Ling Shuo looked down at Jiujiu, who was curled up into a small ball on the bed, and said, "Do you want to be thrown out?"
As soon as Ling Shuo finished speaking, Jiujiu opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear, and there was no sign of sleepiness. Obviously, Jiujiu was pretending to be asleep.
Jiujiu sat up on the bed, hugged the blanket, and looked warily at Ling Shuo, who was standing opposite her.
Compared to a playboy like Bai Yannan, Ling Shuo was simply indescribably outstanding.
After graduating from military school and returning to China, he participated in several battles, big and small, and won every battle. Step by step, he took over the military power in his father's hands. He used to be a small leader, but now he had the final say.
What was even rarer was that Ling Shuo was extremely clean. When it came to Ling Shuo, other than the war and military news, there were no scandals. Most importantly, Ling Shuo was extremely handsome.
If Ling Shuo wanted, the women in Nancheng would not even look at Bai Yannan. Compared to Ling Shuo, Bai Yannan was just a lackey.
Bai Yannan's reputation was built from wine, women, and wealth, while Ling Shuo's reputation was built from the strength and sharpness that came from his bones.
Ling Shuo had participated in dozens of battles, big and small, and had killed dozens of people on his hands. He had a murderous aura and a faint smell of blood, which made people tremble in fear.
Being stared at by Ling Shuo's sharp eagle eyes was like being stared at by a cheetah, and it made people shiver.
Jiujiu wrapped the blanket around her body to keep warm, and stared back at Ling Shuo.
Ling Shuo thought that a delicate young lady like Jiujiu would be scared to tears by his stare. However, he did not expect that not only did Jiujiu not cry, but she even looked back at him, which really surprised him.
"Is this the rule of your Bai Residence?" Ling Shuo's voice carried a heavy pressure.
Jiujiu's face turned pale under Ling Shuo's pressure, but she gritted her teeth and said, "I was waiting for you, but you didn't come. People who don't follow the rules don't have the right to criticize others for not following the rules."
Jiujiu's quick retort surprised Ling Shuo even more.
According to his information, Bai Jiujiu was a traditional lady from a wealthy family. How did she become a sharp-tongued, hedgehog-like little girl in front of him?
Ling Shuo frowned slightly and stared fixedly at Jiujiu. After a moment, he asked, "Who are you?"
He suspected that the person lying on his bed was not Jiujiu from the Bai Family, but another woman.
Otherwise, how could that well-mannered lady from a wealthy family turn into such a sharp-tongued person?
Jiujiu, whose identity was under suspicion, looked at Ling Shuo like he was an idiot. She pursed her lips and said, "I'm Jiujiu Bai. You married me yourself. Don't you know that?"
Ling Shuo was speechless.
Ling Shuo looked at the fearless Jiujiu and said, "You're very different from the rumors."
To be precise, there was no similarity at all.
The rumors said that Jiujiu Bai was well-mannered and well-mannered, but the Jiujiu Bai in front of him was sharp-tongued.
Jiujiu pursed her lips. How could she be similar to Jiujiu Bai?
Jiujiu Bai married Ling Shuo and was humiliated by Ling Shuo. She was also bullied by Ling Shuo's entire family. In the end, she became the first person to be killed when the relationship between the two families was broken. She was well-mannered and respectful to her parents. She was especially loyal to her husband. In the end, she was kicked aside and died with a grievance.
The most ridiculous thing was that Jiujiu Bai was still a young lady when she was kicked out by the Ling Family.
She had been married to Ling Shuo for three to four years, but Ling Shuo would rather hold himself back than touch her. How humiliating was that?
If she had been like Jiujiu Bai, she would have waited for a night and then been humiliated the next day. She was not a fool. She would not give up her good life just to be like Jiujiu Bai.
Jiujiu pursed her lips in disdain. "You're not like the rumors either."
She thought that Ling Shuo would wait until the next day to tell her that the two families were working together and that she should not dream of becoming his wife. In the end, Ling Shuo did not even wait for a night and directly came to question her. How disappointing.
Ling Shuo was speechless.
Ling Shuo looked deeply at Jiujiu Bai before he started unbuttoning his shirt.
Since he was back, he could not leave again. Otherwise, he would lose face.
However, he was unwilling to touch Jiujiu. If he touched Jiujiu, it would mean that he had accepted the Bai Family's proposal to exchange his marriage with Jiujiu Bai for Bai Yannan's marriage with Fang Xiuzhu.
Although Ling Shuo did not think highly of the marriage, the Bai Family's proposal was too humiliating for him.
Ling Shuo, who had the intention of taking over the Bai Family, could not swallow this humiliation and let the Bai Family get what they wanted.
Jiujiu Bai Yannan thought that Ling Shuo would be so angry that he would leave in a huff. However, she did not expect to see Ling Shuo taking off his clothes.
Jiujiu Bai Yannan wrapped the blanket even tighter around herself. She looked at Ling Shuo warily and asked, "What are you trying to do?"
Ling Shuo glanced at Jiujiu Bai Yannan indifferently and sneered. "I'm not interested in you."
After Ling Shuo said that, he took off his clothes and lay down on the bed. Then, he pulled the other blanket aside and closed his eyes.
Jiujiu Bai Yannan was speechless.
Jiujiu Bai Yannan heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that Ling Shuo had no intention of doing anything to her. Then, she hugged the blanket and lay back down.
However, she had slept on the big bed by herself earlier. Now that Ling Shuo had taken up half of the bed, her available space was inevitably much smaller. Jiujiu Bai Yannan, who could have slept in all sorts of places, could only sleep in a small corner. She felt extremely aggrieved.
Jiujiu Bai Yannan was already sleepy. After lying down for a short while, she fell into a deep sleep.
Ling Shuo heard the sound of even breathing beside his ear. He turned his head slightly and looked at Jiujiu Bai Yannan's delicate and obedient face. A myriad of thoughts ran through his mind.
He originally thought that marrying Jiujiu was just a temporary measure to stabilize the hearts of the Bai family. But now, it seemed that marrying Jiujiu was not a bad thing. At least, Bai Jiujiu was much more interesting than he had imagined.
He could hear Jiujiu's even breathing, and his nose was filled with Jiujiu's fresh, girlish scent. Unknowingly, Ling Shuo also fell asleep.
They thought that Ling Shuo went in to teach Jiujiu a lesson, but they waited outside for a whole night, but heard nothing.
The subordinate's heart was also on the verge of collapse.
Could it be that the wise and mighty master was seduced by that woman's beauty?
Impossible. So many beautiful women stood naked in front of the master, but the master turned a blind eye to them. How could it be possible that he would like that little girl from the Bai Family who was still wet behind the ears?
The subordinate's heart was filled with all sorts of thoughts, but Ling Shuo did not come out.
When Jiujiu Bai Yannan woke up, the first thing she felt was a little hot. When she came back to her senses, she realized that she seemed to be in someone's embrace.
Opening her eyes, Jiujiu Bai Yannan found herself in Ling Shuo's embrace like a bear. Her cheek was pressed against Ling Shuo's chest.
