Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The general reached out his arms to circle the girl’s soft and lovely body. Within a few seconds, he managed to wriggle her out of the bathrobe with his hands.
She was wearing a little pyjamas dress with straps, and her face flushed even hotter the instant she caught him looking at her.
It was not just shyness that she felt, she was more ill-at-ease than anything else.
Since young, she had never tried being in the same bed with a man when she was wide awake.
He repeated what he had verbalized earlier, word by word. “I’m bringing you back to our family home tomorrow.”
Her head was still swimming in a daze.

Speculations and uneasiness swept over her.
He had kept their marriage low profile and even the elders in the Zhan household might not know about this yet.
If they had known earlier, they would have asked to meet her.
Furthermore…
Everyone knew that Jiang Li was Zhan Qiyou’s girlfriend. As Jiang Li’s sister and now, with the added status of wife to Zhan Qiyou’s uncle, she wondered if the elders would make things awkward for her with her complex relationships.
As her brain was busy buzzing with all the doubts and concerns, the man was already hugging her to sleep on the bed, face to face.
She gave a feeble push on his shoulder. “You… Can you go back to your own bed?”
With a face void of expression, he told her in a serious tone. “Are you still insisting on sleeping apart when we’re preparing to sleep over at our family house tomorrow? Yes?”
She was rendered speechless without a word of rebuttal for once…
With a sinking tone, he ordered, “Close your eyes and go to sleep. We can talk tomorrow if needed.”
However, her big, dark eyes refused to close and continued to sparkle.
Pinching her waist, he teased her, “If you don’t want to sleep, I’ve no choice but to administer our house rules. Are you ready?”
She wrinkled her nose.
Honestly, the main thought that was occupying her mind was not about resisting him from sleeping with her on the same bed…
Instead…
After staring wide-eyed at him hesitatingly for some time, she muttered, “Uncle Zhan, does your grandparents… the Eminent General and Matriarch, know about our marriage?”
He was stunned for a while before replying nonchalantly, “They’ll find out tomorrow.”
Her heart sank.
True enough, they don’t know yet…
She retracted her body and continued softly, “Perhaps I shouldn’t go back with you. They won’t like me, and definitely won’t accept me… My reputation is terrible, after all, and we’ve such a huge age gap. Uncle Zhan, since our marriage is a secret marriage, let’s keep it that way…”
He was silent after she finished talking.
She reckoned that he was considering her suggestion.
Although she suspected that Zhan Muqian married her with an ulterior motive, bringing her back to the family home would only spell trouble for him.
For one thing, he would need to explain their complicated relationship before the elders…
And it was obvious that he was a man who disliked troubles.
While she was engrossed in her own thoughts, she suddenly felt a light pinch on her waist and it startled her.
His words rang clearly and distinctly in the darkness. “You have married Zhan Muqian, not the Zhan family. Besides, everyone has to respect you as my wife. With me around to protect you, what are you worried about?” He told her in a firm tone.
“You… you’ll protect me?”
Her eyes were full of doubts and unease.
Looking impatient, his big palm pinched her hips lightly again.
“If I don’t know how to protect you, then why did I marry you?”
Her head swirled when she heard that.
Just as she was still feeling disquieted..
The man spoke again. “No one can bully my wife. From now on, not only do you have your hubby to dote on you, your parents-in-law will protect you too. Jiang Mianmian, as Mrs. General, you can be more ostentatious now than ever before. Isn’t it better for you?”
