Synopsis: [Completed, a total of four worlds.]
Fu Li has always lived by the principle: "Rather I betray the world than the world betray me."
Until he was sent to the Cosmic Ref...
Chapter 111 You're Not My Husband?! (22) "Ah Li is naughty..."
Seeing his tearful face and his heart-wrenching cries, Luo Ze's eyes darkened, a cold light flashing within them. He pulled the young man's arm and embraced him, whispering, "No, Ali, you love me, it's just that you can't accept it right now."
“You’ve only been together for a short time. We’ve been together every day for the past six months, and we’re already the closest people to each other. I’m the one who married you, and I’m the one who exchanged vows with you. I can do everything that Luo Ran can do for you, but what about him? He abandoned you and left without even a word. How can such behavior be true love? Ali, think about it carefully.” His tone was low and he coaxed her gently.
But Fu Li couldn't hear a single word. Her mind was a complete mess.
Her eyes widened, and crystal tears streamed down her cheeks. Her voice trembled, but she asked with unwavering determination, "Where is Luo Ran? Where is A-Ran?"
"I want to hear what he has to say!"
He refused to listen to Luo Ze's side of the story, and regardless of whether it was true or not, he wanted to find Luo Ran and get to the bottom of it.
A cold glint flashed in Alpha's eyes. Seeing that he showed no sign of backing down, a cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips. He placed the bowl in his hand on the small table and said coldly, "Ah Li just had her wedding with me yesterday, and now, only two days later, she's saying she wants to find another man in front of me. Isn't that going a bit too far?"
His response was a furious glare from Fu Li, his eyes blazing with rage.
The last trace of softness on his face vanished, revealing his original ruthless decisiveness.
“Ah Li is disobedient, she doesn’t even eat breakfast. She’s been making a fuss about seeing other men. Since that’s the case, it’s time to punish your infidelity, so you don’t become a promiscuous Beta in the future.” The man’s tone remained calm, but his voice gradually turned cold.
The young man, like a small animal sensing danger, instinctively tried to break free and hide behind the restraints when he sensed something was wrong. However, his wrist was grabbed by the force that seemed to be about to break his wrist.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Beta's face showed panic, with lingering anger. Her eyes were red and her face was pale, like a frightened fawn, but little did she know that this strangely beautiful appearance could further ignite the destructive desires hidden in the Alpha's heart.
Luo Ze's eyes darkened, and the next moment he leaned over and pressed the man down on the pillow, forcibly inserting his fingers between the man's fingers, their ten fingers interlocking tightly, firmly imprisoning him and not allowing him to resist.
Beta's panicked and resistant expression was reflected in his deep, abyss-like pupils. He then leaned down, ignoring Fu Li's struggles, and bit down on his soft lips with his teeth, lightly biting and then gently grinding them with his tongue, wanting to imbue every inch of his mouth with his own scent.
Fu Li's mouth was gagged, and she could only let out futile gasps of resistance. Tears slid down onto the pillow, soaking it.
Soon, all her clothes were forcefully removed by the man, and kisses, like branding marks, covered her entire body from top to bottom, hot and passionate enough to suffocate her.
The scent of cedarwood filled the room, drawing everyone away. No matter how much Fu Li resisted and shouted, it was to no avail.
As punishment and to teach him a lesson, Loze used all the extreme methods he had never used before on the young man. His tall and strong body pressed the Beta's thin body firmly under him, growling like a wild beast. His long canine teeth bit deep into the flesh of Fu Li's nape, and the glands that had long since degenerated were forced to receive an excessive amount of pheromones, oozing bright red blood.
"Ugh... Waaah..." Fu Li could only struggle and wail helplessly, but it was all in vain in front of the powerful Alpha.
"Ah Li is naughty. She's already married to me, but she keeps mentioning other Alphas in front of her husband. She needs to be punished!" Luo Ze muttered, but his words were incredibly clear. He lowered his head and bit Fu Li's earlobe.
Breakfast took a full two hours. By the end, Fu Li was so exhausted that she fainted, her head covered in sweat, and collapsed wearily into Luo Ze's arms. Her body was covered in bruises, like a silent accusation.
Luo Ze took a deep breath, his usually calm and collected face revealing a look of contentment. He held Fu Li tightly in his arms, his eyes lowered, his image deeply etched in them.
Although Fu Li's attitude angered him, Luo Ze was not worried at all, but rather remained extremely calm.
So what if Luo Ran is back? Even if he returns to the Luo family, his status will only be that of the second young master, with no real power. Luo Ze, on the other hand, is the true ruler of the Luo family, and Fu Li can only belong to him.
Thinking this, a knowing smile gradually appeared on his face, deep and unwavering.
Half an hour later, Luo Ze tidied himself up and walked out. His clothes were neat and tidy, every button was fastened tightly, and there wasn't a single wrinkle on the high-quality fabric. You couldn't tell that not long ago he had tormented the innocent Beta like a beast until she was unconscious.
Reaching the door, he glanced calmly at the bodyguard standing guard outside and said:
“Ah Li isn’t feeling well, so don’t let him leave his bedroom for the next few days. We’ll wait until he’s fully recovered.”
The butler nodded in agreement, and the bodyguard on the other side also bowed respectfully to indicate that he understood.
Lin Xi lowered his head, seemingly in a respectful agreement, not letting Luo Ze see the dark light flowing in his deep eyes.
Luo Ze had his suspicions about the unexpected incident on the wedding day, but Lin Xi was a loyal retainer trained by the Luo family since childhood, so he only gave him a cold look as he passed by and left without saying anything more.
Seeing Luo Ze's steady figure leave, the butler sighed deeply, his gaze shifting to the closed master bedroom door, but in the end he could only drag his helpless steps away.
Before leaving, he paused, and asked seemingly casually, "Where is the second young master?"
The bodyguard next to Lin Xi said, "In a villa in the suburbs. The young master ordered that he be taken into custody first, without saying anything else."
The butler nodded, sighed, and walked away.
Lin Xi lowered his eyes, his expression unreadable, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
When Fu Li woke up again, it was already evening.
He forced himself to sit up, found the torn clothes in the dim light, and turned on the light.
Fortunately, Luo Ze had given him an extra bottle of nutrient solution before leaving, so he wasn't too weak. However, his body was covered in marks left by the man, red and blue patches, especially on his collarbone and the glands on the back of his neck, which were almost unsightly.
He still harbored doubts and was determined to find out what had happened, no matter what.
Upon hearing the bell, the butler hurried upstairs to the second floor. Thinking that the young man inside might break down and cry after waking up, he dismissed the servants who had rushed over and went in alone with dinner.
Fu Li sat on the edge of the bed, her bare feet revealing her fair toes, but clear red marks could also be seen on her ankles.
The butler reluctantly looked away, only to see that Fu Li's expression was indifferent, and his eyes had lost their usual luster, like the Dead Sea.
"Young Master Fu Li, would you like something to eat? The chef has made pork rib soup, it's your kind of soup." The butler said, placing the tray on the coffee table beside the bed, his tone as gentle as possible.
But this wasn't what Fu Li was concerned about at the moment. His eyes were brimming with barely visible tears, and his voice seemed to carry a faint sob: "Butler, could you please tell me, who exactly is Luo Ran...?"
The butler couldn't bear it. From the day Luo Ze ordered the deception of Fu Li, he had vaguely foreseen today's situation. But no matter how much he pitied this innocent Beta, he could only carry out the young master's orders.
He sighed and slowly revealed the truth: "The Luo family actually has two young masters, who are twins. Luo Ran is the second young master, who ran away from home ten years ago. The one you married is the eldest young master, Luo Ze."
Although she already had a feeling of what was going on, Fu Li still felt a sense of despair and shock when she heard it from someone else.
Tears streamed down her face, and she asked in a trembling voice:
"Then why has no one told me the truth?"
A glimmer of pity and guilt flashed in the old butler's eyes as he hesitated and said, "It's the young master. The eldest young master forbade you to know."
"Initially, this was Madam's idea. She wanted to use you as a hostage to force the Second Young Master to return. But before the plan could be implemented, the Eldest Young Master changed his mind. You misunderstood the Eldest Young Master's identity, so he went along with it and instructed us not to tell you about Young Master Ran. Everyone in the Luo family, including President Luo's assistant, received the same order. Young Master Ran didn't appear until the day of your wedding."
As the old butler gently recounted the truth, Fu Li couldn't hold back his tears. He couldn't accept that he had been deceived by lies for half a year, even married a complete stranger, and ended up like this.
"What about Aran?"
The butler shook his head.
"The second young master is not here. The eldest young master has given instructions that you cannot go out or see him."
He wanted to comfort her, but seeing Beta break down in tears, he ultimately hesitated to speak.
He knew that the weight of the truth was like being hit by a thousand-pound boulder for the young man, something he would find hard to accept in a short time. And comforting him would be nothing more than a drop in the ocean for Fu Li, who had been deceived for so long.
So he could only gently tell him to get some rest, and then he left.
As the door closed again, a low sob came from the bedroom. Though not loud, it sounded like someone had reached the breaking point, filled with endless sorrow and despair.
He traveled from the distant city of Dali to the capital, hoping to find his beloved, but he was like a bird trapped in a cage, ensnared by lies and betrayal.
Even the most optimistic and resilient person would find it hard not to break down when faced with something like this.
Especially when recalling everything that happened after arriving in the capital, she was overjoyed to stay by her lover's side, thinking that she had regained what she had lost. However, she did not expect that she had poured her love into a stranger, fell in love with him, and even got married. In the end, she found out that the person she had given everything to was not her true love.
Regret and guilt tormented Beta's heart, like red-hot coals burning countless bloody holes in his soft flesh.
He hid under the covers and cried bitterly.
