Chapter 47 I Got Married
Chapter 47 I Got Married
Chapter 47 I Got Married
Time flies, and the official efficiency is very high.
After speaking with each of them three times and spending five days on the island, they were allowed to leave and go home.
Xia Chenggan was carried onto the boat by Xia Chengan.
It must have been the bodyguards who did it behind Xia Cheng'an's back; Xia Cheng'an insisted on doing it himself.
He always wanted to do something for Xia Chenggan, and he couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw Xia's injured leg.
Seeing his pathetic state, Xia Chenggan softened and let Xia Chengan carry him on his back.
Zhou Ran walked onto the ship and stood on the deck, looking regretfully at the island.
"It's a pity, it seems we can't buy this island."
"If you like, I have one that I can give you."
When Xia Chengan, who was now back in his wheelchair, heard Zhou Ran complaining, he offered to give him the island.
"Oh my, our CEO has hit the jackpot! How could I refuse such a great deal? I'll sign the papers as soon as I get back."
Zhou Ran, being a money-grubber, agreed first, but when she didn't see Xia Chenggan's expression change, she felt it was pointless.
A belated inquiry.
Which island?
"On the outskirts of J City in the south."
“Rich people, that was one of the earliest open cities, a first-tier city.”
"Ancestral property".
The mere mention of Xia Chenggan's name made Zhou Ran grit her teeth; flaunting wealth was truly annoying.
He was once a wealthy man, and he once owned an island.
The thought of his assets turning into bubbles makes me want to punch someone.
Now is not a good time to get involved with Guo Xiang.
"You've forgotten that you'll become my spouse, and you'll also have a share of these ancestral properties."
Xia Chenggan reminded Zhou Ran that there were many benefits to marrying him.
For the past five days, every time he went to see Zhou Ran, he was met with disdainful looks from her.
They said they were really looking forward to their wedding.
Their eyes, however, blatantly proclaimed: "Marrying you is the greatest blessing you've ever received."
Your family's ancestral graves must have been emitting auspicious smoke to have someone as powerful as me.
Xia Chenggan felt like he was being manipulated by Zhou Ran's gaze.
Except for the first time when he didn't realize what was happening and Zhou Ran forced him to marry him.
Later, through some information revealed by the authorities, the research direction of this base was determined.
Xia Chenggan knew why Zhou Ran still insisted on marrying him despite her disdain.
The officials had clearly checked Zhou Ran's information; the sympathetic look in their eyes when they inquired about their previous relationship made Xia Chenggan's skin crawl.
This was even more unsettling than when Zhou Ran had been relentlessly pursuing him, chasing him like a ghost.
Xia Chengqian is a chosen one of heaven; he doesn't need any sympathy. We don't need to pity him.
He guessed why Zhou Ran married him, and this was further fueled by Zhou Ran's manipulative tactics.
Xia Chenggan's attempts to comfort himself were useless.
I'm starting to have serious self-doubt. Is he really that bad? Am I doing him a disservice?
Shaking off the strange thoughts that flashed through his mind, Xia Chenggan realized that his mindset had indeed been a bit off lately.
"Are you going to become a pervert?"
Zhou Ran kept staring at Xia Chenggan's face, and when she saw him contort for a moment, she went straight to the point and asked.
"Don't worry, I won't have the chance to become a pervert."
"That's good."
Zhou Ran spoke words of concern, but her eyes were fixed on Xia Chenggan's legs.
Xia Chenggan suspected that Zhou Ran knew something; could it be that his injuries were not serious?
That's impossible. The doctors at the base all said the recovery is going very well.
Could there be something wrong with the bullets? Or is there something wrong with the medication they used?
Smart people think a lot; they can deduce many things from just a glance.
He plans to go back and arrange for top doctors to give him a full check-up to see if there are any problems.
The ship quickly sailed away, and the islands gradually turned into black dots, the sky and water blending into one color, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Xia Cheng'an stood at the bow of the ship, gazing into the distance, lost in thought.
Gu Tingxiao walked over from behind, his arm in a sling.
He is weak and needs to recuperate for a while after returning home.
"What are you looking at?"
"I will never take a boat out to sea again."
Xia Chengan replied crisply, then turned and left.
Gu Tingxiao sighed; he didn't want to go to sea anymore.
He looked at his arm and decided to just let it heal.
Those who left didn't realize that they seemed to have forgotten one person.
Shen Shuyun, who was still waiting for verification, squatted on the bed with her legs drawn up to her chest, swaying her body back and forth, and did not stop even when someone called her.
"What's wrong? Has she been driven mad by torture?"
"Looking at the records is frightening; professional psychological counseling is needed."
"It's really pathetic. This awful place is no place for a human to live."
"Who says otherwise? Those damn foreigners!"
They were taken directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau by car after disembarking from the ship.
Zhou Ran looked at the national emblem on the Civil Affairs Bureau.
"Don't all CEOs have their staff bring their own things to work from home?"
Sitting in his wheelchair, Xia Chenggan rolled his eyes as he listened to Zhou Ran's rambling.
"Do you think a wealthy person can challenge the dignity of a nation?"
"Yes, that makes sense. No one can escape the control of the state apparatus."
Zhou Ran suddenly felt that Xia Chenggan was completely normal.
It's hard to believe that Young Master Xia, with such normal values, can be so unconventional at times.
He turned out to be the world's biggest twisted villain.
Indeed, it's not just one thing that drives a person crazy; you have to go through several things before they finally go insane.
"What kind of look is that?"
"It's okay, are our clothes defective? I checked, and they said they need to be..."
Zhou Ran recounted everything she had found online.
It's no wonder he's nervous. He's been a bachelor for both his lives and has never been married. His fear of marriage outweighs his anticipation.
He has seen too many marriages, especially those of people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.
His parents and marriage were never positive words for him.
Even though he was the one who benefited from the marriage, he felt that marriage was more like a walled city.
Those inside know how much he suffers, and those outside know how difficult things are for him.
However, due to various reasons, they had no choice but to enter the besieged city, struggling desperately but trapped inside for their entire lives.
Are you nervous?
Noticing Zhou Ran's emotional fluctuations, Xia Chenggan asked in surprise.
Zhou Ran was unafraid to rescue them from the island alone, but she was afraid to enter the Civil Affairs Bureau.
"Don't you think it's terrifying to be tied to a stranger for life?"
Zhou Ran didn't hide his nervousness; he did regret his previous decision.
Why did I impulsively agree to marry Xia Chenggan?
There should be better ways; marriage isn't always necessary.
Xia Chenggan could see his regret. They were too similar; they would do the right thing with the least cost.
Xia Chenggan reached out and grabbed Zhou Ran's hand, holding it tightly to prevent him from escaping.
"Didn't you dream of marrying me? Why are you getting hesitant now? Let's go, everything is ready."
Faced with Xia Chenggan's teasing smile, Zhou Ran silently shook his hand back; she couldn't back down now.
"Let's go."
The two walked in hand in hand, smiling happily, looking every bit like a blissful young couple.
If Zhou Ran knew, she would definitely spit on him. How could they be a good match? How could they be happy? How could they look like a young couple?
They are a typical business marriage.
When you have money, some things go much more smoothly.
Once you arrive, you can get everything done; there's no need to queue for photos, and even the clothes are provided by someone.
After their marriage certificate was issued, some people distributed wedding candy to everyone who saw it.
Holding the large bouquet of roses brought by her secretary, Zhou Ran looked at Xia Chenggan.
What have you prepared?
"It was handled by the secretary; I don't know."
Xia Chenggan simply contacted his secretary, told him he was going to get his marriage certificate, and left the rest to the secretary.
"Madam, smile!"
Zhou Ran forced a professional smile before looking at Xia Chenggan.
Why weren't you holding the bouquet?
"I'm not available."
Xia Chenggan pointed to his leg, his eyes full of mischief.
"Why does he call me 'Madam'? I'm a man. From now on, call me by my name, or 'Young Master Zhou'."
"good."
Xia Chenggan should know when to stop. If Zhou Ran gets angry, it won't be good for their wedding day to be filled with trouble.
After putting away the marriage certificate, Zhou Ran received a transfer contract.
Seeing the island with its specific address written on it filled me with surprise.
Xia Chenggan is quite efficient; he got it done quickly.
"Once you sign your name, the island is yours."
Zhou Ran carefully reviewed the contract, found no problems, and signed her name with a smile.
Why does it matter who you marry?
Of course, you should find a rich person! Look at them, they got an island right after getting their marriage certificate.
"This is a gift of shares, and also some real estate, and..."
The lawyer smiled and put away the signed documents, then handed over the rest of the items from the bag.
Looking at the documents, which listed cars, houses, Xia's shares, and shares in other companies, it seemed to be Xia Chenggan's own businesses.
Zhou Ran was overwhelmed by the sheer number of pages.
Ask the lawyer, "How much will it cost in total?"
"In monetary terms, it's about 500 million, but the value of these shares will fluctuate, fluctuating by about 200 million."
"Holy crap! You're rich, you're really going all out? You're willing to give me this much?"
Zhou Ran thought she had made herself clear and that the two of them understood each other.
Their marriage was a sham; they will divorce later.
However, once these property agreements are signed, even if they are divorced, Xia Chenggan will not be able to get any of them back.
Without batting an eye, he gave hundreds of millions of dollars in assets to someone he'd only known for a little over a month. This guy must be burning money.
"Is it not enough? Or do you still not like it?"
Xia Chenggan raised an eyebrow. That domineering CEO aura wafted over him. What to do if it's a bit oily?
"Are you out of your mind? You should see a doctor."
Zhou Ran reached out and touched Xia Chenggan's forehead, seriously suspecting that he had been driven mad by the fever.
"This is the decorum that Mrs. Xia should have."
"He is indeed sick, and quite seriously so."
Zhou Ran was certain that Xia Chenggan was indeed ill.
The lawyer waited patiently, thinking the argument would drag on for a while.
He had seen similar domineering CEOs who got married in a flash before, and their wives would always say...
Are you trying to insult me with money? I love you as a person, not your money.
That's such a pretentious thing to say. If someone threw money at him, he'd be willing to call him "daddy."
Zhou Ran glanced at the lawyer standing silently to one side.
He picked up the pen and signed his name directly on all of them.
"So a simple signature will do the trick?"
"Yes, we'll go to the notary office to complete the transfer later."
Seeing his swift signing and professional explanation, the lawyer thought to himself, "Indeed, the person who can marry Xia Chengqian is no ordinary person."
"Come on, let me introduce you to my family."
"We've already met them, so let's just let it go this time."
Zhou Ran always felt awkward; their identities were different, and meeting the parents always felt awkward.
Xia Chengan forcibly took him to the car to meet his parents. With such a hefty appearance fee, how could he let him escape? Author's Note: Thank you to my mentor 9492239 (9492239) for your support! For more exciting content, please leave a message for this book on Liancheng Reading.
