When Xu Nian returned home, she saw Yu Hao standing angrily at her door.
Upon seeing her return, Yu Hao's eyes lit up, and he immediately jogged over, saying, "Xu Nian, you're finally back."
“Yu Hao, you can go home now without worry. No one will lay a hand on you.” Xu Nian took a few steps back, widening the distance between them.
Yu Hao is not in danger now, but it's hard to say what might happen if he gets close to her.
"Xu Nian, I didn't come here to talk about this. You said you would make it up to me before, do you still keep your word?" Yu Hao's gaze was intense, his narrow eyes filled with blatant calculation.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian's expression turned cold.
Yu Hao's thoughts were written all over his face, and given that Zhao Xian had said Yu Hao wanted to seduce her, his purpose was self-evident.
"Yu Hao, there are some things I can't help you with," Xu Nian said, refusing.
“Xu Nian, you said you would make it up to me. I want to marry Zhao Xian. As long as you help me make this marriage happen, we'll be even.” Yu Hao didn’t know what it meant to know when to stop. He only knew that Xu Nian could help him achieve his wish.
"Yu Hao, I can't help you with this, and Zhao Xian isn't right for you," Xu Nian said earnestly.
Even if Zhao Xian were a woman, her husband would still be a nobleman of equal social standing.
Yu Hao wants to marry Zhao Xian as his legal husband, but regardless of whether Zhao Xian is male or female, it's an impossible task.
"Xu Nian, you can get her to protect me, you must have a way to get her to marry me, right?" Yu Hao completely ignored Xu Nian's words. He was only thinking about marrying Zhao Xian and enjoying the wealth and luxury of the Zhao family.
"Yu Hao, wake up. There's no future for you and Zhao Xian. Find another way to compensate him. You only have one chance. Think it through before you speak." Xu Nian's face was cold. She could understand Yu Hao's desire to marry into a good family and live a good life, but that didn't mean she had to help him.
He has personal charm and was able to marry into a high-class family; it's his skill that allowed him to do so. If you don't have the ability, forcing yourself to marry into a high-class family will cost you your life.
"I don't care, I'm going to marry Zhao Xian," Yu Hao said stubbornly.
Having witnessed the splendor of the Zhao family, he simply couldn't bring himself to marry into an ordinary family.
The Zhao family only has one daughter, Zhao Xian, so he married into the family purely to enjoy a life of luxury.
Why is Xu Nian unwilling to help him? Is it because she can't stand seeing him doing better than her?
Hmph! That's right. If she breaks off the engagement with him, she'll probably be a bachelor for life. Why would she want him to be happy?
Yu Hao felt he had figured out the cause and effect, and said with a pained expression, "Xu Nian, as long as you are willing to help me, I am willing to give you a hundred taels of silver as a reward after I marry into the Zhao family. What do you think?"
"No matter what, don't even dream about it, and don't even think about making a move on Zhao Xian, or you won't even know how you died," Xu Nian warned meaningfully.
Zhao Xian is no good person; he's ruthless!
Yu Hao's persistent harassment will only anger him and lead to dire consequences.
"Xu Nian, don't scare me. I'm not easily frightened. The more you can't stand to see me doing well, the better I'll live, and I'll make you furious!" Seeing that his humble pleas to Xu Nian were useless, Yu Hao immediately changed his attitude.
"Are you sick?" Xu Nian finally understood what it meant to say something to someone who doesn't see eye to eye.
She said so much to him, but in his eyes it was just that she couldn't stand to see him doing well.
She now seriously doubts whether there is any point in saving Yu Hao.
Not very bright, yet wanting to achieve instant success, aren't they afraid of falling to their deaths?
Xu Nian was certain that in the original storyline, he was able to marry the female lead only because of her philandering; it was all thanks to the plot.
"Xu Nian, you dare to insult me! I, Yu Hao, will remember this grudge." Yu Hao turned and left angrily, leaving Xu Nian feeling deeply powerless with his polite words.
As expected of a mission with a million points, she had previously thought that Ye Lin was the biggest obstacle to the mission.
Now it seems that it was clearly Yu Hao himself.
No, we can't let Yu Hao do whatever he wants.
If he were to die at the hands of Zhao Xian or Ye Lin, her mission would have failed.
One million points!
How many tasks would she have to complete to earn so many points?
It's unrealistic to marry Ye Lin off to a reliable person now.
Given his current mindset, marrying him would only bring trouble; let's not harm innocent people.
It seems there's only one last path left: to use methods to change Yu Hao.
Change his criteria for choosing a partner and change his values in life.
After a moment of troubled thought, Xu Nian came up with a suitable candidate.
Ye Lin didn't have any issues with Yu Hao. Handing Yu Hao over to him would not only save Yu Hao's life but also help her complete her mission.
As for what hardships or suffering Ye Lin would make Yu Hao endure, that was completely outside Xu Nian's consideration.
Who told Yu Hao to be her target!
In order to earn her one million points, Yu Hao had to be sacrificed.
Yu family.
Yu Hao, who was full of indignation, suddenly shivered. Why did he have the feeling that someone was watching him?
...
Xu Nian noticed that her father was particularly happy today. During dinner, he kept looking at her and smiling.
The eerie appearance made Xu Nian eat faster.
Under the guise of reviewing her studies, Xu Nian washed her own dishes and chopsticks, then fetched water and returned to her room.
After a quick wash, she lit a candle and waited for Ye Lin to arrive.
"My lady, are you waiting for me or reading by lamplight?" Ye Lin appeared like a ghost, silently pulling Xu Nian into his arms.
"Ye Lin, could you make some noise next time you come? You're scaring people to death." A pair of hands suddenly appeared in front of her, and Xu Nian almost screamed out loud.
"I was just trying to give you a surprise!" Ye Lin said awkwardly.
"I think it's more like being frightened," Xu Nian replied irritably.
"It's my fault for frightening my wife. How about I repay her with myself tonight?" Ye Lin brought her face close to Xu Nian's, a mischievous glint in her alluring face.
"No good." Xu Nian pushed Ye Lin away expressionlessly.
Doesn't he realize whether this is repayment to her or repayment to him?
When his advances were rejected, a gloomy look flashed across Ye Lin's eyes.
She's always like this; no matter how proactive he is, she ignores him.
What can she do to make him completely adorable?
"Ye Lin, I won't allow you to think such things." Xu Nian pinched his cheek as soon as she saw that his expression was off.
"My lady, you are so cold to me and so resistant to that kind of thing. Are you very dissatisfied with my performance?" Ye Lin was frustrated and saddened. He had tried his best to learn, but he still couldn't win her favor.
"No, it's because my body is too weak to handle you... Don't overthink it, I have no problem with you." Xu Nian's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke.
In Ye Lin's burning gaze, two blushes appeared on her somewhat pale face.
In a matriarchal world, admitting one's inadequacy is incredibly shameful.
But if she doesn't say anything, who knows what kind of trouble Ye Lin will cause her with his paranoia!
