QT: Against My Will

441 7.65 – Bing Shi Attends Classes With Her Husband For The First Time – War Of The Wickeds

Victor smirked at Nathaniel with a mocking gaze, “Your earlier statement of carrying her in your arms says otherwise. Does the Hauxley clan’s neutral standing still include free food for Silvia LeClére?”

Lu Kai wanted to get rid of the overbearing cold prince visage everyone had of him, slowly but surely. He was a big believer in being polite, having good manners and showing others respect, “I sometimes volunteer my time and resources for the benefit of others independently of their deeds,” he smiled at Elera, indicating how he also helped her with taking care of her bullies.

Elera curled her lips on the outside as a response, sneering inwardly at Nathaniel’s deliberate thoughtfulness and gentleness. Nice guys were nice only on the surface. If one dug deeper, one would quickly discover that nice guys were anything but nice.

Elera reminisced about her first love. While she worked on increasing her net worth, her ‘wonderful’ ex-boyfriend had been cheating her with his boss’s daughter, “Thank you for the earlier deed, I will repay it as soon as possible.”

Lu Kai chuckled at the fearless food lady, taking a small piece of paper out of his chest pocket, “There is no need. Actually...a custom dress and jewellery set will suffice. If you are interested, here are the measurements of the future wearer, and these are the materials I would like you to incorporate into the design. The theme is our nation’s folk culture. My budget is one billion; the time limit will be five years.”

“...” When Elera looked at Nathaniel, she immediately knew that the knowledge she accumulated from a few psychology books would be immediately thrown back at her face. She couldn’t comprehend how there could exist people who were born with something that she couldn’t find the words for. What the heck was going on with this male lead?

There were some rumours that the male lead had been preparing a dowry for his potential mate. Victor thought the rumours were made up by Silvia at first until he saw how Nathaniel threw a similar request at Riley.

Not a short while after, Silvia walked back in search of Nathaniel, finding him on his way to his office, “Would you like to celebrate my first place together?”

.....

Nathaniel lifted his head, and somewhere in his eyes, there lurked a dangerous invitation to play, “I have more important matters to attend,” but if she insisted good enough, he might change his plans.

Holding the finished meat skewers in her hands, tears rolled down Silvia’s eyes as her tongue adjusted to the spiciness in her mouth, “What important matters? I won first place. Is that not important enough?”

“You should start to take refuge in the fact that you’ve crossed my tolerance,” seeing how she acted as Silvia, Lu Kai nodded at Riley and Damon inside the room, closing the door before her eyes, “Don’t expect my help from now on.”

Bing Shi wiped her eyes. Her husband worked hard for the well-being of his family. Sometimes when he was stuck with a problem, he would try to gain some insight from other geniuses other than himself, such as Riley and Damon. But it wasn’t easy to get some assistance when the opposite party viewed him as an enemy.

Seeing how Silvia was gaining less favour from yet another man, Ezikiel snorted in glee as he took a few steps away from her, “Your harem is falling apart faster than your life.”

Bing Shi immediately detected Ru Quan’s black miasma, “At least I had a life,” she pierced her wooden skewer into the empty air.

A few masked men in black suddenly appeared around Silvia, pushing her against a wall to immobilise her. The emblem on their uniform indicated their origin, causing the passerby students to stop at their steps in awe.

One of the men attached a thick metal collar around her neck, “The LeClére family has been issued an arrest warrant. Silvia LeClére, as a student of this school, you’ve been granted an exception. For everyone’s safety, you will be put under house arrest, and your every move will be monitored by the LAD corps.”

Bing Shi couldn’t tell Silvia that she was being monitored by a bunch of hosts so as not to alert them, but she could fabricate a similar situation to make her feel forced to behave twenty-four seven. If one wanted to stop Silvia’s misdeeds, one should make her feel like she was being watched by the whole world.

No matter how much Silvia would protest about her rights, in the eyes of the state, the monitoring collar would be like a two-sided ‘protection’. After all, Silvia was still considered one of the ‘rarest’ omegas.

· · ———- · ???· ———- · ·

Bing Shi was sure that after yesterday’s matters, she would receive a well-deserved princess treatment. The collar around her neck recorded even the slightest of noises. Everyone treated her nicely from afar, fearing that if they said something wrong, the LAD would get them. Even the teacher’s behaviour during the classes was nicer than usual.

Attending the math lesson with Ezikiel, Bing Shi chose the front rows near the board.

“Are you fucking kidding me?” When Ziek saw the seat she chose, he wanted to grab her hand and drag her towards the most inconspicuous corner of the lecture hall.

“It’s easier to focus here,” Bing Shi sat in front of the teacher’s table with a good view of the entrance room, taking out her notebook and pen, “It makes me look smart.”

“It makes you look like a fucking teacher pleaser.” Ziek looked around the lecture hall, searching for better seats.

|What got into you today?|

|”I want to build my own gadgets, and signed up for the courses I thought would help me.”|

“...” Ziek sat down next to her and began to flip through her math notes to make a background check on the teacher’s knowledge.

+—- Author’s note —–+

“Good Men are good to everyone. Nice Guys are nice to their targets.” – author unknown.

Usually, in QT or transmigration s, the original male lead would often lose interest in the original female lead and become obsessed with the protagonist (host, transmigrator), right?

I’m not shunning the cliche, I love when everyone falls in love with the protagonist due to their actions and changes, so the rules must be kept, haha!

Nathaniel Hauxley is giving out similar vibes. He gets invested in other people whenever they pique his interest, but secretly, everyone knows how loyal he is to one person only.
