Li Yuhuan couldn’t stand any of the Lei family’s stares.

She made an excuse to go to the bathroom. And if she decided to disappear for a while, nobody would probably notice. Right? But on the way, she heard a timid female voice from the corner, “I didn’t realize that our Hanping was so hungry. Just seeing those bite marks on the neck of the Li family’s little girl hurts me…”

Then a familiar male voice replied, “Should I bite your neck harder next time? So you can feel it yourself?”

Li Yuhuan recognized the voices as the couple she assumed was having an affair in the backyard. She took a peek and realized they were Lei Hanping’s brother and sister-in-law.

‘Were they just role-playing the other day?’

When Li Yuhuan stepped out of the bathroom, she was stopped by the sight of Li Chen leaning against the wall. It looked as if he had waited for her. There were a few moments of silence between them, and her nervousness only grew under her brother’s watchful stare. Li Chen’s gaze fell to the hickeys on her neck before he finally asked, “Are you guys together?”

“Yes,” Li Yuhuan confirmed.

“I thought you said you didn’t like soldiers?” Li Chen asked, curious, “Why are you with Fourth Brother now? I’m sure you’re familiar with his job. He has to go on missions all year round, and as a general in the military region, he is very different from the other ordinary soldiers. You…”

Li Yuhuan sighed and said, “I know. That’s why I’ve been struggling to decide whether I should be with him or not ever since we first met at Grandfather’s banquet,”

“And… you’re not conflicted anymore?” Li Chen asked.

“Yes,” From an outsider’s perspective, Li Yuhuan and Li Chen didn’t seem to get along, but they were close. Listening to Li Chen’s questions warmed her heart and eased her nervousness, “Brother, don’t worry. I like Fourth Brother, and I do want to marry him.”

Seeing his sister’s serious expression, Li Chen sighed and patted her head. “Alright, as long as you like him. I’m just worried that you want to marry him because you’re sick of mother and father forcing you to go on blind dates, so you find someone to make do with. Fourth Brother is a decent guy and knows how to take care of people. I can be more at ease if you’re with him.”

Li Yuhuan listened quietly, and from the corner of her eye, she saw Lei Hanping coming from the other side of the hallway, walking towards them.

From a distance, Lei Hanping observed Li Yuhuan. He noted that her expression was calm, and her mouth curled into a soft smile. Concluding that Li Yuhuan didn’t require his assistance with her brother’s confrontation, he walked away.

…

That night, Lei Hanping drove Li Yuhuan back to the hotel she was staying at, and since Li Chen was also in the car, Lei Hanping didn’t say much to her.

The first thing Li Yuhuan did when she entered her room was to take a shower. When she came out, she realized she had missed a few calls from Lei Hanping. She quickly called the man back, and unsurprisingly, the man picked up on the first ring.

“You didn’t answer my calls,” Lei Hanping’s sexy baritone voice hummed through the phone. “I thought you were going to break your promise.”

“You worry too much, Fourth Brother,” Li Yuhuan said as she dried her hair with one hand. The bathrobe on her body was slightly open, revealing the white and smooth slopes of her shoulders. She was naturally sensual and seductive yet unaware of her beauty. “I’m a woman who abides by the spirit of a contract. Since I’ve agreed to the fake marriage with you, I’ll never go back on my word,” She spoke in a very level, formal tone.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Lei Hanping glanced at Li Chen, who drunkenly begged him to call him “big brother”. He chuckled and said, “Your brother is drunk and kept asking me to call him ‘big brother.’ Do you think I should call him that?”

Knowing her own brother’s antics a little too well, she rolled her eyes and said, “Don’t mind him,”

“Which means you want me to call him that in half a month?” Lei Hanping seemed to have been drinking as well. His voice was low and grave, reminding her of what he had said to her at his house when he rubbed his hot shaft against her bud, “In half a month, I will not let you go.”

The so-called half a month was not that far away, but it wasn’t particularly close either. Whenever she thought about the things Lei Hanping had said in the days leading up to their marriage, she couldn’t help but wonder how she would react when that day arrived.

‘His c*ck was really thick….’

…

Li Chen didn’t stay in Xiang City for too long. Plus, he couldn’t wait to go home and tell his parents that Li Yuhuan and Lei Hanping were together.

Liu Xi called Li Yuhuan as soon as she heard the news. Li Yuhuan, who had anticipated her call, told her mother that she had fallen in love with Lei Hanping at first sight. After careful consideration, she had agreed to marry him because she didn’t want to miss out on such an outstanding man.

Meanwhile, when the Lei family questioned the reason for his sudden marriage, Lei Hanping explained to his family that he had long loved Li Yuhuan and had been pursuing her for several years.

Li Yuhuan didn’t exhibit any specific reaction to Lei Hanping’s responses. It was just his way of dealing with his family, after all. Whatever excuse he came up with, as long as his family believed it, it was okay.

Later that day, Li Yuhuan visited Song Ran in the hospital and informed her of her upcoming marriage. When her friend heard she was getting married to the coldest and heartless general in the Xiang City Military Region, she shouted, “F*ck, I must’ve misheard that, right? You didn’t just tell me that you’re going to marry Lei Hanping, the youngest general in Xiang City Military Region, right?”
