Chapter 50: How Can We Go to Bed If We're Not Together?

  "No, no, no. Not that. I just...I just..." Leng Xi waved her hands repeatedly, flustered and embarrassed. Her small face turned bright red, and her dark eyes darted about in a panic. When she got anxious, all the words got jumbled up and she didn't know how to express herself or get them out of her mouth.

  She held her hands in front of her, nodding and blinking her eyes, wanting to say something but not knowing how to express it. Her nervousness made her feel a bit dizzy. "I just thought we don't have to be together every day..." She blushed and was too tense to dare look at him.

  He stood with a scrutinizing posture, his eyes coldly raised as if he were a judge, gazing at her. When she finally spoke up, he rose to his feet and approached her with elegant steps. A strong aura enveloped her, forcing Leng Xi to take a step back.

  He suddenly pinched her waist, and the numbness transmitted from the touch made Cold Creek tremble slightly. She raised her eyes to look at him, but saw his narrow eyes gleaming with a wicked and cold light, like a deep pool of water that seemed to be sucking in people's souls with an icy glow. It made Cold Creek's heart shrink tightly.

  "How can we go to bed without being together? Don't tell me that when I want you, I still have to call you and wait for you to slowly come over. The sound quality is as rich as a hundred-year-old red wine, magnetic enough to bewitch people's hearts, and sexy enough to make people indulge in it."

  But then Leng Xi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, jumping up and down. She lowered her head in embarrassment, her small face burning red. "I... I'm telling the truth..." She tensely awaited his response, but got an answer that was too evil, too shameful, and also made her heart ache secretly. Was he with her just for that? Did he keep her by his side just to make it convenient for him to get into bed?

  His hand, which had been holding her waist, suddenly tightened its grip. Ling Han's mouth curled up in a cold and arrogant smile as he said in a suave tone, "You think I want to become an ordinary, weak-willed man who spends all his time thinking about you and playing games with you? Don't overestimate my patience. You should know that when the desire is strong, I don't have the patience to wait." As he spoke calmly, it seemed as if he was discussing something with her, but the strong, unyielding atmosphere had already intimidated her into submission.

  "Can't you find another woman?" Leng Xi lowered his head, biting his red lips. This sentence unknowingly slipped out of his mouth. Perhaps it was because he was still resentful about what happened with that other woman tonight. Or perhaps it was because the bitterness and resentment in his heart had become too much to bear. He had been holding it in for half a day, but finally couldn't help but let out this complaint.

  As soon as the words came out, Ling Han's eyes sank suddenly, and the patience on his face disappeared. It was replaced by a coldness that was still cold. She was telling him to go find another woman.

  Even if he slept with another woman, she didn't care. Suddenly, she realized that she didn't seem to mind at all whether his body belonged only to her or not. Flames of anger suddenly burst forth from her veins onto her skin. There was a hallucination that wanted to burn him to ashes.

  Her eyes met his for a moment, and suddenly he realized that he was inexplicably on the verge of losing his temper with himself. Ling Han couldn't help but laugh at himself. He was someone who was very good at controlling his emotions. In business, he was a master of not showing his emotions. But somehow, whenever he was in front of this woman, he would always lose control and become irritable.

  He is a free and unbridled person by nature. He has an affair with another woman, so what? Even if he had many affairs, it wouldn't be her turn to ask questions as just one of the women.

  Control your emotions. He coldly lifted her delicate chin, but still couldn't suppress the threads of anger in his voice. "Don't think that just because you've slept with me a few times, you can interfere with my life as you please. I'm not a philanthropist, I don't have time to spare patience for you. You have two choices: one, stay by my side and continue being my woman, doing what you're supposed to do. Two, move out of this house, live your own life, and I'll live mine. From now on, we'll just be strangers who've never met before. Go think about it in the bathroom, and tell me when you've made up your mind." As he spoke, he had already forcefully pushed her into the bathroom and slammed the door shut with a "bang".

  Zhendelengxi leng le leng. Ta naozi hundun de. Wanquan bu zhidao xianzai shi shenme zhuangtai. Shiqing zenme hui fazhan cheng xianzai zheli yangzi.

  English Translation:

  Leng Creek was stunned. Her mind was dizzy. She had no idea what the situation was now. How did things develop into this state?

  She didn't want to interfere with his life. She was just afraid that she couldn't bear his unruliness and would end up blaming him, wanting to control him. That's why she suggested living separately. This way, she might not be so dependent, not so heartbroken. And he could do as he pleased, right?

  Why can't he understand?

  The warmth beside him was gone. The air suddenly became a bit cold. Leng Xi rubbed her slightly chilled arms, blinking her eyes as she thought about what he had just said.

  Two choices. If she chose the second one, she might never see him again. He was a man of his word and would really ignore her from then on.

  Leave or stay. Lengxi was bewildered. My head hurts a bit.

  Standing by the mirror, looking at myself inside. The face under the black hair is red and swollen all over. The weak and pale lips are cracked. The red and swollen palm print on half of my face is still there. It hurts a lot just to touch it. This was him suddenly getting angry and hitting me two days ago.

  She looked at her neck again, where the faint purple mark still lingered, also left by him, two days ago. He didn't know what was wrong with him, as soon as he came back, he lost his temper, and didn't know gentleness, like a wolf and a tiger, he had taken her many times, making her exhausted, but still not letting her go. In the end, he even wanted her to use her mouth to clean his thing, it was too evil. He also slapped her in the face, pushed her, she was already exhausted, and he still pushed her down alone in the bathroom, ignoring her. Ling Han was really too bad.

  Leng Xi bit her lip, her small face flushing red with shame and anger. Thinking of his misdeeds, she felt annoyed and wanted to leave him for good. She didn't want to worry about him anymore, nor did she want to think about him again.

  But when these thoughts floated in her mind, why did her heart inexplicably ache? It was as if she had borne a heavy burden, and the dull pain followed her like a shadow.

  As soon as she thinks of Ling Han, she wants to cry. The her from before had no idea what it meant to miss someone. She was used to being alone and didn't have any attachments or heartaches. When things got tough, she could make decisions without any hesitation.

  But now, her heart is no longer hers alone. Every time she thinks of him, a strange pain grows in her heart, yet amidst the pain, there's a sweet aftertaste. Her heart is entwined with his like a lotus thread.

  Actually, sometimes Ling Han is quite good. When she's injured, he'll take her to the hospital and worry that she might leave a scar. He's also afraid that others will bully her, so he specially teaches her about reason, helps her bathe, applies medicine for her, helps her... even helps her change sanitary napkins.

  It all started from here, because when she was at her most miserable, he didn't despise her and took her in, even helping her change her sanitary napkin. I'm moved, my heart warmed up from this moment on.

  Love is sometimes like this. No need for too many words. Just a moment of heart movement. Then all are fixed in place.

  Nuo Nuo walked out. Ling Han lazily leaned on the bed, half-closing his eyes, lost in thought.

  He saw her coming out of the cold creek, Leng Han sat up straight with a slight chill. His whole body tensed up involuntarily, his jaw clenched tightly as he watched her walk closer step by step. But his heart was somewhat panicked.

  It's time for her to announce the answer.

  He suddenly regretted giving her two options earlier. When did he become so merciful and give people room to choose? This was not like him at all.

  He should be very angry and tyrannical, directly rejecting her request. Or forcefully pulling her to immediately punish her on the spot. Not giving her any chance to breathe. Daring to set conditions for Ling Han is truly too bold.

  But he inexplicably gave her a choice, and now his heart is filled with regret.

  He narrowed his long eyes, staring tightly at her, thinking domineeringly that if she chose the second option, he would absolutely not let her off easily.

  Isn't she He Quan's daughter? He Quan let her endure the reputation of being a wild child for over ten years.

  If she dares to leave him, he will also let her taste the humiliation of being pointed at and spat on, making her wish she were dead. Ling Han found an excuse for his own tension in his heart.

  She still came to his side, sat down beside him, and although her body was slender, it still had weight. As soon as she sat down, the soft bed sank down a little, causing Ling Han's tightly wrapped body to move slightly.

  Under his intense gaze, she finally spoke up, but it was something he absolutely did not expect to hear.

  "You have too many wounds on your body, I'll go get the medicine." She said as she got up and went to the cabinet to fetch the first-aid kit. "Your whole body is covered in bruises, was it from dodging bullets yesterday?" Leng Xi said as she took out the medicinal wine.

  "Hmm." She responded with a faint and cold tone. Nothing else was said. She obediently turned her back to him, revealing her wounds to her.

  She rubbed the medicinal wine on his sturdy and lean muscles. How hard a man's flesh was! Under his robust physique, she looked so tiny and soft. She massaged him with all her might and patience, getting tired and sweating profusely.

  Ling Han seems to be enjoying her fussing over him, not even helping her, even when she's exhausted and panting. He appears to be lounging lazily with his eyes closed, being waited on very comfortably.

  Ling Han's muscles were robust and powerful. The area where he had applied the medicinal wine was slightly reddened. His wheat-colored skin seemed to emanate an even more sensual aura. Cold Creek felt a sudden itch in his heart, swallowed hard, and stared blankly at Ling Han's back before slowly pressing his face against it. He wrapped his arms around Ling Han's waist, shifted his head, and found the most comfortable position, leaning his entire body against Ling Han's back. "Ling Han..."

  His body tensed up obviously. His entire heart was strained tight. She was about to announce the answer. "Uh..." He responded lightly, covering up his nervousness, waiting for her response.
