Chapter 47: Don’t go, I didn’t mean that just now.

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

To be fair, although the reason she and Song Chuyi got married was because they both wanted the benefits of marriage, he and the Song family didn’t skimp on the supposed etiquette of a marriage with regards to her when she married into their family. She was actually very grateful to them for this.

She didn’t mind that Song Chuyi didn’t love her, but she needed Song Chuyi to visit the Yan family occasionally.

“Don’t…” she came up to him with her head hung down and her eyelids trembling. “Don’t go. I didn’t mean that just now.”

Her last few words were spoken in an extremely soft and feeble tone.

Song Chuyi’s pupils contracted a little upon hearing her request, but shortly after, he looked down at her and replied, “If you don’t want me to leave, please keep in mind that we’re married. I won’t interfere with your career, your hobbies, and your outings with your friends, but you will have to respect our marriage too.”

Changqing felt quite indignant inside. When had she not respected their marriage?

Although she felt that way, she didn’t want to argue with him. In the end, she nodded her head obediently.

“Okay. I’m going to sleep now,” Song Chuyi said as he patted her head and proceeded to take off his shirt before lying down on the bed.

Changqing then went downstairs to take a shower. Although he saw that, he didn’t say a word about it. By the time Changqing came back to the room after her shower, Song Chuyi was already in deep sleep.

After using the computer in the study for a while for leisure purposes, she laid down a mattress on the floor beside her bed again like last time.

As she was falling asleep, a desolate feeling inevitably crept into her heart. Aren’t men supposed to be chivalrous and considerate towards women? Why’s he sleeping on my bed while I have to sleep on the floor every time?

This is so miserable…

What was even worse about sleeping on the floor was that in the middle of the night, someone stepped on her thigh after she finally fell asleep with much difficulty.

She woke up from the pain and happened to see Song Chuyi’s blurry silhouette with the help of the moonlight.

“Song Chuyi! Why did you step on me?” She was furious. “It hurts so much!”

“Why are you sleeping on the floor next to the bed in the first place? It’s obvious there would be a high chance that I would step on you if I went to the toilet in the middle of the night.” Song Chuyi was fuming as well. He was almost tripped by her.

“Obviously, with you occupying my bed, I could only sleep on the floor.” Changqing refuted with her mouth puckered while she rubbed her thigh at the same time.

After frowning in response, Song Chuyi started to walk towards the toilet with large strides, ignoring her.

While still feeling irritated, Changqing twisted her body and turned on the mattress before continuing her sleep.

Within minutes of her shutting her eyes, her quilt was suddenly lifted up and her body was subsequently pulled into the support of a pair of strong muscular arms. This made her scream and struggle.

“Stop screaming! You’re making a din in the middle of the night!” Song Chuyi scolded her as he put her down on the bed, feeling annoyed.

After being let down, she paused for a moment as she thought he was being nice and finally decided to change beds with her. But who would’ve thought that moments later, he would lie down and sleep next to her on the bed.

When she realized what had happened, she instantly tried to climb down from the bed. However, Song Chuyi grabbed her elbow and stopped her. “Sleep on the bed. The floor is too chilly to sleep on in the summer. The bed has enough space for both of us. I won’t touch you either.”

“How can I be sure? Especially when it comes to you, a person who can’t keep his word.” Changqing hadn’t forgotten how he treated her yesterday.

“Are you going to sleep or not? I’ll seriously lay my hands on you if you don’t start sleeping now.” Song Chuyi had done an extensive surgery for five full hours, and such surgeries were often times mentally exhausting. He was honestly extremely fatigued and sleepy. He had run out of patience and was now quick in showing his displeasure from listening at her nagging in the middle of the night, unlike his usual self.

Sparks were spewing from his cold eyes.

——-

Changqing, the paper tiger, was frightened by him. She cowered along the edge of the bed timidly and was afraid to speak another word again.

At around three o’clock in the morning, Song Chuyi woke up. When he noticed the small arm resting on his chest and thigh that was around his waist in the dark, he instantly regretted carrying Changqing onto the bed.

It wasn’t that long ago that she acted like a shrew vigorously protecting her chastity, and she even showed a frightened expression on her face for fear that he would lay his hands on her.

However, after some time, she was now persistently trying to climb onto him instead.
