Chapter 5: This is my husband

"Lin Ruanru, despite being an assassin, is well-versed in seeking help.

Faced with so many servants, she might not necessarily escape easily. Since there is someone who can help her nearby, she certainly won't foolishly shoulder the burden alone.

Learning to get those around her to assist in completing tasks is also a required course for an assassin.

Although she is tall and slender, standing behind this towering man, she can also emit a somewhat dependent aura.

Coupled with her tender and trembling voice, she interprets the image of a weak woman vividly.

"She doesn't want to." The big man's hand reached behind and gently patted Lin Ruanru's hand.

Just a light pat instilled a strong sense of security. Lin Ruanru pursed her lips; she had indeed made the right decision.

"Whether she wants to or not, her mother-in-law has already accepted payment from our master, making her our master's property."

The servant who spoke shifted his grip on the cudgel and swallowed loudly.

Although the man in front of her looked strong, if they didn't take this stuttering person back, they would have a hard time.

With so many people, can't they deal with one person?

"Your family took the money?" The man suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Ruanru, who was still smiling triumphantly.

The sudden question caught Lin Ruanru off guard.

"No... no... it's not me." Her eyes darted around, finally managing to say those uncertain words.

"Hmm?" The man pursed his lips, his gaze deep and seemingly analyzing the credibility of her words.

"What do you mean it's not you? Your mother-in-law has already taken ten taels of silver from our master." The servant widened his eyes and shouted.

"St.. st.. stop..." Lin Ruanru feared the man in front of her would ignore her, so she quickly pulled out the letter of divorce from herself.

"Stopped? Can that be useful? Your mother-in-law only wrote the divorce after taking the money, so your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are playing with our master."

The servants chuckled disdainfully, paying no attention to the letter in her hand.

Except for the man standing in front of her. He first glanced at what Lin Ruanru held in her hand, then picked it up and looked at it.

"It is indeed a divorce letter. Since she's divorced, what concern is it of hers if the Fu family took the money."

Lin Ruanru was overjoyed; finally, there was someone reasonable.

"We can't handle this; we only know we have to take her back. Young man, you seem capable. Why make enemies with the Ding family over a widow with a stutter."

The servants held onto their cudgels without relaxing, slowly dispersing one by one, all looking for an opportunity to charge forward.

"N.. no..." Lin Ruanru panicked and pulled on the man's clothes again.

She wanted to say she wouldn't go to Ding's house, but the more excited she became, the more uncontrollable her tongue, and the more she stuttered.

"Little widow, you better come with us. Look at your emaciated appearance; you must have never eaten a full meal. Our master has money and food; as long as you go, he will definitely fatten you up."

Seeing the man not speaking, the servants thought he was hesitating. The servants tightened their grip on their cudgels and simultaneously took a step forward, already surrounding Lin Ruanru and the man.

Lin Ruanru's heart sank. Whoever cares if Ding's master has money or food, whoever wants to be his concubine can go, but she won't.

But these servants didn't acknowledge the divorce letter, which could be troublesome.

After thinking about it, she suddenly leaned forward. She grabbed the man frowning in front of her and tiptoed to bring her lips close to his.

Her faint pink lips touched the stubbly face of the man, lightly pecking him like a chick pecking grains.

"Hus... hus... husband... I... I... won't go."

Before the man could recover, she called him husband. This sudden kiss and calling him husband directly stunned the man.

Not only did Lin Ruanru kiss him, but she also intimately hugged the man's arm, pulling his entire person into her embrace.

Since Ding's master had set his eyes on her as an untouched widow, she might as well marry herself off now.

Compared to an old man who was halfway to his grave, she'd rather marry the man in front him

"It was clear she was better suited to be his wife. But this was just her temporary plan. Once she scared off Ding's household servants, she would explain everything to this man.

Her stuttered 'husband' not only stunned the man protecting her, but also left the several servants holding wooden sticks wide-mouthed in surprise.

"What did you call me?" The man took a deep breath and asked solemnly.

"Hus... hus... husband, the jade... jade... jade pendant." Lin Ruanru meant that since the jade pendant left by his mother was now in her possession, she would temporarily play the role of this man's wife

But her stuttering prevented her from explaining clearly. These four words, in the man's ears, took on a different meaning.

The man furrowed his brow, coldly staring at this stuttering widow.

Bai Cheng'an had lived almost twenty years and had never encountered such a carefree woman.

He had kindly saved her, only to be blackmailed with a jade pendant and have her press herself against him. Narrowing his eyes, he regretted rescuing this heartless woman.

"No, what do you mean, what are you trying to say?"

The lead servant was the first to come to his senses. He had never seen such shameless behavior from a woman before, actually leaning into a man like that and making such an indecent gesture.

"N... not the Fu family, my... my... my husband."

Holding Bai Cheng'an's arm, Lin Ruanru blushed and stuttered for a long time before finishing her sentence.

"Are you saying you want to be his wife?" The servant was astonished.

Lin Ruanru gave him an approving look and nodded affirmatively.

"You've already been sold to our master. How could you be someone else's wife?"

Before the servant finished speaking, Lin Ruanru tiptoed and pecked Bai Cheng'an on the lips.

"I... I... I've already... we've already... consummated."

Snuggling against the man's stiff chest, Lin Ruanru persisted in her boldness.

"You shameless widow, you only ran out of the Fu family half a day ago, and you've already found some wild man."

The servant frowned in disdain, looking at this stuttering woman.

But Lin Ruanru paid no mind to being called shameless.

As long as they didn't take her to Ding's master's house, she didn't care about her reputation.

"Did you really consummate with this wild man?" The servant asked again.

Seeing his doubt, Lin Ruanru didn't hesitate, kissing Bai Cheng'an on the mouth again.

Three kisses in a row left Bai Cheng'an, who was protecting her, dumbfounded. His face was redder than a cooked shrimp, and his eyes contained a hint of anger.

He never expected that his slight compassion would save such a woman. Not only did she use the jade pendant to blackmail him, but she also took advantage of him repeatedly.

At this point, he had to grip Lin Ruanru's hand with more force.

This action, in the eyes of the servants, confirmed Lin Ruanru's words.

"Damn it! Shameless couple!" He spat fiercely, and the servants turned their heads again.

"Even if you consummated, it doesn't matter. You have to come back with us. Taking our master's silver and thinking you can just walk away, what a dream!"
