Chapter 4: CH 4

Shao Cixin and Wen Zhihan decided to make their marriage agreement the next time they met.

Although they are short on time, there may be some new conditions they thought of after returning home. It’s not too late to make the marriage agreement after careful consideration, and mutual agreement, on both sides.

After solving the problem in her heart, Shao Cixin was much more relieved, and Wen Zhihan felt that the other party was more gentle and amiable.

Although she still couldn’t guess Wen Zhihan’s thoughts, she didn’t care. As long as she would help the Shao family, and wouldn’t harm them, Wen Zhihan could think anything she wanted to. 

The most important thing is that this marriage is just a trade without love. 

For Shao Cixin, leaving aside any feelings of love makes her feel a lot more relaxed. 

She no longer needs to worry about how much her wife loves her. She doesn’t need to put effort into maintaining the marriage. She doesn’t need to be a fool and give someone true love again. Such a free and profitable marriage, what’s wrong with it? 

Even if Wen Zhihan really does have something to ask of her… 

Shao Cixin secretly looked at Wen Zhihan. Under that gentle, harmless, and pure expression of the other party, her last doubts disappeared completely.

Wen Zhihan definitely won’t make any excessive demands. 

In her heart, Wen Zhihan is now a Bodhisattva of great compassion, who rescues and helps others! 

Noticing Shao Cixin’s gaze, Wen Zhihan turned her head and looked over in a large and straightforward motion: “What are you looking at?”

Shao Cixin was in a good mood and said playfully, “Looking at my future wife~” 

Wen Zhihan only smiled after hearing this; she seemed not to mind being called by her in this way at all, but instead she asked warmly, “Is she pretty?” 

Shao Cixin said, “Pretty.” 

She didn’t lie. 

If she were to rank people by their looks, Wen Zhihan would definitely be ranked ahead of Wen Yu. 

Even in her previous life.

After all, these two sisters were not born to the same parents, and their looks were not on the same level.

Wen Yu is actually Wen Zhihan’s cousin. 

When she was young, Wen Yu’s parents died in an accident. Wen Zhihan’s father couldn’t bear to see his younger sister’s daughter become an orphan, so he adopted her and made her the second daughter of the Wen family.

It’s a pity that the relationship between these two cousins is not good.

Maybe it’s because they’re not a good match from birth, or maybe there are other reasons.

Shao Cixin wasn’t sure either. After all, Wen Yu wasn’t the type of wife who talked freely about her life. As she thought about this, Shao Cixin felt that perhaps it was God’s will for her to completely break away from Wen Yu.

Let her be reborn after her heart is cold, and let her marry Wen Zhihan, who doesn’t get along with Wen Yu. All these things show that her and Wen Yu are better apart.

From now on, Wen Yu is Wen Yu, and she is herself.

Pulling her thoughts back, Shao Cixin looked at the beautiful woman opposite her. They had talked about everything that needed to be talked about, and if they continued to sit like this in silence.

Shao Cixin took the initiative to speak: “President Wen.”

Wen Zhihan: “Hmm?” 

Shao Cixin: “Do you have anything else you need to deal with later?”

Wen Zhihan lightly smiled: “No, I’m free today.” 

Shao Cixin touched her earlobe, a little embarrassed. That’s right, she just said that she was free today… 

“I have something to go back to first,” Shao Cixin said awkwardly, “My dad is still waiting for my answer…” 

Wen Zhihan naturally knew what she was referring to. 

She nodded and said, “Okay, then I won’t disturb your time. Let’s do the things that need to be done next time we’re free.” 

Since they’re going to get married, they must follow the process: sign a marriage agreement, buy a ring, and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Shao Cixin nodded and agreed, taking out her phone to send a message.

Then Wen Zhihan watched Shao Cixin just sit there motionlessly in her seat. 

She didn’t look like someone who was going home at all. 

“?” 

Wen Zhihan was suddenly confused: “Aren’t you going home?” 

Shao Cixin’s face was calm: “Waiting for the car.”

Wen Zhihan: “?”

“Where is your agent? Aren’t they responsible for your travel?” 

Shao Cixin calmly explained: “After the interview, I let them go back first, because I’m going home to stay for the next few days. I thought I would let my family driver come and pick me up, and save my agent another trip. But I didn’t expect you to be waiting for me, so I was going to talk to you and then let the driver come and pick me up.” 

After saying that, she smiled at Wen Zhihan: “President Wen can go back first, don’t worry about me.”

Wen Zhihan listened, slowly got up, and said softly: “Tell your driver not to come.” 

Shao Cixin: “?” 

Wen Zhihan: “I’ll take you home.”

Shao Cixin: “Ah??” 

“After all, I’m your future wife. Come on, miss fiancée.” 

Wen Zhihan’s tone was gentle and soft, making Shao Cixin feel for a moment that she had truly become her responsibility. 

Shao Cixin: “……?” She had never seen this in the world before. Could there be such thoughtful after-sales service in a contract marriage??

…..

Wen Zhihan’s assistant, Guan Yan, was driving. Shao Cixin and Wen Zhihan sat in the back seat silently, far away from each other. 

The weather gradually turned cool, and the autumn wind quietly dyed the branches. The sun was setting, the cars came and went under the sky, and the red and green lights never stopped. 

There was no one talking in the car – the only sound, the air conditioning flowing. The atmosphere in the vehicle was quiet and strange. 

Shao Cixin turned her head and looked at the scenery outside the window, in thought. 

She felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.

The two of them are getting married, but they don’t know each other at all. They don’t even have each other’s contact information.

Oh right, she doesn’t have Wen Zhihan’s contact information yet.

Thinking this, she retracted her thoughts, pulled out her phone, and turned to look at Wen Zhihan. As a result, she saw that Wen Zhihan was also looking at her phone. Each of their gazes fell first on the other’s face for a few seconds, and then dropped silently to the other’s phone.

Everything was unspoken.

Shao Cixin raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of spirit. She smiled: “President Wen, what a coincidence.”

“What a coincidence.” Wen Zhihan said with a smile, following her words, and then handed her the phone to the dialing interface.

Shao Cixin dialed her own phone number. Afterwards, the two added each other on WeChat.

After adding the contact information, they each occupied their own end of the back seat, and quietly added notes to the other person’s contact without disturbing them.

Shao Cixin obediently changed Wen Zhihan’s note to “President Wen”.

This was a very uninteresting and bland nickname to her – she wasn’t familiar with Wen Zhihan, and couldn’t use a playful nickname.

“Cixin.”

A gentle voice called her from the side with an intimate nickname.

Shao Cixin was stunned for a moment before she looked up.

“?”

Is she calling me?

Is she calling me??

Why is she suddenly so intimate with me???

Wen Zhihan looked at the suspicion on Shao Cixin’s face and found it funny. With a gentle smile, she asked, “Can’t I call my fiancée like this?”

Shao Cixin reacted.

That’s right, they are going to get married, so there is no need to be so polite with the nickname. Moreover, Wen Zhihan helped her family, so for Shao Cixin, she is the best in the world. Wen Zhihan can do whatever she wants, she will just follow her heart.

So she showed a standard business smile and said softly to Wen Zhihan, “Yes, yes, you can call me whatever you want. If President Wen is happy with it, you can call me ‘Shao Cixin’.”

Guan Yan looked in the rearview mirror.

In the mirror, Wen Zhihan was looking at the other person with a gentle smile still on her lips.

After a while, Wen Zhihan finally spoke.

“Cixin.”

“I’m here, I’m here.”

“You’re a little dog-legged.” 1

“Don’t talk nonsense,” Shao Cixin corrected her seriously, “I call this ‘relaxed’, mainly to make you feel my kindness.”

Wen Zhihan showed a look of realization: “Oh, so it’s to make me feel affection?”

Shao Cixin nodded, her eyes bright: “Yes, yes, do you feel it?”

Wen Zhihan smiled softly: “I feel it, I troubled you.”

Shao Cixin stroked her hair and flattered Wen Zhihan: “No need to be polite, that’s how it should be.”

Anyway, first we must coax this beautiful goddess, and then we can talk!

Coax Wen Zhihan, save the Shao family, and she can do her business peacefully!

Wen Zhihan was silent and smiled gently, her expression as gentle as usual.

It feels like she’s no different than she was in high school….

The conversation was a little more playful and their relationship seemed to have gotten a little closer, but then they ran out of things to say and both turned to look out the window at the scenery.

After a while–

“If it’s convenient,” Wen Zhihan suddenly spoke up, “can you send me your schedule for the next period of time?”

Shao Cixin asked on a whim: “For what?”

Wen Zhihan’s tone was still gentle and soft: “I should at least know when you’re free so I can make an appointment with you to pick out a ring and get the marriage certificate. The ring will be worn on your finger in the end, so I suggest that you pick it out with me, instead of leaving it up to someone else to decide.”

Shao Cixin felt that this made sense – she’s the kind of person who’s a little vain, and likes all sorts of pretty things.

She was able to restrain herself a little before high school, but after starting high school and under the combined pampering of her father and the Shao family’s wealth, that vanity was no longer hidden.

No matter how often she actually wears her wedding ring, it’ll be something that she wears on her finger! How could anything that Miss Shao wears not be pretty? The prettiest one will always be the one that suits her best.

“I’ll listen to you,” Shao Cixin said. “Wait a minute, I’ll ask my agent for my schedule.”

She opened up WeChat and found Rong Ya, quickly typing out a message.

[Shao Cixin]: Sister Rong, can you send me my schedule for the next period?

[Sister Rong]: Didn’t I already send it to you before?

[Shao Cixin]: I forgot to save it and there are too many messages in our chat history, I’m too lazy to look for it.

[Shao Cixin]: I need it urgently, can you just send it to me again? Please?

[Shao Cixin]: [Pleading face.JPG]

[Sister Rong]: Fine fine, I got it, I’ll send it to you.

[Sister Rong]: [File]

[Sister Rong]: I don’t even know why you need it so urgently, aren’t you supposed to be taking a break these next few days?

Shao Cixin turned to look at Wen Zhihan before turning her attention back to her phone screen.

Rong Ya knew that she was the daughter of the Shao family, she knew about the incident with her family, and she was her agent – she belonged to Shao Cixin’s side. So, for both personal and professional reasons, she shouldn’t keep the fact that Wen Zhihan and Shao Cixin were getting married a secret from her.

It isn’t like she wouldn’t find out about it eventually anyway…

[Shao Cixin]: It’s not me who needs it.

[Shao Cixin]: My fiancée wants to look at it.

Receiving the message, Rong Ya’s whole person was shocked into an expression package.2

Fiancée?

Where did this little fiancée come from??

Didn’t she just break up??

She hesitated and confusedly typed two words: [Who is it?]

Shao Cixin confidently typed three words:

– Wen Zhihan

[Sister Rong]: ?

[Sister Rong]: Didn’t you just say you weren’t familiar with each other this afternoon??

[Shao Cixin]: That’s all in the past.

Shao Cixin turned her head and looked at the beautiful goddess next to her, then lowered her head and typed.

[Shao Cixin]: Now we’re the best couple in the world!

Rong Ya: “…”

Did you just call what you said this afternoon “something in the past”?

Changing your mind so quickly, is it possible that…

Shao Cixin was about to put down his phone when she saw Rong Ya had sent her a question.

A simple, worried question…

– Are you being kidnapped?

Shao Cixin: “…”

When your brain is filled with delusions, please stay away from the Criminal Code.
