Wei pulled Lihua along the way, and she stared at the mansion wide-eyed. Her mouth was wide open as she noticed the grandeur and luxury of the Jiang villa. The long corridors stretched like a snake as if she could see no end to it. The mansion consisted of floors akin to a seven-star hotel.

As they entered the room, Lihua stood frozen on her spot, shell-shocked. He craned her neck and looked left and right until it began to hurt. She lifted her gaze to look at her tall and handsome husband. "Is this ONE room?"

Wei said, "Yes."

Like hell! This looks like five luxurious flats combined together! How big can a single room be?

The room was so blinding that she felt as if she would go blind. The main highlight of the room was the huge master bed. Curtains fluttered in the front that were tied to a pole. It looked so fluffy and bouncy that she had an urge to jump on it.

And she did.

She ran and climbed on top of the bed. Her feet felt light as she hopped up and down.

"This bed is so soft!" She laughed. "Seriously, what cotton did they use while making this?"

Wei's gaze transfixed at her in a sweet stupor. He walked up to her and caught her hand. His doting voice whispered, "Be careful or you will fall."

She giggled. "I am fine. I will not-"

As if she jinxed herself, her footing slipped and she gasped as she fell.

"Lixue!"

Wei was about to catch her, but instead she pulled his hand hard for support and they both tumbled on the bed with him atop her.

Lihua's tightly shut eyes slowly fluttered open a few seconds later. She peeked above and a shudder ran through her spine, seeing her husband's toned and sexy body pinned upon her. A gulp passed down her throat as his slightly half bare chest came in her view. His Godly handsome face zoomed in and his sharp features took her breath away.

Their gazes locked onto each other in silence. Their warm breaths mingled as their hearts thumped in their chests.

For Lihua, who had lost all her memories and her love for him, couldn't help but fall even deeper for him. It was hardly a few hours since she learned about their relationship. Technically, she should spend time with him as new lovers do when they just start dating - slowly and steadily getting to know each other and building trust and love along the way.

But ever since she woke up, she only got more and more attracted to him as if a dangerous force pulled her towards him like a magnet. His black irises sucked her soul. His voice laced with warmth and gentleness and his fingers that would softly pat her head with a smile on his lips made her unable to act reserved.

T-too sexy for my heart!

Her gaze settled on his thin and inviting lips. Her heart raced even faster than a bullet train.

I wonder... since we are married, we must have k-kissed before right? Wait! Have we s-slept together as well?

Her cheeks blushed crimson at that thought.

But I have lost my memory. I don't know anything about us. Even if we are married, my memory loss is a big wall between us. Can I really act wifey like?

She lamented. She really wanted to kiss him, but considering their circumstances and how she didn't know much about her husband, it seemed inappropriate to take that step right away.

Ugh. I need to speed up my process so that we can quickly get lovey-dovey.

She was broken out of her stupor as she felt his long fingers cupping her cheek. Surprised, she looked up at him. His penetrating gaze boring into hers made her tremble.

"Lixue…"

At that proximity, his deep voice rang in her ears. She looked away, feeling shy.

"Why did you agree with Old Madam?"

She glanced at him and found that he seemed a little vexed.

"I don't care about anybody's approval," he anxiously said, "but you agreed to leave me if you failed. I will never divorce you no matter what happens. Why...Why did you make such a promise?"

The expression on his face resembled a sad dog whose master left him alone. She could even see imaginary dog ears, drooping into sadness. It tugged her heartstrings and a dull ache enveloped her chest.

"As long as I am beside you, nobody will say a word to you. I will not let anyone bully you. You don't have to worry about such stuff."

"Why not? After all, they are your family members aren't they?"

He furrowed his brows. "So?"

She was surprised by his reaction. "Don't people usually care about their opinion too?"

"I don't," he plainly said. His eyes didn't show much emotion.

It was the first time she saw that somebody didn't care about his family. She found it strange by his extreme detachment towards his family.

She smiled. "I know you are there for me, but I thought about it and felt that I don't want to hide behind you forever. I don't want you to protect me everytime and bear all the grudges."

He pursed his lips.

"Plus, they are not completely wrong. Assistant Fu told me everything about the engagement confusion."

Wei guiltily looked away, which she found too adorable.

"If they chose Shi Ruomei for you, it's natural for them not to accept me right away. They like her. So, I need to show them I am the right choice too. You didn't make any mistake. They need time to adjust to this sudden decision. Your threat to leave the house was unfair as well."

"But the promise…"

She giggled. "Don't worry. I won't fail. I don't think that all members of your family are like your Grandma, stubborn and unyielding. I will definitely win their favor."

"My wife doesn't need to curry anybody's favor," he said seriously.

"It's not anybody's. It's your family's. They are not any strangers."

Her gaze twinkled with mischief. "Plus...I really think that your ex-fiance and Old Madam won't sit still for six months. That's where my condition is the ace card haha!"
