Using power to force marriage

Back at the Xiyue Manor, Ruan Fu was still sullen and unwilling to talk to him.

"Zhao Jingnian, you are not allowed to sleep in the master bedroom tonight."

She threw his pillow off the bed, saying, "You don't deserve to lie in the same bed with me until you promise to give me a proper proposal."

The man, who had just finished showering, looked at her aggressive and volatile demeanor and slightly raised an eyebrow. "Just because you saw someone else's proposal, you feel you have to have one too?"

"Of course!"

She was spoiled from a young age; her parents raised her very well, giving her everything she wanted, and she never envied anyone else.

But when she saw someone else's marriage proposal, she felt a pang of sadness and resentment.

Why should this old man be able to marry such a young, beautiful, kind, and intelligent wife without even proposing? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

"Anyway, you're not sleeping with me tonight, I hate you!" she tried to punish this unromantic old man.

Ruan Fu's threats were utterly harmless to him. The house was his, the bed was his, and the wife was his. He could sleep whenever he wanted, and who could stop him?

Zhao Jingnian slowly walked to the bedside and sat down, reaching out to encircle her soft waist and pulling her into his arms, his movements somewhat forceful.

"Sleeping in separate rooms will affect the relationship between husband and wife, I disagree."

Ruan Fu laughed angrily, "It's no use if you disagree."

The man's large hands restrained her two struggling hands. His Xiao Fu was impatient and didn't even wait for him to finish speaking.

"Don't get angry yet, I didn't say I wouldn't make it up."

He asked slowly, "Tell me, what kind of proposal ceremony do you want?"

Upon hearing his words, Ruan Fu's eyes suddenly lit up. "You really promised to give me a proper proposal ceremony?"

Would you be happy if I held a wedding ceremony?

"Of course!"

"Okay, then let's do it."

After all, he had personally promised that he would grant his wife's every request.

Ruan Fu pursed her lips, thought about it seriously for a moment, and then made a wish to him.

"I want my proposal to take place in a beautiful castle with a whole field of pink flowers, and there should be drones and fireworks."

Zhao Jingnian listened with interest to her beautiful fantasies, a look of indulgence in his eyes. "Is that all you ask for?"

Isn't that enough?

Ruan Fu was a little confused by his question. "That's all I can think of for now: a castle, a sea of ​​flowers, drones, and fireworks. We can't do without any of them."

He nodded slightly. "I've got it. I won't miss a single one."

It was just a marriage proposal ceremony, and the requests she made were easy for Zhao Jingnian to fulfill; they weren't difficult at all.

What Fufu wants, Fufu gets.

It's worth spending some time and effort to make her happy.

The next morning, when Zhao Jingnian arrived at the company, He Jinbai was already waiting for him.

Although the He family is wealthy and influential in Beicheng, in terms of capital scale and family heritage, it is ultimately no match for the Zhao family.

He did not know why Zhao Jingnian had summoned him, so he asked very respectfully.

Zhao Jingnian, with a composed and dignified demeanor and an indifferent expression, said, "Send away your arrogant nephew of yours."

He Jinbai: "You mean He Yiheng?"

This kid has only been back in the country for two days, and his injuries haven't even fully healed yet. How did he manage to offend a top figure like Zhao Jingnian?

"Send them as far away as possible."

He Jinbai had no choice but to apologize repeatedly and assure Zhao Jingnian that he would arrange things properly.

Suddenly, he heard Ruan Fu's words from that night echoing in his ears: she said He Yiheng was her friend and told him not to bully her.

Zhao Jingnian didn't care about He Yiheng's life or death, but he was afraid that Ruan Fu would be unhappy about it.

This idiot isn't having an easy time being a child born out of wedlock. Considering their friendship of over ten years, Zhao Jingnian added, "Just arrange a job for him that he can't take off and can't go back to China. Don't make things difficult for him."

He Jinbai frowned. Although he couldn't quite figure out the man's temper, he could only do as he was told.

After leaving the Zhao Group, he went to He Yiheng's residence without delay, fearing that it would implicate the He family's business.

He Jinbai was quite efficient; he called at 5 p.m. to say that he had sent He Yiheng to South America and that he was on a plane.

After getting rid of the annoying idiot, Zhao Jingnian's mood improved considerably.

-

I called Qi Xiao yesterday morning, but his phone was switched off.

This morning, after Ruan Fu woke up, she called him again.

As for why Zhao Jingnian doesn't celebrate his birthday, you can only ask him.

The call was answered smoothly this time, and a lazy, deep voice came through the receiver.

"Who is it?"

"I am Ruan Fu."

Upon hearing this name, the man on the other end of the phone became more serious. "Sister-in-law?"

Qi Xiao and Ruan Fu were not familiar with each other, having only met once at a wedding. Why would she suddenly call him?

He's currently in New Zealand on his girlfriend's graduation trip and isn't in China. His phone was off yesterday because he was on the plane.

"Qi Xiao, you and Zhao Jingnian are childhood friends, you must know everything about him, right?"

"Of course, sister-in-law, what do you want to know?"

He asked jokingly, "Are you asking about my brother's romantic history? Don't worry, sister-in-law, my brother has no romantic history. He's never been involved in any ambiguous relationships, never dated, and has never slept with any other woman."

Ruan Fu was amused; she knew about this without even asking.

"Do you know why Zhao Jingnian doesn't celebrate his birthday?"

After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.

"Sister-in-law, why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"

"I wanted to celebrate his birthday, but he said he never celebrates his birthday. I asked Yu Ming, but he was too scared to answer, so I came to ask you."

Qi Xiao was shocked. "Sister-in-law, how dare you mention my brother's birthday in front of him? It's a taboo subject for him; even I don't dare to bring it up easily."

A few years ago, he was still young and immature. He insisted on celebrating Zhao Jingnian's birthday and then got beaten up.

From then on, Qi Xiao became completely obedient and never dared to mention the word "birthday" in front of him again.

"Sister-in-law, you suggested celebrating his birthday, and he wasn't angry?"

"No, he just said he never celebrates his birthday and told me not to worry about it."

Upon hearing Ruan Fu's words, Qi Xiao almost doubted his hearing.

He was Zhao Jingnian's best brother, and Ruan Fu could even mention things that Zhao Jingnian couldn't.

Qi Xiao originally thought that Zhao Jingnian married her only to complete a family mission, and that his kindness towards her was only out of a sense of responsibility and good upbringing.

Upon hearing those words, Qi Xiao suddenly realized that Zhao Jingnian's feelings for this marriage partner, whom he had no affection for, were quite unusual; her importance seemed to have surpassed that of his childhood friend.

"So, what exactly happened? Can you tell me?"

Qi Xiao was a little worried, hesitating whether he should speak. If Zhao Jingnian found out, he would probably have his tongue pulled out.

Fine, let them pull out the tongue.

"Birthdays are my brother's scar, because Uncle Yuzhou's leg was crippled on his sixth birthday."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Fu's heart tightened, and her expression turned serious.

Is Zhao Yuzhou's disability in both legs related to Zhao Jingnian?

A young girl's voice came from the other end of the phone, calling him to come over and help take pictures.

He's on a graduation trip with his girlfriend and isn't currently in the country; this is a matter that can't be explained in just a few words.

"Sister-in-law, let's talk in detail when I get back to China."

Qi Xiao sighed deeply, "Anyway, no one can heal this scar on my brother."

After hanging up the phone, Ruan Fu felt an unbearable burning sensation in her internal organs.

She was deeply saddened and found it difficult to breathe.

Suddenly, the words Zhao Jing had spoken to her some time ago came to mind.

He mocked himself, saying that he had harmed his own relatives, that the old man and Zhao Qi had been dealt with by him, and that the restless collateral branches of the Zhao family had also met a bad end.

He also said that Zhao Yuzhou's legs were thanks to him.

Ruan Fu initially thought he was joking and deliberately trying to scare her.

But now it seems that this was no joke.
