Chapter 584: Chapter 584

Her face had already turned crimson, eyes glaring at him as she spoke, "You go out, I’ll do it myself!" The source of thɪs content is 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚✦𝕟𝕖𝕥

Her mood right now was very bad!

Thinking about how last night this man had tormented her, possibly thinking of another woman, she felt her heart starting to twinge. Although she did not love him, and there was in fact no love between them at all, she still felt extremely uncomfortable.

However, the man deeply looked at her once, and then directly reached out to undress her, with a tone carrying a bit of a husky low voice, and chuckled lightly, obviously in a good mood, "Lie down, I’ll apply the medicine for you, you must have gotten hurt last night!"

At this point, the man couldn’t help but frown, directly reaching out to open the bedside drawer, taking out a tube of ointment, glanced at the instructions on the box, and really intended to apply the medicine on Song Qiao.

Song Qiao, always bashful, not only blushed upon hearing the man’s words but instantly refused without thinking, her voice carrying a bit of impatience yet still suppressing her temper, said, "No need, you go out, I’ll figure it out myself!"

"Are you sure you can really do it yourself?" Lu Jingchen stopped his movements, yet looked at her with a half-smiling, half-serious expression, those eyes carrying obscure meanings, so deep that one couldn’t help but want to immerse themselves in them.

Song Qiao pursed her lips, directly propped herself up with her arms, scooted back a bit, but did not look at the man before her. Instead, she lowered her head, emotionless as she spoke, "I can apply the medicine myself, if I can’t then it’s not a big deal to go without, it’s not like I’ll die!"

He did not think about the consequences today while being with her last night, and now suddenly he’s playing the good guy. She couldn’t care less!

Lu Jingchen stood up, his tall and straight figure inherently putting pressure on the small woman sitting on the bed, he looked down at the delicate little face before him, perhaps having rested well and recovered, that small face the size of a palm carrying a touch of rosiness, but clearly no smile, indicating that Song Qiao was not in a good mood.

The two of them were silent between each other, for a while neither of them spoke, it was uncertain whether Lu Jingchen really listened to her words.

Song Qiao felt that the silence between them gave her a suffocating feeling, a hint of irritability flashed through her heart, she looked up directly at Lu Jingchen, but directly collided with those deep eyes.

After taking a deep breath, Song Qiao tried to soften her tone, only after a while did she speak, "You go out. I need to leave soon. I want to apply the medicine and get ready to go out early!"

"Where are you going?"

"I have plans with a colleague!" Actually, the plan was already made on Friday, but she suddenly forgot about it yesterday. Now that she remembered, she realized she and Lu An’an had agreed to go out for lunch today to discuss the new talents she was managing.

After all, Lu An’an was a well-known agent, having managed actors who are very promising, with the best becoming top stars, and the worst ones wavering between second and top tiers.

There were many things she didn’t understand and needed to discuss with Lu An’an!

"You said yesterday that we are going furniture shopping today. I have already instructed the driver, and we’ll go to the mall after breakfast!" Lu Jingchen slightly furrowed his brow, straightforwardly rejecting Song Qiao’s plans to go out, clearly one-sidedly deciding that Song Qiao could only stay by his side today to accompany him to buy furniture!

"We can go buy the furniture in the afternoon too, I already arranged to go out with my colleague today!" Trying hard to suppress her urge to get angry, Song Qiao knew she had no right to be angry with Lu Jingchen, especially since there was that $500,000 looming between them. If she couldn’t repay the $500,000 Lu Jingchen provided for her grandfather’s surgery, it would mean she was sold to him.

This was also the reason why... this was why, last night when this man forced himself on her, she struggled briefly before giving up.

She was afraid that if she annoyed this man, he wouldn’t help with the $500,000 for her grandfather’s surgery.

"You’re not allowed to go!" The man issued a command without a second thought, his expression turning sour, his voice a bit low, "Song Qiao, what exactly is your problem this early in the morning?"

He wasn’t blind, he could see that Song Qiao was upset and unhappy. He admitted that he was a bit too harsh on her last night, and had apologized already.

He liked obedient women, not those who constantly irritated him.

When he first married Song Qiao, the first reason was because she seemed like the kind of obedient little woman, and secondly, Song Qiao wasn’t foolish and was actually very clever, knowing to restrain herself in many matters, such as her temper.

But now, clearly, Song Qiao was starting to show her temper, and it was obvious that she had grievances against him, apparently feeling a reluctance to see him.

Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but start to feel a bit irritable.

This feeling was even more displeasing than when he saw Zuo Yuqing yesterday, and his complexion couldn’t help but turn cold.

Song Qiao looked at Lu Jingchen’s suddenly cold face, and hearing his words caused her to be stunned, her heart immediately felt as if a heavy stone had pressed down on it, making even breathing somewhat difficult!

The incident from last night had already made her very upset, and now her dissatisfaction with this man deepened even more. She bit her lip and a confused smile appeared on her face, still defiantly said, "I’m not throwing a tantrum, I understand my own status, so I won’t cause any trouble with you. I said I can apply the medicine myself, it’s not that difficult..."

The man looked at her small face, thinking that her smile was particularly irritating compared to her previous sullen look, and his eyes grew darker, and he coldly sneered, "I really don’t know what status you think you have!"

Song Qiao looked up at him, her slender white hands tightly gripping the blanket beneath her, carefully articulating each word, "The reason you were willing to give me 500,000 for my grandfather’s surgery is because you thought you could buy me with that 500,000..."

"Are you worth that 500,000?" Before Song Qiao could finish, Lu Jingchen interrupted her, his face full of scornful laughter, "The question is, Song Qiao, do you really think you’re worth that 500,000?"

Song Qiao’s face changed, her eyes widened in shock as she looked at the man before her, seemingly unable to believe he would say such things.

"Song Qiao!" He called her name again, with an unnameable undertone, yet still asked, "What if I insist on applying the medicine myself? For that 500,000, you wouldn’t refuse, would you?"

The little face drained of all color in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, the girl’s tears fell like pearls off a string, yet her face showed no signs of crying, and she looked even uglier than if she were crying!

Lu Jingchen was startled by Song Qiao’s sudden change, his expression turning sour, and he immediately bent down to embrace the girl, who was sitting there crying non-stop, looking accusingly at him. His hand, somewhat unnatural and even a bit stiff, wiped the tears from her face as he awkwardly said, "What are you crying for? You just started crying all of a sudden, I haven’t bullied you, people might think I’ve done something to you if they didn’t know any better!"

Song Qiao continued crying, pushing him away, her voice filled with grievance, "Lu Jingchen, I really hate you now, go away, don’t touch me, I don’t like you anymore!"

This man is too despicable, having bullied her all last night while drunk, and now he continues to torment her, saying such hurtful words.

He’s simply utterly vile!

He grabbed her hands pushing him away, but he suddenly pinned her down on the bed, restraining both her hands with one of his, and with his other hand gripping her chin and sneering, "Who knew which woman was throwing a tantrum just now, I kindly wanted to help apply the medicine, but you directly refused and started making a fuss? You started crying before anything was even said, when did you become Princess Pea? Huh?"

The little woman’s face was streaked with tears, continuously rolling down and vanishing into her hair, or perhaps falling into the pillow, looking somewhat heartbroken yet without a sound of crying.

Lu Jingchen began to feel that this little woman was doing it on purpose. If she really wanted to cry, she would have already cried loudly, not just silently shedding tears.

"You’re the real Princess Pea!"

Song Qiao was completely restrained, unable to even move her hands. She raised her foot to kick him, but the man seemed to anticipate it, immediately using his legs to pin hers down. His voice carried a hint of amusement, his deep black eyes intensely watching her as he calmly said, "Be careful with your foot. If you kick the wrong spot, you might end up a widow for the rest of your life!"

Song Qiao, "..." How could this man be so shameless?

Tightly pressing her lips together, she remained silent, simply glaring at him, silently accusing!

The difference in strength between a woman and a man was evident, and coupled with being exhausted from last night’s ordeal, Song Qiao was now unable to exert any strength at all, and no matter how much she struggled, she couldn’t push the man away!

Her eyes misty with tears appeared pitiful, especially her red lips, which were exceedingly tempting!

Lu Jingchen couldn’t resist, he gripped her chin and lowered his head to kiss her.

But, he just kissed her briefly and did nothing more, especially considering that it was Song Qiao’s first time last night, and she might still be injured!

With a blush on her cheeks, Song Qiao looked at the man before her with slightly unsteady breath, and she heard Lu Jingchen’s deep, pleasant voice say, "Qiaoqiao, would it not be nice to just obediently stay by my side? I like women who are obedient, so Qiaoqiao, be a bit more obedient. I’ll treat you well and spoil you, okay? Will that be fine?"
