Chapter 2: The Newlywed’s Room

“Auntie, you have to believe me…”

“Where’s Nanchuan? How could he still be asleep? Maybe something happened to him…”

“Chi Wan must have run away, the room…”

Lu Xiangxiang grabbed Zhang Yue’e’s arm and rushed to the door, her face full of conviction.

She was about to push the door open when…

“Creak.”

The door, which had been tightly shut, suddenly opened by itself.

And…

Chi Wan, who was said to have “eloped on her wedding night,” appeared behind the door.

She was wearing a pink floral undergarment.

Beneath the thin fabric, her figure was slender and graceful, her legs, clad in sleep pants, were long and slender, revealing a section of white jade-like ankles.

The buttons on her top were slightly undone, revealing a patch of delicate, snow-white skin.

On her neck…

There were a few ambiguous red marks.

Truly a fiery couple.

This scene was enough to spark endless imagination.

“Do you have something to say?”

Chi Wan simply leaned against the door, casually asking Lu Xiangxiang three words.

In terms of presence, she had already won over the shouting Lu Xiangxiang.

Lu Xiangxiang looked at Chi Wan in disbelief, her eyes wide.

She was both shocked and ferocious.

She retorted angrily.

“Impossible! How could you be here? Chi Wan, shouldn’t you be with…”

“Heh.”

Chi Wan looked at Lu Xiangxiang’s arrogant and domineering appearance and sneered disdainfully.

She retorted.

“Lu Xiangxiang, I just got married yesterday, entered the Huo family’s door, and became Huo Nanchuan’s wife.”

“On our wedding night, where else could I be besides in our wedding room?”

“It’s you, an unmarried girl, who came to the newlywed’s room early in the morning and slandered me for eloping. What exactly are you thinking?”

As soon as Chi Wan spoke, she immediately caught Lu Xiangxiang off guard.

The shocked expression on her face became even more pronounced.

After all, Chi Wan was an educated youth who had come down from the city, she was well-read and young, with a gentle and introverted temperament.

She had never even spoken loudly.

Even more so, in the village, she was out of place with the girls who grew up in the fields all day long.

It was because of this.

She was tricked by Lu Xiangxiang’s words and believed her lies.

This led to the tragic death.

But…

The situation now completely reversed.

Lu Xiangxiang was completely controlled by Chi Wan and was flustered by her words.

She still didn’t give up.

She continued to threaten Chi Wan in a low voice.

“Chi Wan, have you forgotten what I told you last night? Aren’t you worried about…”

However, in front of Zhang Yue’e, she didn’t dare to reveal those lies.

Chi Wan raised an eyebrow and asked again, “What? What am I worried about?”

She seemed confused and bewildered.

But in her eyes, there was a hint of mockery and sarcasm.

As long as Lu Xiangxiang dared to say a word, her lies would be exposed!

How could someone who had always lived in the village know what was happening in the city?

What a clumsy lie.

“You…”

Lu Xiangxiang was forced to back down by Chi Wan.

Her expression showed anger and shame.

The plan that she thought was foolproof was not developing as she had imagined.

In her anger, Lu Xiangxiang started to go crazy.

“You’re not Chi Wan!”

“You’re definitely not Chi Wan!”

“Who are you…”

As she spoke.

Lu Xiangxiang’s face twisted into a ferocious expression. She suddenly reached out and grabbed towards Chi Wan’s face.

Those sharp nails.

Straight.

Aiming for Chi Wan’s eyes.

Chi Wan didn’t expect Lu Xiangxiang to make a move.

She remembered that in the original text, Lu Xiangxiang after her rebirth was always a gentle and delicate lady, a good wife to Huo Nanchuan.

She had never shown a fierce and shrewish side.

Now it seemed that she was just acting in front of Huo Nanchuan for the sake of a rich life.

In essence, she was still the same arrogant and domineering evil woman.

The moment Chi Wan noticed her action, she immediately dodged back.

But it was too late.

Those sharp nails, even if they didn’t reach her eyes, would scratch her face…

“Stop!”

A deep and powerful male voice came.

A man’s large and strong, dark hand grabbed Lu Xiangxiang’s outstretched arm.

His tiger’s mouth tightened, and a heavy force pressed down.

Lu Xiangxiang hissed in pain, her body trembling, and her eyes still held a hint of fear.

“Nanchuan… it hurts… it hurts so much…”

The man who appeared was Huo Nanchuan, who was still “unconscious” on the bed, his upper body bare.

Chi Wan was also slightly surprised.

She didn’t know when this man woke up, nor did she know how much he had heard.

Even more so, she didn’t know…

After Huo Nanchuan got up, he was actually so tall and straight.

All over his body, bronze-colored muscles.

Under the sunlight outside, every muscle was shining.

Coupled with the man’s rough but handsome and deep features.

Was he really just an ordinary peasant?

He was a bit too “delicious”.

Such a man, with both talent and appearance, was too much of a waste to be paired with Lu Xiangxiang.

Chi Wan was stunned.

On her fair and delicate face, her bright eyes sparkled with a touch of brilliance.

Her long and slender eyelashes, curled and charming, fluttered upwards, never blinking, shining brightly as she looked at Huo Nanchuan.

Huo Nanchuan glanced at Chi Wan, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This woman…

Was she the same one who had trembled when she drank the wedding wine with him last night, not daring to look up at him?

Didn’t she always keep her head down, her eyes red?

Her beautiful eyes were watery, as if tears could fall at any moment…

In Huo Nanchuan’s heart, Chi Wan was like a piece of soft tofu.

White and tender.

Soft and fragile.

Even if he touched her, he couldn’t be too forceful.

As if she would shatter with a little carelessness.

Although Huo Nanchuan had agreed to marry her, he hadn’t completely figured out what to do with Chi Wan.

He wanted to take good care of her, to feed her well and dress her well.

But the Chi Wan in front of him…

She stood by the door, the golden sunlight gently falling on her, casting a faint glow.

Her curves were graceful, her figure was alluring.

The white and tender skin around her collarbone was almost glowing in the sunlight.

Even more eye-catching.

Was the light in her eyes.

Huo Nanchuan’s gaze involuntarily lingered on Chi Wan.

His heart skipped a beat.

“It hurts… it hurts so much… Nanchuan, my hand… my hand is going to break…”

Lu Xiangxiang screamed in pain, her face contorted.

Huo Nanchuan finally withdrew his gaze abruptly.

He shook his hand heavily, letting go of Lu Xiangxiang, and she stumbled back with his force.

She staggered clumsily.

She almost fell on her bottom.

Huo Nanchuan’s black eyes looked coldly at Lu Xiangxiang.

He spoke with an aura of authority without anger.

“Lu Xiangxiang, listen carefully, Chi Wan is my wife, Huo Nanchuan. We slept together last night.”

“There was no elopement, no running away, and none of the nasty things you said.”

“If I hear you gossiping about Xiao Wan in the village again, don’t blame me for being rude!”
