Chapter 13 The Secretary’s Mercy
I yanked at the chains, completely lost.
How did I end up here?
I hadn’t even said anything wrong!
“Pei Muchen, let me out!”
“I’m not hanging myself on your crooked tree!”
“If you really want to be with me, fine—but know your place. Don’t let the other three find out about you, and stay away from Fu Zeyan.”
Pei Muchen laughed.
“Hahaha... Su Wan, you really play favorites.”
“Why does Fu Zeyan get the marriage certificate while I’m just the secret sixth?”
“Tomorrow I’m holding our wedding at Haishi’s biggest hotel—in public.”
“The one without a wedding is the mistress.”
My jaw dropped.
A public wedding would expose everything.
They’d be devastated.
“No!”
I reached for him.
“You can’t!”
“Fu Zeyan, Shen Xingye, Qi Qian—they’ll be heartbroken!”
“You say you love me, but you keep stabbing me in the heart!”
He hauled me up and jabbed his own chest.
“And me?”
“You feel sorry for them. Why not feel sorry for me?”
“Tomorrow those three will learn who your only man really is.”
I screamed, “No! Don’t!”
He ignored me, kissed my forehead.
“Be good, Wanwan. Rest. Tomorrow you’ll be Brother’s bride.”
“You have no idea how long I’ve waited for this...”
After he left, I sobbed.
Why did the brother I grew up with fall for me—and fight to be my only husband?
What outstanding woman has just one husband?
He was making everything impossible.
Just when I was losing hope, the basement door opened.
A woman stepped in.
His secretary.
“Please... save me...”
She glanced around, then unlocked my cuffs and ankle chains.
“Go.”
“A woman like you doesn’t deserve Pei Muchen’s heart.”
“If that wedding happens, he’ll be the laughingstock of all Haishi.”
