C1 Why Did He Come Back so Suddenly?

Chapter One: Why Did He Come Back So Suddenly?

It was well into the night, and Lu Yao seemed to be immersed in a dream. A man's heavy body pressed down on her, causing her to writhe uncontrollably from the heat.

Suddenly, he lowered his waist to occupy Lu Yao.

"Ugh…" Lu Yao's eyes snapped open from the pain.

She realized this wasn't a dream.

The man, who only came back once a week, was now pressing down onto her. Warm, yellow light from the bedside lamp illuminated his figure. His naked upper body was well-proportioned, and his long arms gave him a sense of beauty.

Lu Yao was stunned.

Wasn't today Saturday? Why was he back?

"You're awake?" The man's voice was deep but cold. He didn't pause his actions, even as he saw Lu Yao stare at him with her eyes wide open. He viciously rammed into her body and leaned down to kiss her.

To him, sex was not an act of love. It was a routine.

The next day, the rumbling sound of a car awoke Lu Yao.

She sat up with a blanket wrapped around her body and stared blankly into space for over ten seconds. When she heard movement in the kitchen, she scampered out of the room to see a slender figure hard at work in the kitchen.

He was dressed in casual clothes and had a small waist and long legs. Although he looked thin, he certainly wasn't weak last night.

Lu Yao blushed as she recalled yesterday's incident and felt slightly awkward.

What was she thinking about so early in the morning?

Shao Yunchen finished making breakfast and came out of the kitchen. Upon seeing Lu Yao standing in her nightgown, he frowned. "Go and change."

"Oh, okay." Lu Yao lowered her head and looked down at herself. She was wearing a silk nightgown that exposed both her arms and thighs. Because of her lack of underwear, her nipples showed through her clothing. She couldn't help but blush and sprint toward her bedroom.

By the time she had finished washing up, Shao Yunchen was already seated at the dining table eating breakfast. Lu Yao took a seat opposite of him.

Shao Yunchen's sandwich and fried eggs looked appetizing, and the fragrance was mouth-watering. Lu Yao nibbled at her eggs, and neither of the two spoke, allowing the sound of clashing utensils to occupy the silence.

Lu Yao was used to this lifestyle.

After eating, Lu Yao carried her plate to the kitchen. As she came out, she accidentally kicked the door, causing her to gasp in pain.

When Shao Yunchen saw her, he took the bandage from the cabinet and handed it to her.

"Thank you." Lu Yao knew that Shao Yunchen was cold to everyone, but she couldn't help but feel aggrieved in her heart.

Usually, when wives were injured, their husbands would be concerned and squat down to care for their spouse. However, Lu Yao and Shao Yunchen were the exceptions. They were like two strangers living under the same roof.

Shao Yunchen didn't say anything. He merely turned around and pulled his suit jacket on.

Some men, such as Shao Yunchen, were born to wear suits, and he looked particularly good in one. His aura was full of grandeur although he was merely standing still.

"Remember to wash the dishes after eating. Don't leave them in the sink." Shao Yunchen slipped on his leather shoes as he spoke.

When Lu Yao finally came to her senses, she was left with the sound of a closing door.

Lu Yao remained in a squat. Shao Yunchen's actions had made her melancholic, and the chilling sadness began to seep into her bone marrow, freezing her over from head to toe.

Lu Yao knew that Shao Yunchen had married her because her father forced him and not because he truly loved her.

Shao Yunchen even asked Lu Yao to sign a contract when they married, both before and after.

It stated that both parties had to pay half of the living expenses, they couldn't have children for four years, and after four years, they would divorce.

After Lu Yao signed all the contracts, she had naively thought she could warm Shao Yunchen's cold heart.

To her surprise, he was still as cold as ever even after three years. All her hard work had been in vain.

Look, Shao Yunchen had only spoken four sentences to Lu Yao since last night. Sex was only a physical necessity for him. He behavior was always restrained, even if he wasn't wearing a condom. It was as if he was scared she would get pregnant.

A married life like hers was quite ridiculous.
