Chapter 2: 2

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Guan Tong was driven to the Lin Family home in Zhang Lin’s car. Not even a day has passed, and she was already being tied up on a plane on her way to her betrothed— it was because Zhang Lin was afraid that Guan Tong would escape. 

It had been a month since she arrived on this island, and she had been staying in this room every day. However, she didn’t even get a glimpse of the Young Master of the Lu family’s shadow.

Thud!

Suddenly, there was the sound of a door being unlocked. It was like thunder in the vacuum, which frightened Guan Tong. Guan Tong looked through the crack of the door and saw a group of people walking in. All of them were well-trained bodyguards, and they came in carrying a man. Guan Tong covered her mouth. It looked like the nightmare that she had heard about was coming. 

The bodyguards walked closer, and Guan Tong quickly sat back down. These people carefully placed the man on the wedding bed expressionlessly, even after seeing Guan Tong’s appearance. At that moment, an older man followed them into the room. Guan Tong had seen him a few times and knew that he was the butler here, Uncle Tang.

“Madam, the Young Master has been brought to you.” The butler quietly said.

Guan Tong nodded to him with a bitter smile. It was the first time anyone had called her Madam.

“Madam and the Young Master should rest early.” Uncle Tang gave Guan Tong a meaningful glance and left with the bodyguards. Guan Tong was stunned for a while. Then, she looked at the man on the bed and saw an extraordinarily handsome face. 

Guan Tong did not expect the Young Master of the Lu family to be this handsome. He was even more attractive than other famous men that she had seen before. The man had his eyes closed, and his eyebrows were straight. However, his face was ashen. Perhaps it was because he had been ill for a long time and had not seen the light of day. His lips were pale and tightly shut. The man looked almost like a vampire that lived off by sucking the blood out of a human being. The man was the Young Master of the Lu family— Lu Han.

Guan Tong burst out laughing. At this time, her head was still wrapped in her nonsensical thoughts. She was attracted by this man’s handsome face and could not help but touch him. However, when she thought of the rumor that the man was bad luck and his past wives suspiciously died, her outstretched hand dropped down.

‘He’s good-looking. It’s a shame that he is in a comatose state and brought bad luck to his wives too.’ Guan Tong thought, and she assumed that infatuated Lin Fei would probably go crazy when she saw such a handsome man if she were to marry him.

Guan Tong was a little afraid, but her strong will stopped her from fear. She has to think of a way to not die from the bad luck brought by the Young Master of the Lu family. Moreover, since she was already married, her duty was to take care of her husband.

“Don’t worry. I will try my best not to get cursed to death. I will try my best to take care of you. After all, you are just like my grandmother. She’s also sick.” Guan Tong sighed. She thought of her grandmother, and she missed her quite a bit because she had not seen her grandmother for a month.

“I don’t know how my grandmother is doing. I don’t know if Zhang Lin has fulfilled her promise. I hope my grandmother will get better soon.” The bridal chamber had quietened down after Guan Tong stopped talking to herself.

Guan Tong could smell a strong herbal smell in the air. Lu Han probably had been bathed in herb mixture every day, but she sensed something odd. Guan Tong didn’t have time to think before she felt a slight noise from the door lock outside. Guan Tong quivered, but she assumed that the servants of the Lu family would not be doing anything this suspicious at this time. Even if they did, they wouldn’t dare come into the newlyweds’ bridal chamber. 

Guan Tong’s expression turned cold. It seemed that there was something strange going on within the Lu family. Just as Guan Tong was thinking, she suddenly felt the peculiar odor she had experienced previously. The smoke of nauseous gas had risen again. As Guan Tong covered her mouth and nose, she quickly ran to hide, and she realized that her husband was still on their wedding bed! 

Guan Tong thought about it for quite a while. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be a big problem for the unconscious man to breathe in the nauseous gas. Guan Tong had been here for more than a month, and nothing like this had happened to her. This made her suspect that the people who had let out the gaseous smoke were definitely after Young Master Lu that had just arrived.

As the saying goes, a righteous person would not leave anyone behind. Guan Tong resigned herself from fate and dragged Lu Han off the bed. He was heavy.

‘If I manage to rescue this man from danger this time, I hope he’ll give himself to me. He looks so handsome. Hmm, I guess not. Handsome men always lead to danger.’ Guan Tong’s attention was focused on the door. She did not realize that the corner of the man’s lips was smiling. 

Just as Guan Tong hid and Lu Han securely, a knife suddenly flew over from the door and landed near her feet. Guan Tong felt her goosebumps. 

‘What sort of magical knife would be able to locate them, or that mysterious person intended to kill them?’ 

Before Guan Tong could let out a scream, she felt a slightly cold hand covering her mouth. Guan Tong’s eyes widened, and she didn’t recall anyone else in the room apart from her and her husband in a comatose state. Guan Tong lowered her sight and saw a handsome young face. He was striking, like someone who walked out of a painting. 

Guan Tong was already familiar with her husband’s magnificent facial features, but it was the first time she saw him open his eyes! He must’ve become a revenant! Guan Tong felt the shock, and this feeling was far beyond the limits that her mind could perceive. The man in the comatose state was now actually opening his eyes.

“Don’t make a sound if you want to live.” Not only could Lu Han open his eyes, but he was also speaking to her.

Could it be that the Taoist priest’s prayers worked? Was it because he had given Lu Han his blessings, and now he has woken up? Guan Tong noticed that Lu Han’s eyes were magnetic. They were utterly bright blue as if they were trying to hypnotize her. 

Lu Han was also stunned by the beauty of Guan Tong’s eyes. He just saw that they were also beautiful and also familiar, just like the eyes of the woman from that night. However, they didn’t resemble each other since the scar on Guan Tong’s face made it hard for him to make out her actual facial features.

“What are you doing?” Guan Tong bit his hand, and Lu Han immediately felt the sharp pain. He had no other choice but to let go of her.

Guan Tong had learned her lesson from her previous encounter, and she knew that she couldn’t make any noise now to avoid being discovered. As the smoke around her was dispersing, she only used her eyes to stare down at him. Lu Han, however, found it quite funny as Guan Tong was looking at him as if she was accusing him that this was his fault.

“What should we do now?” Guan Tong was sure that this person was coming for Lu Han.

“Now, we just wait for death to come.” Lu Han said with a smile.

Guan Tong’s eyes widened in disbelief. Wait for death? She did not want to die yet. Lu Han found her reaction interesting, her eyes filled with surprise but with no panic. However, the woman’s gaze was too similar to Guan Tong’s. He felt as if he had been brought back to that night.

“Let’s find a way out.” Guan Tong thought of a brilliant idea. She felt that she should be able to escape with the man in front of her. 

“What a stupid idea! Do you think you can escape from the Lu family?” Lu Han looked at her as if she was a fool.

“Then why don’t you call for help from your subordinates?” Guan Tong thought that a family like the Lu family would have plenty of servants at their service.

“It’s useless. This is the famous Secret Weapon Master of our own family. You can’t escape.” Lu Han broke Guan Tong’s hope of survival.

“The Lu family wants to kill you!?” Guan Tong was in shock..
