's fine to argue, but it's wrong to "take physical violence".
She steeled herself and bit Chen Ji, but she couldn't bring herself to do it, and no blood was drawn.
Taking advantage of Chen Ji's moment of gasp for breath, Xu Ruantang hurriedly said, "You mean I misunderstood you? Then you need to explain why your behavior was so abnormal today, and why you kept contradicting me. You haven't even explained yourself clearly, and your current behavior just shows that you're guilty!"
"I'll teach you what trust is, and once I've taught you, there's no need to explain it."
Chen Ji held her firmly, without bending his waist at all, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, his tone neither warm nor cold.
He didn't stop walking, wanting to carry her upstairs in his arms.
Xu Ruantang panicked completely. As someone from a later era, she understood the dangerous undertones in Chen Ji's eyes.
The word "lust" has a knife above its head; this person has fallen victim to the knife.
After drinking a little alcohol, he stopped being human and started behaving like a beast.
"You... Chen Ji! You said you'd wait until I'd thought it through, are you going to go back on your word?!"
"What do you mean by teaching me to trust? Trust only exists when there are no misunderstandings. Even if I misunderstand you, you still need to have a plausible reason."
She became increasingly angry as she spoke. What could have been explained in just a few words, Chen Ji could have simply told her why he did what he did today, instead of making such a mess of things.
Her voice carried a hint of grievance, "Do you think I'm an idiot? So you're planning to burn newspapers at my grave to fool the ghosts?"
Did he think that seduction would make her abandon her principles?
Xu Ruantang was weak-willed and struggled but couldn't break free. Putting aside Chen Ji's self-control, she herself lacked self-control.
If she were to eat it, she'd be a fool not to.
If Chen Ji cries and sobs, she'll have to coax him, which will be incredibly annoying.
Chen Ji paused, but ultimately did not go upstairs directly. However, he did not let go of her, but instead sat down on the sofa with her in his arms.
Xu Ruantang panicked even more. What the hell was this? She wasn't ready to accept it so easily!
She sat on Chen Ji's lap, watching his Adam's apple bob up and down, his eyebrows arching in a meaningful way.
Chen Ji's voice was hoarse: "Wife, I regret it."
He was trying his best to restrain himself, but he was already at his limit, and with the added influence of alcohol, his rationality was about to completely collapse.
"Huh?" Xu Ruantang's mind was also a complete mess.
She couldn't understand how she could be sitting on someone's lap when they were just arguing.
But Chen Ji's voice was gentle and deep, like a feather tickling her heart.
As expected, people in love lose their brains and have no sense of reason. She can hardly remember why she was so angry just now.
Tempted by his good looks, I'm tempted to forgive him for now.
We'll talk about being cuckolded later; anyway, she's not exactly innocent.
"I regret giving you too much time, making you hesitate and lose all trust in me."
Chen Ji leaned closer and closer, his high nose almost poking Xu Ruantang's face.
Her heart was pounding, but she still managed to muster the last vestiges of her reason and asked, "Tell me first why you're acting so strangely today?"
"Because of you."
Xu Ruantang almost stopped breathing, she was so angry, this person was completely unreasonable and was just being so sour!
"Go to hell..."
Before Xu Ruantang could even utter the word "Grandpa," her mouth was gagged again.
As soon as she reached out her hand, Chen Ji twisted it behind her back.
He merely pecked her lips, then quickly sat up straight, his deep, unfathomable black eyes fixed on her. "Wife, you can't swear. You swore four times today."
Xu Ruantang has no hands but has legs. She tried to kick Chen Ji but he held her down, gripping her wrist with one hand.
She was furious. "Are you my father? How dare you interfere? Do your family know? Let me go!"
Xu Ruantang had already planned it out. As soon as Chen Ji let go of her, she would give him an over-the-shoulder throw. The feeling of being pinned down was too uncomfortable.
"You're like a firecracker." Chen Jihao looked at her leisurely, still chatting away.
Xu Ruantang: "......"
You're like a grasshopper!
You look like a cockroach!
You're like a mouse!
You're like a pig!
Xu Ruantang had never encountered such a difficult boy during her school days, yet she ended up falling for Chen Ji.
When he gets wicked, he's no less wicked than those brats who pull their deskmate's braids.
Xu Ruantang named all the animals she could think of, showing no weakness in front of Chen Ji, and struggling while resisting him.
She was completely unaware that Chen Ji's breathing was becoming heavier and heavier, and the emotions in his eyes were burning hot.
She was really strong, wriggling in the man's lap.
"Honey, do you believe me when I said I agreed to eat out simply because I wanted to drink?"
Xu Ruantang sneered, "I don't believe you for a second."
Chen Ji's eyes were dark, and in front of him was a small face as beautiful as a peach blossom.
Xu Ruantang probably didn't even realize that every smile and frown of hers was seen as charming and alluring by Chen Ji.
As if bewitched, Chen Ji reached out and stroked her face with his fingertips, his eyes filled with an intense emotion that seemed impossible to conceal.
