Noble Marriage

31: Chapter 31: I Don’t Hit Women 31: Chapter 31: I Don’t Hit Women Rong Shaoze was unprepared when, with a smack, he was slapped across the face.

Silence, a silence so frightening.

Lin Xinlan gasped for air, her eyes twinkling, and as she saw Rong Shaoze’s expression growing darker, she couldn’t help but shrink her neck, a guilty shine in her eyes.

“Lin Xinlan!” Rong Shaoze suddenly grabbed her chin, his face contorted with rage, “Very good, you dare to hit me?!

You actually dare to hit me!”

“I didn’t do it on purpose…”

“So you want to do it on purpose, don’t you?!

Or should I say, you’ve been wanting to slap me all along?

You’ve hit my head before, and now you’ve slapped my face, woman, do you have the guts of an overconfident leopard?!”

Lin Xinlan pursed her lips and remained silent, her expression somewhat innocent.

Actually, she really did want to slap him.

That slap just then, she herself wasn’t sure, whether it was unintentional, or intentional…

Seeing her like this, Rong Shaoze grew even angrier.

It was as if he was wronging her, but she had clearly hit him on the head before, and just now, she most definitely gave him a solid slap.

The man’s face turned an iron blue with anger, his eyes glaring darkly, teeth tightly clenched, looking like he was about to go mad.

Worried that he might lose his temper, Lin Xinlan hurriedly said, “Otherwise…

you can slap me back…”

Resigned to her fate, she closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling non-stop from fear.

Seeing her like this, who could still lay a hand on her.

Besides, Rong Shaoze wasn’t one to hit women.

He gripped her chin tightly and said fiercely, “I don’t hit women, but I have other ways to punish you.”

When he was utterly exhausted, Rong Shaoze caressed her smooth back and asked in a low voice, “Who is the man who brought you back?

Is he really your first man?”

Why can’t he just let it go!

Lin Xinlan was extremely tired and, fearing Rong Shaoze’s relentless questioning, decided to tell the truth, “No, he’s just a friend.”

“What kind of friend?”

“Just a friend!” She was already impatient.

After walking all day, then getting drenched in the rain, and now after being tossed around by him, all she wanted was to sleep off everything and care about nothing.

Rong Shaoze felt very dissatisfied with her attitude.

He had never been ignored or rejected, and Lin Xinlan’s demeanor completely enraged his pride.

He squeezed her chin harder, his tone already fiery, “Make it clear, if you don’t clarify, you won’t get to sleep tonight!”

Lin Xinlan opened her eyes irritably and said impatiently, “He’s a friend from my past business dealings.

I walked all day today, then got caught in the rain.

I ran into him on the road.

He simply kindly took me to his house to change my clothes, just kindly gave me a ride back here!

Rong Shaoze, is my first man really that important to you?

If you really want to meet him, go to the pig and dog pen!”

Rong Shaoze felt there was something odd about her words, couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was.

In any case, her tone seemed to suggest that her despicable first man…

was him.

Dismissing such an absurd thought from his mind, he asked again, “What’s that man’s name?”

“Who?”

“Your first man.”
