We Married in a Flash After One-Night Stand

Xia Family.

Xia Shuyuan had been apologetically flattering the person on the other end of the phone, saying good things non-stop, "Yes, yes, you are the bigger person here, it's all our fault. I've booked a private room at Mu Dan Pavilion tonight and will make sure this ignorant girl comes to apologize to you. We'll cover the medical expenses, we will, we will, sure, sure, I'll pick you up tonight!"

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Qiuyue asked, "What did Mr. Wang say?"

"He reluctantly agreed," Xia Shuyuan replied. "Luckily, Mr. Wang wasn't bleeding, just got a big bump on his head, and for that, he's demanding two hundred thousand for medical expenses!"

Thinking about this made him angry, and he cursed, "Xia Zhi, this foolish thing, raised her in vain all these years. She's just like her dead mother, totally unreliable!"

Zheng Qiuyue fanned the flames, saying, "Hubby, she caused this disaster, so she must fix it. Don't even wait till tonight; call her now and let her go apologize to Mr. Wang's company right away! We'll treat him well at the restaurant tonight."

Xia Shuyuan thought about it and agreed, "We can't lose Mr. Wang's support, we must act quickly."

"Exactly, let him cool down early, so we can get the resources sooner, right?" said Zheng Qiuyue.

Xia Shuyuan nodded, "Right, I'm calling her now and if she doesn't go, I'll make a scene at her company!"

Monday morning was always busy, and Xia Zhi was occupied at her computer when her cellphone rang. She glanced briefly and saw it was Xia Shuyuan calling. Frowning, she directly hung up and blocked him without hesitation—too busy yesterday to make time.

Since they had already torn their faces apart, why call again? She wanted nothing to do with him anymore.

When Xia Shuyuan tried calling again, he found himself blocked, his face growing uglier. He stood up from the sofa, angrily saying to Zheng Qiuyue, "Come on, you're coming with me to her company."

The couple left the house, and after half an hour, reached Xia Zhi's company.

It was an office building housing many small companies and studios; among them was Nan Feng Studio where Xia Zhi worked, renting two floors of space.

Getting off the elevator at the studio's floor, the two approached the reception and said, "We're looking for Xia Zhi."

The receptionist said, "Designer Xia has gone out, I don't know when she'll be back."

"She's out? Doesn't she work?" Xia Shuyuan scolded, treating the receptionist like his own subordinate.

The receptionist looked at him disdainfully and said, "Sir, Designer Xia went out for business, not skipping work. If you're looking for her, you should call her."

The couple left empty-handed.

Back in the car, Zheng Qiuyue wondered aloud, "Hubby, do you think she guessed we'd come and deliberately went out to avoid us?"

"Possible." Xia Shuyuan checked the time, it wasn't even noon, so waiting around was not an option.

He instructed the driver to head to Mr. Wang's company.

"To show sincerity, let's visit him again," Xia Shuyuan said. "Before they get off work, we'll come back and intercept her."

Zheng Qiuyue sighed in resignation, "Okay then. We brought so much stuff and even gave money to Mr. Wang yesterday, what else should we bring now?"

"Just money, nothing else would matter," Xia Shuyuan said reluctantly.

Xia Zhi had been busy with work outside all day. When she came back, the receptionist stopped her to say that some people had been looking for her earlier, and they were quite aggressive.

She knew it must have been Xia Shuyuan and simply smiled, saying it was okay, then returned to her workspace.

Just before closing time, He Jinnan sent her a WeChat message: "Honey, I'm here. You can see my car when you come out."

Xia Zhi's office had a clear view of the building entrance. Standing by the window, she indeed saw a Maybach parked conspicuously at the door.

She contemplated asking him to park across the street so her colleagues wouldn't see, but then she changed her mind, thinking whether they saw today or eventually, it was better to openly accept it.

She replied to the message, "I can see your car from upstairs. I'll be off in ten minutes. See you soon." She added a thank you sticker.

Soon, it was time to leave. Xia Zhi gathered her belongings and joined her colleagues in the elevator to go down.

Fortunately, her colleagues weren't nosy. They left the building catching taxis or the subway without anyone paying her or the Maybach any attention.

As she approached the car, suddenly a vehicle from across the street made a sharp U-turn and stopped behind the Maybach, from which Xia Shuyuan and Zheng Qiuyue hurriedly emerged.

"Xia Zhi!"

Xia Shuyuan stormed towards her, "Why did you block your dad?"

Xia Zhi, with a serious look and not mincing her words, replied, "If I didn't block you, should I wait until the new year? We've already torn apart, let's not contact each other again. I don't want to see you!"

"How can you talk to me like that?" Already furious, Xia Shuyuan grew even angrier at her retort and raised his hand to slap Xia Zhi.

But Xia Zhi was ready this time; she wouldn't let herself be slapped again!

Just as Xia Shuyuan's hand moved towards her face, a hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grabbing his wrist.

"Slapping your daughter in public, what kind of father are you?" He Jinnan said coldly and forcefully jerked Xia Shuyuan's arm away.

Seeing He Jinnan, Xia Zhi instinctively moved closer to him, giving him a grateful look.

Xia Shuyuan staggered from the force, and Zheng Qiuyue hurried to support him.

"You brat, it's none of your business. This is our family affair, don't meddle!" Zheng Qiuyue snapped.

He Jinnan stood there, his body exuding an icy chill. He pulled Xia Zhi closer and sneered, "Xia Zhi is now my wife. If anyone dares bully her, they have to answer to me first!"

"What? You're her husband?" Zheng Qiuyue exclaimed, her eyes shifting between the two.

She said sarcastically, "Well well, Xia Zhi, secretly got yourself a wild man, no wonder you left home so readily!"

Xia Zhi laughed in anger, "Zheng Qiuyue, have you ever seen a wild man who drives a Maybach? Go home and check on your own Xia Mo; her boyfriends are the real wild men."

"Xia Zhi!" Xia Shuyuan roared, "Is this how you talk to your elders?"

Without further fuss, he demanded, "You're coming with me now to apologize to Mr. Wang!"

"I'm not going!" Xia Zhi recalled the incident and was infuriated, "The wrongdoing you conspired in, and you want me to apologize? Who gave you the right!"
