Chapter 72 - 72 72 Get married

72: Chapter 72: Get married?

Too impulsive!

72: Chapter 72: Get married?

Too impulsive!

With a splash!

Caught off guard, Wu Jie was shoved into the river, tumbling head over heels.

On the shore, Tang Le and Tang Kang both jumped in fright.

“Holy shit!

Xin’er, are you out of your mind?”

Wu Jie hurriedly struggled to get up, but in the dredged, man-made river, the water was very deep, reaching up to his neck.

Now, there was no doubt that his phone was waterlogged.

“Didn’t you bully us like this when we were kids?” Tang Xin said, laughing playfully.

Ptui!

Wu Jie spat out a mouthful of river water and climbed onto the shore, cursing under his breath.

Soaked to the bone, water streamed down him, pooling on the ground.

He pulled out his wallet, car keys, phone…

all dripping with water.

Tang Xin burst into laughter, thinking Wu Jie’s phone was surely ruined.

However…

After Wu Jie shook his phone, he unlocked it, and the screen was still on; Tang Xin suddenly couldn’t laugh anymore.

“Damn it!

How…

how did I forget the phone is waterproof?

I should’ve let it soak longer!”

“What do we do now?

Push him in again?”

No sooner had Tang Xin stepped forward than Wu Jie quickly sidestepped several paces away like lightning.

“Don’t even think about tricking me a second time!”

Wu Jie huffed heavily and opened his messages, only to burst into a tirade of curses.

“Bloody hell!!!”

“That harsh?

Who’s got you riled up?” Tang Xin asked with her arms crossed, smiling teasingly.

Wu Jie shook his head and cursed, “Who else could it be?

It’s Mr.

Mu who’s been doggedly pursuing our cousin for years, of course!”

Saying so, Wu Jie opened a voice message and played it out loud for everyone to hear.

“Kun, today is the master’s birthday, and Xiao will surely attend.

I’d like to invite her for coffee tonight, and I’d appreciate it if you could let me know before the banquet ends.

Thank you very much.”

The tone was gentle, the voice delicate.

Truly the level of a broadcast host’s magnetic voice.

Sigh!

Tang Xin expressed her sentiment,

“Mu En really does have a nice voice!

Born into a prominent family, handsome, and with a gentle, magnetic voice, he must have charmed countless young ladies!”

Then turning to Tang Le, Tang Xin called out, “Xiao Le, never get blinded by a handsome face when choosing a partner.

Go for someone reliable.

Those who are too handsome, too cool, too rich…you simply can’t handle them!”

Wu Jie sneered, “You’ve never even been in a relationship, so how dare you lecture Xiao Le?”

Head held high, Tang Le laughed, “I don’t want to be in a relationship too early!

In the future, I want to be a career woman like my big cousin, a CEO who reaches the pinnacle of life!”

“Hear that?”

Tang Xin turned back, looking at Wu Jie with a cold gaze,

“You haven’t taken any advantages from Mu En, have you?

Actually helping him pass on messages.

If our cousin finds out, you should be well aware of the consequences!

If she doesn’t beat the crap out of you, then my name isn’t Tang!”

Wu Jie retorted with a curled lip, “When did I pass on any messages?

What you heard was a message he sent to me.

Damn!

I thought someone had found photos of your scandalous boyfriend!”

“Find what?

I just randomly picked someone to fake it, to fool those classmates of mine.

You getting all worked up about it, huh?”

Tang Xin cursed under her breath, deliberately putting on a fearless front.

Wu Jie shook his phone again, still dripping.

“Watch my fishing rod for me; I’m gonna change clothes!”

“Bon voyage!”

“Screw off!”

…

Tang Xin pulled over a stool and sat down, waiting until Tang Le and Tang Kang were absorbed in fishing before she took out her phone and tipped off Wu Jie.

“Heads up!

Tang Kun might find out any moment that I once asked you to pretend to be my boyfriend.

Once it’s exposed, just say we met playing games, and keep mum about everything else!”

After sending the message, Tang Xin suddenly felt something was off and immediately retracted it.

She edited the message by adding one more line—”[Read and delete immediately, leave no evidence].”

After sending it again, Tang Xin looked around nervously, feeling like a thief, afraid of being seen.

Waiting was an agonizing ordeal.

Unsure of where Tang Xiao had taken Wu Jie or whether he would see the message by himself, Tang Xin’s heart was aflutter, a bundle of nerves.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Tang Xiao was leading Wu Jie through the fruit orchard, picking fresh fruits.

Eating as they went, Wu Jie glanced at his phone and nearly swallowed a peach pit.

“Holy crap!

Tang Kun…

is going to find out…

damn, there really are no secrets in this world!”

With a sigh, Wu Jie replied okay and then immediately deleted the conversation.

“Want to take photos for your Moments?” Tang Xiao turned around, placing a handful of fresh, juicy peaches into a bamboo basket.

Wu Jie instantly replied with a smile, “Only of the peaches, I wouldn’t dare take your picture.

I have colleagues among my friends, and without your permission, how could I possibly post a picture of you online?”

Tang Xiao turned back to continue picking peaches, casually laughing:

“Just post it!

Sooner or later everyone in the group will know!”

“Plus, it’s better if people know.

Once I’m off the market, I won’t be harassed anymore.”

As she spoke, Tang Xiao, holding onto a peach branch and gazing at the peaches, said, “I think it’s rather nice being with you!

Instead of playing pretend lovers, why not just play husband and wife, what do you think?”

Sputter!

Wu Jie burst into laughter.

“President Tang, you may not be wanted, but I certainly am!”

“Hmm?

What do you mean?” Tang Xiao’s brow furrowed, and her eyes flashed with murderous intent.

“Er…

I…

I didn’t mean to insult you, I meant nobody wants you sincerely, they approach you with motives, with their own interests at heart!”

Wu Jie hurriedly smoothed things over.

Tang Xiao said coldly, “Our marriage would be a formality.

You can fool around as much as you like outside, as long as the Tang Family People don’t find out, and I can focus on my career without distraction, free from the pressure of marriage and suitors!”

“And don’t forget, once we’re married, my dad will give all his fortune as a dowry.

Then, I’ll share half with you, so you’ll have plenty of money to spend discreetly.”

“In short, I think it’s a win-win deal.

You should give it some thought.

Aren’t you going back to your hometown for the May Day holidays?

If it feels right, bring your household registration book, and just mention it to your parents.”

Wu Jie was astounded: “Tsk, you actually know about needing a household registration book for marriage!”

Tang Xiao rolled her eyes.

“That’s common sense, okay?

Without a household registration book, how can they check if the couple is related by blood?

And how else can they change marital status?”

Wu Jie nodded slightly.

“Let me think about it, this can’t be rushed!”

“After all, we have no feelings, and just fake-marrying right away, our parents will surely pressure us to have kids later on.”

Tang Xiao snorted coldly, “That’s easy!

When the time comes, I’ll have some experts provide reports, saying my old injury hasn’t healed and I shouldn’t get pregnant.

If they want us to have children, they’ll have to find a Divine Doctor to cure me!”

“In any case, whatever the experts say goes.

Are they going to dare not believe it?

Besides, there’s no cure for my old injury anywhere in the world, so them wanting us to have kids is downright impossible!”

Tang Xiao spoke with a firm and decisive tone.

But what she didn’t know was…

“Others might not be able to cure it, but I can!

Once I’ve saved up five million energy points and exchanged for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, I can bring you back to full health!”

Wu Jie was secretly pondering this when Tang Xiao suddenly snapped her fingers.

“Why the daze?

Don’t tell me, the thought of marrying me scares you?”
