Shang Xufeng had kissed her like this before, but for some reason, this time she felt an unprecedented resistance.
Her heart resisted, but she was afraid of angering him and didn't dare to resist, so she could only clench her fists tighter.
Suddenly releasing her, he saw her pale face and his anger surged rapidly. "Qiuling Yao, are you so stupid that you can't even breathe properly?"
"...," she pressed her lips together, not wanting to say anything.
"You!" He noticed her abnormality and immediately pried open her clenched fist. When he saw her palm, his heart skipped a beat at the sight of the blood.
"Xiao Gu!!!" he shouted loudly, causing the entire building to tremble.
"Mr. Feng." Xiao Gu rushed in immediately, followed by Ah Da and the tall, leggy beauty.
Seeing the injury on Qiuling Yao's hand, Xiao Gu didn't wait for Shang Xufeng's orders and immediately started disinfecting it.
"How is it?" Shang Xufeng asked.
He held Qiuling Yao tightly in his arms, exerting so much force that she found it difficult to breathe.
"Mr. Feng, don't worry, it's not serious," Xiao Gu replied.
In fact, the injury was very minor, but because it was someone their master cared about, even a minor injury was a big deal.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble," Qiuling Yao apologized with a smile.
"Shut up!" Shang Xufeng roared, his anger still raging.
Once his subordinates left, Shang Xufeng's expression became even more unsightly. He stared at her with a fierce and menacing look.
"Mr. Feng, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ruin your mood," Qiuling Yao felt she had overreacted, making a kiss seem like a big deal.
"Stop sulking like I'm forcing you," he glared at her, clearly unhappy.
"Isn't that the case?" she answered in her heart, but her mouth said something else, "I know you're helping me, Mr. Feng."
"If you don't want to marry me, just say so. I won't force you," he said.
"Just say so, won't force you?"
He had been so generous with her the other night, and today he had proposed to her on television. If she still believed him today, she would think she was a bit stupid.
"If Mr. Feng doesn't want to marry, just say so, and I'll leave immediately," she replied, echoing his words back to him.
"Go to the window and look down," Shang Xufeng glanced at her, found a seat, crossed his legs, and looked relaxed.
Following his instructions, Qiuling Yao went to the window and looked down. Reporters had surrounded the exit downstairs, making it impassable.
This was forcing her into a dead end; apart from registering with him, she had no other choice.
Resigned to her fate, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, telling herself repeatedly that it was just getting married, and marrying anyone was the same. Besides, marrying Shang Xufeng wasn't bad; although he was outrageously arrogant and domineering, he had a good-looking appearance, which was pleasing to the eye.
When she opened her eyes again, her gaze was calm, as if nothing mattered anymore. She said, "I want to ask you a question, and I hope you'll answer seriously."
"Just ask," he seemed impatient.
"Why do you have to register with me?" This was the part she couldn't understand. Shang Xufeng didn't need to marry a woman just to play with her.
"Because I'm happy," he gave a simple answer, as straightforward as could be.
