"Can you shut up?"
Su Mo'en's brows frowned slightly. What if Grandma really made them consummate the marriage? What should she do then?
Although Qin Chuan said they would share the bed but not the room, the crucial part was that this guy was framing her first—his character was obviously unreliable.
Unfortunately, sometimes what you fear most is exactly what happens.
In her opinion, Qin Chuan was indeed a jinx.
Old Lady Su carefully examined their marriage certificate and said with a joyful smile, "Not bad, not bad, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in Heaven!"
Qin Chuan chuckled, "Old madam, now that we have gotten our marriage certificate, shouldn't you return the Jade Pendant to me as well?"
Old Lady Su glanced at him indifferently, "And then you take off with the Jade Pendant, leaving my granddaughter a widow?"
Qin Chuan's expression suddenly darkened—this old lady wasn't confused at all!
Especially the sharp light in her eyes, which seemed to see right through his inner thoughts—there was no point in playing games!
"The Jade Pendant will be given to you, but not now!" Old Lady Su said sternly, "You are going to the bridal chamber now, and when Mo'en is pregnant, then the Jade Pendant will be returned to you!"
"Of course, if I cannot hold my great-grandson within a year, it will still count as your breach, and you will never get your hands on the Jade Pendant in this life!"
Tan Huxiao had specifically instructed that if Qin Chuan had no descendants, he absolutely must not give him the Jade Pendant!
The enemy was formidable, the Qin family's lineage must not end!
"Grandma!"
Su Mo'en's face flushed, and she said in resistance, "I..."
Old Lady Su just swept her with a cold look, and the bedroom fell quiet once again.
"Cough, cough..."
Qin Chuan, choked by his saliva, coughed continuously. The tactic was truly fierce; he could only pretend to be melancholic and pat his forehead, "A wedding night is no issue, but pity me, innately impotent, postnatally limp, the doctors even diagnosed me with infertility, having a child really troubles me!"
Su Mo'en's cold demeanor showed a hint of fluctuation, full of disbelief.
What kind of tactic was this?
So harsh that he even blackened himself, or was he telling the truth?
Old Lady Su sat there like an unfazed fisher, calmly stating, "The Jade Pendant is yours, whether or not you want to take it back is your business, I am at most a custodian!"
A direct disciple of the Heavenly Doctor with infertility?
Even if that were true, he would have cured himself already. Since when did it become the quacks' business to diagnose?
"Old madam, I'm a man with many defects, no money, no house, no job, and most importantly, I'm particularly fickle, I fall in love with every woman I see."
Qin Chuan said gloomily, "Are you really ready to let your precious granddaughter be ruined by me?"
Old Lady Su countered every move, saying, "Now that you've got the certificate, you're part of the Su family, with inheritance rights; who dares say you have no money, I'll crush them with money. If you want a job, any position at Fuyao Group is yours for the choosing."
"If you fall in love with every woman you see, start by falling in love with my granddaughter first, otherwise I won't believe it!"
Qin Chuan's face darkened—this old lady really was as cunning as a fox.
Wasn't this forcing him into a dead end?
Su Mo'en took a deep breath. The matter was already settled. All she could hope for was that this guy wouldn't be too shameless and would abide by their premarital agreement.
"Forget it, the bridal chamber, let's do it tonight!"
Qin Chuan gritted his teeth and said, "But I must state in advance, I am not marrying into the Su family, and even if we consummate the marriage, it can't be at the Su home. I... I'm going to get a room outside!"
This was his last bit of defiance. With Old Lady Su being so crafty, if they consummated the marriage at the Su home, she might pull some tricks, and things could really spiral out of control.
"Of course!"
Old Lady Su said naturally, "Even if you go to a doghouse, she'll have to follow you, and as for the matter of the Jade Pendant, it depends on your performance in battle!"
Qin Chuan was sweating profusely, the old lady was indeed resorting to any means necessary to keep him.
But it didn't matter, as long as he was despicable enough, someone in the Su family would eventually become intolerant.
He didn't believe Old Lady Su could actually have the heart to exclude her own child from the family registry.
As he left the house, he just couldn't hold it in: "Have you been unloved since you were little?"
"Especially your grandma?"
"Letting us share our wedding night, you're really not afraid I'd be at a disadvantage!"
With a cold expression, Su Mo'en said, "I hope you can keep your promise, separate rooms within the same house. This is just a marriage of convenience."
Qin Chuan, with his arms crossed, replied, "I'm no gentleman. Why should I stick to that nonsense?"
Taken aback by his words yet helpless, Su Mo'en turned to throw the marriage certificate into the trash can.
Qin Chuan, quick on his feet, stepped forward to stop her, "Don't throw it away. We'll need it when we get divorced!"
"How thoughtful of you!" Su Mo'en was genuinely amused yet given the context of divorce, she could only put it back into her bag.
The night view of Hai City, the lights dimming!
"Young Master, something terrible has happened!"
Just then, a flustered subordinate rushed in: "Someone saw Miss Su going to the Canglan Grand Hotel with a strange man to book a room!"
"You must be mistaken?" After a moment, Li Junye confidently smiled, "Mo'en is like a fairy untouched by worldly dust. Over the years, aside from business socializing, I've never seen her exchange more than a few words with any man."
"Book a room?"
"Heh..."
He had pursued her for so long, and Su Mo'en had never even smiled at him, let alone that time he risked his life with his brothers to rescue her from kidnappers, only to receive a cold 'thank you'. Yet, that had moved him for a long time.
At least now, Su Mo'en wasn't as resistant to him as before, but to say close, it still seemed like a dream.
"You think I'm joking about this?"
The subordinate pulled out a video, his face bitter.
When Li Junye saw it was indeed Su Mo'en, his world crashed down, and he said sternly with a cold demeanor, "Call the brothers, we're going to the Canglan Grand Hotel to get her back!"
"Within ten minutes, I want all the information on that man!"
It took just a sentence to gather dozens of cars—such was the influence of the Crown Prince of Hai City.
The woman Li Junye fancied could remain unattainable, silently guarded for a lifetime, but he strictly forbade any other man from touching her!
The dragon has a reverse scale, touch it and face certain death!
In the presidential suite at Canglan Grand Hotel!
Dragging her exhausted body, Su Mo'en sat on the sofa, slightly frowning as she held her abdomen, "Uh…"
Menstrual cramps were merciless, tormenting her to the brink of life and death.
The painful moans made Qin Chuan frown slightly—should he help?
Forget it, after all, they were married, and he was a doctor. Pretending to revel in her misery, he said, "You endured all the way here, and now you can't bear it anymore?"
To say that Su Mo'en was strong was an understatement; despite such pain, she had managed to keep her composure for so long.
But even the strongest people lose all dignity in the face of illness.
Su Mo'en lifted her head slightly and retorted angrily, "So... you're here to laugh at me?"
"As you wished, I'm in great pain now… uh…"
Before she could finish, another wave of pain intensified, forcing Su Mo'en to bite her lip hard, bending over with both hands on her abdomen, hoping to alleviate the symptoms.
"It's not exactly schadenfreude. I'm just afraid you'll fall in love with me!" Qin Chuan said teasingly, "Believe it or not, they can't cure your illness, but I can cure it with my hands?"
Su Mo'en bit her lip tightly, disbelief written in her eyes, but the pain was so severe she couldn't even speak.
Qin Chuan stood with his hands behind his back, appearing to be a sage from another world, "I know you don't believe me, so how about this. If you cooperate with the treatment and I cure you, then you propose the divorce, and ask your grandma to return the Jade Pendant to me, its rightful owner."
"If I can't cure you, then I'll propose the divorce and give you the freedom you want!"
Su Mo'en blinked her eyes skeptically, asking, "How should I cooperate with you?"
Could there really be such a good deal?
Yet, to be free of her pain, despite her doubts, she decided to give it a try!
Never one to mince words, Qin Chuan said, "Start by taking off your clothes, then lie on the bed!"
He didn't want to, since this girl was too arousing, and losing control would be embarrassing, but there was no other way to treat her. He would try his utmost to control his desire.
