Li Wangshu had known for a long time that He Yu’s mental state was not normal.
But she never expected him to be this extreme.
This man really did whatever came to his mind.
For example, taking her to the hospital in the middle of the night for a full-body examination.
…
The examination results came out quite quickly.
“Miss Li, your body is healthy, and all your indicators are normal. However, your leg condition is more serious.”
The doctor looked kind and approachable. He seemed to have no complaints about working overtime in the middle of the night.
“It should have been a severe fracture in the past. Although surgery was performed to realign the bones, the technique was relatively rough, and there are serious long-term complications.”
“Although a lot of time has passed and treatment will be more painful, if you want a complete recovery, we still recommend that you undergo corrective surgery as soon as possible.”
Over the years, Li Wangshu had already made peace with her imperfections.
She didn’t think this small flaw was a big deal.
“I don’t need treatment. I don’t feel any inconvenience in daily life.”
She could even use it as an excuse to skip physical education classes.
“Even if you don’t care about appearance, you still experience occasional pain, right? Especially when the weather is rainy or cloudy, the pain becomes worse.”
The doctor completely ignored her resistance toward treatment and continued persuading her.
“The nerves have already been damaged. If you leave it untreated, it will continue getting worse. If you wait until you’re older to treat it, it may be too late.”
“Then treat it.”
He Yu directly made the decision.
He even immediately started arranging hospitalization.
“Wait!”
Li Wangshu was somewhat speechless at the overbearing CEO’s decisive attitude.
Knowing that arguing would not change the outcome, she could only try to delay the surgery until she had a holiday.
“It has already been like this for so many years. There’s no need to rush for this moment.”
“There will be a long holiday after one week. Doctor, if you include the time before and after surgery, can I take about ten days off? Is that enough?”
“Hmm. You should be able to leave the hospital after about a week. However, since it involves bones and muscles, you may need to use a wheelchair for at least half a year.”
“Ah?”
Li Wangshu thought about it.
That would really be inconvenient.
The teaching buildings had elevators, but the dormitory did not.
“It’s decided. Come back for surgery one week later.”
After saying that, He Yu carried Li Wangshu into the car and brought her back to his apartment.
…
“I can walk by myself!”
Li Wangshu strongly objected.
“The doctor said you should walk as little as possible.”
For the first time in his life, He Yu learned what it meant to follow a doctor’s instructions.
“Then couldn’t you use another method? Like carrying me princess-style? Huh? I’m not a sack!”
Li Wangshu was about to go crazy.
Why did this man like carrying people so much?
“Your dress is inconvenient. If I carried you like that, you would expose yourself.”
He Yu threw Li Wangshu onto the bed, then reached over to help her take off her clothes.
Li Wangshu was so frightened that she performed an instant retreat, moving backward until she reached the head of the bed with nowhere else to go.
“What are you doing?!”
Her defensive posture was obvious.
“Don’t you like me?”
He Yu looked confused.
“If you won’t even let me touch you, what kind of liking is that?”
“We’ve only known each other for a few days!”
Li Wangshu grabbed the pillow beside her and threw it at him.
“How can you act like this?”
“You’ve already kissed me. And you were the one who initiated it.”
He Yu blocked the pillow away.
He crossed his arms and looked at her unhappily.
“Don’t you want to know what your brother talked about today?”
“About two months ago, on the day you turned eighteen, my father sent people to the Ji family with an engagement gift.”
“The Ji family accepted it, which means they agreed to our marriage.”
“……”
Li Wangshu widened her eyes.
“Your family’s engagement gift wasn’t given to me.”
“What? Do you wish it wasn’t you?”
Li Wangshu almost bit her tongue.
She felt like she had just lifted a rock and dropped it on her own foot.
“Regardless of whether I wished for it or not, the fact is that the person the engagement gift was given to wasn’t me.”
“No. It was you.”
He Yu completely refused to let her argue.
“The reason my father went to the Ji family to arrange the engagement was because a fortune teller told him that only a daughter of the Ji family could suppress the dangerous energy on my body.”
“Your and Ji Mo’s birthdays are actually one day apart, so the birth details he received belonged to you.”
Li Wangshu gritted her teeth.
“Moon, you were destined to be mine.”
Like a wild beast, He Yu leaned forward and pushed her back against the headboard again.
“You can’t escape.”
Li Wangshu turned her head away and refused to look at him.
“The Ji family never told me about this.”
“So you’re upset because of the Ji family.”
He Yu’s expression became slightly better.
“Fine. When winter vacation comes, I’ll go with you to Xilin and formally propose marriage to your family.”
“I just turned eighteen!”
Li Wangshu forcefully suppressed her urge to curse.
“I want to date. I want to enjoy my university life. I want to study hard and improve myself!”
“You can still date after getting engaged.”
He Yu frowned.
“You don’t still want to date someone else, do you? That’s not allowed.”
“You’re crazy! Who gets engaged that early?”
“When you turn twenty, we’ll get our marriage certificate.”
He Yu didn’t think that was early at all.
“There are still two years left… Otherwise, we can go abroad and register our marriage now.”
“Get away from me. I don’t want to get engaged, and I definitely don’t want to get married!”
Li Wangshu finally crawled out from under him.
“I like you, but even if I like you a lot, I still can’t do this!”
“Why?”
When He Yu stared at someone, his dark eyes carried an intense pressure.
It was difficult for anyone to remain calm under that gaze.
For example, Ji Lian was already hiding in the corner trembling.
“Because I don’t want to!”
Li Wangshu glared back fiercely.
Her answer was confident and reasonable.
“We’ve only known each other for two months. The actual time we’ve spent together is only two or three days.”
“He Yu, do you understand me?”
“You already want to talk about marriage with me?”
“Huh?”
“Your kind of family… if we divorce in the future, it probably won’t be easy, right?”
“If you regret it later but can’t leave, what will we do?”
“Become a resentful couple?”
…
He Yu stood up.
He took out a set of pajamas from the nearby wardrobe and threw them into Li Wangshu’s arms.
“If you don’t want me to help, change your clothes yourself. Go take a shower.”
Then he actually walked out.
Wait… weren’t we arguing? Why did he just leave?
I haven’t even finished making my points!
…
“He really does have a problem.”
Li Wangshu struggled to take off the formal dress, removed her makeup, and took a shower.
The clothes He Yu gave her actually fit quite well.
She didn’t know when he had prepared them.
“Since you’re going to marry him sooner or later, just agree.”
Ji Lian completely didn’t understand what Li Wangshu was worried about.
She really didn’t want to provoke that man again.
She was genuinely scared of him.
“You two getting married means the third mission will be half completed.”
“No! I’m not marrying him!”
Li Wangshu looked like she was planning to break the agreement.
“This man is a potential criminal outside the law! Being with him won’t end well.”
“No. If you don’t marry him, you really will die three years later.”
“I didn’t say I won’t marry him. But I can’t marry him now.”
Thinking about having only three years left, Li Wangshu almost cried.
She hadn’t even graduated from university yet.
“Before marrying him, he must first be reformed.”
“He needs to become a normal person again!”
Li Wangshu absolutely did not want to complete the marriage mission only to end up with both husband and wife in prison.
…
When Li Wangshu came out of the bathroom, she discovered that He Yu had already changed clothes and was lying on the bed.
The moment she moved closer to the edge of the bed, he grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.
“I’ll let you hug me, but you can’t do anything else.”
Li Wangshu chose to compromise.
He Yu let out a mocking laugh.
“Fine. If you don’t let me touch you, then forget it. Who cares?”
The person who claimed he didn’t care ended up not letting go of her the entire night.
…
Li Wangshu didn’t sleep very well this time.
She was thinking about the surgery.
Although she didn’t mind this imperfection, if she had the chance to heal completely, she naturally should take it.
However, considering the terrifyingly inflated prices in this world, treating her leg would probably cost an astronomical amount.
He Yu clearly had no intention of letting her pay the bill herself.
But she couldn’t pretend she knew nothing.
