Chapter 374: Chapter 373: Husband, Say You Love Me

Si Yuting was brought back to his own room by Qu Tong, who pushed him down onto the bed and leaned in for a kiss.

Si Yuting was stunned for a moment, his eyes showing a doting affection as he cooperated with his little wife’s initiative.

Soft lips brushed across skin, unbuttoning his shirt one by one, occasionally grazing his skin and raising a wave of heat.

The belt was also pulled away...

"Your Highness, I suddenly feel that the endless sea of flowers on Luyi Star isn’t as beautiful as the worry in your eyes that day~"

The whispered sweet nothings entered his ears with the tide of passion, the deliberately elongated tone both sweet and crisp.

Si Yuting suddenly understood why Ali was particularly passionate tonight.

He had thought it was because he was happy about having resolved a major worry.

It turned out to be such a minor reason.

His Ali, really...heart-stirringly endearing.

"Ali."

"Hmm~" Her eyes barely opened, she hummed lightly.

"I’m here."

If nothing unexpected happens, I will always be here.

Kisses slowly trailed downward, meticulously.

As spring breeze caresses dew, it deepened from the surface, strumming the deepest chords of the heart...

The night deepened, Qu Tong lay softly in Si Yuting’s arms, her sleep shallow.

She snuggled deeper into Si Yuting’s embrace and pulled his hand to her waist.

Si Yuting instinctively began to gently massage her.

Without her needing to direct him, he knew exactly the right pressure and technique to use.

So comfortable it was undeniable.

Qu Tong couldn’t help but let out a pleased moan.

The pressure on her waist suddenly increased, followed by a raspy voice laden with warning, "Don’t make a sound."

Qu Tong understood and closed her mouth.

Those who interacted with Si Yuting for a long period would notice his unparalleled, aloof temperament, initially making him seem indifferent.

But he was not only not indifferent, his gaze also held desire, as strong as his abilities.

And he showed no restraint in front of her.

She could clearly see his emotions stir, his satisfaction after release, not expressionless at all.

The inexplicable contrast always kindled a secret adoration.

Visible only to herself, felt only by herself.

Suddenly, the loving phrases from moments ago echoed in her mind, hehe, she wanted to hear them again.

"Husband, say you love me." Qu Tong cooed.

Si Yuting smiled helplessly, looking earnestly into Qu Tong’s eyes, and slowly began to speak.

"I love you."

Yes, yes, yes! Just that!

Very natural, very affectionate.

Si Yuting’s voice was naturally pleasant, slightly magnetic and husky, deliberately softened with a touch of restrained coldness, particularly alluring.

It made her ears tingle.

"Hmm, sounds good, as if you’ve loved me for a long time." Qu Tong did not skimp on her praises.

"Hmm."

"Hmm what?" Qu Tong suddenly wondered, "Your Highness, did you like me for a long time already?"

Si Yuting’s lips pressed together, silent.

Qu Tong suddenly felt playful, no longer wanting her waist massaged, and her questions bounced out one after another.

"When?"

"Before the military league or after?"

"Then why did you still act cool and aloof?"

Si Yuting held down Qu Tong as she fidgeted, pretending to be serious, "Sleep!"

Qu Tong kept asking, but Si Yuting would not answer.

"If you don’t sleep, it will be dawn soon."

Qu Tong pouted, hmphed, and turned her back to Si Yuting.

Yet, she still lay in his arms.

Si Yuting embraced his fragrant and soft little wife, his eyes twinkling.

His feelings had changed gradually as they spent time together, but he couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment.

Yet, he vividly remembered, under the silver light, how she laughed with her eyes curved, a cunning little fox, yet so obedient and gentle that it softened his heart.

*

The next day.

Qu Tong turned over and saw Si Yuting working on her bed.

He was conducting electronic business and didn’t need to worry about making any noise that might disturb her.

Seeing her awake, Si Yuting stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her.

"Your Highness, good morning,"

Qu Tong greeted as she sat up.

The blanket slid from her shoulders, revealing a large expanse of pale, bare skin and the occasional delicate pink mark.

Qu Tong paid it no mind as she reached for the ring on the bedside table.

Si Yuting, however, was somewhat dazzled by the view, discreetly shifting his gaze away.

Qu Tong slid the ring onto her ring finger and pulled out a new dress from inside it to put on.

Since the last exam, she had transferred some commonly used items into the ring Si Yuting had given her.

She peeked at Si Yuting’s intelligent brain projection, "Your Highness, you started collecting those proofs quite early?"

"Five years ago," Si Yuting did not hide the truth, "Only with enough evidence could he be properly punished, although you hastened the process."

Qu Tong didn’t expect her thoughts to coincide with Si Yuting’s.

She knew that capital was far more terrifying than she had imagined; many things could be settled with money.

Even a death sentence could be commuted to a suspended sentence, which could then turn into a life sentence, and eventually a fixed-term sentence.

But while she chose to cut off the Lan Family’s financial sources, Si Yuting chose to gather evidence to consolidate multiple charges.

The ultimate goal was to deprive the Lan Family of any opportunity to finance their operations.

At noon, Fei Wenxing and the others came over to visit her.

After expressing their concerns, Cheng Yao exclaimed, "With such a big scandal from the Lan Family, it’s unclear if tomorrow night’s charity gala will still take place."

"What should we do? Hold it together with Lan Xingrui’s funeral?" Fei Wenxing mocked sarcastically.

Everyone seemed to agree, except Qu Tong, "It still needs to go on."

If not, where would the money come from?

Though it was a charity gala, the elixirs and treasures that the Lan Family auctioned off, 50% would be donated to charitable organizations, but wasn’t there still another 50%?

Not to mention the under-the-table gifts that came with the territory.

"Whether it happens or not, what does it matter to me? We’re not going anyway." Fei Wenxing said nonchalantly, waving his hand.

Fei Wenxing and the others had classes in the afternoon, but Xu An stayed behind.

Qu Tong asked Xuan Ping and the others to step out, then served Xu An a cup of osmanthus black tea.

Xu An stared at the tea somewhat absentmindedly.

Qu Tong leaned back in her chair, holding the cup, her voice casual, "Do you have something you want to ask me?"

After a long silence, Xu An struggled to speak, "Is Jun Li your real name?"

"I suppose it is," Qu Tong answered calmly, not at all surprised.

Perhaps Xu An had suspected earlier, but only recently had he dared to confirm it.

With the affirmative answer, Xu An didn’t know how to feel; he was confused.

After a good while, he asked another question, "Can you tell me how my sister passed away?"

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow, "You don’t suspect that your sister was killed by me?"

Xu An looked at the face in front of him, the same as his sister’s but with a completely different soul, and shook his head.

He had never suspected.

Actually, she didn’t have to be so kind to him; she owed him nothing.

"She had a Mental Outburst prematurely, and didn’t make it through."

Qu Tong subtly changed the phrasing.

The deceased had passed away, and she didn’t want Xu An to feel guilty for the rest of his life.

The original owner probably wouldn’t have wanted Xu An to feel that he hadn’t provided enough Star Coins either.

Xu An wasn’t wrong—his circumstances at school were already challenging enough.

The price of elixirs had increased, and Li Kun was not to blame either; he was just conducting business as usual.

Even Li Kun and the others weren’t related to the original owner’s death; even if they hadn’t stolen her Star Coins, she would still have died from the Mental Outburst.
