Two-Faced Husband, Have Some Decency!

On that occasion, however, the extra pressure produced shockwaves of pain, making her shudder severely. The pain nearly made her cry, and although she attempted to hold it in, her slight tearing-up still stained his clothes.

Qi Chengzhi’s hands were touching the exact spot that was subjected to Liang Lihua’s attack. The burning sensation was still present even without any form of contact, and she dreaded having to lay her head on the pillow when she slept later that night.

Feeling the sudden warmth, he knit his brows even more tensely. With a firm grip on her shoulders, he removed her from him and he tilted her head up slightly, forcing her to look up at him.

The tears in her eyes tugged on his heartstrings.

”What’s going on really?” his hoarse voice asked, penetrating deep into the abyss of Song Yu’s heart.

She grasped the back of his shirt and fired back a question. ”You don’t want to marry me?”

A sigh from Qi Chengzhi. ”Are you really going to do this right now?”

He sat beside her and carried her up onto his lap. His hands locked her waist in place.

”When I went to the company to look for you this afternoon, I saw Liang Lihua.” Qi Chengzhi answered rather curtly. ”I don’t think she went to the café at your company building lobby just to get a cup of coffee.”

Song Yu kept quiet, finally realizing that the unhappiness she heard through the phone was because he was unhappy at her for keeping it from him.

”Are you planning not to tell me?” Qi Chengzhi whispered. His husky voice entered her ear and made her feel warm.

Fed up with the world, Song Yu buried her head into his neck, hugging him tightly. His embrace seemed to be the only place in the world where she could relieve herself of her stresses.

”I’ve had enough with them! Everyone’s coming to me, thinking that what they’re doing to me is right, trying to control and manipulate me. How could they be so unashamed of themselves?”

Qi Chengzhi tested the waters by touching her head again. Song Yu did not attempt to conceal her trembling because the pain was akin to having her entire head split open.

When Liang Lihua initially pulled on her head, the pain was intolerable, but not by much. As the day progressed, the pain came in waves, becoming more and more unbearable.

Qi Chengzhi parted her hair as fast as he could but making sure to be extremely careful when doing so. He saw red streaks on her scalp.

His expression and voice turned cold. ”Did Liang Lihua do this?”

Song Yu wanted to hide it because she knew he would be worried, and he was.

Although there was no concealing it anymore, she was still a bit hesitant.

”Do you want me to check the CCTV footage from the café?” He stopped touching her hindbrain but instead hugged her tightly.

”I think she’s crazy,” Song Yu finally blurted out. It was rather traumatizing to recall Liang Lihua’s dementedness. ”Yu Zixiu was the first to come to look for me this afternoon. He heard the news that we were going to get married, and he wanted to make amends with me so he could get to you.”

Song Yu told him everything that transpired earlier that afternoon, including the fact that Jian Yi helped her.

A good heart-to-heart talk would be pointless without honesty.

”So, were you in his car when I called you this afternoon?” Qi Chengzhi cocked a brow rather mockingly.

”I didn’t want you to get worried. If I told you the truth, you’d want to know every single detail from the very beginning.” Song Yu then continued weakly, ”To be honest, I didn’t want to tell you about everything that happened in the afternoon. You already have enough to think about, and ever since we got together, you’ve always been the one who endured all the bad things, whether it was from the Qi family, the Song family, or someone else.”

Neither weariness nor annoyance was present in his expression. Song Yu looked up at him and noticed how he did not look irritated at all. His handsome face seemed to be reassuring her.

Song Yu gave him a peck on his lower jaw. His stubble was nearly unnoticeable because his jaw looked smooth to the naked eye. When kissed, however, she could feel how prickly and masculine it was.
