Chapter 43

Madam, please eat something first! Sir said that you would be hungry when you woke up. The maid quickly led Sima Qi downstairs.Only then did Sima Qi feel that her stomach was flat and extremely hungry.Sima Qi wolfed down her food. After eating, she wiped her mouth and suddenly asked, “Oh right, where is my husband?”Now that she was awake, surely he would have rushed back to see her.The servant looked up towards the study on the second floor.Sima Qi also looked at the second floor and quickly jumped up. “What? He’s in the study?”The servant nodded.Sima Qi could not believe it. “Then, when I was unconscious, did he come to see me?”She was quickly informed that he had been watching over her for a day and a night, and that he was now trying to catch up on his sleep since he was so exhausted.The servant said, “Sir said that since one doesn’t care about their own body, how could others be expected to care about them?”Sima Qi was silent.Was he angry with her?She tiptoed up the stairs.Only God knew why she was acting like a thief.She knocked on the door of the study.A crisp voice came from inside, “Come in.”Sima Qi walked in and saw her husband was nestled on the sofa, reading a book.When he saw her, he only glanced at her briefly before quickly looking away.Oh my God, he really was angry.Sima Qi coughed dryly and suddenly stretched out her arm with a distressed expression. “Oh, why does my back hurt? Hubby, please help me massage my shoulders. Here.”She shamelessly leaned over and leaned her shoulder against him.Her expression was mournful and sorrowful, as she attempted to win the man’s pity.Shi Mo paused and met the woman’s watery eyes. He put down the book and pressed his hand on her shoulder.”Now you know how painful it is. Earlier, did you not think about your own body when you took so many stimulant pills?””I did, I did! Of course I did, but I couldn’t let the person who drugged me get what she wanted.””Ouch, that hurts.”The man increased his strength and said, “Remember, nothing is more important than your life. It’s just a show! Don’t do it again.””I won’t do it again,” Sima Qi promised.Although Shi Mo behaved sternly, he was still worried about her health.He had wanted to leave her hanging, but he knew that she would be waking up soon, so he had deliberately not seen her and let the maid tell her he was angry.He had not expected his resolve to break when he saw her.”The next time you don’t cherish yourself, I won’t allow you to enter the entertainment industry, understand?””Are you trying to hide your wife in a house of gold?!””Why not?” Shi Mo seemed to be seriously considering this question. It was as if he felt that it would be good to hide her in a room all the time so that only he could see her.Sima Qi panicked and said, “You should give me a different punishment.”Shi Mo paused a moment. “Punish you… to please me, hmm?”Sima Qi blinked her eyes and in the next second, she leaned over and kissed the man’s lips.Her kiss was like the wind blowing across the lake. With a light touch, it left quickly, leaving the receiver wanting more.When Sima Qi retreated, she realized that a hand had been placed on her lower back, preventing her from retreating.Following that, she was pressed further in the man’s direction.In the very next moment, her lips were captured by the man again.He allowed himself to enjoy the attack that he had initiated.Sima Qi was once again overwhelmed by an unfamiliar feeling. Her entire body was trembling unable to find relief. She could only groan as she accepted everything that he was giving her.She felt breathless.Her brain was deprived of oxygen and seemed to have gone completely blank.Sima Qi heard the man’s voice coming from above her head. “Qi, breathe.””Huff!” The next moment, Sima Qi knew she had to take a deep breath.She had almost suffocated to death just now.Shi Mo’s eyes were tinged with laughter. “It looks like you still need to practice your kissing skills. It’s alright, I’ll teach you in the future.””Teach me what? You’re so annoying!” Sima Qi punched his chest with her small fists.She was embarrassed because she did not know how to breathe while kissing.The man grabbed her still moving hands. “Don’t move. I’m worried that I won’t be able to control myself.”He pulled her into his arms.Sima Qi was sitting on the man’s body and could clearly feel the changes in his body.Something was ready to come out.She instantly froze.She knew what this meant.In the air, the scent of intimacy was strong.Sima Qi did not know what she was anticipating and was still unclear about things in that regard. All she knew was that she did not want to move away from the man. She inhaled his scent deeply which made her feel very comfortable.After a few minutes, the man finally calmed down.He spoke again, “Do you know who gave you the sleeping pills?”Sima Qi blurted without thinking, “Who else could it have been? It was Zhang Rong!””So, it was her!” Shi Mo was a little upset. He said, “I know that you don’t want me to interfere in what you do with them but I couldn’t help but cause a little fire for that woman.”Shi Mo knew that Sima Qi wanted to complete her revenge, so he should have respected her wishes.However, his woman had been bullied, so he could not just sit alone. Thus, the punishment had to be kept small.
