Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1126 - 1104 Marriage (2)

*

There weren’t many couples at the civil affairs office today, so there wasn’t much of a line, and the whole process went quickly.

When they came out, both of them had a small red booklet in their hands.

The only difference was, while other couples were being all lovey-dovey in line showing off their affection.

Nie Yixiao and Qiao Yongyong were sitting on opposite ends of a bench, not saying a word during the whole queuing process.

This led to a staff member mistakenly thinking they were there for a divorce and kindly informed them that divorce papers were processed on the other side.

As they walked out of the civil affairs office, Qiao Yongyong clutched the little red booklet in her hands, exhaled a breath, and could hardly believe she had become Brother Yixiao’s wife just like that.

She blinked her eyes a bit.

Brother, I know you want me to be with someone I like and live well, I won’t disappoint your wish.

Nie Yixiao had accomplished his task, and he walked with a spring in his step, descending the stairs, opening the car door: "I have something to do. You get back by yourself. There’s a subway over there, and there’s a taxi stand at the corner ahead."

The sun had risen high, hanging dazzlingly overhead, and Qiao Yongyong felt even more dizzy and muddle-headed—probably the fever hadn’t gone down. She chased after him: "Husband, we just got the marriage certificate, aren’t you going back with me?"

He twitched a vein on his forehead, turned back: "Which law states that after getting a certificate, we have to be inseparable 24 hours a day?"

Her delicate lips curled: "The law indeed doesn’t, but Uncle Ning does, right? If he sees us acting like strangers after just getting our marriage certificate, what will he think? Heart patients must avoid being upset, didn’t you marry me to not affect his health and make him happier? If I go back alone, do you think Uncle Ning won’t get angry and have another attack?"

"Are you threatening me?"

"I wouldn’t dare, I’m just explaining the pros and cons." She blinked her lashes like a little fox. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Marrying her was initially to temporarily soothe Ning Xiaochuan, and secondly, to make her give up—letting her experience the hardship of marriage that feels like no marriage, she might back off, maybe even initiate a divorce.

Now, he realized what kind of witch he’d provoked, audaciously giving him a hard time right after receiving the marriage certificate!

He should have known she wasn’t an easy character, right?

He restrained his anger, leaned closer to her: "Do you think this is fun? Using tricks to stay at someone else’s house, knowing I hate you and still marrying me, is your surname ’Cling’? Where’s your face?"

He wasn’t averse to using the harshest words to hit her, anyway, this girl was so thick-skinned, she could probably endure even worse words!

But today, it seemed different somehow...

She blinked her misty eyes at him, her body swayed, and then her eyes closed, and her whole body slid down!

If he hadn’t instinctively wrapped an arm around her waist, she would have had a close encounter with the ground!

Nie Yixiao stared in amazement at the girl in his arms!

If a few harsh words could make this girl faint, she wouldn’t be called Qiao Yongyong!

Then it must be an act!

This witch, she’s the best at pretending!

He angrily gave her cheek a light slap: "Qiao Yongyong, get up! Stop acting! This trick doesn’t work on me!"

Yet the girl in his arms was soft as a feather, showing no signs of waking up at all.

"If you don’t get up, I’ll leave you here!" His voice grew harsher.

She still didn’t move.

"I’m warning you for the last time!"

...

Finally, he sensed something was amiss, realizing she really had fainted.

He placed the back of his hand on her sweat-drenched forehead; she had a fever, and it wasn’t mild.

He frowned, lifted her up, and dumped her in the back seat of the car, then drove to the nearby hospital.

.........

At the hospital.

Qiao Yongyong was sent into the emergency room’s ward.

Fortunately, it was nothing serious, a fever combined with the midday heat caused a bit of heatstroke, leading to her fainting, but once she got a shot, she was awake.

Nie Yixiao, after registering and paying the fees, came back to be greeted with a death glare from the head nurse:

"What kind of husband are you? Your wife had a fever all night and you didn’t notice? Don’t think a fever or cold is a small matter; if it drags on, it could turn into meningitis or pneumonia! And your wife hasn’t eaten all day, she’s already sick and not eating lowers her blood sugar—it’s no wonder she fainted!"

When Qiao Yongyong was given a shot upon admission, the nurse saw the small red booklet she had clutched and realized their relationship.

Qiao Yongyong was leaning against the bed getting an IV drip, her face pale: "Nurse sister, don’t blame my husband. As soon as my husband found out I was sick today, he immediately brought me here for treatment."

The head nurse was old enough to be Qiao Yongyong’s mother, and hearing the sweet address of "sister" made her extremely happy, which made her protect Qiao Yongyong even more. She handed her an apple that the patient had just given: "Little girl, you’re so sweet. Here, have some fruit, it’s freshly washed. Supplement some vitamins for a quicker recovery."

She shot a stern glance at the man by the bed: "You keep an eye on your wife for the infusion, call me to remove the needle when it’s done." Then she left.

Qiao Yongyong, seeing the nurse scold him, let out a silent laugh.

He, however, remained silent with a sullen face.

This woman had a fever all night?

She probably caught a cold from running to Tanghu Villa to find him last night, with the wind and everything.

And, a whole day without food? Seems true.

Early in the morning, he dragged her to register without even giving her time to eat.

Didn’t this girl know how to tell him she had a fever and was hungry?

Could it be she was intentionally using illness to gain his sympathy and affection?!

His gaze shifted, only to see Qiao Yongyong already crunching happily on the apple, her face inexplicably turning dark. Eating so delightfully, he really doubted her fever was real or just an act.

"Are you okay? Call someone, the drip’s almost done, press the bell to let the nurse come to remove the needle, I’m leaving."

Qiao Yongyong dropped the apple: "Husband~ you’re leaving me alone in the hospital?"

Hearing her call him "husband" again, his forehead vein twitched once more: "I’ve paid the medical bills, I’ll give you a card and some cash, if you’re hungry, ask the nurse to buy you something to eat, after the drip, take a cab home."

Qiao Yongyong pouted: "If you won’t stay, I’ll call back to the Ning family, ask Dad to send Aunt Xia and the others to keep me company in the hospital."

If Ning Xiaochuan knew he’d left his newlywed wife unattended in the hospital after just getting the certificate, his heart condition would likely flare up again.

Nie Yixiao suppressed his temper: "What do you want me to stay for?"

Qiao Yongyong saw his handsome face frowning, stretched out her foot, and lightly kicked him: "I want to eat you..."
