Chapter 65: It was jealousy of Pei Jiqing that made him realize his heart skipped a beat...
Chen Huixing's every move in bed was exactly what Pei Jiqing desired, to the exact same degree. It could even be said that no other Alpha in the world could so precisely align with his desires.
Off the bed, Chen Huixing was undeniably aggressive, the kind of dominance that could pin someone down at the negotiating table. But initially, it was Pei Jiqing who took the initiative. It was Pei Jiqing who gripped his wrist, guiding his hand along her taut waistline, gradually familiarizing him with her body
. Ultimately, an Alpha's physical strength was superior, a strength dictated by his biological structure.
Once Pei Jiqing relinquished control, Chen Huixing would take the initiative and bite back.
Chen Huixing's voice was tinged with gritted teeth, a mixture of inexplicable grievance and irritation. He stared into Pei Jiqing's eyes, squeezing out each word. "Are you really not afraid of feeding me sick? Pei Jiqing, aren't you cruel to me? Back then, I really doubted whether you considered me your husband or just a tool for your sexual gratification."
Pei Jiqing felt a little guilty at the question, his eyes instinctively shifting half an inch, but he quickly returned, feigning composure and retorting, "There are no side effects... the only consequence is a stronger desire."
The gloom in Chen Huixing's eyes deepened. "So you can feed me anything?"
He pinched Pei Jiqing's chin, rubbing his thumb hard against his lips.
Pei Jiqing frowned at the pinch and raised his hand to clasp his wrist. "Chen Huixing, stop being unreasonable." Chen
Huixing raised his hand to hold Pei Jiqing's shoulder. "I wasn't being unreasonable. I was just angry when you met Wei Ji behind my back. What normal man wouldn't think too much?"
Pei Jiqing frowned and was about to speak when he was interrupted.
Chen Huixing's eyes were fierce and aggrieved, like a wolf cornered, baring its fangs when it should, but instead, they reddened. "Yes, I haven't seen it from your perspective. But what about you? Have you ever seen it from my perspective? When I married you, I was as clean as a blank sheet of paper..."
This was the first time Pei Jiqing had heard himself described that way.
Pei Jiqing sneered, "Yes, I'm a blank sheet of paper."
Chen Huixing: "That's not what I meant... I'm just..."
Jealousy.
The word rolled over his tongue a thousand times before finally being uttered, tinged with self-abandonment.
"Jealous that I'm not your only one, but having only two is also good..." Chen Huixing said, "I don't want to see you have only three, only four."
"You used to be so accommodating and doting on me, so naturally, I've become lawless."
"Pei Jiqing, how can you be so cruel? I told you I was wrong, I was wrong, and you wouldn't listen."
Pei Jiqing thought, this is his fault?
He raised his hand to cover the chattering mouth, but Chen Huixing turned his head away. Her warm tongue deliberately brushed against his palm, causing his arm to stiffen, his movements frozen in mid-air.
"Shut up," Pei Jiqing's voice tightened.
Chen Huixing replied, "You said you loved me the most and wanted to grow old with me... but how long has it been since?"
Pei Jiqing felt a tightness in his chest, feeling completely unreasonable. Did he not love him? It was clear that the mountains of disappointment had weighed him down, leaving him with no energy for love.
Chen Huixing was furious, and dared to say anything. The more he saw Pei Jiqing's cold and self-possessed demeanor, the more he wanted to rip his facade apart. How had he seduced him in the past? How had he clung to him? How had he praised him to the skies, spoiling him until he lost his temper? Now, with such a sudden change in treatment, he felt utterly devastated.
A wave of resentment gnawed at his sanity like a venomous snake. They had been so good together before, so good that he'd believed they could live like this forever.
"I've been thinking and thinking a lot these days." Chen Huixing looked directly at Pei Jiqing. "I've realized that no matter how I push you, you back down faster than anyone else. Let you go, you'll just turn around and find someone else."
Pei Jiqing: "So, what do you want?" Chen
Huixing suddenly lost his temper, his shoulders slumping slightly. His voice was almost inaudible: "I just want you to... stop avoiding me and give me the cold shoulder, okay?"
It was as if he had completely conceded defeat.
Pei Jiqing looked into Chen Huixing's pleading eyes, feeling a sharp prick in his heart. It didn't hurt, but a strange soreness welled up in him. He turned his face away, his voice deliberately cold and hard: "I'm here to work, I don't want to talk about anything else."
Chen Huixing acted as if he hadn't heard him. He leaned in close, his warm breath fanning the side of his snow-white neck, his lips almost touching his skin: "I love you... Don't do this to me."
Pei Jiqing froze and pushed him away: "If you keep doing this, I'd rather sleep on the street than here tonight."
The warning in his tone was too obvious to ignore.
Chen Huixing paused, scrambling down from him, but unwillingly pulled out her phone, deliberately turning up the volume. Her daughter's crisp voice rang from the other end: "Daddy?"
Chen Huixing glanced at Pei Jiqing: "He's right next to me, asleep."
Pei Jiqing's ears perked up unconsciously, but he forced himself not to look over there.
"Does Dad live with Father?" Zhizhi's voice was innocent. "Father, Chen Chengyu said he's going to have a sister, and I want one too." Chen
Huixing suddenly lowered his voice, deliberately speaking loudly enough for Pei Jiqing to hear: "Sister? Can't have a sister..."
"Why?"
he drawled, his eyes flicking pointedly across Pei Jiqing's tense profile: "Ask Dad."
Pei Jiqing looked up suddenly, catching Chen Huixing's eye. He tapped his fingertips on the edge of his phone, his tone evidently playful. "If Dad agrees, we can have a sister. It's not something Dad can decide alone."
Pei Jiqing felt irritated and covered himself with the quilt. Late that night, half asleep, he felt a burning gaze burning his back.
The next day, when he turned around, he saw only the spot where Chen Huixing had slept, even the corners of the quilt neatly folded. The next day,
while photographing the soldiers of the Asian Alliance, Chen Huixing was unexpectedly generous and directly dispatched a military jeep to take them through the military zone.
The car body rolled over the gravel road, raising fine dust. Pei Jiqing's fingers, tightly gripping the camera, turned slightly white.
"We can't get too close to military strongholds. How do you want to shoot?"
Even though he was no longer willing to talk to Shen Huixing, Pei Jiqing's professional ethics still made him give professional advice with a stern face.
Lao Yu came over and lowered his voice: "Your husband is quite generous."
Pei Jiqing immediately corrected: "Ex-husband."
When the jeep entered the restricted area, when the whole scene unfolded in his field of vision, Pei Jiqing quickly got into work mode.
"The finished film will be given to you for review."
When Pei Jiqing raised his camera, he happened to catch up with Shen Huixing assembling the team. The man in the neat military uniform in the viewfinder stood at the front of the queue, and the sunlight gilded his sharp outlines. Pei Jiqing subconsciously pressed the shutter, and the lens accurately captured the man's inviolable and stern aura - the straight nose, the tightly pursed lips, and even the shadow cast on the ground was as sharp as a knife.
It was n't until the figure in the viewfinder suddenly looked up that Pei Jiqing realized his heart had skipped a beat.
