Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go Chapter 2 Witnessing the Scumbag Cheating with His Own Sister

"Ahh!"
Mu Shini awoke abruptly from a nightmare, a man in her dream relentlessly pressing her into submission. It felt perilous and utterly terrifying!
Drenched in a cold sweat, she felt a lingering clamminess even after waking.
After showering, she discovered her skin covered in a rash of dense red spots, which only amplified her alarm. Hurrying downstairs to find her father, she paused near his study, catching snippets of a conversation that drained the color from her face.
"Absolutely not! Nian Nian cannot marry into the Bao Family! While the Bao Family's Second Young Master hails from a prominent lineage, he is paralyzed from the waist down, a violent and unpredictable man. How can I condemn Nian Nian to such suffering? Besides, we don't even know how much longer Bo Sishen has to live! Nian Nian is merely 18; how can she face such a fate as a young, real widow so soon! I promised her mother I would protect her."
"But our Mu Family faces constant peril, and the Bao Family's marriage proposal is their way of honoring the engagement contract between our families."
"Even if we were willing, Nian Nian's grandfather would never permit her to marry into the Bao Family!"
"Father is old; he can no longer make these critical decisions. Furthermore, this marriage was pledged by Mu Shini's grandfather to the Bao Family years ago. We are merely fulfilling that solemn commitment. Beyond that, the Bao Family aims to avert misfortune, and given Mu Shini's own strange affliction over the past two years, perhaps this union could even cure her malady."
Mu Yanfu's grave pronouncements and Wen Chunlan's persuasive arguments drifted from the study, overheard by a petrified Mu Shini standing at the threshold.
She pushed the door open, her red-rimmed eyes fixing on her father and stepmother, Wen Chunlan, as she entered.
"Father, please, take me to the hospital. I feel so unwell..."
Her body was covered in large red welts, her gaze pleading tearfully as she knelt.
"Shini, it's not that we refuse to take you to the hospital. It's just that you yourself don't recall what transpired two years ago, making it impossible for us to assist you properly."
"We've consulted countless physicians who've visited you at home, yet no renowned doctor could diagnose this peculiar ailment. Frankly, your condition resembles an infectious disease. If you weren't otherwise... unaffected, I might suspect something far worse!"
Wen Chunlan assisted Mu Shini to the sofa, her brow furrowed. "The Bao Family requires a marriage to ward off ill fortune. You remain unaware of the cause of your strange illness, and we are all deeply concerned! Marrying into the Bao Family might just serve to dispel the bad luck for both families! Who knows, it might even cure your peculiar condition!"
"Aunt Wen, I do not wish to marry into the Bao Family!" Mu Shini's face went ashen at the suggestion.
"Shini, be reasonable! I've cared for you in your mother's stead. Now, the Mu Family desperately needs funds. Do you want your father and the entire family to end up destitute?" Wen Chunlan fixed her gaze on the pale-faced Mu Shini. "Shini, you are already betrothed to the Bao Family. Marrying into their household will ensure you are well provided for."
"Aunt Wen, but that man has been paralyzed from the waist down for years, confined to a wheelchair. He is a frail man; how can I marry him? I still wish to continue my studies; I don't want to get married so soon..."
Mu Shini now understood from her father and Wen Chunlan's conversation that the Mu Family saw no alternative but to rely on the Bao Family's financial backing through marriage to navigate their current crisis.
However, becoming the wife of the Second Young Master of the Bao Family meant abandoning her studies and facing a future of caring for a permanently disabled husband.
She yearned for a life with possibilities, not one devoid of hope.
Moreover, she already had a boyfriend; how could she possibly marry the Bao Family's Second Young Master?
"Shini, this decision is made. If you possess any filial piety, please take your household registration and ID card to the Civil Affairs Bureau at 2:30 PM. The Bao Family will also be present at that time. Once you and Bo Sishen obtain the marriage certificate, our Mu Family will receive 1 billion in emergency funding..."
...
Mu Shini had no idea how she managed to leave the Mu residence.
Her initial plan was to find Ye Shaochen, but his phone went unanswered.
Resorting to a taxi, she made her way to Ye Shaochen's villa.
Familiar with the villa's access code and finding the guards absent from their posts, she entered the premises after typing in the code.
Upon pushing open the door to the main residence of the villa, a scene of utter disarray greeted her, with garments scattered across the floor, both male and female.
Mu Shini, standing at the threshold, her eyes crimson, could not fail to notice the naked man and woman entwined upon the bed. Gripping the door frame, her entire frame quivered uncontrollably.
A wave of nausea washed over Mu Shini, causing her to double over and retch. The sound of her heaving brought the couple on the bed to a sudden halt. They ceased their activity, turning their heads towards Mu Shini, who stood frozen in the doorway.
"Nian Nian, why...why are you here?"
Ye Shaochen scrambled out of bed, fumbling to put on his clothes in his haste.
Meanwhile, the young woman behind him slowly donned her attire, a flicker of irritation crossing her features at the interruption!
Mu Shini drew a ragged breath, her small fists clenching so tightly that her fingernails dug painfully into her flesh.
Just as she began to turn away, Ye Shaochen lunged forward, seizing her wrist. His gaze fell upon her face, once gentle but now etched with cold fury. Panic seized him. "Nian Nian, listen to me, it's not what you think, I..."
"What further explanations could you possibly offer? Ha! I witnessed the entire scene with my own eyes! Ye Shaochen, the woman on that bed, she is my own half-sister! And you actually slept with her!"
Mu Shini regarded Ye Shaochen with utter contempt. Her glare then shifted to the smug Mu Xuerou on the bed. "I was mistaken about you! Ye Shaochen, we are finished!"
Mu Xuerou, her own sister, had a history of coveting everything she possessed since childhood. Now, Mu Xuerou had stooped to stealing her boyfriend!
No!
This wasn't mere 'stealing'! Ye Shaochen was a man of such low character, easily swayed, that she no longer desired him!
