Engagement Annulled? Now The Husbands Kneel and Beg for Her Favor

Su Jue stared intently at Jiang Qingli, his gaze raking over her from head to toe without restraint.

For a female, this was extremely offensive behavior.

Lin Xiyue took a step forward, shielding Jiang Qingli behind her like a mother eagle protecting her young. "Did Bai Yiyi send you to find Qingli?"

’The entire First District knew that Bai Yiyi and Jiang Qingli didn’t get along,’ she thought. ’This male clearly has bad intentions!’

"I just want to chat with Miss Jiang about that wonderful Saturday night."

Su Jue withdrew his gaze and gave Lin Xiyue a flirtatious wink. "Could you two beautiful ladies give us some privacy?"

’Saturday night?’

Jiang Qingli’s heart skipped a beat.

’On Saturday, we only saw each other at the auction house. From his behavior, he must have recognized me as the righteous scalper who bought him for a sky-high price and then immediately resold him.’

’Judging by his expression, he probably won’t report this to the academy.’

’He likely had some other motive for stopping me.’

Not wanting to involve anyone else, Jiang Qingli told Lin Xiyue and Ai Li to go get changed first.

Her two friends were a little worried, but with surveillance cameras in the hallway, it was still quite safe.

Only Su Jue and Jiang Qingli remained in the stairwell.

Su Jue leaned against the wall, one leg bent, an eyebrow raised. His voice was deliberately lazy. "Why is Miss Jiang so afraid of me? Are you worried I’ll reveal your little secret?"

Jiang Qingli stared back, her face a blank mask. "What secret?"

Su Jue stroked his chin and narrowed his eyes. "Such a pure goody-two-shoes, yet you go buying thrills behind everyone’s back... Do people at the academy know about this other side of you, Miss Jiang?"

His breathy tone was getting on her nerves.

"What I buy is none of your damn business." Jiang Qingli unconsciously mimicked Qin Muye’s tone. "Spit it out."

Jiang Qingli had assumed Su Jue stopped her because he was in cahoots with Bai Yiyi, hoping to squeeze some resources out of her.

Bai Yiyi and her five Beast Husbands had another year before they could be formally bound in marriage. Right now, only Su Jue was her official Beast Husband.

After a female acquired a Beast Husband, she would get her own house. They would move out of their family home, establish their own household, cultivate their relationship with their Beast Husband, learn to manage a family, and enhance their Superpowers.

During this period, most families would provide financial support.

Bai Yiyi’s current house was a gift from the main branch of the Bai Family in the First District. The Bai Family had split a hundred years ago, so Bai Yiyi had almost no blood relation to the main branch.

The only reason people called her "cousin" was because the old Family Head of the main branch was fond of Bai Yiyi and had everyone address her that way. It fostered a sense of closeness and made it easier for her to fit into their circle.

The families of her five Beast Husbands wouldn’t give her resources for free without an official marriage.

Bai Yiyi had often freeloaded off the Jiang Family in the past. The original Qingli was too generous to be bothered with it.

But Jiang Qingli was no sucker. She had no intention of funding someone she detested.

Just as she was mentally devising the most satisfying way to insult Su Jue and Bai Yiyi for being leeches, she heard him say—

"How about you give me your number?"

Jiang Qingli: ?

Seeing the girl’s slightly stunned look, Su Jue’s lips curled. "The only reason someone buys a ’pet’ is because their Beast Husband can’t perform, right? I’m definitely no worse than him. Give me a try and you’ll see."

Jiang Qingli: "..."

Her silence was deafening.

Su Jue just assumed she was being shy and smugly raised a hand to lift her chin. "I recognized you at a glance. Guess why, Miss Jiang?"

Before Jiang Qingli could answer, he gave the answer himself. "I can tell a woman’s height, weight, and measurements with just a single glance."

As he spoke, he slowly approached Jiang Qingli. "Wanna guess how I know?"

Jiang Qingli slapped his hand away in disgust. "I’m not guessing. Scram."

"Actually... my Superpower is X-ray vision." Su Jue stopped in front of Jiang Qingli, one hand in his pocket, and leaned in close. "In other words, I know everything about you right now."

"You wouldn’t want the academy to find out what you’ve been up to, would you, Miss Jiang? So why don’t you..."

Jiang Qingli suddenly laughed. She arrogantly raised her chin, her tone defiant. "You came to the First District without even bothering to ask who I am? You think I’m afraid of you?"

Without waiting for a reaction, Jiang Qingli jabbed two fingers straight into his eye sockets and simultaneously delivered a vicious downward kick!

"AHH—!"

Miss Jiang’s perfectly manicured nails dug into his eye sockets. As Su Jue clutched his eyes, a throbbing pain erupted from where she’d kicked him.

The ball-busting agony made his eyes bulge in fury. He pointed a trembling finger at Jiang Qingli. "You—"

But Jiang Qingli didn’t stick around for his revenge. The moment her kick landed, she bolted.

’Su Jue’s Superpower isn’t X-ray vision at all, it’s Wind Element. He just said that to see the panicked look on a female’s face.’

’Who knows how many females he’d used that line on. A kick was letting him off easy.’

’Greasy, overconfident prick!’

After running down several flights of stairs, she happened to run into an instructor heading downstairs. Jiang Qingli jogged over and threw her arms around the tall female in the Combat Suit.

"Instructor, there’s a strange male upstairs! He threatened me... I’m so scared..."

Wrapping an arm around Jiang Qingli, the instructor asked with a grim expression, "Where?"

No sooner had she asked than Su Jue appeared, stumbling down the stairs while clutching his privates.

"Jiang Qingli, you damn woman, you don’t know what’s good for you—"

With bloodshot eyes, Su Jue locked his gaze on Jiang Qingli and started to charge.

"Instructor, that’s him..."

Jiang Qingli shrank into the instructor’s arms and reached for the Anesthetic Gun tucked at the woman’s waist.

Her fingers closed around the gun. Just as Jiang Qingli was about to turn, a loud THUD echoed through the stairwell.

She turned to see Su Jue sprawled on the ground. Qin Muye stood over him, kicking his arm and clicking his tongue in annoyance. "Another brain-dead idiot?"

’Daring to make a move on my female master,’ he thought. ’He must have a death wish.’

’Noticing the guy had a handsome face only made my headache worse.’

’It’s already annoying enough having to fend off the guys at home all day. Why are there more of them out here?’

’Where in the world do all these males come from? Can’t a few of them just drop dead?’

Sent flying by the kick, Su Jue stared blankly for a few seconds before looking up to glare at Qin Muye.

He was about to start cursing when he suddenly realized that the man who had sent him flying and was now standing over him was none other than the Prince, infamous throughout the entire interstellar space!

’How does he know Jiang Qingli?!’

Su Jue had only just arrived in the First District and had no idea the two were married. His head was buzzing. All he could do was watch as the instructor rushed over to block Qin Muye, scolding him while calling for security to come deal with the situation.

The security team was fast, arriving in less than five minutes. They dragged the stunned Su Jue away like a sack of potatoes.

The instructor offered a few reassuring words to Jiang Qingli before hurrying after the security team to investigate.

Lin Xiyue and Ai Li heard the commotion and came down, thinking something had happened.

Jiang Qingli smiled reassuringly. "It’s nothing, my Beast Husband already took care of it!"

Hearing those three words, "my Beast Husband," the anger in Qin Muye’s mind instantly vanished.

He turned his face away and grunted a cool "Mm."

But anyone with eyes could see his ears slowly turning red.

Lin Xiyue suddenly realized, ’This Prince doesn’t seem nearly as scary as the rumors say.’

’In fact, in front of Jiang Qingli, he’s almost... tame? What’s that about?’

Her two friends said their goodbyes. Jiang Qingli went upstairs to change into her Combat Suit and came back down to find Qin Muye squatting by the stairs, wringing his hands with a conflicted look on his face.

"What’s wrong?" Jiang Qingli walked over and patted his back.

"Nothing." Qin Muye stood up.

Since he didn’t say anything, Jiang Qingli didn’t press him.

’Anyway, puppies can’t hold things in. He’ll spill everything to his master in a little while.’

Sure enough, just as they were approaching the training grounds, Qin Muye stopped in his tracks. "That guy from earlier... you know him?"

"Oh, that’s Bai Yiyi’s Beast Husband." Jiang Qingli didn’t hide anything, telling him all about the auction and the conversation they just had.

The moment he heard the story, Qin Muye turned on his heel and started to walk off.

Jiang Qingli grabbed his arm. "Hey, class is about to start. Where are you going?"

"I’m going to tear that mouth of his to shreds!" Qin Muye said, his face dark.

"He’s already been taken to the station. He came with Bai Yiyi, so she’ll most likely be disciplined too." Jiang Qingli wrapped her arm around his. "Let’s hurry to class. If you fail another course, you’ll end up in the year below me..."

For some reason, Qin Muye pouted. "Isn’t that what you like? Being called ’Big Sister’?"

The words dripped with jealousy.

Qin Muye realized his slip of the tongue and abruptly shut his mouth.

But it was too late.

Still holding his arm, Jiang Qingli looked up and narrowed her eyes.

A chill ran down Qin Muye’s spine under her gaze.

The next second, Jiang Qingli tugged his arm, pulling him close. She raised a hand, hooking a finger under his chin—

"Be a good boy. Say ’Big Sister.’"
