Foster Son, Don’t Be So Crazy (46)

One night while they were lying on the bed together, about to go to sleep, Song Jia said, "I want to see Nian Shou."

Ever since the royal ball, she hadn't once seen him. Song Jia knew that her disappearance must have worried them, but she hesitated to tell Xiang Feng because he was close to the crown princess. As much as possible, she didn't want to drag them into this mess.

However, she currently had no idea of what was happening in the outside world. She needed to know if their plan had been smoothly going forward. Xiang Feng had truly kept her like a canary in a cage, only staying by his side, never going out.

But...this stalemate couldn't last forever.

She needed to talk to Nian Shou.

When Song Jia didn't hear his response, she repeated, "I want to see Nian..."

"Try speaking his name again!"

Xiang Feng sat up. He was obviously agitated, his teeth clenched tightly together. He looked at Song Jia with a ferocious look.

Ever since he was young, he always saw the two of them together. The one who could help her lift the painting was him, the one who could help her reach up for things was him, the one who was always mistaken for her husband was him...and right now, even when he had grown taller and stronger than Nian Shou, she still looked for him?

He was right in front of her!

Why did she have to look for somebody else?

Song Jia noticed his jealousy and hurriedly added, "I just needed to talk to him. That's all."

"What do you need to tell him that you can't talk to me about?" Xiang Feng glared at her. "Tell me!"

Song Jia pursed her lips. Of course she didn't dare to talk to him about it. No matter what, he was Princess Bai Xue's lover in her past life. If he knew that she was planning to usurp the crown princess from her throne...Song Jia was still uncertain as to whom he would choose between them. That uncertainty kept her from telling him about her plans.

Seeing that she had kept silent and didn't want to tell him, Xiang Feng became insecure. His chest felt stifled, like there was a huge rock pressing down on it.

"Do you like him?" he asked hoarsely. "Jia, do you like Nian Shou?"

It was as if he was stabbing himself with each word that came out of his mouth.

"In the past eight years, you said you didn't take a husband, but did anything happen between the two of you? Did he kiss you?"

The wound inside his chest didn't spill a single drop of blood, but it was more painful than anything he had ever experienced. Enduring the pain coursing through his veins, he asked her, "Did you sleep with him?"

Pa!

Song Jia slapped him.

She hit him with all of her strength, but Xiang Feng didn't flinch, his eyes still looking at her, waiting for her answer. It was her hand that hurt instead.

"Even if you're jealous, you should still be more conscious about how your careless words can hurt others!" she said coldly.

Xiang Feng's eyes didn't waver. Insistently, as if life depended on her answer, he asked, "Did he touch you?"

Song Jia was angry. She knew he was jealous, but jealousy should still have a bottom line!

"Touch me? What does it matter to you if he touched me?"

"It matters," he told her with a serious look. "Jia, it matters to me."

"Why? If he had touched me, would you feel disgusted?"

At her question, Xiang Feng's dark eyes that was filled with a sinister light rippled. His voice suddenly became gentle and firm, "I would never feel disgusted with Jia."

Song Jia stared at him. She felt as if she had been punching cotton, and all of her anger disappeared. If Xiang Feng had told her that he was disgusted by her because her body was no longer pure, she would cut off all ties with him.

After all, the son she raised should not be so chauvinistic.

Eh...something seemed to be wrong with that sentence.

Song Jia rubbed her nose and blamed the man in front of her for distorting her three views in life.

Song Jia did not acknowledge that to begin with, her three views in life were already distorted because of her salary.

Xiang Feng was still hung up over her answer and did not let her get distracted.

"Did he touch you?"

Song Jia sighed, "No, he didn't touch me. I never slept with him, and I never kissed him either."

Xiang Feng relaxed, and asked casually, "Did he hug you?"

"..."

Did he have to nitpick at everything?

Xiang Feng's eyes narrowed when she didn't reply.

"Did he hug you?" His voice became dangerously low.

Song Jia was exasperated. "He hugged me or I hugged him, I don't remember. The two of us spent eight years together, did you really think that we wouldn't have any physical contact?"

Instantly, Xiang Feng's body was filled with a bloodthirsty aura. "You lied to me! You said he didn't touch you!"

Song Jia was speechless. When he said 'touch', she thought he was referring to something else. Who would think that he meant its literal meaning?

"Xiang Feng, don't be unreasonable!"

He would even drink vinegar for a bit of skin contact?

"Where did he touch you when the two of you hugged?" he demanded. "Show me!"

Xiang Feng didn't wait for her reply, and quickly came to the important crux of the matter on his own.

"Your breasts touched his chest!"

Song Jia covered her face with her hands, and didn't reply.

"How tightly did he hug you? How close were the two of you together? How long was it?" Nonstop, he fired one question after another, his face growing murderous by the second. "Why aren't you answering? You must be thinking about his hug!"

Song Jia peeked between her splayed fingers to glare at him. Who was thinking about whose hug? He was too paranoid! She didn't even remember the last she and Nian Shou last hugged. Besides, he had already gotten married.

"Jia, was his hug really that good? You're still not answering!" Xiang Feng said angrily.

"Will you shut up already?" she said irritably. Song Jia finally lost her temper. "Whether I hugged him or not, what does it matter? You've been with your precious Xue for the last eight years too!"

Hmph, pot calling the kettle black, let's see if he could still continue speaking nonsense.

As she had hoped, Xiang Feng stopped.

"Are you jealous?" he asked her.

"Who said I'm jealous? I'm just saying that you're being a hypocrite," Song Jia honestly spoke what was in her mind.

Xiang Feng became angry again, his dark eyes nearly pitch-black. "Why aren't you jealous? Your husband was with another woman for eight years!"

"You're not my husband, and you're a man with a healthy body, so it's only natural for you to take action."

Song Jia thought herself to be wise, an experienced woman teaching a boy how to grow into adulthood, really a caring and benevolent mother.

...hm? It seemed that her thoughts became wrong again.

"You don't care if your man was touched by another woman?" Xiang Feng seethed. "Fine, I'll let the crown princess touch me, make sure not to go crying to me afterwards!"

Xiang Feng strode off with a terrifying expression, his body emitting a frosty chill. He slammed the bedroom door on his way out, the wall almost shaking from the force.

Song Jia was about to lay back on the bed when the door burst open. It collided against the wall with a loud bang.

Xiang Feng stood in the doorway, his breathing heavy, his dark eyes shooting daggers at her.

"Jia, your man was about to look for another woman! Do you even have legs? Why aren't you stopping me?!"

"..."

"Still not getting up? If you don't stop me, I'm really going to look for another woman!"

Song Jia didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said helplessly, "Xiang Feng..."

Since he didn't want her to meet Nian Shou, at least let her go to sleep, ah.

"Alright, I accept your refusal."

Xiang Feng went back to bed and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly. He nibbled her ears and said in dissatisfaction, "But Jia, the next time you want to stop me, don't just say my name. If I want to go look for another woman, just push me below you and take advantage of me."

"..."

"You can tie me to the bed too."

"..."

"Don't stop until I pass out," he added.

No longer wanting to listen to him, Song Jia covered her ears with her hands. If she had to do that kind of thing with him until he passed out...with his kind of stamina...

Really just seeking hardship.

Princess Bai Xue, this pervert is all yours, ah~
