Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Let You Know What’s Called
Xiahou Yutong, after hearing some noise from Qiu Ruoxi’s side, thought it was Ye Xunhuan coming back and that the two were arguing again, so she couldn’t help worrying and came over to have a look. However, she didn’t expect to encounter such a stunning scene.
For a moment, even Xiahou Yutong’s old face couldn’t maintain its composure. After all, her daughter and son-in-law were, well, in the middle of something, but she barged in unexpectedly. How could she not feel embarrassed?
So, once she came to her senses, Xiahou Yutong’s first instinct was to evacuate the room and give the space back to Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan!
Upon hearing Xiahou Yutong’s words, Qiu Ruoxi was first taken aback, then realized the situation as she saw herself on top of Ye Xunhuan, and him seemingly accepting his fate. Her face instantly flushed crimson, and before Xiahou Yutong could step out, she hurriedly spoke up, "Mom, you...you’ve misunderstood, we...we..."
Before Qiu Ruoxi could finish speaking, Xiahou Yutong cut in, "I know, I know, I won’t disturb you two anymore, won’t disturb you anymore!"
"Just do whatever you were doing!"
As soon as the words were out, Xiahou Yutong left the room and gently closed the door behind her.
After stepping out of the room, Xiahou Yutong’s face bore a slight tinge of red, "These kids, really, they don’t even lock the door. Luckily it was me who came in, if it had been Shuihan..."
With that, Xiahou Yutong turned and went straight back to her own bedroom.
Seeing Xiahou Yutong return, Qiu Shuihan, who was lying in bed, immediately asked, "What happened?"
"Nothing, nothing!"
"How could it be nothing? If it was nothing, why was there such a commotion..."
"You old fool, what do you think those two kids could be doing?" Xiahou Yutong gave Qiu Shuihan a look and said, "I’m telling you, no matter what you hear in the future, don’t go over and check on them!"
Qiu Shuihan, being experienced, immediately understood upon hearing Xiahou Yutong’s words and a smile played on his lips.
Meanwhile, in Qiu Ruoxi’s bedroom.
Qiu Ruoxi was sitting astride Ye Xunhuan, looking completely stunned; she knew Xiahou Yutong had misunderstood, thinking she and Ye Xunhuan were doing... that.
But in all honesty, she hadn’t done anything!
That jerk, it was all this jerk’s fault. If not for him, how could Xiahou Yutong have misunderstood and barged in unexpectedly?
The more Qiu Ruoxi thought about it, the angrier she became, and the frost on her face grew even thicker.
"Ye Xunhuan..."
"Wife, why would mom come over at this time?" Ye Xunhuan feigned confusion, "And what did she mean, telling us to carry on? Also, her expression seemed a bit off..."
"Ye Xunhuan, you bastard, trying to play dumb with me, huh? I’ll strangle you!"
With that, Qiu Ruoxi’s fair hands immediately clenched around Ye Xunhuan’s neck, as if she was intent on choking him to death.
"Murder! Murdering your own husband..."
"Let you scream! Scream! I’ll choke you, choke you to death..."
"I can’t... I can’t breathe... can’t get... breath..."
Ye Xunhuan’s face slowly turned a darker shade, then deathly pale, as his hands began to struggle ceaselessly, and his legs kicked aimlessly, genuinely looking as if he were being choked to death.
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan suddenly went still, staring wide-eyed at Qiu Ruoxi, as if to say he died with his eyes open.
Qiu Ruoxi, still sitting on Ye Xunhuan, immediately sensed something wrong with him and stopped her hands, "Ye Xunhuan, stop joking with me, don’t pretend to be dead here..."
Ye Xunhuan didn’t move an inch, as if he really had died.
After witnessing this, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart skipped a beat in panic, "Ye Xunhuan, you... don’t scare me, alright?"
Qiu Ruoxi’s voice became shaky at that moment, and her face also took on an ugly expression.
Her right hand, trembling slightly, reached out and patted Ye Xunhuan’s face, "Ye Xunhuan, stop... stop playing, I won’t hit you anymore..."
But Ye Xunhuan still didn’t make any movement.
"I’ll call you hubby, okay? I’m not playing anymore, can you stop playing with me too?" Qiu Ruoxi’s voice was filled with an uncontrollable trembling.
This made Qiu Ruoxi’s panic rise even more; her delicate body shook even worse, and she didn’t forget to extend her hand to check Ye Xunhuan’s breath!
The next moment, Qiu Ruoxi was terrified, her face losing all color.
No breath, Ye Xunhuan had stopped breathing.
Qiu Ruoxi was dumbstruck, completely frozen in place. Her eyes, which had been full of anger, now suddenly dimmed, devoid of any spark of life.
"Ye... Ye Xunhuan, I... I didn’t mean it, I... I really didn’t mean it..." At that moment, Qiu Ruoxi was terrified to her core; she never thought she would actually strangle Ye Xunhuan to death.
But she hadn’t used any strength, she hadn’t intended to strangle him, how did he die?
Yet at that moment, Qiu Ruoxi obviously didn’t have the presence of mind to think further; her heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of panic.
She became a murderer, and moreover, of her own husband.
If her parents ever found out...
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became deep inside. What to do, what to do!
"Call someone, call someone, call someone..."
With that, Qiu Ruoxi got up to find the phone and dial for emergency services, to get Ye Xunhuan to the hospital.
It was then that a hoarse voice said, "Hurry... give him CPR, and he might come around..."
Caught off guard by this sudden voice, Qiu Ruoxi was startled and, without much thought and not noticing where the voice came from, pinched Ye Xunhuan’s nose, ready to give him CPR.
Then, Qiu Ruoxi paused, thinking, could a strangled man react to CPR?
The next moment, Qiu Ruoxi seemed to realize something; her face immediately turned icy cold.
The son of a bitch, trying to trick me, to take advantage of me!
Qiu Ruoxi, initially wanting to go at Ye Xunhuan again, suddenly had a thought and refrained from any movement. Instead, she softly said, "Xunhuan, hubby, sorry, I never treated you well before, and I even killed you, but I know you won’t blame me. You definitely want me to live well!"
"Don’t worry, I will live well. Once I bury you, I’ll find a man who is handsomer and richer than you to marry, and then every Tomb Sweeping Day, the two of us will hold hands and visit your grave. That way, you will certainly be laughing your head off down there..."
"Oh right, you know, if dad finds out you’re dead, he will definitely kill me. But you don’t have to worry; I’ll go to the kitchen and get a knife to dismember you. Don’t worry, I learned human anatomy in school..."
"I am thinking of first..."
Ye Xunhuan’s face instantly darkened; damn, this woman is ruthless!
Qiu Ruoxi saw this scene unfold before her eyes, snorted coldly, and thought to herself that she would see how long he could bear it.
With that, Qiu Ruoxi got up and walked towards her vanity, "I just happen to have a pair of scissors here..."
Then, Qiu Ruoxi walked toward Ye Xunhuan, holding a shiny pair of scissors.
This time, Ye Xunhuan really couldn’t pretend anymore, and with a whoosh, he got up, "Qiu Ruoxi, are you really going to murder your own husband...?"
"You bastard, why have you stopped pretending? Keep pretending for me, scumbag! You want CPR? Today I’ll let you know what..."
