Chapter 20: Easy-to-Calm Zhu Yan

Wen Li's expression suddenly changed.

She could imagine that once Xin Yuan knew about this, the difficulty of her strategy would increase dramatically.

After all, her behavior towards Zhu Yan was no different from that of Gong Sui, the rapist. How could Xin Yuan possibly accept her?

Then whatever she does will appear to have ulterior motives.

The only thing she could do now was to try her best to persuade Zhu Yan.

She couldn't do it even with threats or bribes.

After realizing this, Wen Li began to act pitiful.

Through the original owner's memory, we learned that Zhu Yan is a person with a cold appearance but a warm heart. Although he can be very fierce at times, he is actually very easy to talk to, and playing the victim is the most effective way to deal with him.

Wen Li knew that she looked ugly now, so she kept her head down and spoke with a trembling voice.

"Zhu Yan, I did this because I had no other choice, but now I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again..."

Wen Li's voice was choked with sobs.

Although this body is ugly, its voice is quite nice. Its sweet voice can definitely charm a lot of people when it comes to online dating.

The light is dim now, and Wen Li has lowered her head to cover her face. Just listening to the voice, she does sound a bit pitiful.

Zhu Yan remained unmoved, staring at her with a sneer, "No way? Are you kidding me? Is someone putting a knife to your neck and forcing you to do this?"

The original owner did have her own difficulties. Wen Li tearfully defended herself:

"Wuwu... Even though you are my beastly husbands... I know you don't like me. When the marriage contract is up in three months, you will all try to leave... What should I do then..."

Zhu Yan's frown relaxed slightly, but his voice remained cold and hard, "So you're going to resort to this method?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but I can't think of any other way... Wuuwuwu... My mother passed away, and I have no one to support me anymore. I know I'm ugly... and I don't have any other strengths... No one will marry me... Without the protection of my beastly husband, I will die soon..."

Wen Li became more and more moved as she cried. At this moment, she also understood the original owner's powerlessness.

When she first came here, Wen Li naively thought that it didn't matter whether she had a beastly husband or not, as long as she became stronger.

The experience with stray animals not long ago completely overturned Wen Li's cognition.

This is no longer a question of whether you become stronger or not.

The physical differences between males and females were so great that she couldn't even see the details of their fight.

How hard does she have to work to reach Xin Yuan's level?

How many points will be consumed?

Wen Li didn't know.

The only thing she could confirm was that she wouldn't be able to reach that level in the short term.

So, she can only accept the rules of this world.

Wen Li cried heartbrokenly.

She was just pretending to cry, but her body seemed to be under some strange spell. She cried harder and harder and couldn't stop.

Wen Li wondered if the original owner's feelings of grievance still lingered in this body.

Zhu Yan's cold expression gradually softened because of Wen Li's crying.

He was very clear about Wen Li's current situation and knew that she was not lying.

Without a mother, Wen Li lost her biggest support.

Furthermore, her mother's sudden death took away the other beastly husbands as well.

Wen Li has only two older brothers, but there has been no news about them since they got married a few years ago.

She is no different from an orphan now.

After they left, she was truly left alone.

After all, Wen Li is also a poor person.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yan's frozen eyes gradually melted.

But Zhu Yan still couldn't accept that she framed him repeatedly, even drugged him and raped him.

"Even so, you can't deliberately frame me! After all, you are still a vicious female!"

These calculations were too sinister and unacceptable to Zhu Yan.

As long as she is graceful and elegant, he can still appreciate her.

Zhu Yan's heart hardened again, and at this moment he had only one thought:

Such a female must never be allowed to approach Xin Yuan!

"I'm sorry, I already know I was wrong."

Wen Li completely immersed herself in the original owner's shoes, crying and apologizing: "I really don't know what to do, I just want you to like me... I'm sorry..."

Zhu Yan's tone was cold and hard: "Your way of making people like you is to frame them? That's ridiculous!"

With a "clang", a string in Wen Li's brain was completely broken because of this sentence.

Tears burst out, she cried breathlessly, desperate and sad: "But no matter what I do, you will never like me!"

All the things the original owner had done flashed wildly in Wen Li's mind.

Her proactive approach, her enthusiasm, her kindness... were always rejected because of this ugly face.

They refused to get close to her and resisted her.

The funny thing is, the only reason they were willing to get close to her was because of her designs.

Wen Li lowered her head and murmured, "An Yuan is beautiful. Even if she didn't do anything, you would still like her. But I am ugly. Even if I do a lot, you won't even look back at me."

The prerequisite for being loved is still beauty.

Zhu Yan seemed to have thought of something, and his expression froze.

"Stop crying."

His attitude towards Wen Li was no longer as resistant and hostile as it was at the beginning.

Wen Li responded muffledly and wiped the tears from her cheeks.

She has calmed down now and feels much better. "I was too impulsive in that incident. I'm sorry... Now I've figured it out. There's no point in forcing you to stay."

"I will do what I promised you. After three months, I will let you go."

Zhu Yan looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect that she would bring up this matter again.

Wen Li continued, "As for that matter... I still hope you don't tell Xin Yuan yet. He's cursed now and needs my blood to heal. During this time, I hope to get along well with him."

Zhu Yan's expression changed. "Curse? What did you do to Xin Yuan?"

The relationship between Zhu Yan and Xin Yuan is different from the sympathy between other beastly husbands.

The two of them came to the same tribe together. Xin Yuan had saved Zhu Yan once, so Zhu Yan had always taken good care of him.

Besides, Xin Yuan is a few years younger than Zhu Yan, and Zhu Yan has always treated Xin Yuan as his younger brother.

Wen Li's expression suddenly froze because of Zhu Yan's words.

Zhu Yan's subconscious attitude still made her feel chilled.

She glanced at him gently and said word by word, "We encountered a stray beast."

Zhu Yan knew better than anyone how dangerous stray animals were.

Once those cruel ghosts come across females, they will definitely capture them and force them to give birth to their cubs.

If the female doesn't obey, she'll be torn to pieces.

This is why stray animals are notorious.

Even if Ren Wenli had a hundred guts, she wouldn't dare to provoke stray animals, so this incident was most likely a coincidence.

Realizing that he had misunderstood Wen Li, Zhu Yan looked a little embarrassed.

He coughed lightly and said stiffly, "Sorry."
