"What are you going to do about it?" Ge'er challenged him fearlessly. "I came again, so what? If you have the guts, divorce me right now!"
Shang Jincheng squatted beside her, gazing at her sleepy, watery eyes and slightly disheveled hair for a few seconds before taking a deep breath.
"Who told you you're so pretty? You're always in the right, no matter what. I admit defeat."
"It was my fault for dating so many girls before. Consider it something I owe you. Tell me, as long as you don't divorce me, how do you want me to compensate you? I'll make it up to you later."
She had never heard such an outrageous negotiation.
How could dating many girlfriends be compensated?
Ge'er sneered, "Compensate? I've never even dated a boyfriend, how can I compensate? Unless you let me date a few boyfriends too."
"..."
Was this a joke?
Let alone the fact that they were already married, even if they weren't, as a friend, he would be unhappy seeing her date several boyfriends.
"You're still drunk and talking nonsense. The floor is cold, get up and let's talk."
"I won't get up! Shang Jincheng, don't touch me!"
"If you don't get up, I won't just touch you, I'll kiss you too, believe it or not?"
"..."
Shang Jincheng picked her up without further ado, placed her on the bed, and pulled the quilt over her legs and stomach.
"You'll have to have my children in the future, so it won't do to have your body catch a cold. Cover yourself well."
Ge'er was so angry she raised her hand to hit him, but he dodged it nimbly.
"You're shameless! Who wants to have your children?"
He took a step back, grinning, "You. You're mine now, and I won't divorce you easily. You'll have my children sooner or later."
"Bah..."
"Are you going to suspect I'm sick again? If you don't want to be with me because of this, it's simple. We can go for a physical examination right now."
"..."
"Wait, I'll get you some clothes and we'll do a pre-marital check-up tonight. I'm not trying to trick you. If there's any problem at all, we'll divorce with no questions asked. Is that fair enough?"
Saying that, he reached for his phone on the bedside table to make a call.
Ge'er realized that this man had planned this all along.
His father had so many illegitimate children, all with inheritance rights.
Who knew if the Shang Group was just a facade, and if the family business was not enough to go around.
He must have his eyes on the Zhan family's business, wanting to use marriage to climb up to the Zhan family and expand his own interest group.
Did he think Zhan Jingge was a naive little rabbit, easily exploited by him?
She definitely couldn't get divorced today, but she couldn't just stay and let him take advantage of her. She had to escape first!
While he wasn't paying attention, Ge'er jumped off the bed, picked up her shoes, and dashed towards the door. However, she was caught up by him after just two steps.
"You haven't changed your clothes, why are you running?"
He was surprisingly strong. Ge'er, like a little chick, was grabbed by her clothes and dragged back.
"If I want to run, I'll run. You have no right to control where I go! Let me go!"
Shang Jincheng put her down, kicked the room door shut, and locked it.
"Since we're registered, you're mine. I have the right to control where you go."
"You reek of alcohol, haven't washed your face or brushed your teeth. Where are you planning to go?"
"..."
Ge'er suddenly felt like she had walked into a wolf's den.
This damned Shang Jincheng, who was usually all smiles and seemed clueless in front of her, was actually quite sharp when it mattered!
Trying to control her? He was really tired of living.
"I want to go home. Even if we're registered, I still have the right to visit my parents' home, right? I'm leaving now, move aside."
Shang Jincheng saw a hint of panic in her eyes.
After all, she was a young lady who had been single her entire life. Even if she could talk a lot, she would still be flustered when approached by someone of the opposite sex.
He liked her innocent reaction, and at the same time, he realized he might have gone too far and felt a little sorry for her.
He leaned against the door and softened his tone, "I didn't say you couldn't go home. It's just that you need to change your clothes. You vomited yesterday, and your clothes got dirty."
"I'll call someone to bring them over. It'll be here soon. Be good, wait a moment."
A wise person knows when to retreat. Ge'er pretended to nod obediently, thinking she could deal with him after she left.
"Alright then. I'll go wash up first."
"There's a bathroom inside. There are spare toiletries in the drawer."
Ge'er went into the bathroom and closed herself in the small, enclosed space. Taking a breath, she smelled the strong scent of alcohol and the lingering aroma of various dishes on herself.
No wonder Shang Jincheng insisted she change her clothes before leaving. Perhaps in his eyes, she looked ugly and dirty right now, utterly unattractive.
If so, why wouldn't he divorce her?
Disgusted with herself, Ge'er washed her face and brushed her teeth, then took a shower and washed her hair.
When she was done tidying herself up and emerged from the bathroom wearing his bathrobe, Shang Jincheng was no longer in the room.
Didn't he say he would have clothes sent over soon? Why had even he disappeared?
Ge'er opened the door with a puzzled expression and went to the living room.
It was better not to go, but the moment she stepped out, she froze.
Shang Jinshu, Shang Jincheng's sister, was in the living room.
She was wrestling with Shang Jincheng, acting spoiled.
"My outfit costs tens of thousands, why are you giving it away just like that? If you don't tell me who that woman is, I won't give it to you!"
"He's hitting me, Shang Jincheng is hitting me! I don't care, if you don't let me see, I won't give it to you even if you beat me to death!"
In Shang Jinshu's eyes, this was the first time her brother had brought a girlfriend home in his life, and he was even asking for help to send clothes over. It seemed like something serious had happened.
She was extremely curious and was making a fuss, wanting to see who Shang Jincheng's girlfriend was. Just then, Zhan Jingge walked in herself.
Hearing the door behind her click, the siblings turned their heads simultaneously.
Seeing Zhan Jingge appear in his room in that state, her sister's expression became incredibly colorful, as if she had discovered a new continent.
She pointed at Ge'er, then at her brother.
"So it's her! I know her! Is this Ge'er or Tian Tian? You actually got involved with Miss Zhan's family? Well done, brother, good taste!"
"Hello, sister-in-law, I'm his sister. Nice to meet you! Oh my, brother, if Mom knew you finally did something great, she'd be overjoyed!"
"If you had said your girlfriend was Miss Zhan earlier, I would have given you ten sets of clothes even if you asked! Quick, take it and wear it! I'm going back right now to report the good news to Mom!"
Saying that, she shoved the clothes into her brother's hand and turned to run.
Before Shang Jincheng could stop her, Ge'er shouted, "Stop!"
Her shout was so startling that Shang Jinshu was successfully scared into stopping.
She turned back, looking at Ge'er with confusion. Ge'er said,
"I am Zhan Jingge, but I am not your brother's girlfriend. I just drank too much yesterday and stayed here overnight. Don't talk nonsense."
Shang Jinshu looked at her brother with half-belief.
Shang Jincheng knew that Ge'er hadn't agreed yet and couldn't announce their relationship publicly.
Moreover, this marriage was indeed not glorious. If Zhan Beijue found out, he would also be afraid of being punished.
"Are your ears deaf? Did you hear what she said? If you heard, you can get lost."
"..."
"If Mom asks me any more questions about today, you're dead. Get lost."
