Chapter 3

Jiang Yuning paused, pursing her lips in pain. She wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she realized that delaying it for half a year would be much better than being sent back to her parents’ home on the wedding day.

Although, she has long lost her reputation.

During this period, she did not expect Xiao Liye to like her. After all, it was impossible for a successful man like Xiao Liye to like her in ten years, let alone half a year.

She just wanted to be quiet and take it easy for a while, save some money, and then do some ideological work on her parents at home.

If they agreed not to rush her to find another partner after the divorce, she would help run the family bakery.

But if he continued to urge her to look for another one every day like before, she would just try her luck somewhere else.

Xiao Fangdong also felt relieved and said to Jiang Yuning:

“Xiao Ning, just stay here for half a year. If he bullies you, just tell me.”

Jiang Yuning nodded and said:

“Yes, uncle.”

Xiao Liye glanced at her sideways, and snorted coldly at her straightforward compromise.

He said how could she agree so readily to come back with him and make it clear that the wedding was not counted?

It turns out that she knows that Xiao Fangdong doesn’t agree, and she is probably still thinking about how to become his wife within half a year.

There was no way he would let her succeed. He had been tormented by her for the past six months.

There are nine tiled houses. The three on the far right belong to Xiao Liye, the three in the middle belong to the eldest brother Huo Zhaoqing and Wang Xiangmei, and the three on the left belong to the second brother Huo Zhaoxing and Li Chunyan.

Xiao Fangdong and Lin Meifeng lived with Xiao Liye, but recently their youngest daughter was about to give birth and had no mother-in-law, so Lin Meifeng went to take care of her and has not returned yet.

After Xiao Fangdong dealt with the matter, he did not stay and turned to go to the vegetable garden behind the house.

Jiang Yuning didn’t dare to stay with Xiao Liye at all. She paused for two seconds and walked into the house hesitantly.

The broken pieces of bowls were still scattered on the floor of the main room. She thought of Xiao Liye’s angry throwing of the bowls, so she didn’t bother to clean up the mess for him and went straight into the house.

Seeing her walk into the house without paying attention to the mess on the floor, Xiao Liye was surprised:

“Where are your eyes? Don’t you know how to clean up the debris on the ground?”

Jiang Yuning still had some fear of Xiao Liye in her heart. Even though she was unhappy, she still spoke softly:

“You should clean up what you dropped yourself. I don’t owe you anything.”

Xiao Liye raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with some surprise:

“No, I just said you were silent for a long time, shouldn’t you be easy to bully?”

“I just have the look of someone who doesn’t want to cause trouble, but I’m not stupid.”

Xiao Liye frowned, somewhat confused by her reaction. Logically speaking, if she wanted to be with him, she should be proactive. What was going on?

He didn’t believe it and continued to order, “Go, get your man a basin of water to wash his feet.”

Jiang Yuning suddenly became rebellious and said:

“My husband is dead, and I don’t know who to give this foot washing water to.”

Xiao Liye seemed to be choked, and then said unconvincedly:

“Then who am I to you?”

“Stranger.” Jiang Yuning answered quickly.

Xiao Liye was so angry that he was speechless. His chest, which had been filled with anger, slowly calmed down and he said unhappily:

“So what are you doing in a stranger’s house now?”

Jiang Yuning said indifferently:

“I’m a stranger to you, but not to your father. I live in his house.”

Xiao Liye was so angry that he almost laughed. He lightly touched his back teeth with the tip of his tongue. Jiang Yuning didn’t want to pester him anymore and was about to leave.

The next moment, a big hand grabbed her arm and brought her into the house. Before she could react, she was pushed onto the bed.

She was slightly stunned as she watched Xiao Liye lean over and support her head with his strong arms.

The distance was too close, and she could clearly feel his hot breath brushing against her fair face, and then she heard an ambiguous voice:

“It seems like tonight is our wedding night.”

Jiang Yuning’s pupils shrank slightly, her delicate face seemed to be burning like a raging fire, her slender hands tightly grasped the bed sheet beneath her, and she felt extremely uneasy.

Xiao Liye didn’t miss her immature reaction. He frowned at first, then seemed to think of something and sneered:

“You’ve been married to your ex for so long, and you’ve tried many things to have children. Why are you pretending to be innocent now?”

Jiang Yuning’s face became even hotter. She raised her foot and wanted to kick him away. However, just as she raised her leg, before she could move,

The next moment, Xiao Liye bent one knee and pressed against her legs. The force was not strong, but it completely suppressed her and she could not move at all.

Moreover, the scorching body temperature was transmitted through the thin fabric, which was a bit uncomfortable.

Jiang Yuning’s breathing stagnated, her heart was beating fast, and her long eyelashes like fine crow feathers trembled slightly.

Xiao Liye didn’t say anything, but stared at her with a half-smile on his face. He seemed not to care, but in fact, his eyes were glued to her face and he couldn’t move them away.

pretty,

So damn beautiful,

She is so beautiful without makeup.

If I dress up a little, I wonder how beautiful I will be.

If I were her first man, my legs would be so weak that I would not even have the strength to jump into the river.

The atmosphere at this moment was filled with an inexplicable ambiguity. Jiang Yuning felt increasingly uneasy, and her voice trembled as she spoke:

“Get up…get up.”

Xiao Liye came back to his senses, stood up again, and chuckled:

“You really think I would touch you? You’re dreaming. You’re a widow who hasn’t had a child after being married for so long. What do I want from you? Why would I touch you?”

Jiang Yuning pursed her lips. She wanted to curse back, but when she thought about it, she realized that since Xiao Liye was a man of her status and married her, it was only natural that he would look down on her sarcasm.

She should try to explain it clearly to see if she could ease the situation. She realized this, sat up, and explained in a gentle voice:

“Although I’ve been married to him for over a year, we haven’t slept together. Besides, there should be nothing wrong with my health. Everything is…normal.”

If she was a little uglier, Xiao Liye would have believed it, but he had inquired about Jiang Yuning’s family.

Jiang Zhiming didn’t have anyone he liked at all, and facing a clean and beautiful girl on his wedding night, as a man, he had no feelings. According to the custom of blind marriage these days, he would definitely be willing to sleep with her first and then get along slowly.

And if you haven’t touched upon this kind of thing for such a long time together, isn’t that a stupid act?

As for why she hasn’t had a child for so long, it’s hard to say what the reason is, but if someone is driven to death, then there’s something fishy going on with her.

Of course, he couldn’t bring himself to say that she was beautiful, something that would make even a man like him feel impulsive. He scoffed lightly:

“Your words wouldn’t even work on other men, let alone me. What? Are you going to do anything to get me to touch you?”
