Grabbing the collar of Housekeeper Qin, she pressed him on to the pillar behind him. The strength of her hand was so great that Housekeeper Qin was feeling suffocated. His face was turning blue and green due to the loss of air but facing Su Yanyan's anger, he didn't dare to confront her.

"What do you mean that you don't know what is going on in his head?" Su Yanyan sneered unconsciously increasing the strength of her hands.

"I-I am not a magician. How can I know what he is thinking?" Housekeeper Qin argued.

Su Yanyan snorted. "Who's talking about being a magician? Aren't you his puppeteer? Aren't you the one who said that I have complete control over Long Xun and he listens to everything that I say?"

"What happened to all of that?" she asked.

Housekeeper Qin was so scared that his entire body started trembling and his whole face was covered up with sweat. "C-calm down, Su Yanyan. Please, calm down, " he begged.

But his begging made things worse. Su Yanyan was fuming mad. She gripped his collar tightly and pressed him on the pillar making his head slam on the pillar. "My marriage can happen in any second now and you want me to calm down?" she roared.

Even though his entire body was pressed up against the pillar and his head was slammed on to it, he didn't feel any pain because he was just so scared at that moment. He was trying to make Su Yanyan calm down and at the same time, he was also looking up towards Long Xun's room to check whether he was coming out or not. Coming to this point in their plan, he didn't want Long Xun to be suspicious about them and end this whole matter today itself.

"Su Yanyan, please..... calm down. Please, calm down...." he pleaded with almost tears coming out from his eyes.

But Su Yanyan was not having any of it. She was not ready to listen to anything or anyone. Long Xun's words were revolving in her mind while in front of her was the marriage certificate waiting for her signature to be done upon. If not for that deal, she would have already run away from this house the moment Long Xun announced that he was going to marry her.

"I won't do this marriage, " she declared pushing Housekeeper Qin away.

Pushed away by her, Housekeeper Qin almost slumped on the ground but he held himself up. He couldn't understand what Su Yanyan's problem was. What's the harm in getting married to Long Xun? Instead of harming, this marriage will only beef up this plan. By becoming Long Xun's wife, he would only get more reasons to chose Su Yanyan over Li Youbin.

Su Yanyan's denial of this marriage would not only harm their plan but also kill them. He didn't want that to happen. So, he quickly decided to persuade her to agree with this marriage for the time being. Once their plan is successful, Long Xun would be like a dead fish on the chopping table, and then she can just tear up the marriage certificate and forget the whole thing. It's that simple.

However, before he could get a chance to convince her for this marriage, a knife was placed on his neck. His face paled with fright and he looked at Su Yanyan as if she had gone insane. He didn't dare to move or make any reckless action. "Su Yanyan w-what are you doing?"

"Make him change his decision, " she ordered.

"W-what?"

"If you don't want to die then make him change this decision, " she threatened him.

Housekeeper Qin was shaking. He wanted to convince her but with a knife on his neck, all he could think was how to save his own life. "Su Yanyan, listen to me....." he pleaded.

"What?" she roared.

"Look, I-I think getting married to him is the best option for us," he said in a shivering voice, his eye glancing at Su Yanyan again and again.

"You want me to be married to him?" she sneered.

"No, no, definitely not. " he shook his head vigorously showing his disapproval. Seeing that her expressed eased at his disapproval, Housekeeper Qin sighed before continuing. "What I mean to say is that this marriage can help us in our plan. If you get married to him then it would only make him more attached to you and he would choose you when the decision time arrives before him," he explained.

Hearing his explanation, Su Yanyan snorted. His words were like adding oil to the fire. She knew that these people never cared about others. She knew that they would go to any limit just for their benefits, for their motive, and their goal.

"You know what Housekeeper Qin, I'll just tear off this marriage certificate. If there is no certifiable, then there will be no marriage," she smiled while placing the knife down at the table and taking the marriage papers in her hand to tear them off.

"Have you gone mad?" Housekeeper Qin yelled snatching the paper out from Su Yanyan's hand. He quickly hid them behind his back, as if they were some kind of treasure that he didn't want anyone to touch.

"Give me the papers." Su Yanyan demanded.

"No, Su Yanyan. I won't let you destroy our plan." Housekeeper Qin denied.

"Do you want to die?" Su Yanyan asked through gritted teeth.

"If this marriage doesn't happen, then Long Xun would know about us and then he kills us anyways. So, instead of dying from his hand, I think it's better to die from your hands," he argued moving back.

"Don't test my patience. Give me those damn papers." Su Yanyan yelled.

"No, you calm down first. " he retorted taking a step back. His eyes darted toward the upper floor and his expression eased when he saw nobody. He quickly deduced that Long Xun might be in the shower and hence he didn't hear all of this commotion going on in here. For this, he was glad, and yet at the same time, he knew he didn't have much time. He has to do anything to make Su Yanyan comply and for their plan to go on.
