No matter how slow Jiang Mingxin was, he could feel it at this moment.
Having just experienced the ravages of a nightmare, her body and mind felt as if they had been shattered, and she needed a steady and reliable person to help her put them back together.
She raised her face and looked deeply into Xing Haodong's eyes.
It was filled with strong spring feelings, so hot and deep that it was unspeakable. It was obvious that she was aroused.
She suddenly laughed and twisted a few times dishonestly in his arms.
"Don't move." Jiang Mingxin felt Xing Haodong's whole body tense up. He pressed her neck tightly with one hand, refusing to let her look up again.
Jiang Mingxin listened to the strong heartbeat beneath his skin and suddenly sighed.
"Xing Haodong, how about... let's do it?"
Perhaps a satisfying love affair could quickly relieve her pain.
She took the initiative to hook her arms around Xing Haodong's neck and, like a smooth fish, twisted herself and lay on his chest.
Lips to lips, noses to noses.
The two people's breathing connected instantly, tacitly adjusting to the same frequency.
This man is one in a million and will definitely make her happy.
Xing Haodong was feeling very uncomfortable at the moment. Although he tried hard not to stand at attention, his limbs became extremely stiff under Jiang Mingxin's teasing, as if they were made of steel.
He is a monk who has cut off all emotions, so how could he not think about this situation?
As long as he smelled the familiar warm fragrance on her body and touched her soft skin, he would unconsciously...
However, even if he was burning with desire, he had principles that he had to abide by.
"Let's get married."
Impatiencelessly pressing his lips against her forehead, Xing Haodong spoke again.
This was the second time he said this tonight. Jiang Mingxin heard it but didn't know how to respond.
Xing Haodong is the only man with whom she can have physical contact without feeling disgusted.
But getting married is absolutely impossible.
She clearly understood that she did not want to be bound or trapped in the cage of marriage so early.
Housewives in the 21st century have no status at all, let alone in this era.
But Xing Haodong's tone was extremely serious, so serious that it gave the impression that he would cry if he didn't agree.
He leaned over to her ear and explained in a low voice, "Only after they get married can they be intimate with each other legitimately and live together openly. They can't just live together as brother and sister like they do now, always worried about being caught, sneaking around like they can't see the light of day."
Jiang Mingxin understood all of this.
But she was afraid from the bottom of her heart.
She was afraid of marriage, and even more afraid that Xing Haodong would become the second man who wanted to imprison her.
"It's still too early to get married." She gritted her teeth and pressed her fiery red lips against his Adam's apple. "Let's just do this and not think about anything else, is that okay?"
Xing Haodong felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head.
The surging blood froze in an instant.
It was hard to tell whether he was disappointed or sad, he silently let go of her hand.
The two had just had a quarrel and reconciled, but the sweetness didn't last even two minutes before the atmosphere became tense again.
Jiang Mingxin sighed helplessly. It was not good for this man to be too principled. She had taken the initiative to ask for sex but was rejected. It was a huge blow to her self-esteem.
Xing Haodong's muscles became increasingly tense, but this time it was clearly not due to any emotional arousal.
Suddenly, he sat up, stared into her eyes and said, "You agreed to date me, but you never thought about marrying me?"
Jiang Mingxin pursed her lips tightly, turned her face to the side, and sighed softly.
The suspicion that had been suppressed with great difficulty in Xing Haodong's heart began to grow again, spreading rapidly like a poison.
He clenched his fist and pounded it on the pillow. "Sometimes I really don't understand, what do you think I am?"
"If you can accept this, then why do you want to stand up to the men who covet you? Could it be that you can't accept this kind of thing, but their appearance, figure, or status?"
"If it was a handsome man of the same status as me, you wouldn't mind, right?"
Xing Haodong felt that his self-esteem as a man was insulted, and he spoke without thinking in anger.
Jiang Mingxin's eyes widened in disbelief, her voice gradually trembling: "Do you know what you said? Do you think I'm the kind of woman who doesn't know how to love myself and can be with anyone?"
Her heart was stabbed hard, like a lit barrel of gunpowder, and it exploded completely.
A loud slap landed on Xing Haodong's face.
"If I didn't like you, do you think you could get into my bed? Xing Haodong, are you blind? Yes, I really didn't think about marrying you, but so what? Have you suffered any loss since we've been together?"
Jiang Mingxin's face was as cold as frost, and there was a chill in his eyes.
"Oh, if you can accept it, then accept it. If you can't, then break up. I have nothing to explain. Besides—who was the one who said to Aunt Hu before that it was okay to wait for me for a few years? Who was the first to break his promise?"
The aftermath of the nightmare had not yet completely dissipated, and she didn't know whether she was angry or sad. She panicked and lost control for a moment, and even said such words.
Xing Haodong stood there in a daze, his eyes bloodshot.
He couldn't believe that Jiang Mingxin could say these two words so easily.
Controlled by his emotions, he subconsciously wanted to agree and break up. As a man of seven feet tall, could he really risk his life for a woman?
But in a flash, she recalled Lin You's words, and Jiang Mingxin couldn't trust another person like a normal person.
But she just said she liked him. Does this prove that she has actually let down her guard against him?
