Chapter 5

You can't just skip meals.

Her Physique was already terrible, so without nutritional supplements, how could she keep up with his pace?

Seeing Xu Hao pick out food for her, Su Wanqiu was somewhat flustered and flattered…

She apprehensively picked up her chopsticks and poked at the rice in her bowl.

"Wanqiu… how long have we been married?"

In the quiet living room, with only the sounds of eating, Xu Hao suddenly asked.

Su Wanqiu didn't quite understand why, but she still answered.

"Fifteen years."

"So it has unconsciously been this long…"

Xu Hao sighed with emotion.

In his heart, he understood clearly; having been abused by him for so many years, no wonder her favorability was so deeply negative.

Su Wanqiu felt that something was very wrong.

Today's Xu Hao gave her an eerie feeling.

She didn't know why he was suddenly being nice to her, and what did it mean by asking how many years they had been married?

Could it be…

A flash of lightning cut across her mind.

Su Wanqiu's delicate body trembled.

She thought of Xu Hao's previous wife.

That woman who had given birth to eight children for Xu Hao had passed away from cancer…

After getting along for so many years, she had also vaguely sensed something abnormal.

When the youngest child was three years old, shortly after she married over, the child was trafficked.

She didn't know what they looked like now.

However… judging from the appearances of several daughters, they had no relation to Xu Hao whatsoever.

Coupled with the fact that from the beginning to the end, Xu Hao had never touched her…

Su Wanqiu guessed.

These children of Xu Hao's were very likely not his; there was something wrong with him in that aspect.

She had never told anyone this thought and had always hidden it deep in her heart.

If Xu Hao were to find out…

Su Wanqiu shuddered slightly.

Thinking that Xu Hao's ex-wife had died so suddenly.

They said she had cancer, but who knew what the truth was?

Knowing Xu Hao's true face, disguising murder as an accident was something he was definitely capable of doing…

Could it be… was Xu Hao going to silence her by killing her?

Thinking of this possible scenario, Su Wanqiu's face instantly turned pale, and her delicate body trembled endlessly.

[Ding… Su Wanqiu feels panicked and uneasy towards you, Emotion Points +666…]

"Hmm?"

Xu Hao just saw that the atmosphere was a bit stiff and wanted to make small talk to ease it.

Why did it instead make her even more scared?

Given the current situation—

Wanting to develop mutual affection and achieve the ultimate enjoyment of water and milk blending where "you are in me, and I am in you" was impossible…

Even if it couldn't be "willing on both sides", shouldn't there at least be some interaction?

Otherwise, what difference is there from a corpse?

Xu Hao couldn't figure out why she was scared. Seeing the red wine on the side, he opened it and poured a glass for each of them.

"For a candlelight dinner, not drinking red wine would be too much of a waste…"

Putting down the wine bottle, Xu Hao picked up his glass and smiled as he raised a toast to Su Wanqiu.

"Wanqiu, let's be romantic for once too."

The more Su Wanqiu thought about it, the more scared she became.

But she couldn't ignore Xu Hao's words, so she had no choice but to pick up her glass and clink it.

Seeing Xu Hao tilt his head and finish it in one gulp, she only dared to drink her wine…

…

The meal ended. Xu Hao picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth.

As expected of a rich person's life, it was damn too extravagant.

A whole table full of food, and they barely ate much…

Now that he was full and well-fed, it was time to do something meaningful.

Xu Hao's gaze fell upon Su Wanqiu.

Sensing Xu Hao's gaze, Su Wanqiu's hand trembled, and she almost cried.

It was really because Xu Hao's series of actions today were too eerie…

Making her feel like it was a death row meal, as if this was her last meal.

[Ding… Su Wanqiu harbors fear towards you, Emotion Points +888…]

Ah, this?

Turns out all that chatting just now was for nothing, and the wine was drunk in vain.

I asked you to relax your mood, why did you become even more scared?

However, no matter what, today his temper was blazing.

It was impossible to let go of the fat sheep delivered to his mouth…

Su Wanqiu was stunned in place and wouldn't even eat her food. How could that do?

Xu Hao felt it necessary to help out, so he moved his body and sat down next to her.

He picked up his chopsticks and picked a piece of fish meat.

"Come… Wanqiu, this is what you like to eat… uh… what was it that you liked to eat again?"

This was awkward.

After the two of them got married, they had never eaten a meal together.

He really didn't know what the other party liked to eat…

Su Wanqiu felt fear in her heart.

Facing the dishes that Xu Hao continuously clipped into her bowl, she could only helplessly eat them in small bites.

Finally, the fear in her heart reached its peak, and she put down her chopsticks and burst into tears.

"President Xu, I was wrong. I won't tell anyone else your secret, please don't kill me, okay?"

?????

Xu Hao was filled with question marks.

The hell, I'm treating you so well, and you actually think I want to kill you?

Just how big of a psychological shadow had he left on her?

Immediately after, Xu Hao became puzzled again.

"What secret of mine do you know?"

Su Wanqiu raised her head, her tear-stained pretty face making one feel deeply pitying…

Opening her mouth, she found it somewhat hard to articulate.

Seeing Xu Hao's expression turn serious, Su Wanqiu panicked in her heart and blurted out.

"You're impotent in that aspect, and none of those children are yours…"

As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it and hurriedly tried to remedy it.

"Rest assured, even if beaten to death, I will never speak of this matter. Please let me go, okay?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Hao didn't get angry, but instead asked with a smile.

"Who told you I'm impotent in that aspect?"

Su Wanqiu was completely dumbfounded.
