Chapter 6

‘What? Negotiating with me? I do think it’s a kind of threatening!’

“Hey! He Jingyan, you cannot pick on me just because I’m still a young boy. I…”

“Yeah, you are absolutely a young boy.”

He Jingyan interrupted and looked him up and down before Xu Yangyi had finished his words.

Xu Yangyi felt a little bit of gross and afraid with no reason.

‘What does it mean? Why does he look at me like that? Shit! There must be something wrong with this stubborn man. He just completely ignores what I said.’

Suddenly, Xu Yangyi looked at him with suspicion, “Are you actually a gay?”

‘Hell no! How unlucky I am to happen to marry a gay?’

Xu Yangyi felt desperate and hopeless instantly, regretting getting involved in this marriage.

‘A gay?’ Now He Jingyan thought his wife kind of cute!

“Do I look like a gay? Besides, is there anything wrong for me to flirt with my own wife?”

Xu Yangyi got quite furious and said, “I’m not your wife! Are you deaf? Don’t you hear what I just said?”

‘I do expect to kick this guy out of the earth! What a dumbass! No, no, no. Xu Yangyi, you’ve gotta calm down and stay cool. Killing him will put myself into jail, and it might also get dad into trouble, so you’ve gotta grit your teeth to suppress your anger!’

Xu Yangyi warned himself to control his temper in his heart, but at the same time, he couldn’t help going nuts upon seeing the sly grin on He Jingyan’s face. However, He Jingyan unhurriedly said, “Honey, do you forget that you have the wedding ring on your finger? You can’t turn your back on me after having accepted my love token.”

It reminded Xu Yangyi of the ring he was wearing. “I’ll take it off and return to you! Are you happy now?” ‘I couldn’t care less anyway.’

“Sounds good!” He Jingyan abruptly loosened his grip and looked at him with a smile, but somehow, Xu Yangyi felt kind of scary.

He Jingyan continued, “But if you do so, your sister, your father and you all have to go into jail! After all, my family is sensitive about our reputation.”

He Jingyan’s smile was amiable, but at the moment, it made Xu Yangyi even more hopeless. ‘This man is indeed a jerk. All he knows it to threaten others. However, he is right. If this thing is brought to light, it’s way embarrassing for the He Family, so they won’t allow it to happen. But, I can’t really marry this guy! It’s ridiculous!’

“I’ll give you time to carefully consider it, and I can wait for your answer anyway. However, I have to let you know in advance that my old man is way grumpy, so there’s nothing I can do to save your family if he knows the truth.”

Knowing that Xu Yangyi was certainly thinking over the solutions in his mind, He Jingyan deliberately exaggerated the severity of the situation as the most irreversible one.

“Have you ever thought that your family would be even angrier if they found out my real identity in the future?” ‘Then what’s the difference between now and then? It’s just a matter of time.’

“How can it make no difference? As long as you are my wife, then it’s my obligation to keep you and your family safe. I’ll take care of the following issues.”

What could be read on He Jingyan’s expression is: I would try my best to get it settled if you were wife, or it was all on you if you refused.”

‘This man is obviously taking advantages of my weakness! What a despicable man! However, if I don’t agree, then my sister and dad are certainly doomed.’

At the thought of the despairing cry of Xu Nuannuan and Xu Jing in prison, Xu Yangyi put on a sullen look. ‘If they were put into jail, they would definitely end up dead.’

Xu Yangyi was in a dilemma – on the one hand, he wanted to keep his family safe; on the other hand, he was worried about his future life. It was a hard choice for him, but he couldn’t have it both ways, so he had to make his decision.

‘It seems that this young guy is on the edge of giving up! There is no need for me to further push him.’ Without any words but a grin on the face, He Jingyan was enjoying in the drastic changes of Xu Yangyi’s expressions, from frown to anger. It appeared that it didn’t bother him at all even though he knew that he married a man as his wife.

“Ah…” Xu Yangyi, having failed to find a way out, was screaming with his head in his arms and then discontentedly glared at the man who had been gloating aside.

‘This man… deserves to get his teeth kicked in.’

However at this moment, Xu Yangyi’s eyes flashed with cunning, and he thought, ‘No one says that I can’t run away halfway, right? I’m so brilliant.’

With the thought of it, Xu Yangyi calmed down without any worries, proudly smiling, “Deal!”

‘Anyway, the best way for now is to win some time as much as I can, and I can discuss the escape plan with my dad later. I thought that everything had been screwed up, but actually it turns out to be an opportunity! Lucky me!’

Xu Yangyi was cheerful and confident. However, the cruel reality would give him a blow, and there was no way for him to run away.
