A day of wedding was enough to make people feel exhausted. Even if it was a hidden wedding, the process of leaving had already been taken away!
Compared to the long journey, Jing Xue was more nervous about tonight's wedding night.
Because tonight she was in the same bedroom with Han Yuxuan, sleeping on the same bed!
They, from now on, are husband and wife!
When she returned to the bridal chamber with her husband Han Yuxuan, Jing Xue grabbed a pajama and rushed into the bathroom without saying a word to him.
With a bang, the bathroom door slammed shut, followed by the sound of a lock being locked. It was as if Han Yuxuan outside the door was a beast.
"Ha!" In the bedroom, Han Yuxuan sneered and looked at the closed bathroom door with his deep eyes.
Half an hour passed, but Jing Xue showed no signs of coming out of the bathroom. Han Yuxuan smoked a cigarette and shot the cigarette butt into the trash can in the corner.
He strode to the bathroom door and asked in a bland voice, "Are you going to spend the night inside?"
In the bathroom, Jing Xue, who was wiping her hair, trembled when she heard Han Yuxuan's voice.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. "Well... I'll be fine right away!"
Two minutes later, the bathroom door opened. Jing Xue walked out with her hair dripping with water.
She lowered her head and deliberately ignored Han Yuxuan, who was standing at the door. Han Yuxuan, on the other hand, had the advantage of height and looked her up and down from head to toe.
Her beautiful hair flowed down her shoulders, black and straight, and the end of her hair dripped water on the ground.
She was wearing a very conservative pajamas, which was over her knees, revealing only a bare calf. She was wearing a sandals on her feet, and her white and tender feet were exposed in the air.
Perhaps because she was too nervous, her pink toes curled up uneasily, full of joy.
Unfortunately, as Han Yuxuan watched, he could not laugh!
He would never forget the identity of the woman in front of him. This woman named Jing Xue was merely a child born of a mistress who had ruined his family... and that was all!
Raising his hand, Han Yuxuan pinched Jing Xue's chin and raised her head to meet his eyes.
She blinked her eyes, like a frightened bunny seeing a big grey wolf.
"I... I'm done bathing. Go in and wash!" Jing Xue couldn't stand the pressure of meeting Han Yuxuan's eyes. She stuttered and ran away.
"..." Han Yuxuan paused and did not turn to look at Jing Xue, who was running away.
Heh! This woman had used despicable means to force him to marry her. Now, she was playing the same trick as he was trying to play hard to get?
It was just a no-love marriage. She thought... that she could get something from it? His love, his love? It was ridiculous!
Han Yuxuan took a deep breath and stepped into the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of running water came out of the bathroom.
Jing Xue sat in front of the dressing table, unable to suppress the nervousness in her heart. She felt as if her heart had jumped to her throat. The conflicting emotions of excitement and panic left her at a loss of what to do.
She clearly knew that Han Yuxuan did not love her. However, when her father forced her to marry Han Yuxuan and asked her what she thought, she gave a yes-man answer—
"Before mother dies, she asked me to follow uncle's instructions in the future."
She knew that it was shameless to do so, but she still chose to ignore Han Yuxuan's feelings and acquiesced in this marriage.
After all, Han Yuxuan was her lifesaver. He was the man she cared about all the time.
She thought, even if he was a block of ice, she could cover him up in the future.
In the world of love, there must be someone who took the initiative to step forward. Since that person could not be Han Yuxuan, it could only be her.
Jing Xue opened her hair nozzle. As she did so, she recalled the scene of her first meeting with Han Yuxuan.
It was in the 6th year of the winter. City Z had an exceptionally heavy snow.
When the snow stopped, Jing Xue went to visit her mother, Jing Yun, in the tomb. She stood in front of her mother's tomb for a while and told herself about all the things that had happened around her. In the end, she said a few words that made her mother feel at ease before leaving the mountain.
The cemetery was located halfway up the mountain, and they had to take a relatively narrow path down the mountain. Since it had just snowed heavily, it was covered with snow all around, and no one could see it from far away.
Jing Xue walked down the mountain with heavy steps, but at this time, she saw two ruffians with yellow hair walking toward them. They looked at each other. Jing Xue saw the two ruffians' eyes blooming with ill-intended light.
At that moment, her heart skipped a beat. For some reason, she had a bad feeling!
Everything happened so suddenly that Jing Xue didn't even have the time to think before she was dragged to the snow on the side of the road by two gangsters.
She was terrified and shouted for help, struggling hard. She kicked a gangster, then she was beaten, and the cotton clothes on her body were rudely stripped off.
On such a cold day, she was pushed into the snow, slapped a few times, and stuffed her mouth into her cotton sleeves, crying for help. The ruffian carried a military knife, cutting off all her warm down jacket, revealing her almost naked body.
At that moment, endless humiliation made Jing Xue think of one word—death!
However, she did not even have the chance to die. She was trapped in the snow and could not move.
She stared at one of the ruffian generals and saw the only shackle on her upper body. The only piece of cloth on her chest was about to be lifted.
At this critical moment, someone appeared out of nowhere and kicked the gangster riding on her. After that, he threw another left hook and knocked down the gangster who was holding Jing Xue's arms.
This was a heroic act of saving a damsel in distress that happened to Han Yuxuan and Jing Xue!
At that time, Jing Xue's entire body was trembling as she looked at the man who had appeared like a god. She couldn't stop her tears from falling.
"Don't cry, I'll take you away!" The man took off his long down jacket and wrapped her naked body.
That day, the man brought Jing Xue to the clinic to take care of her injuries. He even bought her a set of clothes before sending her back to school.
However, Jing Xue did not know the man's name!
It was not until her father asked her to work as a designer in the jewelry company of Han's company after graduation that she saw Han Yuxuan, the president of the company, that she knew that the man who saved her from danger... was called Han Yuxuan!
Falling in love with a person was so hopeless and unreasonable. Jing Xue thought, "Maybe when Han Yuxuan rescued her from the gangsters, she had already fallen in love with him..."
Her memories came to an end. Jing Xue turned off the hairdryer and put it away. She got up and walked over to the bed. At this moment, the sound of the water flowing in the bathroom stopped.
"..." Jing Xue's heart froze. Without thinking, she dragged her shoes and climbed onto the bed, her back facing the door of the bathroom.
Tonight was her wedding night with Han Yuxuan. However, she did not know how to face it...
