On the day of her return to China, she was tied up and coaxed by the richest man to get her marriage

Yu Jinzhao blinked, her gaze falling on his towering eyebrows and eyes, which were dark and indifferent.

Indeed, it was just an illusion.

No one would like that spoiled and willful Miss Yu, not even her closest relatives, and certainly not Si Qing!

Lost in thought, her arm fell limply to her side, but he gripped it tightly again and pulled her forward, pressing the cold muzzle of the gun against Jiang Yinghua's forehead.

In an instant, Jiang Yinghua screamed even louder, feeling as if she was about to be sent to meet the King of Hell at any moment, convulsing and trembling in terror.

Yu Jinzhao's heart was in her throat. He was guiding her fingers to fiddle with the trigger, as if he could pull the switch at any moment, and her back tensed instinctively.

He sensed her confusion, and his deep voice reassured her.

"Wife, I am your safety net. You can confidently move forward, okay?"

Wife...

OK……

The way he uttered those words was both tender and unrestrained, extremely ambiguous.

No woman can resist the sudden tenderness of the cold-hearted Yama.

Even if such gentleness has ulterior motives.

She felt a burning sensation in her ears, her breath catching slightly, but she remained composed, her gaze both gentle and stubborn as she stared at him and retorted.

Are you trying to incite me?!

The implication is that he didn't want to take responsibility and was using her.

Si Qing's eyes darkened instantly. Surprisingly, he wasn't angry at her speculation; instead, he thought she was quite capable.

She was upset.

I dared to refute him.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"We are husband and wife, we are inseparable, who said that?"

She admitted, "I said it."

The man was extremely patient, his husky voice coaxing, "So, is there a difference between me killing him and you killing him?"

"This is just the official statement, intended to shatter future generations' illusions about marriage, but the real story is quite different."

Si Qing lazily raised an eyebrow, looking like he was all ears.

Yu Jinzhao cleared his throat and spoke clearly and distinctly.

“Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately.”

Si Qing, "..."

I've learned something new, thank you.

The butler standing next to him was initially quite frightened, but upon hearing Yu Jinzhao's words, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. He quickly covered his mouth, but couldn't stop the laughter from escaping his throat, making a series of "pfft pfft pfft" sounds.

Si Qing gave him a cool glance.

Butler Si froze, then quickly turned around, trying hard to suppress his laughter until his face turned red.

That mouth of yours is absolutely deadly!

The others, not understanding what was going on, thought that Butler Si had been so frightened that he had lost his mind.

Jiang Yinghua's voice gradually weakened due to excessive blood loss. Fearing that Yu Jinzhao would listen to Si Qing and shoot her, she took deep breaths and pleaded for mercy, trying to appear calm.

"Yu...no, sister-in-law, please don't shoot! I'm sorry, I misspoke. Please don't hold it against me..."

Yu Jinzhao could never kill her, just because she spoke unpleasantly; he simply couldn't bring himself to do something so terrible.

Moreover, Jiang Yinghua is considered a member of the Si family, and killing her would cause him a lot of trouble.

Yu Jinzhao opened his mouth, but before he could say anything.

Si Qing glanced at her dismissively, then looked at the trembling Jiang Yinghua, and said in a condescending tone, "Your insincere forgiveness will only make her think you are easy to bully, and she will take advantage of you even more next time."

Yu Jinzhao's eyes widened in surprise. Had this guy taken a course in male virtue? How could he be so good at analyzing the psychology of a "green tea" girl?

Jiang Yinghua choked, her pale face gradually burning with pain, filled with shame, indignation, and above all, resentment and grievance.

"Brother Qing, I'm your sister! We're family! Why are you treating me like this?"

She didn't believe he was supporting the vain woman he had married.

What went wrong?

Si Qing frowned, and said sarcastically, "How come I didn't know I had a younger sister?"

As he spoke, he looked at Butler Si with a gloomy expression, "Butler, tell me, do I have a younger sister?"

Butler Si choked for a moment before answering cautiously, "Miss Jiang is a poor student jointly sponsored by Madam and Master. She is not registered in the Si family's ancestral home, so strictly speaking, she is not the eldest young master's sister."

Jiang Yinghua felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her whole body froze.

Si Qing's expression was so genuine that it didn't seem like he was acting; he truly didn't remember her.

She has been in the Si family for more than ten years, met him many times, and greeted him countless times, so why is her presence so low?

No, not possible.

She forced a smile and said, "Brother Qing, are you kidding me?"

My aunt and uncle started supporting me when they first got together. My existence is a testament to their love. Although I wasn't officially registered in the Si family ancestral register, I am still a member of the Si family!

A chill flashed in Si Qing's eyes, making his hard face appear even more angular. "Their love... just hearing about it makes me sick."

Yu Jinzhao noticed the way he looked at Jiang Yinghua, as if he were looking at a pile of garbage.

I don't know if I'm saying Jiang Yinghua is disgusting, or her parents are disgusting.

Jiang Yinghua looked at his mocking eyes as if she had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world. His eyes were filled with cold cruelty, which made her feel cold all over.

At that moment, she suddenly felt that Si Qing seemed to hate her.

But why?

Suddenly, Si Qing released Yu Jinzhao's hand, took the gun from her, and a fierce, bloodthirsty glint appeared in his eyes, as if he intended to personally end Jiang Yinghua's life.

Without a second thought, Yu Jinzhao turned and left.

"Stop!" Si Qing shouted sharply, his tone irritable.

"Did I let you go?"

She turned around helplessly and said frankly, "It's your business if you want to kill her, but I don't like to see bloody scenes."

This was the first time she had told him she didn't like him since they met again.

He gazed into her clear eyes and wondered, "Will she be afraid?"

In an instant, the crimson fury in his eyes gradually faded, turning into a cooler moonlight, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground.

"Get out of here immediately." Si Qingyu said calmly to Jiang Yinghua, his disgust undiminished.

"This is the only time. If you dare touch my things again, you will die a horrible death."

Yu Jinzhao breathed a sigh of relief; this guy had finally stopped going crazy.

Now, Jiang Yinghua no longer naively believes that the lychee was planted for her by Si Qing. It was all her own wishful thinking, and she even thought that he wanted to kill her because she touched one of his lychees.

He never intended to acknowledge her as his sister, but she...

A bitter feeling welled up inside her. Weak, she asked the bodyguard to help her up. As she stood, she spoke softly.

“I misunderstood, but I didn’t mean to offend you, sister-in-law. Uncle Si knows you don’t like Miss Yu, but you’ve received a favor from the Yu family and can’t refuse, so he asked me to come and help you persuade your sister-in-law to back down…”

Otherwise, she wouldn't have said those unreasonable and mindless things...

Before he could finish speaking, Si Qing strode up to Yu Jinzhao, grabbed her arm, and before she could react, forcefully shoved her against the lychee tree.

Yu Jinzhao steadied himself and looked up in surprise, "What's wrong?"

The man stared at her intently, his eyes deep and intense. He reached out and grasped the back of her neck, forcing her to tilt her head back and speak slowly and softly.

“My father thinks I don’t like you, and I have to prove him wrong.”

Yu Jinzhao wanted to say, isn't this the truth? What's there to prove?

He leaned in close and, just as she opened her mouth, kissed her lips deeply.
