After the President remarried, the eldest daughter might not be as well received in the household as before. Nevertheless, she was still the offspring of the President.

Not only had she never received a thrashing before, nobody dared to tell her off in her face, either.

With her eyes wide open with terror, Jiang Mianmian watched him stood before the bed; a man whom she knew, yet was a stranger to her now.

“Uncle… Let’s get this right. You can forget about laying me. I’m still a child and you aren’t cruel enough to violate a nation’s youngling like me, right? You need to hold off this special hobby of yours…”

The usual insolent brat was actually calling for a truce which was rare; moreover, the fear in her eyes could not be faked.

General Zhan squinted his eyes as he laughed to himself.

This little thing is really scared now?

Exerting with just the right amount of force, he slapped the girl’s cheek twice. Suddenly, he tugged at her slender legs, lifting both to each side on the left and right, prying them into a crude ‘M’ figure.

The girl might be tipsy, but that did not stop her from flushing red with embarrassment.

“Uncle Zhan… don’t do that please. My legs are hurting…”

It did not take long for her to guess what he was trying to do with this shameless stance.

At this critical moment, despite her utter unwillingness, she still had to bring out her father’s status as the President to put him down. “Uncle, I may be married to you, but I’m still the President’s daughter, no matter what. If you insist on torturing me, I’ll complain to my daddy! You better stop… Let me go!”

Zhan Muqian pursed his thin lips and sniggered coldly, “From what I know, the President would be very satisfied that I’m doing my very best to tame this useless hooligan daughter of his, right?”

Swipe! Swipe! Swipe!

If not for the fact that her hands were tied behind, she would have ripped apart his stern and handsome face that came with an evil heart.

Looking at this little thing writhing under him, with her face wrinkled by fury, the man leaned over her ear and blew into her ear. His breath blew hot and cold teasingly, and only served to accentuate his coyish menace that was world’s apart from his haughty and detached persona in the day.

The girl was vexed. What did she do to warrant such treatment from this man. She could not understand what had set him off.

He was out to humiliate her deliberately, especially when her short skirt could not hide what was beneath it.

Still, being headstrong, she held onto whatever pride she had and refused to shed a teardrop, no matter how woeful she felt.

As she desperately fought back her tears, the man saw her twisting her angry, flushed face to one side, and refused to look him in the eyes.

Something melted inside the general’s heart. Quietly, he removed the belt that bound her hands.

She immediately coiled herself to hide next to the headrest after she was freed.

Her small face was tensed as she maintained her silence for a long, long time.

The way the little lass tried to cover her wretchedness did not go unnoticed by him.

The ambience had turned cold and dead.

The man tugged at her soft tresses as if to pacify her. His voice had resumed its usual gentleness as he spoke, “Little thing, are you having a cold war with me?”

Her face did not relax. She could imagine how fierce she was looking now.

In the general’s eyes, though, she was just a petulant kid.

His broad palm caressed her head as he continued, “Since you’re married to me, then I’ve the responsibility to discipline you. You are not allowed to wear such skimpy clothes in the future, or be in the company of other boys in the middle of the night… I don’t demand much from you, just be good.”

The girl was still hugging her knees to her chin when she finally responded after a while. She looked at him in the eyes and challenged him. “I don’t want to listen to you. Zhan Muqian, what gives you the right to tell me what to do?!”

His orbs darkened and a glint flashed across his eyes that made her go soft in her knees involuntarily.

“By the fact that I’m your husband, and the only one in this world who can dote on you unconditionally.”
