Life and Death Insurance – CH 044

Chapter 44

“Unwell? Of course I’m unwell! I was pinned down all night; do you think I’d feel comfortable?”

Ling Zhengzhong’s anger made Xiang Tian’s smile stiffen. He asked softly, “Zhengzhong, are you unhappy? Don’t you want to be with me?”

But last night, this person kept saying he wanted him, loved him, and wanted him to stay with him forever…

Ling Zhengzhong was still angry. “You can tell I’m unhappy? Of course I’m unhappy! Who told you to pin me down?!”

Xiang Tian asked, puzzled, “What’s the problem?”

“What’s the problem?”

Looking at the oblivious Xiang Tian, ​​Ling Zhengzhong laughed angrily.

“Are you genuinely confused or just pretending? I’m twenty-eight years old, and I’ve always been the one dominating others. I’m a man; how can I be dominated by someone else?”

“But last night you said you wanted to sleep with me, and you said you loved me…”

Before Xiang Tian could finish his explanation, his words died instantly. Ling Zhengzhong shouted angrily, “I love you, and I want to sleep with you, but I never said I wanted to be dominated by you! Love is one thing, and being dominated is another; don’t you understand?!”

“I don’t understand! Zhengzhong, how can your love be selective? Is love more important or your pride?”

Faced with the still stubborn little hamster, Ling Zhengzhong’s anger intensified. Without thinking, he said, “Of course, face is more important! If others knew that I, Ling Zhengzhong, had been dominated, how could I ever face anyone again? You say love has no selectivity, and you value love more than face, so why weren’t you the bottom last night? Why weren’t you the one being dominated?”

Hmm…that sounded a bit too much…

As soon as Ling Zhengzhong finished speaking, he saw Xiang Tian’s face instantly turn pale. He didn’t say another word, just slowly put on his clothes, turned around, and walked out.

“Hey, hey, hey! Last night I was the one being pinned down the whole time! This is the first time in my life I’ve been treated like a woman and pinned down like this. Can’t I complain a little? Can’t I grumble a bit? What’s with that face of yours? It’s like you’re the one who’s been wronged. Did you expect me to comfort you after I was pinned down all night?”

Ling Zhengzhong was seething with anger, and in a fit of rage, he threw the decorative toys on the coffee table to the ground.

Bad luck happened every year, but this year it seemed especially bad. All sorts of strange things were happening to him, and they all seemed to hit him right away. Why had he never been this lucky with the lottery?

Since the two had argued, there was no breakfast. Looking at the empty dining table in the living room, Ling Zhengzhong felt another wave of annoyance. The daily breakfasts he’d been having lately had spoiled his palate, and suddenly not eating anything made him very uncomfortable. Xiang Tian wasn’t in the living room; he hadn’t heard him leave, so he’d obviously gone to another bedroom to sulk.

“No, no, what’s the big deal!”

Ling Zhengzhong muttered, putting on his coat and driving to work on an empty stomach.

Aside from some soreness upon waking, his body quickly returned to normal after a little activity. Even his private parts weren’t very painful, which sent chills down Ling Zhengzhong’s spine as he sat at his desk staring blankly at his documents.

He’d heard that the first time being the bottom was always very painful, sometimes so severe that one couldn’t get out of bed for days. How come he was completely fine after being caressed all night? Was he born to be the bottom?

Last night, he was somewhat disoriented due to the effects of the drug, but his intercourse with Xiang Tian was definitely a pleasant and exciting experience. He even remembered the pleasurable moans he made after ejaculating.

That felt good, but…

No…

It was just an insurance policy. Did he really want to lose everything to him?

The employees under Manager Ling, always observant and perceptive, automatically retreated to safety, leaving only Le Hua and Cheng Jing with nowhere to hide.

What was wrong with Manager Ling lately? It wasn’t like he had never been in a relationship before, and he’d never been this emotionally volatile. Just who was this Xiang Tian?

Le Hua, sitting in the outer room, twirled her pen, pondering silently.

Getting so close could easily make her cannon fodder; it seemed she needed to retreat when necessary.

Having made up her mind, Le Hua tidied the documents on the table and said to Cheng Jing, who was sitting opposite her, “Cheng Jing, I’m going out to run some errands. I’ll leave this to you. Call me if you need anything.”

The clever Le Hua skipped work, leaving the newcomer Cheng Jing behind. Thus, only Cheng Jing and Ling Zhengzhong remained in the Development Department office.

Cheng Jing peeked into the inner room and saw Ling Zhengzhong sighing deeply, his brows furrowed, looking extremely annoyed. She thought for a moment, then went to the tea room to pour a cup of coffee, knocked on the door, and went in.

“Manager Ling, your coffee.”

“Thank you.”

Seeing it was Cheng Jing, Ling Zhengzhong gestured for her to put the coffee on the table, but then heard her ask, “Manager Ling, is something bothering you?”

Yes, and it was a trouble he couldn’t easily share. To Cheng Jing’s well-intentioned inquiry, Ling Zhengzhong could only shake his head and smile wryly.

“It’s nothing, just a little uncomfortable.”

That was the truth. Being dominated and made love to all night for the first time—any man would feel uncomfortable, right? Besides, he hadn’t eaten much since last night, had been drugged, then dominated, and hadn’t even had breakfast this morning…

Why was he so unlucky?!

Cheng Jing’s words stirred up painful memories, and Ling Zhengzhong’s face began to show resentment.
