Chapter 183 Holding Her to Sleep

Xia Zhi listened to He Jinnan's words without uttering a sound, simply burying her head deeper into the pillow.

He Jinnan leaned his body forward from behind but he didn't adhere to her body as she wished, nor did he place his other arm under her neck, merely closing the distance between them.

Bitterness filled Xia Zhi's heart. Using the pillow to wipe away tears, she said in a muffled voice, "He Jinnan, just demean me, then. If I didn't like you, would I ask this of you? You clearly agreed to a one-year agreement with me. During this year, shouldn't you fulfill your duty as a husband?"

She questioned him, pulling his hand away from around her waist, "Just like you said, no matter what, I am still your wife. It is so before others, and it should be the same when it's just the two of us alone. I hope you can be gentler with me, even if you have to pretend for a year, I would still appreciate it."
