Engagement Annulled? Now The Husbands Kneel and Beg for Her Favor

In the VIP room, the previously romantic atmosphere was shattered by an unexpected incident.

Expensive bone china tea sets and furniture had been overturned by the uninvited guest. Tea soaked the carpet, leaving a mess as chaotic as if a hurricane had passed through.

Gu Nian stared at the wreckage for a few seconds. When he looked up again, there was murder in his eyes.

”I went to so much trouble to prepare this,” Gu Nian said, his voice dangerously low. ”Is Jiang Youchen’s dog really this jealous?”

Across from him, the Gray Wolf Butler, dressed in a three-piece suit, sneered.

”You know perfectly well what you put in that tea.” Yi Nuo raised a hand, and gravity instantly pulverized the dregs of the tea. ”Despicable tactics.”

”Not as despicable as yours,” Gu Nian retorted with a twitch of his lips. ”Chasing me all the way here. It never ends.”

He had just gone through the trouble of preparing the tea, wanting to give his sister a surprise.

But as soon as it was ready, Yi Nuo knocked it all over. A complete waste!

’I just wanted to spend my first night with my sister, that’s all. Why is everything so difficult?’

Just as Gu Nian was about to speak, a powerful gravitational force crushed down on him.

The carefully chosen shirt tore almost instantly, and his skin bloomed with purple and blue bruises.

Gu Nian fell to one knee, his face contorted in pain.

Yi Nuo eased up on the force slightly, looking down on him as he said, ”Surrender now, and I might let you live.”

”How kind. That’s what Jiang Youchen said last time, too.”

The young man’s voice was sarcastic, yet it showed no sign of strain.

The next second, he vanished from the spot.

Yi Nuo was startled.

He suddenly realized the intelligence was wrong. Gu Nian’s Superpower wasn’t the Wind Ability shown in the files—it was a Space Ability!

He spun around to defend himself, but it was too late.

Gu Nian grabbed his arm from behind with one hand, cleanly dislocated it, and then kicked him to the ground before leaning over to seize him by the collar.

The seemingly delicate and beautiful young man now wore an expression of contempt and disgust that completely contradicted his appearance.

”So stupid. My sister must be far too kind to tolerate a piece of trash like you.”

Yi Nuo’s face was impassive. ”Someone who talks as much nonsense as you isn’t the Miss’s type, either.”

”What do you know?” Gu Nian couldn’t be bothered with him. He grabbed a shard of porcelain from nearby and held it to Yi Nuo’s neck.

Yi Nuo watched him with cold eyes, his free hand poised by his side, ready to strike.

Gu Nian said suddenly, ”Truth is, you find Jiang Youchen annoying too, don’t you?”

At his words, Yi Nuo stiffened slightly.

”He has no real connection to my sister, yet he shamelessly hangs around the Jiang Family, trying to control her life.”

Gu Nian added sharply, ”It’s disgusting.”

”How about this? I’ll spare your pathetic life, and then...” The young man’s lips curved into a smile, his pink pupils glinting with excited, bloodthirsty light. ”And then, we kill Jiang Youchen together.”

Yi Nuo answered with a single word: ”Impossible.”

”Then you can go die.”

His attempt at persuasion having failed, Gu Nian couldn’t be bothered to continue. The porcelain shard plunged straight down—

But just as it broke the skin, Gu Nian’s ears twitched.

The shard changed course in Gu Nian’s hand. He released Yi Nuo and deliberately sliced two bloody gashes into his own arm.

Yi Nuo’s expression grew heavy. Like Gu Nian, he too could clearly hear a young woman’s footsteps slowly approaching.

CREAK—

The door was pushed open from the outside by a slender hand.

Light streamed into the dim room, following the arc of the opening door.

The first thing Jiang Qingli saw was Gu Nian, sitting amidst the wreckage, weakly lifting his eyes.

The white-rabbit boy’s shirt was torn open, and several jarring scratches on his arm were bleeding. He cowered by the sofa, head bowed, his eyelashes trembling.

He looked like a poor, pitiful thing who had just been bullied.

Without a second thought, Jiang Qingli rushed over to him.

The moment her fingertips touched Gu Nian’s arm, he flinched. He looked up in terror, only relaxing when he saw who it was. ”Sister...” he mumbled under his breath.

”What happened?” Seeing him in this state, Jiang Qingli’s heart ached. ”Did someone hurt you?”

”Mm... A group of people came in all of a sudden. I think they were looking for something. After tearing the place apart and not finding it, they beat me up and left...” Gu Nian looked down at his fingers intertwined with Jiang Qingli’s and said softly, ”It’s okay, sister. It doesn’t hurt.”

’He was in this state, yet he was trying to comfort me.’

Jiang Qingli felt herself being swallowed by guilt.

’How could I have trusted this unscrupulous auction house and left a weak little rabbit here all by himself...?’

She turned on the lights and began searching for medical supplies.

Fortunately, to prevent VIPs from going too far and killing their ”pets,” the room was well-stocked with medicine.

After reading the instructions, Jiang Qingli told Gu Nian to take off his shirt.

”Right now?” The young man’s eyelashes fluttered, his knuckles tightened, and a shy pink blush quickly spread across his cheeks. ”Shouldn’t we... change rooms?”

”It’s fine. The security system is back online, so no one else will come in. We can treat your wounds right here,” Jiang Qingli said.

Gu Nian: ”...”

Gu Nian pressed his lips together and let out a slightly disappointed, ”Oh,” before slowly unbuttoning his shirt.

As he moved, the blood continued to flow.

The young man seemed unfazed by the bleeding, but Jiang Qingli watched in horror. She quickly stopped him, found a dagger, and carefully cut off his sleeve.

Her handiwork left the beautiful shirt with one sleeve missing, making it look rather odd.

Gu Nian, however, seemed to find it amusing. He praised her with a grin, ”Sister, you made the shirt look even better.”

”If you like nice things, I can buy you many more in the future.” Jiang Qingli began to disinfect his wound. ”Brace yourself, okay? This might sting a little.”

Gu Nian gazed at her profile and said softly, ”Rabbits have the highest pain tolerance, sister.”

This sentence reminded Jiang Qingli of the auctioneer’s sales pitch from earlier. Her hand trembled, and she nearly poked the wound with the medicine.

Gu Nian blinked, the corners of his lips curling into a tiny smirk.

’My sister is so shy.’

’I like it.’

He thoughtfully changed the subject, asking as if he had no idea, ”Sister, what are you doing here?”

”I came to get you.”

”You’re so good to me, sister.” The blush on Gu Nian’s face deepened, his expression as sweet as honey.

”It’s what I should do.”

After finishing with the medicine, Jiang Qingli pinched his cheek.

’It’s a little strange... The young man is covered in injuries, but his face is completely unscathed. Still so beautiful...’

Just as the doubt surfaced, Gu Nian suddenly interrupted her thoughts. ”Sister, would you like to take a shower? There are clothes here.”

He lowered his head guiltily. ”I’m sorry. You got blood on you because of me.”

Jiang Qingli looked down and saw that there were indeed some bloodstains on her arm.

She waved her hand and said it was nothing, but she couldn’t refuse Gu Nian’s insistence.

After the little rabbit’s pleading, calling her ”sister” this and ”sister” that, Jiang Qingli reluctantly entered the bathroom.

The sound of running water filled the air, and steam began to cloud the room.

Once he was sure the bathroom door was closed, Gu Nian glanced at the corner where Yi Nuo was hiding and said coldly, ”How long are you going to keep watching?”

Yi Nuo stepped out of the shadows, his presence radiating a freezing aura.

The whiplash was immense, having just watched the fierce Beastman he’d traded dozens of blows with suddenly transform into a little white rabbit, squeezing out tears and acting cute for the Miss.

Gu Nian asked, ”Why haven’t you left? Are you waiting to see how my sister is going to favor me?”

”You—” Yi Nuo took a deep breath, strode up to him, and grabbed him by the collar, his eyes churning with fury.

Having witnessed the methods of several Beast Husbands, the Gray Wolf Butler clenched his jaw and cursed viciously, ”You have no shame!”

But cursing was one thing; Yi Nuo knew he had lost his chance to make a move on Gu Nian today.

He lingered no longer, pushing the door open and striding away.

At the corner of the hallway, Yi Nuo ran into Baili Jing, who was approaching with an elegant gait.

Baili Jing wasn’t surprised to see Yi Nuo.

He simply glanced at his disheveled state and asked, ”You failed?”

Yi Nuo wasn’t surprised that he knew. He nodded. ”Yes.”

Baili Jing was more concerned about something else. ”Is Xiao Li with him now?”

The light in Yi Nuo’s eyes dimmed. ”Yes.”

The two men passed each other.

The smile on Baili Jing’s face vanished.

He quickened his pace, heading for the suite.

When Baili Jing pushed the door open, Gu Nian was still sitting on the carpet.

But now he was holding a small mirror, studying his own face in it.

A pair of leather shoes entered his line of sight. Unsurprised, Gu Nian raised an eyebrow.

Over the sound of the showering water, the rabbit-eared boy lifted his beautiful, delicate face, a blatantly provocative smile directed at Baili Jing as he spoke, word by word—

”You’re too late.”

”My sister has already taken me.”
