Rose served herself a bowl of soup first and was not afraid of him at all. “You are still alive and well,
and it won’t be too late to try once that happens.”
She smiled as she talked, then drank the soup in a particularly happy mood. Satisfaction was painted
all over her face.
“Wow, this soup is delicious.”
Bright put his soup bowl in front of Rose and raised an eyebrow slightly. “Give me a bowl too.”
“Don't you have any hands? I'm not a servant in your family. Scoop for yourself if you want to have it.”
Rose ignored him and continued to drink her soup.
“You’re not going to do it? Then I'll go find grandma and your dad right now and get their opinions on
whether Mrs. Lee should take good care of Mr. Lee.” Bright hinted that he was going to expose their
relationship as husband and wife in order to threaten her.
Rose's face grew sullen and stared at the man in front of her. “Mr. Lee, you are not a man if you did
something like this!”
“Won’t you know if I’m a man once you try. Anyway, we are legal.” Bright's eyes were deep and
unfathomable like an abyss, making her wonder whether he was joking or serious.
“Cough, cough, cough...” Rose was so scared by his words that she choked herself and couldn’t stop
coughing.
Seeing this, Bright put down his chopsticks, walked around the table to her side, raised his hand and
patted her back, hoping to make her feel better.
“Drink some water.” The man's warm voice was stained with a smile. Because of Rose, Bright sounded
helpless, as if he didn’t know what to do. “How could you be so careless when you are only having
soup?”
“Well. If it wasn’t for you….!” If he didn't talk nonsense, could she be frightened?
Obviously, it was his fault. How could he scold her?
“Everything I said was the truth.” Bright bent down and stared at her eyes. “Since you are going to
poison me, then shouldn’t I do something to you before you poison me to death? No matter what, I
need to make sure that you have my offspring.”
This was the Bright she was familiar with, someone who pretended to be cold but was a bad man all
over.
Rose felt that she had brought doom to herself.
Bright’s thin lips curled up unnoticeably, fully revealing his evil charm. “This is exactly why it’s worth
dying under a beautiful woman. Why doesn’t Mrs. Lee give Mr. Lee the chance?”
Rose was moved when she heard Bright call her “Mrs. Lee”, and her face and ears turned red. His
voice was too crisp and sultry – it was music to her ears, so much it was going to kill her!
“Mr. Lee, it is clearly stated in the contract that we do not fulfill obligations between husband and wife.
Buy one get one free is impossible. Please respect the contract.” Rose endured the heat in her ears
and mentioned the contract, hoping to stop this man from thinking and behaving absurdly.
“I’m almost dead. Why would I still care about those things?” Bright scoffed.
“…” She couldn’t win over him, so she decided to just shut him up.
Rose put the soup in front of him.
Seeing that she had eased a little, Bright returned to his seat, then held up the soup bowl and drank
slowly, savouring every bit of it.
Rose didn't look at him anymore and lowered her head to eat her own meal.
“This soup...” Bright's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed his heart with one hand. “It’s
poisonous…”
Rose saw his frowning eyebrows, heavy breathing, and pale face that her face also turned pale. She
hurriedly kicked away the chair and headed to his side.
“What's wrong with you, Bright...I didn't make this soup...” Rose didn’t know what to do for a moment
when she saw how uncomfortable he was. “Don't scare me...how could it be poisonous...”
“Bright...” Rose almost cried as she called his name. “I'll call the doctor—”
Rose was about to turn around to head to the living room when she felt her hand being grabbed and
pulled by someone before she fell onto the man's lap and he embraced her.
Rose was once again frightened by Bright's bold behaviour.
The most important thing was that he lied to her? But she believed him like a fool, and almost cried
because of it.
But he was making fun of her!
How terrible!
She was embarrassed and wanted to struggle to get up but was locked in place by his arms.
“You let me go!” Rose lowered her voice.
She looked at the door of the dining room in a panic, fearing that someone would come in and see her.
By then, no matter how much she explained, she wouldn’t be able to clear things up.
“Do you how cute you looked just now when you were worried about me?” Bright didn't care about the
intimacy between them.
“Can't you just eat properly?” Rose couldn't win against his strength at all and could only let him trap
her.
“When someone comes in and sees, you just need to admit that you are Mrs. Lee. I will definitely
cooperate and won’t let you be known as the mistress.” Bright put his chin on her soft shoulder lightly.
“If anyone dares to bully you, I will be the first to help you.”
Getting bullied by others?
He is the only one who has been bullying her, right?
“As long as Mr. Lee let me go.” Rose's back was against his warm chest, but it was stiff.
“What if I don't let go?” Heat from Bright's lips and nose sprayed on her face, prickling her, making her
restless and nervous.
Rose swallowed, but she was helpless.
“Are you calling your family or the police?” Bright smiled triumphantly.
She naturally didn't want her family to know, and the police didn't care about matters between husband
and wife.
“Mr. Lee...” Rose said softly.
“Silent...” Bright put his finger on her soft lips. “I am very dissatisfied with being addressed as Mr. Lee.”
“...” Rose widened her eyes.
Didn’t she always call him that? Why are you not satisfied today? What is wrong?
“CEO Lee?”
He shook his head.
“Bright.”
He still shook his head.
“Young master Lee...”
He continued to shake his head.
“Lee...”
She really couldn't think of anything.
“Are you doing this on purpose?” Rose wondered whether he was purposely giving her a difficult
problem.
She tilted her head and met his eyes. Her eyes were clear and reflected his handsome face.
Bright suddenly lowered his head, and his thin lips caught her cherry lips. He kissed her deeply...
It was just a moment, but it still made her feel the strong emotions like a storm, and it made her
gradually lost.
“We are husband and wife. You don't want to be honest in front of others. I can cooperate with you, but
you have to cooperate with me when it’s just us.” Bright’s fingers brushed her red lips. “So you should
know what to call me.”
Aren’t they just a fake couple? Why is he making things difficult for her?
“Can't say it?” Bright saw her reluctance.
“Mr. Lee—”
