Chapter 16

She could only turn around and stomp her foot in frustration. "Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? Don't you feel embarrassed in front of a woman?" This man was truly shameless!

"The woman who was moaning under me last night should be more embarrassed, shouldn't she? You've already given me your body, so what is there to fear?" Her shy demeanor made his eyes light up. He had seen countless women pretending to be shy and acting coy in front of him. Women like her, who were genuine and appeared cute, were rare. His impression of her increased a little more.

Evil thoughts began to brew in his mind. He turned over and got up from the bed, pulling up his pajamas to cover his lower body. Walking behind Jennifer, he reached out from behind and embraced her.

Jennifer's struggles only resulted in him holding her tighter. His actions told her that she couldn't escape from his embrace. She could only compromise, stop struggling, and reluctantly say, "Don't you think our position is too intimate? We don't seem to know each other very well."

"We'll get to know each other better in the future, don't worry. We have plenty of time." Lowering his head, he could see her fair shoulder, and he had the urge to take a bite, but he dismissed the thought. With her, he needed more patience. Perhaps because of their intimacy last night, his initial impression of her had started to change. The disgust had disappeared, replaced by curiosity about why she ended up here.

"We have plenty of time?" Jennifer agreed with him. They were husband and wife, even if they were forced together, they still had a long time to spend together. However, she didn't want to stay in the Xie family forever. She admitted that he was a very charming man, and even though she had given herself to him, her regrets were not as strong as before.

Unfortunately, there was no love between them. When she had the chance to leave, she would still choose to go. "Are you like this with every woman?" She remembered his words from last night, saying that a woman who waited for him in bed would never be innocent. That meant there was more than one woman lying on his bed.

"Perhaps. I hope you can be my exception." Resting his head on her shoulder, he found himself intoxicated by her lack of a distinct scent. He couldn't help but say things that were usually difficult for him to say to women.

Feeling a bit pleased, she had a different kind of expectation for this marriage, something she couldn't control. After all, how many women lying in his arms wouldn't be attracted to such a charming man? She was no exception.

Their conversation, which was both unfamiliar and intimate, was interrupted by the ringing of a phone. David released Jennifer and took out his phone from his clothes pocket. Seeing that it was Henry calling, he knew Henry must be urging him for something. Should he consider keeping Henry around in Sunyang? This person was like a lingering ghost, quite annoying, especially when his parents were coming back. Henry felt more like a jinx.

He decided to turn off his phone, but he still needed to take a shower and change clothes. If he was late, the Xie family's elders would nag at him. "If you're tired, you can rest for a while and let Henry send you off later."

Jennifer was confused by his words. She was already staying here, so why would she need to be sent somewhere? She turned around abruptly, almost tripping again. "Why do I need to leave?"
