Chapter 76 - Don’t You Want Me Anymore? (2/2)

Jiang Shaocheng turned around and saw Tang Qiu rubbing her eyes, properly awake now. He sighed softly and walked to the bed to give her a light kiss. “I can’t sleep. I’m going to do some rehabilitation training.”

......

Tang Qiu glanced at the clock. “It’s 2am. That’s too early. You should sleep a little longer.”

Jiang Shaocheng wanted to go back to sleep too, but he couldn’t. He put his hands on the wheelchair and tried to sit down, but Tang Qiu stopped him. “Dear, rehabilitation training is important, but you need your rest, too.” She pushed him down, using her body to keep him there. “Be good and go to sleep. Your health is poor. You need to sleep for at least eight hours.”

“I really can’t sleep, Qiu. Get up, quickly.” Jiang Shaocheng thought he might explode from the heat. But she remained oblivious and continued to lie on him. He was truly afraid he might be exposed this time.

“It’s still early. I’ll sleep with you.” Tang Qiu got off him and tucked him in. She patted him gently, as if coaxing a child. “Sleep, dear…”

It was the last straw. He rolled over so his arms were caging her. “I… I can’t take this anymore, Qiu.”

“What…?” She made a noise of protest; he was too strong for her to break free.

A knock startled them both.

The haze of lust evaporated from Jiang Shaocheng’s vision, pulling him back to his senses. He looked down at the woman beneath him, biting his tongue as he finally let go of her. “Be good and go to sleep, Qiu. I have business to attend to. I’ll be out a while.”

Tang Qiu stared at the ceiling in a daze, not knowing what to do. Her sickly husband had become a predator–primal, starving, determined to devour her. He had practically ripped her clothes, and his hands were possessive on her soft flesh. She was hopelessly stunned and confused.

She pulled the covers up to her chin, but they carried his scent, making it even harder for her to breathe. She pushed the blanket aside and sat up. Why was her husband so strange tonight?
