The Devil Who Devoured Snow White Chapter 7

Both the brothers turned her way, startled when they heard her response.
Mengmeng realized the words that unconsciously came out of her mouth, she covered her lips with her hand and blushed embarrassedly. What has suddenly gotten into her?
Bai Zichen was about to say something but was interrupted when the old man came back, "huh? Why are you all still standing here?"
"Ah, I was just trying to know more about my sister-in-law, grandpa." The older brother glanced at Mengmeng which made her unconsciously shrink back at the sudden goosebumps she felt. She moved a bit to the side just to hide a bit behind her husband.
The old man didn't seem to notice the sudden change in the bride since he was not looking at her. "You can do that later. We should head to the restaurant I reserved. You all must be starving."
"I would like to join but sadly, I have a business meeting to attend, I am a busy man after all," said the older brother. He turned to the bride and grinned, "I'll see you next time, sis. I look forward to knowing you better."
Ugh. It would be better if she never saw him again.
…
After having dinner, they were dropped off at a luxury hotel that Bai Keran prepared for the newlywed couple. It was the place where he wanted them to spend the wedding night. It was weird to have the old man prepare everything but not a word of complaint was heard from either of the two.
The only pajamas Mengmeng saw in the room that was prepared for her was a beautiful see-through nightdress. She had to quickly hide it earlier from her husband out of embarrassment. She locked herself in the bathroom.
"Ugh... is this even considered a dress?" She mumbled to herself while staring at the clothing, her face in its darkest shade of red.

It was a wedding night... Newly wedded couples normally... have sex so it was only normal to wear something like this just to set the mood, right?
She was aware of her beauty; she has an appearance of gentle intelligence. No one could stand above her in beauty, at least that was what she thought. She hasn't met someone prettier than her. She was so confident enough to the point she sounded narcissistic.
Mengmeng stared at her own reflection, her long ebony black hair falling softly around her waist and framing her perfect heart-shaped face, the contrast making her skin seem as pale as the moon. Snow White. Their features were perfectly matched. She would always catch the eyes of the men in the room. She never failed to notice how the male servants would steal glances at her as she walked into a room but for that same reason, the female servants considered her a vixen.
Strangely enough, she wasn't able to captivate Bai Jingye. If she wore such a seductive nightdress, would he finally want her? The only possible reason for him not to was either he preferred men or he already has someone he loves but either way, he was now her husband and Mengmeng was going to make him fall for her.
She went out of the bathroom and saw the man who was now her husband, sitting at the side of the bed. His attention was not bestowed to her since he seemed to be distracted by the document he was holding.
How should she address him? She has never seen him for the past few days. He was probably avoiding her but… he won't be able to resist her now.
She carefully approached him and stood in front of him. She was feeling embarrassed with the dress she was wearing but it was the only nightwear that was prepared for her.

As if finally noticing her presence, Bai Jingye slowly raised his head to look at her only to be caught off-guard by how close she was standing to him. The intoxicating scent coming from her entered his nostrils which slowly reached his brain.
"U-um… there were no other clothes…" She stammered as she covered her chest shyly with her arms. "I-I'm sorry…"
Sorry? What was she sorry for? For wearing such an alluring dress?
"B-Bai Jingye…?"
He was snapped out from his trance when he heard her melodic voice say his name. He knitted his brows together into a deep frown the moment he realized what just happened. He squinted at her through hardened eyes. Every muscle on his face was tense.
The sudden change in the atmosphere made Mengmeng flinch. She suddenly felt suffocated by the pressure in the room. This was not the kind of atmosphere she was looking forward to. She unconsciously backed off. What was he suddenly so angry about?
The man in front of her stood up, his voice ice-cold as he said, "Sign this." He reached out the document to her.
Sign?
She turned to the document he was reaching forward to her.
"Don't just look at it."
Once again, she flinched at the tone of his voice which made her unconsciously accept the file in a rush. Her restless eyes fell on the paper and the moment she read a word in it; she shot her head back at him in disbelief. "Divorce?!"
How can he ask her for divorce when they just got married?!
