"Ouch!"

The young secretary clutched her chest, frowned coquettishly, and said in a slightly aggrieved tone, "Young Master Zhao, couldn't you be a little gentler..."

Zhao Kai ignored him, his fingers still roaming freely over the plump peach, his eyes growing increasingly sinister.

He gritted his teeth and spat out each harsh word: "Anyone who dares to touch Zhao Kai's men must not have been reincarnated yet. That ignorant fool, I'll make him kneel on the ground, begging for mercy while licking the soles of my shoes!"

Before he could finish speaking, his phone rang abruptly.

Zhao Kai glanced at the screen and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

He pressed the answer button, his voice as cold as ice: "Speak!"

"We've found out. That kid's name is Su Hao. He's just a country bumpkin who grew up in a remote mountain village. He has no family background or connections, but he knows a bit of martial arts. He caused trouble at the Li family's house today and even beat someone up." The voice on the other end of the phone carried a hint of contempt.

Zhao Kai sneered, "What martial arts skills? At most, he's learned a few farming tricks. I thought he had some great background, but he's just a brute. This kind of trash dares to show off in front of me. He really doesn't know what's good for him."

He immediately gave the order: "Tomorrow, take some men and break both his legs, spare his life. I want him to see with his own eyes what happens when he offends me, Zhao Kai."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Kai called his assistant again.

"Withdraw the orders from the Li Group and warn its partners to cut off their orders."

Seeing his outburst of anger, the young secretary soothed him, "Young Master Zhao, please calm down. That Su Hao guy must not know how powerful you are, that's why he dared to be so presumptuous. Once he sees your power, he'll be scared out of his wits."

Zhao Kai was somewhat pleased by her sweet words. He gently lifted the young secretary's chin with his fingertips, and his rough thumb rubbed back and forth on her soft lips, as if he were playing with a delicate toy.

"you're right."

He chuckled, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "Just a country bumpkin who's never seen the world. I can make him wish he were dead with a flick of my finger."

The young secretary's fair cheeks flushed, but she showed no sign of resistance. Instead, she moved closer like a docile kitten.

"Young Master Zhao, you are the best! Those arrogant fools aren't even worthy of carrying your shoes..."

"Oh?" Zhao Kai narrowed his eyes, a lewd smile curving his lips.

"Then tell me, how amazing am I?"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly grabbed the young secretary's slender wrist and pulled her into his arms with a sudden force.

The young secretary stumbled onto the sofa without warning. Before she could even cry out, Zhao Kai had already pounced on her and pinned her down.

She gasped softly, her voice trembling with a mixture of reluctance and acceptance.

"Young Master Zhao, please be gentle..."

……

Su Hao and Li Qiuchan strolled along the street for a long time, buying all kinds of daily necessities. It wasn't until dusk that they carried their bags back to the Li family's old house.

After dinner, Wang Xiuqin thoughtfully tidied up the guest room for Su Hao.

Li Qiuchan dragged her tired body up to the second-floor bedroom and collapsed onto the soft bed without any regard for her image. Her mind replayed the series of absurd experiences she had had that day.

Zhao Kai persisted, her fiancé calling her "wife" repeatedly, and slapped her so hard she was completely disoriented.

Her grandfather was critically ill, and her heartless relatives divided up her inheritance. Her fiancé shielded her from all the malice and even used his miraculous medical skills to bring her grandfather back to life, despite being sentenced to death.

While shopping for new clothes, her cousin Li Li deliberately approached her to mock and provoke her. Her fiancé pointed out her hidden weakness with a single sentence, and without making a sound, he made Li Li flee in embarrassment in front of everyone.

In the end, she didn't know what got into her, but she actually let this man she had only known for a day stay at her house.

"Ahhh... Li Qiuchan, what's wrong with you...?"

Li Qiuchan buried her face in the pillow and let out a muffled wail.

She is the cold-faced CEO of the Li Group, always acting rationally and with restraint. She is extremely guarded and never allows any strange male to enter her private residence, let alone stay overnight.

What she found even more unbelievable was that she didn't actually dislike Su Hao.

Why is that?

Li Qiuchan turned over, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and began to think seriously.

Perhaps it's because my grandfather has been in the business world for decades, seen countless people, and never made a mistake in judging people?

Or perhaps it's because Su Hao always stands in front of her in crucial moments, protecting her from the wind and rain?

"Don't be afraid of your wife, with me here, no one can bully you."

Just thinking about how Su Hao had protected her so fiercely made Li Qiuchan's cheeks feel inexplicably hot.

"Pah, pah, pah, what am I thinking!"

She quickly shook her head to banish these chaotic thoughts.

The two had only known each other for a day, and their marriage agreement was an old one from decades ago; their talk of love was too vague and unrealistic.

Li Qiuchan sighed softly and decided to let things take their course. There was no need to deliberately reject Su Hao. She would just be going along with her grandfather's wishes and giving the old man an explanation. She would make other plans after they spent more time together.

After figuring all this out, she took out a set of silk pajamas, turned around, and walked into the private bathroom.

As the warm water was poured down, Li Qiuchan's tension and fatigue gradually subsided, and her whole body relaxed.

Just as she closed her eyes to relax, a sudden, tearing pain shot through her lower abdomen, and a chilling sensation spread throughout her body along her meridians.

"hiss……"

Li Qiuchan's expression changed drastically.

Damn it, how could she forget? Today is the second day of her period, and she always suffers excruciating pain at this time.

Large beads of cold sweat slid down her forehead. Li Qiuchan gritted her teeth and tried to stand up by supporting herself against the wall, but another spasmodic pain struck her, and her vision went black. She almost fell to the ground.

"what……"

An uncontrollable cry of pain escaped her throat.

Meanwhile, in the guest room downstairs, Su Hao had just finished packing his luggage and was preparing to lie down and rest.

His ear twitched slightly, keenly catching the strange noise coming from the second floor.

Although the sound was very soft, with his years of honed hearing, he could hear even an ant crawling across the floor clearly.

"Is your wife having an affair?"

Without saying a word, Su Hao pushed open the door and rushed up the stairs.

When I arrived at the bedroom door, it was ajar and the light was on inside.

He pushed open the door, and the first thing he saw was a few sexy clothes scattered on the bed, obviously Li Qiuchan had just changed out of and hadn't had time to put them away yet.

Su Hao paused briefly, but quickly turned his attention to the frosted glass door of the bathroom.

Amidst the misty air, through the blurred glass, one could vaguely see a figure huddled on the ground.

"Wife?" Su Hao walked quickly to the bathroom door and knocked.

"What's wrong with you?"

There was no response from inside, only suppressed breathing and the sound of flowing water.

Without further hesitation, Su Hao pushed open the bathroom door.

The heat hit him, and through the misty fog, he saw Li Qiuchan curled up naked on the floor tiles, soaked to the bone, her face as pale as paper, her bangs sticking to her face with sweat, and she was shivering.

In that instant, Su Hao's gaze inevitably swept over her graceful curves.

Water droplets slid down smooth skin, tracing a breathtaking arc.

He swallowed hard, suppressed his distracting thoughts, and quickly stepped forward and squatted down.

"Wife, wake up!"

Li Qiuchan vaguely heard someone calling her name. She barely opened her eyes and saw a man's face right in front of her.

She paused for a second, then realized her current state.

Completely naked and soaking wet.

And she appeared in an extremely disheveled state before a man she had only known for less than a day...

"what!"

Li Qiuchan instinctively screamed and tried to cover her body, but another sharp pain in her lower abdomen made her too weak to even lift her hand. She could only glare at Su Hao with a mixture of shame and anger.

"You...who let you in! Get out! Get out now!"
