Chapter 1149: Not Deserving
As the sting of the slap registered on Chen Yu’s face, he was jolted from his stupor.
Anger flared in his chest as he grabbed his wife’s wrist and yanked her back into his embrace. "What’s this? Am I not allowed to touch you anymore?" he growled, his voice low with frustration.
Before she could respond, he crushed his lips to hers, his kiss fervent and forceful. His hands slid with practiced ease to her chest, kneading her breast in a possessive grip. Beneath him, he could feel the familiar pressure against her stomach—his arousal unmistakable.
The years had been kind to Sun Yi, her body now fuller, the curves of a woman who had borne children and lived with grace. He still found her irresistible, yet something had changed, something he couldn’t quite grasp. The distance between them had widened, a quiet chasm he was unwilling to confront.
At home, whenever he had tried to initiate intimacy, she had avoided him—either claiming work or a need to attend to the children. He had come to understand that she no longer desired him, and the realization gnawed at him.
He was a man with normal needs, and while he played the part of a dutiful husband in public, he couldn’t help but wonder if she had found someone else. The thought made him seethe with jealousy, a madness brewing beneath his skin.
Sun Yi slapped his cheek once more.
She pushed him away with renewed force, standing tall as she smoothed down her gown, her voice cold as ice. "Chen Yu, don’t forget. It was my family that helped you with that mess last time. What right do you have to demand anything from me? If I don’t want you, you won’t have me."
