Chapter 18 - Contraceptive pills triggered a complicated interpersonal relationship between her childhood friend and the fake husband

“Who is going to make you a cuckold? Wen Bin and I are friends from young, good friends! It’s not as dirty as you think!” Qiao Ning retorted in a hurry.

She regretted it the moment she finished speaking. It sounded like she was explaining that she would not make him a cuckold, when she should have said, “ You are not my husband, so how can I make you a cuckold!”

“Okay, okay, I am thinking too much. I am jealous. Anyway, I’m relieved that you two would be chatting in front of me.” Chen Jun reached out and lightly pinched Qiao Ning’s cheek dotingly.

Qiao Ning was stunned, how could the atmosphere between them suddenly be like this?

Such ambiguous intimacy! The most terrifying thing was that she could not resist it!

Qiao Ning stared at Chen Jun in a trance. With her cheeks flushed, Chen Jun felt touched. He slowly approached and lightly kissed Qiao Ning’s lips. She neither avoided nor resisted, but simply widened her eyes, a little overwhelmed. She tolerated his kissing and allowed him to trace the shape of her lips with the tip of his tongue.

Chen Jun embraced Qiao Ning in his arms, gently pried open her lips and teeth with the tip of his tongue, stuck his tongue into her mouth, interlocking with her tongue, and gently licked the inner wall of her mouth.

Both of their breaths were quick and disorderly. Qiao Ning felt a wetness in the centre of her legs after being kissed.

Amid the passionate moment, the doorbell rang suddenly.

Qiao Ning hurriedly pushed Chen Jun away, wiped the saliva from her lower lip in embarrassment, lowered her head and mumbled, “Go open the door…”

Chen Jun adjusted his breath looked at the hardness in his crotch slowly softened, and then grudgingly went to open the door.

After Huo Wenbin entered the door, he nodded politely to Chen Jun and immediately sat down next to Qiao Ning. The two were sitting too close, and Chen Jun felt very unhappy.

Unexpectedly, when Huo Wenbin saw Qiao Ning’s red cheeks, he immediately reached out to check the temperature of her forehead. Chen Jun couldn’t bear it. After taking two bottles of mineral water from the refrigerator, Chen Jun sat down in the middle of the two.

“What are you doing? We’re getting down to business~” Qiao Ning complained in a low voice.

“Why can’t I sit here when you are talking about business? Isn’t it about house renovation? As someone who has been through it, I can also provide professional advice.” Chen Jun deliberately played dumb.

Huo Wenbin saw the difference between the two at a glance. They were in a fake marriage. When he last came to their house, they were unfamiliar and alienated at home.

Although they didn’t do anything intimate, the two of them seemed to be a lot closer.

Huo Wenbin took the initiative to stand up, walked to the other side of Qiao Ning and sat down, saying: “I don’t have many ideas about the decoration style. What style do you like? You can decorate it as you like, just don’t do up my house in a pink princess style. But if you like it, you can do up your bedroom in that style. Anyway, as I said before, I will reserve a room for you, no…”

Huo Wenbin didn’t finish his words, Chen Jun interrupted: “Wait, Mr Huo, do you know what you’re talking about? Why is your nuptial home decorated in the style that my wife likes? Is it polite of you to say this in front of her husband?”

Hearing this, Huo Wenbin looked at Chen Jun with a puzzled look, then turned his eyes to Qiao Ning, and asked bluntly, “What is he talking about?”

Qiao Ning said awkwardly: “He had a car accident some time ago, the doctor said that blood stasis may have oppressed his nerves and caused him to lose some memories, so he didn’t remember that we were in a fake marriage.”

Huo Wenbin immediately asked nervously: “Then you…”

Of course, Qiao Ning knew what Huo Wenbin was asking. But if he knew the truth, he would scold her to death, so she naturally couldn’t tell the truth, but Chen Jun, wouldn’t spare her if she told a lie.

When Qiao Ning was at a loss and didn’t know how to respond, the doorbell rang again, and Qiao Ning was instantly relieved.

She hurriedly rush to open the door as if to escape, hoping someone could come and rescue her.

Unexpectedly, when she opened the door, it was medicine delivery, which should be the contraceptive pill she just placed an order for.

Qiao Ning closed the door and found two men standing behind her when she turned around, giving her a shock.

They noticed the bag in her hand was a bag for medicine.

Huo Wenbin hurriedly asked: “Xiao Ning, are you sick? Is it critical, I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Qiao Ning hurriedly waved his hand: “No need…”

Before she finished speaking, Chen Jun grabbed and opened the medicine bag in her hand. He picked up the medicine box and saw Yu Ting, an emergency conceptive pill, written on the medicine box!

Anyone with a little common sense knew that this was a contraceptive pill. The faces of the two men instantly darkened.

Huo Wenbin spoke first and rebuked in a deep voice: “You are so irresponsible to yourself! How did you promise me back then!! You said you wouldn’t simply hand yourself over to others! Only then did I promise to keep your secrets for you. How would you want to explain this situation? Qiao Ning, you let me down too much”

Qiao Ning bowed her head in silence while Huo Wenbin reprimanded her. Her face felt hot and awkward as if someone had untied the loincloth*.

But Chen Jun, who was sullen when he saw the contraceptive pill earlier, was inexplicably relieved when he saw the situation in front of him.

When Huo Wenbin entered the house, Chen Jun was upset about it. He could see his bad intentions. It seemed that men know men better, and he had to subdue this guy’s drive.

Chen Jun put away the contraceptive pill and complained a little: “Your friend is right!” After he deliberately added the word “friend”, he continued: “Why are you so irresponsible to yourself, if you don’t want children now, I can take safety precautions, eating this is not good for your health, we are young and energetic, how many contraceptive pills do you have to take a month, your body will be destroyed by it.”

The meaning of these words couldn’t be clearer, they had already done it. In fact, very frequently. And, they had plans to have children in the future.

Huo Wenbin’s anger surged when he heard it, and suddenly he punched Chen Jun’s face, pulled his collar, and said angrily: “Chen, you and Xiao Ning are in a fake marriage! You do not have any relationship. Amnesia is such a bad excuse to take advantage of her! Are you a man or not?”

Chen Junyou waved Huo Wenbin’s hand away, caressed the wrinkled collar in disdain, and then repaid Huo Wenbin with a punch, directly knocking him to the ground. Without any power to fight and unable to get up.

“I would like to tell you, whether it’s a real or fake marriage, it’s between me and her, and it has nothing to do with you, who is just a friend!” Chen Jun pointed at Huo Wenbin, the words were loud and clear, choking him speechless.

Qiao Ning was stunned by the sudden fight between the two men.

Huo Wenbin stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said unwillingly: “It has nothing to do with me? If I had been a little braver, there would have been no chance for you to appear at all, even now, if I wanted, I could take Xiao Ning at any time away from you!”

Yes, he had always liked Qiao Ning, but he also clearly knew that Qiao Ning had no intention to get married and have children. His family could not allow him to not marry or not have children. He was caught in the middle, and he finally chose to comply with the arrangements of his parents.

But after a few relationships, he realised he couldn’t let go of Qiao Ning. He knew very well in his heart that he only loved Qiao Ning.

Loincloth (遮羞布 zhēxiūbù) – Cloth tied around the waist to cover the lower body. In this context, it refers to a cover-up for disgraceful things.
