A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 371 A Secret Affair

He felt a tight grip on his body and the skin, which was held tight with her, turned warm instantly.

His body had no special feeling in front of other women, but when she inadvertently touched him, his sensitive nerves immediately responded.

"I promised that I wouldn't touch you tonight. But if you want to make a scene, I have to go back on my words." His throat seemed to be hurt by fire, and his voice became very hoarse.

She gave a cold shiver, as if she had been pressed on a pause button, and she stopped wriggling instantly. She even dared not breathe too hard for fear of burning her body.

"Well... Let's sit down and drink the frozen juice together. " To rain down the fire!

He took a deep breath and loosened his arm. She rushed downstairs and took out two bottles of juice from the fridge. She must put out the fire in time, otherwise it would become a big fire.

Taking a glance at her, Zac wore an unusual smile at the corners of his mouth, which looked more like a silent sigh.

He took the juice and sat down on the sofa to take a gulp. He needed to calm down and vent his anger.

This woman kept a lukewarm relationship, which almost drove him crazy.

A silence fell between them.

The room fell into silence. It was so quiet that she could almost hear the heavy breath of the person beside her. After a long time, she asked in a low voice, "are you really not going to marry Leila?" The voice was as weak as a night wind blowing from the window.

"No, I don't." Said Zac decisively and firmly.

"What if Leila insists? Although she is not the biological daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Qin, she grew up in Qin family. They can't let her suffer any grievance. " She said thoughtfully.

"Daddy put forward a condition that she must sever the relationship with Qin family in order to be a member of our family." Said Zac, who leaned against the sofa and looked solemn and unfathomable. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

"It is grateful of her upbringing. How could she sever the relationship with the Qin family? Besides, the Qin family is not only her mother's family, but also her backer. She is going to break up with the Qin family. Who will protect her in the future? " Essie shook her head. She couldn't help but feel sorry for Leila. Marrying Zac was the only way out for her now. She was stubborn and reckless. If she carried on her revenge regardless of the consequences, she would not only lose the whole family, but also be heartbroken to pieces.

"So, if I marry her, there will be a great war between our two families." Zac shrugged.

Essie turned her black apricot eyes twice and said with a light smile, "your mommy told me that all your family liked Leila very much. She was elegant, sensible and much better than a countrywoman like me. You two are so different from each other. Who should I believe? "

There was a fire in the eyes of Zac. Why did his mommy always make troubles for him? Why did she beat up a couple?

"Aren't you genius with the IQ of over 160? You make the right judgment on whom to believe in this kind of thing. " He said casually. From her calm expression, he knew that she believed him. Otherwise, she would have frowned and glared at him.

She pouted, leaned to the back of the sofa and took a sip of juice. "Recently, the brain capacity has exceeded memory, so my intelligence is short and I don't have time to check it. Therefore, I can't judge whether it is running normally or not."

"I can help you fix it." Zac's handsome face was so close to Essie's that Essie could feel his. His body was full of magical male hormone, which disturbed her breathing and made her head dizzy, as if she was drunk.

She quickly turned her face and moved towards the window to let the cool wind come in and help her keep calm and rational.

"Zac, Leila was your first love of your childhood. You let others have sex with her, and even forced her to break up with the Qin family. Are you too cruel?" She tried to break the ice.

He loved Leila, but now he treated her in such a strange way. Did she do something wrong to make him hate her and want to revenge her?

Zac's face darkened. The good impression about her was gone as soon as he thought that Leila threatened him with the life of his beloved woman. No one wants to die. Since she wanted to break the wall, he had to let her do it.

"Don't flood with sympathy. Pathetic people must have hateful points." He gently flicked her forehead. She was too kind. She always stayed at a defensive posture, and never made a fierce attack. That was why she got hurt again and again that she wasn't supposed to do.

"Why do you make things difficult for a woman?" Essie sighed. She couldn't understand the people who were paranoid about love, such as Valery and Leila. Was love really that important? For them, they could give up kinship, friendship, and even dignity of being human. She couldn't do that. There was so many people around the world, why are they so stubborn to love only one person? She would never let herself be suck in a situation where everybody would hate her and leave her alone.

"You think so, but others don't." Said Zac while stroking her head. The little fool like her must be taken good care of by a man as powerful as him.

Hearing that, Essie frowned at him. He was the chief culprit of the quarrel. He was as perfect as a fairy, emitting a breathtaking magic and an aura of danger, which would urge people to be mentally prepared. He was just a poppy with deadly poison. You knew it would be harmful to the spirit, but you could not refuse it, because it could make you feel the vigor and vitality and give you a fresh life.

"A day together as couple means endless devotion. She is your wife after all. You should at least maintain your marriage and stop doing anything disloyal." She said half jokingly and half sarcastically.

"It is not her who owes me a day's devotion." As he spoke, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. Holding her chin, he continued, "of course I won't cheat on my wife. I'll keep my integrity for her." His low and gentle voice came into her ear, and an electric current flowed through her spine, which made her shiver gently. She unconsciously tightened her fingers holding the bottle of juice.

"Don't forget that we are divorced. I am your ex-wife, not your wife." She warned him in low voice.

"I say you are my wife, the you are my wife. It is the same if there is a piece of paper." His breath turned warm, which warmed her up from head to toe.

"I... I don't think so. If that paper is not important, then why do we still need the Marriage Law? " She gently pushed him. The aura around her became more and more depressed. She felt difficult to breathe.

"I don't think so. It's useless to keep holding that paper if the couples don't love each other." He said faintly.

Zac was right. A marriage without love would only hurt both of them.

She lowered her eyes with her thick eyelashes casting a shadow of dismay on her eyelids. "In fact, it's good for us to get together and leave peacefully. You can't be a husband, can you still be my friend? "

Zac's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled, and there was a hint of anger on his face. "Why can't you remember what I said? There are only two kinds of relationship between us. One is couples and the other is enemies. There is no third one! " Like a thousand year old granite, he was not likely to be shaken at all.

She was like a leaf blown by the night wind, trembling slightly. "Then we are enemies now?" She said deliberately. His wife was not her. Their relationship could only be the second.

He bit his lips and a profound smile came to his face. "You're still my wife, but a secret one temporarily."

Essie became angry. She suddenly jumped up from the sofa and said, "I don't want to be called a rat!"

He crossed his hands, putting his hands on the back of his head and said, "honey, it's better to be a rats, and I'll keep you company. You won't feel bored." There was a hint of ridicule in his tone.

However, she lost. Zac was the man who had defeated her, and he had the power to turn her around!

"Take a shower and go to bed." She stood up. Pretending to be a corpse was always the best way for her to resist the power.

Looking at her leaving figure, Zac smiled.

When she came back, he had taken a bath and changed his clothes. He was waiting for her on the bed.

Of course, the master bedroom was under his control.

She straightened her handbag on the sofa and said, "I'll sleep in the next room."

He slightly furrowed his beautiful bushy eyebrows and replied, "come back." There was some sort of displeasure in his tone.

"I'm sleepy and want to sleep." She was wearing his night robe, which was large. Her neckband was always open from time to time. She couldn't help but pull it a little bit to avoid exposing the scene.

"I said I wouldn't touch you. I didn't say we would sleep in separate rooms." He said slowly, word by word. The tone was light, but a little cold and frightening.

"I... I'm used to sleeping alone. " She murmured sheepishly, like a little lamb that was swallowed by a lion.

"I'm not used to it." As he spoke, a cold light flashed across his eyes.

"Then how did you sleep during this period of time?" Essie frowned and thought: 'someone must warm up the bed for you.' The lie was revealed when he said he would keep his integrity for her.

A self condemned sigh slipped across his lips. He couldn't sleep alone, and he had a bad sleep every night. So she had to make it up to him for the period of suffering.

He jumped off the bed and walked towards her step by step. She shut up, grabbed her collar and stepped back. At last, she was blocked by the wall and there was no way out.

"You... You said you wouldn't touch me. " She said in a trembling voice and was held by him in his arms before her voice fell. She exclaimed. When she tried to struggle out of his arms, he had already put her on the bed.

"Don't move, or you'll pay for it." His rude warning was like a thunder, sending away all her resistance emotions. She lay stiff beside him, dared not to move.

"I'm going to sleep. Don't disturb me." Then she closed her eyes in a hurry.

His body clung to hers. He could clearly feel her chest heaving up and down because of a gasp. And a stream of heat emitted from her graceful body.
