Seeking love through marriage: Mr. is too arrogant

Before Jiang Manxue had time to finish reading the post, the knock on the door rang again.

"Ma'am." The butler's voice sounded from outside the door again. "Sir, please answer the phone."

"..." Jiang Manxue didn't want to pay attention at first.

However, who knew that the butler actually changed the phone call to hands-free mode.

Only Lu Sichen's voice could be heard outside through the door.

"Jiang Manxue, open the door." His voice was undeniably tough.

Jiang Manxue had no choice but to get out of bed and walk to the door.

She had been crying before, but now her eyes were red and swollen that could not be concealed.Jiang Manxue wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand, and straightened her clothes, not wanting the housekeeper outside the door to see signs of her being in a bad mood.

She didn't open the door until she felt she was done.

The housekeeper nodded slightly, and called her: "Ma'am, sir's phone number."

After speaking, the butler handed the phone to Jiang Manxue.

Jiang Manxue took it with her head down, unwilling to let the housekeeper see her current expression.

"Hello." Jiang Manxue took the phone and moved the receiver to her ear, her voice slightly hoarse. "What's the matter?"

"I asked you to take a walk in the garden, didn't you hear?" Lu Sichen's tone contained obvious dissatisfaction.

Jiang Manxue pursed her lips and said nothing, but resistance was written all over her body.

The housekeeper, on the other hand, stood by the side all the time, not moving at all, nor making any gestures.

"I don't care what you're doing now, just put down what you're doing and go for a walk in the garden." Lu Sichen obviously didn't have much patience, and the words he said were even more irritable with exhausted patience. "Jiang Manxue, you should know that I don't like you resisting me. Do you understand?"

Jiang Manxue's hand hanging by her side was tightly clenched into a fist.

Apparently, she was on the verge of being able to bear it.

"You have to control what I eat and drink. You have to control whether I go out or not. Now even when I go for a walk, do you have to set a time for me?!" Jiang Manxue asked hoarsely. "Lu Sichen, what do you think of me? A puppet?! You'll be happy if you want me to be in your hands all the time, won't you?!"

"Jiang Manxue!" Lu Sichen called Jiang Manxue's name emotionlessly in an instant cold voice, and the threatening taste in his tone became more serious. "Do you think you are still free?! You are the marionette in my hands! You have to do what I tell you to do! From the day you marry me, you must obey me! Don't you Do you think, until now, do you still have the right to choose?!"

Lu Sichen's words came coldly.

From when she heard those sentences to when she understood the meaning.Those voices came into her brain along the pinnae of her ears, and then exploded directly!
Jiang Manxue's clenched hand at the side slowly let go.

She has no right to choose for a long time... She has learned to accept her fate since a long time ago, hasn't she?
"I don't want to repeat it to you again, I will say it for the last time. Get out of your room now! Go for a walk in the garden!"

Jiang Manxue squeezed the phone, tears falling silently.She replied hoarsely, "Yes. I'm going to the garden now..."

It seemed that Lu Sichen just wanted to hear Jiang Manxue's words.He said nothing, just hung up the phone.

Jiang Manxue blinked away tears, raised her hand and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.

When she returned the phone to the housekeeper, there were still tears on her eyelashes.

The housekeeper was full of sympathy, but he didn't say anything after all.He only took a step back to make way for Jiang Manxue.

"Madame, please. Monsieur says you'll have to stay in the garden for half an hour."

Jiang Manxue didn't say anything, left the room directly, and followed the housekeeper to the small garden.

It's late summer and early autumn now.Many of the flowers that were originally raised in the small garden have passed the flowering period, but there are still a few varieties that are still blooming.

When passing by the small pond in the garden, Jiang Manxue stopped.

The lotus in the small pond has also withered, leaving only a few withered leaves, floating slightly yellow on the water.The scene of the pond full of lotus in summer has long since disappeared.In this relatively lush garden, it looks extraordinarily bleak.

"The flowering period of the lotus is really short." Jiang Manxue stood still by the small pond, looked at the withered and yellow lotus leaves, and said with a sigh.

The butler was competent by Jiang Manxue's side.Seeing Jiang Manxue staring at the yellow leaves in a daze, he couldn't help persuading him: "Madam, it's okay. The lotus will bloom again next summer."

Jiang Manxue looked at it for a while, then suddenly asked, "Uncle Xiao, do you think I'm really ugly now?"

He asked this question, but the butler did not answer.

"I'm like the lotus in this pond. I can only be trapped in the water for the rest of my life. The flowering period is so short, the flowers wither and the leaves turn yellow. But I can't live without this water until I die." Jiang Manxue's eyes were red Red. "My best flowering period is over. Now, I am what they are, and I can't bloom anymore."

The butler quietly listened to Jiang Manxue's words.

But he never spoke up.

In the end, they just stood by the pond.Until the butler looked down at the time and reminded her: "Madam, it's time for a walk. You can go back to your room."

Then, Jiang Manxue smiled silently.

Is this going to jail and letting her go alone?
Jiang Manxue couldn't help sneering.However, she didn't listen to the housekeeper and just went back to her room.

Instead, he still stood by the pond and asked, "Uncle Xiao, can you bring me an easel and painting tools?"

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, apparently unable to understand what Jiang Manxue's request meant.

Jiang Manxue didn't explain much, she just turned her head and looked at the housekeeper seriously.

Finally, the housekeeper nodded slightly. "Madam, please wait a moment, I'll send someone to get it for you."

"Thank you."

Since Mr. Lu just ordered her not to go out.Go out of the room for a walk at a fixed time, and if she can do whatever she wants after the walk, then as long as her request does not violate Mr. Lu's arrangement, she should try her best to meet it.

The butler thought so in his heart and sighed.

Jiang Manxue waited on the spot without moving a half step.

When the butler brought what she wanted, she had already maintained the previous posture, standing there silently, looking at the pond with only a few withered yellow leaves floating.

Jiang Manxue thanked the butler, and put the easel on her own.

Then, she sat in front of the easel, stared at the pond for a while, and finally picked up the paintbrush on the side again.

However, the moment she raised her left hand, the tip of the pen touched the drawing paper.

The butler's eyes widened in surprise.
