Chapter 3. You Have Offended Me_1

Mu Qianxun forced a bitter smile, wasn't this the time when he should be uttering words of gratitude?

She glared at him!

"You're returning kindness with enmity!"

He laughed, the corners of his mouth curving upward teasingly. He held her tightly in his arms, shaking his head lightly, his smile utterly irritating!

"How can you consider this returning kindness with enmity? You know, how many women in the Imperial City long to marry into the Ou Family? I've reigned over the Imperial City for twenty-two years, and the number of women that adore me could circle the city ten times. Among them all, I've chosen you to be Lady Ou. That's a great honor, isn't it?"

She was choking with anger.

He wasn't wrong. Back when she was in Yun City, she had heard about the renowned Ou Family. Of course, that was simply in passing.

It's like when you often see movie stars on TV, while they're popular and adored, their world has no intersection with yours.

She had heard about the influence of the Ou Family but had never experienced it herself. Now, she had gotten a taste of it.

A simple phone call from them could jam the entire city's phone lines; a cab ride could get halted on the highway.

Just these two incidents alone were enough to make her, an ordinary citizen, feel scared out of her wits.

She sighed heavily, looking at him with a furrowed brow, "What are you trying to do? Like you said, the girls who fancy you and want to marry you could paralyze the whole Imperial City. You could easily choose any one of them to get engaged with, they'd surely be grateful. Why the hell do you need to go after me, when you know that I don't want this!"

He blinked, looking the picture of innocence.

"It's precisely because you don't want this that I chose you! Ever since I became an adult, I've had girls clamoring to marry me. Every woman I meet practically drools over me. They all seem willing to strip naked just to be spoiled by me. You, on the other hand, disdain me. I refuse to believe I can't win you over!"

Her lips twitched, and she felt all her strength draining away.

Could a normal person speak such words?

"You want to get engaged to me because I don't like you?"

"You've aroused my desire to conquer."

Ou Zun had never come across a woman who wasn't attracted to him before.

Moreover, Mu Qianxun is incredibly stubborn. There was a resilience about her that annoys Ou Zun; he was determined to make her submit!

Mu Qianxun glanced heavenward in a speechless manner.

So, men just love to be rejected, there are so many women that liked him and he refused them. Mu Qianxun did not like him and he wanted to trap her by his side.

If that's not a mental disorder, what is?

Mu Qianxun realized that this can't go on indefinitely - from Ou Zun's attitude, he seemed unlikely to back down.

Finally, she looked up at him, "Ou Zun, please give me back my phone. I won't run anymore. I just want to call my mom."

Ou Zun raised an eyebrow. Seeing her surrender gave him an immense sense of accomplishment, even if it was such a small thing.

"Remember, you said this yourself. If you run away once again and anger me, you will not be able to handle the consequences!"

"I get it, I promised not to run, so I won't run."

Like a magician pulling out a rabbit, Ou Zun pulled out a white phone that was identical to his black one, "Do you understand what to say and what not to say over the phone? Or do you need me to teach you?"

She glared at him fiercely.

Does he think she's an idiot?

Was she to phone her mother to tell her that she was trapped in the Imperial City and that Ou Zun was forcing her to get engaged to him?
