Not Ready for the Wedding Night?

"You…"

Xun'er's heart trembled violently as she looked into Gu Fei's eyes and heard the disdain in his tone.

During this time, Gu Fei had always been very considerate of her, constantly trying to please her and caring for her. He had never raised his voice at her like this before.

But now, his previous submissiveness had completely disappeared, and Xun'er couldn't accept it.

Ding! Xun'er experiences a feeling of panic, emotion value +100.

"But even so, I have never done anything to wrong you!"

Xun'er lowered her head, not daring to look Gu Fei in the eyes. Her tone was no longer as confident as before; instead, it was laced with a bit of fragility.

"Really? As your husband, I've invited you several times to go out with me, but you always refused with excuses like cultivating and various other reasons!"

"But when it comes to that so-called Xiao Yan 'brother' of yours, you rush to meet him without a word, even going so far as to hide it from everyone else!"

"Doesn't that seem suspicious to you?"

Gu Fei's lips curled into a faint, almost elegant smile.

There was no sarcasm, no disdain—just a calm, indifferent tone.

"…"

Seeing Gu Fei's calm expression, Xun'er began to panic. She realized that Gu Fei might truly no longer care about her.

Moreover, Gu Fei's words made Xun'er feel a deep sense of shame.

As a wife, she hadn't fulfilled her duties. And as a married woman, she should have kept a proper distance from other men, which was an unspoken rule.

Ding! Xun'er experiences guilt and panic, emotion value +200.

"I… Gu Fei, it's not what you think, I just…"

"You just never cared about me as your husband. No matter how good I am to you, it's never enough compared to your 'old lover'!"

"No… it's not that I don't care about you…"

At this point, even Xun'er herself found it hard to continue speaking.

Some truths were undeniable; even if Gu Fei wasn't blind, he could see her behavior.

"Our marriage means nothing to you!"

"All the kindness I've shown you is meaningless compared to the happiness you find with your 'old lover'!"

Gu Fei spoke again, his voice devoid of the warmth it once held, as if he were a stranger.

This made Xun'er panic.

Whether before or after their marriage, Gu Fei had always been very good to her.

Moreover, Gu Fei was indeed outstanding, a genius of this world.

At this point, Xun'er absolutely refused to consider divorce from Gu Fei.

It would have too great an impact on her!

"And now, I am your husband, yet you treat another man so well—sending him cultivation techniques, sending him the sub-flame, and even planning to secretly meet with him…"

"Secretly meeting him behind everyone's back—are you planning to go even further and sleep with him?"

"We've been married for half a year, and you haven't consummated our marriage. Are you saving yourself for another man?"

Gu Fei's gaze toward Xun'er grew more disdainful.

"No!"

Xun'er panicked, instantly crying out.

Looking at Gu Fei's expression, she was on the verge of breaking down.

Who could endure being so despised by their own husband?

Ding! Xun'er experiences emotional breakdown, critical hit, emotion value +1000.

"Gu Fei, it's not what you think. The reason we haven't consummated the marriage is just because I'm not ready…" Xun'er explained anxiously.

"Not ready?"

"What would being ready look like?"

"Are you planning to save yourself for your 'old lover'?"

"Is that what you're preparing for?"

Gu Fei's eyes showed a hint of disgust.

"Nonsense! I haven't done that!"

Xun'er was visibly agitated by Gu Fei's words, her voice rising in protest.

"Gu Fei, how can you say that about me? In your eyes, am I really such a wanton and despicable woman…"

Xun'er stared directly at Gu Fei for a long time, tears silently streaming down her cheeks.

She questioned Gu Fei angrily.

Ding! Xun'er experiences anger, emotion value +100.

Xun'er was already beautiful, and at this moment, with tears streaming down her face, she exuded a poignant beauty.

Most men, seeing this scene, would feel an urge to console her.

However, Gu Fei felt no pity at all, remaining cold and indifferent.

"If not, then what?"

"You think you can focus all your attention on another man and still expect me to see you as pure and virtuous?"

Gu Fei spoke with disdain.

If someone did something despicable, how could they expect others not to call them out?

Where in the world could such a thing be possible?

Hearing Gu Fei's words, Xun'er's initial anger gradually dissipated, replaced by a sense of shame.

She understood that in this matter, she was indeed in the wrong.

Ding! Xun'er experiences guilt, emotion value +100.

Gu Fei said nothing, quietly sitting in his chair.

After a moment, Xun'er regained her composure slightly and looked at Gu Fei, but she didn't dare to meet his gaze directly. Biting her lip, she said, "I just wanted to help him; I didn't do anything to wrong you!"

Ding! Xun'er experiences guilt, emotion value +100.

"That man enjoys privileges that even I, as your husband, have never experienced!"

"Do you think that just because you haven't slept with him, it's not considered cheating?"

"If you want to see him so badly, why not bring him into the Gu Clan to take my place!"

Gu Fei continued to mock her.

"You… Gu Fei, don't speak so disgustingly. I only see him as a family member!"

Gu Fei's words were extremely blunt, and Xun'er, ashamed to the extreme, once again displayed a trace of anger.

"Is what I said disgusting? Then isn't what you've done even more disgusting?"

Gu Fei retorted.

This silenced Xun'er.

"What, did I hit the mark, and now you're upset?"

Gu Fei asked sarcastically as he looked at the stunned Xun'er.

Xun'er lowered her head, feeling both panicked and ashamed.

Ding! Xun'er experiences panic and shame, emotion value +100.

"Xun'er, I admit that I once really liked you. For you, I nearly lost myself!"

"I tried my best to give you everything! Whatever you wanted, I never refused!"

"But you always thought that was just something you deserved!"

"I thought that all this was temporary, that if I kept being good to you, one day you would open your heart to me!"

"Now, I finally understand that your heart has always belonged to another man!"

"Since your heart isn't here and your body isn't willing to be with me!"

"Then you no longer have the right to enjoy my affection for free!"

Gu Fei's gaze was icy cold, his voice sharp and severe.

As these words fell, the sense of shame in Xun'er's heart grew even stronger, leaving her speechless.

Ding! Xun'er experiences extreme shame, emotion value +300.
