Chapter 446

The moment the bathroom door was pushed open, what met Shu Xia's eyes were Qiao Muting's eyes, which were naturally cold and sharp, yet possessed an extremely strong sense of aggression.

Shu Xia's heart pounded wildly a few times.

"This isn't good..."

But Qiao Muting did not give her a chance to refuse.

When Qiao Muting fell into the bathtub and kissed her, she was still a bit dazed.

Kisses carrying flickers of fire fell all the way down from her lips.

Shu Xia's breathing grew rapid, "Wait... let's go to the bed."

"No rush, you can go wherever you want with the whole night ahead of us," Qiao Muting responded, his breathing heavy as he pressed against her collarbone.

When doing this kind of thing, Qiao Muting was always dominant and forceful.

She didn't know what had gotten into Qiao Muting today.

He had never been this out of control before.

He said in her ear, "Do you still think I have a kidney deficiency?"

"I never thought you had a kidney deficiency, okay..."

Shu Xia no longer remembered at all when it finally stopped.

She didn't know if she had even slept for two hours.

Shu Xia climbed up, driven by the thought in her consciousness that she had to go to work and could not be late.

While washing up, she felt as if her bones were about to fall apart; her whole body ached.

Moreover, in the mirror, she saw marks left by Qiao Muting all over her body.

Shu Xia wanted to cry but had no tears.

Fortunately, the weather had turned cool, so she could wear higher-collared clothing to cover them up.

Compared to her state, Qiao Muting was refreshed and invigorated, with even a smile of satisfaction on his face, "Not going to sleep a while longer?"

"I still have to go to work."

Shu Xia was startled the moment she spoke; her voice was hoarse.

Hearing Shu Xia's hoarse voice, Qiao Muting said, "Rest at home for a day."

Then he added another sentence, "I'll keep you company."

Shu Xia was startled to hear "I'll keep you company."

If she rested at home, would she really be able to rest?

"If I rest any more, I'm afraid I'll lose my job; Boss Qiao should rest well at home."

Qiao Muting felt a prick in his heart upon hearing the words "Boss Qiao," "Call me husband when there's no one else around."

Shu Xia's face flushed red, "I can't bring myself to say it."

"Didn't you call me that quite smoothly last night?"

Shu Xia took a deep breath and glared at him, "That was because you demanded it!"

Qiao Muting seemed to be in a very good mood and said with a smile, "By the end, you were even calling me husband in your dreams."

Shu Xia suddenly realized that Qiao Muting, who usually looked cold, aloof, and even high and mighty, was sometimes quite childish; why was he so particular about the title of "husband"?

"Why don't you call me wife?" she asked.

It was clear that Qiao Muting had not expected Shu Xia to ask this.

Shu Xia had finished applying her light makeup and did not dare to look at Qiao Muting.

He did not respond immediately; perhaps the word "wife" was too intimate, and to him, it should only be said to someone he truly liked.

The atmosphere, which had just been rippling with pink bubbles, instantly dropped to freezing point.

Shu Xia's heart felt heavy; before going downstairs to leave, she left a message, "I'll eat breakfast on the way to work."

Watching Shu Xia rush to leave, Qiao Muting's expression turned completely cold.

The sharp, icy glint in his eyes became even more piercing.

She was only willing to call him husband when they were in bed; once she got out of bed, she became a different person.
