Marriage is long and desires are strong

Li Si's eyes were blurry with drunkenness, the corners of his eyes red, and tears streamed down his cheeks, glistening in the moonlight, making him look broken and pitiful.

"Weiwei, I'm trying my best. I will make myself stronger so that I can protect you."

Jiang Wei sighed, took a few steps forward, walked up to Li Si, and handed him a tissue.

Qin Xiaoye's face darkened further, and an uncontrollable agitation surged through his chest. He took half a step outside, and the moonlight cast the shadow of half of his body, one side dark and the other dim.

Jiang Wei spoke slowly and deliberately, her voice deep and resonant: "Li Si, let's both look forward."

"Don't wait any longer."

Li Si froze, his eyes slowly widening as he looked at Jiang Wei: "Weiwei, I can wait, please, please let me wait, okay? Please, please."

"You know I can't live without you."

"Countless times I've drunk too much in the middle of the night and vomited on the toilet, all I could think about was what life would be like with you, and that's what kept me going."

"You are the kind of family I've always longed for since I was a child, I really can't..."

As Li Si spoke, tears streamed down her face, and she gripped the tissues in her hand tighter and tighter, but Jiang Wei in front of her became increasingly blurry.

Jiang Wei whispered, "Li Si, the person I hope for is someone who will stand by my side without hesitation or regard for anything else."

"I know you can't do it, and I understand your helplessness."

"But, the moments when one person truly needs another are actually quite few. Only at those crucial junctures."

"I know it's hard for me too, I know I need your company."

"But the person who was with me at that time was someone else."

Jiang Wei said softly, "I had insomnia during that time, but it was him... I was only able to sleep well after we got together."

Qin Xiaoye, his eyes deep in the darkness, took another half step forward. His whole body was bathed in moonlight, forming a faint, luminous outline on his black shadow, standing not far behind Jiang Wei.

He slowly curved the corners of his mouth, looking at Jiang Wei's pale white dress and back view. His heart, which had been pounding wildly, slowly returned to normal, but his breathing became hotter and hotter, his palms were sweating, and his chest was burning hot.

Li Si felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he stood there motionless.

Jiang Wei: "There's one more thing I want to say to you, and to myself as well."

"Love what I choose."

"Once each of us has made our own choice, let's cherish it."

"Li Si, that's life. You're forced to make choices, but they're also your own choices."

"You made a choice, and I made a choice."

"Just accept it."

Even if you stay in the same place, I will keep moving forward and have no intention of looking back.

As Jiang Wei slowly spoke, she caught a whiff of a strong, gunpowder-like smell, but it wasn't Li Si's.

strangeness.

The taste is somewhat familiar.

Li Si felt ice-cold all over, as if all the oxygen in his body had been sucked out, making it difficult to breathe.

He suddenly covered his face with his hands, sobbing, tears streaming through his fingers: "Two years, let me wait for you for two years, okay? At least I still have hope, even if in the future, in the future, there's no possibility for us."

"Didn't you agree to a two-year marriage of convenience?"

He lowered his hand, looking at Jiang Wei with teary eyes.

Jiang Wei lowered her eyes. Yes, two years later, she and Qin Xiaoye...

"No." Qin Xiaoye's voice rang out behind Jiang Wei, calm yet tinged with menace.

Behind Jiang Wei, leather shoes clicked on the marble floor.

Qin Xiaoye's unique style is like raindrops falling into the sea, or a shooting star streaking across the earth, elegant yet imposing.

Jiang Wei didn't turn around. So, it was his scent. No wonder it felt so familiar.

Qin Xiaoye walked over, put his arm around Jiang Wei's shoulder, and repeated to Li Si in a firm tone, "No."

Jiang Wei felt a steady stream of heat emanating from Qin Xiaoye, carrying a strong scent of hormones that lingered around her, as if the scent were taking over the entire space.

When Li Si saw Qin Xiaoye, he paused, his expression suddenly changing from a whimpering puppy to a serious one, radiating a coldness: "What if I insist on waiting?"

Qin Xiaoye's gaze slowly swept over Li Si, his eyes filled with coercion and danger: "Is that so?"

Ignoring Qin Xiaoye's aggressive gaze, Li Si nodded earnestly: "Yes. As long as your marriage has a time limit, I will definitely wait."

"I won't ruin your marriage, but I will definitely fight for my own chance."

Qin Xiaoye gave Li Si a slow, sinister smile.

He turned to Jiang Wei and said softly, "Wife, he's so affectionate."

Li Sixin's heart sank: "Qin Xiaoye, Weiwei has been rejecting me, please don't make things difficult for her."

Jiang Wei opened her mouth to explain, but Qin Xiaoye placed his index finger on her soft, rosy lips: "Shh."

"Wife, don't say anything, just listen to me."

He pulled Jiang Wei closer, supporting her shoulders and making her stand facing him.

Qin Xiaoye and Jiang Wei stared at each other, reminding Jiang Wei of the first time she met Qin Xiaoye, when his gaze held a distant quality, but now, in addition to that distant quality, it also carried a violent sense of raging fire and smoke.

Things are different now.

Jiang Wei's heart pounded. Having spent a long time with Qin Xiaoye, she understood what changes in his body odor meant.

Qin Xiaoye's danger level has increased, reaching the critical point.

Qin Xiaoye has always been self-disciplined and restrained, and even when he was on the verge of danger and on the verge of collapse, no one could tell.

But Jiang Wei can identify them by their taste.

Jiang Wei suddenly remembered what Qin Xiaoye had said over and over again in bed: "You can cheat, but you have to come back after you cheat..."

Her heart skipped a beat; it turned out those words were meant for her.

Qin Xiaoye believes she cheated on him.

Did he think so from that time on? Has he been enduring it all this time? Then, to what extent has that violent streak accumulated?

Is Qin Xiaoye about to explode today?

Jiang Wei took a deep breath. An S-class Sentinel, if he exceeds the edge of collapse, will be...very dangerous.

Various news stories flashed through her mind: a sentry raping a guide in retaliation, a sentry committing serial murders...

The moonlight shone on Qin Xiaoye's face, casting a hazy and mysterious glow that made him look dangerous, unrestrained, and handsome.

Qin Xiaoye's hormonal aura clung to Jiang Wei, enveloped by an intense possessiveness.

Qin Xiaoye's eyes were dark and fixed on Jiang Wei, like a wild beast eyeing its prey, as if afraid the prey would escape.

Jiang Wei felt that gaze, carrying a tingling sense of danger that was both frightening and captivating.

It's as if he wants to devour her, but before he does, he's filled with longing and love, focused and affectionate.

Put her in the place of your favorite.

Jiang Wei swallowed hard; Qin Xiaoye's behavior was completely unpredictable.

He is dangerous in himself, yet he is also so gentle.
