That … sounds so weird.
Mrs. Xia went upstairs to sleep, tossing and turning one after another. Xia’s father turned around and asked, “What’s wrong? Not sleeping in the middle of the night, frying pancakes here.”
“I’m trying to figure out what to say to the Shu family about withdrawing.”
“Withdrawal? Withdraw from what marriage?” Xia’s father also woke up and asked her with a frown.
“That son of yours doesn’t want to do it. I don’t know what he’s tossing around, when he wanted to divorce Lanlan, now it’s good, he didn’t even get involved with Ningjiao over there, and now he’s brought Lanlan back.”
“You said that Lan Lan is now in our house?” Xia’s father was also quite surprised.
“Uh-huh. Cooking him some pasta!”
“This brat, what the hell.” Xia’s father said as he was about to get up, with a fierce look of wanting to teach his son a lesson. Who taught him to step on two boats?
“Alright, alright, you sleep. It’s not easy for them to be together, so don’t get involved.” Mrs. Xia pulled her husband to a halt, “Can’t you see? This boy, Feiqing, just loves Lanlan. I don’t have a problem if he really chases Lan Lan back. The old master and old lady have also asked a few times.”
Xia’s father furrowed his brows, “But that background of hers …”
“There’s nothing to be done about that. Your son likes it, and he made it.”
Xia father grunted, so he didn’t say anything and lay back down again.

Downstairs, Zhao Lanlan was still a bit frightened. More carefully, she cooked the noodles and brought them to the room. At this moment, he had already showered and came out in his pajamas. The whole person fell on all fours on the big bed.
Long arms and legs took up the whole bed.
She put the noodles aside, walked over, and shook his arm, “Xia Feiqing. Don’t sleep, get up and eat something first.”
“Now?” He raised an eyebrow, not opening his eyes.
“Uh-huh. I cooked you some noodles, so get up and have a couple bites to pad your stomach.” She said, reaching for him.
He opened his eyes and, with a little force, pulled her down. Her entire body crept onto his chest.
His breath, curled with the mellow scent of wine, made her almost drunk. She gasped and braced herself to get up, but he swung around and pinned her down.
“You … you get up!” She pushed him.
“Why do you even care about me?” He looked straight into her eyes, a dark light flickering in them, “Don’t you hate me? Why did you have to come? You could have just left me alone.”
His question made her baffled along with it. Yes, why after receiving Pei Yajun’s phone call, the whole person’s mind is disturbed, it is difficult to sit still? And, she really could have just ignored him …
“Because … I don’t want to hate you anymore.” She opened her mouth softly, not avoiding his gaze any longer. Hands propped up on his chest, fingers curled and quietly clenched, “It’s exhausting to hate someone, and I don’t want to live down the road with hate anymore. The one who suffers is only himself … and …”
He was silent, not picking up on her words, just looking at her, waiting for her to continue the conversation.
Her eyelashes fluttered lightly, and the words she wanted to say had reached her throat, but, looking at him, she couldn’t even feel like saying them. The astringent flavor in her throat made the tip of her nose sour. Side of her face, avoiding his gaze, before she lightly opened her mouth, “I … in a few months, may have to go to the United States …”
“Settle.” She said again. The voice drifted like a puff of green smoke, as if it would dissipate when the wind blew.
Obviously, the weight on his body increased a bit, and his breathing followed suit. As he breathed, his chest rose and fell hard up and down.
Reaching out, he broke her face over, his eyes thick as ink, “Settle for what? Why did you go to America? You don’t have friends and relatives in America!”
Her eyes reddened and her eyes flickered, “I …”
“Getting married.”
A simple sentence, but it was divided into two times to say complete. After saying it, even his breath was held, and he could only freeze and wait for his reaction.
He jolted hard, as if he had been struck by a huge blow, and all his movements froze there. His eyes tightened suddenly, assaulted with a layer of danger. She panicked, even her heart contracted.
“Do you realize what you’re saying?” Finally speaking, he almost gritted his teeth. Each word, scattered in the air, was heavy and stiff and cold as stone. All at once, it smashed her heart …
“Yes, I know.” She forced herself to calm down and repeated it again, as if to tell herself, “I’m getting married! So let’s not do this again, I don’t want to get entangled with you … …”
After finishing a sentence, all the strength felt like it had been instantly drained away. Xia Feiqing looked like he hated her and glared at her fiercely. His brain was so hot that he couldn’t care about anything, cupped her face, bent his head and went to kiss her.
A vicious kiss, an extremely heavy kiss. It could even be said to be nibbling, as if he wanted to bite her to pieces. She couldn’t stand it and pushed him, “Don’t do this … it hurts …”
“I said marry me if you want to!” He grunted out as the haphazard kisses continued to rage. Sucking heavily on her jaw, her face, taking her earlobe and circling it …
She couldn’t help but tremble lightly, her eyes were stained with a layer of tears, “Calm … down Xia Feiqing!”
Calm down?
He can’t calm down!
Xia Feiqing was obviously stimulated, and his calmness was all gone. In his mind, back and forth were her words about wanting to get married, only to feel that every nerve in his mind was being torn to the point of pain. He wanted her! Not the physical kind of need, but the deepest and most painful cry in his heart.
He didn’t know what he was supposed to do, and what he could do, to keep her. But he knew … he didn t want him to leave just like that!
Large palms came around behind her and pulled the zipper off her dress without a second thought as she gasped.
“You’re crazy!” She grabbed his hand, but it wouldn’t even shake him.
“Get your hands off me!” Fire gathered in his eyes, like a bath of fire and rage.
“What do you want?”
“Can’t you see? I want you! Zhao Lanlan, you are mine! Your body can only be mine as well!” He was truly hateful, so he simply lifted her hands up and pushed her down hard on the bed directly with one hand. The fire wrapped in his eyes almost burned her to ashes, “Tonight, you’re going to understand that!”
She opened her lips to say something in retort, but he didn’t give her a chance. Leaning his head down, he blocked her extra words directly with his lips.

A layer of water mist seeped out of her eyes, not knowing what to do, she could only call his name carelessly, “Xia Feiqing!”
==
The room, filled with the smell of silver riddles, lingered for a long time.
When Xia Feiqing withdrew to the bathroom, Zhao Lanlan stared blankly at the ceiling, her consciousness in a bit of a trance. On her body, he covered her with a quilt, but now, inexplicably, she felt cold.
She was possessed!
That’s why it just lost itself all at once!
