Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1125 - 1103 Marriage (1)

After a long while, Nie Yixiao’s thin lips moved: "I promise you."

Ning Xiaochuan was overjoyed.

"Rest if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to my room." Nie Yixiao turned and walked towards the bedroom door, suddenly stopping at the doorway: "Why, why do you want me to be with Qiao Yongyong so much?"

Ning Xiaochuan was taken aback for a moment, sighed: "No matter what, Yongyong is definitely worthy of you, worthy of our Ning Family."

"You mean a girl from a family doing illegal business for years, with a brother wanted worldwide?"

Ning Xiaochuan knew his son believed deep down that Qiao Yongyong’s background was unfavorable, and changing his mind would be difficult, so he said nothing.

Nie Yixiao couldn’t be bothered to ask more, he took long strides and pushed the door open to leave.

...

Shortly after Nie Yixiao left, Wu Huiyun walked in: "Xiaochuan, it’s getting late, take your medicine and go to sleep."

Ning Xiaochuan seemed deep in thought, as if considering something.

"Xiaochuan? What’s wrong?" Wu Huiyun asked curiously.

Ning Xiaochuan came back to his senses and smiled: "Tomorrow, have the maid tidy up Yixiao’s room properly. Make the bed bigger, add some furniture, and help me get a pair of Dragon Phoenix Bracelets and some jewelry from the silver shop, I want to give them to Yongyong."

Even though they were just getting a certificate, not holding a banquet and not announcing it publicly, as the Ning Family’s daughter-in-law, it’s only proper for him to show some gesture as the father-in-law.

"Dragon Phoenix Bracelets? Yixiao agreed to marry Miss Qiao?" Wu Huiyun was stunned.

Ning Xiaochuan nodded.

"Didn’t Yixiao refuse to agree no matter what? Why did he suddenly consent?"

Ning Xiaochuan didn’t hide it from his wife: "I said my heart failure is getting more severe. I’m afraid I won’t hold out for much longer."

Wu Huiyun gasped: "So you tricked Yixiao, and that’s why he agreed?"

Although Ning Xiaochuan’s heart had never been good, it wasn’t to the point of no return.

Ning Xiaochuan frowned: "What do you mean tricked? That sounds so harsh, without this, would Yixiao have agreed? Don’t spread this, don’t even tell Duoduo, if Yixiao finds out, I won’t let you off."

Wu Huiyun could only say: "Alright, I get it."

————

Qiao Yongyong returned half an hour later than Nie Yixiao.

Afraid that her appearance would surprise the Ning Family, she specially borrowed a coat from the driver to wear before getting off.

Going upstairs, she bumped into Ning Duoduo who was coming down for hot milk.

Although Ning Duoduo usually treated her with indifference, with occasional mocking words and a full sense of disdain, she was at least courteous on the surface. Today, seeing her coming head-on, her attitude carried an indescribable resentment, and her gaze was like a knife.

Not until Wu Huiyun came over and pulled her daughter downstairs did Qiao Yongyong believe that Ning Duoduo could stare at her with such resentful eyes all night.

What is going on?

However, she didn’t think much of it.

After going upstairs, she learned from Aunt Xia that Nie Yixiao had visited Ning Xiaochuan but didn’t go out and had returned to his room.

This surprised her, as she thought he would leave again after visiting the patient.

She opened the door, but the bedroom was empty.

However, there was a faint light coming from the study.

His bedroom was connected to the study.

She took off her coat, walked over, and pushed open the study door.

The study was lit by a floor lamp. He had already showered and was lying on the sofa.

He seemed to be planning to sleep in the study.

She walked in: "Since you’re back, come sleep in the bedroom."

He must be tired from hosting guests at Tanghu Villa these past few days.

From the dark sofa corner came a voice: "Don’t assume me moving back means you can be insatiable."

She bit her lip, her kindness seen as a donkey’s liver and lungs, turned to go to bed herself, but then his voice continued: "Tomorrow, I will do as you wish."

Then, silence.

Qiao Yongyong was stunned for a while before realizing what Nie Yixiao meant.

He meant, agreeing to marry her?

No wonder Ning Duoduo just now looked at her with such displeasure, as if wanting to eat her.

Seeing a woman one dislikes become a sister-in-law, no one would be happy.

But why did he change so quickly?

Just an hour ago, he had watched her being flirted with by another man, without saying a word...

Could it be because Ning Xiaochuan’s heart problem flared up, and he feared rejecting would upset him further and worsen his health, so he reluctantly agreed?

After thinking it over, this seemed like the only reason.

Qiao Yongyong’s eyelashes fluttered; her brother’s purpose for sending her to China’s Ning Family was finally fulfilled.

She had wished a hundred times to become his bride.

But now that her wish was fulfilled, the feeling wasn’t so pleasant.

After all, no woman wants her groom to marry her under compulsion and resignation.

Maybe it was because of the hustle and bustle of the night, and the little scare at the villa, after her shower, Qiao Yongyong climbed into bed, a wave of exhaustion and powerlessness from the car ride washed over her, and as soon as her head hit the pillow, she fell asleep.

*

The next morning.

Qiao Yongyong was jolted awake by a loud ringing by her ear; she sat up like a carp!

Nie Yixiao stood coldly by the bed, holding an alarm clock to her ear, his gaze filled with extreme dissatisfaction.

Seeing the time, she realized it was almost ten in the morning; she had slept too soundly last night.

Nie Yixiao was already dressed, looking impeccably handsome as always. Seeing she finally woke up, he turned off the alarm and tossed it aside, his expression sour: "Are you a pig? The alarm went off for half an hour and you still didn’t wake up. Ten minutes, hurry up," he said, going downstairs.

As she sat up, she felt a bit dizzy. She checked her forehead temperature with the back of her hand—it was a bit high, as if she had a fever.

No wonder she slept so soundly, just about to call out to his back, her lifted arm paused and slowly lowered.

Forget it, the fever didn’t seem too bad, she’ll deal with it later.

After quickly freshening up and getting ready, she went downstairs.

The Ning Family had already finished their meal.

Aunt Xia saw her coming down and said: "Miss Qiao, you’re up, we saved you breakfast. Eat before you go out."

Possibly due to the fever, her stomach growled, genuinely hungry, as she was about to sit down to eat, a male servant walked in: "Miss Qiao, young master is asking if you’re done; he’s been waiting in the car for you for a long time."

She had just picked up a whole-wheat roll, the aroma not yet savored, she reluctantly put it down and went out first.

Once in the car.

Qiao Yongyong glanced at the man in the driver’s seat, his hand on the steering wheel, his profile perfectly shaped, with a tall, straight nose and thin lips, exuding the usual asceticism and steadiness.

Seeing her coming out, he raised an eyebrow and started prompting again: "Ready?"

Qiao Yongyong was about to explain, but still sat down instead, her movements a bit slow due to the fever.

He leaned over without waiting, irritably buckling her seatbelt for her.

The car started and shot towards the civil affairs bureau like an arrow.
