Chapter 2: Can't Even Recognize Her Own Man

Shen Nuo hurried upstairs, well aware of the strict security measures in the villa. It was impossible to leave through the main entrance.

She hesitated for a moment, then rushed to the window. Almost simultaneously, there came a sudden sound of footsteps echoing down the corridor.

Shen Nuo's heart clenched, every cell in her body on high alert. The sound of shoes tapping on the ground grew closer and closer, her heart pounding wildly, her mind buzzing.

Before long, the door to the room was opened.

With a clunk, Shen Nuo's body suddenly trembled.

Coming into her line of sight was a man dressed in a black suit, towering at over six feet tall, with a tall and slender physique that could be deemed perfect.

His features were handsome, with sharp angles, and his entire demeanor exuded a formidable aura.

In an instant, Shen Nuo felt an overwhelming sense of oppression. Meeting the man's gaze, she did so with a degree of caution. His eyes were too deep, almost like black holes, drawing her in.

"Who are you?" Shen Nuo spoke after a few seconds. As her words fell, she realized that her voice was trembling.

She had never seen Lu Xiusi before, but the oppressive atmosphere in the villa had scared her considerably. Everyone said Lu Xiusi was a man with crippled legs, so who exactly was this man?

Lu Xiusi spoke as his slender fingers landed on the buttons of his shirt, unbuttoning it and removing his suit jacket. "Just a few hours ago, you were arguing about marrying me. Now you can't even recognize your own man?" 

Finally, Lu Xiusi, with his long legs, stepped closer to Shen Nuo.

"Are you Lu Xiusi?" Shen Nuo's body was already leaning against the glass window, with no room to retreat. Her eyes were filled with shock as she looked at the man in front of her, unable to believe what she was seeing.

"But Lu Xiusi is not disabled," Shen Nuo was extremely shocked, shaking her head in disbelief. "This can't be possible."

"I thought you agreed just in the heat of the moment, but I didn't expect you actually wanted your man to be disabled," Lu Xiusi approached her, raising his hand and pressing it forcefully against the glass window, trapping her between the two panes.

"Or do you think that if I'm disabled, you won't need to accompany me in bed anymore?"

Listening to the man's words, Shen Nuo's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She had never even thought about the idea of sleeping together or not sleeping together. Moreover, what he said was true – she had agreed impulsively at the time.

"So, can you still change your mind now?" Shen Nuo took a deep breath, timidly looking at the man in front of her. He was too terrifying, and the aura he exuded filled her with waves of panic.

The next moment, Lu Xiusi's face darkened, extremely displeased. "It's too late. Do you think I, Lu Xiusi, am someone you can marry or not marry as you please?"

His voice turned cold as he spoke, then he suddenly lifted her up.

Shen Nuo's feet suddenly left the ground, and she let out a startled cry. She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, then watched as he strode towards the bed.

"Let go of me! Even if you're Lu Xiusi, you can't touch me! We're not married yet! And I..." Regret washed over Shen Nuo.

She forced the last three words back down her throat. Uttering them now could have serious consequences.

Lu Xiusi threw her onto the bed, causing Shen Nuo to feel like her insides were being jumbled up. Irritably, he tugged at his tie, unbuttoning his shirt to reveal his muscular physique.

"And? You've already agreed to marry me, Lu Xiusi. Is there something else?" Lu Xiusi's eyes darkened as he loomed over her. "Marrying me won't be a loss for you. If you want revenge on Lu Qingzhou and Shen Qing, I can help you."

In essence, they shared the same goal. This sudden marriage could be seen more as a partnership.

His scorching body pressed against hers, making her feel particularly uneasy.

"Marrying me won't be a loss for you. If you want revenge on Lu Qingzhou and Shen Qing, I can help you."

But, admittedly, his words carried considerable temptation for her. Yet, she remained hesitant.

A few seconds later, Shen Nuo hastily shook her head. "But I've changed my mind, I don't want to get married." She had to make it clear that she didn't want to marry. She couldn't let a moment of impulsiveness ruin her entire life.

"It's not up to you." She momentarily spaced out, then felt a chill spread over her body. Since she was taken away from the wedding venue, she had been wearing nothing but the wedding dress, with only pasties underneath.

Shen Nuo was startled, quickly grabbing Lü Xiusi's wrist to stop him. "You can't do this. If you touch me now, it's assault, and I'll sue you."

Hah!

Upon hearing her words, Lü Xiusi coldly chuckled. "Have you forgotten? You already agreed to marry me. You're my fiancée now," he said indifferently.

Shen Nuo was attractive, and dressed like this, she was even more alluring, stirring something in Lü Xiusi that rarely surfaced—interest in a woman. He rarely interacted with women, and one might even say he instinctively disliked them.

Because of Shen Nuo's relationship with Lu Qingzhou, he agreed to marry her.

But now, this woman had successfully piqued Lu Xiusi's interest. "You're the first to dare threaten me. And besides, the Shen family is also a prestigious clan. As the eldest daughter of the Shen family, aren't you aware of the position of the Lu family in this city?"

In this city, he was the law.

"Even if I'm aware, so what? You better stop now, or I won't let you off," Shen Nuo said, genuinely frightened, her hands pressed against Lu Xiusi's chest, her only thought being to escape as soon as possible.

Lu Xiusi's expression darkened, a dangerous aura enveloping Shen Nuo. "We'll get married tomorrow. I'll help you retrieve everything Lu Qingzhou and Shen Qing have attached to you."
