Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Pinching Face and Kissing
Xiao Jinghuai raised his eyebrows slightly, "Failed?"
Song Song didn’t say anything, continuing to walk towards her room. She had no intention of talking to anyone now—
Just a few words from Bao Bei had completely drained her, no ring, no wedding—
Indeed! A marriage with nothing but a piece of paper, what was she persisting for?
How foolish she must be! To desperately maintain such a nominal marriage.
Xiao Jinghuai originally didn’t want to enter the room with her, because he feared once inside, he would want to do something "bad." To hold back until now without having her had obviously reached the limit—
Now, any tiny movement from her could transform him into a ravenous wolf in seconds, ready to pounce on this little lamb.
But he was concerned about the expression on her face.
He stood by the door. When she turned to close it, he immediately reached out to stop her.
In that instant, their eyes met, and he saw her eyes slightly red, as if she was on the verge of tears, frowning, he asked, "What did Bao Bei say to you?"
Deep in her gaze, Song Song hid a dark sorrow. She knew she couldn’t fight against him, so she stopped trying to keep him outside the door.
Releasing her grip, she turned around and walked to the bedside to sit down.
Xiao Jinghuai entered the room, picked up a chair, and sat in front of her—
At this moment, Song Song lowered her head, her eyes entirely fixated on her restless feet, deliberately excluding the man, avoiding looking at him.
Xiao Jinghuai for the first time saw her in such a lifeless state, filled with silence and sadness.
He reached out to rub her little head, "Tell me, what exactly did Bao Bei say to you just now? To make you... so dispirited?"
Suddenly, Song Song looked up, her eyes filled with confusion, "Why—why don’t you divorce me?"
"Even if it’s because of money, it wouldn’t be possible. That amount is nothing to you. Logically, when my mom asked us to divorce, you should be happy, to rid yourself of this fool in no time. But you didn’t, instead, you brought me here..."
"Tell me, do you have any other purpose?"
"..."
Xiao Jinghuai felt she had probably filtered through every possibility but refused to believe he actually liked her—
This little one had no self-confidence, especially in front of him.
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
The man smiled and asked.
Song Song hated it when he smiled. When they first met, he was cold, so she hoped he’d smile more, making her feel less afraid.
But now, whenever he smiled in front of her, her heart couldn’t help but tremble, capable of annihilating her in an instant, leaving her defenseless, wanting to pounce on him directly—
"Stop smiling, I’m asking a serious question, and I want you to answer me seriously, why exactly?"
"Your answer is very important to me!"
Xiao Jinghuai saw her puffing up her cheeks in anger, her eyes sparkling with mist, unable to resist the urge to tease her again.
"Alright, I’ll answer you seriously, because you cause too much trouble, I fear other men can’t handle it, so I reluctantly married you..."
Song Song: "..."
Why did she feel that wasn’t the truth?
Who would marry a woman as a wife for such a reason?
Unless that person has a screw loose!
"I don’t believe it, that definitely isn’t—"
Suddenly, Song Song felt a pain in her cheeks, it was the man’s powerful hand grasping her face—
Then he continually moved closer!
Song Song wondered what he was up to. With his grip, her face probably looked like a Baozi now, was he going to feast on a Baozi?
Turns out, she guessed right, but got the wrong part.
His target wasn’t the face, but the lips.
