Shen Manting only stared at Lin Li on the TV because she had seen him in her dreams before! It was after that interview that he was brutally murdered and run over by a large truck.

The matter was later found to be related to Xue Corporation, and the Xue family had paid a great price to bury the matter. However, it was also because of the incident that she became more distant and afraid of Xue Chenkong. The more distant she was, the crazier he became, and his illness became more and more serious by the day…

Xue Chenkong smelled the fragrance on Shen Manting’s body, and his body stiffened. He turned around stiffly and saw the disappointment in Shen Manting’s eyes. There was panic in his eyes. “Ah Ting, I… ”

“I don’t even know him. What are you doing? ” Shen Manting looked at him with a pained expression.

Hearing that, Xue Chenkong had a hurt look in his eyes. He sneered and clenched his fists. “So you’re siding him, Ah Ting? ”

Shen Manting tried her best to soften her voice and emphasized again, “I don’t even know him. Why would I side him? What are you doing now? ”

“You were staring at him just now. ” Xue Chenkong spoke with certainty, as if he had caught them in bed.

“I… ” Shen Manting felt helpless. She didn’t understand what she could say to make him feel a little safer. They were already married. Wasn’t that enough? Shen Manting’s mind was a mess. She was also thinking about how to persuade him to avoid a disaster.

However, in Xue Chenkong’s eyes, Shen Manting’s hemming and hawing behavior meant that she was hiding something from him. Seemingly disappointed and impatient, he turned to leave.

Shen Manting looked at his lonely back and felt sad. “Xue Chenkong, stop right there! ” she shouted at his back, then ran over and hugged his waist from behind. “Just listen to me on this matter. He’s just an irrelevant person. Don’t deal with him, or I’ll really be angry. ”

Did Xue Chenkong hear that she was going to get angry at him because of someone who had nothing to do with her? The atmosphere around them immediately turned to freezing point. Xue Chenkong suddenly turned around and pressed Shen Manting against the wall of the garden. His expression was as fierce as a beast as he queried, “You’re angry with me for another man? ”

Shen Manting’s chest was pressed against the wall, and her breath was almost sucked dry. Her face was red, and she was panting. She hammered his shoulder with all her might. “Let go of me. Xue Chenkong, get yourself together. ”

“I think I became like this because I’m too clear-headed! ” Xue Chenkong had always been overbearing and arrogant. He would do whatever he wanted to do, even if it meant resorting to unscrupulous means. However, because he knew that she didn’t like it, he had to bear with it, be careful, and restrain himself. Yet, she was still angry and said that he was not clear-headed.

“Let go of me! Xue Chenkong, you’ve gone too far! ” Shen Manting struggled with all her might. If the servants found out, her parents would also find out that they were quarreling.

“Since you say I’m not clear-headed, then I’ll let you see what it means to be really not clear-headed! ” Xue Chenkong’s chest heaved up and down violently. He lowered his head and kissed her chattering little mouth.

“Ugh… ” Shen Manting was so angry that she went crazy. She pushed him away with all her might, but Xue Chenkong grabbed her hand and kissed her hard, as if he was trying to suck all the oxygen in her lungs.

The powerful and domineering kiss, coupled with the lack of oxygen, made Shen Manting’s mind slowly go blank. Her legs went weak, and she could only hold him tightly until her lips were red and swollen. Xue Chenkong only let her go when he felt that she was no longer struggling.

His hot breath sounded beside her ear, and he said through gritted teeth, “Will you still look at other men? ”

Shen Manting’s shoulders couldn’t help but shiver. She looked up at him, panting heavily and eyes red. She didn’t understand how could there be such an unreasonable person.

“Tsk, tsk, it’s not enough to hug at home, but you have to do this when you come to the Shen residence? Go home and make out. Chenkong, come here. I have something to tell you. ” Shen Manyang, the eldest brother of the Shen family, had just entered the garden when he saw the two of them kissing in the corner of the wall, and hence he teased them.

Shen Manting’s face turned even redder. She pushed Xue Chenkong away in embarrassment and uttered, “Manyang is calling you. ”

Xue Chenkong stared at Shen Manting’s alluring red lips and was reluctant to let go of her. However, Shen Manyang was waiting for him, so he had no choice but to let go of her reluctantly.

After Xue Chenkong vented his anger, the anger in his heart dissipated, and the fierceness in his eyes had also faded. He had become aggrieved and remorseful, as if he wanted Shen Manting to go with him. “Ah Ting…” he said.

Shen Manting calmed herself down. “You can go first. I’ll be there in a while,” she replied.

“All right.” Xue Chenkong walked away, turning back to look at her every few steps.
