The Gu family did not want Gu Wenxi to marry Xiao Jiuyan. They didn’t want their precious princess tied to a paralytic her entire life.
However, they still wanted the power that the Xiao family has so they got Guan Xi to replace her. Guan Xi was Gu Wenxi’s identical twin sister who was thrown into the orphanage at birth.
Guan Xi pursed her lips.
The similarities between the two, however, ended with their looks. Their personalities were the complete opposite of each other so she has put up an act for the Xiao family.
Stupid Gu family!
Stupid Gu Wenxi!
She’s only doing this because they used her adoptive parents to threaten her.
Guan Xi took a deep breath and mentally readied herself to step into the role of Gu Wenxi again.
She lowered her head and called out softly and sweetly, “Master Jiu.”
Her voice was so sweet she almost sounded like a child.
Guan Xi hated that Gu Wenxi always spoke in meek, coquettish tone. It was demeaning!
She might be just emulating her twin but it still gets on her nerves.
Xiao Jiuyan was sitting in his wheelchair, his big hand flipping through a financial magazine when he heard the girl’s soft voice.
Without even bothering to look up, he said, “You’re late.”
His voice might have sounded emotionless, but there was no denying that the deep baritones in his voice were exceptionally sexy.
Guan Xi's hands shook a bit. Yes, he was sexy, but right now, she’s frightened, not seduced.
She pouted, feeling wronged. "Master Jiu, I... I was only a minute late. Can’t you make an exception?”
"A minute?"
Xiao Jiuyan put the magazine down and stared at her. Coldly, he said, “Gu Wenxi, do you know what can happen in a minute? On the battlefield, even one second can mean life or death.”
"I know, but Master Jiu, I had a club activity today. Can you…”
.
“No,” Xiao Jiuyan cut her off.
He was being harsh and he knew it.
He had to admit that her beauty and her timid demeanor had some effect on him. The innocence around her could arouse any man’s protective instincts.
This beautiful lady was his little wife.
However, he also knew that people in the Gu family have nothing but their good looks.
Xiao Jiuyan steeled himself and narrowed his eyes.
His voice left no room for argument when he said, "If you are one minute late, you have to copy the disciplinary rules. If you talk back, you have to copy them twice."
Twice??!
WHAT THE F*CK?!
Bastard!
F*cking bastard!
Guan Xi wanted to curse him out, but of course, she remained the silent, docile wife.
Obediently, she walked to the storage cabinet, took out all the tools she needed, and began copying the disciplinary rules.
In her head, she could hear his stupid voice commanding her.
Who does he think he is?
This man was treating her like she was a kid! She’s his wife for God’s sake! Well, fake wife, but still...
Even if he wasn’t paralyzed, he’d be hard-pressed to find someone to marry him with a personality like this!
Who would want to marry a man who treats a beautiful woman so cruelly?
.
Guan Xi copied the disciplinary rules until it was almost midnight and well after Master Jiu had gone upstairs.
She kept going even though her wrist had already started hurting.
When she finally finished her punishment, she headed for Xiao Jiuyan’s room with the thick stack of disciplinary rules she copied.
She arrived at his door, took a deep breath, and then knocked.
