He embraced that woman, his attitude so tender, his gaze at her so soft and filled with love, as sweet as the prince and princess on TV.

Her breath hitched, and she almost instantly guessed it; he and the woman named Ye Lu were actually husband and wife, he indeed was not Xie Wen.

Looking at that blissful scene, she felt uncomfortable and jealous.

How could he deceive her like this, making her fall in love with him and then just disappear.

She didn’t want to give up the man of her dreams to that woman, she wanted to snatch him away, she wouldn’t give him a chance to leave.

So, she went secretly to find the village head, hinting to him that he was trying to con money, which angered the village head enough to stop believing in the treatment going out.

She stared at the man in front of her, gritting her teeth, now, he wouldn’t be able to leave here.

"What have you found out?" Third Young Master Jun’s face was cold and solemn, his words direct and straightforward.

Thinking he was onto their schemes, he felt no need to hide anymore, nor beat around the bush.

Mei didn’t expect him to confront her that fast, slightly panicked by his cold and emotionless eyes: "You, you’re not Xie Wen."

Third Young Master narrowed his eyes, somewhat surprised, based on his observations, he didn’t think this woman was that insightful. She might sense her husband was a bit different but couldn’t possibly realize it was a different person.

Then, there must be some other reason.

"How did you find out?"

"It’s none of your business how I found out."

Third Young Master scoffed, his probing gaze lingering on Mei, thinking for a moment: "Okay, since it’s out, I’m not interested in the reason anymore. Tell me directly, what do you want? As long as you help me, I am willing to pay you one billion, enough to live a wealthy life for a lifetime."

His plan being sabotaged by her, wanting to retrieve the trust of the village head, he needed her to act out a play.

Thus, he didn’t want to completely offend her, although he hated being endangered the most.

"One billion?" Mei gasped, the number one billion was something she had never heard as that massive before, she couldn’t even dare to imagine how much money that was.

But at least she understood, the man in front of her was of higher nobility and status than she imagined.

"I don’t want money."

Third Young Master raised an eyebrow: "Oh?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Mei’s heart was beating violently, her eyes burning with intensity, palms sweating nervously, but she wanted to seize this only chance to become the woman in his arms, to be spoken to gently by him.

"I, I want you."

The atmosphere suddenly stiffened, Mei’s trembling voice dissipated in the air, finally said out loud, bolstered with courage as she looked at him, filled with expectancy.

However, what she saw was just the corners of Third Young Master Jun’s lips silently curling up, sketching an arc that made her blush with immense shame, his charming eyes full of deep disdain and scorn.

As if he saw a toad longing for swan meat.

"You will never be worthy."

Along with his cold, chilling voice, came icy fingertips, his clearly defined hands gripping her chin, making her teeth chatter, a metallic blood taste spreading in her mouth, the pain was frightening.

"I have long been hers, and will only belong to her, don’t delude yourself, any woman!"

Mei felt an indescribable fear, realizing she didn’t understand this man at all, when he pretended to be her husband before, he was quiet and reserved, but treated her with gentleness and courtesy, making her believe he was a good-natured person.

Today’s update ends here.
