Chapter 1

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was a quiet night, and the lights in an ordinary two-story villa in the capital city were brightly lit. One could possibly hear someone sobbing if one paid close attention.

In the lit up living room, there were a few people with their faces ashen. Of course, except for the retard, Rong Qi, who had just been brought back to the country.

Rong Qi was barefooted, holding a Mashimaro in her arms. She blinked her eyes and looked at the few people who were crying curiously. She comforted, “Don’t cry, don’t cry, Qiqi’s here.”

After that, Rong Qi spat on her father, Rong Tianshi’s face.

“Go away! If you have nothing to do, go back to your room. Don’t be an eyesore here!” Rong Tianshi waved his hand in frustration and cursed.

Rong Qi trembled and hugged Rabbity in her arms tightly. She then turned to look at the other two people sitting beside her.

One of them was Rong Qi’s stepmother, Wang Qing, and the other was Rong Qi’s stepsister, Rong Feiyu.

Both Wang Qing and Rong Feiyu were still in tears as they looked at Rong Qi, who was doing nothing. They were furious and wanted to scold Rong Qi, but at that moment, a voice came from the door.

“Mr. Rong, Madam, bad news! Someone from the Ye family is here!”

“What?”

Everyone in the living room was stunned.

Wang Qing took Rong Feiyu’s hand and led her into the room. “Feiyu, no matter what happens, don’t come out! Dad and I will think of a way!”

“Why are they here so soon?” Rong Tianshi scratched his head.

Just as Wang Qing had hidden Rong Feiyu, a representative from the Ye family barged in with a domineering attitude. Rong Tianshi quickly went up to welcome him.

The Ye family’s butler swept his gaze across the room and his gaze landed on Rong Qi for a moment. Then, he frowned and said, “Ms. Rong should have been sent to jail for killing a relative of the Ye family. However, my master said that he doesn’t intend to pursue the matter. He had already applied for a letter of understanding from the higher-ups. However—”

Rong Tianshi, who was about to heave a sigh of relief, gasped for air again when he heard what the butler said.

“In order for Ms. Rong to atone for her sins, my master has decided to let her marry into the Ye family and serve our second young master! I’ll be back for Ms. Rong in three days to pick her up.” Butler Ye continued.

“Wh-What?” Rong Tianshi could hardly believe his ears.

However, the Ye family’s butler did not elaborate further and left after he had delivered his message.

As soon as the Ye family’s butler left, Rong Feiyu, who was eavesdropping in the room, instantly broke down. She opened the door and shouted, “No, I won’t do it! I won’t marry him! Who in the entire capital didn’t know that the second young master of the Ye family was a cripple with poor health and a short lifespan? Marrying him was equivalent to being a widow! I won’t marry him, I won’t!”

Rong Tianshi clenched his fists and said, “What else can you do? You’ll go to jail if you don’t! Didn’t you hear what that Ye family’s butler said just now?”

Rong Feiyu shook her head desperately, her whole body expressing her rejection. She cried loudly in Wang Qing’s arms.

Suddenly, Rong Feiyu thought of someone and suggested, “Didn’t we have Rong Qi? If they wanted a bride, let that retard marry him! A retard and a cripple, what a perfect match! I won’t marry him. I won’t marry him even if I have to die!”

After listening to Rong Feiyu’s suggestion, Wang Qing reacted instantly. “She’s right. Feiyu is so obedient. How could you push her into the fire? Rong Qi was a retard anyway. At least she wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing if she married him. Why don’t we…”

Rong Qi, who was watching TV with Rabbity in her arms, heard her name was mentioned. A strange look flashed across her face, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly as she watched quietly.
