Chapter 2

Imperial Residence.

This is the most luxurious villa on the river, covering 20,000 square meters.

It has a garden, a swimming pool, and a golf course, everything one could want.

Villa Hall.

Tang Chuchu sat on the soft sofa, looking at the villa that resembled a palace, feeling a bit dazed.

She knew that her grandfather was finding her a husband, and she also knew that any man with a bit of pride would not marry her, nor would he join the Tang family.

She did not know the identity of this husband.

But she could roughly guess that he was someone who coveted vanity, was not ambitious, and wanted to gain wealth by joining the Tang family.

She did not expect that this husband would bring her to a place that seemed like a dream.

Jiang Chen squatted down and removed the veil from Tang Chuchu's face.

"Please don't..."

Tang Chuchu panicked and quickly dodged. She was terrified of her appearance, covered in scars, and feared that this man, whom she had never met but was now her husband, would be frightened by her appearance.

However, Jiang Chen still removed the veil from her face.

Tang Chuchu was very nervous, her heart pounding, feeling ashamed and wishing she could find a crack to hide in.

Jiang Chen gently lifted her face.

Her face was covered with shocking scars.

Jiang Chen touched these scars, feeling a deep pain in his heart, as if being cut by a knife. All of this was his fault; if not for saving him, Tang Chuchu would not have become this way.

His strong face showed a hint of pain, his nose tingling, almost bringing him to tears: "Chuchu, you have suffered."

Tang Chuchu did not dare to meet Jiang Chen's gaze, her hands fidgeting with her clothes.

Jiang Chen said tenderly, "Trust me, I will heal you."

Tang Chuchu was frightened and did not dare to look at Jiang Chen.

"Fetch the medicine."

Jiang Chen stood up and shouted.

Immediately, the villa door opened, and some men in black suits carried boxes inside.

Opening the boxes, they were filled with expensive Chinese herbs, each worth a fortune.

Jiang Chen began to prepare the medicine.

After preparing the medicine, he came to Tang Chuchu, squatted down, and looked at her, who was fidgeting with the hem of her clothes. He held her scarred hand, and Tang Chuchu's body trembled, instinctively pulling back her scarred hand and hiding it behind her back, lowering her head and softly saying, "What are you doing?"

"Chuchu, don't be afraid, take off your clothes."

Tang Chuchu immediately burst into tears, quickly taking off her clothes, tears streaming down her face as she looked at Jiang Chen and cried, "Yes, I am ugly, my whole body is scarred, are you satisfied now?"

In Tang Chuchu's eyes, the husband her grandfather had found for her was just there to mock her, to humiliate her.

She had already gotten used to it over the years.

Since the incident, she had cried every day and night, waking up from nightmares every day.

She looked at Jiang Chen, biting her lips, sobbing uncontrollably, tears rolling down her cheeks.

This sight made Jiang Chen's heart ache.

His cold, unfeeling heart was moved.

He held the scarred Tang Chuchu in his arms and solemnly promised, "I will not despise you, no matter what you look like, you are my wife, now and forever."

Tang Chuchu was dazed.

Wasn't this person here to mock her?

Her mind was in chaos, unable to react.

Jiang Chen then let go of her, picked up the prepared medicine, and carefully applied it to her body.

He then fetched bandages and wrapped her up, making her look like a mummy.

Jiang Chen helped Tang Chuchu sit down.

"Chuchu, I won't lie to you, in just ten days, I promise you will look completely different."

"Really, really?" Tang Chuchu reacted, still not quite believing it.

"Of course, I won't lie to you."

Although she could not see Jiang Chen's face, she could hear his voice, which was magnetic and gentle, warming her heart.

Ten days passed in a blink.

These ten days were the happiest ten days Tang Chuchu had experienced in the past ten years.

She did not know the identity of this husband, but the husband who joined the Tang family cared for her meticulously, guarding her 24/7.

Every night, he told her stories and jokes, coaxing her to sleep.

Whenever she woke up, there was always a strong hand holding hers.

For ten years, she had no idea what care was, let alone what love felt like.

Now, she felt that she was in love.

In front of the mirror in the villa.

Tang Chuchu was wrapped in white bandages, even on her face.

At this moment, she could not help but feel nervous.

These ten days, she had been applying medicine every day, and she could feel a burning sensation on her skin.

Jiang Chen told her that as long as she continued to take the medicine, she would recover her beauty in a few days.

"Really, can it really work?" She tightly held the strong hand.

"It can." Jiang Chen slowly removed the bandages from her face and body.

Tang Chuchu felt the light but did not dare to open her eyes.

"Open your eyes and look."

Tang Chuchu opened her eyes and stood naked in front of the mirror.

In the mirror, there was a woman with medicine powder on her body, but even with the powder, one could see her smooth, white skin.

Seeing the nearly perfect face in the mirror, Tang Chuchu was shocked, her mouth wide open.

After a few seconds of shock, she quickly wiped off the medicine powder from her face, touching her face, unable to believe it.

"This..."

She was shocked, dumbfounded, and could not believe that the woman with smooth, white skin in the mirror was her.

Ten years ago, she was burned, and her entire body was disfigured.

Even with advanced medical technology, it was impossible to recover.

Now, she had recovered.

For ten years, she had never dared to look in the mirror, waking up from nightmares every night.

Seeing the perfect face in the mirror, she was overwhelmed with joy, tears rolling down her cheeks.

She fell into Jiang Chen's arms and cried out loud.

Ten years of委屈 (grievance) dissipated in this moment.

Jiang Chen tightly held Tang Chuchu and solemnly promised, "From now on, I will protect you and not let you suffer any more harm."

Tang Chuchu, from her excitement and joy, realized she was naked, blushing and feeling shy.

She broke free from Jiang Chen's embrace, lowering her head, looking lost.

Jiang Chen pointed to the bathroom and said, "The hot water is ready, and I have bought you clothes, but I don't know the size, so I bought several different sizes of underwear. Try them on and wear the one that fits."

Tang Chuchu blushed and ran to the bathroom.

Jiang Chen came to the hall, sat on the sofa, and picked up a cigarette from the table, lighting it.

"Long Shuai."

A man came in from outside. He was around forty, wearing a black suit, holding a thick file, and bowed to hand it over: "All the information about the four major families is here, including the cause and effect of the Jiang family's destruction ten years ago. Please review it, Long Shuai."

Jiang Chen pointed to the table, "Put it there."

"Long Shuai, these insignificant families, with your command, I can eliminate them in a moment..."

Jiang Chen slightly waved his hand.

The man immediately stopped speaking.

Jiang Chen looked at the man standing in front of him, bowing his head, "I am no longer Long Shuai. From now on, there is no more Long Shuai in this world. Investigating the four major families in Jiang is the last time I will use my privileges. You don't need to follow me. Take the brothers back, the border still needs you to guard it."

The man immediately knelt on the ground, firmly saying, "Once a commander, always a commander. The southern border is stable, and the enemies dare not attack. Long Shuai, don't drive us away, let us stay and help you."

Jiang Chen stood up, helped the man to his feet, and said, "Xiao Hei, this is my personal matter, and I will handle it myself. After I finish this, I want to live a peaceful life without the sound of swords and blood. I want to protect Chuchu and give her the best love in the world."

"Long Shuai..."

"Step back, take the brothers back to the southern border." Jiang Chen shouted.

Xiao Hei knelt on the ground again, shouting, "Long Shuai, take care, we, the million Black Dragon Army, are waiting for your return."

"Go." Jiang Chen sat down again, slightly waving his hand.

Xiao Hei then turned and left.

Soon, Tang Chuchu came out after washing.

She wore a white strapless dress, exposing her white neck and arms.

This kind of dress was something she had never dared to wear before.

She was in a very good mood, humming a tune, touching her smooth skin, her lips curled up high.

Seeing Jiang Chen sitting on the sofa, smoking, she immediately stopped humming.

She walked over and sat down next to him, her face flushed, not sure if it was from the shower or shyness.

"Um..." She opened her mouth but did not know what to say.

Although she had spent ten days with Jiang Chen, she had always been blindfolded. Now, facing Jiang Chen, she felt a bit timid, her face flushed, not knowing what to say.

Jiang Chen, who was deep in thought, reacted and looked at the healed Tang Chuchu, his eyes brightening, "Wife, when are we going to get married?"

"Huh?"

Tang Chuchu was stunned, her mouth slightly open, looking confused, incredibly cute.

Jiang Chen smiled, "I have already joined the Tang family, I am your husband. This is an order from your grandfather. Do you want to back out and not marry me?"

"Marry."

After reacting, Tang Chuchu did not say much, just one word.

These ten days, Jiang Chen's meticulous care made her feel what it was like to be warm-hearted.

Such a man, how could she not marry?

She secretly glanced at Jiang Chen.

He was tall and strong, with a rugged face. Just looking at him made her face flush, her heart beating faster.

An hour later.

A man and a woman walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, holding hands.

Tang Chuchu looked at the red certificate in her hand, feeling dazed.

Just, just like that, they got married?

She had fantasized about her future, fantasized about a grand love.

However, everything was different from her fantasies. Her grandfather had arranged her future, and she was taken away by Jiang Chen, who joined the Tang family, to a palace-like place for ten days.

After ten days, her injuries healed, and she recovered her beauty, becoming a stunning beauty.

Although she did not know her husband's identity, she felt happy, tightly holding Jiang Chen's hand.
