Cheap Husband - Chapter 3

Chapter 3

When we got home, there were still leftovers on the table.

The bowl was filled with meat he had saved for me.

Shen Yunshi stared at me without saying a word, and I finished eating with my heart in my throat.

He probably hadn’t heard what I said just now, right?

Auntie and I had been speaking so quietly.

I stole a glance at Shen Yunshi’s expression.

As he cleared away the bowls and chopsticks, comments drifted across my vision.

[The Female Supporting Character is so greedy. She’s even planning to sell the Male Lead and buy another one. Is she that desperate for a man?]

[It’s fine. This is the perfect chance for the Male Lead to run away and stop suffering in this poor, backwater place.]

[Female Lead Baby is about to come looking for him. Female Supporting Character, just wait to drop dead.]

What?

The female lead was coming?

I hurriedly snatched the bowl out of Shen Yunshi’s hands.

“I’ll wash them myself.”

I gave him a friendly smile, trying to farm some favorability points.

His gaze only turned colder.

I washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen.

When I returned to the main room, I saw through the crack in the door that he was bathing.

If this were any other time, I definitely would have barged in and teased him.

But now, better not. No need to rack up more hatred points.

I crouched outside the room and waited for him to finish.

Suddenly, the sound of water stopped.

A few seconds later, Shen Yunshi came out and pulled me inside.

His upper body was bare, with only a thin towel wrapped around his waist.

Too embarrassed to look at him, I turned my eyes away.

But he gripped my chin and forced my face back toward him, his hands signing so fast they were almost a blur.

“Why won’t you look at me? Are you tired of me?”

“Why don’t you want me anymore? Do you think I don’t serve you well enough?”

“I listened to you and wore those clothes, played with those things. Is that still not enough?”

“Was last time not long enough? Did I fail to satisfy you? That was because I’d just come down from the mountain after chopping firewood and was a little tired. Give me one more chance.”

It was such a long string of signs.

I only half understood it and was just about to ask him to slow down.

[I’m dying. The Male Lead is so anxious he’s about to start talking.]

[Female Supporting Character, stop watching. The Male Lead said he really hates you and wants you to let him go.]

[Believe the person above. She’s telling the truth.]

[True +1]

My eyes lowered in dejection.

“Shen Yunshi, don’t be anxious.”

“You’ll be able to leave very soon.”

“Once I’ve saved enough money, I’ll buy another strong one. I won’t cling to you anymore.”

“…”

Shen Yunshi’s hands stilled, and the light in his eyes sank into something dark and deep.

The chill that swept over me left me utterly confused.

All of a sudden, he yanked me into the wooden tub and made a gesture.

This time, I understood.

He said:

“Sit on me.”

“Th-that won’t-”

Before I could finish refusing, he sealed my mouth with his.

As if he were furious and needed to vent something.

Shen Yunshi was far rougher than usual.

My waist was aching, and I begged him to let us rest early.

He ignored me, lowered his head, and bit my neck.
