Warm water poured down from her head. In the bathroom, Gu Susu wanted to wash away the shame all over her body, but it was impossible to cleanse it completely.
The slightest movement sent a pain from the depths of her body, forcing her to grip the bathroom wall, her face deathly pale.
When she emerged from the bathroom, still trembling, she saw Qin Tianyi had changed into clothes, a light gray casual outfit. He stood before a full-length mirror, adjusting his short hair, his profile just as breathtakingly handsome.
Qin Tianyi turned to look at her. "Hurry and change, and put on makeup. Use more rouge on your face, you're too pale..." As soon as he finished speaking, a foolish grin spread across his usually cold face.
The terrifying devil from last night... and the man grinning foolishly before her now...
Gu Susu wrapped her bathrobe tighter and stared at Qin Tianyi. "Are you an idiot? Are you pretending to be foolish? Why are you pretending?"
Qin Tianyi immediately dropped the foolish grin from his face.
He stepped forward, circled behind her, grabbed her shoulders forcefully, and pushed her towards the dressing table. He whispered coldly into her ear, "Knowing I'm a fool, why did you marry me? Is it because you desperately want to be the second young mistress of our Qin family, or is it that no one wants a woman like you?"
Gu Susu trembled all over, turned to look at him, and said angrily, "You, the dignified second young master of the Qin family, bullying a woman by feigning madness, is that amusing?"
Qin Tianyi, still behind her, pressed close again, laughing instead of getting angry. "You call what happened between husband and wife last night 'bullying'? Since you're my wife, can't I have a taste of you?"
Gu Susu's face changed drastically. She felt the heat radiating from him through their clothes and struggled again, trying to escape the dressing table.
Qin Tianyi encircled her neck with his arm and said coldly, "If you want more, I don't have the time to indulge you. Hurry up and put on your makeup. everyone in this mansion is waiting to laugh at me, this fool, and my new bride."
Gu Susu looked at her pale and haggard face in the mirror. Regardless of whether she wanted to face it or not, this was the cruel reality.
She was already married to Qin Tianyi. Not only did they have the title of husband and wife, but they had also consummated their marriage last night. It felt like a dream. She was married and had to face the completely unfamiliar Qin family.
"Let go of me. I won't argue with you. How can I put on makeup if you're strangling me like this?"
Qin Tianyi released her and leaned to the side, waiting for her. He didn't forget to remind her, "Whatever your purpose in marrying me is, if you want to get what you desire, you must cooperate with me in this act. Otherwise, I'll crush you like a cockroach and leave you with no place to be buried!"
"Alright, I understand." Gu Susu knew that no matter if Qin Tianyi was truly foolish or faking it, she couldn't be driven out of the Qin family.
She had to stay in the Qin family, integrate into it, and then find a way to use the Qin family's influence to force her parents to return Xiao Xingxing to her.
