Reborn through an arranged marriage, I awakened the Shennong farming system.

“The future is indeed uncertain.” Hua Gengchen looked coldly at Li Chengtian and said in a deep voice, “But I can guarantee that you will never get what you want!” After saying that, Hua Gengchen picked Su Bai up in his arms. They couldn’t stay here any longer; he was afraid he would lose control of himself if they stayed any longer.

Something's wrong with him!

Li Chengtian, a fragile human-like creature, could easily provoke him with a few words, and he would feel an urge to kill him—something that had never happened before.

Hua Gengchen had only taken two steps with Su Bai in his arms when Hua Jueming and the brown bear spirit appeared out of nowhere and went straight to Su Bai's seat. One of them tidied up Su Bai's things, while the other tidied up the books Su Bai had found to read, put them back on the bookshelf according to their categories, and then they followed Hua Gengchen's steps.

As Li Chengtian watched the departing figure, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. What should he do now that things are even more interesting?

The moment Su Bai was picked up by Hua Gengchen, his mind went blank. What was going on today? Why did everyone except him seem a bit off?

After being carried to the car by Hua Gengchen, Hua Gengchen turned his head away from Su Bai, making it clear that he didn't want to talk to her. Hua Jueming and the brown bear spirit didn't dare say anything after returning either, and simply got into the car and drove off.

It was quite some time after the car drove away that Su Bai came to his senses. Just as he was about to ask Hua Gengchen why he was in the library, he noticed Hua Gengchen's attitude of refusing to talk to him.

Su Bai was both amused and exasperated. What exactly did Hua Gengchen want to do?

She had just stirred up his emotions; was she now thinking of cutting ties with him or something?

Does this person have a split personality?

"Hua Gengchen? Hua Gengchen?" Su Bai turned around and looked at Hua Gengchen, calling his name twice. "Why are you here?" Didn't you say you were busy with work at the company? So busy that you didn't even have time to see him? Why are you at the city library now?

It's not just a coincidence; Hua Jueming even followed along. This coincidence seems too deliberate.

Hua Gengchen didn't answer Su Bai's question. He suddenly turned to look at Su Bai and asked angrily, "Do you not want me to come?"

"Huh?" Su Bai was dumbfounded.

"Do you feel like I interrupted your date with him?" Su Bai didn't answer, and Hua Gengchen continued to question her, "Is it because of him that you're so eager to divorce me?"

Before Su Bai could speak, the car suddenly veered off course, and the people inside were thrown to the side. Su Bai's body also lurched uncontrollably toward Hua Gengchen. Fearing that something might happen to this fragile human, Hua Gengchen quickly reached out to protect Su Bai's head and waist.

The brown bear spirit realized something was wrong and immediately adjusted the steering wheel. He had just heard something frightening, which was why he hadn't been able to hold onto the wheel. Once the car was back in the lane, it gradually stabilized.

Su Bai then realized that she was still firmly protected by Hua Gengchen. Hua Gengchen noticed as well and quickly withdrew his hand, awkwardly explaining, "I was just afraid that if something happened to you, the driver wouldn't be able to take the responsibility." It was definitely not because he was worried about Su Bai getting hurt!

"Thank you." Su Bai's heart was still beating a little fast, and she didn't know whether it was because she was close to Hua Gengchen or because of the joy of surviving a disaster.

After confirming that the two people in the back seat were alright, Hua Jueming glared angrily at the brown bear spirit. How could it be so out of control? What if it caused some trouble?

The brown bear spirit also felt innocent; it wasn't entirely his fault! Who told his master to make such a loud and unexpected announcement without saying a word? How could he not be surprised?

Not only was the brown bear spirit surprised, but Hua Jueming was also very surprised. He had always thought that his master and his wife had a good relationship, so why would they suddenly get a divorce?

When did this happen?

Hua Jueming racked his brains but couldn't find anything suspicious. Could it be that his master's skills weren't up to par yet?

After much thought, Hua Jueming could only come up with this one possibility.

However, this is not something they can help with. If they could help, they would have already done so. Since their master hasn't mastered it yet, it's not something they can interfere with.

The heavy atmosphere was unexpectedly interrupted. Hua Gengchen wanted to repeat the question but felt embarrassed. As the Demon Emperor, the dragon with the highest combat power in the dragon race, how could he care about such a trivial matter? But he really wanted to know Su Bai's thoughts. Was Su Bai already having coffee with Li Chengtian to build rapport if he hadn't appeared?

Hua Gengchen stared at Su Bai's blurry reflection in the window for a long time, but still couldn't find that Su Bai wanted to answer his question. He was instantly furious.

He turned Su Bai around to face him, still fuming, and demanded, "Why won't you answer my question?"

Su Bai was silent for a moment, then looked up and met Hua Gengchen's deep eyes, and said, "How do you want me to answer?"

Hua Gengchen's every move and even his words showed that he had fallen for her, but Hua Gengchen himself just didn't realize it! His heart was clearly already stirred by Hua Gengchen's actions, yet Hua Gengchen himself was still questioning his relationship with Li Chengtian!

Hua Gengchen also fell silent for a moment, which was uncommon. How did he expect Su Bai to answer?

He naturally wanted Su Bai to answer truthfully!

No, that's not right!

What if Su Bai's answer is different from his own? Should he accept it or not?

Su Bai calmly looked at Hua Gengchen, whose eyes revealed a struggle. To be honest, his mind and heart were in chaos, and he had no idea what he was doing.

When Su Bai heard Hua Gengchen's domineering declaration, "This person is mine," his heart instantly raced. The emotions that had been suppressed seemed to have found an outlet, bursting forth and taking over his mind at lightning speed, adding something called love to his previously rational brain.

But soon, Su Bai's mind was completely calmed down by Hua Gengchen's questions.

“Su Bai,” Hua Gengchen said, “I hope you will answer truthfully!”

Hua Gengchen hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to listen to Su Bai's true thoughts.

“Okay.” Su Bai nodded and answered Hua Gengchen’s questions one by one. “First, I didn’t mean to keep you from coming. Second, I wasn’t on a date with Li Chengtian. We just happened to run into each other. If you had come a minute earlier or a minute later, you would have seen me seriously and firmly rejecting Li Chengtian. Third, my divorce from you wasn’t because of anyone else, it was just my own problem.”

"What's the problem?" Hua Gengchen pressed.

Su Bai looked at Hua Gengchen's face, sighed softly, and then said, "I was once deceived in love, and lost terribly. So since then, I have vowed never to believe in love again, and never to fall in love with anyone!" She paused slightly, and continued, "Marrying you was just because I wanted to escape the Su family. I didn't want to be a pawn in the Su family's hands. The reason I filed for divorce is because I realized that it was very unfair to you that I occupied the position of Mrs. Hua. I will never believe in love again, but you are not. I shouldn't deprive you of the opportunity to be happy."

"I don't need the chance to be happy! I just want you!" Hua Gengchen said without thinking, and he was stunned after he said it.

Su Bai was also stunned for a moment, then noticed the confusion in Hua Gengchen's eyes. He chuckled and said calmly, "Hua Gengchen, I appreciate your care during this time. Let's part ways amicably!"

"A clean break?" Hua Gengchen pondered the words, finding them jarring and completely contrary to his wishes. He had initially felt a slight sense of relief upon hearing Su Bai say that he had no contact with Li Chengtian, but that relief had vanished without a trace.

“Yes, let’s part amicably!” Su Bai looked calmly at Hua Gengchen. He didn’t want to, and dared not, gamble. Love was the most elusive thing in the world. Believing in love was not as good as believing in himself. At least he wouldn’t lie to himself. “Because we didn’t have time to do a prenuptial agreement before the marriage, the divorce agreement must specifically state that your money has nothing to do with me. The rest are the things you gave me. I can transfer that 100 million in pocket money back to you tomorrow. The betrothal gifts are in the room. You can pick them up anytime. I haven’t touched them.”

Su Bai's attitude of wanting to completely sever ties with him caused Hua Gengchen a sharp pain in his heart, as if he were about to lose something important.

"Oh, right! And this bracelet too." Su Bai held up her right hand and offered it to Hua Gengchen. "This bracelet must be very valuable! You can keep it too!"

Hua Gengchen grabbed Su Bai's outstretched wrist and asked coldly, "You're so eager to divorce me? You can't wait to sever all ties with me, and you wish we could never have anything to do with each other again?"

Su Bai didn't answer.

Seeing this, Hua Gengchen felt a surge of anger and impulse, and grabbed Su Bai's wrist, pulling him into his arms. He pressed down hard on Su Bai's waist, making Su Bai unable to move.

"Hua Gengchen, you do..."

The rest of his words were silenced by Hua Gengchen's lips.

Su Bai's eyes widened suddenly, and he used his free left hand to push Hua Gengchen away. He didn't want to receive a kiss that was left unexplained.

Hua Gengchen felt Su Bai's struggle and tightened his grip on Su Bai's waist, forcing their chests to press tightly together. Through their thin clothes, their temperatures began to blend and eventually merged.

At the same time, Hua Gengchen's kiss became fierce, carrying an irresistible and forceful flavor, leaving Su Bai nowhere to escape and unable to breathe.

Never having experienced such an intense kiss before, Su Bai felt his heart pounding in his throat, which filled him with fear.

The severe lack of oxygen caused Su Bai's mind to go blank for a moment. The overwhelming sensation from the kiss crashed against the high wall of reason in Su Bai's mind, leaving him tormented by both ice and fire.

Just when it seemed they were about to be completely defeated, Hua Gengchen suddenly ended the kiss.

Oxygen re-entered Su Bai's mind, but the high wall called reason had already begun to crack.

The kiss that had been pressing against Su Bai's waist slowly moved upwards, gently patting Su Bai's back. After he caught his breath, the hand moved forward again, lifting Su Bai's chin.

Looking at those lips that had turned crimson because of him, Hua Gengchen's eyes darkened, and he curled his lips into a smile, saying, "Su Bai, I am certain once again that I do not want to divorce you, so I will absolutely not get a divorce!"
