Chapter 274

274 5.17 – Shopping Spree – The Sleepless Elite’s Wife

Bing Shi shook her head, hooking her hand around Lu Kai’s arm, she let him support her up, “He didn’t.”

“Where are your sneakers?” Lu Kai asked, feeling how she tripped again.

“In my shopping bag. They don’t match my dress.” Before leaving the store, Bing Shi felt a strong stare, turning around, she pulled out her tongue at Quin Yu.

Grabbing her neck, Lu Kai turned Bing Shi’s face in his direction, giving her ebony eyes a quick, silent stare as if telling her to behave.

Quin Yu tried to recollect Silika Lin’s face unsuccessfully. When he first saw her, his eyes focused on her long slender legs and body. When she fell before him, his eyes focused on her chest and collarbone then back to her ankles and nails. When his eyes finally reached her face, he only got a glimpse of her lips, before she fled from his view.

If Quin Yu could see the rest of her face, he would definitely notice the bland look in her eyes that was unaffected by his deadly presence.

“Was that your doctor?” Aoi Hong appeared in her new dress; she had never worn such a revealing style of clothing before, a red dress with an open back that accentuated all her curves. Noticing the leaving pair, she recognized the familiar white coat which was now draped around a female’s silhouette.

The ugly duckling became a swan. Aoi Hong’s skin was white like snow. Her figure was slender. Her pretty face was the shape of a V along with red lips and white teeth. Without eye-glasses, her eyes looked clear and radiant like spring water.

Shaking his head internally, Quin Yu hid the bewilderment in his eyes. He put on an emotionless, stone-cold expression. Lu Kai’s new sugar baby? So this whole time he was a victim of Silika Lin’s prank!? Or was it Lu Kai’s prank? No, Lu Kai looked gloomier than usual. What was Silika trying to implore?

.....

‘Man, nobody wanted to seduce you. You’re not as great as you think. So what if I fell before you? Did it look like I begged before your legs? Someone is too full of himself, haha.’ Quin Yu could totally imagine the words which had to go through her mind when she pulled out her tongue at him!

· · — · ???· — · ·

“Why did you do that?” Lu Kai asked when they left the boutique, giving his assistant a call.

“He bullied you,” answered Bing Shi. Why did Quin Yu look down on good, virgin boys as if being a bad boy was something to be proud of?

“That was in the past, he wouldn’t dare again,” said Lu Kai.

“I still don’t like how he treated you,” Bing Shi showed her bias.

After the call, Lu Kai cleaned his hand with a wet wipe, “It was unnecessary.”

“I know. I wanted to test out something. But without Kuro, my view of his face was obstructed, so I had to check it again,” Bing Shi glanced down at her feet, training her catwalk, “There are still many things you don’t know about me.”

And here he thought that she was still on her vacation. Using the wet wipe, Lu Kai opened the door to the black-tinted car.

When both seated themselves comfortably, Lu Kai pushed Bing Shi against the backseat. Squeezing her cheeks, he shoved his tongue inside her mouth, his action rushed, almost at the brim of despair. He needed to do things others couldn’t, to feel the difference of treatment.

He was so angry at her, but sex wasn’t his way of punishment. Her being afraid of sex was the last thing he wanted. The fear of not knowing what she was capable of doing and how far she would go was eating him up. Her secrets were like an empty canvas. He wanted to get inside her mind, to see the priceless piece of art within.

Now that he so dearly wished to know everything about her, he couldn’t recall a thing about their past. Pulling away, Lu Kai rested his elbow on the armrest and looked out of the window. Clutching his palm, he slowly exhaled and inhaled. His fingers dug into his hand with such strength that the bulging, blue veins on the back of his hand threatened to burst forth from his skin.

The sweet cinnamon roll suddenly changed into a grumpy sour roll as not once did he look at her nor spoke to her during the whole drive. Bing Shi who already seated herself on his lap leaned her ear towards his heart, soothing it with little pats.

He was asking to be appeased.

He wanted attention.

Her attention.

“No huggies for a week,” he declared, remembering one of the things she liked.

“Whaaaat?” Bing Shi looked at him as if seeing an alien, rubbing his chest in protest, “That’s too much. Two days.”

“No.” He ignored her little pleas. Most would start an argument for his unreasonable behavior, excessive jealousy. She could threaten him with an even bigger warning. All she had to do was give him a cold shoulder, and he would probably come back to her on all fours to beg for forgiveness after cooling down.

Yes, that’s how Bing Shi would act if Xuan Mu was the one at fault. If she gave Lu Kai a cold shoulder wouldn’t it be unfair towards him? Lu Kai didn’t know her well yet, and she didn’t know him. Not speaking to each other while angry would solve nothing.

When Bing Shi received no hugs, she collapsed on his shoulder. She felt no reaction except his hard-on between his legs, “I’m starting to get angry at you.”

“Perfect, that makes us two.” Focusing on the road outside, he slowly took control of his aroused body, “Do you have to seduce every good-looking man you meet?”

“No. I was actually trying to do the opposite. To be unlikable but not enough to be killed.”

It was impossible to maintain a dream-like relationship 24/7. She only had him, while he only had her. Taking it out on each other couldn’t be helped. Even though it was not fair. None of them used reverse psychology to make the other feel guilty.

“So you opted to act like a cheap slut?!” he raised his voice, disappointment was evident in his tone. None of them looked at each other as they started to argue.

“Didn’t you want him to lose interest in me completely?!” she asked and got off his lap, “If you didn’t arrive, you could’ve got what you wanted.”

“Not this way,” Lu Kai gritted his teeth, “I’d rather have him fall for you than seeing you lower yourself like that!”

“I noticed you were embarrassed to see me like that, so I changed it at the last second!” Bing Shi got to the end of the car and looked at the bustling city outside, “Any other problems you have with me?”

Should he continue being an open-minded and supporting man? How? Did he have to tolerate everything? He pursed his lips, “You, being a famous actress.”

“It’s a part of my mission,” she finally looked at him, “Are you going to stop me from becoming one?”

“Depends on the role.” He was angry and didn’t know how to vent it out. Nobody could be understanding and forgiving, forever. Was she going to break up with him? He was ready to act pitiful and cute in case she did, but not now. “Forget about romantic scenes with another person.”

Lu Kai, who usually put everybody first, was surprised that he treated someone he began to hold dearly to his heart so poorly.

“Oh, as if I didn’t plan otherwise,” said Bing Shi, a feeble irritation resonated in her voice. “None of us can be forgiving and doting all the time. Just like how I’m upset at you right now, it’s perfectly fine for you to be upset at me, so don’t you dare act pitiful and beg for mercy later when none of us is at fault.”

“Yes, why should I apologize? You’re not going into the club clothed like that!”

“It suits my body and it looks millions of times better than your lab coat!!” Taking off his coat, she threw it at him.

“We’re going nowhere unless you put it on!” he hissed silently and threw it back at her, “Button it up!”

“I don’t want to wear it,” she made it disappear, “It’s ugly!”

“It’s not. You’re just jealous of Xue Bi!” he responded harshly, “She would never wear such a thing!” His eyes pointed at her exposed legs, collarbone, and the tight pink fabric.

“Haha, so what? As if you were never jealous of Xuan Mu!” She fumed at him, knowing that she didn’t fulfill his expectations of a lover stung her heart, “He would never wear such a bright color! Are we going to compare our past selves now? Then be prepared to be trashed hard. First, he’s a better kisser.”

“Stop worsening everything!” He came up to her and covered her mouth with his palm. Though they were honest and stated the truth, it hurts. The truth always hurts. But knowing that she was jealous of Xue Bi made him feel a little bit happy that he wasn’t the only one who felt the same.

“I will. Because I’m angry!” she bit his finger, “It’s been a while since I’ve been angry. So I have to enjoy it while I still can! So what was Xue Bi better at, huh? Come at me! Shatter my confidence!”
