He Yu turned around and returned to the small black room. He had planned to put these things away. After all, she was so obedient now, so he didn’t need these things. However, he was too busy today and forgot. Before he could deal with them, these things were discovered.

He Yu stood in the small black room, his expression gradually darkening. After a long time, he picked up the whip and swung it around his body a few times. His black shirt instantly tore open, and there was some liquid on the whip. A few blood-red whip marks appeared on He Yu’s abs and back.

Then, he threw away the whip and left. The more he doted on Chu Xi, the more ruthless he was to himself now.

Every night, he would only feel at ease if he hugged Chu Xi to sleep. If she wasn’t in his arms, He Yu would feel terrible. Perhaps he was really a demon, a demon who lived on love. He could only have one partner in his life. Once he was abandoned or forgotten by his partner, without anyone having to do anything, he would gradually lose his vitality.

Knock knock…

There was knocking on the door again.

Chu Xi was about to fall asleep when she heard the knocking. As she rubbed her eyes, she thought of He Yu’s words and put down her hand.

The knocking didn’t stop.

Chu Xi pursed her lips. She suddenly felt that she didn’t know He Yu that well now and didn’t know how to face him.

As she lay under the blanket, she would wake up from time to time after sleeping for a while. The only thing that didn’t change was the persistent knocking on the door.

It was neither light nor heavy, but every knock tugged at Chu Xi’s heart. She let out a long sigh and chose to compromise. She wanted to hear He Yu’s explanation. If he couldn’t explain, they could only get a divorce.

Chu Xi wasn’t a hopeless romantic. If she was, she would have waited for Li Jinchen instead of choosing to marry He Yu.

She stood up and opened the door. Normally, He Yu would have rushed forward to hug her. He looked very tall and imposing, but only Chu Xi knew that he was very clingy and needy.

He Yu stood obediently at the door. His face was pale. There were a few cracks on his black shirt and there were some bloodstains on the edges. Although it had been a while, the smell of blood was still strong.

Chu Xi stared at him in shock. “What happened to you?”

“Do you still remember what I said just now? That’s my confinement room. I made you angry and made you worry, so I have to be punished accordingly.”

It turned out that that place was used to punish him. But there was no need to use such extreme methods!

As Chu Xi looked at the hideous whip marks with blood on his body, she wondered, how much strength had he used? Tears fell from her eyes.

“He Yu, you bastard…”

“You… You could have hit any place, but you just had to hit my favorite…”

Although she was very angry when she locked the door, she still changed into the pajamas he liked when she slept. After she threw herself into He Yu’s arms, she saw that He Yu’s abs were also injured. She cried even more miserably, “Boohoo… He Yu… Boohoo, can this wound heal? What if it leaves a scar? Boohoo…”

He Yu said, “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”

Chu Xi asked, “Does it hurt? How about you apply some ointment? Why don’t we go to the hospital?”

He Yu said, “It really doesn’t hurt. It’s okay.”

He Yu held Chu Xi tightly in his arms with a deranged smile on his face. He had long known how to endure pain. In the past, when he didn’t have Chu Xi by his side, no one would care if he was in pain or not, let alone trust him even after seeing his true colors and throw herself into his arms. What should he do? He loved her even more now. He was even more reluctant to let go.

Chu Xi, are you willing to love a demon?

Chu Xi couldn’t respond to him. She was carefully applying ointment for him. “Does it hurt?”

He Yu nodded.

Chu Xi looked around but didn’t see anything that could stop the pain. She could only lean down and blow at his wound as she said softly, “You’ll feel better soon.”

He Yu suddenly realized that pretending to act tough didn’t seem to work at this moment. Therefore, he acted like he was getting weaker and weaker. Even his forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat. Then, he collapsed on Chu Xi’s soft and fair thigh with a sickly appearance.

The bridge of his nose was high and straight. As he rubbed against Chu Xi’s silk pajamas, he sniffed her fragrance. He wished he could bury his face in her soft stomach.

“Ugh…” Chu Xi protested softly, “Hubby, your nose is poking my flesh. It’s uncomfortable.”

He Yu frowned slightly. His attentive care seemed to have made this little woman too finicky. What a privileged worry.
