Su Mo'en's heart skipped a beat, yet she still pulled over the duck down quilt and covered herself, stubbornly saying, "Your mind is so active, you should become a writer, not a hooligan in front of me!"
Until the family recognized Su Nianci's identity, the truth naturally could not be revealed.
"That's right!"
Qin Chuan smiled faintly, indeed in this world there couldn't possibly be two identical people, even identical twins wouldn't be exactly the same. Perhaps at noon, he had been captivated by Su Mo'en's charming figure, leading to a fault in his memory. He continued, "Your palace cold illness, I have cured. It will not relapse for life. Please remember your promise and hand over the item to me tomorrow, then we'll get a divorce!"
Su Mo'en's brows furrowed slightly, realizing only now that the pain had long since vanished. However, her surprise was fleeting, quickly settling into calm, "We're all adults here, don't try to fool me with tricks for children."
Indeed, the pain was gone, but she had always suffered from intermittent pain, so she simply assumed it had passed with time. Naturally, she wouldn't credit Qin Chuan with the cure.
Moreover, even if Qin Chuan really had cured her, she didn't believe it wouldn't recur in her lifetime.
And even if everything Qin Chuan said was true, she wouldn't bring up 'divorce' until her sister, Su Nianci, was free.
"Hey..."
Qin Chuan chuckled, "Are you planning to play tough?"
He naturally knew Su Mo'en wouldn't agree to a divorce easily, so he didn't feel any disappointment internally. It was as if he was just chatting with a beautiful girl to pass the boring late night hours.
"Play tough?" Su Mo'en retorted sharply, "You promised it wouldn't recur for life. How would I know if what you say is true or false before the moment of death?"
Qin Chuan smiled leisurely, "Well said, it seems we are cut from the same cloth!"
Su Mo'en became agitated, "Who is cut from the same cloth as you?"
She was completely unaware of how much she had spoken to a man other than during work, which was rare, especially with Qin Chuan that night.
Perhaps it was because she truly despised the man before her, that she resisted so strongly.
"Wife, since you are heartless, don't blame me for being unprincipled!" Qin Chuan rested one hand on the quilt, feigning an attempt to unveil it while he sighed with a tinge of regret, "I originally wanted to take back my belongings and leave with dignity, but I didn't expect you to cling to me. Now, I have no choice but to fulfill the promise, to get you pregnant before we divorce!"
To take back the Jade Pendant, there were only two options before him: either get Su Mo'en pregnant or have her initiate the divorce.
However, looking at the situation, Su Mo'en was breathtakingly beautiful, and even if he went down the first path, he didn't stand to lose.
"You..."
Su Mo'en panicked. She didn't know if Qin Chuan was serious or joking. Remembering her torn clothes, she could only press her body firmly against the quilt, guarding her last shred of innocence.
"What about me?"
Qin Chuan's lips curled into a mischievous smile, growing wider, "You forced my hand!"
Just now, weren't you quite imposing?
Now you can't take it any longer?
Trying to outsmart me?
What a joke!
He just loved to conquer, particularly cold and unattainable beauties like Su Mo'en. Seeing her show a hint of vulnerability now, the sense of achievement in his heart was filled to an unrivaled high.
"Don't do something you'll regret!"
Su Mo'en bit her red lip tightly, "You can't handle the consequences!"
Why, even knowing that her grandmother's personality would force her to consummate her marriage with Qin Chuan, was there only internal resistance and no fear?
It was because she knew someone was always watching over her. If nothing unexpected happened, Li Junye was already on his way to intervene.
As the Crown Prince of Hai City's underworld, his power was immense. Should Qin Chuan overstep the boundaries between a man and a woman, he would surely bring disaster upon himself.
"Are you threatening me again?"
```
Qin Chuan gave a helpless smile, "Too bad, young master here tends to favor gentle persuasion over coercion, you brought this upon yourself."
If Su Mo'en had spoken softly, he would have softened as well, but she insisted on threatening him again and again. If he caved in, could he even call himself a man?
Hence, without a second thought, he prepared to pull back the covers.
"Bang..."
Just at that moment, the door was kicked open with a loud crash!
Immediately following was a rush of hurried footsteps from the doorway into the bedroom; when Su Mo'en saw the man in the white suit, holding a cigarette in his mouth and hands in his pockets, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Li Junye arrived just in time to save her from a despicable fate.
The corners of Qin Chuan's mouth lifted slightly, his eyes filled with mocking amusement. He hadn't expected his newly-wedded bride to play this trick and teased, "Your lover?"
It was clear from the look in Su Mo'en's beautiful eyes that she held no affection for the man who had just arrived, yet there was a sense of security.
Given Eldest Lady Su's stature, attracting a few delusional dogs hoping to play the hero wasn't difficult.
Anger filled Su Mo'en's phoenix eyes. Her relationship with Li Junye was merely that of the pursued and pursuer, and she had always maintained a rejecting stance. However, in Qin Chuan's mouth, it sounded incredibly distasteful.
"Let her go!"
Li Junye spoke in a deep tone while nonchalantly blowing a smoke ring, the cold gaze in his eyes sharp as a blade.
And as soon as he finished speaking, a group of subordinates in black suits stepped forward with an imposing aura, ready to pounce like hungry tigers.
Qin Chuan acted as if he saw nothing, continuing to jest with a smile, "Your lover seems to have an even worse temper than mine!"
Li Junye's face turned green. In Hai City, no one dared to ignore his presence, especially the term 'lover,' which struck a deep chord in his heart.
He'd played the role of a fawning dog, was being a lover also too much to handle?
But he wasn't even considered a lover and was mocked by this nobody, which was like a slap to his face.
Li Junye's presence grew even more commanding, "I order you to let her go!"
His rage filled the presidential suite, creating an intensely oppressive atmosphere.
Yet it didn't intimidate Qin Chuan in the least; instead, he continued to ignore everyone behind him, focusing solely on Su Mo'en, awaiting the answer he wanted!
"Please show some respect for me, and for yourself!"
Struggling to contain her frustration, Su Mo'en implored, "I may not think highly of you, but having obtained the marriage certificate, I am most certainly pure!"
What did Qin Chuan take her for?
She was above engaging in such acts!
After receiving the answer he wanted, Qin Chuan turned around with a triumphant smile, "You heard her, Mo'en and I are lawfully wedded, and even the money for the hotel room was paid by Mo'en herself. So, what do you want to do?"
Startled, Su Mo'en wondered if this guy had set her up again?
"Mo'en, what's going on?"
Li Junye felt rage surging through him to the point of a cerebral hemorrhage. His face went pale. He had been pursuing her for years, even risking his life to protect her. Yet, was he now surpassed by a newcomer?
What infuriated him the most was Qin Chuan's remark that the money for the room was paid by Su Mo'en. While the financial blow was insignificant, the humiliation was profound!
The subordinates were equally stunned; they had long regarded Su Mo'en as their sister-in-law, but now she was married and the groom wasn't their boss Li Junye... this...
They could feel Li Junye's rage skyrocketing. How could this kid, not suffering from a decade-long cerebral thrombosis, dare to marry their sister-in-law?
It was like lighting a candle in a restroom—it was courting death!
