Chapter 44 — Indignation

　　When a man was embarra.s.sed, he would become… a little dangerous.

　　Qin Jiran was feeling shy, yes, but he was not about to admit it. Definitely not. Since changing the subject didn't work, it was time for Plan B—counter poison with poison!

　　He took a few steps forward and instantly, their height difference became obvious. With his taller one-meter-eighty-five1(185cm/6'0") frame, he towered over her. Su Yanyi was only one meter seventy2(170cm/5'6").

　　The height difference and his deliberate intimidation caused a vague sense of danger to wash over her, but she only c.o.c.ked an eyebrow in response.

　　Obviously, she wasn't afraid. Rather, she was interested in seeing what he would do next.

　　"Yanyi, it's late. Since you're not returning to your own room, do you plan on sleeping here tonight?" He emphasized the word "sleep" to remind her that ultimately, he was a man, and therefore, she should be more careful around him.

　　Qin Jiran didn't consider himself a gentleman. His indecent mind was only reined back by his love for her, but no matter how much self-control he possessed, he was still a man whose self-control was p.r.o.ne to snapping.

　　Tonight, he wasn't faring too well. Too many things had happened, so he wasn't in the right frame of mind to control his impulses. Now that he was being teased, he refused to take it lying down.

　　A look of surprise appeared on her face for an instant before getting replaced by a look of mild interest.

　　"Oh? You want to experience what it means to be a real husband and wife already?" she provoked.

　　She liked to be clean, so she hated being touched by others. Her private life before and after the marriage had always been chaste and simple.

　　However, she was not clueless.

　　She would really be too naive if she didn't understand the heavy implication behind Qin Jiran's words.

　　Unlike normal girls though, she didn't shrink back, and she wasn't the type to blush from being teased. Besides, even though it happened in her past life, nothing would change the fact that she'd already shown him her worst; as a result, she wasn't intimidated at all.
