After Time Traveling, I was Forced to Marry a Wealthy Family

When Zheng Xuran slowly woke up, he still felt dizzy. His eyes wandered for a while before he saw the ceiling above his head. The luxurious and exquisite decoration made him immediately realize where he was. This was Jing Zheng’s bedroom. He had once spent a good night with Jing Zheng on this big bed.

Although Jing Zheng also had other lovers, Zheng Xuran was the only one who had sex with him in the bedroom. Zheng Xuran had once guessed that maybe Jing Zheng was misophonic and didn’t like others coming in and out of his bedroom.

Due to the habit of previous training, Zheng Xuran did not move, closed his eyes, and held his breath to explore the movement around him.

The room was quiet, no one else breathing. Zheng Xuran moved his hands and feet slightly, but he didn’t feel constrained.

When Zheng Xuran was considering whether to get up, he suddenly heard someone turning the doorknob not far away, followed by the sound of steady footsteps approaching from far away. Zheng Xuran immediately adjusted his breathing, pretending to be in a deep sleep.

The man sat down next to him, and the cool corner of his clothes brushed against the back of his hand. Zheng Xuran guessed that the man had just come back from outside.

The man touched his face and whispered, “It stands to reason that he should wake up by now. Did I spray too much medicine?”

It was Jing Zheng’s careless tone. Zheng Xuran’s body suddenly stiffened, and he couldn’t open his eyes. In the darkness, he felt invisible, making him uncontrollably nervous and falling into the weakness engraved in his bones when facing Jing Zheng.

He felt the man approaching, his breath almost touching his face. Jing Zheng’s voice was very close, and his lips were almost touching the side of his face. “I know you’re awake, stop pretending.”

Zheng Xuran opened his eyes coldly, reached out and pushed Jing Zheng, and sat up with difficulty. The aftereffects of the drug made his body a little sluggish, but it didn’t matter.

“What on earth do you want to do? What kind of medicine was last night?”

“It’s just a little drug, it’s harmless to the body.” Jing Zheng avoided the important matter and only answered the insignificant question at the end. He handed the cup to Zheng Xuran’s hand, “Drink something, the kind of black tea you like, with half a sugar cube.”

Zheng Xuran glanced at him suspiciously, and Jing Zheng smiled, “Isn’t it strange? Me too. I feel very strange, how can I know your tastes and habits so well, even though I have never observed them deliberately, but these things have been engraved in my mind for a long time.”

Zheng Xuran knocked the teacup on the bedside table impatiently and said coldly, “What on earth do you want to say? I don’t have time to waste on you now.”

He suddenly disappeared. Mu Ci must be very anxious. Zheng Xuran touched his pocket and found that his cell phone was still there.

Jing Zheng said with complicated eyes, “Your time used to be mine.”

“That was before, but it’s different now, Jing Zheng.” Zheng Xuran said word by word, “Now I belong to myself, and I have resigned. I can sue you for illegal detention and kidnapping.”

“Xuran…” Jing Zheng paused, as if suppressing some intense and sad emotions, he said slowly, “Maybe we can start over. I swear to you, what happened before will never happen again, I promise.”

“Are you taking me back?” Zheng Xuran seemed to have heard some big joke, and even a sarcastic smile appeared on his usually calm face, “Because it was not you who’s hurt, it was not you who’s sad. That’s why you can say starting over again so easily. What qualifications do you have to say these words?”

Zheng Xuran took a deep breath and stared at him coldly, “I won’t forgive you; I’m feel sorry for myself.”

At that moment, Jing Zheng’s heart seemed to be bound by a wire, and the spikes on it were deeply pierced into his flesh, making it difficult to breathe. He opened his mouth, “Xuran…”

“I don’t want to listen to you.” Probably knowing that he couldn’t leave, Zheng Xuran simply pulled up the quilt and covered his head, “I don’t even want to see you, please get out.”

Jing Zheng stayed silent for a while, and finally patted the quilt in vain, “Someone will bring lunch in a moment, remember to eat.”

Then he left.

In the past, Zheng Xuran wished he could stick to him 24 hours a day, but now Zheng Xuran hated him and wanted to drive him away. He didn’t know what to do and could only leave here.

.

Zheng Xuran just lived in the Jing family, and Jing Zheng refused to allow him to leave. This domineering temperament had not changed before or after.

Zheng Xuran was different from Mu Ci. He didn’t make a fuss or create a scene, and he never thought about doing something as futile as running away. Like a normal person, he ate and slept. When he had nothing to do, he read in the study and searched for recruitment information online.

The only difference from before was that he refused to stay in the same room with Jing Zheng, refused to eat together, refused to sleep together, or even didn’t want to have any communication with him.

Even if his legs and feet were inconvenient, as soon as he saw Jing Zheng coming in, he would leave immediately with crutches.

Jing Zheng felt very uncomfortable, his heart feeling like needles pricking him. This person, who used to look at him secretly when pouring coffee, now refused to even look at him.

All the servants in the manor were a little afraid of Zheng Xuran because he always had a cold expression on his face and had no qualms about showing off to Jing Zheng. And Jing Zheng was not as angry or punishing him as before. Jing Zheng acted as if he didn’t see it and continued to approach him cautiously and coax him.

Everyone in the Jing family looked at this weird pantomime in amazement.

One day Zheng Xuran was reading in the study, and suddenly a girl came in and took a stack of reports. “Assistant Zheng, these are this month’s reports. Do you want to review them first?”

Zheng Xuran frowned and said unceremoniously, “I have resigned. Please don’t assign me any more matters related to the Jing family.”

The girl looked at him worriedly, “But Young Master Jing just told me. He didn’t say that you had resigned?”

Zheng Xuran suddenly sneered and pointed to his leg, “You don’t believe it? I am a useless person now. Will Jing Zheng let me, a useless person, be his assistant? Will he?”

“I will!” Zheng Xuran looked up and saw Jing Zheng pushing the door coming in.

He said lightly: “No, how could a person like Jing Zheng who pursues perfection allow a waste to stay by his side.” The words that once came out of Jing Zheng’s mouth now came back to his ears with an incomparable harshness.

Jing Zheng gritted his teeth and whispered, “You are not a waste, don’t talk about yourself like that.”

“You were the first to say that.” Zheng Xuran said unceremoniously. He stood up with difficulty and grabbed the cane on his side, walking towards the door step by step. When passing by Jing Zheng, he didn’t even look up.

Jing Zheng felt a sourness in his heart. He grabbed Zheng Xuran’s hand and lowered his voice, “How long are you going to make trouble? Can’t we go back to the way we were before? You know I never lie. I said I would be good to you. I will never go against it.”

Zheng Xuran focused his eyes on the door not far away and said slowly, “I have said that I will never forgive you in my life. I will never let go. Even when I die, I will carry this hatred with me. I have a grudge against you.”

Jing Zheng’s face suddenly turned extremely ugly.

Zheng Xuran continued, “Mu Ci and I are different. He could forgive and let go of Gu Huai’s harm to him, but I can’t.”

Jing Zheng gritted his teeth, “Why can’t you? What’s the difference between you two?”

“Because Mu Ci endured the pain and coercion, he falls in love with Gu Huai’s kindness, but I loved you crazily while enduring your tortures.” Zheng Xuran rarely looked at Jing Zheng, but his voice was extremely cold, “Jing Zheng, as much as I loved you once, I hate you now.”

Jing Zheng froze up at that moment. This was the first time he felt heartbreaking pain when he heard Zheng Xuran say he loved him.
