To be honest, she was thinking that if she couldn't stand it, she would stab her own body with a knife. She could not imagine how humiliating it would be to hand herself over to him. She wished she could die just by thinking that something like that might happen.
So her mood at that time was not without fear. Later, while still in a daze, she was held in his arms, smelling the familiar smell. She even had a moment to be thankful: fortunately, it was him and not someone else.
After all, he was her deskmate for some time, not a random unknown guy. And he did not disgust her.
But it didn't mean anything.
On the contrary, when he tossed her around, it was really too hard for her to retaliate properly. She didn't suffer losses, but it didn't mean that she's unreasonable. Third Prince was still quite competent as an antidote. Helian Wei Wei thought that she could not meet anyone she liked here anyway. She had never fancied anyone in her previous life, so she would just do it with him anyway.
On the contrary, Baili Jia Jue looked at her with some interest. Having seen what kind of character she was, he would not ask her to be shy and nervous but talked with her openly about the conditions of their marriage.
People who didn't know think that she's really a woman who didn't obey the rules of womanly virtues.
Perhaps only he knew what this little ruffian looked like in bed.
It was clear that nobody knew anything at all that she was like a piece of paper tiger with her shouts.
Teaching tigers was very interesting. Especially teaching her.
Baili Jia Jue drew out a trace of evil in his eyes and sat beside her. His long legs slightly overlapped each other and his tone faint, "You truly should accept your situation."
"What to do if I don't accept it, kill you?" Helian Wei Wei withdrew her hands and yawned indifferently. She said lazily, "Or will crying and screaming make you take responsibility? It's a dazzling world with myriad temptations. What's wrong with it? Besides, my ambition is not here."
Ambition, huh. Baili Jia Jue felt that this little girl, who acted recklessly, always spoke differently from others."What is your ambition?"
"I want to be the richest person in the world." Helian Wei Wei talked about her dream spiritedly. Her eyes were bright.
Baili Jia Jue poured cold water on her ambition calmly."That means having more money than this prince. Are you sure you can do it?"
Helian Wei Wei choked up. But then she continued smiling."How do you know if you don't try?"
Unexpectedly, Baili Jia Jue ignored her provocation. He pointed at her head with his long fingers. His cold expression was like looking at a fool."Helian Wei Wei, do you have tofu dregs instead of a brain inside your head? Aren't you now the richest princess in the world? What's the difference between that and the richest person?"
Helian Wei Wei was stunned, she did not think about this problem.
Baili Jia Jue looked at her expression. The irony became more and more obvious.
Because when they discussed the contract before, one of His Highness' promises was to let her take charge of his estate.
She had forgotten the whole thing.
However, there's a difference.
For example, sooner or later she would leave the palace. Wouldn't she have to return it all when the time comes?
In the matter of money, it was useless to depend on anyone. She still had to depend on herself.
"As for the rest." Baili Jia Jue rapped the roll of paper in his hands."Why didn't you read these two documents before you speak?"
Helian Wei Wei wondered if it was worth reading. She had asked for two copies, one of which was still in her own hands, just because she was afraid there were some mistakes in it.
Still, she smoothed out the roll of papers. Mm, there's no problems with several of those points.
"Here." The man's arm turned and pointed to the marital obligation, on clause seventh."Look carefully."
The husband and wife have no obligation to... stop?!
When she was filling in the forms, she clearly didn't write the word "stop"!
Now with that one word added at the end of the sentence, the context became totally different!
Helian Wei Wei winced and looked back at Baili Jia Jue. She didn't have to wonder whose masterpiece it was."Your Highness really overturned my impression of you. The end justifies the means."
While saying that, she laughed, picked up the agreement, and tore the paper into pieces."In that case, we have nothing to talk about."
It was her action that made Baili Jia Jue's eyes turn cold in an instant.
He looked at the paper that bind them together. His eyes darkened and filled with layer upon layers of rage.
"Did I say that I am a good person?" "He slowly began to unroll his sleeves. His face was still as beautiful as an ice sculpture, and even the tone of his voice was cold. However, his action seemed too aggressive.
This made Helian Wei Wei be on guard. She took a dagger out.
But he took hold of her wrist and pushed her on top of his knees with that strength.
"From the very beginning, this prince has been thinking about how to make your two restless claws to be still." The man whispered from behind her, his hot breath hit her ears."At last this prince found out, it's pretty good this way."
Helian Wei Wei bit her thin lower lip tightly. Helian Wei Wei knew it this time that His Highness had a big appetite.
Otherwise, it was impossible to control a man like him.
So she coincidentally was on top of the muzzle of a gun. He really was a self-centred show-off!
Before Helian Wei Wei had finished slandering him in her heart, her sensitive softness which was covered by clothes was suddenly kneaded. The strength was neither light nor heavy, but it was her fatal point.
A familiar feeling of numbness made her straighten her neck. However, she didn't make any sound. She even bit her thin lips until they were white, but she still refused to show weakness.
Baili Jia Jue was watching her with sinking eyes. His hands felt a little heavier.
Outside, the servants did not dare to come in at all, but Helian Wei Wei could still hear the footsteps coming from time to time. It made her even more nervous, fearing that anyone would see her in this current situation.
In fact, at this point, it was totally over-thinking on Helian Wei Wei's part. With Third Royal Highness such a vicious person, how could he let others see her like this?
He was just admiring her since the way she looked yesterday was filling his mind....
The soaked wedding dress outlined an almost perfect curve of her delicate body, from the delicate neck to the smooth sloping shoulders. Continuing downward, she had lithe and slender waist and limbs, then a pair of long, fair legs...
Everything was fine, except for one small defect. In those two misty pair of eyes, there was no regard for him.
Like how she could chat about a contract so indifferently with him right now.
But it's also because she never took him seriously...
