You're Marrying Me out of Your Own Will, Aren't You? 1
“Miss Tong, we will be spending the night as husband and wife for the first time tonight at eight. It'll be at the Imperial Hotel. Do not be late!”
“Noted.”
Tong Lu was punctual. At eight, she lay on the bed in the presidential suite and stared at the ceiling. There was an overwhelming sense of bitterness in her chest.
She knew very little about the husband that she would be spending the night with. But he was capable of giving her a betrothal gift of five million RMB, and she urgently needed to pay for her maternal grandmother's surgery. Her grandmother was gravely ill. She had no other choice.
Suddenly, the door was opened. Countless footsteps that had been ringing out came to a stop at the doorway. The men had respectful expressions on their faces as they welcomed someone. They did not dare to step into the room at all.
Soon after that, a tall silhouette stopped before the doorway.
Tong Lu stared at him in disbelief. She had never seen a man with such a dignified and domineering aura. There was an air about him that made people who saw him unsure of whether he was a good or evil man. It was as if he could be the king of hell and the God of the sun at the same time. He was dangerous and powerful, and there was a cold and majestic glint in his eyes. It was as if all beings in the world had to fall to their knees and worship him.
“Is she the one who answered my advertisement in which I claimed I was looking for a woman to marry?”
“Yes, young master. Her name is Tong Lu. But are you sure that you want to marry her? Do you want to give it more thought?”
“I don't have time to give it more thought!” The man flashed a mocking smile and waved in dismissal. He had made his decision. “Forget about it. All of you can leave now!”
Internally, the loyal bodyguard was indignant. He wondered what this woman had done in her past life to deserve such a man.
This was a tremendously horrible feeling. According to the information she had read, he was a university professor who was suffering from terminal cancer. As he was worried that no one would take care of his young daughter, he put up an advertisement that said he was looking for a woman to marry.
But the man who was pinning her down was extremely aggressive. This was especially true when she stared into his jet-black orbs, which were dignified and cold. It was as if he could see through everything. He was so dignified and domineering. Was he really gravely ill? He did not seem so at all.
“Can… can we switch off the lights?” The moment the man got on top of her, she was so frightened that she trembled.
“Why? You dare to marry me, but you don't dare to look me in the eye? Are you asking me to switch off the lights because you're intending to pretend that I'm some other man?” The man's voice was deep and domineering, and there was a hint of mockery in it. He sounded like a typical chauvinist, and she trembled when she heard his voice even though it was not cold.
“I'm… I'm just… not used to this…”
Tong Lu tightened her grip on the sheets, and she could not help but recall the promise she had made to Shi Yang a year ago. “Shi Yang, wait for me. I'll definitely get into Yale so that I can run into your embrace.” But now…
“You're marrying me out of your own will, aren't you?” He seemed to be able to see right through her, and into her mind. At some point, his gaze had become murderous. His almond-shaped eyes were sharp and profound, and there was not a single hint of warmth in his smile.
“Answer my question!”
Tong Lu's heart skipped a beat. What should she say? She had no other choice, as she had to obtain money for her maternal grandmother's treatment as soon as possible. She only chose him because according to the information provided, he was only looking for a woman to take care of his child. She could become single again at any moment. This was the best choice.
But now, she had become unsure.
“Are you really dying?”
“Yes! I'm dying.” His voice was deep, which was typical of a powerful man. He said with certainty, “But I've already written a will. After I die, you must take care of Shanshan. You're not allowed to marry another man for the rest of your life. If you dare to treat Shanshan badly, I'll never forgive you!”
“What? I'm not allowed to marry another man for the rest of my life?”
He bit her earlobe and said mockingly, “Are you regretting your decision now?”
She said nothing.
“It's too late!” He sounded gentle and cruel at the same time. “Tong Lu, you'll spend the rest of your life taking good care of my family members. Don't even think about playing any tricks! I'm not asking for much, and you'll be receiving a generous reward! Remember what I have said, or else… trust me that you wouldn't even want to hear about what will happen if you go against me!”
