She was tricked into marriage for three years, then remarried a childless, tough guy and became preg

Shen Tang looked at the man in front of her, who exuded a wild and untamed spirit.

He wore a Tibetan robe, with the right sleeve open, revealing his bronze arm. A turquoise stone hung from his earlobe. His skin was tanned to a dark reddish-brown, his eyebrows and eyes were deep-set, his nose was high and prominent, and his lips were sharp.

"Are you Tibetan?" Shen Tang asked.

"Yes, my family lives up there. We have our own pasture and hundreds of yaks," he patted his chest. "If you marry me, you won't have to do anything. You can just stay home and have babies." Langkabasan said loudly.

"Do you have any beef jerky at home?" Shen Tang asked again.

Langkabasan patted his chest. "Of course, there are plenty!"

Shen Tang's eyes lit up; rye beef was a good thing. Supplies were scarce in the disaster area, and the soldiers were eating compressed biscuits and canned food every day. If they could get a batch of rye beef jerky, it would not only improve their meals but also help them regain their strength. If they could take the rye beef jerky to Jiang Zhou and sell it, they could make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Shen Tang said to Langkabasan, "Could you take me to your house?"

Langkabasan burst into laughter, "That's straightforward! Let's go!"

Langkabasan pulled over a strong black horse and held out his hand to Shen Tang, "Get on!"

Shen Tang was holding his hand, but he gently lifted her onto the horse.

"Shen Tang, where are you going?" Zhao Wenjing ran over and asked.

"I'll go make something delicious!" Shen Tang said with a smile.

"Giddy up—" Langkabasan flicked his whip, and the horse galloped off towards the road above.

Langkabasan's home is deep in the grassland, a three-room stone house surrounded by a wooden fence.

In the distance are continuous snow-capped mountains, and nearby are herds of yaks grazing on the hillside.

"So beautiful!" Shen Tang couldn't help but exclaim.

"Come on, let's go inside!" Langkabasan put his arm around her shoulder and pushed open the door.

Shen Tang followed him into the house, which was covered with thick wool blankets, with several quilts piled in the corner, and a bow and arrow and a scimitar hanging on the wall.

Langkabasan opened the thermos and poured her a cup of milk tea. "Drink up! It's hot."

Shen Tang picked up the milk tea and smelled it. It had a pure milky aroma. She lowered her head and took a big gulp.

Langkabasan sat down next to her and watched her drink her milk tea.

Shen Tang felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, so she moved to the side and said:

"I wanted to talk to you about what the yak did, could I...?"

Langkabasan grabbed Shen Tang from behind and hugged her waist, his stubble-covered mouth close to hers.

"What are you doing?" Shen Tang was startled by his actions.

"What are you doing?" Langkabasan stared at her. "You came home with me, entered my house, and now you're asking me what I'm doing?"

Shen Tang took a deep breath. "You might have misunderstood. I'm here to talk to you—"

"What's there to talk about!" Langkabasan waved his hand dismissively. "If you enter my tent and I let you leave unharmed, everyone on the grassland will laugh at me for being incompetent."

Shen Tang felt a chill run down her spine. "Wait a minute, explain yourself clearly. When did I ever say I wanted to be with you?"

Langkabasan frowned at her. "You didn't say it, but you came with me. Here, when a woman goes home with a man, it means she's willing. Since you're willing, you're mine tonight. Don't worry, I'll give you the full dowry, and I'll definitely treat you well from now on, and I'll only sleep with you."

Shen Tang took two steps back. "I don't want to. I came to buy beef jerky from you!"

"Beef jerky?" Langkabasan was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. "I have plenty, you could eat it for several lifetimes and still not finish it."

He changed the subject abruptly, "But you have to let me get things done first."

As he spoke, he strode towards Shen Tang.

Shen Tang grabbed a wooden bowl from the side and threw it at him: "Don't come any closer!"

Langkabasan dodged in a flash, her brows furrowing. "What do you mean? Are you playing me for a fool?"

"I'm not kidding you, I just came to buy beef jerky!" Shen Tang took two more steps back, her back already pressed against the wall.

Langkabasan's face darkened, and the smile in his eyes vanished.

"You've come into my tent, but you don't want to sleep with me. If I just let you go like this, the whole grassland will laugh at me tomorrow."

He took a big step forward. "I have to sleep with you, otherwise how can I save face?"

"I said I didn't want to, but you still forced me to. That's illegal!" Shen Tang stared at him, raising her voice.

"This is the grassland, not your city. We don't have your rules here. When a woman comes home with a man, it's to sleep. Now that you're here, don't even think about backing out."

Shen Tang saw the curved knife on the wall, jumped onto the kang (a heated brick bed), took it down, and held it in his hand.

"Let me go! Otherwise, I won't be polite."

Langkabasang stood at the foot of the kang (a heated brick bed), looked her up and down, and laughed:

"Interesting. You're the most interesting woman I've ever met."

He stepped onto the kang (heated brick bed), exclaiming, "I love you just the way you are! Hahaha..."

Shen Tang held the curved knife horizontally in front of him: "If you take another step forward, I'll make my move."

Langkabasan laughed heartily, "Good, that's powerful!"

He stretched out his long arm and grabbed the blade, and Shen Tang was too scared to use force.

"What are you doing...?"

With a sudden burst of strength, Langkabasan caused the scimitar to slip from Shen Tang's hand.

He bent down and hoisted Shen Tang onto his shoulder.

With no one to hold onto, Shen Tang gripped his shoulders tightly.

"Put me down! I'm a soldier, you'd better think this through," Shen Tang warned.

Langkabasan didn't care at all, and instead laughed even louder: "Hahaha... I'm the boss here. I slept with you, so you're my wife."

He strode forward, watching Shen Tang walk towards the wool blanket.

Shen Tang was grabbed by the knees and thrown backward. Without any support, she hurriedly grabbed his clothes haphazardly. Looking down, she saw the leather belt around his waist. She reached out and grabbed it, but to her surprise, the belt came undone and slipped off Langkabasan's waist, falling onto the blanket.

Langkabasan stopped. He glanced down at the belt lying on the ground, then swung Shen Tang up and slammed her onto the wool blanket.

"You clearly like it a lot! You even ripped my belt, so why are you pretending you don't want to?"

Langkabasan's eyes gleamed, filled with a wolf-like aggression.

"I didn't!" Shen Tang hurriedly explained, her voice completely drowned out by laughter.

Langkabasan ripped off his shirt, revealing a dark, muscular chest. He had broad shoulders, a strong body, and large, defined muscles, making him even more robust than Huo Xiuyuan.

Shen Tang didn't even have a chance to struggle before he pinned her down. This man was much stronger than she had imagined; he completely enveloped her, and with a simple grip, he rendered her immobile.

"Don't be impulsive, we can talk. I have brought you a lot of money." Shen Tang tried to persuade him with something that interested him.

"I don't care," Langkabasan's large hand had already grabbed her collar. "I can't wait! Take off your clothes!"
