The girl was so upset that she flipped her hands over to stop him, only to let his broad palms grab hers instead.

“You can’t touch; you can’t touch any part of me… Zhan Muqian, I hate you!”

The normally arrogant tigress blushed with embarrassed anxiety, and her cry rose into a shrill pitch.

It was not because she did not want to retaliate…

But the truth of the matter was, their difference in strength was too much.

Based on physique alone, Zhan Muqian was more than a head taller.

The man standing behind her easily encircled her with his arms without a word.

She swore, through clenched teeth, that if he were to do anything to her… she would sue him! She would sue him into bankruptcy!

However, the general did not take any further action.

Hooping her soft and slender waist with his broad and steady arms, he asked hoarsely after a momentary silence, “Are you resisting because… I’d hurt you that night?”

Her palm-sized face turned scorching red instantly.

D*mn, d*mn, d*mn!

She was absolutely regretful of her past actions…

If it was not because her bastard father had driven her nuts, she would rather die than to touch him…

She had originally planned to share a wanton night with this handsome uncle only. By doing that, she would have walked away with the added benefit of shaking off the fate of being exiled into military confinement as well.

After all, she was about to turn 18… and to tell others that she was still a virgin at 18 would be too embarrassing.

Since the hymen had to be torn some day, it did not matter who did it, right?

She had reckoned that to have General Zhan, whom she knew as Jiang Li’s crush, as her first man would have earned her bragging rights.

In the end, it was not something she was happy about at all! In fact, she was pulled into a self-made hell by this unreasonable old rogue!

She was married now, for no apparent reason and forced to abide by his rules.

…

She made a weak attempt to rebut. “Anyway, I’m not going to argue with you. Uncle Zhan… you’re too big for me. We aren’t compatible at all!”

She was only 18 whereas he was already 29!

Why should she find a man who was almost twice her age to be her husband?

Even if she really needed to get married, she would rather look for fresh meat 1 who would serve her all-day long!

The more she thought about it, the more regretful she became…

The man behind her stifled a chuckle and said, “I didn’t know you were so scared about this… You’ll get used to it in no time… Once we do it more often, Mianmian, you won’t find it too big for you.”

She had relaxed a while ago, only to frown when she heard his words.

Get used to it…?

Do it more often…?

Once she realized what he was hinting at, she protested loudly. “Zhan Muqian, you have a filthy mind! Are you a man, or what?! I’m referring to age… our age! You’re too old; I like fresh meat!”

The general was not antagonized, which was rare and he even let her go.

“It’s pointless to go for fresh meat. There’s no divorce in military marriages.”

She glared and hollered angrily, “What’s the big deal with a military marriage?! Why can’t I divorce? A military marriage is still a marriage between two persons. We aren’t compatible on so many grounds. I don’t care; I want a divorce!”

With a half-smile, he carried her to the bed.

After putting her down, he dipped his head to give her a peck on her forehead.

“If needed… there’s still a way to get a divorce in a military marriage.”

Her eyes brightened. “What’s the way?”

“You can be involved in an extramarital affair. A military man can ask for a divorce when made a cuckold. However… the adulterous pair will be jailed. Jail term is three years or more, or even life imprisonment.”

She looked at him with wide-eyed disbelief, “…” WQNMLGB!
