Chapter 11 You Are The Most Suitable

• Qi Yushi was startled - talk? What does he want me to talk about?
• She had an idea of what he meant. “Is this about Cen Ziming?” Qi Yushi cautiously clarified.
• She remembered the look of displeasure on his face the moment they left the restaurant, shortly after the altercation with Cen Ziming and Tao Yuhan.
• Zhan Senyu confirmed curtly.
• Qi Yushi gnawed her bottom lip nervously - should I tell him? Well - I’m technically his wife now, he isn’t just some random person to me. He deserves a proper explanation. It’s only right.
• His expression was concealed in the darkness - somehow, that gave her the courage to reopen old wounds and confront the past.
• “Alright, I’ll tell you...but before I do, I want to thank you for helping me. I’m sorry that I got you involved in this mess.” Qi Yushi said.
• “I should have told you earlier, before we went through the whole process...but...I didn’t know how to tell you back then...because even I am confused about what had happened…”
• Qi Yushi inhaled sharply before she started. “Cen Ziming...he used to be my boyfriend. We were together for five years. He supported me a lot financially because I was still schooling back then - but, but don’t worry! I’ve already paid off my debts to him last year!”
• “One year ago, I was away for several months filming at a mountainous area...due to the bad signal reception there, I barely contacted him. When I returned...somehow, he had forgotten me. And to make matters worse...he got together with Tao Yuhan…”
• “I was heartbroken...but gradually, I began to let it go...after all, they’re already engaged, there’s nothing I can do about it...today was just an unfortunate encounter.”
• Qi Yushi’s voice shrank as she went on - she was terrified to see how Zhan Senyu would react to her ugly past.
• If he wishes to break our deal now, I completely understand...just that...the necklace...
• “Did you love him?” Zhan Senyu suddenly spoke into the darkness.
• Qi Yushi winced. “Well, he was my first love, after all, so naturally I did...but...it doesn’t matter anymore. He’s no longer the person I used to know. It’s just that...I don’t know why…”
• Upon hearing her confession, Zhan Senyu’s face hardened - no man likes hearing about his woman talk about her past lover.
• Silence.
• “You are my wife now.” Zhan Senyu stoically stated.
• Looks like Zhan Senyu isn’t taking the matter with Cen Ziming lightly after all...I must have embarrassed him so much today at the restaurant...I’m in big trouble...
• With her heavy heart, Qi Yushi started: “If you wish to end the deal...I…”
• She stepped forward unconsciously as she spoke - only to bump into a warm body.
• Pressed against his chest, she heard his heart beating fervently under the material of his shirt.
• Qi Yushi widened her eyes - wasn’t he by the window? When did he get here?
• “When did I say that I wanted to end the deal? Hmm?”
• His sonorous voice had a magnetic element to it, so alluring that it seemed to pull her closer - the darkness made him sound even more bewitching and intoxicating.
• Qi Yushi panicked a little. “I...I am not suitable to be your wife.”
• Her soft breath tickled his chest, spreading hotly like a fresh fragrance all over his front.
• His strong hands caressed her waist as he refuted: “No, you are the perfect wife for me.”
• There was a hint of gentleness in his cold voice.
• “Why?” Qi Yushi gasped, feeling his heat pulsing from his large hands.
• “I believe that Mr Yan had mentioned this to you before - I detest interacting with women. It’s so severe that I feel these sentiments of hatred just by being within close proximity of women - but, for some reason, you are the only exception.”
• His words rang in her ears as she felt his hands explore the area around her waist.
• “If I were to replace you with another woman, do you think my family would believe me if I tell them that I have taken her as my wife instead of you when they know well about my typical resistance towards women?”
• He lowered his head to nuzzle her forehead, his hot, masculine scent driving her slightly giddy as he did. Her face flushed red, Qi Yushi pressed her lithe hands against his chest and lightly pushed him away. “Alright, alright, I get it...you...you should have an early night.”
• She then proceeded to turn away and scamper off.
• Zhan Senyu did not make a move to stop her.
• He felt arousal spread to his nether regions as he mused about the inexplicable things that he desired to do to her - he feared that should he touch just once more, he would not be able to hold himself back.
• In actual fact, Zhan Senyu had long known about the things that Qi Yushi had just told him - he had long known even about things concerning her that she had not told him. Everything about her - he had long checked and known.
• After all, how could he register a marriage with a woman without knowing anything about her?
• Aside from not resenting her touch, it was what he found out about Qi Yushi that made him decide that she was the most suitable candidate to be his wife.
• She appealed to him in every way.
• It was strange - ever since that incident ten years ago, he had been adverse to letting women close to him. Even the medical specialists he had seen in the United States of America had been unable to diagnose him - they told him that he may forever be incurable.
• Then I met her.
• Her touch, her softness, her sweet smell...
• In the eyes of everyone, he was the stoic, indifferent prince of a gigantic business empire; but in front of her, he felt like there was an irresistible force of attraction pulling him towards her.
• In the darkness, he felt his sense heighten as he captured her sweet, alluring scent more powerfully than usual.
• His overpowering feelings did not seem to be subsiding any sooner.
• “Damn it.”
• He swore in the darkness.
• Qi Yushi darted straight back into her room and dove into the bed, hiding under the blanket - she could still hear her heart pounding madly.
• She had always known that Zhan Senyu oozed sex appeal - what she did not expect was that he could do the same even when she could not see his face. His voice, his hands...they were all so alluring. There was nothing she could do to still her wild heart.
• She did not dare to acknowledge the feelings for him that were slowly sprouting in her heart.
• I don’t need a romantic relationship - I’ve been hurt badly enough by Cen Ziming. I just want to live a good life by myself...like I’d promised my mother.
• I won’t fall for Zhan Senyu...like he said, he has an illness. He would never have “married” me otherwise.
• Once everything is over, let it be done for good...after all, we’re not destined for each other.
• All I need to do is take back mother’s necklace...and get even with that wretched couple!
• Calming herself, Qi Yushi set her alarm for work tomorrow before succumbing to slumber...
