She's jealous.
Lin Xiao hugged her. "Honey, look. I said I wouldn't answer, but you insisted I take the call."
Su Qingning gave Lin Xiao a light, playful punch. "You're impossible! I'm not mad that you called Chu Xiangxue!"
"Then what are you jealous about?" Lin Xiao asked with a grin.
Su Qingning pouted. "Hmph! It's because your voice was so gentle when you spoke to her!"
"Alright, alright. From now on, I'll only be gentle with you, okay?"
Su Qingning snorted. Lin Xiao didn't bother with any more words, simply pressing her down beneath him. He smothered her with kisses, which finally coaxed her into a better mood.
That night, Su Qingning slept in the same bed as Lin Xiao again, but nothing else happened. Her heart had only opened a sliver, and the last thing Lin Xiao wanted was to force her. Besides, he wanted more than just her body; he wanted her heart. A wife as wonderful as her wasn't easy to find.
「The night passed in silence.」
