Long Mansion Part 2

"Are you planning to back out? Do you not have any confidence?" Qing Yue was afraid her husband would have a change of heart and purposely goaded him.

"Are you intentionally provoking me?" Long Tian narrowed his eyes.

"What if I am? What if I'm not? Are you going to back out?" She fearlessly held his dark gaze and challenged.

Long Tian felt surprised.

She easily admitted that she was provoking him? Did this mean she wasn't afraid of him?

"Hmph! The Longs don't back down from a challenge. Since I dared to make a bet, I dare to see it to the end." Besides, it wasn't like she had any chance of winning.

Fully confident in her defeat, Long Tian crossed his arms and smirked.

"Heh...you said it. You can't go back on your words."

Qing Yue was suddenly filled with an intense urge to recover quicker. She desperately wanted to slap the smug smile off her husband's face with her powerful voice.

In such a tranquil manner, a month went by.

The YueTian Group's new sale launch was a success. The entire LiLong Country's madams schemed and plotted to acquire their new products. The young ladies used their connections to access the private company site and pre-order next season's designs.

What was worth noting was the fact that the designs for the next season's sale launch hadn't even been decided yet. In fact, even the designer herself didn't know what the designs for next season's sale launch would be.

However, the reputation they had garnered in a short period of time spread to the entire country. Combined with their great quality of products, the customers felt no hesitation or fear in paying for orders that hadn't even come out yet.

The foreign companies that came to seek partnership were stunned by the exotic combination of classic and modern taste of the designs. Even before the Great War engulfed the world, they hadn't seen such designs in other parts of the continent.

As such, a contract was immediately drafted and a fifty-fifty percent partnership was signed on the scene.

Another matter that took the country by surprise was the marriage announcement of the Great Commander's only son, Long Tian, and the Great Money-sage's only daughter, the disfigured cripple Li Qing Yue.

"Why did Commander Long marry his daughter to the ugly Li Mistress? Is he short of marriage candidates? If he is, I'm more than willing to step in and save his life."

"Say, can she even perform the deed with him? Or is he planning on doing it himself while she lay like a corpse?"

"Maybe he has a hidden illness that can't be mentioned in public. Otherwise, why would he be willing to marry an ugly cripple?"

The TeleSecs published all sorts of articles and news, making the topic of the handsome Young Master Long marrying the ugly cripple Young Mistress Li one of the hottest and trending topics on the web.

In a matter of moments, from the beautiful Young Mistress of Li Industries, Li Qing Yue transformed into the ugly cripple of Li Industries.

At this moment, in front of Long Medical Hospital, a crowd of Long Tian fans and Li Qing Yue haters gathered with holograms of 'Divorce Li Qing Yue' glowing in neon red light.

"Long Tian, you can find a better life partner. Why would you marry a crippled and ugly woman? Is her that amazing?" In the midst of the crowd, stood a black-clothed woman with dark shades.

As she motionlessly stood staring at the hospital door, her short brown hair fluttered in her face and covered her vision, causing her to remove her shades.

The moment she brushed the strands aside and revealed her face, Lu Jin's vicious and resentful eyes were exposed.

"Long Tian, even I'm a hundred times better than that ugly cripple. Are you really going to remain married to her because of her clean background?"

Why?

Lu Jin couldn't understand why Long Tian aversed the idea of going out with a woman who was in a relationship before. In this time and age, which woman didn't have three or four boyfriends before graduating from Junior High?

But in order to trap him, Gu Yan gave her detailed information of Long Tian's likes and dislikes, including his distaste for women who'd been in a relationship before.

As such, she acted according to the information and presented herself as the type of woman Long Tian would like.

But that one incident shattered everything.

From wanting to marry her, Long Tian had gone to ignoring and completely blocking her off. And before she could even come to terms with the feelings she'd discovered, the news of his marriage to an ugly cripple reached her ears.

Aside from her outstanding background, the only other thing she learned about the ugly cripple was that she never had any male friends.

As the only son of the Great Commander, Long Tian didn't lack money or power, women or luxury. Moreover, even his father couldn't force him into doing something he didn't like.

Therefore, for him to willingly marry the disfigured cripple, Lu Jin could only attribute it to the girl's clean reputation.

But was a clean body so important to him that he would even marry a hideous woman? Was his taste so perverted?

"They're out! They're out!"

At this moment, the crowd erupted into a thunderous as the doors of Long Medical Hospital opened.

But the moment they saw the bandaged Li Qing Yue sitting in an automatic chair held by Long Tian, the deafening roar snuffed out as quickly as a candle before a gust of wind.

Lu Jin put her shades back on, covered her face with a black mask, and stepped out with a vicious glint in her eyes.

"Young Master Long, you are so handsome and outstanding, the perfect man for all the women in the country. So why did you marry an ugly cripple? Any woman would fall on her knees for the chance to marry you. Why are you destroying your life by making a cripple your wife? Is it because of her wealthy background? Or is it because she's never had a boyfriend?"

Long Tian was watching Qing Yue's automatic chair, worried the wheels would slide and roll away with the slightest carelessness when he heard the angry cry of a female reach his ears.

He froze as if turned into a statue.
