I was kidnapped. But my kidnapper turned out to be my future husband. So the question is, should I call for help first, or should I call him “honey” first? After my dad refused to pay the ransom. I could only weakly ask, “How about… I offer myself instead?” “Boss, this is the Winter’s kid!” a voice said as the blindfold was pulled off my head. As my eyes adjusted to the light, I began to assess my surroundings. It was clear that I had been kidnapped. But when I focused on my captor, I was shocked to realize it was my future husband! Well, a 10-year younger version of him. Liam Reeves frowned slightly as he got a clear look at my face. He turned to the chubby guy beside him and said, “Wasn’t the Winter’s kid supposed to be a boy? How did it turn into a girl?” “That boy was surrounded by bodyguards, it was too risky,” the chubby guy explained with a dejected look. “But I found out this girl is also Old Winter’s daughter!” Liam scrutinized me, bending down slightly to meet my eyes. “Little girl, we don’t want to hurt you. But your dad has gone too far. As long as he pays the ransom, we’ll let you go. Nod if you understand!” I nodded frantically! When the phone call connected… “I have your daughter Zoe. Prepare $500,000, or you know the consequences!” “Daddy, save me…” I cried pitifully and helplessly, following Liam’s instructions. My dad very decisively — hung up the phone. Liam, not giving up, called again. My dad was decisive once more: “No money. Take the girl if you want!” This behavior was so typical of my dad. Liam and I exchanged an awkward glance. I tentatively suggested, “How about… I offer myself instead?” Liam looked at me like he’d seen a ghost. The chubby guy laughed and said, “Sis, you’ve got guts!” What could I do? After all, he was my future husband. I had to pamper him.
Liam coldly ordered, “Lock her up!” So I was untied and locked in a room. From what I could tell, we were in the countryside, probably at Liam’s grandparents’ old house. I could even see some of his childhood photos. Who would have thought that my husband was so… adorable as a child. Although I was kidnapped, the fact that it was him made me not feel scared at all. I had just been reborn, so I might as well take this chance to rest and sort out my thoughts. I carelessly took off my shoes and socks and lay down on the bed. Liam and I had an arranged marriage, but that was ten years in the future. By then, Liam had become a renowned business tycoon, while the Winter family was in decline due to my father’s extravagance. For the sake of benefits, my dad decisively chose to sell his daughter for glory, and I was naturally the one being sold. Liam’s father had been driven to death by my dad, so I always felt that he married me only for revenge. But at that time, I had no choice but to agree to this marriage. After getting married, Liam and I maintained a cold and distant relationship, not interfering with each other’s lives, like strangers living under the same roof. It wasn’t until I was kidnapped by his business rival and he risked everything to save me that I finally saw his true feelings. After that, we broke down the barriers between us and began a sweet and passionate married life… Perhaps I had to experience being kidnapped once to truly become his wife?
“Wake up, wake up!” In my dream, the past and present intertwined. Looking at Liam, I instinctively grabbed his hand and softly whined, “Honey, I’m hungry.” Liam was once again stunned by my bold words. The chubby guy, on the other hand, couldn’t stop praising me, “Sis, you’re really something! You’re really getting into character!” Liam, somewhat irritated, frowned again and said to the chubby guy, “You, get out!” Then he coldly said to me, “Get up!” I got up reluctantly, taking my time to make the bed. I showed no signs of the fear a kidnapped person should have. Liam stood with his arms crossed, frowning as he looked at me, his eyes full of assessment. I looked up at him, full of obedience. “Don’t think you can get away with this kind of trick!” “Mm-hmm.” Please don’t let me get away. “Didn’t you say you were hungry? Come out and eat!” “Okay.” I gave him a sweet smile. Whether in the future or now, my husband is always so adorable.
The so-called meal was actually just two cups of instant noodles. Looking at the mushroom chicken flavor in front of me, I instantly felt full. Then I glanced at his beef flavor noodles… “I want yours.” “What right do you have to make demands as a hostage!” “You’re right, but I still want yours.” “Damn it,” Liam cursed. “I’ve already eaten from mine.” “I don’t mind!” “You…” Liam took a deep breath and reluctantly pushed his beef noodles towards me. I really dislike instant noodles, but I was indeed hungry, so I had to eat in small bites. Liam seemed unable to stand the way I ate and urged, “Hurry up and eat. Finish quickly and leave!” “Ah? That doesn’t seem right!” “What else then? You can’t be exchanged for money, what use is keeping you here — to steal my noodles?” I immediately put on a pitiful look and pushed the noodles in front of me towards him, “I’m not eating anymore.” “Damn it.” “You shouldn’t curse, you know.” “You dare lecture me!” I continued to act like a poor, helpless little thing. “This is ridiculous!” Liam cursed under his breath, but still pushed the noodles back to me, “Hurry up and eat.” I ate less than half a bowl before putting it down. Liam frowned as he looked at me. “I’m full…” “We’re in a poor rural area, this is all we have.” “Mm, I don’t mind.” I smiled at him and said, “But you should eat less instant noodles, it’s not good for your health.” After all, you’ll die of stomach cancer at a young age, leaving me a widow, which isn’t a good life. Thinking of that, I immediately realized I should urge my husband to eat well and have regular check-ups. I can’t let that tragedy happen again! Perhaps my concern was too obvious, as Liam seemed a bit uncomfortable. “Don’t you think you should act more like a hostage?” “Theoretically, I should, but you…” “What about me?” I looked at him with a coy expression: “I like you, you know!” “Clang!” Liam’s chopsticks fell, his expression shattered. Perhaps he had never seen such a bold hostage before, he seemed a bit scared.
Liam was a bit speechless, “What, hostage falling for the kidnapper, not following the usual script?” “I might have Stockholm syndrome.” “You actually know what that is!” “Wow, you’re so smart!” The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. “Um… I know you, we went to the same high school.” I blinked at Liam with starry eyes, trying hard to show my sincerity. Of course, I didn’t know all this information from the beginning, but discovered it when sorting through Liam’s things after we got married. It turned out he had been paying attention to me since I entered high school, silently protecting me. Later, when he insisted on marrying me, it was purely because he liked me. How could I miss out on such a good husband! Sure enough, a suspicious blush flashed across Liam’s face. Based on my understanding of my future husband, I continued to push forward. “I also know that time when I was being stalked by a creep, you helped chase him away, and then you kept secretly walking me home. I know everything you did.” I looked at my husband, who I had lost and found again, and poured out my heart: “Liam, I like you.” Liam looked very calm, but his reddening ears betrayed his emotions. He turned away strategically, coughed, and pretended to be indifferent, “Do you think it’s appropriate to say these things now?” “Why not?” Liam looked at my innocent face and sighed quietly. “I’ll take you back first thing tomorrow morning.” “Ah… but I don’t want to leave you. I haven’t seen you for so long since you went to college. How’s college? By the way, you haven’t dated anyone, right?” “Don’t you think you’re overstepping?” “Can’t I reasonably claim the rights of a secret admirer?” “Why are you so troublesome!” “You’re the one who kidnapped me and brought me here, you have to take responsibility!” “I…” “So that means I still have a chance, right?” “You…” Liam was suddenly rendered speechless by me. Of course I knew he hadn’t dated anyone, I just regretted not meeting him earlier in my previous life. Now that I’ve been reborn, I must cherish this opportunity! Perhaps the burning love in my eyes was too pure, Liam seemed unable to handle it. He put on a cold and heartless facade and pushed me into the bedroom, commanding, “Go in and stay there, don’t talk.” “Okay, honey!” “Don’t call me honey!” “Okay, future boyfriend.” Liam: Are young girls nowadays all this bold?
I had taken a nap after they brought me back in the afternoon, so now I was bursting with energy to the point of wanting to tear the house apart. Plus, with the person I’d been thinking about just outside the door, I was feeling restless. Although it might be a bit early to get intimate with my husband now, it didn’t seem entirely impossible. Thinking about our shameless married life before, how should I deal with this blushing and heart-pounding feeling! Although the mirror showed a high school student, the soul inside was actually that of a woman in her 30s. Especially after Liam passed away, I had been quite lonely and cold. Now I was at that age where I felt like a hungry wolf. No, no, I can’t get carried away! I patted my face to dispel these wild thoughts, and decisively decided to take a shower to cool down. Now that I’ve been reborn, I can’t let the previous tragedy happen again. ———-This is the breakpoint———- First was Liam’s dad. From what I knew, it was because my dad owed his family a large sum of money for a project that Liam’s father had a heart attack. He was now in the hospital waiting for surgery fees, money was a big issue.
