My Nonhuman Husband Is Possessive - Chapter 3

Jiang Yan studied my face. Then, displaying excellent judgment, he went off to work while “trembling in fear.”

Satisfied, I saw him out as usual. As usual, I kissed his cheek, and as usual, I watched until his car disappeared from view.

I was about to go back inside for a nap when I noticed the wealthy woman next door playing with her child.

Our eyes met.

She noticed the suggestive marks below my neck, then looked at my flat stomach with the exasperation of someone watching another person waste her advantages.

“Ms. Shi, if I remember right, you’ve been married for three years, haven’t you?”

“Why is there still no news? Your husband is a prominent man, young and handsome. Plenty of girls out there have their eyes on him, and what man doesn’t want children? You’d better hurry.”

I paused.

Was she warning me that he might cheat?

But Jiang Yan could never cheat. To his people, a mate could only be replaced after death—after even the soul had dispersed.

Besides, it wasn’t that I didn’t want a baby. Jiang Yan was the one who refused to let me have one!

I had never objected to having a child. He was the one who resisted. Whenever I brought it up, he quietly changed the subject and refused to discuss it. Every Harmony Day, he also used his species’ own contraceptive method.

He wouldn’t even give me a child.

Perhaps that was what it meant not to love me.

No wonder his affection score was always zero. No wonder my mission had failed.

Dejected, I lowered my eyes. “You don’t understand. It’s a long story. Anyway, I’ve tried!”

“You’ve already tried?”

The woman studied my face. Whatever scenario she imagined made her say, “You’re so beautiful. How could he possibly resist giving you one? Have you two been checked? Maybe he’s impotent?”

Jiang Yan, impotent?

My waist was still weak right now.

I was about to argue when she handed her child to the nanny, rushed forward in great excitement, and grabbed my hand.

“Girl, I know all about men who can’t perform. Girls help girls—I know how you can have a baby!”

Before I’d recovered, she whisked me off to the largest nightclub in South City.

By the time I came to my senses, two tall, long-legged male hosts in revealing clothes were already sitting beside me, competing to feed me grapes held between their teeth.

“Want a taste, pretty lady?”

This was bad!

I immediately thought of my hot-tempered husband. Jiang Yan had died merely from dreaming that someone hit on me. What would happen if he saw this in real life?

I sprang up to make my escape.

But the wealthy woman, with three male hosts on her left and four on her right, hooked my ankle with the toe of her high heel.

“Ms. Shi, don’t you want to win your husband’s heart?”

“A child is the best way to tie a man down.”

She had struck precisely at my weakness.

I froze. I really did need to win Jiang Yan’s heart. My life depended on it.

With no other choice, I steeled myself and sat back down beside the two male hosts. Smiling, they once again leaned in to feed me grapes from their mouths.

I was still wondering how to politely explain that I wasn’t accustomed to anyone’s saliva except my husband’s when speak of the devil—

A commotion suddenly erupted outside the private room.

First came a waiter’s greeting. “Sir, who are you looking for?”

The next second, a familiar cool voice replied.

“The homewrecker.”

“I’m looking for the bastard seducing my wife…”
