1.8% The Devil who devoured Snow White / Chapter 6: Be patient [EDITED]

Chapter 6: Be patient [EDITED]

The only time Mengmeng was able to see her fiancé again was on the day of their wedding. It was during that day that she ended up falling in love with him at first sight… again. Seeing the man in a white suit was enough to captivate her heart. He was the most handsome man she had ever laid her eyes on. 

She ended up confusing her superficial adoration into love. He may have no love in his eyes but at that moment, she was confident that she could make him turn her way. She had always loved a challenge.

Huh? Always loved?

"Welcome, loved ones. We are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the unity of Bai Jingye and Bai Mengxi." 

Mengmeng's attention was brought back to the event when the Civil celebrant's voice reached her ears. 

The wedding ceremony didn't take long. It wasn't grand either. The only guests were the old man, his trusted right hand, and Bai Jingye's father and brother.

Even if she was trying to turn a blind eye, she couldn't help but wonder. They were the only guests. No friends considering how rich the family was. 

Her wedding was small. It was not like she was complaining about how things were. She just couldn't help but feel uncomfortable for some reason. Strange... really strange. 

It was the first time she was meeting the other members of the family since the old man had prohibited them from visiting his manor. It was only normal for Bai Jingye's mother not to attend when she was so against the marriage. 

She was an adoptive child of the old man… She could understand the reason why they were being unfriendly. She was not a real member of their family. She had no work. No background that could benefit them. She was only a girl that had been spoiled by the old man.

The urge to back out from the wedding was strong. Her instincts were telling her that if she continued, she would regret it. It would be too late.

"Bai Mengxi, do you take Bai Jingye as your husband?"

She felt like a sheep, offered on a platter for the wolf to devour her.

'You can't marry him!' Her instincts shouted at her. 'You don't even love him!'

"I-I..." She stuttered. She turned her gaze at him but the moment her eyes landed on his brown orbs, she never felt so enchanted that she ended up blurting out, "I do..."

'Idiot! He may be hot and sexy but you don't love him! Take back your words!' Something inside her felt so against the decision she made but despite the indifferent look in her groom's eyes, she couldn't help but be absorbed into it as if she was being pulled into a black hole.

'It's alright, we can learn to love each other later in our marriage.' She thought as a smile formed on her lips. Marriage was not the end, it was the beginning for her.

After the ceremony, no one congratulated them except for Bai Keran. "You are now officially part of the Bai family. Congratulations, child."

"Thank you, grandpa." She smiled sweetly at him and even gave him a hug. 

"Jingye, you better treat your wife well, okay?" The old man said after pulling away from the hug.

"Yes." It was a cold answer.

Mengmeng tried to suppress another smile when she heard his reply. She couldn't help but be filled with hope inside. Even if they didn't marry each other out of love, she was sure that they would learn to love each other in the future.

The bald man approached the old man and announced while holding a phone. "Mr. Bai, you have a call."

Bai Keran excused himself from the couple to answer the call.

Just like Bai Jingye, the others were indifferent to her, especially his father. He didn't hide his hostility against her. He left without even congratulating them. On the other hand, his older brother was different.

"Welcome to the family, sister-in-law." Bai Zichen approached her with a big grin plastered on his lips. 

Like his brother, he was tall and had a nice build. His dyed blonde hair stood out in the room. His friendly features and his playful, yet charming smile, made him look more approachable than his brother. 

"Thank you…" Mengmeng trailed off with a shy smile. He was such an eye candy. If only her new husband was as welcoming as him.

Now that she thought of it, Bai Zichen's bright and kind personality resembled his grandfather. Bai Keran in his younger years should look more like him since they mirrored each other so much.

"Congratulations, brother." He finally turned to look at his younger brother.

Bai Jingye's eyes narrowed as he glared at his brother which only made the other man smirked.

"This is why I told you to always be obedient and listen to the old fox from the start. Now look at what you have gotten yourself into. You ended up marrying a dumb btch."

"W-what?" Mengmeng looked at him in shock and disbelief. Did she hear things right? Did he just call her 'dumb btch'? Did he just insult her?

Her brother-in-law turned to her and smiled sardonically. "I guess the only thing she has right now is a pretty face."

This man… he was not being friendly at all! And here she thought that he was different! 

She clenched her fists tightly as she tried her best to calm down. 

Don't punch him. He may be an ass but he was still her brother-in-law. It was her wedding day; she was not going to allow him to spoil her mood. Ignore him for now. Be patient.

Bai Zichen waited for her to erupt just so he could make matters worse for her but surprisingly, all he received was a glare. He scoffed. "Looks like this whore is not that dumb at all but still looks brainless." He turned back to Bai Jingye and sadly said, "I feel sorry for you, brother. I wish you good luck in dealing with a ludicrous gold-digger."

A strange glint of light flashed in her eyes. The side of her lips curled up and a small laugh escaped her lips as she retorted, "You're as funny as a blind toddler in a shitty minefield, brother-in-law." 

She crossed her arms and smirked, her innocent face turning into something devious. "If you're going to be a smartass, first you have to be smart, otherwise you're just an ass. Your anus must be jealous of the amount of shit that comes out of your mouth."

Chapter 7: Sign this [EDITED]

Both the brothers turned her way, startled when they heard her response.

Mengmeng soon realized the words that subconsciously came out of her mouth, she covered her lips with her hand and blushed embarrassedly. What's gotten into her?

Bai Zichen was about to say something but was interrupted when the old man came back. 

"Huh? Why are you all still standing here?"

"Ah, I was just trying to know more about my sister-in-law, grandpa." The older brother glanced at Mengmeng which made her instinctively shrink back at the sudden goosebumps she felt. She moved a bit to the side just to hide behind her husband.

The old man didn't seem to notice the sudden change in the bride since he was not looking at her. "You can do that later. We should head to the restaurant I reserved. You all must be starving."

"I would like to join but sadly, I have a business meeting to attend, I am a busy man after all," said the older brother. He turned to the bride and grinned. "I'll see you next time, sis. I look forward to getting to know you better."

Ugh. It would be better if she never saw him again.

After having dinner, they were dropped off at a luxury hotel that Bai Keran prepared for the newlywed couple. It was the place where he wanted them to spend the wedding night. It was weird to have the old man prepare everything but not a word of complaint was heard from either of the newly married couple. 

When Mengmeng entered the room, the only pajamas she saw was a stunning see-through nightdress. She had to quickly hide it from her husband before he could even notice it. She ran out of the room out of embarrassment and locked herself in the bathroom.

"Ugh... is this even considered a dress?" She mumbled to herself while staring at the clothing, her face in its darkest shade of red.

It was a wedding night... Newly wedded couples normally... made love so it was only normal to wear something like this just to set the mood, right?

She was aware of her beauty; she has an appearance of gentle intelligence. No one could stand above her in beauty, at least that was what she thought. She hasn't met someone prettier than her. She was so confident enough to the point she sounded narcissistic.

Mengmeng stared at her own reflection, her long ebony black hair falling softly around her waist and framing her perfect heart-shaped face, the contrast making her skin seem as pale as the moon. Snow White. Their features were perfectly matched. 

She would always catch the eyes of the men in the room. She never failed to notice how the male servants would steal glances at her as she walked into a room but for that same reason, the female servants considered her a vixen.

Strangely enough, she wasn't able to captivate Bai Jingye. If she wore such a seductive nightdress, would he finally want her? If not, there were only two possible reasons why he was avoiding her: either he preferred men or he already has someone he loves. Either way, he was now her husband. Mengmeng was going to make him fall for her.

She went out of the bathroom and saw the man who was now her husband, sitting at the side of the bed. His attention was not bestowed to her since he seemed to be distracted by the document he was holding.

How should she address him? She had not seen him for the past few days. He was probably avoiding her but… he wouldn't be able to resist her now.

She carefully approached him and stood in front of him. She was feeling embarrassed with the dress she was wearing but it was the only nightwear that was prepared for her.

As if finally noticing her presence, Bai Jingye slowly raised his head to look at her only to be caught off-guard by how close she was standing in front of him. The intoxicating scent coming from her entered his nostrils which slowly reached his brain.

"U-um… there were no other clothes…" She stammered as she covered her chest shyly with her arms. "I-I'm sorry…"

Sorry? What was she sorry for? For wearing such an alluring dress?

"B-Bai Jingye…?"

Hearing her call his name in such a melodious voice shook him out of stupor. He knitted his brows together into a deep frown the moment he realized what just happened to him. He squinted at her through hardened eyes. Every muscle on his face was tense.

The sudden change in the atmosphere made Mengmeng flinch. She suddenly felt suffocated by the pressure in the room. This was not the kind of atmosphere she was looking forward to. She instinctively backed off from him. What was he suddenly so angry about?

The man in front of her stood up, his voice ice-cold as he said, "Sign this." He reached out the document to her.

Sign?

She turned to the document he was reaching forward to her.

"Don't just look at it."

Once again, she flinched at the tone of his voice which made her unconsciously accept the file in a rush. Her restless eyes fell on the paper and the moment she read a word in it; she shot her head back at him in disbelief. "Divorce?!"

How can he ask her for divorce when they just got married?!
