Prologue:

The Purple Star Immortal sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, trying her
best ; however, no matter how hard she tried, his masculine heat and scent still
ensnared her like a demon, filling her senses and nostrils with his unique aroma, not only disturbing her
thoughts but also stirring ripples in her heart.

Since the last time Laozi visited her and spoke at length about destiny, he
sent the five girls she cared for, along with the five boys of mixed good and evil under this man's care, to the mortal realm, saying it was
to allow and resolve human calamities. But this also began her calamity, because this man
had since followed her like a shadow, never letting her have a moment's respite.

Now she was filled with regret; had she been bewitched? She had actually agreed to that white-haired
old man's offer to monitor the children's reincarnations with this man, hoping to
help them when necessary. Now

, she found herself bound to him day and night. But now she understood how incredibly cunning the Supreme Lord Laozi was. Even without being with Xuan Yuan Tianmo
, she could monitor their actions and offer assistance herself; why let a menacing man
follow her, making her feel so uncomfortable?

She wasn't oblivious; she knew perfectly well that Xuan Yuan Tianmo's demonic black eyes
held a growing, increasingly intense longing and desire, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
His burning gaze almost scorched her, leaving her bewildered, but she could only maintain a calm demeanor and
desperately conceal the slight unease stirring within her.

Xuan Yuan Tianmo pressed close to her, inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from her. His affection for her
deepened due to this rare intimacy. However, he was deeply dissatisfied with her deliberate aloofness
, which both angered and frustrated him.

The more she tried to keep her distance, the more he wanted to be inseparable from her, clinging to her relentlessly, forcefully
invading her life, invading her territory, and occupying her heart. He wanted her to be surrounded by his
image in an attempt to possess her.

Ziwei could no longer tolerate his deliberate closeness. She opened her eyes and said in a low, displeased voice,
"Could you please move away from me?" Ha! After days of silence, she finally voiced her protest, which
was exactly what he had hoped for. He would rather she resist him and engage in a verbal battle than remain silent.
A glint of malice flashed in his eyes, and one arm forcefully encircled her slender waist, pulling her closer to
his chest.

"No!" Xuan Yuan Tianmo not only refused but held her even tighter, his lips
slowly sliding and sucking on her soft earlobe.

His audacity angered Ziwei, who reached out to teach him a lesson, but he had already anticipated her
intentions and stopped her.

"You demon, let me go." "But I don't want to let go, and I can't bear to."
He wasn't a fool to let such a rare opportunity to be intimate with her slip away.

Ziwei knew she was no match for him, and although she was initially angry, seeing his outrageous
behavior , she decided she had to make him leave. "Get out of here right now and never show your face again."
Unfortunately , her ultimatum had no effect on him whatsoever, because she was already in his arms; how could he possibly let her go
? Even if it meant being unreasonable, he was determined to cling to her!

"No!" His rejection, his shamelessness, left Ziwei stunned and furious. She hated the feeling he
gave her, hated how he made her, who had always been pure and abstinent, no longer like herself; she was terrified of this
change, so her instinctive reaction was resistance.

"No matter what you do, I can't accept you, and I will never be moved. Just give up! I
've decided not to monitor them with you anymore. I believe I can take care of the girls on my own." Her words stung
Xuan Yuan Tianmo's heart like needles, but he
chose , her heartless words had no effect on his obsession with her. "Unfortunately, from
the moment you saved me a thousand years ago, our lives were destined to be entangled. Even if you want to escape now, it's too late."
"You're so self-righteous! If you don't let go of me, I'll be very
ruthless a resolute determination to fight him to the death.

"Do you think I'll let you off so easily after hiding from me for a hundred years?" He completely
ignored her threat, insisting on getting what he wanted.

Ziwei could feel how firm his resolve was, and a strange flutter of emotion stirred within her.
While she was lost in her thoughts, his hand touched her body, causing a strange
unease to rise within her; this strange unease almost overwhelmed her, filling her with fear.

She didn't want him to affect her; it would make her lose herself. Besides, her pride couldn't be subdued by him.
She only wanted a peaceful and carefree life, without him to disturb it.

"No!" she cried out in panic, struggling to stop him from touching her again.
"You horrible demon! We immortals are sworn enemies, and I will never accept you. Get out
of here, or don't blame me for being ruthless!" She blurted out in a panic, determined to draw a line between them.

Unexpectedly, Xuan Yuan Tianmo's rugged, masculine face smiled, and
he abruptly covered her angry, red lips with his cold lips, silencing her in shock.

Such willful and capricious behavior was a reflection of his demonic nature. He completely disregarded her protests;
no one could stop him from doing what he wanted. Even this domineering kiss was no exception; she had no way to defend herself,
let alone control this man's unpredictable behavior and personality.

After all, in the past hundred years, he had never laid a hand on her; how could she have known he would now be
so brazen and unrestrained?

Her beautiful, resentful eyes glared at him, yet she was powerless to stop his lips from gently caressing her soft lips, a
tingling, numbing sensation spreading through her heart...

She couldn't!

Ziwei pushed against his chest with both hands, she had to fight back, she couldn't let this absurd
situation happen again. She opened her mouth to say something, but he cunningly slipped his tongue into
her mouth...

His wet, soft tongue darted into her mouth, terrifying her. Having never tasted desire before, she
could barely withstand his forceful intrusion. She tried to push his tongue away, but her pink tongue inadvertently
touched his, timidly trying to retreat but being skillfully sucked and curled up by him.

While she was annoyed by her clumsiness, he was enjoying the soft touch of her and the
sweet fragrance of her lips. He was obsessed and greedy, wanting more. He placed his large hand on the back of her head, pulling her face closer to
his, tightly embracing her soft, light body.

He was a demon! From the moment he saw her, his only thought was to possess her. In his
world, only plunder existed. Whatever he fancied or wanted, he would take without a second thought,
completely disregarding the wishes of others.

In his mind, only he mattered; as long as he was satisfied, the wishes and
thoughts were utterly unimportant. But he couldn't understand why this approach no longer worked when he met her.

Her wishes, her emotions, everything about her—all were extremely important to him. That's why
he was willing to wait so painstakingly for her for a hundred years, hoping only to one day approach her and possess her.

Now that someone he could exploit had come knocking on his door, how could he not take advantage of it? The agreement he made with that
old man offered him benefits, so he was naturally happy to cooperate. Moreover, in
this agreement, the old man had gone to great lengths to gain his trust; he had offered substantial
benefits in exchange, which was why he was willing to let those five boys descend to the mortal realm.

He didn't care about the rules, tribulations, or predestined relationships of the celestial realm. He would cooperate with them only
to get what he wanted, nothing else mattered. What did those so-called destinies and salvation
have to do with him, a demon? Let those self-proclaimed celestial beings with their supposed ethereal and compassionate hearts do that!

The soft, fragrant body in his arms was what interested him, what mattered to him. Everyone else was beneath his notice. As her
body temperature rose and her breathing quickened, he gently breathed on her sensitive earlobe.

Then, he cupped her buttocks with his hands, forcing her tightly against him, completely ignoring her
struggles.

This passionate, unfamiliar tide of desire washed over her, leaving her almost
powerless to resist. She knew everything was completely out of control. Her once calm and undisturbed
heart was now involuntarily stirred by his caresses and teasing.

Such wanton and shameless behavior could never have existed in her life or imagination, but now,
through him, it was a reality, causing her immense shock. After all, she was a celestial being incarnated
, and her inherent sense of morality inevitably surfaced at this awkward moment.

This subtle feeling made her feel as if she had done something shameful with him,
which not only severely humiliated her but also made her subconsciously want to retaliate.

A beam of red light struck Xuan Yuan Tianmo, who was pressed against her and trapped in desire. He
took the blow without warning; but it couldn't shake him in the slightest. His arms were still tightly wrapped around
her body, and his lips were still on hers. He simply opened his eyes slowly and looked directly at her.

Their faces were close, their eyes meeting at such close range. A hint of panic appeared in Ziwei's beautiful eyes, while
Xuan Yuan Tianmo's dark and deep eyes showed no emotion. She felt that this blow was
like , making her aware of his unfathomable demonic power.

She knew she had only used a fraction of her strength, merely to repel him from her. To her
surprise, he remained unmoved, causing her to panic. She had seriously underestimated him. It seemed that even if she fought him with all
her might , she would likely suffer a crushing defeat.

However, she had never intended to be his enemy, much less fight him to the death; she simply wanted him away from her.
She believed that with her cultivation level, a little more force would be enough to repel him.

She decided to give him another chance, because deep down she didn't want to hurt him.

"Let me go!" Her meaning was clear: if he didn't release her, she would
attack him again.

But he didn't want to let go, nor was he willing to. He didn't take her small attack seriously at all.

In fact, he had sensed her attack the moment she launched it, but he neither resisted nor retaliated,
because he understood perfectly well that he didn't want to fight her. Even a fraction of his strength
could potentially injure her, something he desperately wanted to avoid.

So he silently endured her attacks, transforming them into nothingness within his body. Her power
was nothing to him; his only response was a cold smile, followed by a
more forceful kiss on her lips.

A strange stalemate ensued, their eyes locked in a silent standoff.

She knew that inaction would be tantamount to telling him she had submitted and accepted his existence.
So, she gritted her teeth and attacked him again, this time with increased force and a higher-level
spell, determined to repel him!

However, the beam of light that pierced his body remained unchanged, causing her to pause for a moment,
then erupt in anger. Fine! Very well, it seems she was too kind, afraid of hurting him, which is why he didn't react
at all . Did her magic really become so ineffective after touching him?

She couldn't believe it. Even if his magic was powerful, it was impossible for him to be completely unaffected,
especially since she had increased the power of her attack. There was no reason he would be completely unharmed. She could tell he hadn't launched any defense against her
attack ; if he had, she should have been repelled.

But she was completely unharmed, meaning he had withstood all her attacks.
Why was he alright? Could his magic really be so profound as to be terrifying? Just thinking about this
possibility sent a chill down her spine.

No wonder even the immortals feared his existence; his power was simply too terrifying, almost unbelievable.
As she estimated, just as she was about to unleash her full power to repel him, she was stunned, her
beautiful eyes widening in shock. She noticed blood slowly trickling from the corner of his mouth, staining her lips as well…

The warm, slightly metallic taste shocked Ziwei. She realized that he had merely used his profound
skill to silently endure the harm she had inflicted, hiding the wounds within his body. However, the
second attack had caused him to bleed uncontrollably, indicating that his injuries must be severe.

She moved her lips away, her expression becoming extremely grave. “Why didn’t you dodge?” He looked at her quietly for
a while before answering her question: “I couldn’t let you get hurt.” A simple sentence conveyed his
deep protectiveness towards her, causing her body to tremble. She looked at him in surprise.

“You…” She was completely speechless. She hadn’t expected him to have such thoughts, and
a warmth and flutter ran through her heart. Should she be moved by his actions?

"Nobody asked you to do this! Don't think I'll be grateful." "I didn't ask you to think that way.
I'm just doing what I want to do, without considering what you think." The more he spoke, the more blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

If he had taken defensive measures when she hurt him, deflecting her force back, he would
n't have been injured; but the reason he wasn't doing that now was for her sake, this… Seeing more
blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, she couldn't think about anything else, reflexively taking out a silk handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

"I will never accept you because of this." Although she said this, her movements of wiping the blood
were gentle and careful.

Xuan Yuan Tianmo's arm on her slender waist tightened suddenly because of her movement, silently letting her
wipe his mouth, his dark eyes staring intently at her, his gaze so focused that nothing could distract him
.

Stared at like that by him, Ziwei's heart inexplicably stirred, as if it would leap out of her chest
, her cheeks burning red. How could she have such inexplicable feelings for him?

Everything was in chaos! She couldn't understand her feelings for him. She thought she could
face him calmly, but now…

the white silk handkerchief pressed against his lips was stained crimson with blood, so shocking that her eyes welled up with tears.

Although Xuan Yuan Tianmo was injured, his attention was entirely focused on her, so no emotional
fluctuation escaped his notice. A wicked smile appeared on his lips; he knew her heart had wavered for him, and
he believed that if he continued to try, she would eventually belong to him.

Damn it! He was clearly a plague god who brought disaster to people; anyone who encountered him deserved to be unlucky.
And now, the one who deserved to be unlucky had become him!

His eyes swept over the girl behind him, her face rosy and adorable, her
little face scrunched up from crying, making her look even more pitiful. Two lines of tears streamed down her face,
her little red lips pouting, and her short legs followed closely behind him.

Just seeing her small figure made his head throb. Ever since his master started coming
here to pursue the woman he wanted, he had been forced to come to this ethereal realm frequently. Originally, he could wander around this place
leisurely ; but after this little girl set her sights on him, he could no longer shake off
this little burden.

Every time he came, she clung to him like a puppy eyeing a bone, driving him
crazy. He didn't understand what had gotten into him that time when he walked up to this tearful
girl, mustering his meager kindness, and asked her what was wrong, why she was crying so sadly.

He was about to leave with just a casual question, not intending to know the answer, yet she
regarded him as a kind person who cared about her. From then on, she became a burden he could never shake off when he came here.

Crying at the drop of a hat had become her specialty; no matter how big or small the matter, it
could be the culprit that triggered her tears, and he, unfortunately, became her "support."

Like now, she was crying her eyes out because he had come here without her knowing, her
eyes filled with grievance as she stared at him as if he had committed some terrible crime.

Please! Every time he came, didn't she discover him immediately? Even if he deliberately tried to avoid her,
she still found him; although he didn't know how she did it, she still
found out every time. Wasn't she satisfied with this? What was she crying about? Did he have some obligation
to report ?

It was unbearable! He had no idea when the bad luck he was bringing upon others had transferred to him
, causing him this little trouble. The more he thought about it, the faster he quickened his pace, until he heard a loud
thud behind him, followed by a scream…

Then, a deafening wail reached his ears, and his face instantly turned ashen.
Damn it! Her crying was more terrifying than a demonic piercing sound, even birds and beasts scattered in fear; what was infuriating was that
he couldn't simply walk away like those animals.

His cheeks twitched involuntarily, and he didn't understand why he felt a slight pang of
heartache upon hearing her cries. This emotion, which he had never felt before and shouldn't have, irritated him greatly; the foot he wanted to take next
was stuck, hesitant amidst her sobs.

"Brother Wen, it hurts!" After falling, Fu Guixing could only cry out in pain to the person in front of her.
Her little pink face, which had been scrunched up from crying, now looked at him pitifully, hoping he would help her
up .

He really couldn't bear to leave her behind. He didn't understand what was wrong with him. Not wanting to dwell on this subtle
feeling, he turned around and looked at the little girl lying on the ground, her little pink face tilted up
, looking at him pitifully.

He unconsciously walked towards her, scolding her fiercely, "You're so clumsy! You even fall while walking.
And instead of getting up, why are you lying there? Do you think you look good like that?"
Although were full of reprimands, his actions inadvertently revealed a rare gentleness as he helped her up.
Strangely, this action made her smile, and his heart skipped a beat.

This crybaby's smile was quite charming. He just didn't know why she cried so much. She looked ugly when she cried.
He didn't like her dead at all; he still loved her smile, it made him feel so at ease.

"Alright, stop crying. If you keep crying, there'll be a flood here." "Okay." She
nodded , wiping away her tears, sniffing hard, and then flashing him a bright
smile. She tugged at his arm, resting her cheek against it, and said coquettishly, "I knew Brother Wen was such a
good person." Her praise made him roll his eyes, and he glared at her, snapping, "Don't say I'm good!"
But his fierce expression quickly turned her bright face into a frown, her mournful face almost bursting into
tears again.

Seeing this, he quickly stopped her, "Don't you dare cry!" His shout froze her
expression , leaving her staring at him with a pair of mournful and aggrieved eyes, driving him almost crazy.

"Don't always give me that look, like I'm bullying you." That innocent expression
made his scalp tingle and his mood sour.

He now realized that he had a terrible temper, and the culprit was her! It was all her fault
for making him so angry.

He blamed all his shortcomings and bad habits on her, refusing to admit that
it was actually caused by his inherent flaws.

Her little hands twisted pitifully against his clothes, her bright eyes cautiously scanning him
, before she said in a trembling voice, "You...you're so mean, you have a bad temper."
What? He stared wide-eyed in astonishment. This wretched girl, didn't she even consider who caused this, yet dared to blame
him? Fine, very well! He couldn't help but twist his lips, looking at her with a wicked glint in his eye. Then, when
she pointed at him, he suddenly opened his mouth and bit her hard, making her scream in pain and immediately burst into tears.

Seeing her like that, a sudden surge of malicious vengeful pleasure welled up inside him, making him feel incredibly good
. Oh dear, why did her crying sound so melodious after he had teased her?

Perhaps, having her with him, teasing her when he was bored, watching her cry her heart out—that would be quite
satisfying! Thinking this, he couldn't help but reveal a devilish smile.

"Alright, stop crying!" How could he talk to her after crying for so long?
How could he have only come up with this brilliant idea now? He thought, her earth-shattering crying must have numbed his
intelligence, which was why it took him so long to think of it. He maliciously shifted all the blame
onto the unsuspecting Fu Guixing.

Thinking about it, although she seemed a bit clumsy and prone to tears, his life was quite boring right now.
Plus, his master didn't know how long it would take to win over that woman, so this place would definitely be a frequent
haunt . He was just tired of wandering around here, and it seemed a shame not to find some amusement.

Heh heh! You're the one who wanted to cling to me and follow me, so don't blame me

for using you for my amusement. Unfortunately, his mischievous idea changed their fate,
entangled them for life.

He made her cry, and instead of comforting her, he told her not to cry—how could someone be so wicked
? Fu Guixing silently thought to herself, not understanding what he was thinking.

Although she was naive and liked following him, she could also keenly see the evil
glint , directed at her; he had never shown her that look before. So she instinctively took
a step back, almost tripping, but luckily an arm caught her in time, preventing her from falling again.

She looked up at him happily, smiling, knowing he had rescued her again. "Thank you." His
gesture made her completely forget what she had just sensed, and she simply smiled gratefully at him without any reservations.

However, he noticed her action and was about to put on a sour face, but her smile improved his
mood , so he decided to get straight to the point and suggested, "Let's make a deal."
"What kind of deal?" "If you want to follow me, you have to be a good girl and listen to me. Then I'll let you
follow me, and I'll come to see you every time I come, okay?" His suggestion made her eyes widen with delight.
"You mean, as long as I'm obedient, you'll let me stay by your side?" "That's right!" He nodded.
"However, if I find you're not being good, then I'll cancel this deal." Hearing him say that, her
rosy face immediately lit up with a smile. "Okay, then let's pinky swear." Seeing her extend her finger to
pinky swear with him, he couldn't help but frown, looking at this childish gesture with strong disapproval. Why would he
do something so pointless with a baby? Besides, it would be embarrassing for him
; how awful! He didn't want to!

But when he saw her expectant little face staring intently at him, for some reason, he
couldn't bring himself to do it. He could only tell himself that he was doing it reluctantly for future fun. But he never
imagined that his action was, unwittingly, an attempt to please her.

As their fingers intertwined, sealing their vow, a booming voice
rang out behind them. Before he could react, a beam of light struck his back, sending him
plummeting downwards. "Since you've willingly agreed to stay by each other's side,
I'll do you a favor and grant your wish!" Laozi was secretly pleased with his successful sneak attack
, sending the Plague God to the mortal realm for reincarnation, but also felt a pang of resentment. He
couldn't understand why he'd stooped to such petty tactics with these little devils.

But he quickly consoled himself: What can I do? He's dealing with devils; if I didn't use
this method, they wouldn't have obediently descended to the mortal realm. Unlike his Five Lucky Stars, who are so adorable!

Upon hearing the mention of the Five Lucky Stars, he immediately smiled and turned his gaze to the
Wealthy Star, who was weeping uncontrollably because the Plague God had fallen to earth. He approached her, bowed his head, and said, "Little one, stop crying."
She ignored him, instead crying even louder, and glared at him fiercely, blaming him for banishing her companion to
the mortal realm.

Laozi couldn't help but smile wryly. It seemed this child, having descended to earth, was destined to suffer in love because of the Plague God.

Alas! He truly felt a pang of pity, but fate was unchangeable. He could only say to her, "Stop glaring, I will..."
"I'll send you down to the mortal realm to keep him company!" Without waiting for her consent, he waved his hand and sent her down to the mortal world
; then he took out two clay dolls from his robes, tied them tightly with red thread, and went to find the next couple to descend to
the mortal realm.

Chapter One:

Zi Jun, with a heavy face, pushed open the office door and saw Ming Huang Yu frowning,
studying the investment case in front of him. He called out to him, "You don't need to look at it anymore." When his words came,
Ming Huang Yu's body stiffened slightly, then he looked up at his childhood friend and partner, "Are you
sure?" Zi Jun stood in front of him, threw a report on the table, and said very seriously:
"Hmm. All the stocks you invested in have plummeted to their daily limit. Not only that, but your investment cases are also in serious
trouble. Investors are withdrawing their money and demanding cash repayments. Banks are unwilling to
lend and are even demanding repayment of loans within a specified period. The land we invested in has also been seized by the court
." "So, how much money do we have left to tide us over?" "None. Not a single penny left. Not only
that, we're also heavily in debt. If we don't find a solution soon, I think we'll
have face angry creditors." "Damn it!" Ming Huangyu couldn't help but clench his fist and slam it on the table, his face
full of anger and resentment.

Since his existence, his father's business had never been successful, and his mother's health had deteriorated.
When he was twenty, his father suffered a stroke due to the shock of his business collapsing. His already
frail mother and young son had to shoulder the harsh reality of the aftermath of the collapse.

Despite this, he remained defiant, determined to carve out
his own niche in the fiercely competitive business world, to silence all dissent, to bring honor to the Ming family, and to ensure his family could
live a better life.

However, misfortune seemed to follow him relentlessly. From the age of twenty, he tried various investments
and jobs, all ending in utter failure, leaving him constantly impoverished and heavily indebted.

He refused to give up! He was incredibly defiant.

No matter how many times he failed, he would strive to get back up, but fate seemed to be working against him, not only causing him
utter ruin but also dragging his family down with him. Now, he had finally partnered with Zijun again to invest
in a business , only to fail again, this time with devastating losses.

He had mortgaged the only piece of land that provided shelter for their tin-roofed house to the bank
, taking out a loan to start the business, placing all his hopes on it. Now, facing such a huge
problem, he wasn't worried about himself; his mind was filled with thoughts of what would happen to his family.

Just as the tense atmosphere of being trapped in despair reached its peak, the door was flung open, and a lively and pretty girl
skipped in, rushing to the desk and exclaiming to Ming Huangyu, "Big brother, come quick
! There's a huge news article here, it's the headline!"

Ming Yuting didn't notice the expressions on their faces at all, completely absorbed in the big
news , wanting to share her amazement with her brother; it wasn't until she realized they hadn't responded that she looked up in confusion
and saw Zijun. Her eyes lit up, and she excitedly called out, "Big brother Zi, you're here too!"

Zijun, with... Looking at Ming Yuting with a doting smile, he nodded to her and said, "Look at you, you don't act like a
girl at all. You rushed over like a locomotive, of course you wouldn't see me!"

Ming Yuting just mischievously stuck out her tongue at Zijun's comment, then spread the newspaper on the table and
shouted to them, "Look, the Cui family is a well-known and wealthy family in society. I never
expected them to publicly advertise for a husband for their daughter. How interesting!

Is their only daughter so ugly that she can't get married?" Before she finished speaking, Zijun immediately said to her in a
very disapproving tone, "What's so interesting about this? Look at you making such a fuss." "

That's not true at all!" Ming Yuting retorted. "Brother Zi, I'm sure you know that the Cui family is
not only incredibly wealthy, but also extremely influential in both political and business circles. They've
held the top position in the business world for many years, and even the president treats them with great respect!"

"So what? It's their business if they're rich. Besides,
I know much more about the Cui family's wealth than you do. You should focus on your studies." Ming
Yuting is twenty years old and has just been admitted to night school. Because of her family's poor financial situation, she
works during the day and spends the rest of her time studying or helping her brother.

She's a very lively, straightforward, and cheerful girl. When she saw the news, she quickly ran to
the office , wanting to share this sensational news that had shaken the entire political and business world.

"Brother Zi, since you know the Cui family has a huge influence throughout Taiwan, and their wealth and reputation are top-notch
, then you should know how much attention they'll attract when they publish this marriage advertisement."
"So what? I won't go for a marriage advertisement just because I'm after the Cui family's wealth!" "You may not want it, but many
people are scrambling to marry it! As long as you can marry the Cui family's only daughter, Cui Tian'er, you can not only be rich and powerful for life, but also
inherit all of the Cui family's businesses at home and abroad! Many people have already been scrambling to apply, trying their best to win the heart
of this beauty , getting both the woman and the money." "Huh? Didn't you just say that Cui Tian'er might be very ugly, which is why the Cui family
is using this kind of marriage advertisement? How come it's about getting both the woman and the money? I think they want the money but not the woman?"
Zi Jun said dismissively.

"Wow! Brother Zi, you said you know the Cui family better than I do! Perhaps you know a lot about the business world,
but there's one thing you definitely don't know." Ming Yu Ting looked surprised and gossipy.

"Oh? What don't I know? Is she some kind of angel?" "No way! Nobody's ever
seen what she looks like. Many people just speculate that she might be ugly, which is why she needs to
find a husband this way. But she's only twenty! The Cui family is really good at planning ahead!" "Alright, what
were trying to say?" This girl has a knack for navigating the topic so skillfully. If I don't directly remind
her to get back to the point, she'll veer off into who-knows-where.

"Rumor has it that when Cui Tian'er was born, the room was filled with dazzling golden light, leaving everyone in awe.
Sure enough, after her birth, the Cui family's business flourished, as if all good fortune had descended upon them, making them..."
They would become even richer and more powerful. So all sorts of rumors spread, everyone saying that as long as you could marry Cui Tian'er,
even without the Cui family's businesses, you could still rise to prominence. "Hearing you say that, she's like a
priceless treasure ," Ming Huangyu, who had been silent, suddenly said sarcastically.

Upon hearing her elder brother finally speak, Ming Yuting quickly smiled at him and agreed,
"That's right! Everyone's saying that having Cui Tian'er is like having a priceless treasure,
granting a lifetime of wealth and power." "Is that so?" A hint
of interest suddenly appeared on Ming Huangyu's indifferent face, as if he had made a decision. "Whether she's priceless or not, whether she can bring
wealth to others, is irrelevant to me. I don't care or covet it. What I care about is
the ." His words caught the attention of both Zijun and Ming Yuting, their faces showing surprise
. Ming Yuting, in particular, exclaimed, "Big Brother…!" But Ming Huangyu merely glanced
at her indifferently and continued, "Reality is cruel and ruthless. If marrying her can solve my current
predicament and allow me to utilize my talents to get what I want, then I'm willing to do it." "But, Big Brother
…" Ming Yuting wanted to say something more, but Zijun stopped her.

Zijun, of course, knew what she was thinking. In her heart, Ming Huangyu was a proud and arrogant
man , and moreover, her proud older brother. He would never sell himself for wealth, so she
couldn't understand why he would do such a thing.

However, Zijun and he had been friends for many years. Although he was surprised by his decision, he was still willing
to support him. However, he vaguely felt that things were not so simple, so he asked, "Huangyu, you want to marry
Cui Tian'er, is there another purpose? I believe you are not a person who is greedy for wealth and luxury and averse to work."
"No! What I am greedy for is indeed the wealth and luxury of the Cui family." "Is that so?" Zijun's suspicion made Ming Huangyu suddenly
burst into laughter . After the laughter subsided, he slowly revealed his purpose: "Perhaps that is
why I allowed you to be my friend, because you really understand me." As soon as he finished speaking, he emphasized:
"That's right! I do have a purpose in marrying Cui Tian'er. After marrying her, I
can settle my family, and I will also have funds to make a comeback. I just don't want to give up." He
suddenly clenched his fists tightly, and a resolute expression appeared on his face.

"I don't believe that with my wisdom, talent, and hard work, I can't make a name for myself. I think this is the only way out
when desperate, so I have to do it." Then, he looked up at Zijun
and invited him, "Jun, if I have the funds, would you be willing to help me again?" "Of course.
Didn't I say that, regardless of success or failure, I will work hard by your side? Whatever you want to do,
I will support you to the end!" "Yes. I have my own ambitions and aspirations, and I will not give up my ideals because of this small
setback ." When Ming Yuting heard her older brother say this, her eyes couldn't help but redden. "Big brother, I
understand, I will support you too." She knew that her older brother was not only doing this for his own ideals, but also considering the family
's situation, which was why he lowered himself to participate in the matchmaking.

"Yes." In fact, he didn't need to ask anyone's consent at all. Once he made up his mind,
no one could change it. He was his own master, so he didn't need to listen to anyone's opinions. Whether they
agreed or not was not important to him at all; however, if they agreed,
he would have a good helper when he needed it.

"But, brother, even if you intend to marry Cui Tian'er, it doesn't mean you'll be able to! Think about it,
so many people are participating, including many young men from families with similar backgrounds to the Cui family;
moreover , I heard this marriage advertisement has expanded to other countries, and any unmarried man can participate. If you
want to stand out, it probably won't be easy." "No matter how difficult it is, I will do it. Yu Ting, do you see
what rules the Cui family has for the candidates?" "Oh! Let me see." Ming Yu Ting
carefully before saying, "No, there aren't any. As long as you're an unmarried man, there are no restrictions at all. The most
important thing is to win Cui Tian'er's heart; that's the primary condition. As for the others, it seems they have to go through the Cui
family's screening process before being selected." "Several people came to let her choose." Upon hearing this, Ming Huangyu immediately narrowed
his eyes and said, "So, on the surface, it seems like there are no conditions, but in reality, one must first pass
the rigorous selection and testing of the elders before meeting the true master!" "Yes! Brother, of course I know you are
the most outstanding candidate, but facing so many people, our family background and economic conditions are not the best, in fact,
they can be described as quite miserable. Do you think we might..." Her words were interrupted by Ming Huangyu, "Alright,
I understand! I will find a way myself. The most important thing now is to find out exactly
how the Cui family selects qualified candidates. I am confident that as long as I can meet Cui Tian'er, I
can definitely make her fall in love with me and marry no one else!" Yes! As the younger sister, she was acutely aware of her brother's charm.
Every woman who saw him would throw herself into his arms; unfortunately, he treated women merely
as disposable entertainment. Once he grew tired of them, he would ruthlessly send them away, his
methods so cruel that even she, as his younger sister, couldn't help but feel terrified, secretly thankful that she
wasn't one of those women for his amusement.

Therefore, winning Cui Tian'er's heart was a sure thing for him; she wasn't worried at all. What she was worried about was
how her brother would get past the shrewd elders of the Cui family.

"Alright! Brother, for your sake, I'll gather all the information so you can
get what you want," Zi Jun immediately added. "Huang Yu, if you need any help, just
ask, and I'll definitely help you to the end!" The three of them now shared the same goal and wish: to get their hands
on complete Ming Huang Yu's plan.

The marriage of the daughter of the Cui family was, of course, a sensational event. Because of her excellent family background
, the marriage proposal was a lively affair that lasted for a month. From among millions of candidates,
the patriarch of the Cui family made the final selection, choosing three candidates who then competed to win the bride
's heart.

After three months of effort, Ming Huangyu finally stood out, winning not only the heart of the beauty but also
achieving the first step of his plan. For him, these three months of painstakingly pursuing her were
an extremely laborious undertaking; moreover, she was mysterious, always wearing a veil, concealing her
true face , though he had no interest in knowing.

He only knew that she had a soft, shy voice, and didn't talk much, rarely speaking
unless ; this made him always have to find topics to interest her,
and even if she was interested, she wouldn't engage in a lively discussion. Her quiet and shy personality made it difficult to understand her
heart.

Therefore, he always observed her with his keen business acumen and understanding of human nature. Since he couldn't
judge her from her eyes and expressions, he had to rely on her unspoken body language to deduce how to
win her heart.

Each time they met, he would give her small gifts, all prepared or
made , appearing very simple, a stark contrast to the lavish gifts of the other two candidates. He knew that
his two competitors were a wealthy young man from a prominent family and an overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia,
both far more powerful than him.

To put it bluntly, he was penniless and heavily in debt, and his family background couldn't compare to theirs. Therefore, his
being favored was the hottest topic of discussion and a major news story recently. Every news story
focused on him, instantly boosting his fame, even
digging up his ancestors for discussion.

His outstanding appearance, extraordinary presence, refined speech, and regal demeanor earned him much
positive praise and admiring glances from women; moreover, his extensive knowledge, shrewd and capable abilities
, and skillful interpersonal skills were the main reasons he won the Cui family's favor. They believed that given an opportunity, his
future was limitless.

He knew that Zijun had used his connections to get the Cui family's attention, allowing them
to observe and investigate him; after an interview, they decided to include him in their shortlist.
During his conversation with the Cui family patriarch, he couldn't help but admire Cui Haotian's achievements. Cui Haotian's success wasn't solely
due to his beloved daughter, Cui Tian'er.

Cui Haotian was a formidable opponent, possessing keen observation and a precognitive understanding of things. He
wasn't a nouveau riche driven solely by profit; he frankly admitted that he chose him because the Cui family's future
business needed to be entrusted to a truly capable man.

However, he had a condition: if he could win Cui Tian'er's heart, he must produce his first son to carry on
the family line after marriage, and this child must inherit the family business. As for himself, the father, he could only
temporarily assume the position of president for his grandson after Cui Haotian grew old. Therefore

, Cui Haotian considered not only family background but also character, talent, and ability. Of course, many others were equally capable, but he believed that Ming Huangyu possessed an undeniable charismatic leadership, an undeniable aura of future greatness. Cui Haotian, confident in his experience with people, could tell that Ming Huangyu was no ordinary individual. Entrusting the Cui Corporation to him would undoubtedly lead to greater achievements than his own, and he placed high hopes on him. Furthermore, Ming Huangyu's initial request to borrow funds to pursue his ambitions and ideals revealed his ambition and potential; he was not a lazy who relied on his wife's status. Therefore, Cui Haotian considered him one of the best candidates for his future son-in-law. Now, Ming Huangyu, dressed in a black tuxedo, stood at the foot of the stairs in the Cui family's hall, waiting for his bride, Cui Tian'er, to descend so he could escort her to the luxurious villa gifted to them by the Cui family for their wedding banquet that evening. Though his face remained expressionless, he was inwardly thrilled, for he had finally achieved the result he desired. His plan had progressed smoothly, and the blueprint for his business empire was now in place. His mind was now focused solely on how to put his plan into action. This wedding was the key to his success. He didn't care about people's opinions of him now; as long as he succeeded, people would his achievements, and no one would remember that he was the son-in-law of the Cui family. With that in mind, he could endure all the criticism and disdain. Watching the bride slowly descend the winding, exquisite staircase, he quickly went to help her. After bidding farewell to the elders of the Cui family, the two walked towards the wedding car parked outside. Just as the bride was about to get into the car, someone suddenly rushed out from the crowd, catching everyone off guard… Just as that person was about to touch the bride, Ming Huangyu suddenly flashed and shielded her behind him. No one saw how he did it; the attacker was already lying on the ground groaning in pain, subdued by the security personnel who had recovered in time. Startled, Cui Tian'er was shielded behind Ming Huangyu. Just as she gasped and stumbled, she found herself embraced by a warm, broad chest, her slender waist held tightly by a strong arm. Looking up, she saw Ming Huangyu's expressionless face. When she gazed at him through the veil, her lingering gaze softened and carefully traced his face . His deep, captivating eyes and handsome features deeply attracted her attention, making her heart pound . When she realized his burning gaze was directed at her, she quickly and shyly lowered her head, unable to look at him any longer. Through the veil, this was the first time Ming Huangyu had seen Cui Tian'er's face. He found her to be a delicate and beautiful woman, with a delicate and charming appearance, utterly endearing. Her shy and timid demeanor was simply breathtaking; all his initial assumptions about her appearance were wrong. Perhaps he wasn't particularly interested in her appearance from the start, and didn't hold high expectations deep down . But he never imagined that his bride would be such a charming and beautiful woman. This not only amazed him, but also ignited his desire, making him eager to have his way with her. He had never felt such urgency towards a woman before, which greatly surprised him. It seemed her charm was truly undeniable.

Taking a deep breath, he escorted her to the car before getting in from the other side.
He had firmly refused Cui Haotian's offer to stay at the Cui family home; however, he knew he couldn't reveal this to Cui Haotian, as
he wasn't someone who easily gave in. Given his doting attitude towards his daughter, he knew he had
to work through Cui Tian'er.

Therefore, once he was certain of Cui Tian'er's feelings for him, he immediately demanded that she do this for him,
asking her to speak to Cui Haotian on his behalf; his attitude was so firm that Cui Tian'er couldn't refuse. In
the days they spent together, even though he hadn't seen her hidden beneath the veil, he could
understand from their interactions what a shy and introverted girl she was.

He had never met a girl as gentle, kind, and timid as her before. It was surprising that someone from
a wealthy family could be so neither spoiled nor willful, and without any of the typical spoiled princess's temper. This made him a little suspicious—could it be that she was just
pretending too well?

However, she had no need to fake it, so he simply took advantage of her personality to get what he
wanted . The villa they were heading to was a prime example.

In the harsh reality, he had no choice but to accept the gift. Not only would her family not accept their
precious daughter living in that makeshift tin shack, but he himself
had to yield, considering his parents' health.

But he vowed that if he succeeded in his career, he would absolutely use his own money to support the mansion,
the car, and other expenses. He would never let anyone think he was a useless gigolo.
He had emphasized this to Cui Haotian, but Cui Haotian just smiled and said, "We'll talk about it when I have the ability!"

After resting briefly at the villa, Ming Huangyu and Cui Tian'er went to the Hyatt Hotel for a grand
wedding banquet . The venue was romantic and elegant, with exquisite floral decorations creating a refreshing and
ingenious beauty. Colorful balloons served as arches, making the entire venue dreamlike, a dazzling
display .

Their arrival brought the banquet to its climax. The joyous blessings, however,
betrayed the insincerity in their words. They knew many were waiting to see the spectacle, but they dared not be too
open .

When they saw the bride's true face—a stunningly beautiful woman—they were all
stunned They couldn't believe that Emperor Ming Yu was so lucky, not only enjoying endless wealth and luxury but also
marrying such a beautiful bride. The rumors that the bride was priceless only
fueled praising his good fortune.

They reasoned that besides possessing immense wealth, the bride herself exuded
an aura of riches; possessing her meant a lifetime of wealth and power. Even without her family's wealth, marrying
her guaranteed a meteoric rise within three years.

Now, seeing her veil of mystery lifted before them, they realized how wrong their previous
assumptions had been. She wasn't an ugly woman to be ashamed of at all; on the contrary, she was an incredibly
beautiful woman.

However, halfway through the wedding banquet, the ugly, envious hearts of the people began to spread rumors that the bride
might suffer from an addiction and be unable to speak—otherwise, why would she use such a method of matchmaking? Moreover, from the moment she entered
the venue until the banquet was about to end, she simply smiled and didn't utter a single word, which inevitably aroused
suspicion.

So, as they were leaving the venue, Ming Yuting, who always doted on her elder brother, couldn't help but
speak to Cui Tian'er in a very rude tone: "Hey! Are you mute? You can't even say a word. My brother is so pitiful,
to have married a mute. What a misfortune!" Ming Yuting's unfriendly attitude was
immediately noticed by the sensitive Cui Tian'er. She didn't know how to respond, and could only open her lips, stammering, "No…
I…" But before she could finish, Ming Yuting impatiently interrupted her, "So you can
speak ! Since you can speak, why have you been so silent for so long, making everyone look at my brother with mocking eyes
? Are you doing this on purpose?" Her accusatory attitude instantly brought tears to Cui Tian'er's eyes, leaving her completely
at a loss . She had never encountered such an impolite person before, and this person was Ming Huangyu's sister, her own
aunt. How could she possibly deal with this? She could only remain silent, her face full of grievance.

Zi Jun, standing nearby, quickly tugged at Ming Yuting's arm. "Alright, Yuting, let's take your parents
home ." "Hmph! No way, I..." Ming Yuting was about to protest again when Ming Huangyu
glared at her with his sharp eyes, rendering her speechless. She could only call out defiantly, "Big brother..." But Ming Huangyu
ignored her and simply said to Zi Jun, "We'll leave Yuting and my parents to you. We'll say goodbye to the Cui family elders and
head home right away." Zi Jun nodded and pulled the reluctant Ming Yuting away. He knew, of course,
what was bothering her. However, her severe brother complex was simply pathological. Whenever she discovered
someone trying to take her older brother away, she would ruthlessly drive them away.

He knew that Ming Huangyu didn't care about those women at all, which was why he allowed Ming Yuting to interfere. But that
didn't mean
Ming Huangyu would let her do whatever she wanted. Especially since Cui Tian'er was now his wife. Whether he loved her or not, Cui Tian'er was his, and his personality was such that he would protect what he owned. Ming Yuting
should .

If she weren't his sister, he would have already taught her a
severe lesson for her extremely possessive and pathological behavior. Who understood Ming Huangyu's cruel and ruthless nature better than him?
Once he lost his temper, no one could withstand him and would regret provoking him!

Watching them leave, Ming Huangyu, who was about to walk towards the other side of the venue entrance, heard a soft,
weak voice say, "I'm sorry." He immediately looked at Cui Tian'er, who was clutching her dress tightly. She
held the corner of the dress tightly, her head bowed low, not daring to look at him. This made him slightly impatient with her
attitude , and he frowned slightly, saying, "Why are you apologizing to me?" "Because... I... I
embarrassed you... I made everyone misunderstand that you married a... mute." Her explanation made Huangyu's brows furrow even more.
"Who told you to think that?" "I..." His tone suddenly became a little rough, making Cui Tian'er shrink back
, unable to speak. Whenever his tone or expression became slightly agitated or fierce, she...
She felt so scared that she couldn't even speak properly.

Actually, it wasn't just him; anyone who spoke harshly or loudly to her
would like that since she was little. Everyone knew she was timid and shy; she was like a fragile
crystal doll. No one could bear to yell at her or give her a hard time. They always carefully protected her, worried she was cold
or hungry, and stayed with her, attentive to her emotions, afraid of accidentally making her
cry.

She was an extremely lovable girl, and no one dared to raise their voice at her. The Cui family
protected her extremely well, keeping her from the ugliness and cruelty of the world; otherwise, given her easily triggered tears
, the Cui family mansion would probably be flooded.

Her tendency to cry was a well-known fact in the Cui family. Anything, anyone, big or small,
a touching article, a moving movie, or even a misfortune befalling someone she knew
could trigger her tears.

Perhaps it was because of her kind nature that some classmates at her prestigious girls' school
exploited this weakness, asking for her help, which she always readily provided. This allowed unscrupulous individuals
to take advantage, leading to that painful lesson.

Suddenly, Ming Huangyu reached out and took her soft little hand in his. "Don't overthink it
. I don't mind at all." Sigh! What did he have to mind? After marrying her was a done deal,
he'd heard all the harshest things; they were just rumors, he didn't care. Besides, he wanted
success.

And the shortcut to success was her—Cui Tian'er.

"Really?" Cui Tian'er looked up at him expectantly, her eyes glistening with tears, wanting his
affirmation . To her, Ming Huangyu was her future support; he would be the most important person to her.

"Yes." Ming Huangyu nodded, looked at Cui Haotian waiting for them on the other side, and then pulled her
towards him. "Alright, let's go quickly, your parents are waiting for us to say goodbye!"
His reminder made Cui Tian'er smile. Thinking of her beloved parents, she quickly put aside her earlier low spirits
and walked towards them. She knew that her future life would no longer revolve around them, but around the man beside her,
her husband.

Chapter Two:

Cui Tian'er didn't know how others spent their wedding night, but she knew that she spent hers alone,
tears streaming down her face. Ever since Ming Huangyu brought her back to this new house, he had disappeared without a trace
. Several hours had passed, and she still hadn't seen him.

She wanted to step out of the room to look for him, but she didn't have the courage. The thought of facing his family made her
timid. When she entered the room, his sister's attitude was still very unfriendly, and his father, having suffered a stroke, was already
in bed resting, while his mother, due to her frail health, had also gone to bed early.

It was already past midnight, and everything was quiet, especially since their place was on Yangmingshan Mountain, where there weren't many
people , making the surroundings seem even more desolate. It didn't seem appropriate for her to search for him like this.

But she couldn't understand why he hadn't come back to his room. Did he hate her? She shook her head abruptly,
thinking she was overthinking things; if he really didn't like her, he wouldn't have married her!

But why hadn't he returned yet? Was he still angry with her? Was it because she hadn't said a word when she
entered the house ? However, she really hadn't meant to; her aunt's attitude was so fierce, she was
too afraid to say anything.

Memories raced through her mind in a jumble. She remembered the first time she saw him; she was deeply attracted by his handsome
appearance , especially his refined conversation, rich knowledge, and broad experience, which
captivated her.

Her love for him accumulated day by day; her feelings for him
seeped into , leaving her powerless and unable to resist his charm…

The reason he was able to win her favor so quickly in this marriage contest was actually
related . Contrary to rumors, her parents didn't screen candidates first,
and she didn't make the final decision; she had complete control over the selection.

Among the many photos, she chose him at first glance. For some reason, when she saw his picture,
a strange flutter in her heart stirred her delicate and sensitive soul, and without hesitation, she wanted him
. She explained this to her father, who immediately sent someone to investigate and told her that once she made her choice, she
could not regret it. Without the slightest hesitation, she told her father that she would absolutely not regret it.

However, her mother objected. Her mother knew that Ming Huangyu was an outstanding and excellent
man , but she didn't believe he would be a good husband who would cherish his wife. Therefore, she didn't approve of her obedient and gentle
daughter marrying him, lest she suffer mistreatment in the future.

After her protests proved ineffective, her father decided to let her mother choose one or two more candidates. If,
after getting to know them, she still chose to marry Ming Huangyu, then they would respect her decision.

Her father's words pleased her greatly; she knew he also admired Ming Huangyu's talent,
assessing his abilities from a male perspective. This left her mother speechless, and the matter was settled.
Apart from the three of them, no one else knew that Cui Tian'er had chosen her husband herself,
without any parental opinion or interference.

She hadn't even revealed this to Ming Huangyu! Her feelings for him were so deep, her affection so intense,
her heart overflowing with love, yet she didn't know what his feelings for her were. Perhaps
he loved her too, otherwise he wouldn't have married her. She naively thought this. Na?ve and innocent, she refused to imagine that the man she loved married her

because of her vast wealth and powerful career. She evaded reality, thinking, "Even if he had such thoughts from the beginning, shouldn't our time together have shown him that I have lovable qualities?" Just then, the door opened, and she looked up, meeting Ming Huangyu's deep, dark eyes. She quickly lowered her head, unable to look at him again. She regretted not having the courage to meet his bright, captivating gaze. Ming Huangyu looked at her with a complex expression, showing no remorse for taking so long to return to his room.

He felt apologetic, but why did she still sit there obediently, not uttering a single word of protest, shyly lowering her head,
unable to look at him again? Her quiet and unassuming attitude stirred a pang of sadness in his heart.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" His tone was somewhat harsh and impatient.

"I...I..." Her eyes reddened at his reprimanding tone, her head drooping
lower her body trembling, afraid to look up at him, unwilling to look at him.

Why had his attitude towards her suddenly changed so drastically? Before, he always spoke to her softly
, afraid of frightening her; he had never used such an impatient and harsh tone before!

What had she done wrong? Seeing his long legs standing before her,
silent , she couldn't help but blurt out, "Do you...do you hate me?" Ignoring her question, he was truly
annoyed by having to speak to her head, so he commanded, "Lift your head." His deep, resonant
voice held absolute authority, causing her small hands to clutch her nightgown skirt tightly. Her head remained still, her body
trembling involuntarily. She suddenly realized she didn't understand this man at all; otherwise,
why would he speak to her in this tone?

Where had the gentle, considerate, and soft-spoken refined man gone? Thinking this, her reddened
eyes welled with tears, threatening to spill.

Seeing her inaction, Ming Huangyu frowned impatiently, hating to see her trembling with fear because of him.
He reached out and pinched her small chin, forcing her to lift her head and look directly at him.

Her cheeks were as rosy and delicate as roses, her eyes long and captivating, her lips beautiful and luscious.
A pair of beautiful eyes shimmered with innocent tears, evoking a feeling of tenderness in one's heart. He told himself
it was normal for him to feel desire for her; after all, she was undeniably a stunning beauty.

Her fair, delicate skin was smooth and supple, its soft texture tempting one
to kiss it. Any man with blood in his veins would feel
desire upon seeing her alluring appearance; moreover, she was his wife, and possessing her was his right, not some emotional
attachment. He didn't believe in such things at all.

But for some reason, her pitiful and adorable appearance stirred his heart, and the desire within him
surged like a turbulent wave. His hands began to roam restlessly over her face, his rough
fingers gently caressing her delicate skin, giving her a strange sensation that made her cheeks flush even more and
reveal a charming expression, making her look incredibly alluring.

Her long, glossy black hair cascaded down, covering her entire back like a waterfall, making her innocent
appearance even more pitiful. He couldn't resist the temptation and lowered his head to cover her red, tender lips, extending his tongue
to lick her soft touch.

His sudden act of leaning in and kissing her made Cui Tian'er stare wide-eyed in astonishment. Seeing his masculine face and feeling
his warm breath assaulting her, her heart pounded wildly. Realizing that he was kissing her, she
couldn't help but blush with embarrassment, yet she couldn't resist his allure.

Her lips were so soft and beautiful that he couldn't help but become addicted. He took further action, sitting close to her
and pulling her fragrant, soft, and slender body into his arms.

This intimate closeness made Cui Tian'er gasp involuntarily.

He took the opportunity to stick out his tongue and suck on her pink tongue tip, swallowing her gasp. His large hands unceremoniously
kneaded her soft body and beautiful curves, successfully eliciting waves of shivers from her...

Her whole body went limp, and she kept panting softly, her voice both gentle and seductive, intoxicating. He felt his blood surging within
him , a surge of heat constantly surging through him, making him even more excited. He pressed his strong body against her,
stirring up unfamiliar waves of passion within her.

Involuntarily, she reached out her delicate, fair hand and tightly gripped the back of his shirt, afraid she would
succumb to his passionate onslaught; yet the passion still left her weak and utterly disoriented, allowing him to create wave after wave of
intense …

He savored the sweet, fruit-like taste in her mouth, skillfully exploring and
probing until she blushed and could barely breathe before he released his ravages; before shifting his focus, he reluctantly
planted countless delicate kisses on her lips before moving them away from her neck.

His hands swiftly removed her nightgown, perfectly revealing her snow-white, beautiful body before him.
His dark eyes instantly blazed with intense light, his admiring gaze tracing her exquisite curves, and
words of love that would make one blush and their heart race flowed endlessly from his lips.

His palms caressed her breasts, kneading her small, firm breasts, and elegantly pinching her
rosy nipples between two fingers, constantly rubbing and teasing them; until they became erect like pearls, he then took
them into his moist, fiery lips…

Immersed in desire, Cui Tian'er was unaware that he had placed her on the cold sheets. The cool
touch on her back and the fiery teasing of her body made her moan uncontrollably. Her red lips parted slightly, and the burning sensation made her
move her head helplessly, tightly gripping his arm as if clinging to a piece of driftwood…

That unfamiliar and fiery flame burned fiercely within her, making her so uncomfortable that she couldn't help but call out his
name , hoping he could relieve her pain.

Her most natural and innocent desire only fueled Ming Huang Yu's lust even more.

Seeing how deeply she was influenced by him, he went all out, wantonly kneading her soft breasts, while
his other hand wickedly traced the smooth curves of her body, sliding down her chest, waist,
abdomen , to her sensitive inner thighs, and then exploring her mysterious feminine area…

His exploration and teasing filled her with unbearable pleasure, and she couldn't help but
writhe , letting out soft moans.

He keenly sensed her intense reaction and couldn't help but chuckle, beginning to plunder everything from her…

A night of passion left Cui Tian'er exhausted and fast asleep, too weak to get up. Her heavy eyelids prevented her
from opening her eyes even when someone rudely shook her.

A sharp cry made her furrow her brow slightly, and she finally couldn't help but beg, "Um, don't disturb me…
Aunt Cui, let me sleep a little longer, I'm so tired." She turned over and continued to sleep soundly, completely
ignoring deliberate disturbance.

Unexpectedly, the person seemed to deliberately disturb her sleep, forcefully pulling at her blankets, preventing her from getting any rest.
Just as she was about to protest, she found herself being pushed off the bed, her back throbbing with pain as she woke up.

When she opened her sore eyes, she was shocked to find herself facing Ming Yuting's slightly disgusted
face and disdainful gaze. She gasped, unable to utter a word, her mind filled with confusion as she wondered
why she was there.

Then came Ming Yuting's contemptuous voice: "Get up now! Lying there naked, what kind of behavior
is this?" A bitter feeling welled up inside her. Although she didn't want to be treated this way, the thought that Ming Yuting had taken
her place and was so close to her elder brother, their relationship clearly extraordinary, made her furious and angry at the sight of her.

Zijun, her older brother, had tried to persuade her, even having a long talk with her, urging her to curb her abnormal brotherly
infatuation. However, she believed that no other man in the world could match her brother's
worth. Given his excellence and outstanding qualities, there was simply no woman in the world worthy of him.

Cui Tian'er was only able to gain her brother's favor because of her family's wealth; for that
reason, she might still treat her with some courtesy. Before calling her in, she had mentally prepared herself, thinking
that as long as Cui Tian'er didn't provoke her, she wouldn't hold a grudge.

But while she was meticulously helping her brother marry a wealthy heiress to fulfill his ambitions,
she discovered that the seemingly ugly bride she had once thought was actually a stunning beauty. How could she accept this?

Now, seeing the hickeys and passionate red marks on Cui Tian'er's body, she was consumed by jealousy and lost her mind.
What right did Cui Tian'er have to have her brother? She had no right to him; her brother belonged to her alone. From childhood, she
had always been by her elder brother's side, managing everything for him; their relationship was one that no outsider could interfere with,
not even her.

But her brother had consummated their marriage—how could she bear it? So, when she saw the obvious bruises and hickeys on her
neck , and saw her still sleeping soundly like an innocent infant, she
was consumed by rage and pushed her forcefully. What made her so furious was that this woman deserved her brother's favor? She
refused to accept it !

Resentment twisted her face, unconsciously transforming her into a girl who was no longer lovable.
She was completely unaware that her perverse behavior would bring her future misfortune and harm.

Upon hearing her words, Cui Tian'er quickly stood up, her
face flushed, covering herself with the blanket on the bed. She slowly moved her aching body, recalling Ming Huang Yu's passionate actions the previous night, making
her cheeks even redder.

Seeing the natural allure and sensuality in her eyes, Ming Yuting was extremely displeased and couldn't help but scold her:
"What are you daydreaming about? Humph! Just because you're a rich young lady doesn't mean you're so great! You slept until the sun was
high in the sky and still need to be invited. Well, it's true, people of our background can't possibly be worthy of such treatment. My poor parents are still waiting for you to
pay your respects. I never expected you to have so much influence!"

Such sharp and sarcastic words were something Cui Tian'er had never heard before. She was at a loss for words and could only
shyly explain in a low voice, "Auntie, please... don't be angry... I..."

"Oh dear!" Ming Yuting exclaimed feigned surprise, then continued her sarcastic remark, "So you
're not mute, but a little stutterer! My brother is so pitiful, how could he marry a woman like you..."
Just as she was about to launch into another tirade, a stern and cold voice suddenly rang out—"Yuting,
I never imagined your verbal skills had reached such a level of perfection."

These words froze Ming Yuting's words, leaving her speechless. She glared fiercely
at Cui Tian'er before turning away... Facing her eldest brother standing at the door, she gave him a sweet and lovely
smile and said in a coquettish voice, "Big brother? Weren't you going out to talk business with Brother Zi?" She
wasn't afraid of what her brother might do to her, because she knew that even though he was cold-hearted, he treated her the most specially among all his people.
Out of brotherly affection, he always let her have her way and rarely got angry with her; but that didn't mean he had never been
angry with her. Just that one time she stayed out all night, which made him furious, she never dared
to misbehave and provoke him.

Now, although her brother's voice was very stern, it didn't mean he would blame her. After all, between her and Cui Tian'er
, she was the most important person to her brother, and Cui Tian'er was just a pawn he was using.

Ming Huangyu's gaze unconsciously drifted to the bewildered Cui Tian'er, a pang of pity crossing his heart. His tone
softened as he said, "Go wash up and change your clothes first. I'll take you to meet my parents."
Cui Tian'er breathed a sigh of relief upon noticing Ming Huangyu's arrival. She truly couldn't handle Ming Yuting's onslaught; so his
words made her move with a sense of relief, breaking the tense atmosphere.

Watching her figure disappear behind the bathroom door, Ming Huangyu finally turned his attention to Ming Yuting.
A dangerous glint flashed in his narrowed eyes, but his tone remained gentle: "Yuting, you can go out now." Ming
Yuting walked up to him and called out sweetly, "Big brother, I'm sorry. I was afraid she was a spoiled rich
girl. To prevent her from bullying Mom and Dad in the future, I wanted to give her a warning. You won't blame me, will you?"
She knew all too well how threatening the glint in her brother's eyes was. It seemed that unless she used a pleading approach, she
wouldn't be able to persuade him.

"Yuting, I hope that before you judge someone, you give her a chance to observe her carefully to see if she's
really that kind of person before you lay your hands on her. That's better, understand?"

A malicious resentment flashed in Ming Yuting's eyes. She blamed Cui Tian'er for this; it seemed her brother
's affection for her was beyond her expectations.

A smile spread across her face as she said to him, "Okay, I know." "Then aren't you going out?" "Oh."
As Ming Yuting closed the door, she saw him helping Cui Tian'er straighten her clothes. His intimate care
infuriated . She decided to teach him a lesson; who told him to try and steal her older brother? He belonged to her alone.

Her small hand trembled uncontrollably, catching Ming Huangyu's attention. He turned his head slightly to look at Cui Tian'er and
noticed she was biting her red lips, unable to hide her trembling. He couldn't help but pay more attention to her,
and finally asked softly, "What's wrong? Is the air conditioning too strong?" Cui Tian'er shook her head, her hand trembling...
She whispered, "I'm a little scared..." "There's nothing to be afraid of, they're all very nice people." Even if
they wanted to treat her badly, they wouldn't have the strength. This was something he didn't want to say aloud; he didn't want to frighten her, she
was already scared enough.

"Mm." Cui Tian'er took a deep breath, telling herself there was nothing to be afraid of. She couldn't
lose face , otherwise even she wouldn't forgive herself.

Because Ming Huangyu's parents' physical condition was different from ordinary people, she went into their room to see them.
His father had suffered a stroke and was lying in bed, almost unable to move except for being conscious and able to open his eyes.
Seeing them come, she could see that his father seemed very agitated, his mouth moving as if he wanted to say something
but couldn't make a sound; while his mother looked thin and pale, as if she would
collapse at any moment if the wind blew.

Ming Huangyu hired a caregiver to take care of their daily lives, mainly to take care of his father;
his mother was just a little weak, but could still move freely.

The mother of the underworld sat on a chair by the bed, gently patting the father of the underworld. "Alright, I know you're happy that your son
has finally gotten married, and so am I. Look how beautiful your son's wife is."
Seeing felt very sad, and her eyes welled up with tears.
"Dad, Mom," she called softly.

The mother of the underworld stood up and walked to Cui Tian'er. "Tian'er, thank you for not minding and for being willing to marry into our
family despite the hardship; if it weren't for you, I think our family would be in a terrible state by now." The mother of the underworld's words left
Cui Tian'er at a loss.

The underworld emperor, however, said impatiently to his mother, "Mom, please don't say those things, okay?" "Okay, okay,
I won't say them, but Tian'er, I still want to thank you." "Mom, please sit down." Seeing that she looked
like she was about to fall after only standing for a short while, Cui Tian'er quickly reached out to help her sit down.

The Underworld Mother felt lonely because her two children were busy with their studies and careers and rarely spent time with her. Her husband
was unable to speak, so even when she did speak, she had no one to keep her company. Seeing Cui
Tian'er's thoughtful gesture filled her heart with joy.

After sitting down, she patted Cui Tian'er's hand and said, "Tian'er, you
don't have any airs of a pampered young lady. If you'd like, could you spare some time to chat with me?" The eagerness in her voice was
so strong that Cui Tian'er couldn't refuse. She quickly nodded and gave her a sweet smile, "Okay, Mom,
I'll definitely come and chat with you. I'm not very good at chatting, though, I hope you don't mind." "No, no."
Seeing how much his mother loved Cui Tian'er, Underworld Emperor Yu felt somewhat at ease. At least when he was
extremely , she had company and wouldn't be too bored.

However, some people were extremely envious. Ming Yuting immediately snuggled up to her mother, acting coquettishly and seemingly
unconcernedly pushing Cui Tian'er aside, almost causing her to fall.

Seeing this, Ming Huangyu swiftly reached out and pulled her into his arms, letting her feel his hot
masculine scent enveloping her…

Cui Tian'er's attention was completely drawn to his unruly hands. He gently nibbled her ear, causing her
to let out a soft gasp, surprised and embarrassed by his bold actions; she couldn't help but push him
away , afraid their intimate moments would be seen.

"Yu, don't…" she protested softly, but he remained unmoved.

"Anyway, we're husband and wife, what's there to be ashamed of?" Ming Huangyu was displeased with Ming Yuting's increasingly excessive behavior.
It seemed he needed to take some concrete action to make her understand certain facts, perhaps then she
would stop her pointless attempts to exclude Cui Tian'er.

"But...ah...!" Her words
were interrupted by the shivering sensation caused by Ming Huangyu suddenly sticking out his tongue to lick her soft earlobe, and she involuntarily let out a cry of surprise.

Sure enough, her cry immediately attracted the attention of the onlookers.

Ming Yuting was furious to see her elder brother intimately embracing Cui Tian'er. "Elder brother..." she
couldn't help but call out to him.

However, her elder brother completely ignored her, pretending not to hear her, and continued to flirt with Cui Tian'er.
This abnormal behavior of her elder brother made her feel unbalanced, and she blamed all the blame on Cui Tian'er.

Her resentful gaze pierced her, her distorted face contorted with malice. She didn't know
where she got the strength, but suddenly lunged at Cui Tian'er and slapped her. "I hate you! I despise you!"
Her sudden, frenzied attack stunned everyone; no one had expected her explosive power to be so
terrifying and astonishing. Cui Tian'er was terrified and cried, especially the stinging pain on her cheek…

Even the mother of the underworld was stunned by her daughter's inexplicable violence. To her even greater astonishment, her son
immediately retaliated, slapping his daughter as well, the crisp sound echoing in the air. Ming Yuting's face immediately swelled up; Ming Huangyu's slap was clearly much stronger

than the one she had given Cui Tian'er . How could such a thing happen on Cui Tian'er's very first day? What on earth was going on? Her elder brother had never hit her, yet he slapped her for Cui Tian'er's sake, which fueled Ming Yuting's resentment and made her completely oblivious to her own mistakes. "Hmph! Don't be so smug. My brother will protect you only because he's after your family's money. Once he succeeds, you'll be useless." With that, she impulsively ran out of the room, leaving Cui Tian'er stunned. She had never imagined that Ming Yuting's unfriendly, almost was because of Ming Huangyu. "Mom, I'll take Tian'er out first." Ming's mother didn't speak, only nodded. Watching them leave, a sense of unease and fear welled up inside her. Seeing her daughter's morbid infatuation with her son today, she regretted it. She shouldn't have let her daughter know so much; perhaps if she hadn't known so much, this explosive situation wouldn't have happened. Alas! She was wrong. But now that she knew she was wrong, was it too late to reverse her daughter's morbid behavior? Sitting on the edge of the bed, Cui Tian'er cautiously observed the increasingly gloomy expression on Ming Huangyu's face, not daring to utter a single word. The stinging pain on her cheek, under his unconscious touch, made it slightly warm. "Does it hurt a lot?" His question startled Cui Tian'er at first, then she shook her head, her small face showing some worry.

"I think..." she stammered, afraid to speak.

"Thinking about what?" "Well, I was thinking that Yu Ting must be in more pain than me right now. That slap you gave me wasn't light,
especially since you're a grown man, your strength must be even greater than ours..." Under Ming Huang Yu's stern gaze and
gloomy expression, she dared not continue, her voice growing softer and softer until it finally stopped.

Under his gaze, Cui Tian'er dared not say another word, but as the silence lengthened,
she began to feel uneasy under his gaze. "B-that's true...you, you just hit me
so hard and loudly. Just thinking about how it would hurt if that hit my cheek;
not to mention, there was blood at the corner of her mouth...Yu...why are you looking at me like that?"
Under his bright, shining eyes, Cui Tian'er felt extremely awkward, her heart pounding faster and faster, almost leaping out of
her chest . He was making her extremely uncomfortable.

"She hit you, and you're still defending her?" His tone was gentle, making it impossible to discern his current emotions.

"I was just imagining... Yu?" She suddenly called out to him, then demanded, "Don't hit
her anymore. Talk things out properly!" "Enough!" The gentle voice suddenly erupted into a terrifying
shout.

Cui Tian'er was startled and reflexively tried to jump away from him, but he held her firmly, preventing
her from moving.

Looking at her tearful, accusing eyes, as if she were blaming him for scaring her with his loud voice, he had forgotten
how . His anger had truly been ignited by her. This woman...

"Are you an idiot? You were hit, and you're still concerned about her? She might not even appreciate it." "But she's
your sister!" Although he had made her tearful, for some reason, deep down she knew he
would never physically harm her, which was why she spoke to him while crying. Honestly, his
act of protecting her just now had truly warmed her heart.

Oh! Dad, Mom, your daughter's judgment was absolutely right; he really is the perfect man she chose from among millions.

A feeling of joy welled up inside her, making her smile involuntarily.

Ming Huangyu was completely baffled by her alternating crying and laughing. Women are such fickle and unpredictable
creatures; he really couldn't understand her, why she was crying one minute and laughing the next. "May I ask what you're laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at myself..." She suddenly stopped, remembering who she was talking to, and quickly stuck out her tongue.
Just kidding ! How could she tell him such an embarrassing discovery? If he knew, wouldn't he laugh at her
for being shameless, actually gloating over her own discerning eye?

She quickly shook her head and said to him, "No, nothing. I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me."
Hearing her say that, he felt even more that she was hiding something from him. However, her little head was always full of
unbelievable thoughts, which he simply couldn't stand. It would have been fine if she hadn't said anything, but...

"Who's worried about you? If you're alright, I need to go to the study to look at some official documents." He hurriedly
finished speaking and then turned to leave.

But his words didn't affect Cui Tian'er's good mood at all; on the contrary, she smiled even more happily. Although he
said he wasn't worried about her, he still needed to make sure she was alright before going to work. Wasn't that an admission that he cared about her a lot
?

It seemed that her husband liked to say things he didn't mean. She couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

Chapter 3

Since having the funds, Ming Huangyu began a life of hectic activity, single-mindedly wanting to build his own
business empire; of course, as the son-in-law of the Cui family, he naturally had to shoulder part of the responsibility for the Cui Corporation.

Although his accumulated experience and knowledge made him somewhat familiar with the work, the Cui
Corporation, being a multinational corporation, was still overwhelming. The sheer volume of documents and complex workflows left him
exhausted of papers, another would immediately pile up…

He realized then that his cunning father-in-law had irresponsibly dumped all the company's
affairs on him, handing him
absolute power over the life and death of everyone in the Cui Corporation, while he and his beloved wife, his mother-in-law, went on a trip abroad.

He couldn't understand why someone as astute as Cui Haotian would entrust the Cui Corporation to him.
Had he forgotten that he himself had lowered himself to seek marriage for power and money? And now, he was
handing over all available permissions and financial control to him—wasn't that a bit too much trust?

Was he testing him? He couldn't help but have such doubts. He wasn't a three-year-old; he wasn't so naive as
to believe he could be lucky enough to gain his father-in-law's favor and reliance. Besides, he was always
plagued by bad luck. Not only was he constantly plagued by misfortune, but even those who came close to him seemed to suffer terrible things.

Just look at Zijun's fate. He had been his closest
friend , but what good had he done?

Not only had he achieved nothing, but his luck was also about to turn as bad as his own. Fortunately, he was an
orphan, single-handedly supporting his entire family, so he didn't have to worry about anything. Yet, he was still willing to struggle and fight alongside him
. He just couldn't understand why Zijun would stay with him even knowing that misfortune would follow.

And the only answer he received was that he was happy! Ha! It was precisely because of Zijun
's personality that they were compatible, making their relationship even more harmonious.

From childhood, he was like a cursed ghost, always unlucky. He'd trip and fall even on flat ground, and
anyone who came near him seemed to catch his bad luck, so everyone kept their distance.

This happened so often that he cursed whenever he thought about it. Now, he couldn't help but
wonder if all this good fortune was brought to him by his wife. Otherwise, why
had his luck improved so drastically since he married her? Not only was he handling the Cui Group with ease, but his ambition to build his own business
empire was progressing with astonishing success.

He closed the door, and through the small bedside lamp Cui Tian'er had left for him, he looked at her sleeping in bed. He couldn't help but think about
how smoothly everything had been going lately, and his mood had improved as well. He couldn't help but walk towards her,
quietly sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her soft, baby-like pink cheeks, and unconsciously reaching out to gently stroke them…
At

this moment, his feelings were complex. He had never imagined that what he had initially thought was simply fulfilling his ambitions…
He was ambitious, which is why he was willing to marry her. At that time, he only saw her as a tool to be used;
but he never expected that she would be so unexpected.

Perhaps it should be said that she shook his heart, which had never been moved by anyone before. Whenever he had a spare moment, her
image would inexplicably appear in his mind, leaving him no chance to resist. What

he least expected was that he began to believe that she was truly as priceless as the rumors said! At least
to him.

No one would believe it if it were said, but he, who was always very popular with women, was actually quite shy.
Of course, this was a matter of his male pride and face, so how could he possibly tell anyone this
secret ?

Of course, this secret was also the reason why he allowed Ming Yuting
to do whatever she wanted to isolate all the women around him without getting angry, but he would never reveal it.

A cruel smile crept across his face. He was a shrewd businessman, his calculations meticulously planned.
How could he possibly let a woman who could help him leave his side?

Yes! That must be it. His inexplicable infatuation with her was definitely related to the rumored priceless treasure.
Would he stop having so many misfortunes after marrying her? Although he was usually very stubborn,
he had to believe it now.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt he should go to sleep. He realized he had been sleeping in his office for a month because of work
, and hadn't held his wife in his arms for a long time. Thinking of her fragrant, soft body, he decided to
quickly wash up so he could go to bed and hold his wife; otherwise, who would relieve his pent-up desires these past few days
?

Who told her body to be so alluring? He almost couldn't control himself and pounced on her. It was strange; since
meeting her, he seemed to have turned into a lecherous wolf?

Oh well, never mind, I'd better go take a shower! The mere thought of her made him irritable and
gave him a terrible headache. He turned to head towards the bathroom, but his eyes suddenly caught sight of something gleaming.
He turned back and discovered the light was coming from the bed.

Curious, he walked to the bedside and found the light was emanating from Cui Tian'er. He searched
for the glowing object, grabbed her wrist, and pulled it up. In the dim
light, he noticed it emitted a dazzling golden light, so brilliant it
almost blinded him.

He examined it closely and saw it was made of precious pure gold, its
intricate It felt smooth and delicate to the touch, radiating a mysterious glow.

Strange, why hadn't he noticed she had this piece of jewelry before? Perhaps his movements
disturbed Cui Tian'er's sleep; she woke up, opened her eyes, and looked at him.

"When...when did you get back?" Cui Tian'er called out softly, surprised
to see her husband, whom she hadn't seen for days, the moment she opened her eyes.

Ming Huangyu didn't speak. Seeing her long, flowing hair and elegant appearance, he momentarily forgot his doubts,
only thinking about the smoothness of her hair, the delicate
softness of her skin, and the pleasure of possessing her body…

Just imagining the intense, tight pleasure of possessing her made his body heat up.
Without a word, he pulled her into his arms and lowered his head for a long, passionate kiss.

Cui Tian'er could barely withstand his passion and almost couldn't breathe.

"Mmm…" A month's worth of suppressed passion erupted uncontrollably. His kisses were urgent and intense, his hands
cupping her smooth, creamy breasts, his thumbs caressing her erect nipples.

Her fingers, teased by him, slowly traced his hair, gently weaving through it, while his
lips lingered on her skin, sucking and kissing.

She clung tightly to his back, forcing him closer, closer still, listening to his increasingly rapid breathing
, which stirred her overwhelming passion. Her heart pounded, her cheeks flushed with passion, and her lips pursed
sensually , emitting intoxicating moans.

He immediately sensed her invitation and fervent response, and without further hesitation, he thrust into her with all his might
. He was lost in wild passion, blindly leading her in her movements; until
the climax of passion overwhelmed him, causing him to cry out uncontrollably…

Cui Tian'er opened her eyes, seeing his still rapid breathing and ecstatic expression, a dizzying
feeling welled up inside her. She couldn't help but reach out and touch his cheek, finding it
unbelievable .

Immersed in the joy of being valued, her hand gently traced every line of his face, her
lingering gaze as if trying to imprint his features deeply into her mind.

A shy smile appeared on her face; she felt his tenderness, and his relaxed body nestled close to her
side, making her love this moment dearly. Whenever they were intimate, she always had a strange feeling,
as if in that moment, they belonged entirely to each other, and he belonged to her alone.

Unlike usual, when he always maintained a distant attitude, leaving her troubled and unsure how to approach
him. She was his closest wife in his life, and his attitude had caused her
immense pain, leaving her heartbroken and unsure what to do.

But now, this position, this embrace, made her feel so happy and content, a dreamy
smile face. But her hand on his cheek suddenly stopped, and her whole body stiffened.

Ming Huangyu, being an extremely perceptive person, immediately noticed her unease. He quickly rolled over and lay back down on the bed,
wondering if he was too heavy and had pressed down on her. "What's wrong?" As soon as he moved away, he
saw Cui Tian'er immediately sit up, her face filled with horror, staring at the doorway. "Someone's here!" Her cry
made Ming Huangyu jump up immediately and rush to the doorway, but he didn't find anyone. He turned back, intending
to tell her that she was being paranoid, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the door he had clearly closed was now ajar. He
reached out and pushed the door shut.

He walked calmly toward the bathroom and said to her, "You must be
hallucinating ." Then he went into the bathroom to shower. He needed to think things through; he didn't intend to let Cui Tian'er go through this trouble.
Thoughts and energy; anyway, with her simple mind, she definitely couldn't think of anything too complicated.

Sure enough, when Cui Tian'er heard him say that, she immediately thought that it was probably because she was too tired that she
was hallucinating, otherwise who would be so bored as to hide by the door and peek at them? Maybe she was really overthinking it.

Cui Tian'er couldn't help but laugh at herself, then cutely stuck out her tongue and lay down comfortably.
She was thinking, wondering what she should do to get closer to Ming Huang Yu?

Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly felt the other side of the bed sink in, adding a lot of weight.
She didn't need to look to know it was Ming Huang Yu. So she timidly asked him, "Yu?" "Hmm?" He had never
known before that a woman's appearance could be so pleasing to the eye. How come he hadn't noticed before?
Or was it because the object of his affection was different?

Thinking of this possibility, he couldn't help but frown slightly, not understanding that this timid and shy little thing could
actually move his heart. Watching her pink lips open and close, his desire surged again...

Then, when he came to his senses, he realized that his shoulder was being pushed by a pair of soft little hands.

"What?" "What are you thinking about? You didn't answer my question!" Her coquettish demeanor
intoxicated Ming Huangyu. He couldn't help but shake his head and curse under his breath. What was it about her that made him stare at
her in a daze?

Unexpectedly, Cui Tian'er suddenly became alarmed and shouted in his ear. She even boldly used her hand to hold
his head and said to him in a scolding tone, "Why are you shaking so hard? Aren't you afraid of shaking your head off?"
Seeing her serious and worried look, Ming Huangyu couldn't help but find it amusing. He reached out and pulled her into
his arms. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could your head fall off like that?" "But even if
it doesn't fall off, I'll still feel dizzy and lightheaded!" "How do you know? You're not me, how would you understand how I feel?"
Logically speaking, his tired body should have protested long ago, but at this moment he was in such a good mood that he felt like teasing her
.

"Because once I shook myself like that, kept shaking myself, and ended up feeling dizzy and unable to stand up
straight , almost falling over! I never dared to try that kind of terrible experience again, so when I saw you
shaking your head so hard just now, I was afraid you would get dizzy too!" "Oh? Why did you shake yourself so hard that time?" He suddenly
became interested in her past.

"Because I saw a news report on TV saying that many people like to go to 'shaking clubs' to shake their heads, so
I was wondering why they all like to go there to shake their heads so much? Is shaking your head really that fun? No matter who I
asked, they wouldn't tell me, so I got angry and just shook my head myself!" Cui Tian'er complained.

"But it's not fun at all. I kept shaking and shaking, and all I felt was dizziness and pain. I
just don't understand what they mean by 'happiness'." She said doubtfully, her face showing a dismissive expression.

"Silly girl! They feel euphoric because they've taken ecstasy. That's something most modern
people do when they're bored or feeling down." How could she be so naive? She actually
did something like that? Luckily, she only shook her head and didn't actually go to an ecstasy parlor.

Thinking of this, Ming Huangyu suddenly narrowed his eyes and warned her, "Don't you dare go and take
that stuff. It's a type of drug, and if you get caught, you'll go to jail!" "Okay!" "By
the way, what did you want to ask me?" "I just wanted to know if you'll be very, very busy in the future
?" "Yes." "Then, can I come to your company to see you occasionally?" Cui Tian'er asked cautiously,
afraid of upsetting him. She remembered that her father would always get angry when her mother suddenly came to the company. She was afraid he
would be unhappy, and if he was unhappy, he wouldn't like her anymore.

"What do you want to see me for?" She knew that Ming Huangyu was a very career-oriented man, so she
gave him a flattering smile and said, "Nothing, I just... just wanted to please you!" "What?"
Ming Huangyu began to doubt his ears. She actually said she wanted to please him? Wasn't she an extremely
shy and timid woman? When did she become so brave as to say such things to please him?

His incredulous reaction frightened Cui Tian'er. She couldn't help but redden her eyes, her little mouth pouting,
her pink face looking at him with a wronged expression. Even her speech became slurred. She lowered her head
and twisted her little hands, wrinkling the sheets.

"You... don't like me trying to please you, then I won't try to please you. I thought that as long as I pleased you,
you would be happy; that's why I tried so hard to please you; since you don't like pleasing me... then..."
Ming Huangyu could only hear her muttering the word "pleasing me" in a low voice, but he couldn't understand
what she meant. Could it be that she had mastered the art of tongue twisters and was using him as a model for learning?

Ming Huangyu couldn't stand her long string of words about pleasing me any longer and couldn't help but shout, "Stop!" Unexpectedly,
his roar was like a bolt from the blue, startling her into silence. Her mournful eyes then swept
over , and she burst into tears like a child.

Her series of movements were executed flawlessly and naturally, leaving Ming Huangyu dumbfounded. He couldn't help
but wonder if she had practiced it hundreds of times. However, he remembered his father-in-law's instructions:
never make Tian'er cry, or he would have to bear the consequences!

He hadn't taken it seriously then, but now, seeing her like this, he was extremely annoyed.

Was her previous shyness, timidity, and obedient gentleness all an act? Otherwise,
how could she cry so willfully in front of him so matter-of-factly?

"Shut up!" He never bowed his head to a woman, let alone showed weakness, and being presumptuous was
absolutely out of the question; so the only way he could control her was to use his authority.

His shout did indeed stop her crying, and he nodded in satisfaction. But his satisfaction lasted
only three seconds before her crying suddenly erupted with an even stronger force, almost
rupturing his eardrums.

He could have hardened his heart and ignored her, but in the still of the night, in order not to let her
wake his parents, he had no choice but to force himself to comfort her in a low voice, but he avoided ignoring the pain in his heart caused by her
crying .

"Okay! Stop crying!" Who comforts someone so perfunctorily? Besides, he
patted her back casually and then didn't touch her again, as if her back would burn his hand
.

But she wouldn't even flinch, as if she were addicted to crying, which annoyed him so much that he grabbed her
and pulled her face towards him. "What's wrong with you, woman? Didn't I tell you to stop crying?
Didn't you understand?" Cui Tian'er sobbed, looking at him with utter grievance. "You...
you're so mean..." "You're awful! How am I mean?" he said through gritted teeth, "I was clearly trying
to comfort you, but you're ungrateful and keep crying, like you've never cried before, and you dare say I'm mean!"
"Waaah...you still say you're not? You're clearly yelling at me now, and you still dare to deny it!" Who
comforts someone with harshness? This was the first time she'd ever seen it.

Hearing her dare to point out his mistakes made his eyes widen. "Say that again and see what happens!"
Wow! He was actually threatening her! He really didn't like her—no! He absolutely loathed her. "I knew it!
It must be because I didn't please you that you hate me so much." Good heavens! Ming Huangyu suddenly felt
powerless . What was going on? Why was his wife, whom he'd just married
, completely different after a month of hectic work, when he finally managed to find a moment to chat with her? She was no longer the shy, timid, quiet, and introverted woman
he 'd known.

Sure enough! His thoughts were right. Women were simply not good for conversation; their
only endearing moment was in bed. Otherwise, why would she bring up his dislike for her?
He didn't remember ever saying he disliked her! Her imagination was truly vivid.

"Tian'er, may I ask you a question?" When he spoke to her in such a polite tone,
Cui Tian'er immediately flashed a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, looking at him expectantly. "Of course!"
She naively believed that the more polite and courteous Ming Huangyu's tone was towards her, the more it meant he liked her.

Alas! Sometimes, ignorance is bliss. Everyone who gets close to Ming Huangyu, or knows
his personality, knows that the gentler his tone, the more dangerous he is. Smart people know
to protect themselves and try to slip away quickly to avoid dying too soon.

Because, frankly, he has a terrifying and unlucky mouth. Getting close to him not only brings a series of misfortunes, but even his
words are so terrifying that they bring endless bad luck. Therefore, everyone believes that he must be a plague god reincarnated
to have such a terrifying influence, like a contagious plague.

Ignoring her radiant smile, Ming Huangyu gritted his teeth and asked softly, "Who taught you to try to
please me?" "It was my mother!" Cui Tian'er answered quickly, without the slightest hesitation. "She said that
as women, as long as we know how to please our husbands and make them comfortable, we're
good wives and can win their hearts." Good heavens! He was right. He never imagined that
the culprit who had taught her to be like this was his frail, sickly mother. Really, was she tired of
living such a comfortable life? "Do you even know what that means?" "Of course I know
!" Cui Tian'er nodded foolishly, completely unaware of the impending crisis and the heavy
price she would pay for those words.

"Oh?" He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Then may I ask you again, what does that mean?"
"Of course not!" Cui Tian'er's direct refusal startled Ming Huangyu; and hearing her
next words left him speechless.

She shook her head at him, continuing to spout her self-righteous theories: "This is my
secret weapon to please you, how can I tell you first? That would ruin the fun. Mother says that couples
need romance, that's how a relationship thrives." Really! Her transformation was truly astonishing, leaving him
speechless and admiring his mother's terrifying transformative power, managing to turn Cui Tian'er from a shy and timid
girl into a brave and confident one. Should he thank his mother, or should he distance himself from them?

"Alright!" He decided not to press further, but... "Do you have the courage to do those
things ?" As soon as he asked, he saw the expected blush rise to her cheeks, forming natural
rosy hues that made her look charming and shy. She placed her soft hands on her cheeks and whispered, "Oh!
You... don't remind me, I'll be embarrassed." Seeing her reaction, for some reason
, amused him. He found teasing her incredibly fun, and he always felt he should enjoy teasing her
. Subconsciously, he wanted to do it, so he reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"That's not right. If I didn't remind you, wouldn't you still do it?" Actually, he
was very much looking forward to seeing just how bold and unrestrained she would be, and how diligently she would try to please him.
Holding !

But just thinking about it now, he felt a burning desire surge within him, and his restless hands
began . She was extremely shy at his actions and quickly reached out to cover herself,
but the golden bracelet touched his skin, attracting his attention.

"Tian'er? When did you get this bracelet?" Ming Huangyu suddenly asked.

His question made Cui Tian'er raise her fair and smooth hand, making the bracelet on her wrist even more
conspicuous. She looked at it with a very strange expression, but he couldn't determine
what that strange look in her eyes meant.

"Isn't it beautiful?" There was no joy in her tone. "Let me tell you, this bracelet is
priceless . I think even exchanging the entire Cui Corporation wouldn't be enough!" He already knew that the bracelet was extremely valuable,
and her irrelevant answer made him suspicious and sense her emotional instability.

"I'm asking you, why do you have this bracelet? I've never seen you wear it before." "Yes!"
she answered, lowering her hand. "I just hid it very well before, and it's quite special;
it changes color." Seeing the incredulous look on his face, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Actually, it's not some strange thing, just a treasure everyone wants. Because it's my..."
"My late grandfather commissioned someone to make this for me. It's made of two materials: pure gold and pure white
crystal , synthesized using advanced technology. During the day, it displays the color of pure white crystal, making it difficult
to notice, while at night it displays a dazzling golden brilliance." She paused here,
looking at him.

Ming Huangyu immediately realized why he hadn't noticed it before. Aside from
the passionate , he'd spent every subsequent night in his office—how could he have noticed?

But something was amiss. "Then why didn't I see its dazzling light on our wedding night?"
He wasn't blind; how could he not have seen something so bright?

"That's because I covered it with a black cloth first, and then wrapped it with bandages, so you
didn't notice. You haven't been home to sleep lately, so I let it breathe. If I wrap it up for too long, my wrist
gets itchy and uncomfortable. I just didn't expect...

" "I didn't expect you to come home so suddenly." He finished her sentence for her, then took her hand and
examined it carefully, as if it were alive. It was a really strange thought, but why did he have
this feeling for no reason?

"Yu? What are you looking at?" Minghuang Yu shook his head. "When did you start wearing it?"

"I heard my mother say it started when I was a month old, because I cried non-stop from birth, and no matter what
we did, it didn't work. But after my grandfather put it on me, I stopped crying. So they thought it was
a rare treasure and very suitable for me, so I never took it off."

"I see." He must be overthinking it.

"Tian'er, don't you think it looks like..." He didn't finish his sentence because he didn't know
if he should say such an absurd thing. He even found it funny to himself!

But Cui Tian'er seemed to know what he was going to say, and continued, "Breathes, has life?"

His head abruptly shifted from his focused examination of the bracelet to her face. "You think so too?"

"Yes, that's right! That's exactly it. Because this bracelet is really special, it gives people this
illusion . Actually, it's not real life, but..."

She suddenly paused, about to say something, but then abruptly changed the subject and looked at him, "It's because the person
who designed it is too amazing, using modern technology to give it a flowing sense of life. In reality, it
's just an expensive piece of jewelry."

Ming Huangyu felt that she seemed to be hiding or avoiding something, but he didn't want to point it out. He simply pushed her down onto the bed, uninterested
, and suddenly gave her a malicious smile. "Don't talk about these unpleasant topics.
I'm more interested in you trying to please me."

"What?" His sudden action of pushing her down and laughing like the big bad wolf she had seen in fairy tales left
her somewhat bewildered, her mind unable to process what he was saying.

Weren't they just talking so well a moment ago? Why the sudden turn of events? He was completely bewildered.

His hands began to roam freely over her body again, giving her no chance to protest.
She was aroused and driven to madness, losing all reason.

"Didn't you say you wanted to please me? Your husband is happy to cooperate with your plans. Now, let me show you
how to please you in bed!" He kissed her lips without warning, leaving her only able to make soft
moans.

Unable to speak, she desperately wanted to correct his mistake! She remembered that
this wasn't part of her mother's instructions on how to please him!

But she couldn't bring herself to ask him to change his ways. She was already
dizzy and disoriented , lost in a blissful, sensual world, floating and sinking...
