Missing your smile

Chapter 44 A Mock Marriage

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Qin Hui quickly took two steps back.

“Qin Hui, you’re the only one who can help me now. I must get the company shares.”

Jiang Yanxi walked up to Qin Hui, her face filled with pleading.

Seeing Jiang Yanxi looking so delicate and charming, Qin Hui felt as if the sun had risen from the west.

He knew that Jiang Yanxi was a woman of exceptionally proud demeanor. For her to act so coquettishly now gave him a bad feeling.

Jin Yan'er, standing nearby, was also stunned. She knew that the CEO's style of handling affairs was always decisive and swift, rarely showing such a feminine side. Could this be a woman in love?

“I’m just an outsider. Even if I wanted to help, I wouldn’t know where to start,” Qin Hui replied weakly, leaning against the wall.

“Don’t worry, as long as you have the intention, that’s enough. Come, go home with me.”

Jiang Yanxi smoothed her forehead hair and instructed.

“Ms. Jiang, I’m a respectable person. If I go home with you like this, won’t it be bad for my reputation?” Qin Hui asked very seriously.

“If you don’t come home with me, I’ll live in your clinic every day.”

Jiang Yanxi was incredibly domineering, giving Qin Hui no room to speak.

Qin Hui nodded helplessly, but in his heart, he thought that sooner or later he would show her his strength. How dare she be so fierce with him! He would have to teach her a good lesson tonight.

Seeing the two of them leave, Jin Yan'er was left alone in the cold wind, speechless. Was this the CEO she knew? Wasn’t it said that Qin Hui was only invited to act?

On the way back, Jiang Yanxi specifically bought a lot of nutritional supplements. It was clear she didn’t usually go home much.

It made sense. Jiang Yanxi’s mind was always focused on work. Only when her father, Jiang Wanran, fell ill last time did she temporarily put aside her work.

“Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?”

Qin Hui sat in the passenger seat, leisurely admiring the scenery outside the window, and occasionally appreciating Jiang Yanxi’s sexy black-stockinged legs.

“It’s very simple, marry me!”

Jiang Yanxi said, word by word.

“What?”

“Marry you?”

“Are you sick?”

Qin Hui was stunned, his eyes filled with shock.

It wasn’t that Qin Hui disliked Jiang Yanxi, but he felt this was too surreal.

“It’s just a fake marriage. You can do whatever you want then, it has nothing to do with me,” Jiang Yanxi corrected.

“As a reward, you can get 20% of the shares in the Jiang Group, even more than me. From now on, it’s like I’m working for you,” Jiang Yanxi stated calmly.

“Oh?”

Qin Hui let out an “Oh,” finding Jiang Yanxi’s actions a bit hard to understand.

“In the current situation, Fu Bo’s shares have already surpassed mine. To regain control, I must get the shares held by my father.”

“But to get my father’s shares, I must marry myself off.”

Jiang Yanxi’s eyes were very calm, as if this was just a transaction.

“It seems that for the sake of company power, you’re even willing to sell yourself. But won’t you regret it?” Qin Hui asked, somewhat surprised.

Qin Hui didn’t like mixing personal feelings with benefits. If it was just for this reason that Jiang Yanxi married him, then it really wasn’t necessary.

Of course, Qin Hui would still help her with this, but after it was done, he would voluntarily return the shares.

“Regret?”

“There’s nothing to regret. I have to get married sooner or later anyway. I might as well marry someone ordinary to avoid future trouble.” Jiang Yanxi said very openly.

Actually, Jiang Yanxi’s thoughts were quite simple. Since she had to get married sooner or later, why not marry someone she liked?

In her heart, she did have some feelings for Qin Hui, though she hadn’t realized it herself.

Moreover, Qin Hui had saved her father’s life, so in terms of both emotion and reason, she owed Qin Hui one.

“Tsk tsk, in that case, wouldn’t I be getting a beautiful wife for free?”

Qin Hui smiled broadly, casually placed one hand on Jiang Yanxi’s thigh, and then gently stroked it.

He had to admit, it felt good.

Jiang Yanxi’s expression instantly turned cold. She hadn’t expected Qin Hui to be so bold.

“Take your hand away.”

Jiang Yanxi tried to calm herself down. This was the first time a man had placed his hand on her leg, and it made her incredibly angry.

“You said it yourself, you’re going to marry me. From now on, you’re my wife. This little thing between husband and wife isn’t a big deal, right?” Qin Hui said with a triumphant laugh.

Since Jiang Yanxi wanted to use him to gain control of the company, Qin Hui felt it was only right to collect some interest in advance. Who told her to be so fierce with him? Qin Hui had to make a statement.

“Take your hand away!”

“No.”

“There’s the ring road canal a hundred meters ahead. Want to try swimming?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Hui immediately withdrew his hand.

Looking at Jiang Yanxi’s expression, Qin Hui was certain that this girl would drive the car into the river, and he’d be eliminated.

Seeing Qin Hui’s frightened look, Jiang Yanxi scoffed and rolled her eyes at him.

Qin Hui immediately felt like he had lost out, realizing he had been tricked.

Half an hour later, Qin Hui and Jiang Yanxi arrived at the villa on the mountainside, where Jiang Wanran lived.

Jiang Wanran was very enthusiastic when he saw Qin Hui. He had long wanted to marry his daughter to Qin Hui.

Seeing his daughter come to see him with Qin Hui this time, Jiang Wanran had no reason not to be happy.

“Hello, Uncle Jiang.”

Qin Hui smiled and greeted him naturally.

“Qin Hui, it’s rare for you to visit. Come, play chess with me. I’m getting moldy staying here alone,” Jiang Wanran joked.

Qin Hui nodded, naturally having no reason to refuse.

“Daughter, don’t just stand there. Can’t you see we have a guest? Hurry up and help in the kitchen. You have to cook a few good dishes today.” Jiang Wanran instructed directly.

Jiang Yanxi was instantly speechless. I’m your daughter, okay.

Despite her speechlessness, Jiang Yanxi obediently went to cook.

In the courtyard on the second floor, Qin Hui played chess with Uncle Jiang while chatting about trivial matters of life.

“By the way, Qin Hui, you’ve come about the share situation, haven’t you?” Jiang Wanran, being very familiar with his daughter, knew Qin Hui’s intentions without needing to guess.

“Don’t worry, Uncle Jiang. After this is settled, I’ll give the shares to Yanxi. Since she’s asked me, I’ll naturally help,” Qin Hui said naturally.

“Hehe, this will be a matter for you two young people from now on. I won’t interfere.”

“Yanxi is my only daughter, and I’ve always doted on her. But she has a good heart. You must treat her well,” Jiang Wanran said, patting Qin Hui on the shoulder and admonishing him.

“Uncle Jiang, things aren’t as serious as you think. Yanxi and I, actually…” Qin Hui was about to explain, but Jiang Wanran interrupted him.

“I don’t care about all that. I’ll be marrying my daughter off to you from now on.” Jiang Wanran spoke with the tone of a father-in-law.

He had long wanted to marry his daughter to Qin Hui, no matter what means were used. After all, following Qin Hui, Jiang Yanxi’s path would be much smoother, which was his greatest wish.

“Okay!”

Qin Hui nodded solemnly.
