Author:?Su Zhishui?MACHINE TRANSLATION
Xia Jinqi’s face flushed red. She took a deep breath and raised her hand, ready to give him a slap She also scolded him, [ beast! Indecent! Shameless! ]
However, before her hand landed, the man in front of her had already said, “your mother pinched you, right? She also hit you on the face. Stepmother? ”
Xia Jinqi said, “Huh? ”
She followed Yan Jun’s line of sight and indeed saw a bruised scar.
So, he lifted his skirt just to see these scars?
…
It’s a little awkward. She thought… …
AHEM!
Suddenly felt a rush of hot air on the mind, Xia Jinqi slap away his hand, “I said it’s none of your business! ”
Her family business, she didn’t want anyone to know.

Especially him.
Her refusal and agitation seemed to him more like a rage of humiliation.
I can see she’s very resistant to talking about the origin of these injuries.
Well, he’s not interested in her anyway, so why should he care?
But… …
Xiu Xiu’s brows were tightly knitted. He stared at her with a cold gaze, like the ICICLES hanging under the eaves in winter, piercing straight into his heart.
He couldn’t let go of her and left in a carefree manner.
“Why didn’t you resist? ”
“because she gave birth to me. ” This time, Xia Jinqi wasn’t frightened by the powerful aura that burst out from his body. Instead, she raised her chin slightly and sneered.
She used to think that she wasn’t her biological child. Otherwise, why would she receive such treatment?
But unfortunately, she was indeed her parents’biological child. It was the real deal.
The bruises on her body had been a common occurrence in the past ten years.
She tried to resist and escape, but in the end, she was caught and beaten again.
She tried to hate them, but they were her parents who gave her life. She could not hate them.
She could not escape, she could not hide.
What could she do?
Until one day, when the Yan family paid a visit to her house, their words revealed their intention to marry the Xia family.
When she heard the news, she did not have the slightest struggle in her heart. She agreed immediately.
Just because she wanted to get married, it would at least allow her to leave that suffocating home.
Yan Jun stared at the sorrowful and beautiful smile on her face, and his heart trembled.
He could almost see the loneliest loneliness and the most helpless pain in the depths of her heart from her large, watery eyes.
However, she did not cry or make a fuss. She just had to smile so tenaciously… …
His eyes flickered slightly. He could no longer understand the woman in front of him.
“So, you want to use this marriage to escape that home? ”
Her clear voice and tone were slightly raised, as cold as an ice cellar.
Xia Jinqi lowered her head and didn’t speak. Her throat was tight… …
This man was more incisive and wise than she had imagined. Could he see through her thoughts at a glance?
Her silence was undoubtedly a direct answer to Yan Jun..
His thin lips curved and he smiled wantonly. “Xia Jinqi, what do you take marriage for? ”
His sharp tone was like a sharp knife piercing into the heart.
“I… ” Xia Jinqi bit her lower lip and her hands clenched into fists. “Left and right is just a transaction. Why do you have to make it so complicated? You get what you want, and I get what I want. Isn’t that good? ”
“I get what I want… ” Yan Jun murmured her words and lowered his eyes to sneer. “Do you know what I want? ”
“What? ” Xia Jinqi subconsciously asked back. She looked up at him.
Unexpectedly, he pressed his body down again, almost touching her forehead. “What I want, you can’t afford it. ”
