Chapter 77 Draw a Clear Line Between Them (2)
Ling Mohan stared at Qin Shu’s overly calm and somewhat pale face and lightly tapped her forehead. His tone was filled with the usual tyranny, “You’re stubborn! I told you before that you’re not allowed to joke around with your own health, did you just turn a deaf ear to that?”
“No,” Qin Shu said indifferently.
This made Ling Mohan feel as if he had vented his anger towards the cotton. He pinched Qin Shu’s small chin with his rough thumb and index finger and knitted his eyebrows. “Are you unhappy with my criticism? Don’t show me the long face and speak properly.”
This time, his tone was not only domineering, but was also faintly mixed with a hint of pamper, as if he could do nothing about her.
Indeed, every time Qin Shu angered Ling Mohan to the point that he flew into a rage, he still didn’t have the heart to hurt her even a little. He couldn’t bear to make her cry, couldn’t bear to hurt her, and could only scare her verbally.
However, he did not know that Qin Shu hated being verbally compelled by other people the most. This made her feel that she was not respected. She was like a puppet that had lost its self. She was at the mercy of the other party and could only rely on him in the end.
What made Qin Shu feel ironic was that this bastard kept saying that she was his woman and his wife, but who would always put on a high and mighty posture to order or command his wife?
Don’t do this, don’t do that, even if when she said something that made him unhappy, she had to change. To put it realistically, what’s the difference between her and a slave in his eyes?
Did he really respect her as his wife in his heart?
In Qin Shu’s cognition, husband and wife should respect each other and cherish each other like her parents did. Because they loved each other deeply, they understood and tolerated each other instead of blindly ordering the other to adopt the expected kind of personality.
If it had to be like that, he’d better spend money to find an obedient servant.
Right now, when facing Ling Mohan, Qin Shu had the feeling of not being respected and cherished. In front of this domineering man, all her resistance seemed to be a joke, which could easily be suppressed by the other party.
For example, with the simple one sentence that “behave yourself”, Qin Shu was defeated.
What was her identity?
At first, Qin Shu obediently took herself as a partner of Ling Mohan. Later, Ling Mohan emphasized again and again that she was his woman, giving her a sense of security when she was in the car accident, and taking care of her when she was suffering from menstrual pain. Qin Shu gradually inclined towards the identity as his wife in her heart.
But now, Qin Shu realized clearly that she was not Ling Mohan’s wife, and the other party did not need her.
What did he need?
Probably all men in the world were the same as Qi Mingran. They needed obedient and sensible women. Moreover, a strong and domineering man like Ling Mohan was used to giving orders and making others obey him. How could he tolerate Qin Shu’s disobedience!
So now, Qin Shu was punished.
Seeing that Qin Shu was silent again and seemed to be thinking about something with her eyes down, Ling Mohan felt depressed in his heart and could only force her to look at him. “What kind of crooked ideas are you having on your mind?”
What kind of crooked ideas could she have? She was just trying to see herself as she was.
Thinking through this, Qin Shu did not feel awkward anymore. She suddenly blinked at him and smiled. “Nothing, I’m just a little tired. Please allow me to rest for a while, Colonel.”
Ling Mohan stared at her smile. Her smile was clearly as beautiful as usual, but he felt an inexplicable sense of alienation. It was as if Qin Shu would leave him in the next second.
This goblin really knew how to torture people!
Ling Mohan stretched out his long arm and pulled Qin Shu into his embrace with seemingly fierce but actually gentle movements. For once in a blue moon, he said in a soft tone, “Are you still mad at me? No outsiders are here now. You can make a scene however you want, but don’t show me the long face.”
He couldn’t stand Qin Shu’s calm and indifferent attitude she held towards him just now.
Qin Shu leaned her upper body against his sturdy chest and listened to the other party’s powerful heartbeat. She used to feel very safe in this way, but now she felt it was only an indescribable mockery.
The more uncomfortable she felt in her heart, the brighter she smiled and the less she would let him see her through.
She said in a cheerful voice as if she was joking, “How would I dare to make a scene in front of you, Colonel? I promise that I will be a good subordinate in the future, and I will not disgrace you!”
What she said made sense, but why did it sound so strange?
Ling Mohan frowned slightly and lowered his eyes to look at the woman in his arms who was smiling brightly. She had bright eyes and bright teeth. Her pink lips added a touch of vitality to her slightly pale face, making her look even more attractive.
Just as he was about to have a good taste of her, his phone suddenly rang and sounded particularly abrupt in the small infirmary room.
Ling Mohan could only let go of Qin Shu discontentedly and took out his phone from his pocket.
Qin Shu inadvertently glanced at his screen and saw the name on it. Her body stiffened slightly for a moment,
On his mobile phone screen: Nanya
Oh, so that’s how Ling Mohan called the lady of ice. It sounded very respectful to the other party, unlike calling her Little Qin Shu every time.
Little Qin Shu sounded intimate, but in fact, he didn’t take her seriously. It sounded like he called her as a pet cat or dog at home.
Ling Mohan did not hide anything from Qin Shu and picked up the phone in front of her.
Qin Shu didn’t know what Ji Nanya said on the other end of the phone, but Ling Mohan actually smiled and said, “I like it very much. This should be the work of that high-ranking ordnance master Griff from R Country, right?”
Qin Shu guessed that Ji Nanya should be asking him how he liked the Swiss army knife she gave him as a gift.
She looked at the smiling curve on Ling Mohan’s thin lips. From an appreciative point of view, it turned out that this man also had such a beautiful and tender smile. It was not at all like his usual decisive and resolute manner.
A trace of sadness appeared in her heart, which seemed to be envy and jealousy.
However, Qin Shu also understood that she had never done anything for Ling Mohan. She could at most cook a meal for him. At other times, the two of them were quarreling and arguing with each other.
Who would like a person who specifically went against them? If so, wouldn’t those people be too ill?
Qin Shu did not listen to what Ling Mohan was talking about with Ji Nanya anymore. She simply lay down and covered her head with a quilt, automatically shielding everything he said. It was as if in this way she could pretend that she did not care.
Not long after, a large hand reached over and pulled open the quilt above her head. At the same time, the man’s low and deep voice sounded, “Are you stupid? You’re suffocating yourself to death.”
Qin Shu felt aggrieved in her heart and pulled up the quilt to cover her head again.
Ling Mohan raised his eyebrows, bent over and pulled the quilt open. He pinched her small face and teased, “Are you really making a scene?”
She didn’t dare to make a scene, okay?!
Qin Shu was annoyed, and the words that Ling Mohan said to Ji Nanya kept echoing in her ears, “I like it very much.”
He must also like the person who gave him the gift.
She knew that she did not have the qualifications to be angry and jealous, but Qin Shu was just uncomfortable in her heart. The depressed, aggrieved and sad emotions surged up all at once but were ruthlessly suppressed by her. In the end, she turned them into a smile as if nothing had happened.
“What’s there to make a scene about? I’m your secretary, so I don’t dare to be unreasonable.” She thought she was very tactful to say that, but in fact, it didn’t sound the same in Ling Mohan’s ears.
What happened to this little woman today? Her tone was so weird that Ling Mohan couldn’t help but feel anxious in his heart.
He knew that Qin Shu didn’t seem to care about anything, but she was born to have a proud personality. She was scolded so severely by him on the training ground, so she was probably still mad at him about that at this moment!
However, according to Ling Mohan’s personality, he could not humbly apologize for such a thing either.
He clenched his fists at his lips, cleared his throat, and whispered in Qin Shu’s ear, “Don’t be angry now. Otherwise, how do you want me to explain myself to those soldiers?”
Another “don’t.”
Qin Shu thought to herself, he told her not to do this, and not to do that, so she should shut up, lest she would speak nonsense again and disturb the morale of the army.
As a result, she pursed her lips and remained silent, with her delicate eyebrows faintly revealing a kind of stubbornness.
Ling Mohan couldn’t help but frown. Why was this woman so difficult to coax!
The devil commander gave up, and he simply came straight to the point—he kissed Qin Shu’s lips with his own thin lips.
Every cell in Ling Mohan’s body shouted wildly.
However, Qin Shu seemed to be much calmer towards this crazy lingering of kisses. She wouldn’t allow herself to fall into it again.
“I’m tired.” She tilted her head to hide from the intimate touch between their lips, and there was even a faint and alienated smile on her face. “Lord Colonel, I want to have a good rest, or else I’m afraid I won’t be able to do my secretarial work in the afternoon.”
She deliberately emphasized the words “good rest.”
The latter sentence was like a basin of cold water, instantly damping down Ling Mohan’s fiery heart.
“Little Qin Shu!” He finally got angry and stared fiercely at Qin Shu. There was actually a faint sense of grievance in his eyes, just like a child who was enraged by embarrassment because he didn’t get a candy.
Qin Shu remained unmoved, her lips curled into a smile, and they looked at each other.
Ling Mohan was so angry that he wished he could strangle this troublesome goblin to death.
But how could he have the heart to make a move? If Little Qin Shu were to be gone, where would he go to find another identical one?
Thus, Ling Mohan could only temporarily suppress the anger and stare at her for a long time. Suddenly, he said in a deep voice, “I’ll let you rest after the check.”
Check what?
Qin Shu was confused. Before she could figure it out, the man already pulled away the quilt and extended his evil claws towards her military trousers.
“Hey, stop!” Now Qin Shu could not maintain her composure. She shouted anxiously and tightened her grip on her trousers with both hands.
“Don’t move!” Ling Mohan shouted and quickly took off her trousers. His gaze landed on the side of her right leg, and his expression immediately sank.
A few obvious bruises appeared on her white and tender thigh. He could tell at a glance that she had forcefully pinched herself and caused that!
The more Ling Mohan looked at the bruises, the more dazzling he felt. Anger surged in his eyes and he roared, “You still dare to say that you didn’t abuse yourself! Are you out of your mind? Why did you pinch your own thigh?”
He believed that he saw Qin Shu pinch her thigh on the training ground. This damn woman even said she was wiping the sweat off her hand. At the thought of this, he became even angrier. “How dare you lie to me?”
He knew that nine of the ten sentences Qin Shu said were fake!
Seeing that Ling Mohan was so angry, Qin Shu instead calmly said, “It’s my own body, I’ll pinch it whenever I want. What does it have to do with you?”
In an instant, the room was as quiet as hell!
