Using power to force marriage

"No rush."

A man's deep, husky voice rang out in the excessively quiet carriage.

Ruan Fu: ?

"It's not too late to fulfill your marital obligations after you've adjusted and are ready, but if you're really in a hurry..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ruan Fu interrupted him angrily, "Who's in a hurry?"

Her heart was pounding, and embarrassment lingered on her bright face.

"I...I'm really not in a hurry!"

Staring at her pink ears, Zhao Jingnian smiled slightly.

His gaze fell upon her, and Ruan Fu completely broke down.

People tend to raise their voices when they are in an extremely awkward situation.

"Zhao Jingnian! What's with that expression?"

She pouted, her words tumbling out incoherently, "No, I'm not in a hurry! This, that voice message just now... it wasn't me, it wasn't my best friend... she was... I didn't want to sleep with you."

She speaks with a drawn-out tone, carrying a hint of coquettishness and whining.

"Don't overthink it!" she warned, pointing her finger at the man's nose.

Ruan Fu felt like she couldn't clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River. At that moment, she really wanted to throw her phone out the window and smash it to pieces.

The atmosphere in the carriage was strange. Ruan Fu pulled up the collar of her suit jacket, buried half her face in the jacket, and slowly turned her back, trying to minimize her presence as much as possible, wishing she could crawl under the train.

Zhao Jingnian believes that it is a very normal thing for couples to talk about their sex life, and there is no need to be embarrassed.

"Weddings are exhausting, and you must be tired too, so let's call it a day. Let me know whenever you want to do it in a couple of days."

What a joke! Who wants to be with him?!

Ruan Fu pretended to be deaf, curled up close to the car door, and did not respond.

Does this old man think he's quite understanding?

-

Upon arriving at Xiyue Manor, as soon as the car came to a stop, Ruan Fu wrapped himself in his oversized suit jacket, quickly opened the car door, and ran into the villa.

Zhao Jingnian slowly got out of the car, staring at her fleeing figure, a playful smile curving his lips.

His new wife is funny and lovely.

The manor is a simple yet grand new Chinese style, just like Zhao Jingnian's personality: open, noble, and aloof.

The main hall, several meters high, is bright and airy. Upon entering, one can see various antique porcelains and calligraphy and paintings by famous artists displayed on ebony display shelves.

The overall color scheme of the room was rather somber, but when Ruan Fu looked around, she noticed that there were many potted plants in the room.

The bright, vibrant green balances out the cold gray and white, and a place with life feels more like home.

Ruan Fu thought to herself: I didn't expect the old man to be so fond of life. So many green plants, he has quite the leisure and refined taste.

"Bubble, copy and paste!"

Ruan Fu's pet West Highland kitten is named Bubble, and her two golden shaded kittens are twins from the same mother, named Copy and Paste.

Seeing her son and daughter instantly brightened her mood. She excitedly ran over and let the cats and dogs out of their cages.

"Mom's back! Did you miss me all day?"

The three little ones were so excited when they saw her that they kept jumping on her.

"Aunt Sun, please don't put them in cages anymore, especially Bubble. It's mischievous and will be unhappy if it's in a cage."

Aunt Sun, the nanny, was brought from the Ruan family and had been with her for many years. Aunt Sun had taken care of her throughout her studies abroad and knew her lifestyle and eating habits best.

Including the three little ones, they were all raised with the help of Aunt Sun.

"I originally wanted to let them out, but considering that this is not the Ruan family home, I was afraid that Mr. Zhao would not like cats and dogs running around in the house, so I put them in cages for now."

After saying that, Zhao Jingnian stepped through the door and entered.

The first thing you see is Ruan Fu squatting on the ground playing with cats and dogs, her laughter clear and bright.

"If he doesn't like my babies, then he can move out, or we can get a divorce."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jingnian's expression turned cold.

It's hardly a good thing that a newlywed wife is thinking about divorce on the very first day of their marriage.

"Before we got married, I told him at least ten thousand times that we weren't a good match, but he was stubborn and insisted on marrying me."

"I wouldn't stoop to his level for him. Who does Zhao Jingnian even matter?"

The older man wouldn't listen to advice and insisted on marrying her, so Ruan Fu could do whatever she wanted after marriage without worrying about whether he was happy or not.

"If you're unhappy, just get a divorce. I'd love to."

Aunt Sun: "Oh my dear, you can't say such things on such a joyous occasion, it's taboo."

"This is your home, and it's their home too," came Zhao Jingnian's voice from behind.

Ruan Fu turned around.

Bubbles splashed around his feet, but the man showed no impatience; instead, his eyes softened.

"They can move around freely, but there must be fixed times and fixed places for them to move around."

Zhao Jingnian doesn't object to her keeping pets, but he is a person with a strong sense of order, and everything must be done according to rules.

For example, it's absolutely unacceptable for cats and dogs to run around the house without any order all day long, as this will disrupt the peace of the home.

"What if I disagree?"

Ruan Fu felt he was being domineering. "What fixed time? They're not your company employees, they have no obligation to obey your orders."

That old man is being way too nosy. I've never heard of cats and dogs working nine-to-five.

After being rebuked by her, Zhao Jingnian sighed softly.

His new wife was much more difficult to deal with than he had expected, and trying to reason with her didn't seem to work.

If that's the case, then we'll need to use some special methods.

Zhao Jingnian took a card out of his trouser pocket, reached out and took Ruan Fu's hand, placing the card in her palm.

"For the stability and longevity of our marriage, we must establish rules."

Ruan Fu was somewhat disdainful. She was a person of principle. Did they think they could force her to compromise by throwing money at her? No way!

She glanced down at the card in her palm and asked, "How much money is in this card?"

"It wasn't much, just 300 million. It was a wedding gift from the husband to his wife."

Zhao Jingnian's tone was flat and indifferent. "Tell me when you're done spending it, and I'll make sure you have plenty."

Three hundred million?!

The amount was considerable, and Ruan Fu was very satisfied.

She wasn't someone who was greedy for money, but Zhao Jingnian gave her far too much.

Just then, her pet medical center and rescue station needed a large amount of capital investment in the early stages, and Zhao Jingnian's 300 million yuan was a timely help.

"Spend your money as you like, I need an air-type partner."

The older man is very generous, so let's reluctantly give him face.

Ruan Fu: "When you're at work, they can roam freely, and after you get off work they can go back into their cages. Is that alright?"

Zhao Jingnian hummed in agreement. "That makes sense."

She only went along with his so-called rules because of the money; otherwise, she wouldn't have complied with them.

Ruan Fu accepted the money, unable to hide her joy. "By the way, what did you mean by 'air-type partner'?"

Simply put, Zhao Jingnian needs Ruan Fu to minimize her presence, to have boundaries, and to know her limits.

Strictly respect the other party's private space and do not interfere with their life, work, or interpersonal relationships for any reason.

For him, marriage was a job.

"In front of outsiders, we need to play the role of a loving couple, but in private, I think we can get along just like colleagues."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Fu smiled and teased, "Colleagues? Does Mr. Zhao have sex with his colleagues?"
