Chapter 3

Late into the night, a faint rustling sound came from the doorway.

Recalling what Fang Jingheng had told me, I hurried to open the door.

The next moment, I found myself locking eyes with a pair of orbs as bright as shimmering stars.

A man was leaning against the apricot tree in front of my door, his messy black hair cascading down like a waterfall.

Several cuts on his cheeks were still seeping blood, yet even that couldn’t mask his breathtaking beauty.

Fang Jingheng really was treating me well, having picked out such a handsome husband for me.

I felt a surge of joy in my heart.

However, looking at the way he stared at me, I couldn’t help but feel he resembled the wolf that used to chase me when I was a child.

He looked fierce.

As if he wanted to devour me.

I was a bit frightened, but I still plucked up the courage to ask, “Are you my husband?”

He furrowed his brows.

“You…”

He had barely uttered a single word when something suddenly hit the ground with a sharp clang.

We both looked down at the same time.

It was a dagger, gleaming with a cold, menacing light.

In the next instant, his body went limp, and he collapsed into unconsciousness.
