Chapter 1

"What? What marriage contract?"

My typing suddenly stopped, and blood rushed to my head.

"How come I didn't know I had a marriage contract with Li Jiuzhou?!"

My best friend sent a dumbfounded emoji.

"Didn't your dad tell you? My brother said if you agreed to marry him, he'd invest a hundred million in your family's little failing business."

Oh my god! No wonder my dad asked me to make time to go home!

I sat up from the bed in a hurry, "Why didn't you mention something so important earlier? Don't you know Li Fei..."

Before I could send the message, I was wrapped in a warm, solid embrace.

A tingling sensation from kisses traveled down my back, and Li Fei's voice was slightly hoarse, his words filled with affection.

"Had a nightmare?"

As he spoke, his long hands at my waist started to wander freely upwards.

My heart pounded wildly, and instinctively, I grabbed his hand, my mind a complete blank.

His body stiffened, and he turned me around to face him, his eyes full of hurt.

The corners of his eyes were slightly downcast and wet, with a sleepy haze.

In action movies, the male lead always likes to make the female lead call him daddy. I never understood why until last night when I made him call me mommy in a cutesy voice.

But who would've thought that little brother has such strength and willingness.

Until I was like a worn-out rag, unable to even crawl, and he still wasn't satisfied, turning me over and over.

Li Fei really is a deadly weapon.

"What's wrong? Did I accidentally hurt you? Let me take a look."

Worry filled his eyes, and he was about to lay me down to check.

"No, it's not that." Embarrassed, I flushed a deep red, clumsily covering my body with the blanket.

I remembered my best friend's wise words.

"A healthy relationship is certainly precious, but an unconventional one is truly thrilling."

Honestly, seeing those puppy eyes on this door-wide little brother, looking up at you so pitifully, who wouldn't fall for that?

The key is, in front of others, he's like a flower on a high mountain, expressionless in public, yet sending you shivering texts!

With this thought, a chill ran down my spine, and another similar face flashed in my mind.

Li Jiuzhou, the youngest head of the group, domineering and mad.

His methods are ruthless, and he hates being defied. What he can't get, he destroys.

My family is just a small third-rate one, not even worth ants in his eyes. It's obvious that my dad risked everything for the Li Group's marriage contract.

And that's a hundred million!

Heaven or hell, it's probably up to me now.

But my best friend just had to go out and play, leaving me to take care of her little brother, and this brat just wouldn't behave.

He's been clinging to me for half a year now, and we've done everything from bananas to grapes to apples! How can I stop now?!

The happier I am with Li Fei, the more Li Jiuzhou can crush my family into dust.

I took a deep breath, forcing myself not to panic.

Anyway, Li Fei has never asked for anything formal, maybe he's just playing around, rich young master and all, it's normal, normal.

Instantly feeling a bit comforted, I obediently let him pull me back into his arms, burying my face in his neck and taking a sniff.

Refreshing yet with a warm puppy scent.

Hee hee, can't be honest even a bit.

I caught sight of the phone screen lighting up again, my best friend's WeChat message popping up.

I didn't click to read the full text, but the opening line was: "I heard my brother set the wedding date for the beginning of next month, better prepare..."

Buzz buzz—a new message.

"It seems this time, he's serious."
