Chapter 16

A kiss to enhance the relationship between husband and wife

The man didn’t even raise his head.

“I suggest that we kiss before dinner to improve our relationship,” Ye Beisheng suggested, not feeling awkward at all.

“So, there’s something we can do to improve our relationship?”

Ye Beisheng quickly answered, “It’s precisely because we don’t have feelings for each other now that we need to kiss more to cultivate them!”

Huo Shiting’s dark eyes flickered, and he didn’t look at her. “Mrs. Huo, please mind your manners.”

Her face turned red.

Ye Beisheng gulped as she stuttered, “I... I... We’re already married! What’s wrong with us kissing?!”

Huo Shiting paused and slowly said the words one by one. “It seems like Mrs. Huo is satisfied with our marriage?”

Ye Beisheng’s alarm immediately went off, and she hurriedly put down her chopsticks. She almost made an oath as she said, “Of course I am!”

After all, Huo Shiting was her medicine. She had worked so hard to recover her taste buds all these years, but now that Huo Shiting was sitting right across from her, why wouldn’t she be happy with it?

Ye Beisheng’s face turned red, and she stuttered.

“Ninth master, why don’t you believe that I’ve fallen in love with you? I... love you, and so I want to improve our relationship, can’t I?”

Huo Shiting narrowed his eyes and didn’t expose the woman’s embarrassment. He just said casually, “You love me?”

“Yes!” Ye Beisheng nodded her head vigorously.

Seeing that Huo Shiting no longer spoke, Ye Beisheng looked around awkwardly.

Why wasn’t he saying anything? Doesn’t he agree with what she was saying?

So... she could kiss him now because she loved him so much, right?

Ye Beisheng immediately gathered her courage and suppressed her heart that was about to jump out of her throat. She closed his eyes, gritted her teeth, and was about to kiss the man in front of him like a warrior ready for her death.

Then she suddenly heard Huo Shiting’s voice.

“It’s a pity...” The man slowed down his tone. The moment she was about to touch his lips, he turned his head slightly.

“It’s a pity that I’m not the least bit interested in you.”

Ye Beisheng’s head froze in mid-air.

After trying for a long time, she still couldn’t kiss him. Seeing that the food was about to turn cold, she gritted her teeth.

How could there be such an unromantic man?

“It’s okay, Mr. Huo,” Ye Beisheng said with a sinister smile after taking a deep breath. “I love you. Although I can’t get your heart, I’m happy with just having your body. So, let’s kiss, okay?”

His body?

Huo Shiting raised his eyes slightly. This woman wanted a divorce at first, but after knowing his identity, her attitude changed. Plus, given how she was short on money, he quickly figured out the reason.

But now she was saying that she loved him? She even said that she only wanted his body, even if she couldn’t capture his heart. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, she looked like she wanted to die while trying to kiss him, as she was speaking as if she loved him.

Huo Shiting didn’t know why, but he suddenly felt upset. His fingers suddenly turned pale. “You’re full of lies.”

Ye Beisheng’s face turned even paler when she heard this, and her lips, which were about to touch his lips, stopped in their tracks.

After a moment of silence, she shrank back and continued eating rice from her bowl.

Huo Shiting sneered and looked away from her.

Huo Shiting seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly opened the WeChat interface and sent a message to his junior’s account: [Are you the one who hacked into the database of Ningan Hospital?]

The more Ye Beisheng thought about it, the angrier she got. Why did Huo Shiting look down on her? What right did he have to say that she didn’t respect herself? They were already married. What was a man like him reserved for?

She no longer wanted to eat. Her phone vibrated, and she turned her head back to read the message.

Then, she was completely stunned.
