Mu Qingyu transferred to Shen Jingmo’s class when she was in her second year of high school. She was practically invisible and a nobody in the class. As a result, Shen Jingmo might not have any impression of her, but she had a deep impression of him.

Mu Qingyu remembered encountering Shen Jingmo one evening while she was jogging by the river. The young man had a disgruntled expression while helping primary school students deal with the gangsters who collected protection fees outside the school. Thereafter, the man left without changing his expression.

In the end, the group of children ran up to stop him and stuffed the money in his hands. Mu Qingyu could still clearly remember Shen Jingmo’s reaction at that time. He was stunned and impatient. It was quite interesting.

Mu Qingyu, who was standing at the side, couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She didn’t know if he had discovered her, but she quickly escaped. Back then, she had thought that although Shen Jingmo looked like he had an unsightly expression and a bad temper, he should still be a kind person.

Therefore, when Madam Shen asked them to get married immediately, Mu Qingyu only considered for a second before agreeing. Even if they didn’t love each other after marriage, she could be assured Shen Jingmo would not bully her.

Madam Shen informed her that Shen Jingmo would be home in two or three days. Mu Qingyu felt a little worried and didn’t know how to get along with him.

Since she had to pick up Tang Xin from the airport tomorrow, Mu Qingyu quickly went to bed after washing up. She didn’t know if it was due to the unfamiliarity of the bed, but she couldn’t sleep well that night. She kept having dreams.

In her dream, Mu Qingyu was either bitten on the neck by a blood-sucking beast or Shen Jingmo’s cold but exquisite face would be looming over her. With a gloomy and disgusted expression, Shen Jingmo remarked, “Don’t delude yourself into thinking I will fall in love with you just because you have tried so hard to please my mother. Our family status and backgrounds are worlds apart. What benefits do you think you can bring to the Shen family if I marry you?”

Thus, when she woke up the next day, Mu Qingyu still felt exhausted. She stretched lazily and felt the soreness all over her body. She vividly recalled her dream last night. Mu Qingyu sighed helplessly. She could foresee her dream turning into reality. Shen Jingmo might be hostile to her.

“D*mn, you’re really married to Shen Jingmo?” This was the eighth time Tang Xin had asked this question since they met.

Mu Qingyu looked at the woman bearing a perfect figure and sighed helplessly, “Eldest Miss, how many times do you want me to repeat myself? I’m really married to him.”

Tang Xin seemed to be having a great mental struggle in her heart, and her face was red. “I really want to open your head and see which nerve is impaired… Why did you choose Shen Jingmo of all people? He is a lunatic. Isn’t my brother a hundred times gentler than him? Do you want to consider my brother again? You and Shen Jingmo just got married. You two haven’t cultivated any feelings for each other, so you can still change your mind.”

Tang Xin ranted, “No! Haven’t I constantly reminded you? He is utterly insane. He is not a person you can control. Do you understand? His business trip to Alaska was sensational in the country. Almost everyone in Yan City knew how he secured the business deal. He pointed a gun at the head of the other party and threatened to shoot! Is this something a normal person would do? Besides, you know that he used to be in the special forces, right? With your small body, can you withstand his torment?”

Mu Qingyu felt helpless. “Even if he doesn’t like me, he wouldn’t beat me up, right? What do you mean by withstanding his torment? That’s too dramatic!”

“Oh, you don’t know anything at all. Just go out and ask around. Who in Yan City isn’t afraid of Shen Jingmo?” Tang Xin irritatedly stirred the milk tea in her cup. Actually, she understood the Mu family’s current situation. If Mu Qingyu wanted to save the Mu family’s company through marriage, then no one was more suitable than Shen Jingmo.

Marriage in the upper-class circle was mostly an exchange of interests. Finding true love and getting married thereafter was out of the question. Their marriages were basically arranged by their families, so the children of wealthy families often laughed at themselves for seemingly being trapped in a feudal society. They couldn’t even decide their own marriages.
