    Chapter 439: Every Meal Has Its Payback

    Shen Que, "You complain when I cling to you and always wanting attention, but you also can't resist deliberately teasing me when I don't, right?"

    Wu Yue said like it was obvious, "I'm just this difficult. You're the one who made me this way."

    Shen Que thought to himself: Well, isn't it true that he spoiled her? He was willing, and he did it wholeheartedly.

    He loved it when Wu Yue argued, flirted, or made a fuss with him, repeatedly tormenting him—he loved every second of it.

    Shen Que turned Wu Yue's body to make her face him, "Did you miss me?"

    Wu Yue shyly wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes fixed intently on him.

    Shen Que's hand, wrapped around Wu Yue, slid down along her pajamas as he let out a soft laugh, "So, can I start now?"

    Shen Que had been pretty direct during this period, so his sudden straight-faced question made her feel extremely embarrassed.

    Shen Que stared at Wu Yue's flustered look, his gaze dark and heavy,

    "If you don't ask for it yourself, I won't do it."

    After saying that, Shen Que's eyes glanced away from Wu Yue and returned to the documents, continuing to read.

    Wu Yue's face flushed bright red, and she turned to run, but although Shen Que said he wouldn't do anything, he firmly held her against the edge of the desk.

    His arms seemed casually placed as he looked over the papers, but in reality, they tightly encircled her, not allowing her to escape at all.

    What's more, Shen Que deliberately reached for a pen, leaning forward and pressing his body against hers, leaving not an inch between them.

    Wu Yue's thin frame was tightly pressed against the edge of the desk by Shen Que, their bodies fitting together seamlessly without the slightest space between them.

    Shen Que shot her a straight-faced look: "I'm a bit busy right now. If you really want it, you'll have to take the lead."

    After saying that, he actually lowered his head and started signing documents!!

    Wu Yue was so embarrassed she felt like she could die. This person never used to have so many moves—now he's getting better and better at it!

    How could he act so casual yet so naughty at the same time?!

    If Wu Yue couldn't sense that he wasn't as cool as he seemed on the surface, she would have been completely fooled by him!!

    Wu Yue felt her body growing hotter and hotter. By the time she realized it, her body seemed to have lost control and had a will of its own!

    Hearing Shen Que's low chuckle, Wu Yue turned and ran.

    Wu Yue found an empty room, ducked inside, and frantically clutched her head while pounding the wall.

    You shameless rogue!! You pervert!! You have no shame!!

    Just because you're good-looking, you keep teasing me!!

    "Shen Que: The way you were grinding on me just now—I won't be able to come find you for a while.

    There's a combat simulator in the backyard. Go play for a bit, but don't overexert yourself."

    Seeing the message Shen Que sent, Wu Yue's hands trembled.

    Wu Yue didn't even need to think to know—he must have been thrilled!! That guy must have been loving it!! He finally managed to turn the tables!!

    She was furious! No way was she backing down! Her top-dog status at home absolutely could not be lost!

    Wu Yue spun around and marched back the way she came.

    Shen Que was heading for a cold shower when he heard Wu Yue coming back.

    He looked toward the door, his breathing growing heavier. Wu Yue was right outside—if he swung the door open now...

    Wu Yue stood outside the door for a moment, then turned to leave, but Shen Que suddenly pulled her into a back hug.

    She turned to look at him, and the two stared wordlessly, their breaths growing increasingly ragged.

    Wu Yue kept pep-talking herself—she absolutely could not back down! Otherwise, he'd definitely keep playing her in the future!

    Wu Yue, "Are you done with your work?"

    Shen Que immediately replied, "I'm done."

    Shen Que knew when to quit while he was ahead; he jumped at the chance.

    He didn’t need status in the household; he had no status to begin with. His only goal was to seduce his wife.

    Seeing that Shen Que hadn’t moved, Wu Yue said, "Even though you’re done, I still have to do it myself?"

    Shen Que turned his face away, trying to suppress a smile but failing. He swept Wu Yue up bridal-style, walked into the room, and closed the door behind him.

    Shen Que devoured her with kisses. He carried Wu Yue back to the same spot, pressing her tightly against the edge of the desk.

    Then, he clearly felt Wu Yue sink down onto him.

    Shen Que breathed raggedly, locking eyes with Wu Yue, who shyly turned her face away.

    "Don’t look at me."

    Shen Que buried his face in the crook of Wu Yue’s neck, his breathing growing heavier and heavier.

    ....

    After a moment, his voice was tight with strain:

    "Wife, if you keep edging me like this, I’m going to die."

    Wu Yue said righteously, "The combat simulator's overkill for me right now. You said it yourself—you guaranteed my most basic aerobic exercise."

    Shen Que, "I was wrong, wife. Can I take over?"

    Wu Yue shook her head, "No, you said you were busy and told me to do it myself."

    Shen Que was practically being driven out of his mind—feeling both ecstasy and agony, as if he had ants under his skin.

    He couldn’t take it anymore. He lifted Wu Yue up, sat her on the desk, and leaned in against her.

    ....

    Wu Yue felt like she might die—drained of all her energy by Shen Que, this cunning devil.

    Lying on the sofa, her eyes were completely spaced out, as if she could see her own soul floating away.

    Shen Que shot her a sidelong glance, unable to suppress the smile on his lips. His entire demeanor was practically glowing with smugness as he started making dinner.

    Watching Shen Que pan-fry the fish, flipping it back and forth, Wu Yue thought...

    She'd rather skip this meal altogether...

    Every meal Wu Yue had from Shen Que was a favor she’d owe, one she'd have to pay back!!

    By the time Shen Que finished cooking and called Wu Yue to eat, she was sprawled lifelessly on the couch like a salted fish, her calves were shaking.

    Shen Que, "Time to eat, honey."

    Wu Yue politely declined, "No, I feel like this meal is a Hongmen banquet (a trap)."

    If she ate it, there'd definitely be another session waiting for her that night—she really couldn’t handle any more "favors."

    Before, she used to think Shen Que was good-looking and well-built, full of energy, and great at managing daily life—like she’d struck gold.

    But the truth is, some blessings just aren’t for everyone to enjoy!!

    Shen Que couldn’t help but laugh at Wu Yue’s scaredy-cat look. He walked over to her and reached out to pick her up, but Wu Yue immediately put her hand up to keep some distance between them.

    "Even between adults, interactions should still have a sense of boundaries."

    Shen Que chuckled, "Let’s eat. I really won’t initiate anything tonight."

    Originally, he hadn’t even planned on doing anything after the time at the desk earlier, but when Wu Yue came back to him like that, how could he resist?

    Wu Yue looked at him skeptically, "You have no credibility left right now."

    Shen Que picked Wu Yue up, "Yeah, I’m in the doghouse now. You can keep a close eye on me."

    He carried her to the dining table, set the bowl and chopsticks in front of her, and said, "Eat."

    Wu Yue looked at the table full of food and sighed, "How are you so full of energy?"

    Shen Que, "I’m used to it."

    If he weren’t energetic enough, he would’ve been drained dry by now.

    Wu Yue glanced at him, and Shen Que lowered his head, speaking calmly:

    "If you really don’t want to tonight, from now on, be good and don’t tempt me.

    Otherwise, if you flirt with me, I’ll take it as you wanting it.

    When that time comes, don’t tell me you can’t take it—even if you do, I won’t let you off."

    Wu Yue immediately lowered her head and stared deeply at the bowl of rice in front of her. As if! She really didn’t want to anymore!!
