"Give me those papers, " Su Yanyan urged kicking Housekeeper Qin on his leg.

"Ah!!!" Housekeeper Qin was taken aback by the sudden hit and he fell on his knees. His position was just like a slave bowing down before his queen. He felt ashamed. No one has ever done it to him. His blood boiled with anger and he was fed up with this drama. Seeing that nothing was working on Su Yanyan, he decided to use her weakness against her. That's the only thing that would convince her to agree with this marriage.

Looking up at Su Yanuan, he glared at her. "Have you gone nuts? Have you forgotten the deal? Did you forget the reason why you are doing all of this?" he roared.

Su Yanyan paused. Her hand that was about to snatch the papers from his hand, halted in the air.

"If this plan fails because of you, then you will see his dead body." he sneered.

"SHUT UP!"

"You can save him only when you will fulfill your part of the deal. Don't forget this." he continued when he saw that his threat was working on Su Yanyan.

Remembering him, Su Yanyan's eyes went cold, her expressions taunt, her hands clenched into a fist, and her whole body shaking with anger. She narrowed her eyes at Housekeeped Qin and grabbed his jaw tightly with her right hand. "Never again mention him with that filthy mouth of yours," she warned.

Housekeeper Qin glared back at her. He felt that his jaw was about to break but he didn't bow down his head before her, this time. He retaliated back at her by glaring, thinking that she would leave him. But, he was wrong.

Instead of leaving his jaw, Su Yanyan increased her strength. She didn't care if something happened to him. The deal only required her to work according to the plan to get the best results. Breaking or keeping Housekeeper Qin's jaw had nothing to do with it, so didn't care about it. Anyways, she wanted to make him pay for what he had done.

"I-I won't do it again..... I am sorry, " he pleaded for mercy.

"Once this deal is done, you are a dead man." Su Yanyan smiled before leaving his jaw.

Once freed, Housekeeper Qin took a breath of relief. He tried to touch his jaw but soon he winced feeling pain all over. Glancing back at Su Yanyan, he cursed in his heart but on the surface, he didn't do anything to provoke her even more.

The tense atmosphere at the dining table subsided. Su Yanyan took a deep breath to calm herself down. Her eyes moistened when she thought about him, but she was careful to not let Housekeeper Qin detect her weakness otherwise this will give him more chances to dance on her head. And she didn't want that.

Thinking about him, Su Yanyan smiled bitterly. For him, she can go to any limits, and to save him, if she has to get married to Long Xun, then so be it.

"Look, Su Yanyan, don't think too much about this marriage. Once our plan is done, my master will kill Long Xun. Once he is dead, you won't have to continue with this marriage." he explained slowly. "You can even forget about this marriage and live your life nicely with him. "

Su Yanyan didn't reply.

"And don't worry, they are taking care of him very properly." Housekeeper Qin whispered.

"Do you think my views are going to change just because you have said this to me?" she asked with disgust clearly showing on her face. "You and that old hag will always be the most disgusting people I have met in all these years of my life, " she said.

Housekeeper Qin wasn't bothered at all by her expressions or her words. He just wanted to say what he felt like saying to her at that moment.

"Think whatever you want too," he said, shrugging his shoulders. Soon, both of them heard footsteps of someone coming down that stairs. They knew it was Long Xun so immediately both of them went back into their role, one being a trustworthy housekeeper while the other being an innocent, harmless girl.

"Please Su Yanyan, do not mess this up, " Housekeeper Qin reminded politely to which Su Yanyan returned him a blank look.

This time, Long Xun was properly dressed. Compared to his earlier appearance, he looked way better than that. He was wearing a t-shirt with a studded black jacket and casual jeans. His hair was unstyled giving him that casual-cool look with some drops of water falling here and there as he walked.

"Done with your breakfast?" Long Xun asked.

"Hmm..." Su Yanyan nodded.

"Nice, " Long Xun smiled. "Then let's get married," he said forwarding his hand.

Su Yanyan glanced at his hand. Beneath the table, from where Long Xun couldn't see, her hand was clenched tightly into a fist on her lap. She didn't want to hold his hand. She didn't want to get married to him. To her, marriage was a very sacred thing and it was not something that one should play with.

And now she was forced to do something that she considered to be very sacred. It was like going against her principles or more like committing a crime.

Seeing that Su Yanyan was not moving, Housekeeper Qin fidgeted with his sleeves. His brows were raised, his breath sounding nervous and he was gazing at Su Yanyan constantly. Biting his lips, he was almost begging her silently with his eyes to comply, to not act strange, and be caught by Long Xun.

"Su Yanyan?"

"Beauty Qinqin, what is marriage?" Su Yanyan asked looking up. Her face had the same beautiful, pure smile that Long Xun was familiar with.

Housekeeper Qin sighed in relief. Thankfully, Su Yanyan didn't do anything that would make Long Xun suspicious. He was relieved for a moment but at the same time, he didn't dare to be negligent. He knew that he needed to be alert. What if Su Yanyan changes her mind, midway?
