The anger he felt is unbearable and he wanted to repress it so bad by destroying something, but he knows that he needs to reign it as his wife will be hurt further due to his uncontrollable spiritual energy. He forced himself to look somewhere else to relax.Gao Lan Mei watched Wei Jiayi"s handsome face. She can see him gritting his teeth, he is clearly avoiding looking at her. His hands are clenching so much that she will not be surprised if his nails will leave mark on his palm.
Thinking the worst, placing a distance between them, "I"m sorry." She whispered silently, smiled ruefully at him.
Frowning, then peered at her, softly speaking, "What are you sorry for?" he asked, looking at her intently, "Next time, if you want to skin someone alive, let me do it. Your hands will get dirty." uttering while trying to swallow the lump on his throat.
Whenever he looks at her and seeing the scars, his heart felt uncontrollable. Whatever she wants to do to Li Huan or to anyone, he will just hide the body after just to make her happy.
She probably notices his conflicting emotions, so she decided to put the skin mask on.
"Do not wear that again!" He shrieked, forgetting to check his emotion. Wincing with his own outburst, "Use a different mask." He uttered again more composed, still trying to calm down.
Surprised but she still complied and nodded, she then pulls out the mask for Merchant Lan, "There. Better?" she asked. "I cleaned it first you know before I placed it on my face." for some reason
Wei Jiayi nodded, eyes staring at her softly "Satisfied?" He asked doing a quick glance to the lump on the bed. It"s very easy to guess who is under the bed sheet.
Smiling brightly, "Yeah. This is my..." Pausing a moment to think of the right word, "ah, souvenir." Raising the face skin near Wei Jiayi"s face that made him scowl.
Shaking his head then looked at her sadly, lifting his hand, intending to touch her, which she avoided. "Tsk. Tsk. No touching." She said a matter of fact.
Narrowing his eyes at her, "Six months." He compromised. How can he not touch her for 2 years? There is no way.
"One year and six months." Raising a brow at him, crossing her arms over her chest.
Releasing a deep breath, "Three months." His final offer.
Brows furrowed, "It should be more than your three months. It supposed to go up, up, up not down, down, down." To emphasize she even made a downward gesture using her hand.
"Three months." voice indicates finality, then adding, "I will give you Kai Kai, the black hound."
Her eyes brightened, but masked it immediately with a glare, then hissed under her breath. "One year." Gao Lan Mei starting to get annoyed again. This is supposed to be his punishment, and he is not supposed to be negotiating with it!
"Miss, why are you even talking to this man? Let me just bite him so we can be on our way." The maid who is sitting at the end of the bed, opened her mouth trying to scare Wei Jiayi with her sharp teethes like s.h.i.+ Renyu, a savage aquatic beast that eats mainly flesh and loves the smell of blood. She even made a chomping sound to emphasize her point.
Releasing a deep breath, "Behave Xiao s.h.i.+." then glared to Wei Jiayi, "You! I give up running away, but that does not mean we are going to get married soon. Its either you accept the one-year punishment, or I will fight you in all possible way I can, again." raising a chin as in defiance, challenging him not to agree.
