Chapter 198

like Wushuang, when falling in love with someone, would surely be resolute; brother might get hurt.Dragon Chengtian was not yet in a hurry about Wansheng's matter, but he was very anxious about the si...Chapter 198

Although he didn't know why Tang Shuwen came, his arrival was still good as it prevented the situation from becoming too focused on Chen Xieru. Men should protect women from any trouble they might cause.

He smiled at Chen Xieru and took her hand in a familiar manner, saying, "Let's go; I'll take you home."

Their fingers entwined as Chen Xieru walked beside him rather stiffly. The rumor of their soon-to-be-married couple not getting along was thus dispelled, for it was clear they were deeply affectionate and there was no discord between them.

Flashbulbs went off in a frenzy. Tang Shuwen glanced over his shoulder as several reporters rushed up to ask, "Young Master Tang, what do you think of today's live broadcast"

Chen Xieru felt nervous and tried to appear calm. Tang Shuwen smiled indifferently, saying, "It’s just hearsay; don’t take it seriously. Our marital relationship is in good condition."

"And what about Miss Zhao"

Tang Shuwen replied with a smile, "Miss Zhao and I were once dating for some time, but that was in the past. Both her and my other previous girlfriends are things of the past; you guys shouldn't trouble Xieru over this issue or make her unhappy. If she’s not happy, neither am I, and if I’m not pleased, someone will definitely be upset."

With that said, he didn’t speak further and was escorted into the car by his bodyguards.

The car drove off for a while until it managed to shake off the reporters. Chen Xieru let go of his hand; Tang Shuwen didn't insist, and his smile faded as well, becoming cold and stern. Fearing she might provoke him, Chen Xieru remained silent.

The two rode in silence, with an atmosphere that was far from those about to get married the next day. If one were unaware of their situation, they would think the couple had merely coincidentally shared a ride and didn't know each other at all.

"If you encounter such issues in the future, just put them on me," Tang Shuwen said coldly. Chen Xieru pursed her lips without responding; it was easy for him to say that, but his intentions were indeed hard to fathom.

"I understand," she replied. Tang Shuwen glanced at her sideways; this woman had always treated him so coldly, which he found somewhat frustrating. He had done everything she asked of him—why couldn't she give him a pleasant face in return

Unless Xian is around, she wouldn't acknowledge him.

.

He was angry, Chen Xuérú could sense it but couldn't gauge his temper. She didn't know why he was angry. After a while of silence, Chen Xuérú asked, "Tang Shuwén, do you really have no regrets"

Even though this question seemed to be too late since they had already registered their marriage and were legally recognized as husband and wife. Whether or not they held the wedding ceremony didn't seem to change this fact, but she still wanted to confirm his feelings.

Tang Shuwén thought Chen Xuérú was regretting it, so he coldly smiled, "In today's situation, do I have the luxury of having regrets"

His tone wasn't pleasant and carried a hint of coldness. However, Chen Xuérú heard him as if he had regrets. She sighed inwardly; he was not an indifferent person, on the contrary, he could be considered a warm-hearted man. But towards her, he always showed a hard exterior.

"Who did you just mention on the show with your word 'forcing'" He coldly swept his gaze at her. Chen Xuérú trembled; was he watching the program Therefore, he returned to accompany her and put up this show for others to see, giving her face to prevent rumors from hurting her

Was it so

Chen Xuérú bitterly smiled at herself. She had been overly sentimental; even if it were true, it would likely be the parents' intention and not his.

"I didn't mention anyone specifically, just a spontaneous thought. You're overthinking," Chen Xuérú said insincerely. To outsiders, that sentence was about Zhao Yuning, but Tang Shuwén knew that Chen Xuérú had actually referred to him.

Forcing!

Indeed, it was he who forced her to marry him, yet the tone of Chen Xuérú's words made Tang Shuwén very uncomfortable. Did she think she was being wronged by marrying him What did she have to feel wronged about

"You are clearly talking about me," Tang Shuwén said in a deep voice.

Chen Xueru tilted her head, feeling puzzled as she saw him angry. She couldn’t help but retort, "Aren’t the things I said true"

"Do you think that marrying me is a great sacrifice for you" Tang Shuweng asked with a cold smile, suppressing his discomfort. This inexplicable frustration made him lose his usual grace.

He was always warm and courteous in dealing with people, neither as aloof as the Second Young Master Ye nor as distant as Lin Diyun or as friendly as Su Ran. He was always polite, but he had a particularly bad temper when it came to Chen Xueru.

"No!"

"Lying!" Tang Shuweng snorted coldly and glared at her. "You clearly feel wronged."

"What right do you have to say that Don’t you also feel wronged" Chen Xueru’s usually good temper was roused by him. If they both felt wronged, why should they get married...

"Am I not feeling wronged too I can't marry the person I love." Tang Shuweng said; in truth, he didn’t feel particularly wronged. Initially, upon learning about Chen Xueru and Xiaonian’s existence, his anger far outweighed his hatred. But later on, these emotions gradually faded away. He genuinely felt that he had wronged Zhao Yuning and couldn’t forget her for a while, but getting married to Chen Xueru didn’t bother him.

Chen Xueru looked at him and laughed coldly. "You lost the person you loved, but after being absent for several years, you still got a well-behaved and intelligent son. What losses have you suffered And what do you feel wronged about There’s no such thing as getting this kind of easy deal in the world."

Tang Shuweng glared at her with his eyes wide. "Uncle Ye was a stepfather for seven years, why are you talking only about me Besides, I didn’t know your existence back then. Who knows what your motive was to approach me"

"I said before that I wasn’t trying to get close to you on purpose. You raping me is even more bewildering."

"What rape Clearly, you were enjoying it! Don't mind if I call it consensual." Tang Shuweng said coldly, unable to contain his anger.

Chen Xueru’s good temper was completely defeated by him. She took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I’m sorry, but your technique is truly terrible; I didn’t feel any pleasure at all, so this can only be considered rape."

"You..." Tang Shuwen was also infuriated by her, damn woman, actually saying that his technique was terrible. As the eldest son of the Tang family, he had seen it all and had extensive experience; how could she say that his technique was poor

He really couldn't remember much from that night, but faintly heard her crying out in pain, yet he knew what he felt himself was true. However, he attributed this to being drugged; under those circumstances, any woman would enjoy it.

Only... After the effects of the drug wore off, he found himself strangely captivated by her body and continued for many times until he was too exhausted to sleep. He intended to wait till morning to find out who she was, but surprisingly, she ran away in the middle of the night.

"Fine, you think my technique is poor Let's try again tonight and see who really has worse technique," Tang Shuwen blurted out.

Chen Xueru: "..."

She hated her own mouth for bringing up such an issue. She knew how important a man’s ego was; he couldn't bear to have his abilities questioned by others.

Her experiences with Tang Shuwen had only gotten worse each time, making her physically and psychologically uncomfortable. She didn’t want anything to do with him anymore.

But as husband and wife… It was a duty.

Chen Xueru gritted her teeth and remained silent, while Tang Shuwen felt indignant. He realized that he had acted rashly and immaturely; Chen Xueru hardly ever spoke about such topics with him, let alone anything else besides necessary greetings. She suddenly brought up a private matter, which infuriated Tang Shuwen further.

Tang Shuwen said, "You think my technique is poor Look at your figure. No man would be interested."

The image of Chen Xueru’s white jade-like body flashed in his mind, and he couldn’t help but grumble inwardly; she actually had a decent figure—curvaceous with skin as smooth as cream, especially her long legs which were incredibly sexy.

Thinking about it made him swallow hard, his body inexplicably heating up.

Chen Xueru closed her eyes. She shouldn’t bother arguing; her figure wasn’t for him to look at anyway. It was pointless to argue with a person who acted like an immature child tonight.new what was going on. He behaved in a conventional manner every day, which made Mo Xiaobai exclaim, "Is this really a man Hasn’t he grown up the wrong gender Apart from working, he just goes home to...
