After being reborn, her aloof ex-husband and her crazy deceased husband got into a fight.

It's impossible for Meng Yu to let go of Gan Cai'er. The regrets and remorse of his past life make it impossible for him to let go, and he won't let go no matter what the cost.

So he took Gan Cai'er's hand again, and straightened her fingers one by one, then intertwined his own fingers with hers, their ten fingers tightly entwined.

Meng Yu smiled with satisfaction.

"Let go? Impossible. Nannan, don't even think about it."

It was a complete misunderstanding; there was no way to communicate with this person.

Her anger could no longer be contained, and it surged straight to Gan Cai'er's forehead. She tried to shake Meng Yu off with all her might... but to her surprise, she couldn't shake him off at all! Instead, Meng Yu took the opportunity to pull her over and half-embrace her in his arms.

Gan Cai'er was furious and stomped her foot on Meng Yu's foot. With two loud "plop" sounds, although she stomped hard, Meng Yu chuckled softly in her ear, as if her action was just a way of being coquettish.

Gan Cai'er had no choice but to stop. She tried to get up and leave, struggling to move away. Meng Yu tightened his grip, holding her tightly in his arms, preventing her from leaving even slightly.

"Shall we set a time?" Meng Yu whispered in her ear.

"What time?" Gan Cai'er hesitated for a moment, somewhat puzzled.

"The wedding date," Meng Yu said with a smile.

"What does your wedding date have to do with me?!" Gan Cai'er was furious.

Why doesn't he ask his parents or the Mei family when he and Mei Jiayin will get married? Why is he asking her instead?! Is he deliberately trying to make her uncomfortable?!

"No, my dear, it's our wedding day." Meng Yu buried his head in Gan Cai'er's neck and took a deep breath.

"Who wants to marry you?!" Gan Cai'er jumped up in surprise, but the next moment, she was firmly pressed back into Meng Yu's arms.

“Let’s set it for the day that old scoundrel passes the imperial examination. Of the four great joys in life, he gets the ‘the day his name is on the golden list,’ and we get the ‘wedding night.’ It’s a way of celebrating together,” Meng Yu said to himself.

Gan Cai'er felt a chill run down her spine! She could tell that Meng Yu was serious, and there was no hint of joking in his voice.

Is this some kind of attempt to drag her down the same old path from her past life?

What sins did I commit to deserve such a domineering and unreasonable bastard? If I had known it would turn out like this, why did I let her be reborn?

Do you think she didn't suffer enough in her past life?

Gan Cai'er grew angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She felt wronged, sad, angry, heartbroken, helpless... All sorts of emotions suddenly surged up like a tide, deeply overwhelming her.

A tear, unintentionally, slipped from her eye and landed on Meng Yu's hand. Then, one tear after another, like pearls from a broken string, fell incessantly from her eyes.

Meng Yu felt as if his hands had been scorched by a spark, and he panicked instantly. He dared not hold her any longer and quickly loosened his grip. He lifted Gan Cai'er's face with both hands, wiping away her tears little by little, and gently coaxed her in a low voice.

"I was wrong, it's all my fault. Sweetie, don't cry, don't cry~~~"

"If you don't like that day, then we won't use that day, okay?"

"Sweetie, stop crying. From now on, whatever you say goes, I'll listen to you, okay?"

Gan Cai'er's tears were like a handful of hot oil burning Meng Yu's heart, causing him excruciating pain. At this moment, as long as Gan Cai'er stopped crying, he would gladly give her his heart and soul without batting an eye.

"Then please don't come looking for me again, okay?" Gan Cai'er wiped away her tears upon hearing this, her eyes still red and brimming with tears as she looked at him.

Meng Yu paused in his actions and stopped trying to comfort her. After a moment, he continued wiping away her tears and leaned down to gently kiss her reddened eyes.

"Sweetheart, please choose another one. I really can't do this."

Meng Yu's voice was low, soft, and gentle, seemingly even doting, but in reality, he wouldn't give an inch.

A sudden wave of sadness washed over Gan Cai'er. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Then let's do it before the imperial examination."

"Don't come looking for me before the imperial examination. Lan Tingzhou is a very perceptive person; he already had his suspicions last time."

For now, she could only settle for second best, prioritizing ensuring Lan Tingzhou could participate in the exam smoothly without interference. The difference in strength between her and Meng Yu was vast; a direct confrontation offered her no chance of victory.

"My dear, the imperial examination is still three months away, that's a long time..."

Seeing that Gan Cai'er had stopped crying and returned to normal, Meng Yu started to act spoiled.

"Meng Yu, do you know the saying, 'A man's word is his bond'? You just said that you would listen to me no matter what I said!!"

Gan Cai'er slapped Meng Yu's hand away.

“Then you have to give me something to look forward to, so I can get through this long winter…” Meng Yu’s voice was low and hoarse.

"Thoughts? What thoughts?" Gan Cai'er asked, puzzled and somewhat bewildered.

Then, she saw Meng Yu suddenly raise his head, lean closer to her, and then his lips were captured between her teeth.

"Boom~~~"

Gan Cai'er's scalp tingled, and even the roots of her hair stood on end!

She suddenly struggled desperately, pushing and shoving, but Meng Yu remained as firm as a rock, unmoving, firmly restraining her, leaving her no possibility of escape or hiding.

He held her in his mouth like an eagle carrying a chick, using his sharp beak and claws to firmly control his prey, then tearing, chewing, and grinding her away bit by bit...

She couldn't fight him, she couldn't break free, and she couldn't win by biting him. In the end, Gan Cai'er was exhausted and had no choice but to let him do as he pleased. Only after Meng Yu had kissed her enough and was satisfied did she finally gain a little freedom.

Her lips were burning with pain; Gan Cai'er didn't even need to look to know that the corner of her lip must have been cut again. That bastard Meng Yu, he's like a cannibal, he won't stop until he's bitten her until she draws blood!

Gan Cai'er secretly made up her mind that once she had taken all the revenge, she would leave Kyoto and run as far away as possible.

Gan Cai'er thought this meeting would be an opportunity for open and honest communication, a chance for the two to have a frank discussion and part amicably, but it ended in discord.

She felt a deep sense of powerlessness and confusion.
