"Didn't I tell you to rest?" Gong Beiyao's movements suddenly stiffened, and his tone turned icy cold.
Sheng Qianxia's words, ready at her lips, made a full circle and were swallowed back down; the atmosphere turned awkward again, and she immediately closed her eyes...
She truly regretted that she never learned her lesson; every time he treated her slightly nicely, she would forget all about the times he had hurt her.
They were no longer the people they once were; she should have recognized this fact long ago.
Love, all of it, was merely her wishful thinking. And she should never indulge in such fantasies again.
Maintaining a loveless relationship, guarding her own heart, and not trying to possess the entirety of him—perhaps that way, she wouldn't end up utterly defeated when this marriage finally ended, right?
Gong Beiyao felt the stiffness in her body and the tension in the air.
He had promised to be nicer to her, so why could he never control his temper?
