chapter 1

“where are you going”

Yin Hua walked cautiously downstairs, her movements hesitant. As she turned the corner, she collided with her mother, Mrs. Yan Qing.

Yin Hua immediately straightened her posture, forcing a smile. "Well, it's the wedding night, you know. I was feeling a bit nervous, so I came down to get a glass of water."

She laughed awkwardly and tried to slip away, yet was quickly grasped by the back of her neck-as if she were a kitty.

"I'm downstairs, playing mahjong with your in-laws tonight, protecting you two. If either of you dares run away, I will withdraw your allowance!" Mrs. Yan released her hand and uttered coldly, "Back upstairs. To your bridal room!"

So ruthless!

That was why Lu Liuguang went out earlier and returned within such a short period; he must have been sent back, too.

That lousy man didn't even warn her!

Angry, Yin Hua stomped back into the bedroom. The sound of water flowed from the bathroom.

Infuriated, she could only be so angry.

As the heiress of the family, life was good and pampering; the only thing she could not decide on was her marriage.

Her parents loved her so much, but they had still managed to pair her with Lu Liuguang. Arrogant, sharp-tongued, narcissistic, and inconsiderate-he had always gone against her since childhood, always stealing her things. She was a beautiful, exquisite flower planted into a pile of cow dung, something she could not accept!

She decided to set some ground rules with Lu Liuguang. He was not allowed to touch her. If he dared to, she would kick him in the crotch!

When the sound of water stopped, Yin Hua's eyes shifted to the sofa at the foot of the bed. It was small, short, and too close to the bed. If Lu Liuguang slept there, it wouldn't be safe for her. She wanted him to sleep on the sofa outside.

Lu Liuguang, wrapped in a towel, emerged from the bathroom, his well-defined abs on full display. He raised an eyebrow playfully. "Sexy, huh? Do you like it? Call me 'hubby' and I'll let you touch."

Yin Hua wasn't surprised to see him still there; she had already known he wouldn't leave. Had her parents and in-laws approved of this marriage? Who else in this city would dare marry her besides Lu Liuguang?

He had a temper, was highly competitive, and stubborn. She was like the princess and the pea, always pouting and on the verge of tears over the smallest inconveniences, with everyone around her scrambling to make things right.

“Pfft! It’s just abs. I’ve seen better,” Yin Hua scoffed, though her eyes lingered on his abs.

Honestly, she had to admit that Lu Liuguang's muscles weren't bad. He didn't just have abs; he had chest muscles! Oh my…

The man had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. The white towel hung at his waist, subtly showing his V-shaped lines, his skin tanned and healthy, oozing with raw masculinity.

Yin Hua teased him. She let one of her fingers gently hook the edge of her sleepwear, revealing her soft shoulder as she smiled enticingly, "Am I beautiful? Call me 'ancestor ' and I'll let you touch."

Lu Liuguang immediately dropped to his knees beside the bed with exaggerated reverence. "Ancestorr!!!"

Yin Hua froze, completely thrown off by his ridiculous act.

Lu Liuguang sat beside her, his devilishly handsome face dangerously close. "The Yin family is known for its integrity, and now you're part of it, too. You wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"

"I… I…" Anxiously, Yin Hua's mind was racing inside her head. "Lu Liuguang, stop flattering me. I'm not going to inherit the main branch of the Yin family; I am your wife already, so of course I will learn from the Lu family! Just… don't touch me! I won't let you—"

It was a misunderstanding!Yin Hua's eyes widened.

"Go ahead and touch. I'm way more generous than you are," Lu Liuguang said, pressing both her hands onto his body-one on his chest, one on his abs-playing at being a gracious host.

"Don't I know you? You're just pretending. You like it, don't you? You won't admit it. Your husband, Lu Liuguang, is the richest man in the capital, handsome, young, and rich. Look at my body! I'm letting you touch me. You should be grateful, but here you are, still rejecting me!"

Yin Hua rolled her eyes dramatically. "Haha, are you blind? You think you're handsome? I'm beautiful too! I'm the top socialite in the capital! Men who want to marry me line up from here to the North Pole!"

"Penguins?"

"Even penguins are better than you!"

Lu Liuguang gritted his teeth. "Yin Hua—

Her slender wrist was tightly clutched by Lu Liuguang, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free. She could only do whatever she wanted with him.

Generous, huh? He wants her to touch? Well, she pinched him! She grasped him!

His muscles were so hard!

Putting all her strength into it, it didn't even leave a mark.

Defeated!

She almost wanted to bite him!

Lu Liuguang, clearly enjoying it, smiled mischievously. "Hua Hua, aren't you still hungry tonight? Use a little more strength—give your husband a good scratch."

Her nails were so pretty, freshly done with wedding-themed designs and diamonds sparkling on them.

Lu Liuguang was in heaven—being pinched and touched by her soft, fragrant little hands. He was thoroughly enjoying it, but now, Yin Hua was fixated on her nails.

She wouldn't touch him anymore!

Hua Hua was so stingy! It was their wedding night, and she wouldn't even give him a little affection?

He married her, but he wasn't just here to play the part of a philosopher with her.

Lu Liuguang moved closer to Yin Hua's white, delicate ear, his warm breath brushing against it. "Wife, which position do you prefer?"
