Marriage Rights: Billionaire's Forgotten Wife

"Are you alright?!" Yu Qiao asked worriedly as he helps her sit properly.

Mo Lihua looked at him, blinkingly, "I think I am hallucinating. I just heard you said something, but I am not sure." She said, sounded confused.

"I said a lot of things." Yu Qiao replied his face heating up. 

"But none of it was a lie." He said under his breath, sounding so awkward and looked very uncomfortable that she almost sees his cheeks reddened.

She shook her head to remove all her assumptions, before laughing because of her confusion. "Yeah. But you can't tell me that you love me." Mo Lihua said truthfully, as she tried to stand up.

However, Yu Qiao did not let her as he circled his arms around her waist, pulling her so Mo Lihua's back would be against his c.h.e.s.t.

"Impossible? Why?" He said tightly.

Mo Lihua's heartbeat erratically as she answered, unsure, "Because, I know you would never tell me that."

"You know? How about what I know?" He spoke next to her ear that gave her goosebumps. 

Mo Lihua felt so uncomfortable. She tried to remember what he had said since earlier. The situation was clouding her mind due to confusion at the same time. Their closeness was affecting her.

The need to badly want to kiss him let him touch her intimately just like their wedding night continuously flows inside her head.

Yu Qiao bit her, earlobe, "I was asking you."

"Ah. What was the question again? Can you move away from a little?" She asked almost dazed her ears tingling from his bite.

"Tsk. Are you not paying attention? That hurts." Yu Qiao replied unhappily. Instead of moving away from her, he kissed her neck and allowed his nose to c.a.r.e.s.s her jaw. "I was asking you if you knew what I was thinking regarding you."

"Eh? How would I know? I am not inside your head." Mo Lihua said sadly while getting distracted to his advances.

Through the years, she got used to not assume or look beyond him treating her as a sister. Yu Qiao could always say that she was the most important. Then what's next? She could be the most important as a brother to a sister.

Heck, Yu Qiao could even tell her that he loves her, but Mo Lihua may still consider it as sister love.

"Right. You are not inside my head, so you have no right to assume." Yu Qiao's hand was c.a.r.e.s.sing the skin near her wounds. "Do you understand what I feel now?"

"Are you drunk?" Mo Lihua asked stupidly instead. Then she closed her mouth to try to think of something else. Her brain shuts down, which most of the time happened when he was so close to her. "I don't think you were drinking."

Yu Qiao hummed, "I haven't tasted alcohol since our marriage. I think I hated alcohol after that."

"Good. It will not solve anything." Mo Lihua felt like crying again after remembering that day. She knew that Yu Qiao could not stand her tears. Most of the time, he looks panicked when she cried.

"You are right. I did not solve anything, and I look stupid. I'm sorry." Yu Qiao said truthfully. He felt Mo Lihua fingers on his c.h.e.s.t, where the few buttons of his dress shirt were undone. "Are you playing with fire Lihua?" He asked warningly stopping Mo Lihua's fingers from c.a.r.e.s.sing his skin.

"No, but I don't mind being burned." Mo Lihua answered sultrily. She was not sure where she got the guts to do that, yet it did not feel wrong.

Yu Qiao hummed with a smirk, his hand c.a.r.e.s.sing her inner t.h.i.g.h, "I would love to burn you, dear wife. However, as you said, a marriage without love is impossible. I want your love, not just s.e.x."

"You said it was my responsibility." Mo Lihua accused, her eyes burned, tears pending to fall. "It was not part of the agreement. You are unfair, demanding a lot of things."

Yu Qiao sighs, "I was drunk. I do not know what I was talking about. Do you regret it?" He could not ask for more forgiveness. He was an assh*le and knew that if Mo Lihua would not forgive him, he deserves it.

"Probably. It was painful. We are legally married still so I could not complain." Mo Lihua said looking at the lamp on laying on the dry sand.

"Do you still feel sore? It was my… My…" Yu Qiao gulped down his nervousness and shame to whisper, "my first time too…"

"Huh?" Mo Lihua asked, looking at his face that looks uncomfortable and red from embarrassment. She then burst out laughing.

"Lihua, it was not funny. I hurt you!" He groans in frustration. Yu Qiao could have done better, but he acted like a teenage boy who could not control his libido, causing their first time to be painful for her. It was so embarrassing at first, but seeing Mo Lihua laugh kind of makes him feel a little better. If not with his manly ego that was currently damage a lot.

Mo Lihua continued laughing, to the point where Yu Qiao had no choice but to cover her mouth to stop her.

"Stop laughing now, or I will kiss you." Yu Qiao threatened with a smile a weak smile on his face.

She nodded her head. Mo Lihua's eyes were still bright with happiness.

"Why are you telling me this? Men are supposed to be a v.i.r.g.i.n again after taking a bath." She suddenly said with a raised brow. "What about Zang Fei?"

"What about her? We already broke up."

Mo Lihua's eyes bulged with disbelief, "When is this?"

"In the hospital. It was inevitable."

"What do you mean inevitable?" She asked. They were together for years, and she did not notice anything amiss when Mo Lihua saw Zang Fei in the hospital. She also knew that she did not visit afterward. So what happened?

"I do not love her. I can't even touch her. No reaction like this," Yu Qiao answered truthfully. He then pressed Mo Lihua's bottom to his lower half, allowing her to feel him, making her gasped. "My body only reacts to the one I love… So you understand what I am trying to say, right?"

"This…" Mo Lihua's brain froze, and then she felt lightheaded. Her heart almost gave out. She was thankful that she was sitting down. Mo Lihua started shaking as she breathed heavily. 'I think I'm about to hyperventilate.' Mo Lihua thought to herself and placed her head between her knees, trying to relax. 'Breath in, breath out…'

"Lihua? Are you alright? Talk to me! Are you hurt? Are you feeling sick somewhere?" Yu Qiao sounded alarmed and very worried as he checked on her leg wound first. He then checked her temperature when he found that her injuries were not bleeding. "Shit! You are so cold! You need to change clothes soon!" He said, picking her up bridal style, to run back inside the beach house.

"And whose fault is that?" Mo Lihua answered bemusedly through heavy breathing. She still could not believe what he was trying to say. 'His body only reacts to someone he loves…' She remembered, making her grin silly. Mo Lihua would not think about it from her wildest dreams. Because of that, she started laughing and crying at the same time…
