Using power to force marriage

The next day, the sky brightened.

At just six o'clock, Zhao Jingnian was woken up by his biological clock.

She was exhausted again last night, mainly because she started this whole mess herself.

It felt pretty good to shower together.

After experiencing it, Zhao Jingnian felt that the bathtub was still a bit too small, and he would have to find someone to customize a larger one when he returned to Beicheng.

It makes it easy to carry out.

Ruan Fu is a restless sleeper and always kicks off the blanket. While Zhao Jingnian was getting dressed, she kicked the blanket off again.

Without the blanket to cover them, the bright red marks on their inner thighs were very conspicuous in the dimly lit bedroom.

The kiss mark left by Zhao Jingnian.

I covered her with the blanket and then left the bedroom.

After washing up, she called Qi Xiao as she walked toward the gym.

There's a debt I need to settle with him.

This guy has such a big mouth; he says everything he should and shouldn't say, which has made his little Fu unhappy these past two days, and she's shed a lot of tears.

His mouth should really be sewn shut.

Early in the morning, Qi Xiao was still fast asleep when he was suddenly woken up by a phone call.

"Who the hell is calling me at this hour?"

He looked annoyed and cursed.

Lying beside him, Chen Yinmo was also startled by the phone call. She frowned and complained, "Qi Xiao, you're so annoying! Why didn't you mute it?"

He gently patted Chen Yinmo to comfort her, then reached for his phone.

I originally wanted to hang up immediately, but when I saw that the caller ID showed Zhao Jingnian, I immediately became more alert.

I pressed the answer button.

"Come out." Only two concise words came from the other end of the phone.

He hung up the phone after saying that.

Chen Yinmo was still half asleep when she saw Qi Xiao answer the phone. She asked, "Who is it?"

"It's okay, Momo, you can continue sleeping. I'm going out for a bit."

He didn't dare to delay, quickly got dressed, and left the bedroom.

Although he didn't know why Zhao Jingnian was looking for him so early, Qi Xiao didn't dare to disobey.

He searched the living room on the first floor but didn't see anyone.

Aunt Sun was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. When I went over to ask her, I found out that Zhao Jingnian was in the gym.

Qi Xiao yawned and headed towards the gym.

He was indeed here.

"Old Zhao, are you kidding me? It's only six o'clock. You're calling me out to work out with you so early in the morning?"

When Zhao Jingnian saw Qi Xiao enter, he stopped the treadmill.

He was wearing a black sleeveless vest, and his arm muscles were smooth, firm, and very powerful.

Qi Xiao stood at the door, leaning against the door frame, looking completely spineless.

"I didn't ask you to come to the gym with me."

"Then why did you wake me up so early in the morning?"

He stood on the treadmill, beckoned to Qi Xiao, and said, "Come closer, I'll tell you."

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiao chuckled, "Why all the secrecy?"

He stepped closer, walking up to Zhao Jingnian, a hint of expectation in his eyes.

As soon as I stood still, a fist came flying at my left cheek.

Zhao Jingnian's blow was quite powerful; Qi Xiao was nearly knocked off his feet by the force of the blow.

"What the hell! Old Zhao, you hit me?"

He felt incredibly wronged, covering his swollen face and looking at the man in front of him with utter confusion.

"You called me out so early in the morning just to punch me, Lao Zhao, you..."

not human.

Zhao Jingnian's expression was cold and stern. "Watch your mouth."

Qi Xiao instantly understood why he had been punched, and called him "brother" somewhat guiltily.

"Brother, I didn't tell anyone else. I only told my sister-in-law. She's not just anyone; she's family."

Zhao Jingnian glanced at him indifferently, finding his bruised and swollen face somewhat comical.

Because of his talkativeness, Ruan Fu has been upset for several days, unable to eat or sleep.

"I don't want her to shed tears for me."

Qi Xiao's face was numb on one side, and he slurred his words, "Brother, your wife is just worried about you. You should be happy."

Anyway, he often acted weak and pitiful in front of Chen Yinmo, hoping that his Momo would feel more sorry for him and love him more.

But Zhao Jingnian considered himself an absolute strongman. He was invulnerable to swords and spears and did not need anyone's pity or sympathy. He also did not want to show his vulnerable side in front of Ruan Fu.

"Brother, you have a wife now, so you don't have to bear some things alone. Your wife cares about you a lot, and she wants to share your pain."

Zhao Jingnian disagreed with his idea. If you really love someone, you won't be reluctant to let her share the burden.

Ruan Fu is not a miracle doctor; she cannot make Zhao Yuzhou stand up again. His suffering is an unsolvable problem.

"Your sister-in-law wanted to celebrate your birthday, so she asked me about what happened back then. She meant well, so I told her what happened."

Qi Xiao knew he was wrong, and that he hadn't lost out at all by taking that punch.

"Although I promised you I wouldn't mention this to anyone, I think your wife is an exception. You two are husband and wife, and you're going to weather the storms of life together. She has the right to know everything about you, whether it's good or bad."

What good would knowing do? This pain is too heavy; letting her know would only add to her troubles. Originally, this was just his pain, but now it has become his pain.

"Old Zhao, what kind of logic is that?"

Qi Xiao and Ruan Fu think alike: when two people share pain, that pain is halved; when two people share happiness, that happiness is doubled.

"Xiao Fu shed a lot of tears and doesn't like to smile anymore."

He didn't care about anything else, except whether Ruan Fu was happy and content every day.

-

It was almost noon when Ruan Fu finally woke up.

Recalling the intense battle of last night, a blush rose on her cheeks again.

The feeling in the water was very different; Zhao Jingnian once again opened the door to a new world for her.

The bathtub was full of water, and Ruan Fu floated up and down with him, even feeling as if she had become a puddle of water, flowing freely over his body.

The sound of rushing water, the panting of flushed faces...

With the movement, ripples spread and water splashed everywhere.

It's quite addictive.

My legs are a little sore, and my waist is snow-white with a few faint marks—his fingerprints.

That despicable Zhao Jingnian, he has no sense of chivalry whatsoever, he went too far.

I must give him a good scolding later and tell him to be gentler next time.

Just then, Zhao Jingnian came out of the study, opened the master bedroom door, and checked if she was awake.

The moment the door opened, their eyes met.

"Is the baby awake?"

"Um."

She stretched her arms out from under the covers and let him hug her.

Zhao Jingnian quickly approached and pulled the person into his arms.

Ruan Fu rested her head on his chest, lifted her nightgown, and showed him the fingerprints on her waist.

"Don't pinch me so hard next time."

Her skin was fair and delicate, and she was prone to blushing easily, so Zhao Jingnian's condition was actually quite mild.

He teased, "Such a spoiled baby."

His legs also had fingerprints and hickeys, all his handiwork.

However, Ruan Fu was not polite to him either. She bit him several times, and when it hurt, she scratched him, pinched him, and cursed at him.

Ruan Fu gave him a long, stern look. "What are you laughing at! Didn't you hear me? Be quieter next time!"

Zhao Jingnian chuckled softly and whispered in her ear, "But baby, if it's any gentler, it won't be enough."
