Shen Manting put away the marriage certificate and got into the car. She said to the driver, "I'll have to trouble you to send me to the Shen residence. " She had been on a business trip for more than half a month. After a night's flight and a surgery during the day, Shen Manting was so exhausted that she fell asleep in her seat.
Meanwhile, Xue Chenkong was holding the marriage certificate in his hand. When he saw the name "Shen Manting" written on the column of his spouse, he was so moved that he wanted to cry. After so many years of his anticipation, she was finally his wife. He turned around and carefully held Shen Manting in his arms, feeling satisfied.
"Mr. Chenkong? Shall I drive back to the Shen residence first as the young lady ordered? " The driver's sudden voice jolted Xue Chenkong out of his thoughts.
He looked at the driver expressionlessly. "Back to Grand View Mansion. "
The driver knew that he had said the wrong thing. He broke out in a cold sweat while acknowledging the order in a low voice. When Xue Chenkong was angry, even his grandfather would have to keep a distance from him. He would only pretend to be obedient in front of the young lady.
Grand View Mansion was located at the foot of the capital's scenic Area. It was difficult to buy even if one had the money because it occupied a hill and covered an area of 50 thousand square meters, which included a golf course, a horse track, and a garden. It was worth ten billion.
The mansion area had been developed by the Xue Corporation, and Xue Chenkong had personally designed it to be his and Shen Manting's post-marriage house.
Shen Manting was vigilant by nature. She woke up the moment the car stopped and looked at the unfamiliar scenery outside with a dazed look in her eyes. "Where is this place? " she asked in a soft voice.
"Ah Ting, we'll live here from now on. Just the two of us, okay? " Xue Chenkong carried Shen Manting out of the car. He looked at the brightly lit mansion and asked carefully, "Do you like this place? "
Shen Manting's expression slowly changed as she looked at the scene in front of her.
The huge mansion stood on the mountainside, as majestic as a palace. At the entrance was a huge garden and a green helipad, to the east was a golf course and a horse track, and to the west was a huge amusement park...
The path on both sides was planted with her favorite roses, and everything was as beautiful as a painting. However, no matter how beautiful it was, Shen Manting wasn't in the mood to appreciate it. Instead, her face turned paler and paler, because everything was too familiar!
Based on the past instances, her terrible nightmares were a reflection of reality!
In one of them, when she refused to marry Xue Chenkong, he went crazy and forced her to get married, then imprisoned her there! The so-called gorgeous mansion in front of her was a precious cage that he had built for her.
Shen Manting couldn't help but recall more and more nightmares. She bit her pale lips and said in a trembling voice, "I don't like it! "
Hearing that, Xue Chenkong felt his lips stiffen as if he had done something wrong. He looked flustered and didn't know what to do. "Ah Ting, you don't like this place? Don't worry, I'll get someone to tear it down and build a new one that you like. "
After saying that, he quickly put her down and took out his phone to contact his personal assistant. "Ming He, send people to tear down Grand View Mansion! Now! "
Ming He was sleeping when he received a call from his boss in the middle of the night, asking to tear down Grand View Mansion. He was instantly dumbfounded. Was he still dreaming? "What did you say, Mr. Shen? I'm probably muddled from my sleep. "
"I told you to tear down Grand View Mansion right now. Ah Ting doesn't like it. " Xue Chenkong's eyes were cold. Anything that Ah Ting did not like should not exist!
Ming He was completely awoken. His wife didn't like a house worth more than ten billion, so he wanted to tear it down just like that? !
"Don't. " Shen Manting was shocked. Her heart ached as she said, "Even if you don't like it, you don't have to tear it down. It's such a waste. " Besides, she didn't like it because she didn't like being imprisoned by him. What difference would it make even if they moved? But she couldn't say that.
Xue Chenkong pursed his lips. "But you were unhappy just now. "
"I wasn't unhappy. I was just making a casual remark," Shen Manting lied helplessly.
Xue Chenkong still looked unhappy. "So Ah Ting lied to me! "
"I didn't! " Shen Manting took a deep breath, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed him on the side of his handsome face. "Really, " she said.
Xue Chenkong was instantly comforted by the warm touch, and a smile returned to his face. "Ah Ting, I'm so happy that we're married. Are you happy? "
Looking at Xue Chenkong's clear eyes, Shen Manting temporarily forgot about her unhappiness and smiled. "I'm happy. "
"Ah Ting is the best! " Xue Chenkong happily carried her in his arms and strode toward the mansion.
With how quickly he was walking, Shen Manting was worried that she would fall, so she wrapped her slender arms around his neck. "Slow down, " she uttered.
"Ah Ting, today is our wedding night. " Xue Chenkong lowered his head. His eyes were like those of a wild beast as it stared at its prey.
