Chapter 44: Chapter 44 The Nominal Mrs. Sheng
 

Ye Shu’s delicate brows furrowed slightly as she glanced at him.

“Mr. Sheng is really interesting. You won’t help me, and you won’t even let me, the nominal Mrs. Sheng, find my own way?”

Her voice was soft and glutinous, clearly annoyed with him, but no trace of anger could be heard. Instead, it was imbued with a tempting allure that made people restless.

Sheng Shaochen furrowed his brows and forcefully lifted her chin to kiss her.

Her neatly trimmed nails scraped from his neck, across his muscular chest, blossoming trails of blood.

It was a shocking sight!

...

The slight pain made Sheng Shaochen stop his movements, his deep blue eyes flaring with anger, his voice hoarser than before, “Ye Shu, in your eyes, as long as there’s a profit to be made, anyone will do?”

Ye Shu felt a pang of pain at his accurate strike.

A flicker of hurt crossed her eyes. She reached for the cigarettes and lighter placed on the low mobile cabinet by the shore.

Snap—

The flame leaped up, and Ye Shu brought the male cigarette close, lighting it.

She took a deep drag.

The flavor of the male cigarette was much harsher than the female’s, causing her to cough uncontrollably several times.

She even coughed up tears.

Turning her face, she gazed at Sheng Shaochen with a smile that curved her eyebrows, the tear at the corner of her eye seemingly seductive without reason.

“Should I interpret this as Mr. Sheng being jealous?”

Ye Shu squinted her eyes, a false smile rippling within, her red lips touching the yellow section of the cigarette.

But Sheng Shaochen snatched it away with one hand.

He took a deep drag and then stubbed the cigarette out on the shore.

He reached out and slapped Ye Shu heavily, “I am merely reminding you of your duties as Mrs. Sheng!”

Her duties as Mrs. Sheng?

Ye Shu scoffed sarcastically.

She understood better than anyone! He might not fulfill the duties of a husband, but she must adhere strictly to the duties of a wife!

Ye Shu raised her face, “Of course, I don’t dare forget, especially now when I am penniless and cannot afford to pay the breach of contract fee! But I can’t just watch Zifeng get into trouble, he is my life after all! So, shouldn’t Mr. Sheng consider the tough situation of Mrs. Sheng and lend a hand?”

Ye Shu’s words were soft, yet each word and phrase conveyed a firm determination.

Implicitly, she was willing to risk everything to save Ye Zifeng!

“Ye Shu, being arrogant because of favor is not a wise move!” Sheng Shaochen’s large hand gently patted her soaked back.

His palm felt warm, but to Ye Shu, it felt as if it were covered in ice, each pat seeming to freeze her to the core.

It chilled her heart.

She was acutely aware that from the day she signed the prenuptial agreement, she had lost her dignity and freedom!

Before bearing a child, her body must completely belong only to Sheng Shaochen.

Therefore, her current actions were akin to plucking a tiger’s whiskers, always risking angering Sheng Shaochen.

“Mr. Sheng also said that a self-proclaimed clever woman is not at all cute. So I choose to naively beg for Mr. Sheng’s favor.”

As Ye Shu spoke, her beautiful eyelashes lightly tangled with Sheng Shaochen’s thick lashes, trembling lightly as they brushed against each other.
