"See? I told you Qing Qing wasn't ready. Brother-in-law, you should drop this matter for now." Aunt Hong immediately jumped at the opportunity to stop the two's marriage. If she could, she would've snatched the certificates out of Li Chen's hands and ripped them to shreds!
"Yes, Brother-in-law. Qing Qing isn't ready. Let her fully recover first." Aunt Si nervously added.
She didn't have any other way to live an enviable life. Getting Li Qing Yue tied to her Mu'er and consuming all her wealth was her life-long goal.
"Qing Qing, don't worry. You won't have to marry if you're not ready. Brother-in-law won't force you." Even more desperate than the other two as she only had a daughter, Aunt Mei even explicitly implied that Li Chen was forcing Qing Yue into marrying.
"Qing Qing, just recover well. You can get married whenever you want to. After all, you are Li Qing Yue. With your status and wealth, do you need to be afraid of not getting married?"
When
"Sigh. Finally peace. Brother Li, I admire you for having the patience to tolerate these women." Long Hongwu tiredly pulled on his tie.He was a man of steel and action. Word games and schemes weren't his forte. Just from the brief clash of words, he felt as drained as if he'd exchanged blows with a formidable opponent."Brother Long, they are my brothers' wives. I have no choice but to tolerate them." Li Chen smiled awkwardly, a little embarrassed at the mention of the earlier farce."Let's not mention them anymore. Brother Li, from now on, we're in-laws, haha! I want to share this news with Madam. She'll need to prepare to welcome her new daughter-in-law." With another loud chuckle, Great Commander Long left the room.Li Chen looked at the newly married couple and felt gratified.He was satisfied with Long Tian as his son-in-law. The young man and his daughter had been engaged from childhood. The fact that he was the one to bring Qing Yue to the
"Are you planning to back out? Do you not have any confidence?" Qing Yue was afraid her husband would have a change of heart and purposely goaded him."Are you intentionally provoking me?" Long Tian narrowed his eyes."What if I am? What if I'm not? Are you going to back out?" She fearlessly held his dark gaze and challenged.Long Tian felt surprised.She easily admitted that she was provoking him? Did this mean she wasn't afraid of him?"Hpmh! The Longs don't back down from a challenge. Since I dared to make a bet, I dare to see it to the end." Besides, it wasn't like she had any chance of winning.Fully confident in her defeat, Long Tian crossed his arms and smirked."Heh...you said it. You can't go back on your words."Qing Yue was suddenly filled with an intense urge to recover quicker. She desperately wanted to slap the smug smile off her husband's face with her powerful voice.In such a tranquil manner, a month wen
Long Tian turned to his wife with an incredulous expression on his face.Astonished, he asked in a low whisper. "You've never been in a relationship before?"In this time period, it was nothing sort of a miracle for a woman to have never been in a relationship.Qing Yue blushed and lowered her head. She didn't expect to be placed on the judging panel the moment she took a step out of the hospital.But feeling her husband's burning gaze, she hummed and hawed before replying in a thin whisper."I...didn't feel comfortable getting into a relationship before marriage. After all, no matter how amorous or wondrous they may be, relationships that are not bound in the sacred vows of marriage are nothing more than frivolous affairs. And I don't do love affairs."Long Tian blinked, then a wide smile stretched across his lips.She didn't do affairs.At the thought, his heart softened and he felt a sense of peace and contentment settle ove
The Long Mansion in Li Industrial City was decorated from top to bottom in a gorgeous arrangement of red, gold, and blue flowers to welcome the newly married couple.Flares of light swept around the over a hundred thousand acre perimeter as black-armored guards robotically patrolled the grounds.Outside the electric-enhanced steel gates, a huge crowd of fans, nearby residents, and curious civilians loitered around, anxiously pushing and shoving as they waited for the appearance of the anticipated couple.At this moment, in front of the crowd stood a glamorous young woman in a red dress and black heels. Her wavy brown hair fell over her chest, highlighting her amorous figure as she swept her haughty gaze over the steel gates."I can't believe Brother Long is marrying a cripple. If he didn't have any preference, he could've told me. I would've at least found a woman that can stand beside him.""Ru Wan, I understand you think Long Tian deserves someon
He was worried that the angry shouts had upset her.Qing Yue blinked, not understanding his meaning.So Long Tian gently stroked her hair and patiently explained."What they said, don't take their words to heart. Those who are judging you are a hundred times uglier.""They are? How do you know?" Qing Yue amusedly asked."Of course, I know. If they weren't ugly, then why would they use such ugly words. Yue'er, you must remember. If you don't have a good appearance, as long as you have a good heart, you can still live a good life. But if you have an ugly heart, no matter how beautiful your appearance is, no one would want you." He seriously said.So...he was worried about her.Looking at the concerned Long Tian, Qing Yue suddenly felt that it wasn't so bad being married.As expected, her Dad knew best!"Hmm...but others still prefer to look at beautiful people..." She pouted."Those people are blind and just as ugly
The four women froze.They hadn't expected the cripple to fight back, hence the reason for their surprise.Heh...planning on stomping me down before I even entered the door?Why? So that you can stomp on me for the rest of my life?Not happening!Qing Yue had seen girls like the ones standing before her in her previous life. The more you back down, the fiercer they would come at you.Since she wouldn't be getting off the hook by being tolerant and docile, then why should she keep her silence? Why should she allow them to see her as easy prey?She was Young Madam Long, the legal wife of Long Tian.If anything, they should be the ones being docile and tolerant."Husband, Yue'er is tired of sitting on this chair. Hug!" She looked up and cutely raised her arms towards her husband.The scornful expressions on their faces vanished, replaced with shock and disbelief.They were shocked that with her hideous appeara
Yi Qin felt stifled.What the heck was wrong with Long Tian? Did he not feel any disgust calling such an ugly mummy his wife?Even if his father had forced him to marry the girl, he shouldn't be so serious about her, right?"Tian Tian, as your mother, I only want the best for you. What's wrong with me wanting my son to marry a beautiful and presentable woman? Is it wrong for me to feel dissatisfied with the choice you and your father forced on me? You knew...you knew how much I was looking forward to my only son's marriage. You knew how extravagantly I wanted to marry your bride in. But in the end, what did I get? A simple marriage certificate that was signed without my presence!"The more she spoke, the more wronged Yi Qin felt. In the end, she couldn't control her emotions and broke down into tears.Long Yuwen anxiously hurried to her mother's side and held her shoulders, her own eyes filling with tears as she thought of her own shattered dream.
Long Tian carried his wife up the stairs and turned left. Qing Yue curiously took in her surroundings. As wide and spacious as the Li Mansion, the Long Mansion radiated an aura of majesty and nobility. The second floor of the mansion was clear of security guards. However, there were metal detectors embedded in the glass corners and ceilings. On this side of the Long Mansion was a three-person silver sitting table leaning against the glass wall and a metal door which probably led to a room. Long Tian walked to the metal door and a red flare light lit up and scanned his facial features. "Face recognition clear!" The red flare vanished with the clearance of the robotic voice, and an eye scanner popped out. It slid forward and fixed on Long Tian's pupils, another red flare swept down and scanned his irises. "Eye scan clear. Welcome back, Young Master Long." With an audible click, the door slid apart. "Yue'er this is my room. From t
Early the next morning, Qing Yue stood before the bathroom mirror with a shocked expression on her face. "Li Feng, am I dreaming? How is this possible?" Aside from the first day, she hadn't looked at herself in the mirror after her accident. But this was beyond astonishing, alright? It hasn't even been a full month before her discharge! "Congratulations, Saintess. You've recovered your original appearance." Li Feng's voice was filled with amusement which caused Qing Yue to return to her senses. "Haha! A week! It only took me a week to recover my original appearance!" The entire situation felt surreal to her. Even after scanning her face and the scarred part of her body in the mirror for two whole hours, Qing Yue was not able to believe her eyes. "Li Feng, how is this possible? My body was burned and wrinkled, my face horrendous! So hideous that even ten plastic surgeries wouldn't have helped me. So how...?" If the doctors who told her she'd be disfigured for life saw her at this mo
Long Tian's dark gaze alarmed Qing Yue. She stiffly smiled and tried to ignore the heat from her lips. But the close proximity to her husband made the task difficult.What's more, with their foreheads pressed together and their noses rubbing against each other, the two of them were practically sharing breath!"Brother...Tian...I'm done. I...I'm sleepy." Not really! But at this point, Qing Yue would say anything to escape Long Tian's predatory gaze."You're sleepy?" Long Tian skeptically asked."Yes. I...I'm really sleepy. The nap earlier wasn't enough.""Hmm...I'll help you to bed, then." Though he was disappointed, Long Tian tried not to show it. He understood his wife was alarmed by his sudden advances.But thinking of the fact that they were husband and wife, his heart relaxed and he relented with a gentle smile.They had all their life to know each other and develop their relationship. Long Tian was confident that with time, his Yue'er would come so close to him that no excuses wo
"Brother Tian...""Shhh...Yue'er, didn't you say I'll have to carry you in my arms or sat you on my lap before? Today, Brother Tian will sit you on his lap.""Huh?" What the he**! Where did that come from!?Qing Yue felt her head spin. Everything became too confusing and overwhelming."Why? You don't want to?" Long Tian paused and peered down at her. Though his face remained cold and neutral, since she was pressed against his chest, Qing Yue felt him tense up.This made her feel at a loss on what to say. The idea of sitting...on his lap was too abrupt and sudden. But Qing Yue didn't want to hurt her husband.She knew he wouldn't hurt or harm her. And after what happened earlier, was there a need for her to feel embarrassed?"Brother Tian, it's not that. I'm just a little shy." She admitted it."Yue'er, don't be shy. We're husband and wife."The tense muscles in Long Tian's body relaxed and a smile stretched across his face. He thought she didn't like his sudden intimacy. But her words
Long Tian felt hot and overwhelmed.The sudden surge of intense emotions sent silent tremors coursing through his body. He inadvertently groaned against his wife's delicate lips, the deep throaty sound causing Qing Yue to shiver.Sensing her reaction, his tongue slithered out and traced her lush lips, before insistently pushing on them.Qing Yue hesitated for a second. Her mind was muddled with the pleasure of his kiss, but she could perceive his intention through his action. He wanted her to open her lips.But she could also sense he was giving her the choice to refuse by not putting much force on his relentless tongue.This silent display of respect touched her. As a husband, Long Tian took care of her without complaint. He protected her and treated her with kindness and respect.He even took action to fulfill the dream she thought would forever be buried in her heart.Besides, she still had bandages covering her face, and yet, he didn't despise her or feel disgusted with her.Such
"This...Tian Tian, I understand how you must feel, but...you can't allow your feelings to control you. Why don..." "Uncle Yi Ming, set up the re-examination. I believe in Yue'er." Long Tian's cold voice and frosty eyes immediately silenced Yi Ming. "Call me when the re-examination date is fixed." Yi Ming nodded, still too stunned to speak. He watched in a daze as his nephew got up and pushed his wife out of the office. Bang! "Da**! Long Tian, you're truly out of your mind!" Returning to his senses, Yi Ming roared and pushed to his feet. However, his agitated cry only resounded in the silent room. The two individuals had left long ago. "Da**! This rotten nephew! He's bent on shaming me before the entire board of education directors. Let his wife retake the exam in front of them? Have them apologize to her? Is he blinded by the girl's charms?" Yi Ming was certain his nephew had lost his mind. There was no other reasonable explanation for his outrageous and overbearing request. It
Long Tian and Qing Yue's hovership landed in the same private open-air parking as their last visit. As Qing Yue was too nervous and worried about her exam results, she wasn't able to enjoy the scenery like the last time. Seeing her worried expression, Long Tian's dissatisfaction with his uncle increased. Uncle Yi Ming, you had better have a good reason for calling us in. His wife's tense appearance stoked an unnamable fire in Long Tian's heart. As they neared the administration building, he unconsciously released a frosty air that made the staff scatter away and maintain a distance from them. "Tian Tian, Qing Qing, you're here! Qing Qing, you don't mind if I call you Qing Qing, right?" Long Tian's face immediately darkened when he saw his unreliable Uncle. He couldn't help but wonder if the loose screws of his mind were that bad. "Aren't you already calling her Qing Qing?" He coldly asked. "Hahaha! I am, but I didn't ask before doing so. That's why I'm asking now." "Are my res
"Yue'er, Yue'er!""Huh? Ah! Brother Tian..." Qing Yue snapped back to attention. Li Feng's words, she'd forgotten about Long Tian."Sorry, Brother Tian. What were you saying?"Long Tian frowned and turned to look at her. "Are you okay? If you're feeling unwell, tell me.""Brother Tian, I'm capable enough to treat myself if I don't feel well. Will you stop worrying?" Qing Yue scowled. Her husband's nagging didn't stop even after his reaffirmation of her ability."Yue'er, don't get mad. I...It's because I care that I worry...hmm?" Long Tian knew his wife didn't like his excessive attention.But what could he do? After her fall, he never felt at ease. In fact, he had a feeling that he'd never stop worrying even if he wanted to until she fully recovered.He hurriedly reverted the topic back to his question. "So, can poisons be used to cure a virus?"Qing Yue scanned her husband's anxious expression and didn't call him out in his at
In the next few days, Qing Yue completely focused on her treatment.Now that she was going to enroll in a university, she was energetic and more motivated to recover. After all, how could a doctor that couldn't even treat herself, treat others?And now that her husband knew about her secret treatment sessions, she didn't need to be as secret as before.From 5-6 in the morning, her treatment length extended to from 3-6.This meant she spent three hours a day undergoing grilling treatment sessions that left her weak and powerless.Thankfully, her husband was by her side during all her sessions.When Long Tian first witnessed his wife's skills, he was flabbergasted. Then thinking she was still too young to possess such knowledge and godly techniques, he went on his WebCom and searched through the online links.Anything that had even the slightest mention of poison treatment, moxibustion, and acupuncture was read by him.Most of th
Couldn't he see the woman was still pinning for him? But as if blind to the affection of the other, Long Tian stretched out his hand and tenderly wiped his wife's lips. The action stunned both Lu Jin and Qing Yue. Even when they were together and the man spoiled her, Lu Jin had never seen such a tender look on his face. What's more, he even touched the ugly cripple's lips! Lu Jin felt suffocated. Her heart burned with the flames of jealousy and hatred as she resentfully glared at Qing Yue like she wanted to drink the other's blood and gnaw on her flesh. On the other hand, Qing Yue fiercely trembled when she sensed the other's vicious glare. Da** it! Why are you glaring at me!? If you have something to say, say it to the man you're chasing! Her husband's action surprised her as well. Right before his ex, he touched her lips. If Qing Yue didn't know him better, she would've really thought he did it to make his ex-girlfriend jealo
