On the day I was kicked out of my parents’ home, I had a flash marriage with the richest man.

Ji Yunxi sent the short video she shot to Chu Manke.

No matter how much Chu Manke kept asking, what happened to An Jun? What happened?

Voice calls, video calls, and phone calls kept coming one after another, but Ji Yunxi didn't answer any of them, nor did she reply.

Chu Manke was completely flustered and immediately bought a plane ticket back home.

After a flight of more than ten hours, Chu Manke returned to Tinglanyuan. The house was quiet, without a single sound.

There was not even a shadow of a person.

The house was pitch black, with only the solar street lights in the garden outside the window casting a faint yellow light, allowing one to barely see the scene inside the house.

Why is no one at home?

Just as Chu Manke anxiously took out her cell phone and called En Ning to ask where An Jun was, a familiar low male voice came from the darkness.

"Little princess, you are finally back."

The name was so familiar, yet Chu Manke felt as if she were in another world and her heart was pounding.

Chu Manke looked over and saw a tall figure slowly walking out of the darkness, hugging her and holding her tightly in his arms.

Chu Manke realized that she had been fooled again, and she kept struggling and beating, "You actually lied to me again! You big liar! You bastard! Let me go!"

Chu Manke was so angry that she burst into tears.

God knows how anxious she was on the way back, she wished she could grow a pair of wings and fly back.

An Jun actually lied to her again and even teamed up with everyone to lie to her.

Did you know that she hates deception the most?

Chu Manke's fists rained down on An Jun's chest, but he didn't feel any pain at all. He hugged Chu Manke even tighter, his voice hoarse.

"I can't find you, so I have no choice but to do this! Don't leave me again, okay? You hate me for lying to you, and I hate not being able to find you! If I can't see you forever, I might as well turn into a vegetable again. At least you can still be by my side and accompany me forever."

Chu Manke got even angrier after hearing this. "Do you really like becoming a vegetable, a living dead? Lying on the bed unconscious and without any life? You feel comfortable, but the ones who care about you are the ones who are sad and upset!"

"Do you admit that you care about me?" An Jun asked happily.

"I don't care about you!" Chu Manke said stubbornly.

"My little princess, just admit it. Everyone has said that you took care of me without sleep or rest during the time I was sick."

"Do you know what the happiest thing in this world is? It's being able to get sick, because when you're sick, there's someone who cares about you and takes care of you, and you can give yourself completely to that person!"

"You are that person. The one who makes me dare to be sick and feel that being sick is a happy thing."

"Shut up! If you get sick again, I won't take care of you! Who wants to take care of you, a big liar!" Chu Manke stepped hard on An Jun's foot, causing An Jun to wrinkle his nose in pain.

"Your bad plan is what I hate the most! If you trick me back, will I forgive you? An Jun, you are a big liar! I will never forgive you again."

Chu Man saw that An Jun still didn't let her go, so she lowered her head and bit An Jun's shoulder hard.

An Jun groaned in pain, letting Chu Manke bite him, and said silently, "Then what do you want me to do? I can't find you. If I don't trick you back, how can I find you? How can I admit my mistake and apologize to you in person?"

Chu Man didn't want to listen.

What she wants is never deception, what she wants is sincerity, she doesn't need even a white lie.

Chu Manke pushed An Jun away and turned to run out. She didn't know when a group of people gathered at the door and the lights were turned on so brightly that Chu Manke could hardly open her eyes.

Ji Yunxi was the first to step out of the crowd and apologized to Chu Manke, "This was my bad idea!"

Then, Ji Yunxi said, "Man Ke, there is no need to use this method to trick you back. Your brother is interfering. My brother can't catch up with you even if he chases you to the ends of the earth."

"Look at my brother. He has become so miserable just to find you!" Ji Yunxi pulled An Jun, who had a stubble on his face and deep eye sockets, in front of Chu Manke. "Look at him. He is so thin that he has fine lines on his face. He has really become an old man!"

Chu Manke saw clearly that An Jun looked like a wild man now, and was speechless for a while, "Why don't you shave your beard? It's so ugly."

An Jun didn't care at all, "When you forgive me, I will shave my beard, otherwise I will keep it forever."

"Who cares about you! What does it have to do with me if you want to become an ugly old man?"

Chu Manke snorted and turned to go upstairs, but An Jun grabbed her arm and begged softly.

"Manke, please forgive me!"

As An Jun spoke, he pulled over the washboard that had been prepared long ago and knelt on it.

He knelt so firmly that you could almost hear the click of his kneecaps hitting the washboard. It hurt just by looking at it.

The people around exclaimed in amazement, praising An Jun's decisiveness and sincerity.

Chu Manke was at a loss for a moment. She looked at everyone and then at An Jun.

"What are you doing! Hurry up and get up! A man's knees are made of gold, how can you kneel down so easily?"

An Jun shook his head. "If you don't forgive me, I won't get up. I will keep kneeling! Even if my legs become broken, I won't get up."

En Ning came out of the upstairs room wrapped in a coat, stood at the stairs, looked at the lively scene in the living room downstairs, and exclaimed, "It's so lively! They're even kneeling on the washboard! Let's eat durian instead, that would be more sincere."

Aunt Liao slapped her thigh when she heard this and said, "There really is durian. I'll go get it."

Chu Man could see that Aunt Liao was serious and stamped her feet in anger, "Stop making trouble! Durian is so hard, do you want him to become disabled?"

En Ning raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you heartbroken?"

"I……"

Chu Manke was speechless for a while, "I don't feel sorry for him, who would feel sorry for him!"

Chu Manke covered her hot cheeks, buried her head, and quickly went upstairs back to her room.

She thought if she dodged it, An Jun would get up.

Unexpectedly, An Jun was serious this time. Chu Man didn't say she forgave him, so he really knelt on the washboard and refused to get up.

Everyone pretended not to see it and went about their own business.

Everyone can see what Chu Man is thinking. She once swore that she would not forgive An Jun, but now she is too embarrassed to back down.

Moreover, An Jun deceived Chu Manke several times in the way that she hated the most, which continued to magnify the resentment accumulated in her heart.

Seeing that Chu Manke had returned to her room and had not come out for a long time, An Jun knelt at the door of Chu Manke's room with a washboard in his hand.

He said to Chu Manke inside, "Manke, I will kneel outside your door until you forgive me."

"I was wrong, Manke. I'm not a human being. I'm a bastard. I shouldn't have lied to you! I'll accept any punishment you give me! It's all my fault. I didn't know how to cherish you!"

An Jun knelt outside Chu Manke's door and confessed.

Chu Manke was so angry that she covered her ears, but she could still hear An Jun's voice.

Just when An Jun had been kneeling for an hour and a half, his feet had become numb and completely unconscious, and his face had turned extremely pale, Chu Manke opened the door.

An Jun hurriedly insisted on kneeling straight, "Man Ke..."

"Do you want to kneel down again?" Chu Manke asked angrily.

"Until you forgive me!" An Jun tried hard to hold on.

Chu Manke's eyes turned red and she pushed An Jun.

"Are you stupid?"

Chu Manke didn't have much strength, but An Jun, whose feet were numb and unconscious, couldn't use the pillar to balance himself and fell to the ground.
