After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Many bodyguards spoke well of Lu Ruo and condemned Lin Beizhen's abandonment of her husband.

Lu Ruo dismissed this with disdain.

These despicable men are just putting on a show, hoping others will praise their benevolence and righteousness.

Although Lu Ruo looked down on these people, she still put on a pitiful and aggrieved expression, clutching Lin Beizhen's clothes tightly.

Although Lin Beizhen repeatedly stated that this person was not his husband, he was always taciturn, and even when he defended himself, he was quite concise.

The only thing I could say was, "He is not my husband."

Therefore, not many people believe him.

The head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) said that Lu Ruo was just a young man, and since this was a desolate place, they couldn't just send him away here, so they left him in the镖队 (bodyguard/escort team).

Lu Ruo had a sweet tongue and quickly won over the group of bodyguards.

Escorting goods is already hard and tiring, and you rarely get to see your buddies.

Especially since he's such a dashing young man.

Although she was dressed in coarse linen clothes, her alluring eyes were incredibly captivating.

This aroused the lustful desires of many bodyguards.

Lu Ruo was cunning. She pretended to be a pitiful little thing who was afraid of her husband and didn't dare to speak to them. Instead, she won the sympathy of the group of bodyguards.

Lin Beizhen sighed, and when they were alone, he pulled Lu Ruo aside and asked, "Why are you so fixated on this batch of goods?"

With no outsiders present, Lu Ruo no longer needed to pretend. He snorted coldly, "I've said it before, the Qian family's goods will be robbed."

Lin Beizhen said, "Now that I've taken on this matter, I will absolutely not let you succeed."

Lu Ruo chuckled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Then let's see who has the best skills, my good husband."

"Don't call me that," Lin Beizhen said. "I remember telling you that I'm engaged and it's impossible for me to marry you."

Lu Ruo rolled her eyes, then caught sight of someone approaching out of the corner of her eye. Her expression immediately changed, and she said meekly, "Whatever my husband says goes. Ruo Ruo will be obedient. Please, my husband, don't send me away."

Lin Beizhen also heard the approaching footsteps. He glanced at Lu Ruo, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Lu Ruo followed behind him, taking small, unhurried steps.

Two days passed, and as the group approached the cargo handover point, Lu Ruo began to act.

However, Lin Beizhen kept a close eye on him, preventing him from making a move.

However, Lu Ruo quickly came up with a solution.

Lin Beizhen is stubborn and inflexible; he would never do something like peeping at a young man bathing.

While everyone was taking a midday nap, Lu Ruo grabbed her clothes and ran to the mountain stream to take a bath.

Lin Beizhen naturally wouldn't peek at him, which gave him the opportunity to sneak back to the camp and secretly put a sleeping potion in everyone's drinking water.

He returned to the mountain stream, changed his clothes, hummed a song as he went back to the camp, and then openly began to cook lunch for everyone.

After all, he was the only guy in the team. Before he arrived, everyone ate dry rations or hunted a pheasant for a change of pace.

Since he arrived, he has been in charge of all the meals for the team of more than 30 people.

Although it was cooked in a large pot, it tasted much better than dry rations.

Lu Ruo was cooking right under Lin Beizhen's nose, so naturally she wouldn't be foolish enough to tamper with the food.

In front of Lin Beizhen, Lu Ruo added a lot of strong seasonings to her lunch.

"Why add so much Sichuan peppercorn?" Lin Beizhen asked, puzzled.

Lu Ruo said, "This is a spicy stir-fry, so of course it needs Sichuan peppercorns. You can't cook, so don't bother me."

Lin Beizhen raised his eyelids and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

Lu Ruo remained silent, picked up a piece of meat from the pot, puffed out her cheeks, blew on it to cool it down, and then stuffed it into her mouth, chewing and swallowing it.

"Mmm...delicious!" Lu Ruo exclaimed. "It's both numbing and spicy, flavorful, and fragrant!"

Lin Beizhen: "..."

It didn't look like she had been drugged, but with the delivery due soon, Lu Ruo couldn't possibly have done nothing.

Lin Beizhen pondered carefully, could it be that there was something wrong with the wine?

He was careful and didn't touch the spicy dish, nor did he drink any alcohol.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, a few people took turns keeping watch, while the rest simply found a pile of dry grass to lie down.

Lin Beizhen also found a tree to lean against, sat under the tree and closed his eyes to rest.

Lu Ruo pretended to be his husband, so naturally she had to stay with him.

So he naturally rested his head on the man's lap, yawned, rubbed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Lin Beizhen felt quite uncomfortable when the soft body leaned closer.

He wanted to throw this audacious young man out, but hesitated for a long time and did not do so.

Fifteen minutes later, the guards who had been on duty yawned and fell asleep one after another, and Lu Ruo quietly opened her eyes.

He first looked up at Lin Beizhen.

His breathing was steady, and he looked as if he were asleep.

Lu Ruo waved her hand in front of the man's eyes.

The man didn't wake up.

Lu Ruo grew bolder and tugged at the man's hair.

The drug was so potent that he absolutely wouldn't be able to wake up.

He stared intently at Lin Beizhen's eyelids, and only after confirming that he had truly lost consciousness did he take the whistle out of his pocket.

Just as he was about to blow the whistle, his wrist was grabbed by a large hand.

Lin Beizhen had woken up at some point and was staring intently at him.

Lu Ruo felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze. "How did you wake up?...No, I mean, why are you grabbing me?"

Lin Beizhen said, "I told you, as long as I'm here, you can't rob this shipment."

Lu Ruo was furious. This man only looked honest on the surface, but he was actually full of tricks.

No matter what method he tried, it seemed he couldn't escape his eyes.

Lu Ruo started to act pitiful, "My hand hurts, let go of me."

Lin Beizhen remained unmoved.

Lu Ruoying whimpered and pretended to cry twice, "It really hurts so much."

"...Speak properly."

Lu Ruo started to cry.

"Waaah."

When Lin Beizhen saw him shed tears, she assumed that she had used too much force and loosened her grip a bit.

What happened to your hand?

"It hurts so much when you pinch me." Lu Ruo clung to the man as if she had no bones. "Husband~ be gentle~"

Lin Beizhen looked down at his wrist and indeed saw many red marks.

Some areas have even turned bruised.

Lin Beizhen frowned.

This young man not only had injuries on his wrists, but also some faint scars under his sleeves.

He lifted the young man's sleeve and saw that his fair skin was covered in bruises.

It felt like I'd been beaten up.

"Who hit him?" Lin Beizhen asked.

"Huh?" Lu Ruo was a little confused at first. "What? Who hit you?"

Lin Beizhen said, "The injury on your arm."

Lu Ruo suddenly realized, "Oh, you mean this..."

He drawled out his words, his voice soft and weak, and said lightly, "No one hit me. I injured myself."

Lin Beizhen was very puzzled. "Why?"
