CH 44.2

After examining his situation, Xu Xinghe decided to preemptively: “Do you mind if I ask a few questions?”

“Yes.” Ling Changfeng said, “But won’t you consider letting go first?”

Xu Xinghe looked down stiffly. One of his hands was in the same position just now, touching Ling Changfeng’s lower abdomen.

The other hand held onto Ling Changfeng’s hand, clasping his fingers tightly.

Xu Xinghe: “…”

Hehe, this time at least he didn’t hold Ling Changfeng’s whole arm in his arms, it’s considered an improvement…

That’s weird!

Holding hands or something seems more embarrassing!

Xu Xinghe released his claws suddenly, as if he had just caught a hot potato.

And Ling Changfeng’s fingertips moved, as if he was still nostalgic for the warmth.

He lowered his eyes slightly, suddenly a little regretful for reminding him.

Ling Changfeng didn’t get up in a hurry, so he said to Xu Xinghe: “What questions, ask.”

Xu Xinghe: “The first question – I was drunk again last night?”

Ling Changfeng was silent. After a while, he replied, “This should be obvious and easy to see.”

Before Xu Xinghe could open his mouth again, he asked softly, “Or, do you think the current situation is something you can imagine happening when you’re sober?”

When he said this, there was no expression on his face, but there seemed to be a faint smile in his eyes.

Xu Xinghe: “…” Never.

He knew he was asking a question he knew the answer to, but he couldn’t help wanting to make one final struggle.

Who knew that he can get drunk on 13% alcohol?!

No matter how strong the drink is in the future, he won’t touch alcohol ever again!

Xu Xinghe took a deep breath: “Okay, next question—”

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. It seemed a little hard to say.

After struggling for a while, he finally raised those big black eyes, stared at Ling Changfeng and asked, “You didn’t really record me when I’m drunk, right?”

Ling Changfeng was almost amused.

Xu Xinghe’s current expression was nervous and gritted his teeth, as if saying: ‘If you really dared record it, I will kill you and destroy your corpse.’

Interesting and cute.

Ling Changfeng asked him calmly, “What if it was recorded, and what if it wasn’t recorded?”

When Xu Xinghe heard his reply, he exploded, his voice increasing by several decibels: “You better not have recorded it! If you recorded it, destroy it! No copies, no rumors, just destroy the master video!”

Xu Xinghe stared at him angrily, his eyes full of nervous resentment, as if the other party had some shady handle in his hands.

Ling Changfeng teased him lightly: “Really destroy it? Didn’t you say you wanted to watch it before?”

Xu Xinghe flatly denied it. “Who said I want to watch it? I was just suspecting your previous words were exaggerations!”

Ling Changfeng said: “Didn’t you want to see your real state after being drunk?”

Xu Xinghe gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t want to! In short, if you recorded it, quickly destroy it!”

“Oh,” Ling Changfeng’s tone was a little careless. “Why should I listen to you?”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

Yes, it was Ling Changfeng who caught him in his embarrassing drunken state, and it was Ling Changfeng who had his handle. Why should he listen to him?

Realizing that he didn’t seem to have any leverage on the opponent, Xu Xinghe was a little discouraged, and said in a muffled voice, “If you refuse, then you refuse.”

Then he sat up, rolled over, and got out of bed.

As soon as his feet landed, he heard Ling Changfeng’s voice behind him: “I listen to my lover.”

Xu Xinghe: “…”

His back instantly stiffened.

That’s not true, nor is it untrue.

The five light-hearted words spoken by Ling Changfeng were something more unstoppable than the embarrassment of being recorded.

Ling Changfeng had a panoramic view of his every movement and every demeanor, and suddenly sighed silently: “I won’t tease you, I didn’t record it.”

If he continues teasing, Xu Xinghe will probably really lose his hair.

Xu Xinghe’s eyes lit up, and he turned his head and said, “Really?”

Ling Changfeng nodded and sat up, “Really.”

Of course he didn’t record it.

In the situation last night, all his thoughts were on Xu Xinghe. How could he still have time and energy to do this?

Xu Xinghe first breathed a sigh of relief, and then he was still a little uneasy, and cautiously probed: “You didn’t deliberately let me relax my vigilance, so you can take advantage in the future, right?”

Ling Changfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at him with some amusement: “Tell me, how would I use it to take advantage in the future?”

Xu Xinghe thought about it. True, he didn’t have anything to blackmail Ling Changfeng with either.

Snorting softly, he was relieved and whispered: “If there’s none, that’s best. I’m afraid you will take advantage of me.”

Ling Changfeng heard this, and suddenly fell silent.

When Xu Xinghe turned his head, he met eyes full of exploration and scrutiny, as if probing for a price. He groaned for no reason in his heart: “Why are you looking at me?”

Ling Changfeng’s eyes circled around him several times. As if inspired by something, he began to have all kinds of restless fantasies.

However, his face was still calm, and his tone was serious: “If I want to take advantage of you—”

He deliberately paused for a while before continuing slowly: “It would’ve already been done last night.”

Xu Xinghe: “… ” There seems to be some truth in that.

He cursed inwardly “alcohol harms people”, then turned around and ran into the bathroom to wash up.

Ling Changfeng also got out of bed, followed Xu Xinghe unhurriedly, and asked, “What do you want for breakfast?”

Xu Xinghe brushed his teeth and said vaguely, “Hmm… it’s getting late, just eat lunch.”

“What do you want for lunch?”

They woke up together in the bright sunshine, and went to wash, chat and eat together.

Like a pair of the most ordinary couples, enjoy the quiet time of two people.

With such a satisfying opening, Ling Changfeng was in a very good mood for the rest of the day.

Except for the unpleasant episode when he was working in the afternoon from home.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, when Marshal Ling was looking for a certain document in his study, he inadvertently saw a black folder in the bottom drawer of the desk.

Immediately, he frowned slightly, and reached out and pulled it out.

The folder was opened, and inside was the divorce agreement signed by Xu Xinghe on their wedding night.

Ling Changfeng looked at the few pages of thin paper in black and white, and the expression between his eyebrows tightened a little.

After sitting for a while, he suddenly moved and took the agreement out of the folder…

When He Han came to the study to deliver tea, the moment he entered the room, he couldn’t help but stop.

There was a strange smell in the study, like a faint burnt smell left after something was burned.

He Han frowned, looked up at Ling Changfeng, but saw that the other party was calm, as if nothing had happened.

He Han respectfully put down the tea. He wanted to leave, but as a steward, he still couldn’t help but speak before exiting the room: “Marshal, do you smell anything? Do I need to start up the ventilation system?”

“No.” Ling Changfeng looked down at the documents without raising his eyelids, saying lightly, “You arrange it as you please.”

The marshal burns the divorce agreement!
