Chapter 146: Next time


    The anger he felt was unbearable and he wanted to repress it so badly by destroying something, but he knew that he needed to reign it in, as his wife will be hurt further due to his uncontroble spiritual energy. He forced himself to look somewhere else to rx.


    Gao Lan Mei watched Wei Jiayi''s handsome face. She could see him gritting his teeth, he was clearly avoiding looking at her. His hands were clenched so tightly that she will not be surprised if his nails left a mark on his palm.


    Thinking the worst, cing a distance between them, "I''m sorry." She whispered silently, smiling ruefully at him.


    Frowning, he then peered at her, softly speaking, "What are you sorry for?" he asked, looking at her intently, "Next time, if you want to skin someone alive, let me do it. Your hands will get dirty." he uttered while trying to swallow the lump in his throat.


    Whenever he looked at her and seeing the scars, his heartfelt uncontroble rage. Whatever she wanted to do to Li Huan or to anyone, he will just hide the body after just to make her happy.


    She probably noticed his conflicting emotions, so she decided to put the skin mask back on.


    "Do not wear that again!" He shrieked, forgetting to keep a check of his emotions. Wincing with his own outburst, "Use a different mask." He uttered again moreposed, still trying to calm down.


    Surprised but she stillplied and nodded, she then pulled out the mask for Merchant Lan, "There, better?" she asked. "I cleaned it first you know before I ced it on my face."


    Wei Jiayi nodded, eyes staring at her softly "Satisfied?" He asked doing a quick nce to the lump on the bed. It was very easy to guess who was under the bedsheet.


    Smiling brightly, "Yeah. This is my...", pausing for a moment to think of the right word, "ah, souvenir." She said, raising the face skin near Wei Jiayi''s face that made him scowl.


    Shaking his head and then looking at her sadly, he lifted his hand, intending to touch her, which she avoided. "Tsk. Tsk. No touching." She said a matter of fact.


    Narrowing his eyes at her, "Six months." Hepromised. How can he not touch her for 2 years? There was no way.


    "One year and six months." Raising a brow at him, crossing her arms over her chest.


    Releasing a deep breath, "Three months." Was his final offer.


    Gao Lan Mei frowned unhappily, "It should be more than your three months. It was supposed to go up, up, up not down, down, down." To emphasize she even made a downward gesture using her hand.


    "Three months." voice indicated finality, then he added, "I will give you Kai Kai, the ck hound."


    Her eyes brightened, but masked it immediately with a re, hissing under her breath. "One year." Gao Lan Mei was starting to get annoyed again. This was supposed to be his punishment, and he was not supposed to be negotiating with.


    "Miss, why are you even talking to this man? Let me just bite him so we can be on our way." The maid who was sitting at the end of the bed, opened her mouth trying to scare Wei Jiayi with her sharp teeth like Shi Renyu, a savage aquatic beast that ate manly flesh and loved the smell of blood. She even made a chomping sound to emphasize her point.


    Releasing a deep breath, "Behave Xiao Shi." then red to Wei Jiayi, "You! I gave up running away, but that does not mean we are going to get married soon. Its either you ept the one-year punishment, or I will fight you in all possible way I can, again." said Gao Lan Mei, raising her chin in defiance, challenging him not to agree.
