Using power to force marriage

At 2 p.m., Ruan Fu's Ferrari was parked in front of the Zhao's Building in a very high-profile manner.

The towering corporate building is magnificent and imposing, gleamingly displaying the absolute wealth of its owner.

Ruan Fu carried an exquisite cake gift box, dressed elegantly and eye-catchingly, with Chanel sunglasses on her face, exuding a bright and flamboyant temperament.

She walked straight to the front desk, but since it was her first time at the company, the receptionist didn't recognize her.

The receptionist politely stood up and asked, "Excuse me, miss, who are you looking for?"

She casually adjusted her sunglasses with her fingertips. "I'm looking for your boss."

"Excuse me, do you have an appointment?"

A few days ago, the headlines in Beicheng were filled with news of the marriage between the two families, and the front page featured a wedding photo of her and Zhao Jingnian. Everyone in the city knew about it.

Ruan Fu took off her sunglasses so that the receptionist could easily recognize her.

The receptionist recognized the woman in front of her as the boss's wife, and her attitude instantly became extremely respectful. She quickly led the way and personally escorted her into the chairman's private elevator.

The elevator climbed steadily and came to a stop at the top floor.

While she was riding the elevator, the front desk had already notified the general assistant, Yu Ming.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Yu Ming, who was waiting outside, immediately stepped forward and bowed to greet them.

"Is your boss inside?" Ruan Fu asked casually.

"Yes, madam, the chairman is currently handling work."

She nodded, without the slightest hesitation, "I need to talk to him about something."

Zhao Jingnian was kept up until late last night by her and barely got any rest. He rushed to the company early this morning to handle complicated matters, and he was already prone to feeling sleepy in the afternoon.

Hearing the door open, she assumed it was Yu Ming coming in, so without even looking up, she casually ordered, "Make a cup of coffee."

Ruan Fu's delicate high heels made a crisp sound as they stepped on the marble floor.

"If you don't have coffee, how about cake?" Her soft, sweet voice rang out in the room.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jingnian looked up, his eyes revealing surprise.

Why did she suddenly come to the company?

Ruan Fu walked to the desk and placed the cake on the table.

"I've come to apologize to you." She hung her head, looking like she had done something wrong.

This was the first time Zhao Jingnian had seen her so well-behaved, and he found it quite novel.

He watched her calmly, waiting for her to continue her explanation.

Ruan Fu explained the incident from last night to him, "I didn't cheat on you. The video was faked. I just went to see the band's performance last night and didn't do anything."

She really didn't do anything; someone deliberately set her up. Ruan Fu never expected it to become a trending topic.

Regardless, the whole thing started because of her. Going to a nightclub the day after her wedding is definitely her fault.

Although Ruan Fu has many flaws, she also has many strengths.

For example, she is good at admitting and correcting her mistakes. She has been mischievous since childhood and has made many mistakes, but she has also admitted her mistakes many times. She has long since mastered the skill of apologizing.

"I never let anyone feed me alcohol; it was all just camera tricks. Even if I was unwilling to enter into this marriage, I would never do anything to betray you. I have my own bottom line and sense of propriety."

Zhao Jingnian sneered coldly. He didn't care whether Ruan Fu had drunk alcohol fed by other men or not. It would be a laughing stock to argue about something that happened between two singers at the same bar.

"If I hadn't picked you up last night, were you planning to stay out all night?" His innate powerful aura exerted an invisible pressure on people.

Ruan Fu bit her lip, but did not deny it.

That was indeed her plan last night.

"I've already apologized, so please stop making a fuss about it."

She apologized verbally, but secretly thought to herself, "Why is this old man so hard to coax?"

She was just at a bar having drinks, chatting, and listening to music with her friends; the trending topic was just an accident.

Ruan Fu walked around the desk, stood in front of him, and tugged at his clothes in a coquettish manner, swaying back and forth.

She is very good at apologizing and coaxing people. Every time she makes a mistake, she uses this trick, and her parents and siblings all fall for it.

"Please forgive me, I know I was wrong. To make amends, I made a cake myself."

Zhao Jingnian's gaze fell on the eye-catching brand logo on the cake box, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Made by hand?

Her little scheme was easily seen through, but Zhao Jingnian didn't expose it.

In any case, it's good that she's willing to put in the effort for him.

"Try it quickly, it took me two or three hours to make." She couldn't wait for Zhao Jingnian to taste it.

The man said calmly, "I don't like sweets, but I appreciate your kind gesture."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Fu immediately became anxious.

Not eating the cake means I don't want to forgive her.

Ruan Fu quickly opened the cake box and enthusiastically introduced it to him, "It's not sweet at all. I specially chose a low-sugar recipe. You have to take a bite."

As she spoke, she picked up a small spoon, scooped up a spoonful of cream, and held it directly to his lips. "If you don't eat it, it means you're still angry and won't forgive me."

Zhao Jingnian stared at the spoonful of cream, his tone teasing and mocking, "Was the cake poisoned?"

Based on Ruan Fu's usual attitude towards him, Zhao Jingnian had reason to suspect her true intentions behind her sudden show of goodwill.

"What kind of poison is this!" Without hesitation, she put the spoonful of cake into her mouth and swallowed it, then immediately scooped out another spoonful and handed it to him.

Her tone was aggrieved, yet tinged with a hint of coquettishness, "I've already tested the poison on myself, so you can rest assured now, right?"

In his eyes, what happened last night was a trivial matter, not worth mentioning at all.

However, Ruan Fu was young and inexperienced, and since the cooperation between the two families was of utmost importance, she took it very seriously.

However, since she took the initiative to admit her mistake, Zhao Jingnian went along with it.

This is a good opportunity to give her a little warning, so she'll remember it and cause less trouble.

"Do you know you were wrong?"

Ruan Fu nodded repeatedly, trying to please her, and said, "I understand."

"What did I do wrong?" He deliberately kept a cold face, waiting for her answer.

Ruan Fu pouted and said softly, "I was too careless. I didn't even know I was being secretly filmed. I should have stayed in the private room, but the private room wasn't as lively as the booth."

Zhao Jingnian suddenly sneered, angered by her words.

"Ruan Fu, I don't think you're here to apologize; you're here to provoke me."

"No, that's not true! I sincerely apologize." She looked dejected, like a deflated balloon.

"Please don't tell my parents, okay?"

He thought she was apologizing because she was afraid he would be angry, but he never expected that he was just being presumptuous. Zhao Jingnian almost laughed at his own stupidity.

She came to apologize only because she was afraid he would tell her parents.

He's not that free, and he doesn't have the habit of tattling.

"Then you'd better behave yourself from now on and cause less trouble."

Ruan Fu also heard about it; last night, the entire public relations department was working overtime because of her.

She felt quite guilty and raised her hand as if to swear, "I promise."

"Um."

"Would you like some cake?" Ruan Fu looked at him expectantly.

Zhao Jingnian opened his mouth slightly and ate the cake she fed him.

Seeing that he was willing to eat, Ruan Fu immediately smiled and scooped up another spoonful and handed it to him.

"Then eat more, you have to finish the whole piece, that's how you'll truly forgive me."

He doesn't like sweets, and the portion size of a whole piece is too large; he's afraid he'll get sick of eating it all.

"I'll leave it here and eat it slowly."

"So you're not angry anymore, are you?"

Zhao Jingnian hadn't really bothered with her anyway.

"I'm quite busy, I don't have time to be angry."

Only after receiving his reassuring response did Ruan Fu feel relieved.

"By the way, I heard from Aunt Sun that I drank too much last night, and you took care of me."

Ruan Fu feigned a well-behaved demeanor and thanked him, "Thank you for your hard work. I didn't act crazy while drunk, did I?"

Zhao Jingnian said calmly, "I've played along."

"Huh?" She panicked, her face filled with unease.

"What did I do?"

"You kissed me." A hint of barely perceptible mockery lingered in the man's eyes.

"Aaaaaah, this is impossible!" Ruan Fu let out a sharp, explosive cry.

She suddenly felt a little lost and didn't know how to defend herself.

She genuinely doesn't remember what happened last night; she blacked out after drinking too much.

"Although I can't hold my liquor well, I'm quite polite when I'm drunk." Ruan Fu became suspicious and reasonably suspected that Zhao Jingnian was lying to her.

"You're lying! I would never kiss you."

Zhao Jingnian's eyes darkened. "I'm not that bored."

Yeah, he's not that bored.

The older man was indifferent and aloof, always serious and proper, and reserved; he didn't seem like the type to joke with her like that.

Ruan Fu was filled with remorse. She had only had a couple of drinks and hadn't expected that she would become so brazen after drinking too much.

"Well...we're husband and wife, so a kiss shouldn't be a problem, right?" She bit her lower lip, glancing at Zhao Jingnian's face with some embarrassment.

He was working with his head down, his face expressionless and cold, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

Ruan Fu pouted, looking aggrieved, and said, "Then what should I do? I've already kissed you. If you're really bothered by it, I'll let you kiss me back?"

Mentioning that kiss brings back vivid memories of last night's warm, soft touch.

Zhao Jingnian felt as if her fragrance still lingered around his nose. His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and a strange heat suddenly surged through his previously cool body.

She leaned down and brought her face close to Zhao Jingnian's, ready to let him kiss her back. Her eyes were tightly closed, and she looked resolute, as if she were going to her death for a noble cause.

Sudden……

"That's not right! Forces are reciprocal, and so is the effect of a kiss."

Ruan Fu has her own unique logic; she tends to reflect less on herself and more on blaming others.

"You said I kissed you, so you kissed me too."

She frowned slightly, giving him a reproachful look, "It was just lips touching lips anyway. What if I insisted that you secretly kissed me while I was drunk?"

Zhao Jingnian was amused by her nonsensical logic, put down his work, and looked up at her.

"If you feel you've been taken advantage of, you can kiss me back."

Retort with what she just said.

Ruan Fu stared at his face, which was so close to hers. He had a handsome face with a refined bone structure and a clear complexion. She had to admit that the older man was quite handsome.

Her gaze slowly fell on Zhao Jingnian's lips, and she couldn't help but swallow.

She figured she might as well take advantage of the freebie, since she was genuinely quite attracted to Zhao Jingnian's physique.

Ruan Fu leaned down and boldly leaned out to kiss the man on the chair.

As they drew closer, her familiar sweet scent enveloped him first.

As he bent over, strands of hair fell beside his ears, the soft, delicate ends gently brushing against his neck.

It felt tingly and numb, like feathers, repeatedly tickling and making the man's throat tighten.

Her soft, pink lips gently covered his, their breaths mingling, and Zhao Jingnian could clearly feel her slightly rapid, hot breath.

Her kiss was awkward and she dared not make any excessive moves, only lightly touching his lips to hers, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

She didn't dare linger for long; after about two or three seconds, she tried to flee in a panic.

But Zhao Jingnian suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of her neck with his large hand, deepening the kiss.

The palm was scalding hot, and although the force wasn't rough, it carried an unyielding strength that wouldn't let her escape, forcefully pressing her back as she tried to retreat.

Ruan Fu never expected that the calm and composed man sitting upright in his office chair would suddenly turn the tables and launch an attack.

She panicked, her eyelashes trembled violently, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of her chest.

She instinctively tried to dodge, but he held the back of her neck firmly, leaving her no way out but to let him deepen the kiss.

Zhao Jingnian's original cold aura completely collapsed, and an indescribable tide of emotion surged in his deep and unfathomable eyes, almost greedily possessing her entire aura.

Ruan Fu didn't know how long the kiss lasted, only that she was kissed to the point of almost suffocation, and her breathing became completely erratic.

Afterwards, her lips were bright red, and her eyes seemed to be brimming with tears, making her look very pitiful.

"I only kissed you lightly, why did you have to kiss me so hard? My lips hurt from your bite." Ruan Fu's voice trembled softly as she accused him of his crime with a soft, coquettish tone.

"So delicate."

"You're too fierce."

Zhao Jingnian's eyes gleamed with lingering desire, and his voice was deep and husky, "Then I'll be gentler next time."

Ruan Fu didn't want a next time with him. "Hmph! You wish! We're even now."

She quickly took a few steps away in her high heels, afraid that Zhao Jingnian would grab her and kiss her again.

His office was spacious and luxurious, with exquisite and grand furnishings throughout. It was Ruan Fu's first time visiting his office, and she was quite curious.

She tilted her head to look at the man. "Did you arrange all of this yourself?"

Before he could answer, she asked softly, "May I look around?"

Zhao Jingnian replied casually and indulgently, "Whatever."

His office has many valuable ornaments and a small wine cabinet.

Feeling a little tipsy after a tiring day at work?

Ruan Fu thought to herself: This old man really knows how to enjoy life.

It must be said that his office was decorated very well; Ruan Fu quite liked this style.

After a while, her pet medical center will be able to open for business.

As the dean and attending physician, Ruan Fu certainly needs to have a decent office.

Now that we have an office, we naturally need to put some decent decorations there.

She would have to spend money to buy it herself, and her money doesn't come from thin air. It would be much better to just take what's readily available.

"Can you give me this vintage phonograph?" she asked.

Zhao Jingnian didn't look up, and replied, "Take it."

"Could you give me this Hetian jade pebble sculpture as a gift?"

"Um."

The old man is indeed generous; in that case, I'll take more.

Who told him to bully her earlier? Her mouth still hurts.

"I also like this glass sculpture."

"This antique Western clock is so exquisite."

"Your bonsai on your desk is really well-maintained."

Looking up and around, I noticed that the antique hand-carved relief murals hanging on the wall were also beautiful.

"Zhao Jingnian, can I have these, and those too?"

The man listened to the chattering voices around him, looked up with a helpless expression, and said, "They've come here to buy goods?"
