After the banquet, Gu Jianing specifically gave Bao Shanyan a reminder before leaving.

Seeing Bao Shanyan nod, a smile also appeared on her lips.

She knew that Wen Zhuqing was a scumbag, and Bao Shanyan was no good person either. So, these two scumbags could now deal with each other internally, letting them harm one another.

It was just uncertain who would come out on top later.

Gu Jianing speculated that in the early stages, Bao Shanyan and her mother might be able to suppress Wen Zhuqing, but in the later stages, it might be Wen Zhuqing who would win.

After all, Bao Shanyan and her mother relied on their physical strength and a bit of cunning, but Wen Zhuqing was truly deep and scheming. Otherwise, how could the Wen Zhuqing of the previous life have used so many people as stepping stones to pave his way?

Later, Wen Zhuqing might even manage to break free from the Bao family.

But it didn’t matter. As long as Wen Zhuqing could be temporarily trapped and taught a profound lesson, Gu Jianing felt it was worth it.

As for what would happen later, they would deal with it then.

In any case, she wouldn’t let Wen Zhuqing off easily.

Inside the room, Wen Zhuqing looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and listened to the lively chatter and laughter outside. His handsome face was terrifyingly gloomy.

He could only tell himself in his heart that this was only temporary.

He still had to find out from Bao Shanyan, that manly woman, how she and Gu Jianing had plotted against him.

When it came to handling women, he was quite skilled.

One day, he would return all the humiliation he had suffered.

Bao Shanyan and her mother, the Gu family, Gu Jianing, Sheng Zexi… Wen Zhuqing deeply remembered all these people.

Bao Shanyan, who got married today, was indeed happy. She hadn’t expected that Wen Zhuqing, whom she liked so much, would actually marry into her family.

Thinking about the incident with Wen Zhuqing three days ago, Bao Shanyan felt her heart itch.

So, that night, as soon as she finished washing up, she couldn’t wait to have another go with Wen Zhuqing, after all, it was their wedding night.

“Yanzi, I’ve been tired all day today, and I’m feeling a bit unwell. Can we wait until later?” Wen Zhuqing said gently, looking at Bao Shanyan with deep affection. “We’re already married, there’s plenty of time ahead. You’ll take care of me, won’t you?”

For Wen Zhuqing, what happened three days ago was like a nightmare.

At that time, he had been drugged and had no choice.

But in these three days, he kept having nightmares, dreaming of Bao Shanyan pressing down on him like a mountain, or like a fat sow, making him feel extremely nauseous and almost suffocated.

After returning that day, he took a long bath and used up a bar of soap.

He just wanted to wash away the traces and scent of Bao Shanyan from his body.

He felt that he had been defiled by Bao Shanyan.

Marrying Bao Shanyan was only a temporary compromise. How could he really be a husband to her and perform marital duties?

But Wen Zhuqing also knew that he couldn’t anger Bao Shanyan. He had to take it slow, first putting on a gentle and affectionate act to stabilize her.

After all, Bao Shanyan liked him, didn’t she?

After Wen Zhuqing finished speaking, he looked at Bao Shanyan expectantly, only to see her previously happy face instantly darken, looking at him with a gloomy expression.

At this moment, Bao Shanyan suddenly remembered what Gu Jianing had told her.

“Yanzi, although Wen Zhiqing is now married to you, don’t forget that this was achieved through trickery. Who knows how unwilling he might be in his heart.”

“I think he will definitely find all kinds of excuses not to be a real husband to you, just coaxing you along. You must not be fooled by him.”

“Since you’re married, he must fulfill his obligations. Even if others ask, they can’t say much about you.”

“In a marital relationship, it’s either you suppressing me or me suppressing you.”

“You must establish your authority from the beginning and not be suppressed by Wen Zhiqing.”

“But you’re so strong, I believe you can do it.”

“As long as you get pregnant with Wen Zhiqing’s child as soon as possible, I believe he might gradually compromise for the sake of the child.”

Remembering Gu Jianing’s words, Bao Shanyan’s face darkened.

Gu Jianing was right.

But since she had gone through so much trouble to get Wen Zhuqing to marry into the Bao family, she must keep both his body and mind, and also bear his child.

Bao Shanyan looked up coldly at Wen Zhuqing, “You’re not making excuses, are you?”

Wen Zhuqing’s eyes paused slightly, but he still wore a gentle smile on his face, “Of course not, Yanzi, trust me.”

Bao Shanyan pushed Wen Zhuqing down, and amidst his astonishment, she said, “No, I only trust myself.”

What happened next, Wen Zhuqing couldn’t resist at all.

After it was over, Bao Shanyan didn’t even take a bath, just lay down and pulled the blanket over her.

“Sleep well, tomorrow we still have to go to the civil affairs bureau to get our marriage certificate,” Bao Shanyan closed her eyes and muttered.

Just this one sentence made Wen Zhuqing, who was already physically and mentally exhausted, feel his emotions surge again.

“Marriage certificate? What’s the need for that? We’ve already had the banquet, that means we’re married. Why go through the trouble of getting a certificate?”

Wen Zhuqing hadn’t expected that Bao Shanyan, this country woman, could think of getting a marriage certificate.

He naturally knew that with a marriage certificate, he and Bao Shanyan would become a real couple.

Then it would be difficult for him to break free from Bao Shanyan later.

Moreover, if he remarried later, he would be a divorced man.

How could Wen Zhuqing allow such a thing to happen?

So, Wen Zhuqing rarely leaned over and gently tried to persuade Bao Shanyan, hoping she would drop the idea.

Bao Shanyan was already tired and always quite self-centered. She did as she pleased, and even her mother, Bao Yingzi, didn’t dare to say much to her.

Now, with Wen Zhuqing chattering in her ear, and even contradicting her, Bao Shanyan’s anger flared up instantly.

So, just as Gu Jianing had said, Wen Zhuqing only married her to temporarily stabilize her.

Gu Jianing had said that in the city and legally, only with a marriage certificate would they be considered a couple.

Getting a marriage certificate with Wen Zhuqing was also suggested by Gu Jianing.

Originally, Bao Shanyan had just mentioned it casually.

Now, seeing Wen Zhuqing so resistant, she felt that Gu Jianing was right.

They must get the certificate.

Moreover, Wen Zhuqing actually dared to contradict her. Bao Shanyan, who already had some mental issues, was quick-tempered and easily angered. She completely lost her temper, frowned, and with a backhand slap.

A slap landed on Wen Zhuqing.

Because she liked Wen Zhuqing’s face and didn’t want others to notice anything, Bao Shanyan didn’t hit his face.

But this slap, fueled by Bao Shanyan’s anger, was so forceful that it immediately caused Wen Zhuqing’s chest to ache, and he fell back onto the bed.

“If you keep babbling, I won’t be polite. I said we’re getting the certificate, and that’s final. I’m informing you, not discussing it with you.”

“If you don’t listen to me, I’ll send you to jail.”
