Using power to force marriage

Afterwards, Zhao Jingnian changed the sheets and held her to sleep.

She didn't make a fuss for too long tonight because she could tell that Ruan Fu was preoccupied and in a bad mood, so she didn't bother her much.

In bed, he paid close attention to Ruan Fu's feelings, showing a strong sense of service by constantly asking questions and adjusting his position and intensity.

Held in his arms, Ruan Fu nestled in his embrace. Although she was exhausted and weak, she couldn't fall asleep.

"Zhao Jingnian, where did you learn that from?"

"Um?"

Hearing her question, the man couldn't help but frown.

Ruan Fu's face still had a faint blush, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed when she thought about what had just happened.

Zhao Jingnian opened the door to a new world for her tonight, a feeling she had never experienced before, quite different from anything she had done before.

He wasn't lying, it really felt comfortable and wonderful.

At first, Ruan Fu was tense and stiff, but gradually, under his gentle advances, she began to surrender and give up.

"I mean, where did you learn your skills in bed?"

He smiled and kissed her cheek. "Is that a compliment?"

This kind of thing doesn't need to be taught; I figured it out myself.

Ruan Fu was amused by him and reached out to poke his pectoral muscles. "Zhao Jingnian, you're so narcissistic."

No one would boast about their own high level of understanding.

If you weren't perceptive, how could you serve her so comfortably?

Seeing that she was still wide awake, the man asked, "Aren't you tired? Aren't you sleepy?"

Since we're not sleepy, let's chat.

"Baby, tell me, why are you unhappy?"

Ruan Fu ran her fingers over her abs. "No, I'm very happy."

She was indeed in a much better mood than before, but the faint trace of sorrow in her eyes still lingered.

"Maybe I've been too tired these past few days. Now that you're back, why don't you stay with me in Nancheng for a couple more days, show me around, and give me some good food? That will make me happy."

Zhao Jingnian also planned to stay with her in Nancheng, and all his work arrangements were made.

"Is it really just because I didn't play with you?"

She nodded. "Of course it's true."

To prevent him from asking more questions, Ruan Fu pretended to be angry and pinched his waist.

"You keep asking, it's so annoying. My life is going smoothly, there's nothing going wrong with me."

Indeed, she lived a life of luxury, surrounded by the love of family and friends, and had nothing to be unhappy about.

Perhaps he was overthinking it.

Soon, her breathing became long and even, and she fell asleep in his arms.

-

The next day.

Zhao Jingnian woke up very early and went to his study after getting up.

He's in the southern part of the city, and all his work has been moved online.

After the New York project was signed, a meeting was held to arrange the follow-up work.

A video conference was in progress when Qi Xiao barged in without knocking.

"Old Zhao, Old Zhao, I just..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Jingnian glared at him, cutting him off.

Hearing the sound of a work report coming from the computer, I immediately lowered my voice, "I didn't know you were in a meeting."

He didn't leave the study, but walked over to the sofa and sat down.

Zhao Jingnian ignored him and returned his attention to the computer screen to continue the meeting.

In the study, Yu Ming was organizing documents when he witnessed the whole thing, and a chill ran down his spine.

Qi Xiao is a real troublemaker. His boss was in a meeting, and this guy just barged in with a megaphone.

He gestured to Qi Xiao with his eyes, telling him to stop making any noise and just sit quietly on the sofa and wait.

If he angers Zhao Jingnian, he won't get away with it.

This morning's meeting was very important; it lasted for more than two hours, and Qi Xiao was almost asleep waiting.

Upon hearing him call a halt to the meeting, the guy immediately got up from the sofa, strode over, and shared the second half of the sentence that had just been interrupted.

Qi Xiao walked to Zhao Jingnian's side and leaned lazily against his desk.

"Old Zhao, let me tell you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked hard in the knee and almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Damn it! Old Zhao, why did you kick me?"

Qi Xiao clutched his leg and cried out in pain, accusing his brutality.

Zhao Jingnian gave him a cold look. "Getting more and more rude. Don't you know how to knock before entering the study?"

Zhao Jingnian was five years older than Qi Xiao. The two families were old friends, and Zhao Jingnian had stayed at the Qi family's house when he was a child and grew up with Qi Xiao, so he could be considered Qi Xiao's half-brother.

It's only right to discipline a disobedient younger brother.

Qi Xiao has always been reckless and disregards all rules; he even barges into his father's office without a second thought.

"So what if I didn't knock? I do that all the time. Besides, I didn't know you were in a meeting."

His face was full of resentment. "If it had been your sister-in-law who barged in just now, would you have been this fierce? Would you have kicked her too?"

Yu Ming, who was standing next to him, could hardly stand it anymore. He lowered his head and suppressed a laugh. Where did this ancestor get his confidence to compare himself to his boss's wife?

Zhao Jingnian scoffed at him, "You still dare to compare yourself to her?"

"Why can't they be compared? One is your wife, and the other is your best brother. You have to treat them equally."

Zhao Jingnian was too lazy to waste words on the idiot. He had spoiled him too much and he was lawless.

"This kick is to teach you a lesson."

Qi Xiao ignored him, but still couldn't help but silently curse him in his heart.

"Old Zhao, I'm here to share some good news with you."

Despite the pain in his leg, he chuckled and said, "I just called Brother Qingyue and told him that you and your wife are both in Nancheng, and Momo and I are here too. It just so happens that Haicheng isn't far from here, so I invited him over to come and hang out with us."

For Zhao Jingnian, this should have been bad news. Why was his villa filled with all sorts of people?

He didn't really want to hang out with Qi Xiao and Gu Qingyue; he just wanted to spend some time alone with his Xiao Fu.

"What's fun about a date? It's more fun with more people."

Qi Xiao had already planned his trip for the next few days. "Qingyue will arrive around noon, so we'll go play cards this afternoon."

Gu Qingyue held a grudge. Zhao Jingnian had a good run of luck last time and won a lot of money from him, so he wanted to get it back.

"Let's go to the racetrack tomorrow and have a race between the three of us. Let me tell you, my driving skills are top-notch now."

"The day after tomorrow, we'll go to the shooting range; my daughter Momo loves to play there."

"It's rare that we all have time and can get together like this. Old Zhao, you have to follow the organization and not spoil the fun."

Qi Xiao arranged the itinerary for everyone in detail.

Zhao Jingnian felt a headache coming on; he had no time to fool around with Qi Xiao and Gu Qingyue.

Ruan Fu has been in a bad mood these past two days, and he just wants to cheer his wife up.

"Just because you're not interested doesn't mean your sister-in-law isn't. She gets along really well with our Momo; they're instant friends. She loves being around people, and she'll definitely be happy with so many people playing with her."

Zhao Jingnian thought Qi Xiao's words made a lot of sense. Ruan Fu really liked lively gatherings, and she would probably have more fun with a lot of people.

"Your sister-in-law isn't in a good mood, do you know why?"

Hearing him ask that, Qi Xiao laughed out loud, "That's your wife. Even you don't know that, so why should I know?"
