Chapter 41 - Couldn't Afford to Offend Him
Chapter 41 Couldn’t Afford to Offend Him
It was already past ten o’clock in the evening when they returned to the villa in the military compound.
Neither of them had had dinner yet. Qin Shu was scared and worried the whole night. Now once she relaxed, she felt exhausted physically and mentally while feeling both tired and hungry.
Fortunately, there were two bags of quick-frozen dumplings in the refrigerator. Qin Shu bought them earlier in the supermarket just in case she was busy and couldn’t make time to cook. Now, they just came in handy.
Qin Shu skillfully boiled the water and put the dumplings in. Then, she stood on the side and waited anxiously for the dumplings to be cooked.
There was only oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar in the kitchen, no other unnecessary seasoning.
Qin Shu was too hungry to care about that much. She couldn’t wait to pick up a dumpling and dip it in vinegar.
But the dumpling was too hot to be swallowed in her mouth, making the tip of her tongue numb. She could only keep exhaling to cool it.
“Whoosh-it’s so hot! It’s so hot!” Qin Shu stood in front of the boiling dumplings and went around in circles. There was still half of the dumpling on the chopsticks in her hand. The fragrance of the shrimp fillings inside was alluring, but it was too hot for her to eat.
Qin Shu was a little mad.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a pair of black military boots silently appearing beside her, and the tall figure shrouded her.
Heh heh, good timing!
Qin Shu had an idea. She turned around and stood on tiptoe, her red lips blocking Ling Mohan’s mouth. At the same time, she pushed the hot dumpling into his mouth.
“Isn’t it delicious? It’s not very hot.” She narrowed her eyes and smiled like a cunning kitten.
Ling Mohan expressionlessly chewed the dumplings and swallowed them quickly. While he stared fixedly at Qin Shu with his dark, deep eyes.
“It’s very delicious.” He said in a low voice.
Qin Shu’s smile stiffened slightly. And suddenly, she sensed a trace of danger. She subconsciously took two steps back to lean her back against the glass counter.
“Here, eat as much as you like. There are still a lot of dumplings.” Qin Shu tried to divert Ling Mohan’s attention.
“You said it.” Ling Mohan nodded slightly.
“Yes, I said it.” Qin Shu said, “Go ahead and eat. I won’t steal it from you… Mm-hmm!”
She was caught off guard and kissed again!
Qin Shu pressed her hands against Ling Mohan’s muscular chest, unable to move even if she wanted to. Her body was wrapped by his powerful arm, so she could only be forced to accept his kiss.
Ling Mohan kissed her tyrannically and rushed his tongue straight in, not giving her any buffer time.
Qin Shu was infuriated.
Humph, bastard, don’t think I’ll be taken by you so easily every time. I’m going to get you back too this time!
Qin Shu was holding back her anger. It was hard to tell if it was anger or other factors. In short, she and Ling Mohan had been fighting and entangling each other, as if they were going to swallow each other.
This wasn’t a kiss, this was a fight!
In the process, Qin Shu slightly opened her eyes and didn’t expect that Ling Mohan was also looking at her.
His eyes were so deep and dark like an ink sea, as if there were a huge beast hiding in them!
How terrifying!
Just as these two words flashed through Qin Shu’s mind, she suddenly felt her little butt tighten and was fiercely pressed by his hand…
“Ah!” She was so angry that she immediately started to struggle.
However, not only did Ling Mohan not release her, he instead picked Qin Shu up and placed her on the glass counter, so that the height difference between them was not too great. In that case, it would be more convenient to have kisses.
The dumplings in the pot had long since been boiled, and the skin and flesh were split open, flipping out the alluring fragrance. But it did not shake the man’s mind in the slightest.
Ling Mohan’s breath was strong and his vital capacity was sufficient, almost kissing Qin Shu unconscious.。
“You, you smelly hooligan!” Qin Shu gasped heavily. Her legs softened when she jumped off the glass counter, so she threw herself into Ling Mohan’s arms again.
Ling Mohan supported her waist and said slowly, “You said I can eat as much as I like.”
Qin Shu glared at him. “I meant the dumplings! Hmph, forget it, you don’t need to eat anything. You should stay hungry tonight.”
She angrily picked up the dumplings and put them on a plate, intending not to let Ling Mohan eat any of them, so that he would be hungry all night!
Ling Mohan pinched the tender piece of meat behind Qin Shu’s neck and said, “You can’t eat that much alone.”
“Then I’ll dump them!”
“Don’t waste food. It’s military discipline.”
“I’m not a soldier!”
“You are a soldier’s wife, so you also have to abide by military discipline.”
“…”
Why hadn’t she noticed before that Ling Mohan was so good at arguing irrationally?!
When she was with Ling Mohan, Qin Shu had been taken advantage of by him all this time, and her heart almost exploded with anger.
However, there was nothing she could do about him. She could only sneer and say, “Don’t forget, we have agreed on a three-part agreement! If you continue to act like this, I will move out! I believe that even if Grandpa finds out one day, he will understand.”
As soon as she spoke the above, the kitchen immediately became quiet.
Ling Mohan’s face darkened as he stared at her. “Didn’t you like it very much?”
I like what?
Qin Shu was stunned, but she quickly reacted what he meant. She immediately sneered and mocked him, “Colonel, you probably don’t know, do you? When it comes to the love of a man and a woman, only doing it with the person you like will make you feel it. If you are forced by someone you don’t like, it will only make you feel disgusted!”
Ling Mohan’s eyes turned cold and he abruptly clenched Qin Shu’s waist, as if he were breathing with ice residue.
“Do you think I’m disgusted?” He asked word by word, eyes cold and frightening.
Qin Shu’s heart trembled. Then she gritted her teeth and encouraged herself in her heart, making the decision to risk it all. “That’s right! From three years ago, I never wanted to see you. I didn’t want to have anything to do with you! If you hadn’t forced me and threatened me with grandfather, how would I have married you?”
“Shut up!” Ling Mohan’s eyes were filled with horrifying rage. He clenched his fists and made crackling sounds, which was especially terrifying.
When Qin Shu glanced at his huge and tightened up fist, her heart started pounding, almost popping out of her chest!
The atmosphere was tense like a stretched straight line. As long as one exerted a little more force, it would break!
In the next second, Qin Shu felt a cold wind flashing past her ears.
She subconsciously closed her eyes.
Bang!
A loud sound rang out in her ears!
She tightly held onto the edge of the glass counter and even stopped breathing for a moment. Only when the surroundings fell silent again did she slowly open her eyes.
Ling Mohan had left.
Qin Shu couldn’t help but shiver when she thought of the terrifying rage on his body just now. Then, she slowly turned around to see that the wall behind her had cracked.
That’s too horrible!
He actually punched a crack in the wall with his fist!
Only then did Qin Shu feel a lingering fear and slowly squatted down.
Her feet were a little weak.
After more than ten minutes, Qin Shu finally recovered. Her red lips curled up slightly, and her eyes shone with a cunning light.
She believed that after this time, Ling Mohan would never provoke her again!
Next, as long as the two of them kept their distance, they should be safe and sound.
Although she spoke without thinking just now and may have hurt him very much, when she thought of the pain she had endured three years ago and the scene Ling Mohan left mercilessly, Qin Shu felt a wanton pleasure in her heart.
Originally, she wanted to take revenge on Ling Mohan, but now, it seemed that this plan could only be ruined.
Qin Shu couldn’t afford to offend him.
The night was very dark, and it was already eleven o’clock in the evening.
After Qin Shu finished washing up, she did not return to the master bedroom, which was Ling Mohan’s bedroom. Instead, she ran to another guest room.
She was obviously very tired, but she couldn’t fall asleep when she lay down.
She took out her phone and planned to play for a while before she fell asleep. She happened to see Su Xiaoya’s voice message.
“Darling, I don’t want to live at home anymore. Would you like to go out and rent a house to live with me?”
Qin Shu typed and replied, “What do you want to do?”
As Su Xiaoya received her reply and knew that Qin Shu was still awake, she directly called and said, “Darling, don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you. I just don’t want to live at home. I’m so tired of being told to find friends and being arranged to go on blind dates every day. Also, I, I still like him very much. Living with him and hearing him call his girlfriend every day made me feel uncomfortable in my heart…”
Su Xiaoya’s voice lowered, sounding very depressed.
“I’m really useless. I’ve been hiding out for four years, but when I come back and see him again, I’m done.” Qin Shu was a little annoyed that Su Xiaoya didn’t try to win. She rolled over and said, “So it’ll also be useless for you to move out. It’s better to have an openly secret crush on him.”
“I can’t do it.” Su Xiaoya began to act coquettishly. “Darling, live with me. I’ll pay the rent, so you just need to accompany me.”
“I can’t live with you,” Qin Shu said helplessly.
“Why?” Su Xiaoya was puzzled. “Wait! I remember, do you live with Ling Mohan? Are you two living together?”
Qin Shu acknowledged.
An ear-piercing scream immediately came from the other end of the phone.
Qin Shu quickly put her phone away from her ears.
Su Xiaoya said excitedly, “Oh my god, are you joking? Why are you living with him? Oh! Wait, let me think. It seems like you told me that he forced you to get married. So, my dear darling, you’ve been married to him?”
Qin Shu snorted and said unhappily, “What are you so excited about?”
“If you’re married, of course I’m happy for you.” Su Xiaoya said naturally. “Darling, don’t be angry. I’m serious. Ling Mohan is handsome and he’s the captain of the special forces soldiers. Furthermore, he is a colonel at a young age. In the future, he will definitely take a step forward.”
Qin Shu said resentfully, “You call me ‘Darling’ as if I’m important, but you don’t even care whether I want to marry him or not. Let me tell you, no matter how good a man is, if he treats his wife badly, what good is it for the woman who marries him?”
“So you don’t want to marry him?” Su Xiaoya stuck out her tongue.
“Of course not.” Qin Shu rolled her eyes.
“Fine. I thought you’ve put down your grudge.” Su Xiaoya said cautiously. After thinking for a while, she still couldn’t help but continue, “Are you hiding something from me? I don’t believe that you hate him until now because he left back then. In that case, you don’t seem to like him very much.”
Su Xiaoya only knew a little about what happened between Qin Shu and Ling Mohan three years ago, which was what Qin Shu wanted her to know.
“There’s nothing to hide.” Qin Shu said vaguely, “Forget it, don’t talk about me. You want to move out, but will Brother Mu Qian agree?”
In the eyes of outsiders, Mu Qian cared about his younger sister very much, even though this younger sister was not related to him by blood at all.
Su Xiaoya answered in annoyance, “He didn’t agree. He said that it’s not safe for me to live outside as a single girl, so I want to live with you. Then he will definitely agree.”
As she spoke, Su Xiaoya caught a glimpse of a familiar figure approaching from the corners of her eyes. She hurriedly lowered her voice and said, “Darling, he’s coming. I gotta go.”
