From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

Early in the morning, Feng Qianyi woke up in the master bedroom.

She raised her hand and pressed it against her lower abdomen. After a few seconds, the pain that had occurred every month for the past ten years did not return.

Feng Qianyi sat up and lifted the blanket to check her clothes.

His shirt was buttoned up neatly, his pajama bottoms were also worn properly, and there were no extra marks on his body.

Her last memory last night was of Lu Yunzhou relieving her pain.

She later fell asleep, and Lu Yunzhou took her back to the master bedroom. She didn't know where he went.

There was a glass of warm water on the bedside table, with a piece of paper pressed down at the bottom.

There was only one sentence on the paper.

"Come downstairs for breakfast when you wake up."

Feng Qianyi stared at the line of words for a moment, then picked up her water glass and took a sip.

The warm water flowed down my throat, and I felt no discomfort.

She walked to the mirror, raised her hand to tidy her long hair, and the fatigue on her face had faded.

The chronic illness that had plagued her for ten years was finally suppressed by Lu Yunzhou.

This time, she was much less wary of that man.

As Feng Qianyi came downstairs, she heard the sound of spatulas clattering in the kitchen.

Lu Yunzhou, wearing an apron with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, was putting the fried eggs into a plate.

The vegetables in the pot were a bit soft, and the edges of the eggs were burnt. There were two bowls of hot porridge and a few pieces of bread that were not baked very evenly on the table.

He glanced back at the stairs, and paused, his spatula in his hand.

"Eat when you wake up."

Feng Qianyi walked to the dining table, her gaze sweeping over the plate of eggs, and her brows twitched slightly.

"You can cook?"

Lu Yunzhou put the last piece of bread on a plate, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

"All it does is fill your stomach."

Feng Qianyi didn't reply, but picked up the spoon and tasted the porridge.

The flavor was mild, and the cooking time was just right.

She picked up another half egg; it was a bit too salty, but still edible.

Lu Yunzhou stared at her movements, waited a few seconds, and then asked, "Is it bad?"

Feng Qianyi swallowed the egg and looked up at him.

"It's edible."

These two words put Lu Yunzhou at ease, and he lowered his head to pick up his bowl.

Feng Qianyi watched him eat with his head down, and the words he had promised last night echoed in her ears again.

The man followed the rules and did not make any demands while she was in pain.

She picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth, her tone more relaxed than usual.

"Thank you for last night."

Lu Yunzhou did not look up.

"It's only right to charge for treating patients. You don't need to thank me."

Feng Qianyi stopped picking up the food and then put the piece of green vegetable into her mouth.

She didn't speak again, but her brows relaxed.

The doorbell rang not long after the two finished breakfast.

One press after another, fast and heavy.

Lu Yunzhou put down his water glass, got up and walked to the entrance.

Feng Qianyi followed, still holding the tissue she had just used to wipe her face.

There was no response from outside the door, but the sound of metal scraping against the door lock could be heard.

A few seconds later, the combination lock panel was pried open, and the door was pushed against the wall.

A woman stepped into the living room.

She had long, light blonde hair and distinct mixed-race features. Her black short jacket clung to her shoulders and back, and her long boots pattered firmly on the floor with each step.

She was carrying a small leather bag, and her gaze first fell on Feng Qianyi, then swept over Lu Yunzhou.

His gaze was scrutinizing, and also carried undisguised contempt.

Lu Yunzhou stood in front of Feng Qianyi, his gaze lingering on her wrists and shoulders.

This woman has martial arts training.

Her muscles and bones were strong and solid, her breathing was steady, and her internal energy flowed along her limbs, following the external martial arts path.

Judging from his aura alone, he has at least an eighth-grade cultivation level.

The woman ignored Lu Yunzhou's scrutiny and spoke directly to Feng Qianyi.

"When did you get a bodyguard?"

Feng Qianyi dried her hands, turned around, and took Lu Yunzhou's arm.

"His name is Lu Yunzhou, and he is my legal husband."

The woman stopped in her tracks, her handbag crumpled from her grip.

"husband?"

Feng Qianyi raised her chin, her tone clear.

"We have obtained our marriage certificate, and all the paperwork is in order."

Lilith stared at their intertwined hands, her face darkening.

She took a few steps closer, her gaze sweeping over Lu Yunzhou, a mocking tone in her voice.

"Feng Qianyi, you chose this kind of person?"

Lu Yunzhou looked up at her, his face expressionless.

Lilith continued, "A bodyguard who makes a living with his fists, who doesn't even own any property. Why should he stand by your side?"

Feng Qianyi tightened her arms, directly blocking her view.

Who I choose is none of your business.

Lilith's chest heaved as she brought up the old story again.

"Have you forgotten Bai Jingchuan? Back in Kyoto, you promised him that you would marry him when he returned. The Bai family has waited for you for so many years, and Young Master Xiao has done so much for you. And you just turn around and throw away your promise?"

The living room was quiet for a few seconds.

Feng Qianyi picked up the water glass on the table, drank the remaining half glass of water, and then put the glass back.

"I made some promises to him back then, and I've already made things clear. Marriage is my own decision, and no one has the right to arrange it for me."

Lilith gritted her teeth.

"Bai Jingchuan is the young master of the Bai family in Kyoto. He has connections, money, and the means to make you regret it. You really think you can escape this by marrying a bodyguard and getting a marriage certificate?"

Feng Qianyi's fingers rested on Lu Yunzhou's sleeve, her voice remaining unchanged.

"I will not marry Bai Jingchuan, nor will I rely on marriage to gain resources. I will certainly not be locked in a cage arranged by anyone and become an obedient woman."

Lilith's gaze hardened.

"You will pay the price for saying that."

Feng Qianyi raised her hand and pointed to the door.

"Get out now."

Lilith didn't move; instead, she reached out and grabbed Feng Qianyi's wrist.

Her movements were swift, imbued with the power of an external martial artist.

Before his hand could even touch Feng Qianyi, it was grabbed by Lu Yunzhou.

Lilith's wrist dipped, and her body stopped.

Lu Yunzhou stood between the two of them, his five fingers gripping her wrist, his tone indifferent.

"Did you ask me before you laid a hand on my wife?"

She looked up at Lu Yunzhou, a murderous aura emanating from her face.

"open."

Lu Yunzhou didn't answer, he just glanced at her shoulders and back.

He possesses a strong inner energy and has a solid foundation in external martial arts techniques.

If this woman goes all out, it will be difficult for an ordinary eighth-rank martial artist to gain the upper hand.

Feng Qianyi reached out and touched Lu Yunzhou's arm.

"Let her go."

Lu Yunzhou then let go.

Lilith took a half step back, and a clear red mark was already left on her wrist.

She glanced down, her face growing even uglier.

Lu Yunzhou stood beside Feng Qianyi, his voice lowered.

"This is my home. If you try to force your way in again, I won't just hold your hand."

Lilith clenched her fists, wanting to lash out, but then she looked at Feng Qianyi and forced herself to suppress her anger.

"I'm here today just to inform you. Young Master Xiao will soon find out about your marriage."

Feng Qianyi turned around and walked back to the dining table, without even glancing at her again.

"Then let him know."

Lilith stood at the door, stared at Feng Qianyi for a few seconds, then turned and walked out of the villa.
