Fu Bingwen had realized with one phone call to a venue that his wife's name can make things happen. He had decided that they would have an engagement party first, it would satisfy his family and give him more time to adjust getting married to Vanessa. They would have a wedding a year or two after the party, by that time he will get to know her better and wouldn't feel awkward on the wedding night.
When the venue found out he was getting engaged to Vanessa Flores, a quick call from her to confirm, they changed from having no date until next year to having one open a month later. The venue he had chosen was a large greenhouse that was high up in the sky. It was beautiful, it will be hard to top when it was their wedding.
But the wedding day will be bigger, since his family probably wants to invite more people. The engagement party now is mostly Vanessa's comrades and his extended family. Or that was the plan.
Fu Bingwen glared at his older brother, who was talking on the phone. "What happened to just family? This engagement was supposed to be small but now every news outlet is talking about it. Not to mention father and mother are answering calls and accepting everyone!"
He looked at him, "Fu Bingwen, stop whining around. We can't offend-"
"You can't!" He yelled, he didn't want to be here. He didn't want to get married off! The least they can do is let him plan his own engagement party. "I said you can invite anyone you want for the wedding, but the engagement is mine! I am not going to let you ruin it for me."
"And what are you going to do, Bingwen?" His brother asked him. He looked down at him, unimpressed and cold. Fu Bingwen started shaking as a heavy weight got put on him, he coughed. Blood, did he cough up blood? No, no, he didn't want to die. He stumbled out of the room, holding his chest as that man continued talking.
Fu Bingwen sent a voice message to his only backing, nearly crying as he did so.

'They are bullying me and aren't letting me plan our wedding. He made me puke up blood, it hurts.'
Vanessa listened to the message on repeat as she made her way to the Fu Villa, Niles was driving because he didn't trust her while being angry. The five minutes it took to get there was too long for her liking.
When she got there, she ignored the warnings from the security system and directly destroyed the robots. "Stay in the car with Vance, it will be a quick visit." She told him as she unbuckled, "have the first aid kit ready."
She didn't pause when she walked in and broke open the door with a little push. The maid who was watching from the window, screamed loudly. Walking past her, she started to go upstairs, following the small seed she had attached to him.
Before she got to the second floor, Fu Bingwen jumped in her arms with a small bag. "Vanessa, we have to leave! Before they stop us!" She wanted to laugh, like they could stop her. If she wanted, she can burn this whole place down and they will have to bite their tongues off.
She pat his head softly, "don't worry, they can't do anything." She looked up at the man standing on the second floor, a warning in her eyes. She will have to deal with them later, she had to take care of her husband and record the damage.
An A Rank person attacking a C+ person is worthy of years in prison. While her breaking their weak security is justified by saving her weak husband. And if there are any signs of long term abuse, well, another visit wouldn't take too much time.

Niles sighed as he set up his equipment, at this point, he should set up a doctor office in her home. Actually, he might, she doesn't like hospital and has money to spare. The house next door is for sell too, he could buy that or make her do it. "Hey, Vanessa, buy the house next door. I can be close to you and be out of your way."
"Sure, it's pretty cheap," she waved him off as she continued to comfort her little husband. Not that he was small, Vanessa was just a giant. Fu Bingwen was totally average size, Niles was also a normal sized man.
Fuck, he never thought he could feel how single he was until now. Maybe he should look for a husband, who can deal with moving around a lot.
"Just keep calm, it won't hurt."
That sounded wrong. Should he be here? All she has to do is push a button after he hooks up the medicine...yeah, his captain will probably push the wrong button.
But single dogs has rights too.

Shen Jiang has been irritated and short tempered, he couldn't believe Vanessa is marrying a moron who didn't even plan on going to college. Fu Bingwen was one of those low noble sons who just drink and party. He didn't understand why she was marrying him, Shen Jiang couldn't go see her as he had to stabilize his position.
He glared at the screen with the photo of Fu Bingwen, he was a very beautiful young man who dressed in horrible colorful clothes. His rankings didn't even make the benchmark for trainees and he looked skinny with little muscle. He didn't know why she would agree to this marriage.
Shen Jiang opened another screen to read the articles about Fu Bingwen and Vanessa. Most of them were talking about their engagement party and what they know about it. A few of them were about Vanessa's battles and history, there was only a couple about Fu Bingwen and his past. It was filled with partying and being a little overlord.
He watched the comments slowly grow, more and more people are getting angry, upset by this marriage.
