Chapter 40 - Its Been Four Months (2/2)

Ning Qing’s heart beat like thunder. She could only hear her own heartbeat and deliberately slow breathing.

This nervousness came from the fact that she had never been so close to a man of the opposite sex.

She could not even breathe.

Just as she was about to suffocate, the man finally stopped.

She turned over, her face flustered and her eyes avoiding his.

She actually said, “Thank you.”

The warmth from Nian Lie’s fingertips did not dissipate as he looked at her with dark eyes.

Ning Qing’s face was a little hot. She stood there awkwardly and helplessly.

When she calmed down a little, she looked up and said tactfully, “It’s late. I need to rest.”

For the first time, Nian Lie replied, “Okay.”

Then, she watched as he stood up and wiped his hands with a tissue on the table. His movements were slow and organized, pleasing to the eye.

He stepped closer and looked past her.

Just as she thought he was going out, Nian Lie walked straight to her bed and lifted the blanket to lie down.

Ning Qing was shocked. “What are you doing?”

His voice was still clear and calm.

“Didn’t you say you were resting?”

Ning Qing did not know if he was doing this on purpose. She could not control her nerves, which had been tense the entire night.

She resisted the urge to remind him. “This is my room.”

“Let me remind you that this house is under my name.”

“…”

Nian Lie looked at the speechless woman and said coldly, “This is the master bedroom, and you are my wife.”

Ning Qing’s face turned from red to white.

Her stubbornness was a silent resistance.

However, Nian Lie said, “From now on, I’ll sleep here forever.”

The two words were very heavy, so heavy that Ning Qing felt powerless.

Her face was pale. She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth. “Then I…”

Before he could finish speaking, he responded to her next words.

“As a wife, Ning Qing, you know your obligations.

Don’t tell me you’re not even mentally prepared for this after four months.. “
