The grand living room on the first floor.
Lin Bin was regaling his family with exaggerated tales, his spittle flying, boasting about their heroic deeds tonight and the thousand new subordinates he had just recruited.
A sudden gunshot.
The entire Lin family jumped up.
Looking up, countless wood chips exploded from the direction of Lin Qingzhu's bedroom on the third floor, a smell of gunpowder began to spread, inexplicably exuding a sense of tension.
"Holy crap, are they playing this big?"
Lin Bin's thoughts were always uniquely his own.
"Let's go up and see."
Patriarch Lin Dong immediately gave the order.
Lin Feng and Lin Bin, Sun Fengzhi and Jiang Chunmei, the four of them rushed upstairs and saw a large hole in Lin Qingzhu's door, looking rather horrifying.
Bang!
Lin Bin kicked the door to pieces.
In the bedroom, Lin Qingzhu held a gun, a smiling expression on her face. Ye Zixiao lay on the ground, motionless, seemingly dead, but there was no blood?
"Brother-in-law, you can't die!"
Lin Bin rushed over and knelt down, wailing, "Brother-in-law, our lives were just starting to get better, you can't just disappear like this. If you die, what about my sister? Who would dare marry her!"
"Lin Qingzhu, you're looking for death!"
Lin Qingzhu raised her gun and aimed it at her own brother.
"Qingzhu, don't mess around."
"God, what is this?"
"Put the gun down quickly."
The others also panicked, unsure if Ye Zixiao was alive or dead. They also didn't know why Lin Qingzhu had fired. Seeing her aim at her brother, their mother was terrified.
"Damn it, this isn't fun!"
Ye Zixiao suddenly stood up.
"Holy crap, he's come back from the dead!"
Lin Bin yelped and jumped back.
One liked to act, the other played along. Lin Qingzhu rolled her eyes. Only Lin Feng and Sun Fengzhi would believe that Lin Qingzhu had actually shot Ye Zixiao!
"Ye Zixiao, this is just a warning. If you dare to lay a hand on me again, I'll definitely shoot you dead next time. Damn it, you damn scoundrel."
Lin Qingzhu, blushing, scolded him.
"That's enough. Divorce."
Ye Zixiao walked away, grumbling.
"Sis, you're too much!"
Lin Bin followed him like a sycophant.
"Sigh!!!"
"Let's go too!"
Lin Feng and his wife also went downstairs.
"Qingzhu, put away the gun."
Their mother stayed behind, earnestly persuading, "You and Xiao Ye will eventually be husband and wife. There's no need to make things so difficult. Xiao Ye is so good, handsome and capable."
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
Lin Qingzhu's face remained cold.
"You are all adults. Between husband and wife, it's just a piece of paper. I know you have a cold personality, but Xiao Ye is young and full of vigor. You should help him vent his passion appropriately!"
"I'm moving out!"
Lin Qingzhu, carrying her gun, went downstairs.
"Where are you going?"
Lin Dong on the first floor asked calmly.
"None of your business."
"Disgraceful."
Lin Dong, uncharacteristically, blamed his daughter, saying, "Lin Bin is right. Besides Xiao Ye, who else would marry you? You should let him taste some sweetness. It's not a big deal to get on the bus before buying the ticket!"
"The whole family has been won over!"
Lin Qingzhu slammed the door and left in a huff.
Her face turned red the moment she left the house. Did she hate Ye Zixiao? She didn't hate him! Did she like Ye Zixiao? She couldn't say! In short, her feelings for Ye Zixiao were very strange.
She always felt he was too unreal!
Alright, even if she was going to marry him sooner or later, she couldn't just let him take liberties with her. Ye Zixiao was truly like a hooligan. If she let him do as he pleased, she couldn't even imagine the consequences.
But.
What was wrong with this whole family?
It had only been a few days!
How had they all been won over by Ye Zixiao?
Lin Qingzhu called her two bodyguards and walked towards the parking lot. Seeing that her Bentley was already started, she didn't think much of it, opened the rear door, and got in.
The engine roared to life.
The Bentley took off with squealing tires...
"Oh my God!"
Lin Qingzhu was startled.
"Don't move, you've been kidnapped!"
The driver said without looking back.
As the Bentley sped out of the yard, two bodyguards hired from Xiuluomen rushed out of the house. They looked at each other as they watched the taillights disappear and then went back inside.
...
North Sea City Military Garrison Area.
Outside the guardhouse of the Commander's Headquarters.
An expensive SUV was stopped by two guards. The driver was a well-mannered young man. He rolled down the window and politely said, "Hello, I need to see Commander Chu."
"You want to see the Commander?"
One of the guards looked a bit confused.
Just then, a military vehicle drove up and stopped alongside the luxurious SUV. An officer in the back seat turned his head and exclaimed, "Oh my, the Crown Prince is back!"
...
A suburb of North Sea City.
On a quiet street.
The Lin family's Bentley had not turned off its engine, but it was shaking by the roadside. Vehicles passing by occasionally slowed down, wanting to sneak a peek at what was happening inside the car.
"Damn it, I'll kill you."
In the back seat of the Bentley, Lin Qingzhu was pinned down by Ye Zixiao. Her large pistol had already been thrown into the front seat, meaning Lin Qingzhu was completely under Ye Zixiao's control.
"Damn it, you dared to shoot at me?"
Ye Zixiao chuckled as he pinched Lin Qingzhu's face.
"I'll kill you."
Lin Qingzhu was still struggling.
"How many times have I told you, you're my wife. What's wrong with messing around with your own wife? Damn it, you dare to point a gun at me? If a woman doesn't listen, she needs to be disciplined!"
Saying that.
Ye Zixiao raised his hand and struck.
Three slaps on Lin Qingzhu's backside stunned her as she struggled and cursed. She had never been treated like this by a man in her life!
"Say it, do you submit?"
Ye Zixiao truly acted like a hooligan now.
"What exactly do you want?"
Lin Qingzhu was starting to get scared.
"What do I want? What do you think?"
Ye Zixiao reached out to unbutton her clothes.
"I submit, I submit, don't mess around."
Lin Qingzhu's pretty face turned red, and she no longer dared to speak defiantly. She understood Ye Zixiao well enough now. If he went mad, he might really do it to her right here.
"Say you were wrong."
"I, I was wrong!"
"Call me husband."
"You're dreaming, you bastard."
"Then call me daddy!"
"Get lost—"
Lin Qingzhu was about to go crazy. She instinctively pushed Ye Zixiao with her hand again, but to her surprise, Ye Zixiao, who was about to succeed, actually moved away!
"Ugh!"
Lin Qingzhu was dumbfounded again.
"The legendary Bamboo Leaf Green, I admit you have some looks, and I do feel a bit for you, but don't be so conceited. You haven't reached the level where I'd force myself."
"You, what do you mean?"
"I'm just telling you to be polite to me from now on. I'll be your man sooner or later, and I'll get you sooner or later. If you dare to point a gun at me again, I'll still hit you."
"......!"
Lin Qingzhu didn't know what to say.
She was unwilling, but she didn't dare to provoke him.
Ye Zixiao actually hit her!
Five minutes later, Lin Qingzhu, having tidied her clothes, sat side-by-side with Ye Zixiao in the back seat. Ye Zixiao was smoking, and Lin Qingzhu looked out the car window, suddenly feeling a sense of loss.
"Let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow, okay?"
Ye Zixiao suddenly made this suggestion.
"Okay, ah, no!"
Lin Qingzhu was startled and turned to look at Ye Zixiao, saying, "You need to think carefully. Once we get the certificate, it becomes a fact. You'll really become the live-in son-in-law of our Lin family."
"Damn, I don't care. I'm just following my father's orders. If you don't want to bother with me in the future, I'll stay away from you. I, this young master, don't lack women."
Ye Zixiao became indecent again.
Lin Qingzhu suddenly felt even more lost!
After a minute of silence, Lin Qingzhu spoke again, "We can get the certificate, but I don't have time tomorrow. I have important work to handle during the day. Tomorrow night, I have a class reunion."
"Class reunion?"
"Yes. I heard I'm getting married, and some of my good classmates insisted on getting together. Oh, right, you have to go tomorrow too. They mainly want to see you."
"I'm not going."
"Why?"
"It's boring."
Ye Zixiao flicked away the cigarette butt and said listlessly, "It's all written in those 'cool' novels. Class reunions are just for showing off. I don't want to be ridiculed, and besides, I get angry and like to kill people, which isn't good for you either."
"My 'cool' novel is different!"
Lin Qingzhu actually smiled sheepishly.
