Chapter 67: Suffocating Possessiveness
Qin Qi's facial muscles were extremely stiff. When people are angry, they will subconsciously clench their jaws. Therefore, Qin Qi's handsome face was covered with a layer of coldness and alienation, and his eyes carried an obvious interrogation. All these micro-expressions made Kong Nanzhu feel puzzled.
She just met a friend she hadn't seen for many years and exchanged a few words. There was no reason for Qin Qi to be so angry, as if she had done something wrong to him.
What's more, she had dinner with Bai Yuxi during the summer vacation of her sophomore year. At that time, she and Qin Qi were just a brother and sister. She had no reason to report all her social activities to her brother.
Kong Nanzhu: "I don't understand why you are angry. Senior Yuxi and I are just friends. It is normal for us to have a meal together before going abroad. Going to the bar was also a last-minute decision. He has never pursued me."
After saying this, the strange feeling that had been suppressed in Kong Nanzhu's heart prompted her to add, "Your possessiveness is a bit too strong. Whenever there is a member of the opposite sex around me, you behave abnormally, which makes me feel troubled."
Qin Qi's emotions were directly triggered by her words, "I don't want there to be any man beside you except me! Why do you want to go to the bar alone with a man? What if he has ill intentions, what if he has other ideas about you..."
Kong Nanzhu closed her eyes. Qin Qi's stubborn gaze made her feel a little breathless. She stood up and walked out of the house. Qin Qi grabbed her and pushed her against the rose wall with brutal force, causing many flowers to fall off.
“Where are you going!”
Kong Nanzhu was frightened.
Her back was hurt a little from the impact.
When Qin Qi saw the frightened expression on Kong Nanzhu's face, he seemed to be awakened by a slap in the face, realizing that the force he had just used might have hurt Kong Nanzhu. He reached out to hug the person tightly in his arms, but Kong Nanzhu struggled and pushed him away.
"Nannan, I'm a little anxious."
The last thing Qin Qi wanted to happen was that Kong Nanzhu was afraid of him.
"I saw a photo of you and him on your WeChat Moments, and I asked you about him at the time, but you never told me that you two had ever been out alone. Why did you hide it from me?"
Kong Nanzhu shook her head and couldn't help trembling. "Just a friend. I should have my own friends, right?"
Qin Qi took a deep breath and tried to make his tone less impatient. "You don't know what they are thinking. You are too naive and easily deceived by appearances. Of course you need friends, but you don't need male friends. You have Xu Qingqing, that's enough, isn't it?"
wrong.
Of course not.
It shouldn't be like this.
Kong Nanzhu finally realized clearly where the uncomfortable feeling came from since she married Qin Qi.
Qin Qi's feelings for her are not normal.
At least it is not based on respect for her.
She used to think Qin Qi didn't like her, so when Qin Qi showed his jealousy towards Song Linyuan, Kong Nanzhu was secretly delighted. But as events happened again and again, Kong Nanzhu began to feel overwhelmed by Qin Qi's strong desire to control and possess her.
The most terrifying thing is that every time she would take the initiative to help Qin Qi find a suitable reason and consider his emotions from his perspective.
She has been tolerant, no, indulgent, time and again, which has resulted in the current situation.
Kong Nanzhu asked, "It's impossible for me to never have any contact with the opposite sex for my whole life. You don't want me to start a company, and you don't want me to continue to expand the scale and build a team. Is it because you don't want me to come into contact with other opposite sexes because of work?"
Qin Qi swallowed his anger. Kong Nanzhu had bluntly pierced through this layer of window paper, which seemed to make him look a little bit unbearable. Even if he really thought so in his heart, he still felt a little bit unacceptable when the words came out of Kong Nanzhu's mouth.
"No, no, I want you to be my makeup artist, just so I can be with you every day. Don't you want us to see each other every day?"
This statement is a bit high-sounding.
Kong Nanzhu already had the answer in his heart.
She felt disappointed and scared. It turned out that Qin Qi's love for her was based on such twisted emotions. She didn't know how to solve this problem.
It was impossible for her to live like a bird in a cage at home for the rest of her life as he said.
Who can tell her what to do? What should she do?
How can she make Qin Qi understand and respect her basic freedom to make friends as a person?
In other words, how can she make Qin Qi understand that she is not just his wife, she is Kong Nanzhu first, and herself first. She has things she wants to accomplish, she needs social relationships other than marriage, she needs social recognition, and she needs a career that can realize her self-worth.
These problems weighed on Kong Nanzhu's shoulders one after another. His heart ached as if it was twisted by a hand and then kneaded and pulled. Even breathing would cause pain in his heart. Kong Nanzhu had to bend his back to relieve the discomfort.
Qin Qi saw that Kong Nanzhu's eyes were red and his arrogance had weakened. He reached out again and tried to embrace Kong Nanzhu in his arms, but was rejected again.
He thought his worries were not unnecessary.
How many men are serious?
Especially for someone as beautiful as Kong Nanzhu, it is impossible for a man to not have dirty thoughts in his mind when approaching her.
Kong Nanzhu: "We need to calm down. Can you give me some time to think about these issues between us ?"
A strong sense of uneasiness flashed through Qin Qi's heart. This uneasiness was very familiar. It also appeared last time when the two of them had a cold war because he was drugged.
"No, there is no problem between us. As long as you stop contacting Bai Yuxi in the future, he will not interfere with our lives."
Kong Nanzhu covered his ears and slowly squatted down along the wall.
"Please, Qin Qi, give me some space and stop saying such things. You are almost suffocating me."
It was also the first time that Qin Qi saw Kong Nanzhu look so desperate and helpless. He stood there in a daze.
He didn't force her to do anything, he just asked her not to meet the man again.
"Is he important to you?"
Kong Nanzhu stood up suddenly, frantically grabbed the roses stuck on the wall, yanked them randomly without any rules, and threw the plucked flowers at Qin Qi fiercely, "It has nothing to do with others, it's you!"
The intense tingling sensation at his fingertips stopped Kong Nanzhu's crazy actions, and Qin Qi was completely stunned.
The thorns on the rose branch were not completely cleaned, and bright red blood flowed from Kong Nanzhu's fingertips. She looked at the mess on the ground and the English spelling pattern that she had destroyed , and tears flowed silently like beads from a broken string.
She had never done anything so outrageous before. Her upbringing and family education would not allow her to be so crazy and rude.
But she was driven as if she had lost her mind.
She found iodine and Band-Aids in the first aid kit in the room. After treating the wound, Kong Nanzhu locked herself in a separate room in the private bathhouse and sobbed.
She didn't know who to turn to for help.
Once again, she fell into such a helpless and confused situation.
She longed for Qin Qi's love and dreamed of having a happy life with him. Now it seemed that she had everything, but these were just illusions of superficial harmony. She could not accept spending the rest of her life with Qin Qi like this.
Qin Qi stood by the French window, waiting anxiously. What happened tonight was not in his plan at all. He admitted that his emotions were out of control and he shouldn't have spoken to Kong Nanzhu in that tone.
Originally, the purpose of this trip was to let Kong Nanzhu experience the joy and happiness of living with him. He wanted to show the image of a perfect husband to Kong Nanzhu. He designed romantic scenes and created a sweet atmosphere, but why did it turn out like this now?
If he had not met Bai Yuxi, he should have happily returned to bed with the tipsy Kong Nanzhu and continued their unfinished lovemaking during the day.
Finally, after Qin Qi knocked on the door for the fifth time, Kong Nanzhu came out with a pale face.
"I want to talk to you."
