Qin Yu’s tears fell like beads on the floor and she clung herself onto Ning Chen’s arm.

“Please, don’t chase me away!

“My sister said that if you don’t take an interest in me and send me back home, she will lock me up in the dark basement and never let me out again.

“I won’t ever get to eat my favorite soup dumplings anymore… Sob…”

Qin Yu cried as she spoke, so painfully that it seemed as though her heart was breaking. The bridal makeup on her face was now completely smeared, leaving her face in a mix of green and red.

She yanked Ning Chen’s sleeve and wiped it all over her face.

“Sigh…” Ning Chen was at a loss in this situation.

“Alright, don’t cry anymore. Let’s talk about this slowly, okay?”

“No, please! Please don’t chase me away!

“I’ll listen to you! I’ll eat less and work more!

“I don’t want to be locked up in a dark room and go hungry!”

Still grabbing onto Ning Chen’s shirt, Qin Yu wailed as she rubbed her face full of oil and cosmetics onto it.

It was a pity that he couldn’t see.

Ning Chen looked on helplessly and finally said, “Okay, Xiaoyu, be good. Don’t cry anymore. If you do it again, I’ll get mad!”

Qin Yu’s tantrum stopped abruptly.

“Are you trying to chase me away?” Qin Yu asked timidly.

As she said that, Ning Chen turned and studied her. For a moment, Qin Yu felt that Ning Chen could actually see her.

However, she blinked and her doubts disappeared again.

Ning Chen’s eyes were gorgeous, with long eyelashes. His pupils resembled black pearls, but their focus was always lost. It was such a pity.

Ning Chen asked calmly, “Xiaoyu, do you know why you were sent to our house?”

Qin Yu nodded quickly. “I know! I’m here to be your wife. In the future, I’ll be a member of your family, but if I die, I’ll be a ghost of your family instead!”

Qin Yu’s words were dry and straightforward.

Ning Chen could not help but frown. “Who taught you to say that?”

“My sister did! She’s really intelligent, it’s like she knows everything. Also, my mother loves her very much and will agree to anything she says.

“She told me that if I make you happy, I won’t ever starve again for the rest of my life.”

“Have you ever been denied your meals?” Ning Chen could not help but ask.

Qin Yu replied innocently, nodding yet again. “Yes. Those who did something wrong are not allowed to eat, and they have to be locked up in the small dark room in the basement of the house!”

“Something wrong? What kind of wrong?”

Qin Yu tilted her head sideways and thought for a long time.

“Yes, that’s right. If my sister says it’s wrong, it means it’s wrong. I won’t be allowed food, and I have to stay quietly in the dull basement.”

Ning Chen’s frown deepened as he continued to press her on.
