Luo Chenxi is forced by her father to take her deceased sister's place and marry into the powerful Mu family. Her father threatens her with the well-being of her foster mother to ensure her compliance. After agreeing, Luo Chenxi drinks a glass of wine offered by her father before her groom arrives.

2 You Mean Nothing To Me!

Following Luo Anguo's departure, Luo Chenxi retrieved two printed copies of the nuptial agreement from her handbag. She harbored absolutely no intention of complying with Luo Anguo's wishes. Earlier inquiries about Young Master Mu revealed that he already had a daughter and no desire for marriage. The wedding was ultimately arranged because Mu Yichen's grandmother, gravely ill, expressed a final wish to witness her favorite eldest grandson wed. Consequently, Mu Yichen reluctantly consented. This situation was perfect for Luo Chenxi, as she had no desire to act as a surrogate for another or spend her life with a man she didn't love. She was confident he would agree to sign her prenuptial... no, postnuptial agreement. Wouldn't he?

The more Luo Chenxi contemplated this, the more uneasy and feverish she felt. In fact, she found it increasingly difficult to breathe. "What is happening? Is the air conditioning set too high?" Luo Chenxi felt a wave of dizziness, sensing that something was amiss. Just as she stood up, she heard footsteps approaching from the corridor…

Bang!

The door was pushed open forcefully. Mu Yichen stood framed in the doorway, his gaze directed at her with coldness. Despite his somber expression, his handsome features remained undiminished. Luo Chenxi, a woman with an appreciation for attractive men, was instantly captivated. It was said that Young Master Mu's visage could awe the heavens; he was lauded as the peerless prince of the human world and bore the esteemed title of 'national husband.' He certainly lived up to his reputation!

Noticing the man's lips curl in apparent disgust, she refocused. "Mr. Mu, you've arrived at an opportune moment. I have something to discuss with you…"

However, as she looked up, Mu Yichen cut her off mercilessly. "Luo Chenxi, I have no interest in your nonsensical ramblings. I am here today to issue a warning. Do not assume you are now the young mistress of the Mu family simply because you employed some scheme to marry me. You signify nothing to me! I am aware of all your clandestine actions!" "I didn't mean to…" Luo Chenxi attempted to speak again, only to be interrupted once more.

"It would be best if you behaved yourself. Conduct yourself properly so as not to bring embarrassment to our Mu family in front of outsiders! Furthermore, maintain a significant distance from me. Do not appear within my sight. Otherwise, I will take actions that will make you profoundly regret your decision!" Mu Yichen was completely oblivious to her reaction. His sole concern was to teach her a lesson. Her face turned a ghastly shade of green, her expression contorted with rage. He hadn't even allowed her to finish her words! Damn it! What kind of scoundrel is he? A complete jerk?

As Luo Chenxi watched Mu Yichen turn to leave the room, an overwhelming urge to lash out in frustration surged within her. Finally, the words burst forth. "Mu Yichen, stop right there!" She rose impulsively, intending to pursue him. However, her legs suddenly grew weak, and she collapsed to the ground. A loud thud echoed. Damn it… that hurt!

Tears welled up in Luo Chenxi's eyes from the pain. Meanwhile, her earth-shattering cry did manage to halt Mu Yichen in his tracks. He turned, his gaze falling upon the woman sprawled on the floor, his expression darkening further. "The method you employed to gain my attention today is quite unlike your usual tactics. It's a shame it proves utterly useless!"

Upon hearing his disdainful mockery, Luo Chenxi lifted her head to glare at the arrogant Mu Yichen. "Aren't you the one who's excessively narcissistic? Which of your eyes saw me attempting to gain your attention, huh?"

"Both of my eyes did," Mu Yichen replied smoothly. His intuition strongly suggested that something was amiss with this woman today. "D*mn you, woman! Get up quickly!"

Mu Yichen felt a throbbing sensation in his head, wondering if it was due to excessive drinking at the wedding banquet. His eyebrows twitched as he observed Luo Chenxi struggling to rise slowly. He strode swiftly towards her and pulled her up roughly. "Ouch!"

As he grasped Luo Chenxi's wrist, she attempted to stand with his support, but to her surprise, a wave of soreness and overall weakness overwhelmed her entire body. Reacting instinctively, she stumbled into him. Caught completely off guard, he was instantly pulled down to the ground with her. "Luo! Chen! Xin!"

Hearing Mu Yichen's exasperated voice ringing in her ears, Luo Chenxi felt an urge to weep from sheer frustration, yet she could not. For goodness sake, she desperately wished to be far away from Mu Yichen! Instead, she had fallen twice in quick succession.

"What are you staring at? Get up. Now!" Mu Yichen's fury was already palpable. "I am getting up! Why are you being so rough? Do you think I actually enjoy being this close to you?" As she voiced this, she attempted to rise by pushing off the ground. However, she discovered she lacked the strength to do so. She managed to lift herself slightly before her arms gave out, and she collapsed back down. Plop.

She fell back onto the man beneath her once more. Seeing Mu Yichen bite his lip to suppress his rage, she quickly tried to explain, "I... I'm sorry! I'm getting up right now... right now..."

Yet, her body grew weaker and her mind foggier. Luo Chenxi shook her head, trying to clear it. Mu Yichen spoke through gritted teeth, "Are you getting up or not?! Luo Chenxin, I'm warning you. You'll regret it if you don't!"

Fueled by anger and anxiety, Luo Chenxi felt like she could vomit blood from her frustration. "You, you, you... Don't you have legs and arms? I don't have the strength to get up. You get up yourself then!"

Veins throbbed on Mu Yichen's forehead. If he could stand, he would have done so already! This had to be this woman's devious scheme. She probably faked a fall to try and seduce me!

Mu Yichen's body temperature climbed higher and higher. His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed, his gaze fixed on the limp, alluring woman on top of him. His voice dropped to a gravelly growl, "Woman, you are asking for trouble..."
