Chapter 45 The Game Begins

"Okay." Shava immediately became serious after thinking this. Even though he usually seemed carefree and nonchalant, he would never be careless when it came to the tasks Fu Yungui assigned him.

Having arranged everything, before dawn, Fu Yungui flew back to Thailand in a helicopter.

Because of her sudden encounter with Fu Yungui during the day, Momo was trapped in a deep nightmare all night, unable to sleep well and struggling to wake up.

She didn't wake up from her dream until nine o'clock in the morning when Su He called her to get up for breakfast.

"It's not very warm in the room, why are you all sweaty?" Su He reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Did you have a nightmare?"

Momo nodded, still not recovered from the dream she had just had.

"It's okay, dreams are the opposite of reality. They're over when you wake up. Hurry up and get up, wash up and eat."

She nodded, but remained seated on the bed without moving. After a while, she changed her clothes and went downstairs.

"Mom, where's Dad?" She looked around and saw only Su He busy in the kitchen.

Because it's almost Chinese New Year, all the housekeepers who help out at home have gone home for the holidays, so Suhe is in charge of all the meals at home.

Su He loves cooking, but Huang Sanlin was worried that she would work too hard, so he didn't want her to do these things and insisted on hiring a housekeeper to come to their house. Su He agreed to his request.

“Your father had a business dinner today and left early,” Su He said.

"Okay, Dad's been having more social engagements lately."

“After all, this is how things are when you become famous.” Su He has always understood him, both before and now that he’s popular.

She never interfered excessively in these matters, lest it burden him.

"I hope Dad can stay at home peacefully during the Chinese New Year and not go anywhere."

Su He smiled and said, "Me too."

"That way he can get some rest too," she added.

Since the movie became a hit, Huang Sanlin has hardly had a single day of real rest.

Seeing the unconcealed fatigue on his smiling face every night, she truly felt heartbroken.

Momo smiled and said, "Since Mom agrees, I'll go talk to Dad and we'll make him rest."

Su He smiled and said, "Sure, but whether it works or not depends on whether you have a good idea."

"Don't worry, Mom," Momo said confidently.

Su He smiled and said nothing more.

After having breakfast, Momo went back to her room and texted Bian Xi.

If she was still a little hesitant yesterday, after experiencing the scene of being choked by that man in her dream all night, she instantly understood.

She needs the marriage law to protect herself, and she also needs to be responsible for Bian Xi's safety.

Therefore, she also agreed with Bian Xi's idea last night: to get married as soon as possible, cut off all thoughts that man might have about her from the source, and then let life return to peace as soon as possible.

After she made up her mind, she picked up her phone from the cabinet to edit the message, only to find an extra message on it when she opened the phone.

【Huang Momo, the game has begun. Are you ready?】

Momo was startled and almost dropped her phone; she collapsed onto the bed.

...

Bian Xi saw the news as soon as he came out of the meeting.

[Xiao Momo] I've thought it through, let's get married as soon as possible.

He stared at that sentence for a long time, the smile on his lips impossible to hide.

"Mr. Bian, what's the good news? Why are you so happy?" His secretary happened to pass by and saw him staring at his phone with a big smile on his face, so she couldn't help but ask.

Bian Xi looked up at her and said, "It's good news, but I can't share it with you yet."

The secretary smiled, asked no further questions, and walked straight ahead in her high heels.

[Bian Xi] Okay, then I'll go buy a ring tonight.

【Little Momo】Okay.

[Xiao Momo] Before getting married, let's have an engagement first, since my parents value the process. The engagement can be simple; both families can just have a meal together.

[Bian Xi] Okay, we'll talk about everything when I get back.

【Little Momo】Okay.

After lunch, Momo went upstairs for a nap and didn't go out for a stroll in the alley until about three o'clock in the afternoon.

Because it was winter, the wind was strong in the alley. She was afraid of catching a cold, so after walking around half of the alley, she prepared to go back. Just as she reached the alley entrance, she unexpectedly bumped into Bian Xi, who was getting out of the car.

Momo was surprised, "Why are you home from get off work so early?"

"I asked my dad for leave this afternoon and went out specifically."

Momo then noticed the bag in his hand and smiled, "Have you bought the ring?"

"Hmm." Bian Xi smiled and said, "But I can't show it to you yet. Let's keep it a little mysterious for now. I'll arrange everything for the wedding first, and then I'll tell you. We'll then have a serious talk with both sets of parents about this together."

Momo smiled and said, "Okay." She was completely at ease leaving things to him to handle.

Bian Xi smiled, took her hand, and the two walked side by side into the alley.

"Aren't you cold?" Bian Xi asked, noticing her bare neck. "Why don't you wear a scarf?"

Momo smiled and shook her head, "It's not cold."

Shawa had been squatting here for a long time without seeing Momo, but when he finally saw her come out, he was surprised to see the two of them showing off their love. He couldn't help but sigh. If Brother Yun saw this, who knows what kind of show it would be.

He hid in the car and took a few photos, along with all the information he had gathered during this period, and sent them to Fu Yungui.

[Sawa] Boss, they're making wedding preparations lately.

It wasn't until nightfall that a reply came, a single, indifferent word: "Mm."

It's been almost half a month since I met Fu Yungui that day. Apart from receiving that warning message, I haven't heard anything further from that man.

She had a vague sense of unease; the situation of having the enemy in the shadows while they were in the open was truly unbearable. But a month passed, and still there was no news.

Later, she comforted herself, thinking she was probably overthinking it; the man didn't seem like the type to remain silent for so long. She then put the matter out of her mind, but continued to follow Bian Xi's plan step by step to complete their important event.

Two days ago, Bian Xi brought his parents to the house to propose marriage. Although Su He didn't understand why the two were in such a hurry to get married, she and Huang Sanlin didn't say anything because she saw that her daughter was willing.

Even if you're extremely reluctant, your daughter will eventually get married; it's just a matter of sooner or later.

The two families had a meal together and held a simple engagement ceremony, after which Momo's middle finger was adorned with her name.

The wedding date was also set for three months later, when the flowers were in full bloom and the grass was lush, perfect for a wedding and giving both families enough time to prepare.

Just then, Huang Sanlin's new movie was finished filming, and he had some free time.
