MTL - His Marriage Partner is Scheming-Chapter 4
This is the second time He Qiao has heard Chi Xueyan mention the matter of marriage.
Compared with the obvious joke at the first meeting, this short question now reveals an unquestionable certainty.
Looking at each other, he saw Chi Xueyan's light brown eyes covered with a layer of pale gold by the summer light, looking at him intently, waiting for an answer.
He Qiao was in a trance for a moment.
A sudden silence spread between the two, and the busy sounds of the early morning around them were set off more vividly, with cars honking, pedestrians walking, and endless noise.
Chi Xueyan couldn't help but think, what is He Qiao thinking in front of him?
Compared with the serious consideration and solemn response that caught him off guard yesterday evening, He Qiao at this moment seems to be much more mysterious. Shattered shadows of street trees drip down from the deep browbones, and the depths of his always clear eyes are full of unpredictable emotions. dark color.
At the same time, the owner of the breakfast shop next to him raised his hand to wipe off the sweat from his forehead, poked his head out from the side of the steaming steamer, and greeted them enthusiastically: "Are you two? Sit here, what do you want to eat? There are steamed stuffed buns, wontons, and steamed buns." —”
Amid the din, the silence and darkness disappeared together.
He Qiao glanced at the steamer next to him exuding a tempting aroma, then turned his head and asked him seriously, "Which one do you like to eat?"
There was an unskilled gentleness in his tone, acquiescing to the identity and relationship that was about to change.
It seemed that the depth just now was just an illusion brought about by light and shadow.
Chi Xueyan couldn't help laughing.
He liked the way he accepted the proposal.
"Everything is good," he said, "I like the little ravioli best."
The boss quickly brought two hot soup bowls. There were strands of seaweed and egg shreds floating in the clear soup. The white wonton wrappers were wrapped with a small piece of meat filling. They swirled together with the shrimp skins in the bowls, making them light and delicious.
Chi Xueyan thought, today's wontons seem to have a special taste, which is particularly ironic.
Surrounded by a lively atmosphere of life, it quietly injects a sense of reality into the word marriage that has never been considered before.
Even if it's just a marriage agreement.
Chi Xueyan didn't know why he was so obsessed with Lu Siyi in the story. After all, until last night, his impression of that stranger was only interested, but he didn't know how the established destiny in the story would be fulfilled. What about coercive force?
A respectable marriage is at least a firewall.
And the other half inside the wall is a seemingly reliable teammate.
However, although they have now agreed on the agreed marriage, there are still many details to be worked out.
For example, formalizing the agreement on paper, or getting each other's families to accept that they are going to get married.
After eating breakfast, Chi Xueyan was about to discuss the future arrangements with He Qiao, when he raised his head, he saw him looking across the road.
A low-key black luxury car stopped by the gate outside the medical examination center, and soon, He Qiao's cell phone rang.
He Qiao picked up the phone and said proactively, "Brother, I'm having breakfast diagonally across."
Chi Xueyan raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Not only because of the brother who suddenly appeared, but also because of the subtle change in He Qiao's tone.
He behaved very obediently in front of his brother.
Although in front of him, He Qiao is also obedient and easy to talk to.
But vaguely a little different.
Under Chi Xueyan's interested gaze, the black luxury car turned around and stopped next to the breakfast shop, the rear windows slowly lowered.
He Xiao's facial features are somewhat similar to He Qiao's. Both brothers have inherited their father's sharp and handsome facial features, but their temperaments are very different. It is obvious that one is a gentle and prudent elder brother, and the other is a well-protected younger brother.
The last time Chi Xueyan saw him was probably in a financial magazine, the young owner of Wanjia Group, a giant in the catering industry. At that time, a colleague in the clinic was reading the magazine. He glanced at it casually, absolutely never expecting such an intersection in the future.
He Xiao didn't get out of the car, he said to He Qiao who came over on his own initiative: "I was going to take you to see the car."
When talking on the phone in the cafe yesterday, he promised to accompany He Qiao to choose a car on the weekend.
His tone was very gentle, and he glanced at Chi Xueyan who was sitting there, with a clear smile on his face: "But, am I bothering you?"
He Qiao's answer showed a bit of embarrassment: "...No, we've already finished eating."
Facing the No. 2 villain who was known to be a little "kinder" than himself, Chi Xueyan behaved generously and very familiarly: "I thought you came here specially to trouble me."
The car window was lowered to the bottom, He Xiao asked him with a smile: "Why?"
"He took several tubes of blood for the physical examination, and I felt a little dizzy looking at it." Chi Xueyan's tone was wanton, "Who made him lose the bet."
"I'm willing to bet, I should." He Xiao looked at his younger brother again, showing a dazed expression, "No wonder you came here for a physical examination early in the morning."
He Qiao didn't seem quite used to the situation in front of him, and said anxiously: "Brother, I won't look at the car today, go get busy and leave me alone."
"Okay, I won't be a light bulb anymore." The smile on He Xiao's face deepened, "Have fun."
He finally nodded to Chi Xueyan, and the car windows closed, leaving only a black shadow that was getting further and further away.
Looking at the luxury car going away, Chi Xueyan finally got up and walked to He Qiao's side.
Thinking of what her mother said when she introduced the He family before the blind date - the family is well-off, the relationship is harmonious, everyone dotes on He Qiao, Chi Xueyan can't help feeling a little emotional.
"He doesn't seem to think highly of you." Chi Xueyan commented, "And he doesn't think highly of me either."
He Qiao looked over, with doubts written in his eyes.
"This is the intuition of being a big villain." Chi Xueyan joked, and then said frankly, "He never got out of the car from the beginning to the end."
As if sitting there had already grasped the overall situation, there was a kind of quiet disdain.
Hearing this, He Qiao smiled, neither agreeing nor denying: "Maybe."
Chi Xueyan didn't intend to interfere with the other party's housework, but instead asked, "Do you want to buy a car?"
"Just casually." He Qiao shook his head, "I told him yesterday that I saw a cool new car."
"Is that my car? It's new this year."
"…Um."
"You have a good vision." Chi Xueyan's tone rose, "I'll go shopping with you, and you can pick up the car on the spot."
He Qiao was a little surprised, and then looked at Shangchi Xueyan eagerly.
"It's a nice detail," he said with a laugh.
An hour later, Chi Xueyan tossed the car keys to an acquainted salesman, and asked him to drive his car home, while he got into the new car that He Qiao had just bought with his credit card.
It is the same model and configuration as his sapphire blue sports car, the only difference is the paint color of the body.
When He Qiao was familiarizing himself with the new car and trying to get started, Chi Xueyan in the passenger seat inspected the interior structure of his own car, and explained casually: "Loving someone often starts with liking the other person's hobbies, such as imitating him to buy Same style."
He didn't want his parents to suspect the real reason for his marriage, presumably He Qiao was the same, so they needed to pretend to be in love.
And love needs details.
He Qiao paused with his hand on the steering wheel.
Yesterday Chi Xueyan said that she had a hot temper and snored countless times while sleeping, but suddenly she didn't seem to be joking at all.
The first point is doubtful, the second point is unknown, and the third point seems to be possible.
I don't know if these predecessors really didn't delete them.
This thought flashed through He Qiao's mind, he didn't pay much attention to it, and quickly calmed down to drive seriously.
The flamboyant flame red sports car passed by the static sapphire blue.
This is the color that He Qiao and Chi Xueyan decided together.
"Where are you going next?" He asked Chi Xueyan.
He got a rhetorical question: "Do you know what is the best thing to do after buying a new car?"
He Qiao tried to think in Chi Xueyan's way: "...Drag racing?"
Chi Xueyan laughed, and joked, "Isn't your idea a little dangerous?"
While speaking, he lowered his eyes and made a call.
"It's time to experience the most—"
While waiting for the beeping of the phone to be connected, he paused slightly, and said in a light tone: "The weight of rules."
Yu'an Law Firm.
From the moment Chi Xueyan entered the door, Su Yu maintained an incredulous expression, especially when he saw the two getting closer.
Chi Xueyan was calm and composed, and first introduced to He Qiao: "My friend, lawyer Su Yusu."
Then he turned to look at his friend with a quite natural attitude: "My boyfriend, He Qiao."
Su Yu used his remaining rationality to shake hands with He Qiao and say hello, and took out the prenuptial agreement he had just drawn up for them to review: "Xiaochi asked for it too urgently, so he changed it with a template. Fortunately, the terms you agreed on are very simple to deal with. There are still places that need to be changed or supplemented, just let me know if you have any questions.”
As he spoke, he raised his voice and turned towards Chi Xueyan: "No, are you really going to get married? Why didn't I hear the wind at all? When I received your call, I thought I was dreaming..."
Su Yu said to He Qiao halfway through, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, I was just too surprised."
He Qiao looked down at the agreement with a gentle attitude: "It's okay, you can talk."
Chi Xueyan shrugged: "This shows that you are the first to know, and you should feel honored."
"The first one? So uncles and aunts don't know about it yet?" Su Yu's shock gradually turned into reverence.
Chi Xueyan showed a perfunctory smile: "Thank you for your blessing."
He Qiao focused on two tasks, while checking the terms of the agreement that he had roughly heard in the car, and at the same time listening to the chat between the two.
There are the most direct property preservation clauses in it, which simplifies this marriage from the meeting of two wealthy families to the union of two individuals that has nothing to do with money. The property before and after marriage is owned by each of them, without any division and evidence collection.
In addition, there is an agreement of mutual non-interference in private life, and a corresponding symbolic fine for breach of contract...
The relationship between Chi Xueyan and Su Yu seems to be very good.
When He Qiao took out a sentence that needed to be revised and adjusted, he thought of it this way.
And when he heard the next conversation between the two, the straight line he drew was accidentally skewed.
Su Yu has accepted the fact that his friend had a flash marriage, but he is still curious about the reason behind it: "Have you played enough?"
He and Chi Xueyan are college classmates, at the same level and in different departments. He knows that the other party has always been not interested in dating, but is keen on eating, drinking, and having fun, thinking about all fun and interesting things, from thrilling extreme sports to life. A Rubik's Cube that cannot be solved in the hands of a child who has had his tooth pulled.
Chi Xueyan said before that he enjoys this kind of playful state very much, and lives happily alone, so he is not in a hurry to fall in love.
I didn't expect to be married so quickly now.
Chi Xueyan understood what he meant, and her tone was indifferent: "Marriage doesn't hinder playing."
He and He Qiao are just a superficial couple and will not interfere with each other's lives.
Su Yu completely misunderstood, and looked at He Qiao with a rather novel look: "That's pretty good."
Looks like you've met a like-minded partner.
He thought that He Qiao would have a relatively quiet personality, but he really can't be judged by his appearance.
Facing Su Yu's unclear gaze, He Qiao silently looked at the crooked line on the paper.
He couldn't make any comments on the overly direct conversation between the two.
He suddenly felt the reckless villainous temperament in Chi Xueyan.
The predecessor countless is probably true.
Of course, this has nothing to do with him.
He Qiao regained his composure and drew a straight underline again.
Then Chi Xueyan sat down beside him, glanced roughly at the agreement, and said to Su Yu: "By the way, I want to add one more."
After the gossip was over, Su Yu returned to work mode, sat back at his desk and listened attentively: "Say it."
"I can't unilaterally propose a divorce. It must be approved by He Qiao. If I insist on going my own way, he must immediately and completely tell my parents the most important secret between us."
The words came out, and the other two men present were surprised.
Su Yu considered his tone: "Isn't this a bit...too bad for you?"
Although he didn't know what the secret in the second half of the sentence referred to, it was clearly a one-way constraint that was only valid for Chi Xueyan.
"You polish the statement and write it down."
Chi Xueyan didn't explain further, but turned to look at He Qiao.
Only He Qiao who was close at hand heard the next sentence.
"I don't want to be someone I don't even know myself."
He clearly saw the stubbornness and trust in each other's eyes.
He Qiao's fingers that were still holding the pen tightened subconsciously.
... Chi Xueyan is really a complicated person.
Gradually, only the crisp sound of lawyers typing on keyboards remained in the office.
After signing the agreement and seeing them off, Su Yu looked at the extremely dazzling brand new red sports car in the parking lot, and couldn't help giving a mocking thumbs up: "Red and blue are both vulgar and classic."
Chi Xueyan responded with an elegant middle finger: "See you at the wedding."
As the only polite adult present, He Qiao reluctantly bid farewell: "Goodbye, Lawyer Su."
He was still driving the return journey.
He Qiao drove the car out of the parking lot slowly, and Chi Xueyan beside him was watching the two people's signatures on the last page of the prenuptial agreement.
He said: "I will try my best to remind you to stay away from Lu Siyi, this is the only thing I will interfere with you."
"Thank you." Chi Xueyan put away the agreement and smiled at him, "Your handwriting is beautiful."
He Qiao nodded slightly, and asked skillfully, "Where are you going?"
Hearing this question again, the corners of Chi Xueyan's mouth raised slightly: "Now it's time to do something dangerous."
"Falling in love on impulse and believing that the other person is the true love of this life are the most common things people do."
He entered the address of his home on the navigation, and the mechanical female voice immediately pointed to the driving direction.
"I remember my mother put the household registration book in the safe." Chi Xueyan said, "go to my house first, and then to yours. If you act fast enough, we will still have time to get the marriage certificate within 24 hours .”
Beside the open car window, the wind was whistling, but Chi Xueyan's voice was exceptionally clear. He added, "It's been twenty-four hours since we first met."
After signing the prenuptial agreement with great efficiency, He Qiao originally thought that he would no longer be surprised, but Chi Xueyan always made him feel indescribably surprised.
He turned his face and saw the eyes of the other party with a pleasant smile.
"I said to get the certificate on the spot, and you agreed, so you should do what you say."
The marriage partner's eyes were clear and transparent, as if quietly looking into his soul.
"Also, it only took one day to go from acquaintance to marriage."
After looking at each other for a short time, Chi Xueyan moved his gaze to the wide road ahead, the sky at the end of the road was shining with bright light, which lightly fell on the tip of his brilliant fiery hair, as if heralding the coming of the most beautiful dusk.
"It fits people's impression of us being childish and playful, right?"
