Ling Tianyi was afraid that Xia Xiaoluo would mess it up when asked by his mother, he started the introduction first, “Xiaoluo is the daughter of Xia Youfeng, the boss of Youfeng Real Estate Company. Although the company is not a big one, it has a good fame these years without any violation of law. Xiaoluo is his second daughter. She’s eighteen years old, and she’s very nice and healthy with a good look. She’s unlike those misses who’s got a bad temper.”
“Good!” Ling Desheng was satisfied with his son’s introduction. Although in his heart, Xia Xiaoluo couldn’t be compared to Shen Jiani, and Youfeng Real Estate was not comparable to Shen’s Group, this girl was still pleasing to the eye.
“Xiaoluo, come and take a bottle of juice. Is the outside hot?” He Meishu entertained her warmly.
“It’s hot, but much cool inside.” Xia Xiaoluo was very gentle with a smile, and He Meishu felt comfortable at her look. She could never know, the girl who looked dignified and well-mannered was actually a crazy girl in the back.
He Meishu exchanged a glance with Ling Desheng and slowly said, “My boy, Xiaoluo is only 18 years old. I’m afraid that she can't get a marriage certificate in this age. But it doesn't matter. Let’s hold a wedding feast first. Two years later, when Xiaoluo is twenty, you go to get the certificate then.”
“I’ve planned it well, Mum. After she get her passport, I’ll take her to the America and register for our marriage. There’s no such a restriction to the age. We’ll have a vacation by the way, enjoying ourselves.” Saying this, he looked at the petite woman by his side affectionately. He must perform he loved her so much that his parents could believe him this was for his true love, not benefits.
“Okay, take your time. If there is a matter in the company, hand it over to your father. You two should work hard and bring me back a grandson after your honeymoon.” He Meishu said with her eyes lighting up, and an image of a healthy and active kid came up into her mind.
Xia Xiaoluo’s face blushed: how could she make it so straightforward? However, she did not want to give birth to the baby of this man, because she merely agreed to marry him, not to have a baby!
He Meishu saw that Xia Xiaoluo was embarrassed, so she didn’t entangle this problem and naturally changed the topic, “Xiaoluo, are you still going to school? Which school?”
Xia Xiaolu was at a loss. When she graduated from high school, she did not intend to continue to go to college, and she had no money for it. Ling Tianyi had already considered it, so he said leisurely, “She just graduated from high school this year and is about to marry me. I don't think the ordinary university is suitable for her and arranged her to go to Dwichen’s College and learn Chinese major. As the saying goes, if one is well-educated, he will scintillate with it. I don't expect her to be a scholar, just hoping she can read more classical poetry and foreign classics, and cultivate her taste.”
“This is a good idea. You graduated from Dwichen’s College, and we are the biggest shareholder of that school. If Xiaoluo is pregnant, it’s easy for us to ask a temporary absence for her through a phone call.” He Meishu wanted a grandson so much that she came back after a few words, and Xia Xiaoluo felt embarrassed all of a sudden.
“When are you going to the United States? Will we hold the wedding feast in Jiangzhou before you leave for the registration or after?” He Meishu was very concerned about her son’s marriage, and her smile has never disappeared
“I plan to go to the America first and have a honeymoon trip. Xiaoluo is young, and she’s a student. It is not suitable for her to attend a big feast. We’d better hold the feast when Xiaoluo is a little older.” Ling Tianyi said, and he would absolutely not to let the outside know his marriage. Just as he said before, he only liked the body of this small woman, and he didn’t love her at all. Since it was possible to divorce at any time, there was no need for them to make this marriage too big.
“Mischief! How can we hold no feast when you get married?” Ling Desheng was a little bit angry. In the past few years, he saw his old friends’ children getting married, and he hoped to give his son and daughter-in-law a grand wedding ceremony in the future, never thinking his son would want to have a honeymoon trip.
Ling Desheng resolutely opposed his son’s honeymoon trip, and so did He Meishu.
The most important purpose of Ling Tianyi’s marriage was to obtain inheritance rights. Although he admitted he was obsessed with the body of the little girl, he knew that this was not love. A marriage without love was bound to fail. Since the divorce was doomed, the marriage must be kept in a low profile, so that it would not become the headline of newspapers and magazines when they were divorced.
Ling Tianyi couldn’t directly confront his parents, so he simply found a reason. Youfeng Group was too small now, and it would take them a year or two to support it getting stronger. When the strength of Youfeng Real Estate got better, they would hold the wedding ceremony officially, and both of the two families would have a face.
Ling Tianyi’s statement was useful, for Ling Desheng had always been paying great attention to his face. Ling Desheng recognized his idea, but his son must not blindly help Youfeng Real Estate. Only when there were profits, could they talk about cooperation and support.
As for He Meishu, Ling Tianyi only need to ensure that even if he would not hold the feast, he would not delay the birth of her grandson. He Meishu would have nothing to say, for her grandson was the first in her mind.
Xia Xiaoluo had her dinner very carefully. It was a tiring day, so she was already hungry, but she could only taste the dishes near her, simply taking a little. She dared not gorge, for fear of being inelegant.
After dinner, Xia Xiaoluo remembered that Ling Tianyi had asked her to go to the kitchen to give a hand, so she went to clear up with the servants.
Ling Tianyi raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and she finished her duty quickly. He Meishu immediately and politely invited Xia Xiaoluo to watch TV. Xia Xiaoluo unconsciously glanced at Ling Tianyi, which made him have a sense of achievement. “Okay, sit down with my parents. We have servants to do these jobs.”
Xia Xiaoluo followed He Meishu went to sit in the couch blankly. Ling Desheng was watching the news. Although the two women did not care about the national events, they could only watch together with him.
Ling Tianyi returned to his room and took something, and he left with Xia Xiaoluo. It had been at least seven or eight years that Ling Tianyi did not spend one night with his parents at home.
“Girl, except the 90-degree bow in the beginning, which was too exaggerated, other performances are not bad. I have been worried that you would have a big fall in high heels, but you were reliable expectedly.” Ling Tianyi praised the little girl while driving.
“Today’s overall performance just passed, so what rewards do you want?” Ling Tianyi was in a very good mood at that time, as long as her requirements were reasonable, he will meet her needs.
“Treat me with a big meal.” Xia Xiaoluo blurt out and covered her growling belly, and then added, “You said that I’m not allowed to eat much, otherwise it will not be elegant, but I am starving now.”
“What do you want to eat?” Ling Tianyi asked.
“A bowl of Malatang, ten grilled meat, and a bottle of Coke.” Xia Xiaoluo wanted them with a greedy drooling.
Ling Tianyi stunned at that and immediately turned the car around. “No junk food. If you like snacks, I’ll take you to the food court where the snacks are clean and the environment is good.”
Xia Xiaoluo didn’t object, and she knew that there was no stance for her to say no. Anyway, she was so hungry, and she was never a picky eater—it would be fine to have something to eat, except stinky tofu.
Soon, Xia Xiaoluo sat in the private dining room of the restaurant. The decoration was luxurious, and it was apparently a high-end place. The snacks came one by one, all of which were delicate, and the roadside stall foods were not comparable with them.
Xia Xiaoluo didn’t perform as a lady any more, but began to gorge with a bad table manner. Ling Tianyi sighed that fortunately his parents did not see this scene, otherwise this marriage would not come through.
“Why don't you eat? This shrimp dumpling tastes good. Give it a try.” Xia Xiaoluo waved her small oily hands in front of Ling Tianyi.
Ling Tianyi sat next to Xia Xiaoluo, but he didn’t eat anything. Hearing her invitation, he couldn’t help but frown, but looking at her excitement, he finally grabbed a bite.
“My secretary has already got your household register, and you can reapply your ID card tomorrow. I believe the passport will be available soon.” Ling Tianyi said. Xia Xiaoluo thought about it and replied, “Actually, I didn’t lose my ID card.”
“You...you dare to lie to me?” Ling Tianyi was annoyed, and suddenly caught Xia Xiaoluo’s wrist, and the chopsticks fell instantly.
“I didn’t mean it. I didn't want to marry you at the time so I lie to you. Now I know I can’t escape, so...” Xia Xiaoluo’s voice was getting lower, and in the end he could hardly hear what she said. After all, Ling Tianyi was angry, and she was still a little scared.
“Give me your ID card.” Ling Tianyi issued his orders, and the tone was unquestionable.
“I couldn’t afford the rent before, and my ID card and mobile phone were pledged to the landlord.” Xia Xiaoluo whispered with a look of grievances.
Ling Tianyi felt very angry that how could she give the ID card to someone else, and why was this clumsy girl so lacking of minds? How could he, the presidential Huasheng Group find such a silly wife? He finally made up his mind that if he met a better one in the future, he would change his wife immediately.
“Haven’t you done?” Ling Tianyi asked angrily. Xia Xiaoluo nodded and shook his head., so Ling Tianyi was not clear. “I’m asking you questions.”
“I’m full, but not stuffed.” Xia Xiaoluo finished her expression with a little bit of embarrassment.
“If you are full, that’s enough! Why don’t you take the ID card back with me?” Ling Tianyi was very sensitive to such documents. His documents were also kept very well, for fear someone would take advantages of them; the little girl just handed over the identity card to the others—she was really dim-witted.
Xia Xiaoluo saw his frown and cold face, and did not dare to mention to eat anything else. All she could do was to find the landlord with Ling Tianyi.
The landlord was a man who lived money so much that he could do anything for it. Ling Tianyi threw him a was of bills, and he immediately gave her ID card and mobile phone to Xia Xiaoluo, and said a lot of polite words.
The landlord left. Xia Xiaoluo still wouldn’t want to leave her small crude room.
“Won’t leave? You want to sprout and bloom here?” Ling Tianyi roared.
“May I pack things up?” Xia Xiaoluo cautiously asked.
Ling Tianyi looked around Xia Xiaoluo’s small crude room and couldn't help but frown, “Just throw away all your garbages.
Xia Xiaoluo was also a short-tempered person. Hearing that her things were rubbish, she immediately became angry. “Why do you say that my things are garbage? I want to keep them. If you don't allow me to take my things, I won’t go with you. Humph, even if my stuff is garbage, I’ll live and die with them.”
Although she was sometimes afraid of Ling Tianyi, Xia Xiaoluo even dared to talk back to those who were of supreme power with her stubbornness. There were belongings of her deceased mother left in the room that she had rented. No one else could ever touch all these belongings for the reason that they were the most valuable treasures of hers after she matured. While today, her treasures were depreciated as rubbish, Xia Xiaoluo flew into a great rage in a second. “Xia Xiaoluo! How dare you say that to me? Do you think that you can do whatever you want as you gonna be Mrs. Ling soon? Don’t forget what I said. I can spoil you so much as if you were in Heaven. Meanwhile, however, I’m also able to let you go to hell at any time.” After these words, Ling Tianyi slammed the cup on the desk onto the floor. Instantly, glass was broken into pieces, which made Xia Xiaoluo even madder.“This is my home! You are not welcomed! Get out of my room! Get out!” said Xia Xiaol
Just having a glance at Xia Xiaoluo, Ling Tianyi knew that she was drugged. Looking around the room, Ling Tianyi couldn’t help giving a gasp of horror. Shen Jiani called him, telling him that she found Xia Xiaoluo in the Bar. Had the damn Shen Jiani not called him, he could not have imagined what might happen to Xia Xiaoluo.“President Ling, there must be something misunderstanding! Yes, a misunderstanding! I have no idea that she is your woman. If so, I would not ever dare to touch her a finger, even if you would allow me to do so. It’s her sister who sent her to me. Great fortune! I have not yet…”Kneeling down on the floor, Bang was sure that he had offended this very important figure who was quite popular both in the business circle and the underground. “Get out!” Ling Tianyi shouted with great anger, kicking out Bang who was getting on his knees and begging for mercy. But, at this moment, Ling Tianyi did not have any time to
As expected by Ling Tianyi, Xia Youfeng and Zhu Yufen were searching for Xia Xiaoluo all over the world. Finally, they found her living in the presidential suite of Hously Hotel together with Ling Tianyi. Xia Youfeng and Zhu Yufen braced themselves to come over here. Of course, they also brought about her suitcase, which was thought about by her. Both Xia Youfeng and Zhu Yufen were obsequious with Xia Xiaoluo and Ling Tianyi, trying to butter them up. They did so for they had two purposes, namely, first and foremost, they wanted to have Ling Tianyi forgive the Xia family and Xia Jingru; secondly, they hoped Huasheng Group, owned by Ling Tianyi, would invest in You Feng Real Estate Group. Regardless of what they were talking about, Xia Xiaoluo just opened her suitcase and turned searched in it to find an old iron box. Finding it remaining intact, she took a sigh of relief and finally set her mind at rest.“Oh, emm... What did you say?” Xia Xia
After a lot of back and forth, they finally went on board successfully.“I didn’t expect plane is so good. I can lie down for a nap, and it’s better than cars.” This was her first time to travel by airplane, so she was very excited.“Idiot. You know nothing about the world.” Ling Tianyi closed his eyes to rest his mind, and he definitely flew first class. If they were in economy class, they would not feel more comfortable than taking a car.All of a sudden, he realized the fact that his little girl was a foodie, so he sat up at once, stared at Xia Xiaoluo, and said, “I warn you, although the food and drinks on the plane are free, you mustn’t take advantage of that. I don’t want to lose face with you.”Xia Xiaoluo was dejected, because she had been planning to eat and drink more, for everything was free, and it was natural for her to take advantage of that. However, she didn’t dare not to listen to Ling Tianyi.He glanc
Facing the strike of Aunt Flow, Ling Tianyi was driven mad: that was his wedding night!“I found it when I took a shower just now, so I didn't come out.” Xia Xiaoluo was so shy that her face was blushed, and she didn’t dare to look at Ling Tianyi’s sad expression, which showed his dissatisfaction.“Why didn’t you say it earlier?” He was extremely depressed.“I wanted to tell you all the time, but you didn’t give me a chance.” She pursed her lips, feeling wronged.Ling Tianyi was speechless, and both of them were silent. Xia Xiaoluo plucked up her courage and said, “I didn’t prepare napkins.”“Are you hungry? Didn’t you eat two steaks tonight?” Ling Tianyi said angrily. He was so high-spirited, but ended up in such a fate.“I don’t mean the napkins used at meals, but the sanitary ones.” With her head down, her face was flushed.With a grim expression, Ling Tianyi was so angry that he wanted to
The tour to Country A, which lasted more than two weeks, was finally over. Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo returned to City A, and she lived in Ling Tianyi’s apartment. Although Xia Xiaoluo has destroyed it, Luna had arranged a cleaning company to tidy the apartment up, and decorated it properly.Xia Xiaoluo brought back a lot of things from Country A, which were bought by Ling Tianyi, including jewelry, beautiful clothes, branded bags, and high-end cosmetics...Totaling up the price of these things, she found the amount could buy a three-bedroom apartment in City A. Xia Xiaoluo had a dream when she was young: leaving her family and having her own house. Therefore, the first thing she did after she came back to City A was to apply for an e-shop and sell all the precious things from Country A on the Internet.During the day, Ling Tianyi went to work, and Xia Xiaoluo surfed the Internet at home, always paying attention to the sales performance of her
Seeing Ling Tianyi ignored her, Xia Xiaoluo kept making up.“So sorry! It’s my fault, and I shouldn’t sell what you bought for me. Therefore, I cooked a table of dishes to apologize. You won’t be too mean, will you?” Xia Xiaoluo sincerely apologized. Although she was often a stubborn person, after all she grew up in a family like hers, knowing that “beggars can’t be choosers”, and when she thought about it, she realized she did something wrong.Ling Tianyi was a person who could be persuaded by reason but not be cowed by force. Seeing her sincerity, he was not that angry anymore. Now that the dinner was ready, he had better give it a try. If it were too bad, they could go to the western restaurant he reserved before.The dishes included Tomato Slices with Sugar, Stir Fried Potatoes with Vinegar, Fried Bean Sprouts, Tiger-Skin Green Peppers, and Chinese Cabbage and Tofu Soup.Looking at those poor dishes without any meat, Ling Tiany
Time flies. The week soon passed when Xia Xiaoluo could enjoy herself whatever she liked. And it was the time for Dwichen’s College to start soon after the week.Xia Youfeng dared not to violate Ling Tianyi’s order, so he especially and flatteringly drove his Bench to meet Xia Xiaoluo in the early morning. Youfeng Real Estate Company was experiencing a slump and the future of it now completely depended on the hand of his son-in-law. In recent days, Ling Tianyi had helped his company intentionally or unintentionally, making him more aware of the importance of wooing Xia Xiaoluo, though he used to be always taking bad care of her. Due to the indifferent and distant relationship between Xia Youfeng and Xia Xiaoluo, Xia Xiaoluo kept silent all the way, but, by contrast, Xia Youfeng was trying to find some topics to chat with her and flatter her. As the top 1 college for the nobility in City A, Dwichen’s College had enormous excellen
Everyone changed the clothes specially for the sky diving. Ouyang Ziqian and Dou Ya were the first to jump, and they were tied up together. Although Dou Ya liked the exciting sky diving, it was the first time for her to do it. So Ouyang Ziqian dared not to let Dou Ya do it by herself, and he wanted to do it with Dou Ya, then they could kiss above the clouds.After them, a group of people jumped down. Of course, Chu Wei was afraid of height. Although he was not afraid of taking planes, he could not do the sky diving, so Ling Tianxue accompanied him to stay in the cabin. When they saw the cabin full of roses and balloons, they kissed each other at once.Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo planned to jump with them at the beginning, and they wanted to experience the kissing above the clouds. But when they were at the exit of the cabin, Xia Xiaoluo waved her hands.“Darling, I can’t jump, I do not feel well!” Xia Xiaoluo said.“What’s the matt
On September 19th, Yao Sheng and Shen Jiani got married. The wedding was held by the sea. It was happy and romantic...On September 28th, Chu Wei married Ling Tianxue. The wedding was held under a Ferris wheel in the amusement park. It was happy and romantic...On October 10th, Fang Ruichen and Luo Xixi got married. The wedding was held in the Hously Hotel. It was happy and romantic...At this time, Ouyang Ziqian couldn’t wait anymore. After witnessing the happiness one after another, he didn’t want to get married at the end of the year. In addition, he didn’t want to get engaged before marriage, because it would be troublesome. He planned to get married directly.However, even though Dou Ya and Ouyang Ziqian knew that they would get married at the end of the year, he hadn’t made a formal proposal for marriage. It was unfair to Dou Ya.Without making Dou Ya know it, Ouyang Ziqian met Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo secretl
“Long time ago, I was in my high school at that time. I was pure and it was the best time in my life. However, you brought the nightmare to me. I can’t get away from it for many years.”“At one weekend, some schoolmates and I went to a bar to have fun. I was curious because it was my first time to go there. When I went to the washroom, I encountered you who was drunk. You dragged me to a corner and it was terrifying. You robbed my virginity. I hated you so much that I really wanted to kill you at that time. I always tried to revenge, and it never changed!”“Therefore, Xia Xiaoluo made me meet you again. In order to help Ling Tianyi to save her, I helped them. It seemed that she was hurt deliberately by her elder sister. You also appeared at that time.”“However, I have already changed. I wasted my life in bars, and I didn’t mind having sex with others. When we had sex that time, I saw the scar that I’ve bitten on your shoulder at that time. I f
After Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo bought the soy-braised pork, they came back to the hospital exactly when Yao Sheng was sent out from the emergency room. Yao Sheng was strong enough and the first-aid was in time. Therefore, Yao Sheng was out of danger even though he didn’t wake up.“There is nothing serious. He is sleeping now. We need to observe him for several days after he wakes up. He can be discharged from hospital if there is no pulmonary infection or fever.” The attending doctor said.“OK!” Ling Tianyi nodded, and then he continued to ask, “Doctor, is there anything we should pay attention to after my friend is sent to the ICU?”“Manager Ling, don’t worry. The patient’s condition is stable, so there is no need for him to go to the ICU. We will send him to a public ward for distinguished patients on the 8th floor. I guess that he will wake up in 2 or 3 hours. At that time, we will hold a consultation for him again.” The doctor said with
An ambulance was waiting for them at the port before the ship reached shore. Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo accompanied Yao Sheng. They took Yao Sheng to the St. Mary's Private Hospital at the first time which was the nearest to the sea and which was very famous.Shen Jiani held Yao Sheng’s hands all the time. She kept crying. She seemed very miserable. But Yao Sheng still looked pale. He did not wake up.In the hospital, Yao Sheng was in the operating room. Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo were waiting outside. Xia Xiaoluo went to Shen Jiani’s side. “Sister Jiani, don’t worry. Yao Sheng will be fine. He is a good person. God will bless him.”“It’s all my fault, It’s all my fault!”“I hurt him. My fault, it’s my fault...”Shen Jiani was crying. Xia Xiaoluo did not know how to persuade her.Ling Tianyi pulled Xia Xiaoluo to his side. “Leave her alone. The woman is too vicious. I don’t want you to contact her. You w
“Mother!”“Little sister-in-law!”“What’s the matter with my brother? I heard that he jumped into the sea? So I hurried to see what was going on!”Ling Tianxue and Chu Wei appeared on the deck as well. Ling Tianxue went to support He Meishu instinctively.When He Meishu saw Ling Tianxue, she grabbed Ling Tianxue’s arms immediately. “Tianxue, your brother jumped down to save Yao Sheng. What should we do? It has been a long time and he hasn’t come out yet. My heart!”“Save Yao Sheng?” Ling Tianxue didn’t know what was going on.Xia Xiaoluo forced herself to use her strong willpower to tell them about the situation.“Yao Sheng is really good at making troubles.” Ling Tianxue looked at the sea anxiously, and she comforted He Meishu as well. “Mom! Don’t worry. My brother is such a good swimmer. I’m sure he’ll be all right.”Ling Tianyi jumped into the sea to save Yao Sheng. At this tim
Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo spent the perfect wedding night in the romantic wedding room on the luxurious cruise ship. The whole cruise ship was influenced by their love and was full of romantic atmosphere.Xia Xiaoluo woke up in Ling Tianyi’s arms. Ling Tianyi was looking at her with his eyes full of love, “Good morning, darling!”“Good morning, darling!” Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile. Finally they became legal couples.Although they have called each other ‘wife and husband’ for a long time, it was different today. Because their marriage was finally blessed by people and protected by the law.“You are so beautiful, darling!” Ling Tianyi’s eyes were full of love.“You are so handsome, darling!” Xia Xiaoluo’s eyes were full of happiness.“You are so cute, darling!” Ling Tianyi continued praising.“That’s it!” Xia Xiaoluo finally laughed, “Stop praising each other. It’s so funny.”“
Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo danced the first dance, winning everyone’s applause and praise. When others were dancing, Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo out of the dancing floor. He knew that Xia Xiaoluo was tired. If she stayed there in the daytime, she would sleep once she touched the pillow at night. There was no spirit for her to do something romantic with him.“Mommy, mommy...” Taotao took Xiaoxiao’s hands. The two children ran over together.“Taotao, mom and dad are very busy today. We had no time to take care of you. Did you eat something? Are you naughty? Did you have fun with sister Xiaoxiao?” Xia Xiaoluo held the two children in her arms together. They seemed very intimate.“Taotao is very obedient. I have lunch obediently. I am not naughty.” Taotao said, and then he looked at Xia Xiaoluo, “Mommy, I’m having a good time with sister Xiaoxiao.”“Xiaoxiao, are you seasick on the yacht? Are you afraid?” Xia Xiaoluo cared about the
Ling Tianyi arrived at the wedding scene, which was on the beach.Today’s weather was very good. It was neither sunny nor rainy. It was cool. Sometimes the fresh breeze blew gently. It was very comfortable.The wedding host was the top host in A City who was very experienced. Before Ling Tianyi arrived, the atmosphere at scene was already very good. When Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo got off the car, they set off a small climax again.Although the Ling family and the Ouyang family were not religious, the wedding was held in a church at the seaside.“I don’t know there is a church here. I remember that when I was a child, I played here, but I had never seen it. I didn’t expect to see such a splendid church here.” Xia Xiaoluo looked at the magnificent building near the sea. She could not help sighing.“Of course you don’t know. I built this church three years ago for the wedding. Because I thought that our wedding will be
