Chapter 406

Fu Chenyan's eyes turned even redder; he watched helplessly as the elevator doors closed the moment Qiao Muting embraced Shu Xia.

The level of intimacy between the two made him so jealous and miserable he felt like going insane.

Just the thought of Shu Xia having slept with another man made him want to go mad!

The manager, who was also in the elevator, was now so scared his legs were weak; if hitting people weren't against the law, he would have loved to beat the madman before him to death.

Was he tired of living? To actually dare to offend Qiao!

Most importantly, it might even implicate him!

——

The moment the doors closed, Qiao Muting used his height advantage to pin Shu Xia against the door.

He kissed her without a word of explanation.

This kiss seemed to have a hint of punishment and venting.

Shu Xia's tongue went numb, and her entire body turned soft.

After a long while, when Shu Xia felt like she was about to suffocate, Qiao Muting finally let her go, though he let his heavy breathing fall against her ear.

His voice was incredibly deep.

"Do you still have that trash in your heart?"

Trash?

Shu Xia realized belatedly who he meant by trash.

For a fleeting moment, she had the illusion that Qiao Muting seemed to be jealous.

But then she laughed to herself, thinking how that was possible.

It was probably because the things Fu Chenyan said earlier had made Qiao Muting uncomfortable.

"You even said he is trash, how could I keep trash in my heart?" Shu Xia answered truthfully.

Clearly, this answer satisfied Qiao Muting very much.

He lowered his head and kissed her lips a few more times.

Soft, gentle kisses.

Shu Xia's face flushed from the kissing, "You... how is Miss Song doing now?"

Qiao Muting seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Shu Xia's distraction; he didn't answer her and kissed her lips again.

The situation that followed developed somewhat out of control.

Qiao Muting carried Shu Xia all the way from the door to the bed.

Afterwards, while Shu Xia was taking a shower, she thought about the scene that had just occurred.

She bit her lip, which was still aching slightly.

He actually!

She took a deep breath, her entire face uncontrollably red.

Qiao Muting walked into the bathroom.

He was holding an ointment in his hand.

He hadn't been able to restrain himself earlier and must have hurt her, so he went to find some ointment.

He looked toward Shu Xia and discovered her face was even redder than when she had been lost in the clouds earlier; could it be that she had caught a cold from the sweat and the chill?

"Why did you leave marks here? Qiao Muting, you've gone too far!" Shu Xia accused.

His pupils were deep, and his throat rolled as he said, "I'll be careful next time."

Shu Xia was very angry, "There. Will. Not. Be. A. Next. Time!"

She had decided that until the marks disappeared, she would not let Qiao Muting touch her again!

——

Between dreaming and waking.

Qiao Muting was awakened by a series of sleep-talking.

When he opened his eyes, he heard the woman in his arms murmuring in her sleep.

It was as if she were accusing him of his atrocities.

"Qiao Muting, are you a wolf..."
