The 99th Divorce - Chapter 2032

Chapter 2032: His Reaction

He suddenly remembered his “reaction” last night.

He vaguely recalled rubbing himself against a pillow or something in bed.

Could it be…

Chapter 2035: A normal human being with normal needs

Shen Manting suddenly stopped struggling. She was panting heavily and glaring at him.

Shen Luo’an didn’t let her go. He simply stared into her eyes without saying a word.

It took a while for Shen Manting to finally say, “You can’t satisfy me, Shen Luo’an.”

“What do you mean?” Shen Luo’an narrowed his eyes as his hands moved up her body along her waistline.

His hands glided over her slowly and tenderly.

Shen Manting felt a strange sensation. She shuddered.

Her body stiffened.

Shen Luo’an could feel her reaction. His hands kept wandering over her body as he whispered, “Is this how you want it?”

Shen Manting felt conflicted inside. She closed her eyes and tilted her head to the side as she tried to push him away.

But instead of letting her go, Shen Luo’an lifted her up.

Shen Manting let out a gasp. In the blink of an eye, she was already pressed onto the bed.

Shen Manting was overwhelmed by a familiar yet strange feeling. She panicked and shouted, “Shen Luo’an, let go of me now!”

She flailed her arms and legs about and struggled against him with all the strength she could muster. Her eyes turned red and she was becoming hysterical.

She was scared out of her wits.

Shen Luo’an noticed her fear and immediately released his grip.

Shen Manting quickly rolled down the bed and stumbled away.

She glared at Shen Luo’an with bloodshot eyes, panting heavily.

In a flash, she flung the door open and ran outside.

Shen Luo’an turned around to look at the door. He suddenly felt a deep sense of frustration, followed by irrepressible rage.

He picked up the contract, tore it into pieces, and flung the shreds into the garbage bin.

The shreds of paper hit the edge of the garbage bin and landed on the floor, scattered.

Mrs. Shen was cradling the infant outside. She was concerned when she heard the violent commotion inside the room.

Soon, she saw Shen Manting running out in a panic.

Something looks wrong.

“Manting…”

Shen Manting didn’t stop to respond at all. She simply bolted out of the door like a startled deer.

Mrs. Shen was taken aback. Just as she was about to enter the room, the baby burst into tears, as if sensing something wrong about the situation.

She entered Shen Luo’an’s room while coaxing the child.

She noticed his ominously grim expression at a glance.

“What’s the matter?” Mrs. Shen asked, worried. “Did you argue with Manting?”

Shen Luo’an sighed heavily when he saw his mother.

He sat on the bed and buried his face in his hands, letting out a helpless and despairing sigh. “Mother, what should I do to make her stay?”

Mrs. Shen sighed softly.

The infant in her arms kept crying restlessly. Shen Luo’an was getting increasingly agitated. He reached out for the baby and demanded, “Pass him to me.”

Mrs. Shen didn’t relent and turned around to shield the infant. “You’ve frightened the child. Don’t even think of hitting him.”

“When have I ever hit the child?” Shen Luo’an became even more upset. “I’m not that ill-tempered.”

Mrs. Shen smiled and said, “You do know you have an awful temper, right? Whose temper is worse than yours in this family?”

“Grandma has quite a temper.”

“Grandma has lived a free life. She naturally has a temper.”

“Manting’s temper is worse.”

“She was provoked by you. I’m all too familiar with your bad temper and unreasonable moods.” Mrs. Shen chided, still holding the infant in her arms. “Didn’t you ask me what should you do to make her stay?”

“So?”

“Give her no reason to leave in order to convince her to stay!”

Shen Luo’an was speechless.

Isn’t that nonsense?

But his main concern was this: how to prevent her from leaving?

He observed Shen Manting’s expression and was suddenly overcome by an awful feeling in the pit of his stomach.

Could it be that the “object” he rubbed against last night was actually a person?

He felt uneasy. When he noticed the dismay on Shen Manting’s face, he deliberately shifted his gaze away and asked cautiously, “You weren’t pushed off the bed by me… were you?”

Both Mother He and Mrs. Shen laughed. Shen Longyue, who was sitting at the dining table, glanced at them curiously.

Shen Manting felt enraged by their laughter. She frowned and snapped, “Some nerve you have! You know you can’t drink as much as the others. You were so drunk you ended up sitting in the bathtub. If I didn’t sacrifice my sleep to get you out, you would have slept in the bathtub the whole night!”

Her words seemed to have jogged his memory of last night’s incident.

It seemed…

He really did make a drunken fool of himself last night.

He felt a little guilty, but adamantly refused to admit his mistake. He stared at Shen Manting and scoffed indignantly. “If that’s true, you should have just let me sleep in the bathtub. It’s a cool and comfortable place to sleep in.”

Shen Manting thought he was being unreasonable. She stood up with her baby in her arms and decided not to speak to him again.

Shen Luo’an glared at her and started eating oranges.

Mother He soon served him the hangover remedy. She shot Shen Luo’an a disapproving look as she walked over to him and admonished, “Couldn’t you say something nice to her?”

“What could I say?” Shen Luo’an thought she was being ridiculous. He glanced at the piping hot bowl of soup in front of him. “I have a headache. Please pass me the painkiller.”

“You’ll be fine after drinking this hangover remedy and getting some rest.” Mother He wiped her hands. “Have your breakfast after drinking it up. Too much alcohol is bad for your stomach.”

“I know.” Shen Luo’an lifted the bowl in his hands and drank the soup, grimacing. Then, he headed for the dining table.

Shen Manting placed the infant back in the crib. Her stomach was already rumbling with hunger after the trouble she went through last night.

But when she was about to walk to the dining table for breakfast, she noticed Shen Luo’an sitting at the table.

She turned around and walked away.

Shen Luo’an frowned, but didn’t say a word.

After having a light breakfast, he went back to his room to rest.

Shen Manting was sorting the infant’s clothes and folding them into a pile in the room. At the sight of Shen Luo’an walking into the room, she bundled up the clothes and stored them in the disinfecting cabinet in the next room.

Shen Luo’an noticed something.

This woman was avoiding him again!

He was upset. He covered his head with his blanket and closed his eyes.

But he couldn’t fall asleep.

He tossed and turned in bed as he tried to recall what had happened the night before.

Yet, thinking about last night’s incident gave him a throbbing headache.

“Damn it!”

He learned that it was indeed possible for a man to suffer a mental blackout after drinking too much.

His tongue still hurt. She had bit it till it bled.

He needed some time to sort out his thoughts first.

Shen Manting saw him as a beastly animal. It was impossible for her to willingly kiss him.

The only possibility was that he kissed her in his drunken state.

Then, she bit his tongue. His tongue still hurt.

Besides, he vaguely recalled feeling someone touching him last night until he gave a “reaction.”

Shen Luo’an immediately sat up at the thought.

The door opened.

Shen Manting came in, holding a few milk bottles in her hands. She saw him sitting on the bed, but decided not to look at him. She silently arranged the bottles in their dedicated disinfecting cabinet.
