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

The cool temperature of his fingertips was exactly the same as that night three years ago.

He bit her hard back then, and traced her collarbone in the same way, admiring the mark he left. His terrifying appearance was a nightmare she never wanted to recall again.

The scene was being reenacted, which amplified her psychological trauma. Even his handsome face now appeared as a demon in her eyes.

The fear and tension from that time overlapped at this moment, and were even greater.

Yu Jinzhao's legs went weak and she shoved him away. Her face turned from rosy to pale as snow, like a begonia flower whose color had been blown away by the wind in the wilderness.

He merely smoothed out the wrinkles on his chest indifferently, his dark eyebrows and eyes languidly scoffing, revealing his wild and roguish air that showed he didn't care about anyone.

A flash of annoyance crossed her face, her eyes remained defiant, and her voice was both gentle and soothing.

"I forgot. You regained your memory that night. You are the esteemed eldest young master of the Si family. How could you be friends with an ordinary young lady like me?"

Si Qing's pupils contracted slightly. His deep, dark eyes concealed a sleeping beast that had remained unchallenged for years, a beast he had almost forgotten, yet she had drawn out its sharp claws.

Even though he no longer liked her, she kept bringing up the past and reminding him of that unforgettable incident that almost took his life, and he was still easily moved.

But what makes her think that after they had broken through that barrier, he could still treat her as a friend?

The man's eyes flashed with suppressed malice. He knew that if this topic continued, he might lose control and do something irreversible. He tugged at his collar to catch his breath and casually shifted the focus.

"You used to tell me everything, and you would say whatever it was directly, but now you're beating around the bush, testing me both openly and subtly..."

He paused for a moment, then looked directly at her.

That glance, suppressing emotions she couldn't understand, was like the stillness after a storm, unsettling and mysterious, as the voice spoke in a deep, resonant tone.

"Since everything has changed, let's not try to go back to the way things were before."

Yu Jinzhao's lips tightened slightly, and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

Does this guy really know her that well?!

They actually knew she was trying to get information out of her!

In an instant, she felt as if she had been caught red-handed, and all her confidence vanished.

Forget it, she couldn't hide anything from him anyway, so she might as well be honest and ask directly.

Before she could even speak, Si Qing interrupted her, "Go pick some lychees for me."

Yu Jinzhao's lips parted slightly, her eyes widening in astonishment. Did this topic have to be taken so far off track?

The man's dark eyes swept over her beautiful, watery eyes with a half-smile, her slightly dazed gaze somewhat endearing.

His back relaxed slightly, and a rare warmth appeared in his usually calm and indifferent eyes.

"Since you're so curious about my lychee orchard, as husband and wife, I'll give you the chance to pick some yourself and take a closer look."

Yu Jinzhao, “???”

Are you even human? Or are you a dog?!

She was taken aback by his words and momentarily lost control of her expression, looking at him with considerable disbelief.

His thin lips curled slightly, his eyebrows and eyes were relaxed and lazy, and his expression was half-joking and half-serious, with a roguish and frivolous air that made him incredibly irritating.

She was almost certain that he had figured out she had come to the lychee orchard to secretly pick his lychees, which was why he had deliberately let her pick them and made fun of her!

Damn, how could she marry such a stingy and scheming man?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Si Qing raised an eyebrow, his expression inscrutable, his thin lips slightly parted.

"Could it be that Mrs. Si's statement about wanting to see the lychee orchard wasn't entirely sincere?"

A gentle breeze carried his deep voice, making it sound crisp and clear, like the colorful leaves falling from the treetops. It carried a hint of languor amidst his asceticism, and the low tone at the end of his voice was both dangerous and alluring.

Damn it, I didn't get anything out of him, and he even caught me talking about something else.

Yu Jinzhao gritted her teeth in frustration, really wanting to turn around and leave. This old lady doesn't want to serve you anymore!

But considering I've already endured this long, I'm determined not to give up until I get the answer out of him today.

"I'll go pick some for you right now!" She rolled up her sleeves, grinding her teeth as she squeezed out each word, then turned and walked toward the lychee tree.

Upon seeing this, the gardener, who was watering the trees, hurriedly said, "Madam, the lychee tree is too tall. We need a ladder to climb it and pick the fruit. You are too delicate to do such a thing. We should..."

Si Qing's deep gaze followed the woman's slender, graceful back. He pressed his tongue against one cheek and said, "Everyone, step back and let her pick it."

The gardeners looked at each other, not daring to disobey Si Qing, and silently stepped aside. However, they were all a little surprised. Seeing how protective Master Si was of his wife, why would he let her climb a tree? Wasn't he afraid that she would break her leg?

Thinking this, she couldn't help but look nervously at Yu Jinzhao.

The next second, they only saw a blur before their eyes, and then they saw the lady, with superhuman speed and climbing power, suddenly climb up the tree.

In an instant, everyone gasped, as if witnessing a massive atavism, their thoughts drifting in a daze…

Are their wives born in the Year of the Monkey?
