Using power to force marriage

The simple word "home" unexpectedly touched the softest spot in Zhao Jingnian's heart.

The man's fierce aura dissipated considerably in her presence, as he suppressed his inner turmoil.

He pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her hair, his voice gentle, "Don't wait like this next time. If you're sleepy, go to sleep. Don't make yourself suffer."

"Zhao Jingnian, you seem to be in a bad mood."

She reached out to touch the man's furrowed brow, trying to soothe his worries. "What happened at the old house?"

"fine."

Holding her, Zhao Jingnian buried his head in the crook of her neck, wanting some peace and quiet.

"You're lying!"

Ruan Fu wanted to share his burden, even though she couldn't really help much.

But if someone shares the burden, his whole share of pain will become half.

In Ruan Fu's memory, Zhao Jingnian had always been calm, indifferent, and unperturbed. No matter how difficult the merger and acquisition case was, he handled it with ease and grace.

But he's acting very strangely today, so something serious must have happened at the old house.

"Zhao Jingnian, tell me, it will make you feel better if you talk about it."

Whenever she encounters something upsetting, she talks to someone to relieve her discomfort. She believes that keeping things bottled up inside can cause problems.

Ruan Fu has always been passionate and straightforward, unable to keep anything to herself, and even more unable to bear seeing the people she cares about alone in melancholy.

Shouldn't husband and wife share joys and sorrows?

"Don't stay silent, Zhao Jingnian!"

Seeing that he refused to respond, Ruan Fu became increasingly anxious and began to speculate on the reasons one by one.

"Is the company in crisis? Did you argue with Grandpa? Or with Mom and Dad? If none of the above, then Zhao Qi is up to his old tricks again?"

As her questions continued to ring in his ears, Zhao Jingnian's patience gradually wore thin. He spoke in a cold tone, "Xiao Fu, you talk too much."

One sentence instantly extinguished all of Ruan Fu's warmth.

Her heart sank, and she pushed the man in front of her away. "We're husband and wife. Is there anything I can't know?"

Ruan Fu's clear eyes flashed with anger, clearly displeased.

"I was very worried about you when I heard that something happened at the old house, but you didn't tell me anything. You made me wait for you like an idiot until three in the morning."

Zhao Jingnian slowly raised his eyes, looking at the sulking girl in front of him, feeling a bit helpless. "I didn't make you wait."

To be honest, he was a little surprised to see Ruan Fu sleeping on the sofa when he came home.

"So it's my fault for insisting on waiting for you?"

Ruan Fu could no longer suppress her anger. "I just wanted to care about you, but you complained that I talked too much."

Zhao Jingnian felt that she got angry very easily, and the reasons for her anger were always so nonsensical.

He made it very clear on their wedding night that he needed an "air-type partner," and that Ruan Fu shouldn't pry into his privacy; such constant pressure would only annoy him.

The family situation is complicated and messy; what's the point of telling her?

Zhao Jingnian, holding a high position, was used to bearing pressure alone, and besides, he never regarded Ruan Fu as someone he could confide in.

However, it was a business marriage bound by interests. He married her only to complete a family mission, and the two should have kept their distance.

Zhao Jingnian had no intention of arguing with her, so he changed the subject, saying, "Are you sleepy? I'll carry you to bed."

He assumed that Ruan Fu was just being coquettish and silly as usual, and that she would be fine after being coaxed.

Zhao Jingnian reached out to hug her, but she ruthlessly dodged him.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice choked with emotion, "I'm happy that you're good to me, so I want to be good to you too."

I thought their relationship had changed.

Zhao Jingnian's words just now made her suddenly realize that she had been deluding herself.

Ruan Fu waited for him until dawn, worrying about him. Seeing that he was sad, she tried her best to help him, but in the end, she was criticized for talking too much.

It's normal for a pampered little princess to have a temper, and Zhao Jingnian didn't want to argue with her. "Xiao Fu, be good."

She raised her chin, holding back the tears welling up in her eyes. She felt wronged, but didn't want to cry in front of him.

"So what if I'm naughty? Zhao Jingnian! I hate you!"

She was never the kind of gentle, obedient girl, and we hadn't just met on the first day.

Zhao Jingnian said calmly, "It's already very late, don't throw a tantrum."

Ruan Fu was amused by his words, her tone stubborn and arrogant, "Am I making a scene?"

"That's right, I'm just being difficult! If you found me annoying, why did you marry me in the first place?"

She never wanted to marry him in the first place, and on the day they met, she desperately tried to force him to break off the engagement, but he refused.

Didn't you say you'd indulge all her bad habits? It's only been a short time, and you can't stand her anymore? You already find her annoying?

Tears finally broke free and fell like beads from a broken string.

Seeing her cry, Zhao Jingnian suddenly felt a headache coming on.

"Ruan Fu, who spoiled you with your crying and tantrum-prone nature?"

She hastily wiped away her tears, "Myself!"

She spoils herself and does whatever she wants; no one will blame her.

She didn't do anything wrong.

"I want a divorce!"

After saying that, she hurriedly went to get a pet carrier, put her cats and dogs inside, and took them away.

Marriage is a serious matter, not a game. It's really immature of her to bring up divorce at the slightest dissatisfaction.

Zhao Jingnian sighed deeply, thinking that she was young and didn't understand, so he pretended not to hear her say "divorce".

Aunt Sun heard the argument from inside the room, but she didn't dare to come out and intervene. She was just a maid and had no right to interfere in her master's affairs.

She was carrying a carrier to pack the cats and dogs. Zhao Jingnian narrowed his deep eyes, suppressing his emotions as he asked, "Where are you taking them so late?"

"Take them home!"

She called out to Aunt Sun, who was the nanny she had brought, and of course, she had to take her along as well.

In short, she couldn't continue to be in the same space as Zhao Jingnian; she would explode.

It's already four in the morning, how can I let her run wild?

Since Ruan Fu is angry and doesn't want to see him, then he should leave.

"You stay home and get some sleep, I'm leaving."

Hearing him say that made Ruan Fu even angrier.

Zhao Jingnian's overly calm attitude made her seem like an unreasonable madman, which she couldn't stand.

After Zhao Jingnian left, Ruan Fu did not stay there any longer.

She took nothing with her except her cats and dogs, and Aunt Sun.

She originally planned to go straight back to the Ruan family home, where her beloved family members would not find her noisy.

If she goes back to the Ruan family home crying in the early hours of the morning, her parents and siblings will be very worried.

Given the Ruan family's temperament, they would definitely come to Zhao Jingnian to question him immediately.

Even though he wields immense power and the Zhao family holds a high position, the Ruan family will not let him off easily.

Even if it means the collapse of the collaborative project between the two companies, we are willing to pay the price.

At that point, it won't just be a regular argument between husband and wife; it will become a feud between two families.

Ruan Fu cried, her voice trembling, her face flushed and streaked with tears. "Aunt Sun, let's not go home."

She's really grown up and become much more sensible. Two years ago, she would definitely have gone home and thrown a tantrum, complaining about how she felt.

"Aunt Sun, let's go to Yunlan Garden first."

Her private residence.

Zhao Jingnian didn't leave at all; he was still in the car. When he saw Ruan Fu drive away, he was worried and followed her car from a distance.

I escorted her all the way to 'Yunlan Garden' and only felt at ease when I saw the lights on in her villa.

Zhao Jingnian is very tired tonight, completely exhausted.

A major incident occurred at the old house. Zhao Yuzhou was hospitalized. The servants at the old house said that Zhao Qi pushed him down the stairs, and he almost didn't survive.

He disregarded the old man's objections and punished Zhao Qi, leading to a big argument between the two.

"Yuzhou is a cripple. I only have one son, Aqi. You can't touch him until I close my eyes."

These are the old man's exact words, and hearing them is enough to give anyone a heart attack.

After Zhao Yuzhou became disabled, the old man regarded him as an abandoned son, a useless person, and even a disgrace to the Zhao family.

Zhao Jingnian had reached his limit of tolerance for Zhao Qi, and even if it meant bearing the infamy, he was determined to seek justice for Zhao Yuzhou.

So, he had someone break Zhao Qi's leg in front of the old man, and the old man gained another useless son.

This action thoroughly angered the old man, and the two almost came to blows tonight, their relationship now completely broken.

After causing a scene at the old house, Ruan Fu didn't give him a moment's peace even after he got home.

I have a headache and a stomachache.

Zhao Jingnian pinched the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes, and thought about how to coax her.

She seems very angry this time; it will probably take some effort.

The young girl is spoiled and difficult to coax; she bursts into tears at the slightest provocation and always talks about divorce.

Even if he's hard to coax, you still have to coax him, after all, he brought it on himself.

Zhao Jingnian planned to let her calm down first. The girl's temper flared up quickly and subsided just as fast; perhaps she would be fine after a good night's sleep.
