Night, Li residence in S City.
"Young Mistress, tonight is your wedding night with the Young Master. It would be best if you rested early."
"Butler Zhou, I..."
Before Lu Wanwan could finish speaking, the door was hastily shut by Butler Zhou.
Left with no other choice, she turned around. Before she could assess the situation, a cup of water hurled towards her, followed by a blunt and simple command, "Get out!"
Lu Wanwan instinctively dodged to the side, only to find out that the cup missed.
As she lifted her gaze, a remarkably handsome man sat leaning against the head of the bed, his face surging with an aura of severity while glaring at her direction.
This was her newly wedded husband, the man her grandfather had picked out for her when she was young—Li Jingchen.
Their marriage was due to a verbal agreement made by their grandfathers when they were young. Eventually, the Li family started to become successful during Li's father's generation. The business expanded, establishing an empire. After her father had been denied multiple times, he stopped talking about the engagement.
Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Li's grandfather suddenly visited and had a private conversation with her father in his study. There, they confirmed her wedding date with Li Jingchen.
This sort of "good fortune" seemed unlikely to befall her.
Two years ago, Li Jingchen was involved in a car accident. His life was saved, but he lost his sight.
The woman who was supposed to step into marriage with him abandoned him. The unmarried young heiresses feared his vicious reputation and were unwilling to marry him.
Rumor had it, Li Jingchen was a man who crippled his younger brother's leg in a dispute over corporate interests and framed his own father into prison.
Not to mention that he is now blind and has lost control over the Li family's business empire. Marrying him - what would be the purpose?
Her father, who values loyalty and sentiment more than anything else, simply sold her out. How ironic.
But who could blame him? After all, he had two daughters. Lu Wanwan thought to herself mockingly.
From the other side, Li Jingchen, not hearing her opened the door irritated him even more. "You are told to get out. Are you deaf?"
Lu Wanwan turned and tried the door handle, pointing out, "The door is locked from the outside. I can't get out."
"..."
Seeing that he was about to throw something at her, Lu Wanwan quickly defended, "Young Master Li, if you were to hurt me, there would be no one to look after you."
Li Jingchen grunted disgustedly, "I don't need a woman like you to care for me!"
"Really?" Lu Wanwan glanced at the area under his bed, where a plate of food had been knocked over and left ignored. "Then what about the mess under your bed? Are you waiting for the maid to clean it tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Li Jingchen's handsome face instantly clouded.
Lu Wanwan couldn't help but remember the aloof attitude of steward Zhou just now, coupled with the violent and ruthless character of Li Jingchen that rumor holds, he is now blind and powerless, probably even the servants dare to ignore him.
All these were not supposed to matter to Lu Wanwan, but thinking of the deal she had made with her father before marrying, she had no choice but to offer, "I will do it."
However, Li Jingchen was far from pleased, "I told you I don't need your help!"
Lu Wanwan blinked, "Young Master Li, to be honest I don't want to either, it's just this food has gone bad, and I don't want to be kept awake by the smell."
Li Jingchen sneered sarcastically, oblivious to her meaning, "Already thinking about sleeping? You have no shame!"
Lu Wanwan rubbed her temples, "You're overthinking Young Master Li, I have absolutely no ulterior motives towards you, even if we sleep, it will be in our own beds."
Seeing his disbelief, she added, "How about this, if I even touch you slightly, you can smash me with something. Does that sound fair?"
Li Jingchen remained silent. His face was as cold as ever, projecting intense caution and defensiveness.
Seeing this made Lu Wanwan think, he must have lost all sense of security from the moment he went blind, that's why he hates being close to people, right?
