Married with the Silent Wolf

Chapter 1: Stealing His First Kiss A pair of warm arms tightly wrapped around his neck. Her soft arms suddenly pulled back, and without hesitation, she pressed a kiss onto his lips! A breath of fresh air entered his mouth, carrying the sweet and gentle scent only a young girl could have. The man instinctively responded, greedily drinking in everything from her mouth! He clasped her delicate body tightly with both arms, pulling her whole figure into his embrace, restraining her firmly. The passionate kiss swept away all their reason and senses mercilessly. After the lingering kiss, he struggled to open his eyes. Facing the direction of the light, that one glance was enough for him to remember her forever. He memorized her lips, swollen and red from his kiss, and her enchanting, curvy figure. —End of “The Beautiful Girl Saves the Fourth Young Master” Segment— “Fourth Young Master, we’ve confirmed it. The young lady who saved you in Qingcheng six months ago is actually the only daughter of the Mu family. Zhuo Xi sat in the front passenger seat, turning slightly to hand over a stack of documents and photos to the man in the back seat. Unaware that she had interrupted his nostalgic thoughts, Zhuo Xi continued her report: “The Mu family moved to M city two years ago, but their ancestral home is in Qingcheng. Late last year, Miss Mu returned home to visit her relatives and happened to encounter the incident involving her.” The man in the back seat remained silent. His dark eyes fixed tightly on the photos of the young lady, looking over them again and again. The atmosphere tensed. Zhuo Xi wiped sweat from her temple and glanced nervously at her older brother, Zhuo Ran in the driver’s seat, as if seeking help. Zhuo Ran cautiously observed the expression of the man in the back through the mirror, then carefully spoke: “Fourth Young Master, last time you were framed by the First and Second Young Masters and fell into the reservoir. Miss Mu happened to be there and rescued you. Because it was an emergency, she performed CPR on you—that was definitely not an act of impropriety. Besides, it’s not easy for a young lady to pull a grown man out of the water. Can’t you cut her some slack?” It is known by all that the Ling family, the wealthiest in Jiangdong, has four young masters, each elegant and exceptional. But the Fourth Young Master is moody, unfriendly to strangers, a germophobe, and afraid of water—by far the most difficult to serve! Zhuo Ran and Zhuo Xi have served the Fourth Young Master since childhood, so they naturally know that the young lady’s CPR last time also took his first kiss. Privately, they speculate that the Fourth Young Master has been insisting on finding her all this time—to settle the score! “Fourth Young Master, although the Mu family has been in M city for a short time, their status is quite high. Miss Mu is their only daughter. "If you’re going to settle the score with her, you might… ”Zhuo Xi suddenly stopped mid-sentence. That was because the man in the back abruptly raised his chin, his dark eyes heavy with inquiry, staring at her as if she were a monster, and said,“Who said I wanted to settle the score with her?” Zhuo Ran nearly lost control of the steering wheel, and Zhuo Xi opened her mouth in disbelief! When was the last time the Fourth Young Master spoke? It was so long ago no one could remember! Faced with their surprise, Ling Lie narrowed his eyes slightly, his bright gaze reflecting a trace of danger, but Zhuo Xi, fearless, boldly asked,“Then why are you looking for her?” Ling Lie smiled faintly, closed the photos in his hand, and looked out the window. Heavy rain poured down, and even though it was a midsummer afternoon, the sky was gloomy, and mist shrouded everything. Through the darkened car windows, visibility was poor. “I don’t know.” Ling Lie said only these three words. The Zhuo brothers were startled again. Zhuo Ran sharply turned the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes! Following inertia, all three were thrown forward, thankfully all wearing seatbelts. Ling Lie’s forehead hit the leather seat but didn’t break the skin. “Fourth Young Master!” Zhuo Xi’s heart jumped as she scolded her brother and unbuckled her seatbelt to check on the man behind. “Why are you driving like this? " It’s raining, why don’t you slow down?” “I…” Zhuo Ran looked pale. “Someone hit us!”“This is the ring road, who could possibly hit us?”“Someone did, I’m not lying. "We almost crashed into her! ”“Fourth Young Master, are you alright?” As the brothers hurried to deal with the aftermath, a small white figure suddenly slipped past Zhuo Xi from behind and quickly climbed into the car! The agile and nimble movement looked like it had been rehearsed a hundred times! Water dripped down her body, soaking the car seats and floor mats. She crawled beside Ling Lie, curling up and trembling as she said, “Drive! Quickly!” Zhuo Ran glanced through the review mirror. The figure trembling in the back seat was wearing a white long dress, soaked through, clinging to her figure along with her black hair. She had a good figure—at least by female standards, something to be proud of. Droplets of water continued to drip from her. Her pale face was half hidden, making her expression hard to read. But her flawless profile, high nose bridge, and elegantly curved chin all marked her as a true beauty. She held a small bag tightly against her chest, looking nervous and wary.Judging by her voice and youthful skin, she could not be older than eighteen—a pitiful little girl. Such heavy rain. Such a dangerous highway. Such a reckless attempt to stop the car. What a strange little girl! Zhuo Xi’s mouth twitched. She opened the rear door to check on the Fourth Young Master, not to make things easy for strangers. Moreover, the Fourth Young Master’s car was not a place for just anyone to sit! Before the Fourth Young Master could get angry, Zhuo Xi frowned and grabbed the girl’s collar, preparing to throw her out! This sudden culprit almost caused an accident! “Wait! Sir, someone is chasing me. "Please, just take me outside the city!” She pulled out one-hundred-yuan bills from her small bag and held out a thousand, saying, “Taking a taxi from downtown via the ring road to outside the city costs about a hundred. I’ll pay you a thousand. How about that?” Zhuo Xi was stunned. First by the strange fare, then by the face that seemed more and more familiar. Just as an answer was about to surface, Zhuo Xi opened her mouth wide and looked at Ling Lie:“Fourth Young Master, she… she is Mu—”
