Zheng Xiaoguang sprang back with a start while looking at Bluegreen-Clad in shock. "What did you say?" asked she.

"To be more exact, I deliberately asked your big brother to ally himself with me as a way to delude you into marrying me," replied Bluegreen-Clad.

"What?" Zheng Xiaoguang was stunned.

"Do you still believe that I was forced to marry you for the sake of the so-called alliance?" Bluegreen-Clad asked, and his lips curved into a smile. "Do you really think that someone is able to force me to do such a thing?"

Upon hearing that, she thought, "Yes, I used to doubt it very much. I've never figured out how my big brother managed to make the G.o.d-like Bluegreen-Clad marry me.'

Bluegreen-Clad continued, "At first, your big brother refused to marry you off to me. I played a trick on him to make him promise me. Later, he put on an act together with me in case that you would refuse to marry me."

"What? Is he saying that they deluded me into marrying him by building an alliance?" Zheng Xiaoguang thought in surprise.

"Bluegreen-Clad!" Zheng Xiaoguang gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you saying that you began to scheme against me a long time ago?"

Although she had teasingly asked him whether he had plotted against her when he exposed Venus' secrets, she had never expected him to have really done such a thing to her.

Bluegreen-Clad beamed brightly and said, "Don't get upset. I have something else to tell you. In fact, it was I that sent you the VIP ticket for the s.h.i.+ny Sky reality show. I just wanted to coax you into coming to A City to meet me. Otherwise, a 'prudent' girl like you would never agree to meet me offline."

Zheng Xiaoguang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Was it you again that asked Venus to team up with us on that night?"

"No. How could I do that? I spent the whole day with you," Bluegreen-Clad explained calmly. "However, I did use her to make you jealous."

Zheng Xiaoguang's eyes widened in surprise, as she thought.

"Well, now I see how desperate Venus used to feel. Faced with such a strong opponent like Bluegreen-Clad, I really have no chance to control the situation."

Before Zheng Xiaoguang burst with anger and shame, Bluegreen-Clad took her hand and pulled her closer to himself. He said, "Listen, Xiaoguang. I dare to admit this because I really like you. "Although I used to set you up, but I never wanted to hurt you. When Li Lei asked for a leave to meet Meimei's parents, I used to ask him to help me chasing after you. You asked me whether I was joking. Now, I want to tell you that I always take you seriously."

"He said that he always takes me seriously!" Zheng Xiaoguang repeated this sentence in her mind, and then she began to wonder, "Does this mean that he really meant it when he asked me to be his girlfriend before."

"If so... Why didn't you tell me this before?" She stuttered, and her cheeks flushed red.

"If I had told you before, you would've been scared away a long time ago," Bluegreen-Clad looked at her seriously and continued, "Let me guess. My timid wife in the game must've been thinking about divorcing me since marrying me. Am I right?"

Upon hearing that, she sighed inwardly, "Sigh, it looks like he saw me through a long time ago! When I first married him, I did believe that we would end up getting a divorce sooner or laters. Given this, I told him, 'You can divorce me whenever you meet a girl you like.'

"However, I changed after meeting him in A City. Since coming back from the city, I've been very active in the League of Strong Families.

"That being said, I was not ready to accept his love when Li Lei and Han Meimei decided to make their virtual relations.h.i.+p real. If he had told me everything back then, I probably would've really been scared away."

"You're really too smart, Bluegreen-Clad." Zheng Xiaoguang sighed. "Everything is under your control."

Bluegreen-Clad suddenly became serious and said, "No, no one can control everything. When Shallow Sleep, the elder of the Sacred Temple proposed to you, I was really worried that you would promise him."

Bluegreen-Clad knew that it was not her own decision to marry him and she did suffer a lot of injustice in the League of Strong Families.

"So you saw that message from Shallow Sleep. Why didn't you ask me anything about it?" asked Zheng Xiaoguang. She used to think that he had never seen that message.

Bluegreen-Clad shook his head and said, "I didn't ask you anything about it since I was not sure whether you wanted to stay married to me at that time. Just like today, when I'm not sure whether you'll come here and promise to be my girlfriend, I can only ask your big brother for help. I think if I don't confess to you now, you'll never come back to me again."

Upon hearing that, Zheng Xiangguang thought, "Sure enough, the sudden appearance of Su Han caught both of us unprepared."

"Just now, you thought that I confessed to you because I took pity on you. But now, I think you've already found out the truth after hearing all that I've said," Bluegreen-Clad said earnestly.

She nodded slightly. Now she was sure that Bluegreen-Clad did not say those words to comfort her because of her failed relations.h.i.+p with Su Han.

"So, what do you say?" Bluegreen-Clad tightly held Zheng Xiaoguang's hand without noticing what he was doing. "I did so much just to get an answer from you. Are you willing to be my girlfriend? Can you tell me your decision now?"

Zheng Xiaoguang could tell that he was nervous. She was surprised as she had never expected the G.o.d-like Bluegreen-Clad to be afraid of anything.

After some thought, she said, "You know what, Bluegreen-Clad. I've never known any guy who openly talks about how he has plotted against others before. You're the first one."

Bluegreen-Clad frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Guang, if you're angry with me because of this, I can..."

He was prepared to apologize to her and let her punish him. He just did not want her to refuse him because of this thing.

"Shh, listen to me first," Zheng Xiaoguang interjected. "I was really upset because I always thought that it was I that secretly admired you. But you told me just now that the G.o.d-like player I like was actually a shameless, scheming man."

She bent down and looked into his eyes as she said, "You scared me and made me feel that you can control everything in my life. I even suspect that you set me up more often than you have told me."

Upon seeing her own reflection within his eyes, she blinked her eyes and continued, "But I've come around. I'm not angry with you. Instead, I'm intrigued. When did you begin to like me? If it was you that deluded me into marrying you for the sake of the alliance, you should've met me before the alliance. I don't remember that I met you before that."

Zheng Xiaoguang seldom got close to such a G.o.d-like player, as she was afraid of provoking his female fans.

"I used to log into a friend's account and team up with you in the game. I found out that you're adorable at that time," Bluegreen-Clad felt much relieved when he discovered that she was not angry with him. "I'm sorry for setting you up, but I don't regret it. That's because I really like you."

He just did not want to let her go.

Zheng Xiaoguang suddenly smiled as she thought gleefully, "So, this G.o.d-like player has a secret crush on me." She got close to his face and kissed him on a corner of his mouth. "This is my answer."

Bluegreen-Clad was surprised by that kiss, but he quickly recovered from the shock. He took Zheng Xiaoguang into his arms and said excitedly, "So from now on, you're my girlfriend."

She rested her head on his shoulder and rubbed his neck with her face as she said, "Uhm, I suddenly felt that what Su Han said when he broke up with me is right. He said that I would meet a better guy. You're that guy. You're my favorite."

She really loved Bluegreen-Clad.

"I'll always stay by your side." Bluegreen-Clad kissed her forehead and made a new promise to her.
