Ye Ningwan was startled. She looked up and met a pair of eyes as cold as stars. They were deep black with double pupils and remained unmoved under the dim light, only showing a deathly cold light.

Ye Ningwan was startled. She instinctively tried to pull her hand back, as if nothing had happened.

Despite being a vegetable who had just come over, Pei Fengzhi had a stronger grip than Ye Ningwan. Ye Ningwan's wrist turned red, but she still couldn't break free and could only look at him with an innocent and pitiful expression.

"Waaah, I didn't mean to... I wanted to give you a bath..."

Pei Fengzhi frowned and suddenly asked.

"Who are you?"

Under those cold, all-seeing gazes, Ye Ningwan had no choice but to answer honestly.

"I am your wife, and tonight is our wedding night."

A strange light flashed in Pei Fengzhi's eyes. Suddenly, the light above his head flickered a few times and then went out at an inopportune moment.

The entire room was plunged into darkness.

Ye Ningwan wanted to take the opportunity to get away from the man in front of her who looked dangerous, but it was too late.

In the blink of an eye, Pei Fengzhi suddenly pinned her down.

Ye Ningwan instinctively tried to struggle.

"Hello……"

Ye Ningwan was suddenly empty-handed.

The bright red wedding dress trailed on the ground.

Before Ye Ningwan could say anything more, his thin lips sealed hers.

"Hmm..."

Ye Ningwan's eyes widened suddenly. In the darkness, she seemed to see Pei Fengzhi's dark, lifeless double pupils gradually turning into a dangerous crimson.

When she met those bloodshot eyes, she felt as if her soul was being sucked away by them, and that domineering, suffocating feeling followed her like a shadow.

Ye Ningwan raised her hand, intending to knock the man unconscious, but the other person seemed to have noticed her movement, grabbed her wrist, overlapped it with her other wrist, and held it up.

Pei Fengzhi's kiss was both wild and deadly.

It was less a kiss and more a case of Pei Fengzhi devouring her soul.

A deep, magnetic voice rang in Ye Ningwan's ears.

"You smell so good..."

In the pitch-black night, the voice sounded like some kind of spirit that sucks away at people's life force, carrying a touch of decadent allure.

Ye Ningwan's body trembled, and she suddenly stopped struggling, letting Pei Fengzhi savor her.

She opened her watery eyes and pleaded softly.

"I'll be good, please let me go, okay?"

Pei Fengzhi slowly loosened his grip on her fingertips, and Ye Ningwan indeed lay flat and didn't move again until her hand reached for a thermos on the bedside table, lifted it heavily, and suddenly smashed it against the back of Pei Fengzhi's head, who was lost in his frenzy.

Pei Fengzhi fell down without a sound, crashing heavily onto her. Ye Ningwan finally let out a long sigh and threw away the thermos in her hand.

But when she tried to push the man away, she found that she couldn't push him away at all. So she tried to squeeze out, but the two of them were pressed tightly together, and she couldn't break free either. In the end, she was drenched in sweat, but it was still no use.

Ye Ningwan let out a long sigh, resignedly letting Pei Fengzhi fall on top of her, and closed her eyes.

Damn it, what kind of mess is this?!

Damn it!

She straightened her chest, feeling as if she was about to suffocate from the pressure!

That night, Ye Ningwan didn't know how she finally fell asleep; she was only thankful that she hadn't been crushed to death by Pei Fengzhi.

The next morning, Ye Ningwan was awakened by the sound of a key turning in the door.

Since that day five years ago, she has been extremely sensitive to all sounds while sleeping. When she opens her eyes, her sharp gaze is full of clarity.

She nudged Pei Fengzhi again.

"Hello! Pei Fengzhi! Hello!"

Pei Fengzhi remained motionless, as if the man had never woken up last night.

If Ye Ningwan hadn't been certain that the man was alright, she would have almost thought he was dead.

Just then, with a creak, the door to the new house opened.

A group of servants were about to come in, and Ye Ningwan had no choice but to grab the blanket and cover the two of them, then close her eyes and pretend to be asleep.

Sure enough, the first maid to enter the new house let out a piercing scream.

"ah!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream rang out, and then the maid ran out of the bridal chamber and bumped into the maid carrying the funeral clothes behind her.

Seeing the group of servants rolling on the ground in disarray, Madam Pei, standing at the door, frowned and reprimanded them unhappily.

"What are you doing! What's all this commotion? Haven't you ever seen a dead person before?!"

Everyone in the Pei family knew perfectly well that Pei Jiuye, whose ventilator had been removed on his wedding night, wouldn't survive until last night. They just didn't expect Ye Ningwan to be so bold. She didn't cry or make a fuss last night and just quietly slept with a dead man all night.

Pei Minghan, who came with Madam Pei, frowned impatiently, kicked aside several servants blocking her way, and said coldly.

"Make way, I want to go in and take a look!"

However, as soon as he entered, he was shocked by what he saw.

Pei Minghan's face was contorted, and he pointed at Ye Ningwan lying under Pei Fengzhi, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"You... Ye Ningwan... you actually... you even..."

Ye Ningwan opened her big, confused eyes and blinked innocently.

How can you blame her?

Upon hearing Pei Minghan's voice, Madam Pei also hurried in, her face filled with disbelief.

She had naturally heard Pei Minghan talk about Ye Ningwan's situation five years ago in private, and she blurted it out at that moment.

"You slut...you have no shame!"

Before she could finish her curse, Pei Fengzhi, who was on top of Ye Ningwan, suddenly moved and propped himself up with his hands.
