The moment Xiao XiRan tried to fight for his feelings for her; she clearly felt his love and protectiveness. But Marlene doesn't know what to do, as trepidation enveloped her heart.
Marlene doesn't regret having a son with Xiao XiRan, even though she can abort the child, it is against her belief; every life is a treasure, whether it was accidentally or intentionally made.
Besides, even though Xiao XiRan have abducted and chained her in his bedroom, Marlene was never treated badly like a slave, but a wife who has been taken care of.
Yes, Xiao XiRan might have taken her innocence prematurely, but Marlene doesn't want to admit that it happened when she started to feel something for him.
He was a hardworking person; very loving and gentle, despite his playfulness; Xiao XiRan will do what he can in a nice way, as long as his patience doesn't reach its limit.
Xiao XiRan's attitude is to do everything just to get whatever he wants, no matter what consequences waiting for him. Yes, it is something that Marlene observed when they were together.
It is why Marlene understood why Xiao XiRan is fighting for her and their child; without any fear and hesitation, he is willing to fight anyone who blocks his way.
Marlene can't help but sighed in her heart. Xiao XiRan is stubborn, but he is someone who will not give up anyone he loved. She can only say one thing which she mumbled. "What should I do?"
Hearing Marlene's voice, Xiao XiRan who almost didn't try to breathe due to fear after his father looked at him with a warning, finally turned his attention to her.
Seeing Marlene in Zhiyuan's arms, Xiao XiRan's face instantly turned dark. His heart is exploding in anger while his possessiveness and jealousy covered his mind.
When Xiao XiRan's eyes fall on Zhiyuan's arms that are hooked on Marlene's waist, he can't help but cursed in his mind. 'This pervert tiger! I will kill you!'
"Xi Zhiyuan! You! Take your arms away from my wife!" Xiao XiRan seethed in anger. He clenched his fist like he wanted to punch Zhiyuan on his face.
Marlene: "..." What the hell is his problem?! He almost burned me!
Zhiyuan: "…" This stupid brat! Still jealous of me?! Why are these brats always jealous of me?!
Zhiyuan's face turned black while looking at Xiao XiRan with a disdainful look on his eyes. 'Why did I consider this boy like my child if he even gets jealous of me?!' He said in his mind.
A felling of irritation for being treated like someone else, Zhiyuan can't help to hiss as he simmered. "You're such a stupid brat! You almost burned my best friend!"
Xiao XiRan: "…" Why would I?
"You're an idiot! I'm not stupid! Do you really think I will let my wife get burned?" Xiao XiRan retaliated while he pulled Marlene towards him; making her face bump into his chest.
Marlene: "…" I will kill him myself if he continue to do this!
Staring with a murderous gaze towards each other, Xiao XiRan and Zhiyuan was about to quarrel again, Marlene fumed. "Stop it! Can you give us some time to breathe?!"
"Continue to fight with each other and I will knock the both of you!" Marlene blustered before they can react. But Xiao XiRan's words made her body stiffened.
"What happen to you? You admitted that you love me, but why are you so afraid to marry me? Your fear, it is not so you." Xiao XiRan asked in a casually calm and relaxed manner.
However, Xiao XiRan's eyes show a meaningful glare as he looked down at Marlene; imprisoning her on his arms, waiting for her to answer his questions.
Deep on Xiao XiRan's thoughts, 'This is not how she was before. It is not her usual attitude. What exactly happened to her? She was a domineering and a fearless woman before.'
