"Who are you?" Zhao Zhen woke up.
Xu Nian was able to move by this time. She did not answer Zhao Zhen's question, but instead bit the man's thin lips hard.
"Hiss!" Zhao Zhen frowned, thinking that he had forcibly taken this woman, so he might as well let her throw a tantrum!
But this body is really killing me.
Zhao Zhen would not wrong himself. Since she was already his woman, he should enjoy everything about her.
He had no other thoughts than to indulge in a moment of pleasure.
Xu Nian thought that this person would let her go once he sobered up, but she didn't expect him to go even further.
Once a predator has its eye on its prey, it's impossible to get it to spit it out. It will only swallow it even more greedily until it has devoured everything, leaving not a trace.
...
The soft, delicate woman in his arms filled Zhao Zhen with a satisfied aftertaste, but since she had already fainted, it would be too much for him to continue.
Helpless, he got up and dressed, putting on the woman's clothes one by one, and then Zhao Zhen carried her back to his residence.
The General's Residence.
As soon as Zhao Zhen returned to his residence, he ordered his men to investigate everything about Xu Nian and also to take care of the person who drugged him that night.
Afterwards, he carried the person to take a bath.
He placed the woman on his bed and, seeing her brows furrowed in pain, realized he had acted rashly and that she might be injured.
Zhao Zhen took the medicine, took a few deep breaths before applying it to the patient, and then rushed off to take a bath.
Before falling asleep in his arms, he thought he would make a mental note of today's debts and collect them with interest once she recovered.
In her dream, Xu Nian saw herself being tightly encircled by a ferocious beast. It would occasionally stick out its tongue and lick her face, looking like it wanted to eat her but couldn't bear to, which made her feel uneasy.
She slept restlessly and felt very tired.
She opened her eyes in a daze, and the unfamiliar surroundings brought her back to her senses. Where was she?
The maid who had been keeping watch by Xu Nian's bedside was overjoyed to see that Xu Nian had woken up and called out to the outside, "Tell the general that the lady has woken up."
Madam? What madam?
Xu Nian looked puzzled: "Who are you calling 'Madam'?"
When she opened her mouth, she found that her voice was incredibly hoarse.
"You can go out first. I'll take care of Madam myself." Before the maid could reply, Zhao Zhen, dressed in plain clothes, came in carrying a bowl of steaming meat porridge.
The maidservant quickly left, not daring to glance at Zhao Zhen out of the corner of her eye, and closed the door behind her.
As Xu Nian saw Zhao Zhen walking towards her step by step, she instinctively hugged the blanket and shrank into the corner of the bed.
This shows how much of a shadow Zhao Zhen cast on her.
"Will you come over by yourself or should I carry you?" Zhao Zhen put the porridge on the table. Although he was asking Xu Nian, he had already walked over to her.
"Stop right there," Xu Nian said hoarsely, forcing herself to speak.
Zhao Zhen ignored Xu Nian and sat down on the edge of the bed. He then took out a letter from his pocket and said to Xu Nian, "This is a letter of divorce from the Liu family. It has been approved by the government."
Xu Nian took the divorce papers from his hand and examined them. The gist of the papers was that she would have no connection with the Liu family from now on, and that marriage would be a separate affair.
Zhao Zhen took out another letter and slowly said to Xu Nian, "This is a letter of severance written by your father himself."
"What did you do?" Xu Nian took the letter of severance and saw that her father was severing ties with her, and from now on she was no longer a daughter of the Xu family.
Zhao Zhen did not answer Xu Nian, but instead brought up another topic: "The Liu family has treated you badly, I can help you take revenge."
"Including ruining the Liu family and leaving them without a complete corpse?" Xu Nian calmed down at this moment. She wanted to see what the male lead was planning to do.
"Okay." Zhao Zhen nodded without hesitation.
"Why? Because I'm worthless now." Xu Nian tossed the two letters in her hand.
She now has neither a husband's family nor a father's family, truly becoming a powerless and lonely widow.
“Xu Nian, you are value in yourself!” Zhao Zhen’s deep eyes locked onto Xu Nian’s face, then looked into her eyes.
"You want me to submit to you?" Xu Nian asked incredulously.
No, what happened to the male lead being obsessed with power and indifferent to women?
She's probably been scammed again!
"I will marry you, and you will be my general's wife. The wedding date is set for half a month from now." Zhao Zhen didn't want to prepare for the wedding so hastily, but thinking about how hard he had worked last night, he was just afraid of the worst-case scenario.
It would be inappropriate to let her get pregnant before marrying him.
Xu Nian sensed something was wrong: "Are you crazy? You want me to be your wife?"
If he wants the throne, shouldn't he marry a woman who can help him?
"You don't want to?" Zhao Zhen's high expectations were shattered by Xu Nian. He looked at Xu Nian with a cold and gloomy expression.
"I...!" Xu Nian's words were interrupted by Yuan Bao.
“Host, you absolutely must not marry the male lead. It doesn’t matter how much you sleep with him, but if you marry him, you will take the female lead’s place and have to stay in this little world to live with him for the rest of your life.” Yuanbao’s words startled Xu Nian.
How could this happen? Shouldn't I have told her something this important a long time ago? "Yuanbao, why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Host, I never expected you to end up with the male lead so many times!" Yuanbao wiped his sweat.
"Wasn't this a setup you deliberately set up for me?" Xu Nian gritted her teeth.
Okay! She didn't lose out on 10,000 points; in fact, she could say she made a killing. It's just that the male lead was too much for her to handle.
"Host, it was a task issued by the main system. I didn't expect it to turn out like this." Yuanbao shifted the blame, resolutely refusing to admit that he had sold out the host for two hundred points.
"I'll settle the score with you later." Xu Nian cut off contact with Yuanbao. Her top priority was not to marry the male lead. She didn't want to stay in this small world forever; a lifetime was too long.
Xu Nian's long silence made Zhao Zhen sneer. He stood up and looked down at Xu Nian, saying, "Whether you like it or not, from the moment you became my woman, you can only be mine for the rest of your life. You have no way out."
When the two letters in Xu Nian's hands were taken away, she immediately understood Zhao Zhen's words and why he had gone to such lengths to obtain these two letters.
"Why make things difficult for a weak woman like me? If... if you like this body, I'm willing to serve you." Xu Nian was afraid of being left behind. Rather than being left to spend her life with someone, she would rather make some other exchange.
"Fine, very well. I'd like to see how you're going to serve me." Zhao Zhen's face darkened.
The woman he had his eye on didn't want to marry him. He had clearly told her everything, cutting off all her escape routes. Her only option was to depend on him.
Xu Nian didn't care about all that. As long as she didn't marry the male lead and didn't stay, she was fine with anything.
