In the sixth month of our marriage, I still haven't figured out one thing——
Why did Shen Yuan marry me? One of its main businesses is traditional manufacturing, which has been steadily losing ground due to the impact of emerging technology companies. The capital chain has been tense for more than half a year.
The Shen Group spans finance, real estate, and technology, and is the leader in the entire southeast region. Stamping its feet can make half of the business district quake. No matter how you look at the marriage between the two families, it's the Cheng family who has the upper hand.
After our marriage, Shen Yuan and I shared a quilt, with at least half a meter of Chu River and Han boundary between us. He never crosses the line. The days passed by indifferently.
Until that night.
He participated in a mergers and acquisitions wine game, and it was already past one o'clock in the morning when he came back. I was a light sleeper, so I woke up when I heard him push the door open, but I didn't open my eyes. Over the past six months, we have formed a tacit understanding. When he comes home late, I pretend not to wake up, he doesn't disturb me, and both of us give each other enough dignity.
But something wasn't right with him tonight.
I felt him standing beside the bed for a long time. It was not the usual restrained stance, ready to walk away at any moment, but like a ferocious beast surveying its territory, breathing heavily and hot, smelling of alcohol, but not just alcohol - there was also a primitive and dangerous aura that I couldn't describe.
The mattress sank.
He got on the bed, but didn't lie down on his side as usual. I felt a warm body approaching from behind, a corner of the quilt was lifted, and then, an arm wrapped around my waist with irresistible force.
I froze.
Shen Yuan never touches me. After six months of marriage, we rarely even hold hands, but now, his chest is pressed against my back, and his heartbeat is as fast as a drum, hitting me with every beat.
"Are you awake?" His voice was hoarse, his lips were almost touching my ears, and his breath was so hot that my ears were numb.
I didn't move or answer. Partly because of nervousness, partly because - I don't know how to face this suddenly strange husband.
He didn't ask again.
The next second, I was turned over by him, facing up, and my whole body was enveloped by him. There was only faint moonlight coming through the cracks in the curtains in the bedroom, but I saw his eyes clearly——
His pupils are shining!!!
Not figuratively, literally glowing. The amber vertical pupils, bright as two cold flames in the darkness, were staring at me, the pupils contracting violently due to some strong impulse.
My brain shut down at that moment.
Those are definitely not human eyes.
Purpose: life and love
