Chapter 328

Upon hearing this, Shu Xia's entire face turned red.

Gripping the steering wheel tightly, she wondered how Jiang Nannan could have sent a message at such an inopportune moment.

In the past, the two of them were uninhibited and would talk about anything.

But now, these things had been seen by Qiao Muting.

There was no need to look to know how buff the muscular men in the photos Jiang Nannan sent were; they were very visually striking, but in front of Qiao Muting, who had a superior physique, these men really didn't measure up.

Her good friend was specifically digging a pit for her to jump into!

"She doesn't know yet that I'm married now; she thinks I'm still single, so she's desperately hoping I'll find someone. She's like a little sun—she's already stepped into marriage and is shining bright, and she doesn't want to leave me in the dark."

Shu Xia's tone of explanation was very natural.

But her heart was not natural; if it were any other woman, having a chat with a friend about men and then being seen by a man she was involved with, her emotions would definitely collapse.

Qiao Muting's thin lips curled slightly, as if he had discovered Shu Xia's feigned calmness, "Do you want to reply to her and let her give up the idea of finding men for you?"

At this moment, Qiao Muting felt like a fire was burning in his heart; some things had to be proven to her clearly.

Shu Xia's calm face crumbled inch by inch, and she could barely maintain her smile, "There's no need..."

She always felt that the way Qiao Muting was looking at her now conveyed a certain signal.

The kind of signals that adults all understand.

The atmosphere gradually became strange.

Strange enough that when they entered Xinghai Villa.

The moment the door behind them closed, just as Shu Xia had changed into her slippers, he suddenly kissed her intensely.

Urgent, fierce.

Shu Xia felt her breath being taken away.

She didn't even have a chance to catch her breath.

Her whole body was pressed against the wall by Qiao Muting, left to his mercy.

In the passionate, intense kissing, Shu Xia's reason was gradually swallowed up, and the entire Xinghai Villa became very ambiguous.

Qiao Muting picked Shu Xia up, went upstairs, and placed her on the large bed in the bedroom.

He couldn't wait to take off his clothes and then covered her body.

Shu Xia had a new understanding of Qiao Muting...

On the surface, he was how cold and ascetic he appeared, but in reality, he was just as indulgent in bed.

Qiao Muting knew that he would not easily love someone, but he had an uncontrollable, intense physical need for Shu Xia—perhaps it was from being single for many years, or perhaps he was too restrained in his daily life.

So much so that with Shu Xia, he wanted to get more.

Qiao Muting maliciously set a condition in her ear, "Call me husband."

If he wanted her to call him that, she would...

"Husband..."

The word "husband" fell into Qiao Muting's heart, and his eyes were slightly stunned.

Until Shu Xia was exhausted, Qiao Muting held her in his arms, satisfied and comfortable.

Feeling the warmth of the woman in his arms, as he closed his eyes, he thought that although he did not love her, their bodies were compatible, and they were satisfied with each other; such a marital relationship, in his view, was already quite good.

——

At the same time, inside a five-star hotel.

Lin Miao had already been waiting for three hours, but she still hadn't seen Lin Qi arrive.

This step she was taking was a risky move.

The reason she gave Lin Qi was that coming to the hotel would allow them to speak their hearts; they needed a quiet environment to talk, but at home, it was easy for them to be seen by others.

However, the WeChat message she sent to Lin Qi had not been responded to yet; her heart was pounding like a drum, and she didn't know what the situation was.

This most important step, she had to make Lin Qi take it, otherwise, she wouldn't feel at ease.

She picked up her phone and sent another WeChat message to Lin Qi.

【Brother, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, we are just talking. I am too afraid of being discovered by Mom, Dad, and the second and third brothers regarding my feelings—these shameful feelings of mine.】

Lin Qi was in front of the hotel, sitting in his car; he had already been there for two hours.

He had been hesitating and pacing in the car.

He wanted to clarify whether the feelings between him and Miaomiao were sibling affection or love between a man and a woman, but after thinking for a long time, he still had no answer.

His heart was in a chaotic mess.

As long as he thought of Miaomiao shedding tears in front of him, saying that her feelings were shameful, his heart would ache.

Now, after seeing the WeChat message, an impulse arose in his heart: he could not let Miaomiao face this alone.

Holding his phone, he walked toward the hotel without looking back.

A few minutes later.

Lin Miao was running out of patience waiting.

Just then, Lin Qi arrived.

Following a few knocks on the door, she ran over impatiently to open it.

"Brother!"

Lin Qi helplessly hugged Lin Miao, who had thrown herself at him, "Have you been waiting a long time?"

"Yes, I've been waiting the whole time. I was afraid you would despise me. I was already prepared to leave home; I didn't want Brother to see me and be troubled every day," Lin Miao said with red eyes.

Lin Qi hugged Lin Miao and walked inside, closed the door behind him, and then said gently and patiently, "Miaomiao, your feelings are not shameful."

"Then Brother, are you... do you like me as a younger sister, or do you like me as a woman?" Lin Miao asked.

Lin Qi's expression changed.

"After you kissed me that day, you apologized to me. You clearly said you liked me, so why did you ignore me afterward? Brother, with you being so hot and cold like this, my heart is truly panicked." Lin Miao felt very aggrieved.

It was clear that he had kissed her at the beginning that day, but later he went back on it. He said he hadn't been rational when he kissed her.

Lin Qi sighed softly, thinking of the scene that night at home when he had kissed her.

At the time, he only wanted her not to be so sad, so he couldn't help but kiss her.

If it wasn't liking, he only needed to hug her, just like when she was little; whenever she was afraid of pain and had to go to the hospital often, he would always hug her and coax her.

So, he...

Seeing Lin Qi hesitate, Lin Miao knew she could wait no longer! She immediately raised her head to kiss Lin Qi and placed Lin Qi's hand on her chest.

And she also took off her own dress.

"Take me."

"If you take me, you will know how much I love you, and how much you love me. I beg you, take me."

Lin Qi's hand went stiff, and his breathing suddenly became heavy, "Miaomiao, do you know what you are doing?"

"I am very clear, I am very clear about what I am doing; I want you to take me." Lin Miao was very good at arousing a man's carnal desires.

She understood Lin Qi even better.

Looking at the completely unfamiliar Lin Miao before him, Lin Qi decided not to suppress himself anymore and directly pinned Lin Miao onto the bed...
