  Xiao Ying went to find Tang En on her own accord.

  She was dejected. Even after arriving at the castle, she did not say anything to Tang En. It was as if something heavy was pressing on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

  Tang En did not force her to register their marriage immediately. Instead, he got someone to observe Long Ming’s movements.

  After chasing Xiao Ying away, Long Ming started to enter the theater frequently. The media had even taken photos of him hugging Little Spring Flower’s shoulders, but they were taken down before long.

  Tang En showed the photos to Xiao Ying. When she saw it, she did not have much of an expression. Her face was ashen, as if she had accepted reality.

  “There’s no point in showing me these anymore. Before I made the bet with you, I was indeed full of confidence. After all, I once made him turn his hatred for me into love, but I ignored time and experience. Many things cannot be repeated. I almost died when I went to Long Di to get confidential information for him. It was also that time that he changed his opinion of me.”


  “Now that Long Di is locked up, he doesn’t need my help. Even if I die in front of him, he will think that I deserve it!”


  “You’re very good at manipulating people’s mentality. That’s why you allowed me to approach him so confidently. I admit that I lost. I lost terribly!”


  Tang En sat by the bed and wrapped his arm around Xiao Ying’s thin shoulders. “Let’s be a family in the future.”


  Xiao Ying shook Tang En’s hand off and turned her face away, not looking at him. “Although I promised you, I won’t be able to act like nothing happened for some time. Tang En, we can’t go back to how we were before.”


  Tang En naturally knew that he could not go back to the past, but as long as she was willing to stay by his side, he would be satisfied.

  “I’ve already chosen an auspicious day. We’ll go register our marriage in a week. After registering our marriage and we consummate our marriage, I’ll send bodyguards to bring Wan Bao over.Then, our family of three will be reunited.”


  Xiao Ying closed her eyes, her lips moving. She wanted to say something, but she said nothing in the end.

  She looked like a puppet, letting him do whatever he wanted.

  Tang En stared at Xiao Ying for a while before turning to leave.

  This week, Tang En had people secretly monitor Long Ming’s every move while observing Xiao Ying.

  Long Ming seemed to have fallen for Little Spring Flower and would look for her whenever he had time.

  According to Tang En’s report, although Long Ming went to look for Little Spring Flower, he was with Little Spring Flower only to get drunk. He would still call Xiao Ying’s name when he was drunk.

  He hated her to the core, but he loved her as much as his life!

  …


  A week later, it was time for Tang En and Xiao Ying to register their marriage.

  Tang En had prepared a wedding dress for Xiao Ying a few days ago. Although they were not having a wedding, he wanted her to wear the wedding dress to register their marriage.

  Staring at the wedding dress on the bed, Xiao Ying had mixed feelings.

  In the end, she gave in and wore the wedding dress.

  Xiao Ying came out of her room and went downstairs.

  Tang En was already waiting in the living room. When he saw Xiao Ying coming down from upstairs, his eyes were filled with amazement.

  “Sister, I knew you would look beautiful in a wedding dress.”


  Xiao Ying pursed her lips but said nothing.

  Tang En held her hand and got into the car.

  Along the way, Xiao Ying was silent, while Tang En was in high spirits.

  He had planned this for so many years and now, he could finally live the life he wanted.

  The humiliation, torture, and abuse from before had all become a thing of the past.

  It was fine if she did not like him for the time being. He would still be good to her and to Wan Bao.

  Perhaps after some time, they would be able to return to the past.

  Tang En smiled warmly.

  …


  Before they registered their marriage, Tang En had already made arrangements.

  Therefore, their registration went very smoothly.

  After getting the documents, Tang En looked at Xiao Ying. “The first time, our marriage certificate was fake. But this time, it’s real. From now on, you’ll be my wife.”


  Xiao Ying looked at Tang En. “In my heart, I will always be Mrs Long.”


  Tang En’s expression changed. “Sister, don’t make me angry.”


  There was no expression in Xiao Ying’s eyes. She only said calmly, “I’ve already done as you asked. When do you plan to give me the antidote for Wan Bao?”


  Tang En stared at Xiao Ying’s beautiful face and his eyes darkened. “You only got your marriage certificate. I don’t think you need me to remind you what else you need to do!”


  Xiao Ying realized what he meant and her pupils constricted.

  …


  That night.

  Xiao Ying sat on the bed, her fingers pressed against her palms, her expression cold and tense.

  After they got their marriage certificate, Tang En had headed out to settle some matters. Before he went out, he had told her to wait for him in the room.

  At around ten, Xiao Ying heard the door being pushed open.

  She looked up and saw Tang En coming in.

  He gazed at Xiao Ying, who was sitting by the bed. She was wearing a long white dress, her expression plain and her eyelashes lowered. Under the soft light, she looked indescribably beautiful and moving.

  Tang En’s gaze on her darkened.

  He walked up to her, his long fingers lifting her face up.

  “Sister, don’t worry. I’ll bring Wan Bao over after tonight.” He approached her.

  Xiao Ying said nothing and did not push him away.

  However, as he got closer, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with her. Beads of sweat covered her forehead, her face was slightly pale and her breathing was slightly hurried.

  “What’s wrong?”


  Xiao Ying’s long eyelashes fluttered. “My period is here and my stomach feels uncomfortable.”


  Hearing this, Tang En frowned.

  “Your period shouldn’t be here today.”


  Xiao Ying pursed her lips, looking a little weak. “Don’t you know that when a woman’s nerves are tensed, insomnia can also cause endocrine dysfunction?”


  Tang En frowned and looked at Xiao Ying.

  He got a doctor to take Xiao Ying’s pulse and confirmed that she was indeed unwell, so he didn’t say anything.

  Tang En remembered the day her period came and knew that she was in great pain every time.

  He went downstairs to get a hot water bag and a cup of brown sugar water.

  Seeing his actions, Xiao Ying’s emotions surged.

  …


  As they lay on the bed, Tang En turned off the lights. In the darkness, he stared at the back of her head. “Now that we’re legally married, we will have plenty of time in the future.”


  Xiao Ying did not refute him. “I know. From the moment I admitted defeat, I already accepted my fate. Senior, I’ve already registered my marriage with you. Where else can I run to? I just want you to give Wan Bao the antidote and wake her up on account of how she brought you warmth before.”


  Tang En was silent for a long time.

  There was dead silence in the air.

  After a while, Tang En hummed. “I’ll arrange for people to bring Wan Bao over as soon as possible.”


  For Tang En, he no longer wished for love. He only wanted to grasp the warmth in his life.

  Xiao Ying and Wan Bao were the sunshine and warmth of his life.

  As long as Xiao Ying stayed by his side obediently, he would not let anything happen to Wan Bao.
