After Joel's return,as expected,Primrose was"taught"by her parents.That's right,even though they usually love her very much,getting married is very important,and she's rebellious to this extent.For people with traditional views like theirs,it's also a big deal.

Primrose quietly sat on the sofa for two hours,listening to her parents constantly explain that girls should pay attention to their appearance and act tenderly and modestly instead of being so rebellious that they dye their hair before the wedding day.

"Primrose,please keep in mind that you are an adult and take responsibility for your own actions.Be careful with every single thing you do."

Primrose's father harshly reminded him that he had no choice but to nod repeatedly to show that he understood.Her mother,sitting next to her,was also quick to help.

"Right.Fortunately,Joel is a delicate and kind guy.He doesn't complain about my hair.Next time,pay more attention."

Primrose heard the sentence,casually nodded,and went up to the room,feeling her back was about to break in two from fatigue.Her parents seemed to be very pleased with Joel,constantly complimenting him with good words,which made Primrose feel a headache just thinking about it.

How did they know that the Joel they always praised was the same smug man who had kissed her on the lips last night?Primrose pouted.

Experiencing a night of being"tortured"by Joel until midnight and still having to be obedient and peaceful to sit upright since morning,she felt that all of the strength in her body had been drained in an instant.

Primrose returned to her room when the unexpected ringing of a text message alarm startled her.Once she calmed down and glanced at the screen,she was taken aback by the content of the message.

"Sweetie,what are you doing?I'm eating candy,but it's not as sweet as your lips."

Without standing in front of Joel,Primrose could vaguely imagine his triumphant face now.She tried to take a deep breath to suppress the feeling of wanting to punch this person,then angrily threw the phone on the bed.She decided not to notice,much less communicate with this strange man,or else she would soon go mad.

Primrose finally had a peaceful day.The next day,as usual,she got up early to go to work.When she arrived,she unexpectedly saw someone she shouldn't have seen.

Joel leaned against the bright red car behind him,raised his eyebrows,and straightened his back,trying to show his most charming and amiable appearance.He was holding a large bouquet of sunflowers in his hand when Primrose appeared,and he smiled and walked towards her.

"This is for you."

Primrose just glared at Joel with no intention of taking it.

"What do you want to do?Making trouble in front of my company?"

Faced with Primrose's interrogation,Joel,on the other hand,calmly stroked his hair,and then smiled gently.

"Of course not.I'm chasing my fiancée.Don't you think it's sincere enough?"

Primrose's gaze grew sharper,and Joel,unafraid,placed the bouquet of sunflowers in her hand,adding softly.

"This morning I was going to buy roses,but I feel they are somewhat ordinary and superficial.I think only the sunflower's boldness and confidence facing the sun are worthy of you."

Primrose shivered at his words.She curled her lips mockingly.

Didn't you think a billionaire like you was good at flattery and pleasant to talk to?"

Joel deliberately took a step closer,bringing the distance between him and Primrose even closer.The tip of her nose was also vaguely smelling the pleasant perfume on him.

"How can it be as sweet as your lips?I said my lips are the sweetest."

Primrose knew he was teasing her on purpose;her face quickly turned red as she glared at him.Joel also did not want to continue to anger her,so he just added a little smile.

"Okay,from now on,I will give flowers to my fiance every day.Please help me text her to be touched quickly and to love me a lot."

Primrose just wanted to refute it after seeing Joel add.

"Also,remember about the family dinner;I will come to the company to pick you up after work."

Having said that,as expected,Primrose would be angry,Joel quickly turned around and waved at her.The frustrated Primrose had no choice but to stomp her feet hard.Obviously,he was here to remind her and warn her not to be absent from dinner tonight.

Primrose helplessly hugged a bouquet of flowers and entered the company;colleagues just saw her and happily started a conversation.

"Primrose,what kind of handsome and pompous guy gave you flowers this morning?So happy."

Primrose just pouted slightly,her tone not very cheerful in reply.

"Don't mention that name again.He's my fiancé,a soft-spoken guy who can only say a few sentences that give people goosebumps."

Colleagues who saw Primrose's expression also covered their mouths with laughter.

"Primrose,don't speak so harshly.Maybe you two will fall in love with each other.After all,he seemed very sincere,giving me such a large and beautiful bouquet of flowers."

Primrose just thought of her and Joel becoming a couple and shook her head.If that were really true,perhaps every day she would quarrel with him to the point that the house could not have a single moment of peace.

So,let's quickly end this stupid thing.The better to get rid of that damned engagement.What era has it been?Why are her parents and Joel's parents so old-fashioned to be engaged?

The more Primrose thought,the more assertive she became with her thoughts.She has to act so badly tonight that Joel's whole family will hate her!

So in the end,when it was time for Joel to see Primrose again,she soon changed into a tight crop top and a pair of ripped jeans.Joel obviously guessed Primrose's intentions by looking at her,looking straight into her smug eyes,and acting as usual.

"Let me take you to the restaurant."

Primrose had taken advantage of her lunch break to buy a somewhat rude outfit and deliberately put on heavier makeup,thinking that her appearance at the moment was very disgusting.She comfortably rested her back on the car,clamoring and singing.At a glance,she could only see the side of his face,but not his expression.

Primrose thought to himself that Joel was trying to calm down after the shock,pursing his lips to suppress a smile.

The two walked into the reserved restaurant together,and Joel also casually held Primrose's hand.She narrowed her eyes in displeasure,but thinking that the engagement might be annulled later,she silently kept her composure.

"Mom and Dad,I'm back with Primrose."

Primrose and Joel's parents,who had both been sitting in the dining room since early,were surprised to see Primrose's strange appearance.With her revealing clothes and shiny platinum hair,her face was still a bit brazen.She looked like a rebellious teenage girl now.

Primrose's mother frowned,just about to open her mouth to remind,when Joel spoke,before patting Primrose's head.

"Yesterday I jokingly told Primrose that she liked cool girls,so she purposely dressed like that.It's my fault.Don't look at Primrose like that.She's shy."

Joel spoke very calmly,every word expressing the desire to protect and protect Primrose,making her suddenly feel guilty for doing that thoughtless act.But after a few seconds of contrition,Primrose quickly shook her head.No matter how good Joel is,she and Joel can't get married!

This thought suddenly made Primrose's expression misty.She sat down in her chair,pursed her lips slightly,and looked around.Her parents were obviously glaring at her,as if warning,expressing their displeasure with her rudeness at the moment.At first glance,Joel's parents seem to be more gentle,just looking at her with loving eyes.

Primrose rolled her eyes,thinking about what to do next,but Joel assumed she was nervous.His arm under the table slowly took Primrose's slender hands to give her warmth,leaning slightly to encourage her.

"Don't worry,I'm here.I'll protect you."

Joel's low,serious voice made Primrose stiffen,and the gentle voice made her numb little by little.Primrose quickly shook her head so as not to bask in his kindness,then nodded silently to show her understanding.

The meal began.Not beyond Primrose's expectations,the story still revolved around her and Joel's marriage.Both sides of the family agreed that they wanted the wedding to take place as quickly as possible.After all,both of them were not young anymore.

Primrose sat next to Joel,not knowing how to interrupt her parents'conversation,just trying her best to finish the food in front of her quickly and by eating as badly as she could.Anyway,she didn't think any family would love a daughter-in-law who ate as much as if she hadn't eaten in a month like this.

Primrose ate happily,trying to make a loud chewing sound to show her ignorance.Joel next to him was extremely lenient and kind enough to help her order more dishes she liked.Primrose ate until her cheeks puffed up.

"Can the wedding be next month?Then Primrose's work will be less,very free.That time is very reasonable."

Primrose's father spoke up,and Primrose choked on the food in his mouth,covering his mouth with a dry cough.Joel was beside her,still patting her back intently to make her feel better,then handed her a glass of water.

"Eat a little slowly;be careful of choking."

Primrose choked until her face turned red,coughed for a few hours,then reluctantly became more comfortable and hesitantly glanced around.Her parents'eyes were narrowed in dissatisfaction;Joel's parents were not disgusted.On the contrary,they also called the waiter to bring Primrose a glass of water.

Feeling that this method was not working,Primrose began to move on to the next plan.

"Next month?It's too early;I don't want to get married yet.I want to continue a one-night stand with a few more people before marrying Joel."

Primrose thought this news was shocking enough—enough to make Joel's parents consider her a slutty and lowly woman.She smugly raised her eyebrows at Joel,not having time to be happy before hearing his mother's approval.

"Okay,it's all right.Previously,Joel also had a few girlfriends.You also need to love a few people to have more experience in love.At that time,the feelings of both of them also become stronger."

Primrose almost gasped.How could his mother be so calm about her hanging out with so many men?Don't they feel she's too arbitrary?

"I don't want to do housework,I don't want to have children,and I like spending money.Can everyone accept this?"

The more Primrose spoke,the more exaggerated it became,directly wanting to reach the limits of the Joel family's tolerance so that they could annul the engagement.But contrary to her expectations,from start to finish,their attitude was extremely mild.

"Okay.You and Joel are young and need to build up their feelings first;there is no need to rush to have children.The housework already has a maid to do,so don't take it too seriously."

This time it was Joel's father who responded,causing Primrose's eyes to widen in surprise.What kind of fairy parent is this?You are so unruly that they also accept you as a daughter-in-law?

"Also,in the future,all my bank cards will be kept by you,so you can buy whatever you want.I will make money just for you to spend as you please."

Joel was also added,further confusing Primrose.Their kindness left her at a loss for words.

Primrose still wanted to do something childish to fight her way out of this bizarre marriage,but her father spoke in a low voice.

"Okay,Primrose,let's put an end to your rude behavior.Everything has been decided.Next month,you and Joel will have a wedding."

Her father cleared his throat to announce it and continued to look her in the eyes with determination.

"Don't say rude things like before;we can't tolerate your disobedience anymore."

Primrose's father's voice echoed throughout the room with an unquestionable determination.Primrose pursed her lips for a long time,still not daring to protest.Obviously,her thoughtless actions and purpose were seen by everyone.Joel's parents are kind to her,but that doesn't mean her parents will let her talk nonsense.

Primrose had no choice but to sigh.Marriage was obviously bound to happen,and it couldn't be changed anymore.As Primrose silently tried to accept the truth,Joel also noticed her frustration and quietly pulled her to her feet.

"People just keep talking.I took Primrose out to get some fresh air."

Primrose desperately did not resist,letting Joel slowly take her hand and leave out onto the restaurant balcony.Finally,he let go of her hand,gently grabbed her shoulder,and whispered.

"Primrose,because my words last night and the bouquet this morning made you angry with me.Did you do that?"

Primrose couldn't see his expression and could only be honest.

"Partly.Since I never had any intention of marrying someone I've only met a few times,I'm a bit confused.I'm also somewhat hostile towards this marriage."

Primrose pursed her lips and spoke her true thoughts.Originally,she had thought it was okay to get married yesterday but thinking about it again still felt like a myth.Moreover,Joel's jokes and initiative also made her anxious to escape.

"I won't force you.Relax a bit,okay?"

Joel pondered Primrose's words,replying softly.Primrose had no choice but to agree.In her father's words earlier,everything is like a board that has been built for a boat.

Joel took advantage of Primrose's deep thought,bent his lips,kissed her lightly on the forehead,and whispered.

"Besides,your parents already said they would marry you to me.Sooner or later,you will be mine."

Joel's confidence and his half-smile silenced Primrose.Her forehead was burning hot,and her ears were also red involuntarily.She was obviously unable to resist this teasing.She resentfully looked at Joel,only to see his hesitation,like the first time they met.

"We used to be more intimate than that.Why is it so embarrassing when I kiss your forehead now?Need to revisit the past?"

Joel is the type who can't be serious for too long,making Primrose's emotions feel like they're on a roller coaster and extremely chaotic.One second she was touched by his gentleness,and the next second she was so angry that her face turned red.

"Okay,let's go in,my fiancé."

Joel also didn't let Primrose dwell on that feeling for too long,taking her hand again.The two parents had obviously finished discussing the necessary things,and when they saw them entering,they announced

"Primrose,do you have any marriage requirements?For example,what color do you want the wedding room painted,or what do you want Joel and you to do before the wedding?"

Joel's mother took Primrose's hand and asked,at which point Primrose returned to her docile posture,pursed her lips,and shook her head.She could only listen to the arrangements of the two families'parents,not daring to continue to be rude.

"Good,then prepare well for the wedding.There's not much time left."

Joel's mother further advised that,anyway,she loves her daughter-in-law very much.She had met Primrose when she was young,so she also understood that she was a gentle and docile girl,very intelligent,and very suitable for her son.

How the date ends is not so clear to Primrose.Since the plan didn't work out anyway,she wasn't too focused on everyone's stories anymore.Just thinking about her single life coming to an end gave her a headache.

She'd soon realized that things would come to this step,and she'd rather not go to that bar that night.Maybe she didn't know Joel,and he wasn't interested in her but agreed to this marriage.

In the days that followed,Primrose,under the threat of her parents,obediently stayed at home and did not engage in any more pointless resistance.Joel is also very persistent,buying her a large bouquet of flowers every day—sometimes sunflowers,sometimes fragrant lavender—all delicate flowers with a light scent.

Her colleagues also gradually expressed admiration for Joel's pursuit of her,but perseverance and this way of spending money without blinking are things only a billionaire like Joel can do.At least until now,Primrose has never been given flowers every day by anyone.

Time passes very quickly;finally,a month has passed,and Joel and Primrose's wedding day is near.Primrose has always felt that everything is not real because it all happened so fast.She has not had time to adjust to this new identity.

The night before the wedding,Primrose's parents advised her on many things when helping her arrange clothes and things to put in the suitcase.Tomorrow Primrose will have to move into Joel's house,so their attitude is also more conciliatory than usual,saying only pleasant things in the softest voices.

"Primrose,I know you still don't fully accept this arranged marriage.But later you will understand that Joel is a good guy who can take care of you and give you a happy life."

Primrose's father spoke solemnly and seriously while helping Primrose pack her luggage.Primrose nodded repeatedly.Based on her knowledge of Joel,she also knew he was trustworthy.

It's just that the feelings between the two are not deep enough,so she feels that the marriage is a bit sudden.

When Primrose finished packing,her parents only instructed her a little more and then left the room,reminding her to go to bed early.Primrose obediently nodded,and she wearily laid down on the bed.

The sound of the phone ringing in the quiet space became clearer.Primrose looked at the name displayed on the screen,took a deep breath,and pressed listen.

"What's up?"

The sound of the wind was heard in the distance,along with Joel's steady breathing.He seems to be standing outside on the balcony,enjoying the wind,so his voice also becomes melodious like the sound of the wind blowing,adding a layer of affection.

"Ready for your new identity,sweetie?"

Whenever Joel wants to tease Primrose,he calls her"sweetie,"but the sound is also sweeter.Primrose silently scolded Joel,who knew how to flirt,snorting in response.

"If I say no,what if I say I want to run away?What are you going to do?"

Joel's laughter came from the other end of the line,clearly happy.

"Is that so?Don't you like having a handsome husband who is a billionaire and spends money every day?There are a lot of girls out there who want to marry me."

Primrose narrows his eyes,and Joel also knows how to promote himself.

"Then whoever wants to marry you,let them take it;I don't want to."

Joel laughed louder,and his voice was also infected with a layer of faltering.

"Okay,go to bed early;don't stress about tomorrow's wedding."

Joel paused for a moment,then lowered his voice,making it all the more appealing and gentle,numbing Primrose,and her mind momentarily stalled.

"Good night,my wife."

Joel finished speaking and quickly turned off the phone,leaving Primrose with a fluttering heart rate and an unstoppable increase in heart rate.

She blushed and secretly scolded Joel for being a rogue man who could only play with her feelings.
