"What’s the matter, Daddy?" Liang Anya stopped in her tracks.

"Is your relationship with Pinhao unable to progress further because of REX?"

Liang Anya was startled: "Daddy, what are you saying?"

Liang Tao spoke mysteriously: "Is REX really just an ordinary client relationship with you?"

Cold sweat broke out on Liang Anya’s forehead. Could it be that Daddy discovered something?

No, it can’t be.

If Daddy really sensed he was Si Yuheng, his reaction wouldn’t be this calm. He would have been furious long ago.

She calmed her mind, "Of course, it’s just a client relationship."

"Really? If he was just a regular client, would he be treating me and your brother so well? Do you think your old dad is suffering from senile dementia and can’t see that he’s trying to get close?" Liang Tao shook his head and lowered his voice: "I’m worried you’ll move too far away, so I’ve never really liked foreigners, and I feel that overly handsome men are not safe. But after interacting with him this period, I think he’s quite good. Most importantly, he’s good to Xiaoxiao too. If you really like him, your dad might consider him as one of the potential future son-in-law candidates..."

Liang Anya felt a sense of madness.

Good?

Daddy actually thinks Si Yuheng is good! He even—considered him as one of the future son-in-law candidates?

Once Daddy finds out the truth, would he regret it so much that he’d dig out his own eyes?!

No, this situation can’t continue!

Si Yuheng can’t continue approaching the Liang Family, and the relationship between Daddy and him can’t get closer!

Liang Anya didn’t even know how she got back to her room, how she put down her bag, only that her mind was completely dizzy.

She sat on the bed in a daze for a while before dialing Jiang Pinhao’s number on her phone.

After the call connected, a clear male voice came from the other side: "Anya."

Liang Anya clutched the phone, bit her lip: "Mr. Jiang, I know you’ve already helped me a lot, and I’m really sorry to trouble you again... but I really have no other choice..."

"What’s wrong, Anya? Is Si Yuheng causing trouble for you again?"

Liang Anya was so close to tears; she felt so wronged and finally found someone she could pour her heart out to: "Yes, he has become a frequent guest at my house lately, making my dad and brother spin in circles, and I can’t say anything... My dad’s attitude towards him is getting better and better."

Jiang Pinhao paused: "What do you want me to do for you?"

"I want... to ask if you can marry me." Liang Anya bit her lip so hard it almost bled, gathering the courage to make this shameful and brazen request.

Jiang Pinhao seemed to have already guessed her plan, well, besides this, there seemed to be no other way.

Just being a boyfriend couldn’t stop Si Yuheng from doing whatever he wanted.

Liang Anya noticed a long silence on the other end of the phone, blushing: "Mr. Jiang, I know my suggestion is too much... I haven’t even considered if you already have a girlfriend. Forget it, let’s pretend I didn’t mention it."

"It’s okay, I don’t have a girlfriend. If you think this is a solution, then let’s get married."

Liang Anya couldn’t believe her ears, overwhelmed with joy: "Mr. Jiang, thank you so much!... Rest assured, we’ll just get a certificate, it’s just a formal marriage, no banquet, no public announcement, it won’t affect you. If you meet someone you like, I’ll... I’ll divorce you immediately!"

...

The two agreed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate the next afternoon.

In the morning, Liang Anya finished her tasks and went to the boss’s office at noon to ask Old Ma for leave.

Boss Ma raised his head from behind the computer desk, frowned: "Leave?"

It’s hard to get leave in a small private company, especially lately, with Old Ma keeping his promise to raise her salary by 50%, he became stricter with her work; the salary paid out has to be squeezed back somehow.

"Yes, just half a day." Liang Anya had a pleading expression.

"Xiao Liang, your work attitude has been somewhat unenthusiastic lately, holding onto a big client in hand, and after I raised your salary you’re getting carried away? You’re a single woman, why are you taking leave? You look healthy and energetic, don’t tell me you’re sick! If it’s not something big, don’t take leave."

Liang Anya helplessly: "Does getting married count as something big, boss."

Boss Ma’s mouth formed a round shape: "Get—married? Why so sudden?"

"Yes, just to get a certificate, half a day is enough. If it’s not okay, you can dock my salary."

Boss Ma reluctantly agreed: "Alright, go ahead."

Liang Anya breathed a sigh of relief, thanked the boss, walked out of the office, picked up her bag, and was about to shut down the computer when she saw the work QQ in the bottom right corner of the screen flashing.

A familiar avatar; she could recognize it even if it turned to ash.

Si Yuheng sent another message.

Lately, this man not only frequently visits the Liang Family but harasses her on QQ too.

No doubt, he’s picking apart her design plan again.

She furrowed her brows, steeled her heart, and forcefully shut off the main unit, then left the company in a hurry.

Ten minutes later, the phone in the office of Maji Decoration Company rang loudly!

An employee answered the phone: "Hello—"

Before finishing his words, a sinister male voice came from the other side: "Where is Liang Anya? Tell her to get online!"

Not replying to his QQ, how dare she! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The employee was startled, scared into a daze by the man’s imposing demeanor on the phone: "She’s not at the company, she took a half-day leave and just left..."

Leave? Si Yuheng raised his brow, what was that woman taking leave for: "Why did she take leave?"

"I don’t know... she asked the boss for leave."

"Tell your boss to get over here and answer the phone." He unhesitatingly treated Maji Decoration Company’s employees as his subordinates.

Half a minute later, Boss Ma came out to answer the phone. Upon hearing the voice on the other end, he knew it was the recent big client and smiled eagerly: "Mr. Si, do you have any instructions?"

"Why did Liang Anya take leave?" Si Yuheng’s voice was icy.

Boss Ma dared not deceive this important client, and came clean: "She said she took a half-day leave to get married."

Took a half-day leave to get married?

Si Yuheng’s face instantly turned pale!

A few seconds later, a loud "bang" as he slammed the phone down nearly deafened Boss Ma’s eardrum!

...

On the other end of the phone, the subordinate noticed Hall Master’s expression as if he was about to eat someone, and was trembling: "What’s the matter, Hall Master? Did something happen to Miss Liang?"

Yes, if she dares get a marriage certificate, something will happen soon!

This woman, actually going behind his back to get married to another man! Such audacity.

With a livid face, he dialed her mobile phone, as expected, after a few rings, it was hung up, and calling again, that oblivious woman had turned off her phone!
