Free Web NovelChapter 482: Chapter 172: You Know How to Drive
"Jie Jingsi, when do you go back to work?" Qin Mei asked.
"Tomorrow," Jie Jingchen replied. There was a hint of emotion in his tone, and Qin Mei caught it.
’He heard me tricking Jing Qi. He’s upset about it!’
Qin Mei didn’t respond, closing her eyes to rest.
After hanging the clothes to dry, Jie Jingchen walked over to Qin Mei and sat down in the wicker chair beside her. He leaned in close to her ear and asked in a low voice, "Why did you lie to Jing Qi?"
Qin Mei tensed up. She opened her eyes and gazed at Jie Jingchen’s face, so close to her own. After a moment of daze, she acted on a strange impulse, reaching out to trace his perfectly chiseled features with her fingertips.
"Meimei." Jie Jingchen’s throat tightened as he grasped her slender wrist.
A sudden whim struck Qin Mei. She wanted to test who was more important in his heart: her or Jing Qi. Her fingers trailed from his chin down to his bobbing Adam’s apple, lingering there for a few seconds before continuing downward. Then, she suddenly grabbed his collar and yanked him toward her.
Jie Jingchen froze in shock, steadying the wicker chair. As he stared in confusion, Qin Mei gave him a mischievous grin. Her voice was low to prevent Jing Qi from hearing. "Because Jing Qi is easy to fool."
Jie Jingchen was stunned for a moment. Under Qin Mei’s provocative gaze, he keenly perceived her intentions.
He shot out a long arm, wrapped it around her waist, and with a single pull, lifted her completely off the wicker chair. Qin Mei couldn’t help but cry out in surprise. "Ah!"
Jie Jingchen remained seated in the wicker chair while Qin Mei was sprawled on top of him. With one on top of the other, their position was quite suggestive.
"Jie Jingsi, what’s gotten into you?" Qin Mei tried to get up, but Jie Jingchen held her tightly. The courtyard gate wasn’t closed. If someone were to walk in and see them in this position, they’d become the main topic of gossip. "Jie Jingsi, let go."
"Maybe I am losing my mind." Instead of letting go, Jie Jingchen hugged her even tighter, as if trying to merge her into his very body.
Qin Mei couldn’t break free. She pounded on his chest a few times, but it was like she was just tickling him. Jie Jingchen remained unmoved. Qin Mei then pinched and squeezed his waist, and after her maneuvering, she clearly felt his body react. Qin Mei was shocked. "You..."
"Meimei, I want..." Jie Jingchen’s voice was a little hoarse, his amber eyes burning with a heat that was all too familiar to Qin Mei.
"You want, my ass," Qin Mei cut him off, glaring at him irritably. She bent her leg and vengefully jabbed her knee into his vulnerable spot.
"Ngh..." Jie Jingchen grunted in pain but didn’t cry out, letting out only a muffled groan. He shot Qin Mei a look of shock and resentment.
Qin Mei looked at him innocently, even offering him a harmless smile.
He could never bring himself to hit or scold her; he had no choice but to dote on her. Jie Jingchen took a few deep breaths. Once the pain subsided, he pressed a large hand on her knee to prevent her from jabbing him again. Another hit like that, and he might really be ruined.
"Who taught you that move?" Jie Jingchen asked irritably.
"Your mom." Qin Mei’s smile turned into a roguish grin.
Jie Jingchen was speechless. His mother had taken out Xu Chunwang with a kick like that. Qin Mei had learned the essence of the move and expanded its use to him and Qin Xiang.
"Don’t worry, I know my limits. I wouldn’t ruin you." Qin Mei patted his cheek. ’This is my man. I’d ruin anyone else before I ruined him. This is just a little punishment to teach him a lesson, to get him to control himself and not be so impulsive all the time.’
Jie Jingchen squeezed her kneecap hard. A devilish smile played on his lips as he said in a teasing tone, "If you ruin me, you’re the one who’ll be living a lonely life."
Qin Mei stared at him intently, her gaze turning a bit strange. Not wanting to test his limits, she moved off of Jie Jingchen.
Jie Jingchen let out an imperceptible sigh of relief. ’Qin Mei really does know her limits. She knows when to quit while she’s ahead and isn’t foolish enough to keep provoking me.’ The corners of his lips curved up slightly. "Meimei, where are you going?"
"To the bathroom." Qin Mei stopped and turned to look at Jie Jingchen, asking suggestively, "Want to come with?"
Jie Jingchen shook his head decisively. If he dared to go with her, she would totally flip out.
When Qin Mei came out of the bathroom, she saw Jie Jingchen scratching himself. Her gaze flickered as she noticed the red rash visible on his neck.
"Jie Jingsi," Qin Mei called out. Hearing her voice, Jie Jingchen stopped scratching and turned to look at her questioningly. Qin Mei crooked a finger at him. "Come here."
Jie Jingchen paused for a moment. He didn’t dare disobey his wife, so he got up and walked toward her.
Qin Mei turned and went back into the house, and Jie Jingchen followed her inside.
"Close the door," Qin Mei said in a commanding tone.
Jie Jingchen was very obedient. The moment he closed the door, Qin Mei came up behind him and eagerly started taking off his clothes. Jie Jingchen was dumbfounded. ’Is my wife being this passionate?’
