On her waist were his big and warm hands, on her back was his broad chest and on her neck she could feel his wisps of breath, which tingled her.

Qiao Lian’s body stiffened as she suddenly felt a surge of defiance.

She resisted subconsciously, trying to break free from his pull. However, she felt that the big hands wrapped around her waist would become stronger with each of her slight movements.

She didn’t dare to resist anymore, but she didn’t want to continue being held like this.

After some thought, she said calmly and emotionlessly, “Mr Shen, I’m not on my ovulating period today.”

Addressing him as Mr Shen was distant and cold. It made Shen Liangchuan frown, but the words that followed made him narrow his eyes.

So was Qiao Lian rejecting him now?

He paused for a moment and said, “There are three more days until your ovulating period.”

“So?”

“I heard that sperms can survive in the female body for three days. So we can start now.”

Qiao Lian clenched her fists instantly.

He was still in love with his First Love, wasn’t he? Why was he still doing this with her?

Moreover, he kept on repeating that it was for the sake of making her pregnant and what not, but these words were like spreading salt on her wound, only making her heart ache terribly.

The pangs of heartache hit her and made her say without any hesitation, “I don’t want to.”

As soon as these words escaped her mouth, the atmosphere in the room dropped in the blink of an eye.

She could sense the man’s displeasure behind her even without looking back.

After pushing him away in one go, Qiao Lian made her way directly to the bed without changing her clothes, and covered her head with the blanket.

Shen Liangchuan stared at the person on the bed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He had suddenly hugged her because he had wanted to relief some of her sadness. However, she had rejected him. In that case, shouldn’t he be the unhappy one?

Someone who didn’t know might think he bullied her, if they saw her hiding herself under the blanket.

Frowning, he stared at the blanket, which was moving constantly. At last, he said helplessly, “I’m taking a shower.”

Take a shower…

And then?

Since when did he care about her feelings?

Oh, no.

Last month, there had been a few instances where he had been gentle to her when they were doing it because he was in a good mood.

However, if she happened to provoke him, he would make her feel that doing it was a form of punishment.

So, Qiao Lian, do you have the right to reject him?

Just when her thoughts were running wild, she stopped hearing the water running in the bathroom. Then she saw him walk out, wrapped in a towel only. After washing up, he got onto the bed.

The lights in the room were switched off. As both of them lay in bed, they could hear each other’s distinct yet shallow breaths.

They lay quietly.

After a while, Shen Liangchuan reached out his hands to test the situation. He held her waist and realized that Qiao Lian wasn’t resisting.

Then he took a step further and realized that she was still not moving.

He could not see her expression in the dark, so he thought she was willing to do it. He then turned and pressed his body against hers.

Moments later, pieces of clothing flew out from under the blanket.

Afterwards, intimate sounds resounded in the room.

He couldn’t see that her expression was emotionless…

When Qiao Lian woke up the following day, it was already 8 a.m.

As she stared at the room blankly, she could feel the sore and painful change in her body and it dawned on her what had happened yesterday.

After washing up, she went downstairs, only to see the caretaker walk over with the glass of milk in her hands. “Madam, please drink the milk.”

However, Qiao Lian’s eyes fell on Shen Liangchuan, who was eating.

She clenched her fists and asked suddenly, “Can I not drink it?”
