The two of them returned home one after the other.
After entering the house, Kong Zhao greeted Cheng Fang in a good mood before humming a song as she went to the balcony to collect her air-dried clothes. Cheng Fang was furious.
He clenched his fists as he controlled his emotions. He stood in the living room as he stared at Kong Zhao's back with an impassive expression. "You said you had something on and stood me up. What is it?"
Kong Zhao paused in the midst of putting away her clothes. If Cheng Fang knew that she had stood him up to treat someone else to a meal, he would definitely be very angry. Hence, she said vaguely, "It's nothing serious. It's just that something unexpected came up and delayed things."
Since she felt guilty, Kong Zhao didn't dare to look into Cheng Fang's eyes. She took her clothes and was about to return to her room when Cheng Fang pulled her hand and pressed her onto the sofa.
Cheng Fang's eyes were filled with anger. He had one leg on the ground and knelt on the sofa with the other. He propped his arms on both sides of the sofa and trapped Kong Zhao within.
At this moment, Kong Zhao had already sensed that something was wrong with Cheng Fang. She licked her lips nervously and forced a smile. "What's wrong? Are you unhappy today?"
Cheng Fang sneered. "Do you care if I'm happy or not?"
Kong Zhao was a little stunned by Cheng Fang's question. "I know it's wrong for me to stand you up. Order whatever you want tomorrow."
Seeing that Kong Zhao still couldn't get the point, Cheng Fang gritted his teeth in anger. "Why didn't you reply to my message?"
Kong Zhao was stunned. She thought of the phone that had been in her bag and explained, "The phone was in my bag. I haven't had time to look at it yet."
Cheng Fang bent down and closed the distance between the two of them. Their breaths intertwined, and there was nowhere to hide the emotions in each other's eyes.
Cheng Fang's gaze was gloomy and piercing, making Kong Zhao nervous. Her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Just as Kong Zhao's heart was pounding, Cheng Fang said, "Were you too busy to check your phone, or were you having too good of a time with another man and couldn't be bothered to check?"
When Kong Zhao heard this, she knew that the matter had been exposed. The current Cheng Fang made her feel a sense of danger, so she hurriedly explained, "No… I can explain. Didn't I tell you before that my senior brother helped me prove my innocence? That's why I got the opportunity for the second interview with the CF. I didn't have the time to treat him to a meal before, but we happened to meet last night, so…"
Cheng Fang's expression was very ugly. When he thought about how he had done so much for her but couldn't compare to someone who only said a few good words for her, his anger surged. He said with anger and jealousy, "You stood me up just because someone else said a few words?"
Cheng Fang's gaze became increasingly sharper. Kong Zhao shrunk her body and leaned towards the sofa to put some distance between the two of them. At the same time, she explained, "It's mainly because I agreed to it more than half a month ago and happened to bump into him. I was too embarrassed to keep delaying…"
Not only did Kong Zhao's explanation not appease Cheng Fang, but it also made him even angrier. "Others can't be delayed, but I can? Am I that unimportant to you?!"
Kong Zhao felt that the more she explained, the worser she made things. She frowned anxiously as she said, "That's not what I meant…"
However, before she could finish speaking, Cheng Fang pinched her chin and raised her face. "You're my wife now. Don't hang out with other men!"
Kong Zhao's guilt lessened when she heard the distrust in his words. Her eyes were filled with anger as she said, "You're suspecting me? Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person!"
Cheng Fang thought of the anger in Kong Zhao's eyes and his rationality returned a little.
He knew that Kong Zhao wasn't a promiscuous woman, but when he thought about how she had stood him up for another man, Cheng Fang felt upset.
He deliberately looked at Kong Zhao gloomily. "You better not be. Otherwise, I'll let you see the methods of a hooligan and watch what happens to that guy."
Kong Zhao saw the ruthlessness in Cheng Fang's eyes and thought of how fierce he was when he fought. She didn't dare to say anything to provoke him. After taking a deep breath, she said, "Don't mess around!"
Mess around?
Was she worried about that brat?
Cheng Fang gritted his teeth and said sarcastically, "Why? Are you worried just because I said so?"
Seeing that Cheng Fang was getting further and further off tangent, Kong Zhao reached out and pushed the man hard to escape. "I can't be bothered to argue with you. Move aside, I want to get up!"
Cheng Fang finally realized that Kong Zhao wasn't a sweet talker.
Anger overwhelmed him. He pressed down on the small hand on his chest and leaned forward to kiss her, stopping her from saying anything.
Everything fell silent.
