Chapter 0063 – Punishment (1 / 2)

“Couldn’t it have been simply a matter of thinking about it?”

Her voice seemed a little feeble, with a hint of self-justification.

“Su Wanqing, are you sure?”

There was no warmth in his eyes as he looked at her, and his tone was so flat as to be almost cold, as if he could see into her deepest secrets.

She subconsciously lowered her eyes in an attempt to escape the razor-sharp scrutiny, but his hand gently but firmly lifted her chin, an imperceptible hint of annoyance flickering in his eyes, “Why are you afraid to look at me straight in the eye?”

There was a hint of resentment implied in the questioning, like a small punishment for her evasive attitude.

“At that time, I was just thinking, if Li Yanzhou was involved in the Northern Yi northern suburb project, why didn’t he mention a word to me about …… Qin Mingxu’s arrival in Jiang City this time, and I only learned about it a short while ago, so …… I’m speculating on whether or not there is a factors that we have not grasped.”

She looked calm and her tone was even as she tried to explain her train of thought.

The irritation in Qi Zhi Iu’s eyes, although slightly converged, did not completely dissipate, “What kind of unknown factors?”

His pursuing questions pressed step by step, causing Su Wanqing’s heart to accelerate as if it was tightly clutched by an invisible hand, and it was difficult to control the accelerated beating.

“Do I have to answer?”

She laughed bitterly in her heart, in reality there was no ulterior motive, it was only Qi Zhi Iu’s temperamental character that made her have to keep a few more eyes open.

“There’s no harm in not answering.”

Qi Zhiyu’s fingers gently rubbed her chin, a hint of playfulness in her eyes as if she was playing a dangerous and exciting game, “Then how about taking one less emergency contraceptive pill as a price?”

His proposal was like ice water poured over his head, causing Su Wanqing’s heart to suddenly tighten, and a chill went straight to her head from the bottom of her feet.

Li Shenyuan’s cooperation with Qin Ming Xu was undoubtedly a hidden worry for Li Yanzhou, and at such a critical moment, she couldn’t let Qi Zhiyu add more variables.

“Okay.”

She compromised, her voice low and penetrating.

As the words fell, Qi Zhi Iu’s face became even more somber, like the sky on the eve of a storm, heavy and depressing.

“Wait for me in the bedroom.”

His words were like an order, low and full of suppressed anger, and he pushed her away violently.

Su Wanqing didn’t dare to delay, and turned around in a hurry, leaving at a hurried pace without looking back, leaving only a room of silence and uneasiness.

Back in her bedroom, she leaned her back against the door and took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in her mind.

Calculating the time, these days are in her danger period, during the day Qi Zhi Iu has already had a request, if tonight again ……

And no medication ……

“Really shouldn’t have agreed on impulse.”

She thought to herself.

The hustle and bustle of the day combined with the constriction of the gown had left her feeling exhausted.

After showering, she changed into loose home clothes and felt lighter both physically and mentally.

He was about to go downstairs to find some food to eat when the doorway opened and Qi Zhi Iu appeared in front of him with a dinner plate in his hand.

He was half undressed, his shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows, looking casual but not overly sexy, and the tantalizing aroma of the meal on his plate caused her stomach to protest uncontrollably.

“Dinner’s here.”

His voice broke the stillness of the room, and the aroma of the meal was even more appetizing, as a distinct gurgling sound came from her stomach, and she covered her stomach in embarrassment as she followed his lead into the room.
