The abstinent and powerful minister is cold and aloof during the day, but he adores her in his dream

Chapter 174 Your husband can only be me!
Zhiwan hissed, covered her lips, and glared at him angrily, "It hurts! Why did you bite me?"

The man paused, suppressing the urge to examine her, and sat down on the edge of the bed. Instead of answering her question, he asked calmly, "What have you been doing these past few days?"

"Do I need to report to you what I do?" Zhiwan turned away angrily.

Looking at the girl's bare back, the man paused, then hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. "Are you angry, hmm?"

"Let me take a couple of bites, try it?" Zhiwan turned her head away, annoyed.

"Okay, go ahead and bite it," the man said indulgently.

Upon hearing this, Zhiwan's gaze fell on his thin lips. She was about to lean in to retaliate when she suddenly stopped, thinking of something. She scoffed, "I'm not that stupid. I wouldn't sleep with you... um!"

Before she could finish speaking, the man kissed her lips.

A man's kiss is domineering yet tender.

Her delicate, butterfly-like eyelashes trembled, and she almost lost herself in his kiss.

But she soon remembered that her aunt was already looking for a suitable husband for her, and she had gone to meet some potential partners with her these past two days. If nothing unexpected happened, her marriage would be settled soon.

Under these circumstances, how could she continue to entangle herself with this man?

Thinking of this, she was about to push the man away when she felt the straps of her bodice loosen on her back.

She was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she felt the man's warm hand caress her smooth back, slip inside her bodice, and then cover it.

A thunderous sound went through Zhiwan's mind, and she instinctively bit the man hard.

A muffled groan escaped her lips as the man pulled away, his dark eyes fixed on her with an unreadable expression.

Zhiwan was both ashamed and angry. She angrily pulled his hand away, jumped off the bed, grabbed her outer robe, and quickly put it on. "I'm getting married soon, so you're not allowed to come looking for me again!"

"Married?" The man's dark eyes narrowed. "So, you've already found a suitable husband?"

The man's tone was nonchalant, but Zhiwan inexplicably felt a sense of danger.

She instinctively took two steps back.

But considering that things had to end between them, he nodded seriously, "Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the man stood up, his voice cold and intimidating, "I won't allow it!"

"Why don't you allow it?" Zhiwan asked incredulously.

The man paused, then said slowly, "Didn't you want to find a husband to marry into your family? Then you don't need to look for anyone else; I'm willing to marry into your family!"

Zhiwan was taken aback. "Why? Didn't you say before that you were the only son in your family and that it was impossible for you to marry into the family?"

"Times have changed! My father has a concubine's son, so I am no longer an only child. I don't need to carry on the family line." As the man said this, his dark eyes looked at her quietly.

Zhiwan was taken aback, then exclaimed in surprise, "Your father also secretly kept a mistress and had a child with her?"

"Hmm." The man nodded, watching her reaction.

To everyone's surprise, Zhiwan didn't think anything of it. She just clenched her fist and said indignantly, "Men are all the same!"

Her uncle was like that, and so was this man's father.

There is no such thing as a good man who stays faithful to one woman forever.

A vein throbbed on the man's forehead. "You shouldn't generalize and condemn everyone."

Upon hearing this, Zhiwan crossed her arms and glanced at him sideways. "You mean to say that you're the exception?"

"I can't say I'm any better, but I would never take a concubine or keep a mistress," the man said in a deep voice. "That's easier said than done!" Zhiwan scoffed, not believing him at all.

My uncle and aunt were very loving. Even though my uncle was tricked by Aunt Wang, it did not erase the fact that he betrayed my aunt. Moreover, he and Aunt Wang even had a child together.

She used to envy the relationship between her aunt and uncle.

But now, she no longer believes that there is such a thing as a lifelong, monogamous relationship in this world.

Thinking of this, she decisively said, "I have already found a suitable candidate for a live-in wife. You are not suitable, and I don't want you. You should choose another good wife."

man:"……"

He raised his hand and rubbed his temples. "Why are we not a good match?"

“How are we compatible?” Zhiwan retorted. “I’m taking in a husband because I want to live a good life. Someone like you is simply not suitable for a life together.”

"If I'm not suitable, then what kind of person is suitable?" The man suppressed his anxiety and asked with a frown.

"At least he should be honest and upright." Zhiwan crossed her arms and looked him up and down.

Although she couldn't see his face clearly, he had a great physique, which she liked. However, the man didn't seem like the honest and reliable type from beginning to end. She couldn't handle him. Playing around was fine, but living as a live-in husband would be terrible.

Seeing that she wasn't joking, the man pursed his thin lips and reminded her in a deep voice, "But we've done so many intimate things..." Just two days ago on the deserted island, this girl was flirting with him in all sorts of ways, even being quite bold... But now, she's breaking up with him so decisively, clearly she was just playing around with him.

Realizing this, the man's expression turned very ugly.

"So what?" Zhiwan didn't care at all. "Don't all men have three wives and four concubines? But what happened between you and me happened before marriage. After marriage, I turned over a new leaf and only stayed with my live-in husband."

The man laughed in exasperation, "Live-in husband, live-in husband, it's not even a proper match yet, and you're already calling him that so casually! You don't care, but if your live-in husband knew you'd had intimate relations with other men, wouldn't he mind?"

"Are you threatening me?" Zhiwan's face darkened, and she lowered her hand.

"I'm just stating the facts," the man said calmly.

Zhiwan was so angry she wanted to hit someone, but considering the difference in their heights, she had to give up the idea.

This man didn't know who she was or where she lived.

Fortunately, she had been careful not to reveal her personal information.

This man is now trying to use their relationship to threaten her, but she's not afraid.

She said sarcastically, "You have no manners. I thought that even if we didn't become husband and wife, we would still be friends. I thought you would definitely bless me when I got married, but I didn't expect you to threaten me."

The man's eye twitched slightly. He suddenly took two steps closer, pinning her against the table. His long, slender fingers traced her smooth face as his voice was deep and seductive, "Be good, don't choose anyone else. Your husband can only be me!"

His sudden touch sent shivers down Zhiwan's spine, almost making her lose herself. Fortunately, she still had her senses and pushed him away, saying, "My mind is made up, nothing you say will make a difference."

The man looked at her, his head throbbing, and said, "Weren't you happy when you were with me?"

“I am very happy.” Zhiwan nodded, admitting this point. “But you are really not suitable to be my live-in husband. You look like someone of high status and importance. Why would you lower yourself to be my live-in husband?”

Zhiwan couldn't understand it.

Moreover, it was agreed at the time that the two were only having a fleeting relationship.

If she had known he would get involved, she should have broken up with him back then.

The man paused for a moment before saying, "Because you are the only girl who has made me consider marrying you, I can't live without you!"
