Chapter 115 Right Eye Twitching Disaster
Zhao Mobai's eyes showed disbelief and shock.
"Will you...marry me?"
Shen Shuangmiao looked directly into his eyes and nodded.
Zhao Mobai suddenly pursed his lips.
He never expected that she would actually choose to marry him at such a time.
Even if it's just in name only, it means she hasn't given up on him.
"Snowy Frost..."
Zhao Mobai's voice trembled, and a glimmer of light dispelled the lifelessness in his eyes. "Thank you, thank you so much."
He seemed to have rediscovered the motivation and meaning to live, his chest heaving violently.
"Don't worry." Zhao Mobai turned his head and looked at her intently.
His tone was firm, "I won't let myself sink anymore. For your sake, I will stand up again. I will handle the company's affairs well and won't let you lose face because of me."
At this moment, he seemed to have transformed back into the once spirited and ambitious CEO of the Zhao Group.
Although the road ahead was still full of thorns, there was already light in his eyes.
Seeing his renewed fighting spirit, Shen Shuangmiao breathed a slight sigh of relief.
At least this decision temporarily pulled someone back from the brink of disaster.
But deep down, she felt completely lost and didn't feel much joy.
...
The next day.
Zhao Mobai acted swiftly and decisively, officially announcing his marriage to Shen Shuangmiao through the group's official channels and some familiar media outlets.
They set the date for registering their marriage a week later, and the wedding would be held at a suitable time after they received their marriage certificate.
The news caused an uproar throughout the city!
The Zhao family had just suffered a crushing defeat and was in a precarious situation. Everyone thought that the eldest son of the Zhao family would be overwhelmed with troubles and would keep a low profile.
Unexpectedly, he did the opposite and announced his marriage in a high-profile manner, and it will happen next week.
"My God! Zhao Mobai and Shen Shuangmiao are getting married? Next week!"
"With the Zhao family in such a state, how dare he get married? Where does he get the confidence?"
"I heard that Shen Shuangmiao is now the daughter of the Su family. Could it be that the Su family is going to help the Zhao family?"
"I don't think so. Maybe it's a marriage to ward off bad luck? Haha!"
"This is going to be interesting! Zhu Jin just became his ex-wife's business partner, and she's already remarried. Tsk tsk..."
Various speculations and discussions arose.
Shen Shuangmiao's studio was instantly thrust into the spotlight.
"Congratulations, boss!"
"Oh my god! Boss, you're getting married! To President Zhao! This is so sudden!"
"Congratulations, boss! Wishing you and Mr. Zhao a long and happy marriage!"
The employees rushed over to offer their congratulations, their faces beaming with sincere blessings and excitement.
In their view, the boss has found someone he likes and is about to take over a big project, so his future looks bright.
Shen Shuangmiao stood in the center of the office, receiving congratulations from all directions, trying her best to maintain a polite smile and responding to each one.
"Thank you everyone, I'll send you red envelopes later."
Only she knew that she was not happy at all, only tired and a little lost.
This marriage was just a show put on for outsiders.
Fu Xuan didn't miss Shen Shuangmiao's absent-minded expression and sighed inwardly.
Just then, Shen Shuangmiao's phone rang; it was Zhou Wu.
Shen Shuangmiao walked to a relatively quiet corner and answered the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Wu's voice was very low.
"Shen Shuangmiao, you're going to marry Zhao Mobai? Next week? Really?"
Her tone was somewhat hurried, as if she was eager to confirm whether the news was true or false.
"It's true," Shen Shuangmiao admitted calmly.
Zhou Wu was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, then let out a soft, ambiguous laugh.
"Ha...that's really unexpected."
She said with a hint of regret, "I thought... Oh well, congratulations."
After saying that, she hung up the phone, seemingly unwilling to say anything more.
Shen Shuangmiao held her phone, and could imagine the expression on Zhou Wu's face at that moment.
Even Zhou Wu was surprised, which shows how abrupt the news was.
So what will Zhu Jin do next?
Shen Shuang seemed to be deep in thought.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and people kept coming to congratulate them.
However, to her dismay, two days passed without the expected storm arriving.
There was no response from Zhu Jin's side.
There were no questioning phone calls, no frantic harassment, not even a single text message.
He vanished from her world as if he had evaporated into thin air.
Shen Shuangmiao was momentarily unsettled.
This doesn't seem like Zhu Jin.
This is nothing like the obsessive Zhu Jin who would stop at nothing to keep her by his side.
Given his personality, how could he possibly remain calm after learning that she was going to marry Zhao Mobai?
He should be furious, he should rush to her at all costs and stop her by any means necessary.
They might even do something extreme again.
But there was nothing, absolutely nothing.
Shen Shuangmiao felt increasingly uncertain and couldn't help but seek out Fu Xuan.
She frowned, her tone tinged with anxiety.
"Fu Xuan, why don't you think he's reacting at all?"
Fu Xuan understood what was going on when he saw her fidgeting.
He poured her a glass of warm water and comforted her, "Don't overthink it. Maybe... he's figured it out and decided to let go?"
"Let go?" Shen Shuangmiao shook her head as if she had heard something unbelievable.
"Impossible. You know him. He's not the kind of person who would give up easily."
She paused, her eyes filled with confusion and unease.
"The quieter he was, the more I felt he might be brewing something, and that feeling was very unsettling."
Fu Xuan paused for a moment, also feeling that Zhu Jin's reaction was too abnormal.
But at this moment, all he could do was try his best to comfort her.
"Maybe he just needs time to process this news. After all, your marriage must be a big blow to him."
"Or perhaps he's currently busy dealing with the Zhu family's affairs and doesn't have time right now?"
Even Fu Xuan himself found these reasons somewhat far-fetched.
Given Zhu Jin's obsession with Shen Shuangmiao, he couldn't possibly be so busy as to not even make a single phone call.
Shen Shuangmiao closed her eyes and rubbed her throbbing temples.
She discovered that she hated the feeling of being out of control more than Zhu Jin's entanglement.
She originally thought that announcing her marriage would be a quick and decisive move to resolve the mess.
But now, the knife seems to be suspended in mid-air, and it's unclear when it will fall.
She could no longer see through Zhu Jin.
Not knowing what he's thinking is the most agonizing thing.
"Wonderful."
Zhao Mobai arrived at the studio on time to pick her up after get off work.
Shen Shuangmiao snapped out of her daze and realized that it was already evening outside, something she hadn't even noticed.
Zhao Mobai seems to have really cheered up a lot these past few days. Although the fatigue between his brows is still there, his clothes are now impeccable again, and his eyes have a bit more of the sharpness that belongs to a businessman.
He looked travel-worn; he must have been running around trying to save the company.
Shen Shuangmiao smiled and said, "I didn't even check the time. I thought I hadn't gotten off work yet. Let's go."
Zhao Mobai saw the worry in her eyes, frowned slightly, and the slight ease on his face instantly disappeared.
He got into the car, fastened his seatbelt, and smiled casually, but his tone was tense.
"He's still... not making a move?"
