Chapter 238 - 120: Awkwardness
Shi Fengju was initially puzzled, but seeing his wife’s bashful and shy demeanor, he understood. Excitement and amusement subconsciously surged in him. He crooked his lips slightly, deliberately avoiding the subject, curious to see what she would do.
"It’s getting late, let’s rest early! We have things to do tomorrow!" Shi Fengju casually spoke as usual.
"But—" Sang Wan furrowed her brows, "there’s only one quilt here, how are we supposed to sleep..."
"It’s fine, we can make do!" When else to feign ignorance and pretend to be foolish if not now?
"You!" Sang Wan’s eyes reddened as she turned her back to him.
What does he mean by this? According to the contract, next year he was supposed to divorce her, send her away from the Shi Mansion, and fly side by side with his beloved childhood sweetheart, his cousin. And yet here he was, speaking such shameless words? What does he take her, Sang Wan, for?
Shi Fengju was also anxious; he quickly stepped forward, grabbing her arm and saying, "Miss Wan, I didn’t mean anything else! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, please don’t be angry!"
Shi Fengju’s eyes dimmed. He thought to himself that it seemed she was determined to keep her distance, determined to leave him! He had tested the waters many times, but her attitude never changed! Oh Miss Wan, how do I feel about you—can’t you sense it at all? I want to stay by your side, to live in harmony, only if you...!
Sang Wan picked up her handkerchief to wipe away tears, twisting her body to break free from his hold.
"Miss Wan, sorry, please don’t be angry! It was just a joke!" Shi Fengju forced a bitter smile, continuously apologizing. His hand hung by his side, clenched tightly—Miss Wan, oh Miss Wan, unless I let you go, you won’t leave; even if you were a stone, I would have to warm you up!
