My Dangerous Billionaire Husband Chapter 1557 - If Apologies Worked

Ou Xuyan's lip corner split once more. Enraged beyond measure, she couldn't contain herself any longer. "Lu Fan, how could you be so pathetic? What kind of skill is it to force yourself on a woman? You don’t even know the basics of kissing. I find you utterly repulsive!"

Lu Fan’s complexion darkened. A man’s pride is wounded when the woman he loves despises him, and this certainly stung his self-esteem. Clenching his jaw, he attempted to rein in his frustration. "I'll try again."

Try again? What utter nonsense!

Ou Xuyan delivered a kick with her slender leg. Lu Fan swiftly retreated a few steps. He observed the woman, who had already dismounted the bed. With a cold snort, she departed the room.

Lu Fan was left speechless.

He collapsed back onto the bed in vexation. Damn it. While he might not possess the same business acumen as his elder brother, he had been considered gifted and intelligent from a young age. Yet, when it came to kissing, he seemed to be woefully lacking.

It must be a matter of insufficient experience; he simply needed more practice!

At that very moment, a woman’s voice echoed from outside, "Hey, are you hungry? If you are, come out for dinner!"

Lu Fan emerged from his thoughts and went out.

...

The pair took their seats at the dining table for dinner. Lu Fan savored a spoonful of porridge; it was thick and rich, the savory flavor of the wild vegetables undeniably delicious.

"Did you prepare this?" he inquired.

"Who else would have? Is there anyone else at home besides me?"

Lu Fan surveyed her from head to toe with a look of mild disbelief. "It seems the Sun has risen from the West today. You can actually make porridge."

Ou Xuyan instantly bristled, "What is that supposed to mean? Haven't you eaten my egg fried rice before? You clearly enjoyed it immensely, yet you still dare to insult me? Hmph, I don't have many advantages, barring the fact that I'm a bit sharper. Is there something wrong with that? Am I inconveniencing you?"

Lu Fan found himself unable to respond.

This particular conversation concluded on a sour note, and the two quietly finished their meal.

Ou Xuyan proceeded to wash the dishes, while Lu Fan retreated to the bathroom for a shower. He felt his spirits reviving, his energy fully restored.

Shortly after his shower, Ou Xuyan entered. Their eyes met briefly before they both looked away simultaneously. With a dismissive snort, Ou Xuyan entered the bathroom for her shower, leaving Lu Fan to recline on the bed.

Ten minutes later, Ou Xuyan emerged. She cast a glance at the man on the bed, who was engrossed in reading a book.

He knows how to read too?

He’s just a martial artist who only knows how to act cultured!

Ou Xuyan retrieved another quilt from downstairs, intending to make a bed on the floor.

"Hey, ugly girl, what are you doing?"

"Don't you have eyes? You sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor. You're clearly getting all the benefits here!"

"Absolutely not! It's quite cold these days, and you'll surely catch a cold sleeping on the floor. I have too many important matters to attend to; I don't have the time to nurse you back to health!"

"Who asked you to take care... Ah!" Ou Xuyan found herself pinned to the bed by a powerful arm.

She attempted to break free, but Lu Fan held her down firmly. Gazing at her delicate features, he declared, "I won't touch you. Sleep peacefully."

The mention of such matters prompted Ou Xuyan to quickly push him away. She turned her back to him, preparing to sleep. The room soon settled into a quiet ambiance.

Lu Fan laced his hands behind his head and spoke, "I apologize for last night. I was a bit impulsive."

"What good is an apology? If apologies were effective, why would they even need special forces soldiers like you? You would have been out of a job long ago!"

"Ugly girl, we are already married. Sooner or later, you will be mine. I was merely asserting my rights. Don't tell me you're still thinking about Ah Ding? You'd best abandon that idea. As long as I draw breath, I will never permit you to betray me."

Betray? Why did his words sound so incredibly unpleasant?
