Stunned by the abrupt voice, Qiu Ruoxi was momentarily paralyzed, her face instantly burning like fire.

Before she knew it, Ye Xunhuan had already emerged from the bathroom, standing not far in front of Qiu Ruoxi, looking at her with a confused expression.

At that moment, Qiu Ruoxi’s face was filled with shyness, and she wished she could crawl into a hole!

It’s over, it’s all over, when did this jerk come out of the bathroom? What did he hear her say?

How can this guy shower so quickly!

But little did Qiu Ruoxi know, the speed at which a man showers is generally proportional to the speed at which a woman undresses!

Looking at the blushing face of Qiu Ruoxi, Ye Xunhuan had no idea what was going on.

Did he say something wrong?

Otherwise, why would Qiu Ruoxi look like this?

"It’s... it’s nothing..." Qiu Ruoxi hurriedly spoke.

At that moment, Qiu Ruoxi’s voice was filled with panic and unease.

Seeing Qiu Ruoxi’s panicked and uneasy demeanor, Ye Xunhuan felt something was off, but he didn’t ask anything further and just chuckled lightly, "Honey, are you sure you want me to sleep here tonight?"

"What’s wrong?"

"Will it be on the floor, or like before the parents came, separated by a barrier like the Chuhe-Han border?" Ye Xunhuan chuckled.

Although Ye Xunhuan was surprised that Qiu Ruoxi had let him into her bedroom, he really wanted something exciting and heart-throbbing to happen between them!

But upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s remark, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but get carried away with endless daydreams; however, after the excitement, when he calmed down, Ye Xunhuan understood why Qiu Ruoxi wanted him to come to her bedroom.

It was simply because Song Yan had arrived today, and Qiu Ruoxi didn’t want Song Yan to know that she and Ye Xunhuan were married but slept in separate rooms!

So Ye Xunhuan had come here.

"Why do you say that?"

"Aren’t you afraid I might do something bad to you?" Ye Xunhuan chuckled lightly.

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart was suddenly filled with sorrow and bitterness!

The two of them were indeed husband and wife, legally married and protected by the law, yet they had always stayed out of each other’s way, clearly demarcated!

They were supposed to share a bed, but now he was asking whether to sleep on the floor or, like before, on the same bed, without interfering with each other!

Had she really been so cruel to him before?

Otherwise, with his temperament, why would he ask such a question?

"Or, let’s try tonight?" Qiu Ruoxi whispered with her attractive and frail red lips.

Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Ye Xunhuan immediately turned to stone on the spot, staring at Qiu Ruoxi wide-eyed.

Could it be that Su Guyan’s incident had deeply affected her, making Qiu Ruoxi realize that to keep a man’s heart, she must offer her body!

"Wife, I admit I do want you, but I really didn’t mean that just now. I know why you wanted me to come here today; it’s simply because Grandpa Song Yan is visiting, and you don’t want him to know the situation between the two of us. I understand!" Ye Xunhuan said lightly.

Ye Xunhuan admitted he had a strong possessive desire for Qiu Ruoxi, but he didn’t want to force her.

He had his own boundaries, and although he often desperately wanted to consummate their marriage immediately, if Qiu Ruoxi didn’t want to, Ye Xunhuan would absolutely not overstep his mark!

Not for anything else!

Because the woman in front of him was his wife, he would absolutely not force his own wife into doing such things!

Otherwise, when Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong had come here before, with Ye Xunhuan’s means, it would have been a piece of cake to make a fait accompli with Qiu Ruoxi!

But Ye Xunhuan didn’t do it, even sharing the same bed with Qiu Ruoxi without crossing that mark.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but he was considering Qiu Ruoxi’s feelings.

He couldn’t simply pursue his own temporary pleasure and make Qiu Ruoxi resent him for a lifetime. Qiu Ruoxi deserved respect too!

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qiu Ruoxi immediately shook her head, "You haven’t forced me, I am willing!"

"Wife, you’re not really upset about something, are you, doing this out of spite?" Ye Xunhuan’s gaze relentlessly swept over Qiu Ruoxi’s body: "If you are acting out of spite, I advise you to stop."

"It’s not worth it, you’ve said it yourself, I’m just your backup. If you give yourself to a backup, then you really can’t escape it in this lifetime..."

With Ye Xunhuan’s rambling words ringing in her ears, Qiu Ruoxi’s brows furrowed unintentionally: "I, a woman, am not afraid, so why are you, a big man, hesitating so much? You usually can’t wait to have me, and now you’ve lost steam today, are you just all talk..."

Facing Qiu Ruoxi’s sharp words, Ye Xunhuan immediately retorted, "Fuck, what do I have to be afraid of, I’m a grown man, besides, you are my wife, what harm could there be in me doing something, since it’s a consensual affair..."

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s slightly crude words, the blush on Qiu Ruoxi’s delicate cheeks deepened, "You... why do you speak so crudely..."

No matter how you looked at it, Ye Xunhuan was a nephew of the Qin family, the son of Qin Fenghuang, yet every word that came out of his mouth seemed to be corrupted!

Ye Xunhuan chuckled, "Isn’t it straightforward?"

"Wife, why did you keep asking me to take a shower, you were planning this all along, wanting to push me away, huh..."

At that moment, Ye Xunhuan reverted to his previous lecherous demeanor.

As the words left his mouth, Ye Xunhuan didn’t care for Qiu Ruoxi’s reaction and immediately lifted her off the ground and placed her on the bed!
