Lu Qiance couldn’t help but chuckle. He leaned over and kissed her cheek again.
“Of course you’ll come with me. Even if you change your mind this time, I’ll carry you away and keep you tucked safely in my pocket!”
A dangerous glint flickered in his eyes as he pulled the woman in his arms even closer.
Lu Qiance knew that the reason Sang Qing had schemed to marry him was because she admired his status and family background.
And he was grateful that he possessed something she desired.
So he carefully concealed his true nature, never allowing this delicate young woman to see the dark, obsessive side of him.
If she liked his status, then he’d climb even higher and give her the very best of everything.
He didn’t expect her to fall in love with him.
But he would make sure that, other than him, she would never choose another man.
His eyelids lowered slightly as he brushed his nose against the soft skin behind her ear.
Beneath his respectable exterior churned an overwhelming desire…
“Wife…”
“Let me take good care of you, alright?”
His warm breath brushed lightly against her ear, making Sang Qing shiver.
She was about to refuse.
Then she remembered that she’d just asked him to take her along to his military posting.
Wouldn’t rejecting him now make her seem a little heartless?
She secretly glanced at Lu Qiance.
Only to find him staring at her expectantly.
Sang Qing: “…”
“Wife~”
Lu Qiance didn’t press her for an answer.
Instead, he continued placing gentle kisses along her neck.
Unable to endure his relentless attention any longer, Sang Qing grabbed his collar and fiercely bit him.
Lu Qiance’s eyes lit up instantly.
“Wife, you’re in the mood again?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Sang Qing rolled her eyes.
“But if you don’t serve me well today, you’ll regret it!”
As she spoke, she pinched his waist.
Then she realized…
He…
“You… you…”
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Qiance flipped her onto the bed in one swift motion.
No longer bothering to hide the desire blazing in his eyes, he showered the little beauty in his arms with kisses from head to toe.
His overwhelming possessiveness drove him to kiss every inch of her, from the tips of her ears all the way down to her toes.
Not a single place escaped him.
“L-Lu…”
Sang Qing’s eyes reddened at the corners from all the kissing.
Clutching a pillow, she panted softly, wishing she could crawl into a hole and disappear.
H-How could he kiss everywhere?
She glared at him indignantly.
The man only let out a hoarse chuckle.
“Wife…”
“Don’t tempt me anymore.”
“Otherwise, you won’t be getting out of bed today.”
Sang Qing: “…”
Hmph!
That bastard!
All he knew was how to bully her.
Once she drank the spiritual spring water, she’d definitely turn the tables.
Then she would be the one bullying Lu Qiance!
“Wife… what are you thinking about?”
His dangerously low voice sounded above her head, startling her.
Instinctively, she kicked at him.
He caught her ankle with ease.
His handsome eyes curved with amusement as he looked down at her.
“If my wife can still lose herself in thought at a time like this…”
“Then I clearly haven’t been serving you well enough.”
“I’ll correct that immediately.”
“N-No—”
She never got the chance to finish.
The rest of her protest was thoroughly silenced by Lu Qiance.
Before Sang Qing’s mind completely dissolved into a haze, only one thought remained.
Looks like there’s no going out today…
Meanwhile…
The three members of the Sang family whom Sang Qing had thrown out checked into the town guesthouse.
Originally, Sang Qingshan had planned to take Chu Lanhua and Sang Yanyan to the dormitory provided by his factory.
But the mother and daughter were afraid the factory workers would gossip about them and stubbornly refused.
With no other choice, Sang Qingshan settled them into the guesthouse.
He then doubled back toward the alley.
This time, however, he headed to a house several streets away from the Sang residence.
He knocked on the door several times before quickly hiding nearby.
When the wooden door finally opened, Sang Qingshan waved the person over before slipping back into the shadows of the alley.
Jiang Mengmeng frowned.
She closed the door behind her and walked over impatiently.
Ever since yesterday, she’d been feeling uneasy.
Earlier that day, a sharp pain in her chest had nearly caused her to faint.
Although she seemed fine now, her face remained somewhat pale.
Looking displeased, she asked,
“What are you doing here?”
“Didn’t we agree that unless I came looking for you, you weren’t supposed to contact me?”
She had transmigrated into this novel during the very first year the college entrance examinations resumed.
Eight years had already passed.
Yet she still hadn’t managed to escape the tiny Jiang family.
Other transmigration heroines started with spatial dimensions, spiritual springs, and endless supplies.
She, however, had only been saddled with a useless Wealth Accumulation System.
At the time, she had only been eleven years old.
She hadn’t even possessed fifty cents.
How was a child supposed to accumulate wealth?
Fortunately, knowing the plot had allowed her to secretly sell information to Sang Qingshan.
The money she earned enabled her to purchase an opportunity from the system’s shop to change its type.
Thus, the Wealth Accumulation System had become a Fortune-Stealing System.
She had successfully bound it to Sang Qing.
From that point on, every time she suppressed or humiliated Sang Qing, the system would steal Sang Qing’s fortune and transfer it to her.
After all, Sang Qing had always been destined to die as the novel’s vicious supporting female character.
Being useful to Jiang Mengmeng before her death could be considered a blessing.
Who told her to scheme against the novel’s male lead?
Jiang Mengmeng was merely collecting a little interest in advance.
Sang Qingshan’s expression darkened after hearing her tone.
Yes, he’d accomplished many things with her help.
But he’d also given her plenty of money over the years.
Now, when he came seeking her assistance, this was the attitude she gave him?
Frowning, he finally spoke.
“Sang Qing somehow found out about Chu Lanhua and me.”
“She gathered the clan elders and drove the three of us out of the Sang family.”
“Does the Immortal Master have any instructions?”
“What?!”
Jiang Mengmeng couldn’t believe her ears.
Sang Qingshan was actually so incompetent that he’d been thrown out of his own home by his daughter?
No wonder she’d suddenly felt ill.
Sang Qing’s fortune had increased again.
Her eyes narrowed dangerously.
“You’re her father.”
“She behaved so outrageously.”
“Didn’t the clan elders say anything?”
Sang Qingshan fell silent.
They had wanted to say something.
But that girl had been ruthless.
She’d brought so many people to back her up that even the clan elders hadn’t dared speak.
Choosing his words carefully, he replied,
“Well… Immortal Master…”
“I married into the Sang family.”
“Now that she’s married, she really does have the right to take charge of the household…”
Though unwilling to admit it, a live-in son-in-law who remarried after his wife’s death could indeed be expelled from the wife’s family.
He had only ignored that fact because Sang Qing had been young and ignorant.
Who could have imagined that the rebellious girl would immediately storm the house the moment she found someone powerful to support her?
Jiang Mengmeng was furious enough that her face nearly twisted.
The moment she thought of Lu Qiance, the anger burning inside her intensified even further.
She had spent years suppressing Sang Qing.
She’d been waiting for this very opportunity—for Sang Qing to drug Lu Qiance and utterly ruin her own reputation.
When that happened, Jiang Mengmeng would not only harvest a massive amount of fortune…
She would also earn Lu Qiance’s favor.
