18 Lets get married (1/2)

The cold silence lingered inside the room but Xiu still continued to look into Lu Jian's eyes waiting for her answer. It was not because she wanted to finish the wish of that selfish person but genuine curiosity regarding this man.

From the memories of her past self she knew Lu Jian was not a man who would waste his time on things he is not interested in. The best example was her other half of the soul so why is this ice block suddenly showing so much interest in her?

Is he secretly a masochist?

Lu Jian was also assessing Xiu and when he saw that she would not stop eyeing him till he gave her an answer he decided to give in and ask the question bugging him from the last night.

”Let's get married then I will give you the answer.”

Xiu was incredulous to hear this statement. She confirmed her thoughts that Lu Jian is really a masochist and the most eager at that.

”Are you out of your mind? Beside we are already married. You still don't believe that I am your wife then why are you even here?”

Xiu decided to take a chance now and convince him of her identity so that she will be able to complete the wish of selfish ghost and be able to go out from this god forsaken situation.

”I will prove it you that I am Xiu your wife.”

Xiu then tried letting some tears fall from her eyes so that her act looks convincing.

”Do you remember how I wanted to please you and suffered from all the taunts of your mother. You will say that it is common knowledge and everyone will know of this matter but I will tell you the insidious thing which is only known by you and your family.”

She told him how his mother wanted Lu Jian to marry Shen Rui because of their status and how at every time she would send Shen Rui in his room where she the wife was not allowed to go in.

How she was never treated as his wife but less than a servant?

Lu Jian listened to all her words but still did not believe her. As all these information can be found if someone will investigate carefully so how can he believe her?

”What? You still think that I am fake then I will tell you this thing too. Your dear mom accused me of having an affair with your grandpa and your dad. Did you remember? How she was insulting me at that night? In your family only your dad was good to me but your scoundrel mother was accusing me of having an illicit relationship with your father. Is it also wrong? You tell me.” Xiu huffed and breathed calmly.
