As soon as Xu Nian got home and sat down on the sofa, Ying Fan, all hot and sweaty, squeezed over to her.

Xu Nian didn't even need to look to know what he meant by that murderous gaze!

But they've only known each other and been married for two days, and now... isn't that too fast?

Xu Nian wanted to cultivate their relationship further and didn't want to be taken advantage of so quickly, so she refused, saying, "Ying Fan, you can't touch me yet."

"Wife, why can't I touch you yet?" Ying Fan wrapped his arms around Xu Nian's waist and lifted her onto his lap, letting her lie in his arms and talk to him.

He liked the intimacy of touch, which made him feel like she was far away from him.

"No means no." Xu Nian bit her lower lip, her eyes blinking, unsure of what to say.

According to the rules of this world, they should have been together yesterday.

But she had a selfish reason and wanted to delay it a little longer.

Ying Fan's hand, which had been caressing Xu Nian's waist, gradually moved away. His dark eyes were fixed on the person in his arms, and the joy he had felt during their wedding had vanished.

She didn't want to marry him before, and now that she's being forced into marriage, she still doesn't want him to touch her.

What exactly is she holding onto?

Or was she still clinging to a sliver of hope, wanting to stall him, and then have a chance to leave with a clean slate, only to fall into someone else's arms?

It's no wonder Ying Fan overthinks things; he doesn't believe it was his good luck that allowed Xu Nian to hatch.

The reason she was willing to come out is probably because she felt that she had found her other half in this world.

He forcibly took her egg home and bound her to him, so she had no choice but to come out first and then make plans.

Yingfan has never forgotten that it was Xu Nian who took the initiative to suggest testing female reproductive ability.

She seemed to know from the beginning that she was infertile and also knew the final outcome.

She did this simply to force him to let go so she could find her other half.

"Niannian, you're unwilling, are you still thinking of leaving me and going to find someone you're satisfied with?" These wild thoughts made Ying Fan's lips curl into an ugly smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Nian felt a little guilty. She had considered this before, but now she no longer had that intention.

Ying Fan noticed her unnatural expression, and something inside him suddenly collapsed.

His silly girl couldn't lie, much less hide her thoughts; it turned out she really had always planned to do so.

At this moment, Ying Fan felt ridiculous. He adhered to his principles and acted as a gentleman, while she was thinking of eloping with someone else.

Dark thoughts grew uncontrollably, and he thought of a way to possess her again.

"Niannian, don't blame me." Ying Fan's sudden words made Xu Nian look at him in confusion.

"Don't blame yourself for anything?" Xu Nian didn't know why, but she felt that Ying Fan had suddenly become a little scary at this moment.

She was like a bird being targeted by a large, ferocious beast, eager to spread her wings and fly away at any moment.

Her fleeing expression fueled Ying Fan's rage.

She cannot escape him; she belongs to him.

The azure spiritual energy, like spider silk, bound Xu Nian in its web with a single thought.

"Ying Fan?" Xu Nian didn't understand. How could someone who was perfectly fine just now suddenly change his personality like this?

Just because she refused to be with him, he's going to treat her like this?

"Niannian, I will not allow you to leave me, nor will I give you the opportunity to find someone else."

"There's another legend among the Red-crowned Crane clan: if you obtain a powerful enough counterpart from your clan, they can make you willingly stay by your side." Ying Fan didn't want Xu Nian to see his terrifying appearance, so he used his spiritual power to cover her eyes.

Without sight, Xu Nian felt an even stronger sense of danger. She grabbed the clothes of the person in front of her with her mobile hands and said, "Ying Fan, let me explain."

"I don't want explanations, I just want you." Afraid that he would waver, Ying Fan simply covered Xu Nian's mouth as well.

Since she cannot speak, she will not interfere with his current resolve.

Xu Nian was furious because she couldn't see or speak.

Before he takes action, can't he let her finish what she has to say? It's not that she's unwilling, she just wants to cultivate their relationship. Is that so difficult?

While Xu Nian was trembling with anger, she was placed on a soft bed.

Her hot breath sprayed down, and she knew it was Ying Fan.

Feeling angry, Xu Nian turned her head away from his kiss, but heard him chuckle in a low, husky voice, "Nian Nian, no matter how much you struggle, you can't escape today."

Then, Xu Nian suddenly opened her eyes wide in the darkness. Her whole body was trembling, and tears streamed down her face.

A huge blue lion invaded her mind, walking back and forth in her mind as if patrolling its territory.

After walking for a long time, the lion finally found its prey.

Seeing the red-crowned crane still lying down asleep, it excitedly pounced on it with all four paws.

"Chirp!" The red-crowned crane was startled awake and tried to take flight, but the lion held it down firmly with its front paws.

The lion loved the red-crowned crane very much, licking its feathers repeatedly until the crane was completely smitten.

Its eyes held a lively helplessness and frustration, yet it was powerless against the enormous lion and could only let it do as it pleased.

The lion was fascinated by the red-crowned crane, gently nibbling its neck and back, and even its claws.

The red-crowned crane, now completely unclean, lay listlessly on the lion's forepaws.

Ying Fan heard the woman's soft sobbing, as beautiful as he had imagined, but he did not feel as happy as he had expected.

Ultimately, it was her unwillingness, and ultimately it was him forcing her to do something she couldn't.

Even so, Yingfan had no intention of stopping.

He turned off their communication devices, darkened the room's decor, and embraced the tearful woman in his arms, possessing her completely with a ruthless determination.

"Niannian, you are mine, and no one can take you away from me anymore." Ying Fan's sickly voice echoed eerily in the room.

Xu Nian was filled with regret!

She couldn't understand what had gotten into her before, why she had fallen for such a crazy person who would force himself on her at the slightest disagreement.

He won't even give her an explanation. What is he afraid of?

The sobbing continued, making Yingfan even more want to act recklessly.

Considering that he couldn't leave a shadow on Xu Nian, he forced himself to suppress his anxious thoughts.

Xu Nian regained her sight and immediately slapped Ying Fan.

He neither dodged nor avoided the slap, but took it head-on.

The crisp sound of the slap startled Xu Nian, but after a moment she sneered, "Ying Fan, you don't think I'll forgive you just because you got slapped like that, do you?"

“Niannian, I know you won’t forgive me. If I were given the chance to choose again, I would still do the same thing.” Ying Fan’s lack of remorse made Xu Nian even angrier.

She really wanted to yell at him and tell him to get lost, but why couldn't her mouth listen to her?
