"You are my wife, and you need to fulfill your wifely duties to me." Jie Jingwei paused and leaned closer to Lin Yaru. Ignoring her trembling body, he pinched her chin, forcing her to look him in the eyes. A bloodthirsty glint flashed in his deep, dark eyes as he said cruelly, "We will continue tonight."
Lin Yaru's pupils constricted sharply, her face filled with terror. Jie Jingwei released her chin.
"Hahaha." Jie Jingwei burst into laughter, the sound laced with sarcasm and absolute determination.
Patting Lin Yaru's cheek, he stood up. He turned to leave, but the moment he saw Qin Mei, a flash of panic crossed his eyes.
He hesitated for a few seconds before walking toward her. The bloodthirsty cruelty faded from his face, replaced by a beaming smile. "Qin Mei, what are you doing here?"
"Just passing by." Qin Mei wasn't lying; she genuinely had just happened to pass by.
