Newlyweds 1001 Nights: Mr. Bo’s Love Life

You have not even married yet, how can I grow old?

***

Pak

A man flung two documents onto the couch with a straight face.

A woman huddled quietly on the couch, exuding a beauteous aura while clad in a snowy white gown.

"Ouch… "

The two documents were not light and they woke her, the instant it hit her head.

She opened her eyes feebly and smiled when she saw his face. "Hey, Brother Mubai."

At the same time, she slowly sat up straight.

She then noticed that her slender legs were shackled to a long and thick chain that made it impossible for her to leave the room.

"Luo Zheng, this is the third day. If you still don't sign the papers, you'll starve to death here!"

Xi Mubai stared at her in disdain and spoke in an aloof manner.

Three days ago, the heiress of the Luo Family married Xi Mubai, the eldest son of the Xi Family. The two of them had an extravagant wedding which made her the subject of envy from every woman.

Unfortunately, on the night of their wedding, the police showed up at their door, claiming to have received a report of the Luo Family hiding drugs.

Soon afterwards, the police indeed found large boxes of drugs in the underground cellar of the Luo Family home and many members of the Luo Family were put behind bars.

Within just three short days, the Luo Family became bankrupt. They were charged with possession and trafficking of drugs. They plunged from heaven to hell, which came as a shock to many spectators.

However, no one knew that the person who made the report, was none other than Xi Mubai… no one knew that he was also the one who had used Luo Zheng to hide the drugs in the Luo Family home.

Ever since the Luo Family landed in hot soup, Luo Zheng had been locked inside the room by her newlywed husband who refused to let her eat or drink.

Xi Mubai would show up in the room everyday and ask her to sign the documents and when she refused, he would threaten to starve her to death, if she did not relent.

Luo Zheng threw a fit and broke into hysterics at the start. However, she finally saw the truth now.

She looked down at the two documents in front of her. One, was a divorce agreement and the other… a kidney donation agreement!

She grinned foolishly and said in a voice that had become hoarse because of her excessive crying. "Brother Mubai, you know that I'll never sign the documents! I did everything I could to marry you because I've been in love with you for ten years. How could I bear to divorce you? It's just starving to death. As long as I can continue being your wife and have your name carved on my tombstone, I… will die with no regrets!"

She then swung her ankles while the chains moved loudly, producing a deafening, metallic screech.

"Luo Zheng, you lunatic!"

Xi Mubai's face grew sullen because he did not expect her to be so stubborn.

Everyone said that Luo Zheng loved him as much as she did ten years ago.

However, Luo Zheng was just a silly, idiotic and man-crazy woman who knew nothing about love.

He initially thought that she was pampered and spoiled, and would definitely give in once her life was in danger. He was sure that she would succumb and sign the papers to donate a kidney!

In hindsight, he reckoned that she probably did genuinely love him… but the love she had for him, made him feel utterly disgusted!

"Lunatic? Hehe, yes! Brother Mubai, I am a lunatic who loves you… "

Luo Zheng did not deny it and instead admitted to it with a smile. Somehow, she managed to tug at Xi Mubai's heartstrings.

At this juncture, another female voice delicately sounded in the air. "Zheng, why do you have to pester Mubai so desperately? Not only are you making yourself seem cheap, you're putting Mubai in a spot too… "

Xi Mubai immediately turned around to welcome her. "Nianqing, you're in poor health and you're pregnant too. What are you doing here?"

Luo Zheng's smile stiffened and she stared at the woman's slightly raised tummy while watching XI Mubai show her concern.

"Who does the child belong to?"

She asked in a hoarse voice while her fingernails sunk into the flesh of her palm.

She refused to give up even after having guessed the answer. She insisted on getting to the bottom of the truth!

"Zheng, why don't you get it? You have to grant the wishes of your loved one, not possess them! Since you love Mubai, divorce him and grant him his wishes… "

"Mu Nianqing, I'm asking you, who does the child belong to!?!"

Luo Zheng ignored Mu Nianqing's advice and broke into hysterics.

Mu Nianqing was rather shocked. Xi Mubai held Mu Nianqing's hand and glared daggers at her. "Luo Zheng, stop acting crazy, the child is obviously mine!"

"Zheng, just agree to the divorce. As for the donation of the kidney… forget it! No matter what, we used to be sisters. How could I want your kidney… "

Mu Nianqing sighed softly.

"Nianqing, I know you're kind and you can't bear to be harsh to her but your kidney is failing and your life is in danger! The child and I can't do without you! She owes you so much. It's just donating a kidney, isn't it? She's not going to die anyway! It's actually an advantage for her."

Upon hearing their words, Luo Zheng's heart wrenched in pain and she glowered at them sternly.

She was like a crazy woman. She dashed towards them with resentment in her eyes and hollered, "Donate a kidney to her? Xi Mubai, dream on! I'll never sign the papers, let alone donate a kidney to her. Over my dead body! Mu Nianqing, I'm going to drag you to hell with me… "

"Ah! It hurts… "

Luo Zheng knocked into Mu Nianqing's abdomen, causing the latter to shriek in pain.

Pak~

Xi Mubai immediately slapped Luo Zheng without hesitation and warned, "Luo Zheng, I'm going to drag you down with me if anything were to happen to Nianqing and the child!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up Mu Nianqing and left.

Luo Zheng fell onto the ground and began bleeding from her lips. Due to the fact that she was shackled, she had no choice but to stare at them and watch them leave.

At the same time, Mu Nianqing turned around and stared at Luo Zheng with a condescending expression.

She mouthed, "Luo Zheng, you've lost."

"Ah!!!"

Luo Zheng screamed in agony and despair.

She watched as he left while pressing her fingers against the ground. "Xi Mubai, it's been ten years. I loved you for ten whole years! For the past ten years, have you ever… loved me, even if just a little bit?"

At last, she began begging and wailing in agony.

"No, not even a bit! Luo Zheng, you want me to love you? Over my dead body!"

Xi Mubai never once turned around and left cruelly instead.

The door was then closed and Luo Zheng was blocked from the outside world.

"Over your dead body? Haha… "

Luo Zheng burst into maniacal laughter as tears flowed down her eyes, making her look particularly pathetic.

At last, she could no longer support herself and ended up falling onto the cold, hard ground.

Her vision turned dark and she felt extremely weak because it had been a long time since she ate anything.

Am… I dying soon?

She did not expect to die all alone!

She looked out of the French window blankly, only to discover that snowflakes were falling.

It was the first snow of winter.

All of a sudden, the French window shattered into pieces.

Luo Zheng squinted and watched as a man broke through the window.

He was just like a king, staring down at her while advancing towards her. At last, he finally stopped beside her.

They looked at each other and Luo Zheng first held the gaze of a dark and deep pair of eyes, before scrutinizing his features in the dim light.

Luo Zheng was truly fascinated.

The handsome man was dressed in a black coat which accentuated his lankiness and he exuded a lofty and prestigious vibe that made him seem like he was on a pedestal.

"You… "

As soon as Luo Zheng spoke, he hovered above her, picked her up gently and lowered her down onto the couch.

He then got down on one knee like a pious follower, grabbed her ankle and placed it on his knee.

All of a sudden, he picked up the chains and stared at it coldly

He forcefully pulled them apart, breaking the chains, as if he were ruining a toy. Luo Zheng finally regained her freedom!

"Sorry Missy, for being late."
