No, I won't.
Why did he detect a strong sense of grievance and blame in her tone?
Did his dear wife have some prejudice against Rong Jingyang?
Just as Qin Yunxi was about to ask why, Grace said with a serious expression, "Qin Yunxi, I need to make things clear with you first."
"I cannot accept you being with me while also having another woman."
"If I ever find out, I will break up with you immediately."
"Don't try to manipulate me, and don't even think about me agreeing to share a man with another woman."
"I'm not that stupid."
"Also, I'm naturally sensitive to smells. If I detect the scent of another woman on you, you'll never be able to touch me again."
Qin Yunxi sighed inwardly. He knew she lacked confidence in herself and him. Holding her hand, Qin Yunxi promised, "I know. There won't be another woman."
"I've played around for over a decade, seen all sorts of women."
"For the rest of my life, I only want to build a good marriage with you and have a love that never fades."
Grace was caught off guard by his deeply affectionate words. She knew he might be teasing her, but she was still moved.
However, being moved didn't mean she would become infatuated.
She pulled her hand away and simply responded with an "Mm."
Qin Yunxi didn't get the reaction he wanted. He had said so much, so mushy, and she had barely even blushed or shown any embarrassment. She just gave a faint "Mm"?
It was a blow to his male ego!
With a long arm, he pulled her into his embrace and kissed her fiercely.
What could he do? He was addicted to her scent, addicted to the feeling of her beneath him.
He wanted to take her to bed again!
Perhaps, maybe, Grace would only submit to him in bed?
Qin Yunxi scooped her up and sat her on his lap.
Grace was horrified to realize that he... he...
No!
Pushing him away, she said, "I need to go to work. Let me go."
Qin Yunxi firmly clasped his wife's slender waist, his voice hoarse. "Go to work in a couple of days. Call Ruoxin first."
Grace repeated her two words, "I won't!"
Help Rong Jingyang? Absolutely not!
Qin Yunxi stared at his wife's defiant expression and asked, "Why? Tell me your reasons."
Grace: "Rong Jingyang is a scumbag!"
Qin Yunxi: "...What about me?"
Grace: "You are too!"
Qin Yunxi: "——"
Hey, hey, hey, was he that much of a scumbag in his wife's eyes? But even if he was, she had fallen in love with him, hadn't she?
Qin Yunxi decided not to dwell on this issue too much, lest his wife change her mind and get angry.
"Cough, cough, cough," he coughed awkwardly, then said, "Where is old Yang a scumbag?" He paused. "As far as I know, he's only had Du Ruoxin in his life and never messed around with other women."
Grace scoffed, "How do you know? Doesn't he like Ai Wei and often stay out all night for her?"
Qin Yunxi also became serious. "How could I not know? I've been friends with him for over twenty years. When he was sixteen, I took him to experience it, and he was so scared he ran away and even cut off contact with me for half a year."
"After that, every time I tried to find women for him, he would just tell them to 'get lost'."
"I even suspected for a while that old Yang might have sexual dysfunction."
"It's a good thing he married Ruoxin and they had Doudou."
Wait, wait, wait.
Grace was a bit stunned by Qin Yunxi's words. "Really, really?"
Should she believe this man who never spoke the truth?
Qin Yunxi knew he had no credibility in his wife's eyes, but he couldn't rush things. He had a lifetime to change that.
"It's okay if you don't believe me," Qin Yunxi said very seriously. "Or I can find a few people for you to ask one by one?"
Grace still looked incredulous. "But... but..." Her mind was a mess, a bit confused. She couldn't tell what was true and what was false.
Grace's eyes were full of confusion. "Sister Xin said that Rong Jingyang is manipulating her, trying to control her mentally, and wants Sister Xin to accept that he has many women..."
Qin Yunxi: Pfft—
So, this was the reason his wife suddenly refused to accept "manipulation"!
His face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "I think Ruoxin and old Yang might have some misunderstanding?"
There must be a huge misunderstanding!
One that couldn't be resolved!
