Chapter 2: Is Not Consummating the Marriage Because You Aren't Ready?

"You..."

Looking at Gu Fei's gaze and that tone of disdain, Xun Er's heart trembled violently.

During this period, Gu Fei had always been very attentive and caring toward her.

Even, he had never spoken to her loudly like this before.

But now, he had completely lost his former submissiveness, and Xun Er could not accept it.

【Ding! Xun Er experiences panic, Emotion Value +100】

"But, even so, I have never done anything to wrong you!"

Xun Er lowered her head, not daring to look into Gu Fei's eyes, and her voice was not as righteous as before, but carried a hint of fragility.

"Is that so? As your husband, I invited you out to play several times, but you rejected me with various excuses like cultivation!"

"Yet for that so-called Xiao Yan brother of yours, before he even says a word, you rush to go on a date with him, and even hide it from everyone!"

"Doesn't this mean you have something to hide?"

A calm, even somewhat elegant expression hung on the corners of Gu Fei's mouth.

There was no sarcasm, nor was there disdain.

Just a flat, indifferent calmness.

"..."

Looking at Gu Fei's calm expression, Xun Er began to feel some panic in her heart.

She knew that it was truly possible that Gu Fei no longer cared about her.

Moreover, those words of Gu Fei's also made Xun Er feel a sense of shame.

As a wife, she had indeed not fulfilled a wife's duties.

And as a married woman, keeping a distance from other men was also an implied rule.

"I... Gu Fei, it's not what you think, I just..."

"You just never cared about me as a husband; even if I treat you well, it never compares to your old lover!"

"No... it's not like that, I don't not care about you..."

Speaking up to this point, even Xun Er herself could not continue.

There were some facts she herself had to admit; as long as Gu Fei wasn't blind, he could see her various behaviors.

"It's just that our marriage, to you, is not important at all!"

"All the good I've done for you is just that cheap kind; how could it compare to the beauty you have with your old lover!"

Gu Fei spoke faintly once again.

In his voice, there was no longer the warmth of the past, only the calmness of a stranger.

This caused panic to arise in Xun Er's heart.

Whether before the wedding or in the half-year since, Gu Fei had always been very good.

Moreover, Gu Fei was indeed very outstanding, a heaven-favored child of this world.

As things stood, Xun Er would absolutely not consider divorcing Gu Fei.

That would have too great an impact on her!

"Also, I am your husband now; you are so good to other men, giving them Battle Techniques, giving them Child Fire, and even going to meet him in secret..."

"Meeting in secret behind everyone's back, are you planning to sleep with him next?"

"We have been married for half a year, and you have never consummated the marriage with me; are you planning to keep your chastity for another man?"

Gu Fei's gaze toward Xun Er once again became somewhat disdainful.

"No!"

Xun Er panicked and cried out instantly.

Looking at Gu Fei's eyes, she almost collapsed.

To be so disdained by one's own husband, who could bear it?

"Gu Fei, it's not what you think; not consummating the marriage is just because I'm not ready yet..." Xun Er explained anxiously.

"Not ready?"

"What would count as being ready?"

"Are you planning to save your chastity for your old lover?"

"Is this your preparation?"

A trace of disgust appeared in Gu Fei's eyes.

"Nonsense! I didn't!"

Xun Er was clearly stimulated by this sentence from Gu Fei and screamed out.

"Gu Fei, how can you say that about me? In your eyes, am I such a loose and filthy woman..."

Xun Er stared straight at Gu Fei for a long while, two lines of clear tears flowing down silently.

She questioned Gu Fei angrily.

【Ding, Xun Er experiences anger, Emotion Value +100】

Xun Er was already beautiful, and at this moment, with two lines of clear tears crossing her cheeks, it added a sense of tragic beauty.

Most men, seeing this scene, would have an urge to pity her.

Only, the current Gu Fei had no trace of pity, remaining indifferent.

"Otherwise?"

"Do you think that you can put all your heart into another man and still expect me to treat you as pure and chaste?"

Gu Fei said with disdain.

She had done something sordid, yet she wouldn't let others speak of it.

How could such a thing exist under the heavens?

Hearing these words from Gu Fei, Xun Er's original anger gradually dissipated, and a trace of shame arose.

She understood that, in this matter, she was indeed in the wrong.

【Ding, Xun Er feels shame, Emotion Value +100】

Gu Fei did not speak, sitting quietly on the chair.

A moment later, Xun Er slightly recovered, looked at Gu Fei, but did not dare to look him in the eye; at this moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "I only wanted to help him; I did not do anything to betray you!"

【Ding, Xun Er feels shame, Emotion Value +100】

"That person enjoyed treatment that I, as a husband, have never even had!"

"Do you think that just because you didn't sleep with him, it doesn't count as cheating?"

"If you want to see him so much, why not bring him into the Ancient Realm to take my place!"

Gu Fei continued to mock her.

"You... Gu Fei, don't speak so sordidly; I only treat him as a relative!"

Gu Fei's words were extremely blunt, and under the extreme shame, Xun Er once again revealed a flash of anger.

"Am I speaking sordidly? Then you did it yourself; isn't that even more sordid?"

Gu Fei retorted with a question.

This sentence left Xun Er speechless.

"What, was I right, and now you're flustered?"

Gu Fei looked at the stunned Xun Er and continued to mock her.

Xun Er lowered her head, feeling some panic and shame.

【Ding, Xun Er feels panic and shame, Emotion Value +100】

"Xun Er, I admit that I liked you very much before; for you, I almost lost myself!"

"I worked hard to give you the best! Whatever you wanted, I would never refuse!"

"It's just that you always felt it was only natural!"

"I thought all of this was only temporary, and as long as I kept being good to you, one day you would put your heart into me!"

"Now, I finally know that you actually have another man in your heart!"

"Since your heart is not here, and you are unwilling to give your body!"

"Naturally, you no longer have the qualifications to make me give for free!"

Gu Fei's gaze was cold and gloomy, his voice stern and biting.

As these words fell, the shame in Xun Er's heart grew even stronger, and she could not speak.
