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

After calming down his chaotic thoughts, Su Bai suddenly realized that he hadn't finished researching the information.

The information he found today was only useful for reference and did not help him find another enemy. So Su Bai decided that he would have to go again when he had time.

Hopefully I'll be luckier next time and won't run into the wrong person!

Just as she finished thinking this, Hua Gengchen's voice came from outside the door, "Madam, have you rested well? Dinner is ready."

Su Bai thought that there was no difference between Hua Gengchen calling her "Madam" and Hua Jueming and the others calling her that, but he immediately noticed the difference between the two.

Although Hua Gengchen's expression was cold when he called her "Madam," his tone was warm, and he always felt that his voice was seductive, hooking his heart every time he heard it, making it impossible to treat him with a normal attitude; while Hua Jueming and the others were respectful in their attitude and tone when they called her "Madam," and apart from feeling the respect that Hua Jueming and the others showed him from the bottom of their hearts, he could not feel anything else.

"Here it is." Su Bai suppressed all the thoughts in his mind; filling his stomach was the most important thing right now.

Although he ate lunch a little late, he spent most of the afternoon using his brain, which was just as mentally taxing as physical exertion. Besides, this was also the time he was used to eating dinner.

He took a deep breath before opening the door, not even glancing at Hua Gengchen who was waiting for him at the door, and walked straight down to the restaurant.

Hua Gengchen, who had been completely ignored by Su Bai, raised an eyebrow and then followed Su Bai's steps.

"This is delicious! This tastes good too! This is good for your health! This one too, and this one, this one..." Less than three minutes after Su Bai sat down, Hua Gengchen filled the bowl in front of him with his chopsticks, the enormous size of which seemed to have no regard for the bowl's capacity.

Hua Gengchen looked at Su Bai with concern and said, "Eat up! Eat more and gain some weight. Su Bai is too thin right now; he can wrap his arms around his waist with one hand. He's afraid he might accidentally break Su Bai if he uses too much force."

Su Bai stared dumbfounded at the bowl in front of him, which was now overburdened. After a long while, he finally turned his gaze to Hua Gengchen and pleaded, "Please, please change back quickly!" He was starting to doubt his existence if this continued. What on earth was Hua Gengchen trying to do?!

"???" Hua Gengchen blinked in confusion. What did that mean?

"Hua Gengchen, I really can't take this anymore! Have you taken the wrong medicine? Do you need a doctor? I'll call one right now!" Su Bai said, "Can you please go back to your unapproachable self? I'm really not used to you like this!"

Previously, they had kept a considerable distance between them during the meal, but now, Hua Gengchen not only sat down next to him but also so attentively served him food. Su Bai felt both flattered and terrified.

Hua Gengchen finally understood what Su Bai meant, but he was very sorry, he couldn't do it!

He kept his distance from Su Bai before because he hadn't realized his own feelings for him, but now that he has, how could he still act the same way?

“Madam, I’m not sick, and I haven’t taken the wrong medicine. I’m in excellent health! If you don’t believe me, you can come and check for yourself.” Hua Gengchen raised an eyebrow at Su Bai, the corners of his mouth curving upwards. He couldn’t suppress the smile that was already on his lips. He said with a smile, “As for the behavior you mentioned that you’re not used to, I’ll have to ask you to get used to it as soon as possible, because from now on, this is the only way I will act in front of you. The ‘keep away’ attitude is for outsiders, but you are my wife.”

Su Bai, who had been bombarded by nuclear weapons once again: "..."

What exactly did he just hear?

Hua Gengchen smiled and helped Su Bai pull his jaw back down from its shock. He couldn't help but chuckle and patted Su Bai's head with his large hand. What should he do if he felt even better?

Su Bai was stunned for a long time. He realized that things had gone out of his control ever since Hua Gengchen dragged him away from the library, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get everything back on track.

"Hua Gengchen, what's wrong with you?" Su Bai put down his chopsticks and asked. He couldn't find a solution without understanding the situation.

"Nothing much!" Hua Gengchen said casually, his gaze towards Su Bai gentle and doting. "It's just that I suddenly realized I've fallen for you."

boom.

Su Bai felt as if his already sluggish brain had been hit by a nuclear bomb, leaving him completely shattered.

like.

Hua Gengchen said she had fallen in love with him.

Su Bai shook his head violently, clearing away all the jumbled thoughts that had popped into his head. He then reached out and cupped Hua Gengchen's head, examining it from head to toe, but couldn't find a single problem.

Looking into Hua Gengchen's eyes, Su Bai asked herself, "How could you like me?" If she were Hua Gengchen, she would never like Su Bai.

Hua Gengchen asked with a smile, "Why can't I like you?"

"Uh." Su Bai was caught off guard. This question was indeed difficult to answer. After all, everyone has their own preferences. What if Hua Gengchen liked his type?

Ke Hua Gengchen shouldn't have liked him!

Su Bai abruptly released Hua Gengchen's head, looked away, and said firmly, "Hua Gengchen, I can't reciprocate your feelings." So, go and like someone else! It's much better to find someone who reciprocates your feelings and grow old together than to waste your time on him.

"That's not necessarily true!" Hua Gengchen was extremely confident in himself. "It's my business if I like you and want to be good to you, Madam. You can't make that decision for me."

After being rejected by Su Bai, Hua Gengchen remembered that Su Bai had mentioned being hurt in a relationship. However, he clearly remembered looking at Su Bai's information before the marriage alliance. Before returning to the Su family, Su Bai had never been in a relationship. So when did he get hurt in a relationship?

Hua Gengchen suddenly realized that there might be something about Su Bai that he didn't know.

“But your feelings and actions have already caused me distress.” Su Bai pointed out bluntly. He was already on the verge of losing control of his emotions, and Hua Gengchen’s actions were clearly an attempt to make him surrender.

But Su Bai didn't want to, or rather, he didn't dare!

In his previous life, he loved Su Yangxia wholeheartedly. He would have given her his life without hesitation, even if she asked for it. But what was the result?

He never won Su Yangxia's heart from beginning to end. Su Yangxia never treated him as a pawn, a pawn that could be used ruthlessly when useful and discarded at any time when useless.

Su Yangxia could have simply asked for his life, but instead, she took it without asking. The damage this inflicted on Su Bai was etched into his soul. He was truly afraid that if he opened his heart to someone and believed in love, he would be hurt again and be completely devastated.

He didn't burn many incense sticks, and the luck of getting a second chance wouldn't fall on his head every time.

Therefore, it's best to stay single and avoid romantic relationships.

This was the only way Su Bai could think of to protect himself from harm.

"I'm sorry!" Hua Gengchen leaned closer to Su Bai, planting a kiss on her forehead. He said in a barely audible voice, "Madam, I didn't expect to cause you so much trouble." He gently turned Su Bai's face towards him, meeting her gaze, and said meaningfully, "But Madam, I've fallen for you. I can't control my feelings and want to be good to you! My change might have been a bit rapid, but I hope you can get used to it, because I won't change." Who was the person who hurt Su Bai? Hua Gengchen secretly vowed that if he found out, he would make sure he died a horrible death, and he would chase his soul to the underworld to give him a good beating. Otherwise, he wouldn't be satisfied.

Why does that guy, whose name I don't even know, have the chance to win Su Bai's favor?

Hua Gengchen had lived for tens of thousands of years and had never spoken to anyone so softly. Su Bai was the first person in history to do so.

Hua Gengchen thought his words were gentle, but Su Bai didn't hear them that way. Su Bai felt that Hua Gengchen was domineering and self-centered! Even though he had said he didn't like it, Hua Gengchen still wanted him to get used to it!

Habit my ass!

"Hua Gengchen, can't you understand human language?" Su Bai was furious. She slapped Hua Gengchen's hand away and said angrily, "I already said I'm hard to deal with and you expect me to get used to it? Who do you think you are?!"

Hua Gengchen replied matter-of-factly, "I am your husband."

With a single sentence, Su Bai was effectively silenced, and by the time he tried to speak again, he had already forgotten what he had intended to say.

Feeling her heart growing increasingly out of control, Su Bai cried out in panic, "That won't be the case anymore! I want a divorce!"

Aaaaaaahhhhhh! I can't take it anymore, he really can't hold on any longer!

A divorce is a must!

Now!immediately!immediately!

Su Bai regretted it again, wondering why he had chosen Hua Gengchen in the first place. If he had known earlier that Hua Gengchen would fall for him, Su Bai would never have chosen Hua Gengchen.

Unfortunately, there's no going back.

"No! I won't agree!" Hua Gengchen's expression changed, and the familiar cold aura instantly enveloped the entire restaurant, but it had no effect on Su Bai.

Su Bai belongs to him, and can only be his!

"We must leave!" Su Bai insisted on his own idea. Hua Gengchen was too dangerous now and they had to get away from him as soon as possible.

"I said I disagree!" Hua Gengchen insisted on his point of view. "Madam, liking someone can be a matter for one person, but divorce is a matter for two people. Without my consent, you will be my wife for this life, the next life, and the life after that, for all eternity."

"You!" Su Bai was speechless, because what Hua Gengchen said was true. Given his current status, if he were to file for divorce, Su Shengrong would probably skin him alive before Hua Gengchen could even make a move.

“Madam,” Hua Gengchen called softly to Su Bai, his tone gentle and indulgent, “Can’t you try to make this affection a matter between the two of us?”

"No way!" Su Bai said irritably. He had to get back at least once! Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing, since he could never win an argument with him!

Did Hua Gengchen graduate from any debate school?

"Alright, alright, whatever you say, Madam." Hua Gengchen quickly changed his tone, and before Su Bai could even recover, Hua Gengchen continued, "It's okay if it can't be today, tomorrow is fine too, and if that doesn't work, the day after tomorrow. I can wait!"

Su Bai: "..."

Is it still possible to have a friendly exchange?

Obviously not!

Su Bai angrily turned her head away from Hua Gengchen, thinking, "That guy is toxic!"

Pushing aside the bowl that Hua Gengchen had filled with vegetables for him, Su Bai picked up his chopsticks and began to eat in a sullen voice. He was hungry and his mind couldn't keep up. He thought, "Let's wait until I'm full before we continue this discussion!"
