Chapter 129: Chapter 129 To Pounce or Not to Pounce (15)

He was holding back his anger, not at all willing to indulge her voluntarily. Shi Che clenched his hands, straining to drive out all the fantasies from his mind.

Both of them harbored their own thoughts, yet neither made a single move. Though both were lying there with their eyes closed, pretending to sleep, their minds were in fact a mess, and neither could truly fall asleep.

The more Shi Che suppressed himself, the more the rising desire fought back fiercely. He felt the flames inside his body gradually igniting, growing into a raging fire that crashed around within him, making him irritable and restless. He abruptly opened his eyes and turned over heavily, directly onto his side facing Ling Chuxia, his dark pupils staring intently at her back.

Shi Che’s heavy roll extinguished the conflicted thoughts that had been tangling Ling Chuxia’s mind, pressing down on her like a great mountain, quashing all her little schemes.

She felt that Shi Che seemed very annoyed, and from her past experience, she knew that at times like this, it was best not to provoke him, otherwise, the outcome would be extremely unpleasant.

It seemed that tonight, even if she wanted to throw herself at him, she had to lock that impulse away tightly, forcing it down into her stomach.

Ling Chuxia sighed lightly, a bit unwilling, yet helpless. She could only close her eyes, trying to shrink away, trying to sleep as quietly as possible, her breath unconsciously held, for fear of disturbing Shi Che.

Shi Che continued to watch Ling Chuxia, seeing her motionless, sleeping quietly, the irritation in his heart welling up even more, causing the light in his eyes to grow darker and dimmer.

The faint fragrance lingering from Ling Chuxia’s body kept wafting over, bewitching him, enticing him, making him involuntarily lean closer. Shi Che thought to himself, since Ling Chuxia was his wife, even if he slept with her, it was his right. Why was he agonizing over it?

But just as he moved a little closer, Shi Che abruptly stopped himself. No, if he initiated, wouldn’t that be giving her another opportunity? Her goal was so obvious; did he really have no pride to let her trample all over him?

Thinking this, Shi Che pulled back again. His frustration and confusion mounted, and he even wondered, wasn’t this woman, Ling Chuxia, obsessed with her task? How could she now sleep so peacefully? Why wasn’t she taking the initiative like she did the previous times?

If she took the initiative, then he... would give her the chance, not rejecting her.

The more Shi Che thought, the more entangled he became. He tossed and turned several times, while Ling Chuxia, once she closed her eyes, felt sleepiness gradually overcoming her. She had been suffering from insomnia these past few days due to anxiety about a class reunion, and after getting through today without incident, she relaxed, and exhaustion swept over her.
