The bathroom door creaked. Jiang Niansheng quickly hid the knife under the pillow and pretended nothing had happened.
Sheng Hanye walked over. He wore a towel around his waist, and water dripped down his chest. His hair hung down his forehead. He looked relaxed.
Jiang Nianshang lay down with her back to him. She reached under the pillow and waited for the perfect timing!
The man didn’t seem to notice anything. He lay down beside her and turned off the desk lamp.
The bedroom was pitch-black.
After a while, Jiang Niansheng heard Sheng Hanye’s breathing become even. She slowly grasped the hilt of the knife.
All she had to do now was turn over and stab. Everything would be over!
Jiang Niansheng slowly pulled the knife out from under the pillow. The blade of the knife shone sharply in the darkness.
“Mrs. Sheng,” a low and hoarse voice sounded above her head. “What are you holding in your hand? Hmm?”
Jiang Niansheng was shocked. She looked up and met his teasing and deep eyes.
“It’s… it’s nothing.” She stammered as she shoved the knife back. “Why are you still awake?”
“You’re waiting for me to fall asleep so you can ambush me?”
Jiang Niansheng bit her lower lip. ‘Sheng Hanye had discovered my plot! In that case, I’ll have to fight it out!’
Jiang Niansheng made a swift decision. She grabbed the hilt and jumped up from the bed. She aimed the knife right at Sheng Hanye’s heart!
Sheng Hanye dodged and grabbed her wrist, turning it forcefully!
With a crack, the bone was dislocated!
At the same time, his body leaned forward, and he pressed down on Jiang Niansheng. He pinned her to the bed and trapped her under his body!
Jiang Niansheng dislocated her wrist, and the knife slipped and fell to the floor. She was done!
“What were you doing?” Sheng Hanye pinched her chin. “Are you trying to kill me?”
Jiang Niansheng looked at him. “Of course you would know it! Your bodyguards will tell you everything! Why would they listen to me and hide the incident from you?”
“I don’t even need the bodyguards to tell me anything.” The man replied, “Do you think Wei Lian and the butler are all dumb?”
Then it hit Jiang Niansheng. Wei Lian must have spotted her when she went to Sheng Shi Group. She took the knife from the kitchen so the butler would have noticed it missing.
“Since you knew everything, why did you wait until the last moment to expose me?” Jiang Niansheng gritted her teeth. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll end up killing you?”
Sheng Hanye chuckled. “Jiang Niansheng, you overestimate yourself.”
“Fine, you win. Sheng Hanye, I will accept any punishment.”
“You are Mrs. Sheng, one I have finely selected. Why would I punish you?”
“Sheng Hanye,” Jiang Niansheng’s eyes turned red, “You married me to humiliate me? If I never found out you were the one behind the Jiang family’s bankruptcy, I would continue to obey your every word blithely. Does it feel that good to play me like a fool, you sick bastard?”
Seeing the effort she put in to hold back her tears. He uttered, “I never thought to play you like a fool.”
“But you were the one who caused the Jiang Family’s downfall! Why didn’t you admit it when I asked you? Is it because of guilt?”
“Guilt?” Sheng Hanye’s lips curled up cruelly. “I merely couldn’t remember it.”
Jiang Niansheng felt like her heart was cut by thousand knives. He had said it so casually, but behind it was her family’s destruction!
“Do you know how many things I have to deal with every day?” His tone was ruthless. “Why would I waste my time to remember a puny Jiang family?”
“So you remember it now? You’re willing to admit it?”
“Yes.” Sheng Hanye wiped away her tears. “I did it.”
Jiang Niansheng shouted hoarsely, “Sheng… Hanye, why don’t you just kill me?” Her tears fell, and Sheng Hanye patiently wiped them away for her.
“Why would I do that?” He whispered into her ears. “You’re still my Mrs. Sheng for the next two years.”
Jiang Niansheng was pinned under him. She could not move her limbs, so she bit down hard on his shoulder. Her sharp teeth pierced through the thin silk pajamas and pierced into Sheng Hanye’s flesh. Blood slowly dyed the cloth red. However, he did not make a sound, as if he could not feel the pain at all.
“Bite me if you want, Jiang Niansheng.” Sheng Hanye said, “But you are not getting away from me.”
“Sheng Hanye, if you don’t kill me, aren’t you afraid that I’ll try to ambush you every night?”
“You won’t.” His breath tickled her ear. “After all, your family is not all dead. You still have your brother Jiang Yangchen, right?”
Jiang Niansheng could not help but tremble.
Sheng Hanye was threatening her!
She could sacrifice her own life, but her brother… She had to protect him.
“So be good,” Sheng Hanye ordered, “Mrs. Sheng.”
“I hate you, Sheng Hanye.”
“It’s fine for you to hate me, just don’t fall in love with me.”
As he got up, Jiang Niansheng found her freedom and tried to kick him. Sheng Hanye grabbed her ankle. “You are good enough to protect yourself, but you’re never going to harm me. So save your energy.”
Jiang Niansheng bit her lips as the man walked away. There was a coppery taste in her mouth. Their blood had mixed.
…
When Sheng Hanye got downstairs, the butler saw the blood on his shoulder. His face was pale. “Master Sheng, I’ll call the ambulance now!”
“Don’t need to make a big fuss. Just call Si Cang.”
Si Cang was once again called over in the middle of the night. “I say, CEO Sheng, ever you got married, I have become so much busier. Why is that?”
Sheng Hanye sat on the sofa and took off his pajamas. In front of him was the medic kit. He was dressing the wound himself.
Si Cang was about to take over when Sheng Hanye said, “She’s in the master bedroom. Her hand is dislocated. Go and fix it.”
“Your lovely wife?”
“Yes.”
“What were you two doing?” Si Cang said, “One is bleeding, and the other has a dislocated wrist. CEO Sheng, I know you just got married, but you need to watch the bottom line…”
Sheng Hanye shot daggers at the doctor. Si Cang immediately shut up and obediently went upstairs. Honestly, he was curious about Sheng Hanye’s new wife. He could finally meet her in person.
Jiang Niansheng leaned against the bed and looked at the dislocated hand with an expressionless face.
Si Cang politely knocked on the door. “Mrs. Sheng, I’m coming in.”
“Who are you?”
Jiang Niansheng saw a handsome man walk in. He had an air of righteousness.
He had tapered fingers and a ready smile. He was very gentle and harmless.
“I’m Si Cang, Sheng Hanye’s personal doctor. He asked me to come to look at your wrist.”
Jiang Niansheng sneered. “He’s that charitable?”
“He is not that considerate to others but you’re different. You’re his little…”
Si Cang walked to the side of the bed. The moment he saw Jiang Niansheng’s face, the medicine box in his hand fell. He had seen a ghost!
“Doctor, am I that scary?” Jiang Niansheng frowned. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Are, are you a person or….”
