Chapter 231 Getting Married

The president's office of Cloud Shield Group is always quiet. Apart from the sound of keyboards and the mechanical sound of the printer, there is almost no other sound.

The silence was broken by a hurried voice.

"I'm looking for He Tingzhou!"

The secretary immediately stood up from his seat and tried to stop him: "Sorry, President He is talking to the vice president, you..."

"What are you talking about! His wife will run away if you continue talking!" Yue Zifeng rushed past the secretary's defense and pushed open the office door.

Several executives who were discussing business turned around at the same time, their faces full of shock.

He Tingzhou sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, his left hand on his temple, without even raising his eyelids: "Want to try out our company's security? We're in need of a target to practice on."

Yue Zifeng stood there and said, "My sister is leaving. She's going back to California and she won't be coming back."

He Tingzhou still looked indifferent, writing on the document with a pen in his hand: "Your acting skills are not as good as Xu Zhen's. If you are bored, let him give you extra lessons. It's free."

"You don't believe it?" Yue Zifeng said, "Aunt Fu and Uncle Shen know about your affair. They have lived an upright life. Who would have thought that they would have to rely on their daughter to sell her body to save themselves when they are old? They really can't accept it. Uncle Shen was so angry that his blood pressure was high. Aunt Fu slapped her in the face, and Shen Yu asked her to go back to California for a while to relax."

"She doesn't want to leave, but no one in the country wants her to stay, and you've hurt her heart. She just went to your house to get her passport. If you don't believe me, ask yourself."

He Tingzhou raised his eyelids when he was halfway through his words and stared at him with cold eyes.

Yue Zifeng glanced at his watch: "The flight is at twelve o'clock, Shen Yu has already sent her to the airport."

He Tingzhou stared at him with a cold and sharp gaze. Yue Zifeng sighed, "Poor sister, what she fears most is being sent away."

He Tingzhou picked up the phone and dialed the number of Shuangxu. It was Xiao Liao who answered.

He Tingzhou asked, "Where is she?"

Xiao Liao said: "The boss left without her phone. She said she was going home to get her passport."

Before he could finish his words, He Tingzhou had already put down the documents and stood up.

Yue Zifeng said: "Forget it, don't chase her anymore. This disobedient woman needs to be taught a lesson..."

As he spoke, He Tingzhou had already walked in front of him. He jumped aside nimbly and crossed his arms in front of him defensively.

He Tingzhou ignored him and walked past him with a swift step, then opened the door and walked out.

He knew that this was most likely a trap set by Yue Zifeng, and Shuang Xu would not leave without saying goodbye, but he still wanted to find her immediately.

The supercar drove out of Yundun's underground parking lot and sped along the street lined with high-rise buildings.

He Tingzhou gripped the steering wheel, thinking about the nights she spent by his side, every story she told him, and every song she hummed for him.

It was the bowl of noodles without salt that she made, the kiss she placed on his forehead when she washed his hair.

It was she who held his hand and said, I want to have a long, long future with you.

A white sports car passed by him in the opposite lane. He Tingzhou looked in the rearview mirror, turned the steering wheel sharply to the left at the next intersection, and slid back around a bend.

Shuang Xu saw He Tingzhou's car. She was afraid of missing it again, so she wanted to call him. She took out her cell phone from her bag, but the moment she touched it, she felt something was wrong.

She took out her cell phone and pressed the unlock button, but there was no response.

It was a mockup of the same model as her phone - which had been swapped.

She had made a phone call while at the company, so the only suspect who could have swapped her phone was Xiao Liao, who had entered her office.

What are you doing?

She pulled over hastily, dumped her car on the side of the road and ran back.

Her high heels stepped on the asphalt road and the wind blew her hair. She didn't know whether He Tingzhou saw her or not, but she instinctively ran towards the intersection, trying to catch up with him before the green light came on.

The black Koenigsegg turned around with a sharp friction sound, and the car stopped with a squeak in front of it. The driver's door opened and He Tingzhou got out.

She shouted, "He Tingzhou!"

He strode towards her with big strides, and Shuang Xu ran over and threw herself into his arms.

He Tingzhou caught her. Her breath was still rising and falling from running and she hadn't even caught her breath yet. He held her neck and his hot breath fell on her lips.

She put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the street at noon.

People passing by on the street turned their heads and stared at them, but they were completely oblivious. At that moment, they could no longer care about anyone else except each other.

All the differences and suppressed emotions during this period of time were dissolved in this long-lost kiss. Shuangxu's heart was pounding. He Tingzhou's voice was slightly hoarse. He hugged her tightly and said, "I admit defeat, okay? Song Shuangxu, I can't beat you in this game of chess. I admit defeat."

All his grudges and unresolved knots were not even one ten-thousandth of hers. He had never bowed his head to anyone in his life, but in front of her, he had no chance of winning at all.

What a bullshit balance, screw it all.

"I won't force you to make a choice. You can choose whichever way your scales tilt. If Shen Yu is heavier than me, then I will slide towards you." He Tingzhou said, "If you want me to coexist peacefully with him, then I will coexist peacefully with him. It doesn't matter what he wants. I just want you to see me with your eyes."

Shuang Xu was speechless with what he wanted to say. Thousands of words lingered in his heart, and finally condensed into three words: "Get married?"

He Tingzhou's eyes paused slightly.

She took out the household registration booklet and the ring box from her pocket. "I don't know how else to prove that you are different from my brother. He is a part of my past, but we still have 2,588 years of future together. Have you forgotten? I want you to know that he will never be an obstacle between us. No one will be."

"If this is a chess game, there are only you and me on the board. Either we both lose or we both win. There is no other outcome."

He Tingzhou's Adam's apple twitched, his eyes darkened: "Are you serious?"

Shuang Xu smiled at him.

Her eyes were short and round, with a slightly curved shape, just like the day He Tingzhou first saw her, clear and vivid, without any impurities.

She took his hand and said, "He Tingzhou, today is November 15th, let's get married."

After getting off the car at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Shuang Xu took He Tingzhou's hand and walked up the stone steps in front of the door. He stopped in front of the last step.

She turned around and saw He Tingzhou standing there looking at her: "It's not too late for you to regret now."

"Really?" She turned and walked downstairs, "Then let's go back."

He Tingzhou dragged her back and held her wrist tightly, "It's fake. Unless the Civil Affairs Bureau is struck by lightning and collapses today, you can't escape."

"Today the weather is sunny and cloudless. It won't rain or thunder. The Civil Affairs Bureau won't collapse, but we will be closed." Shuang Xu pulled him up, "Let's go."

It was almost noon. The employee at the marriage registration office finished stamping the last document of the morning, glanced at the wall clock, yawned, and calculated how long it would take for lunch.

Her yawn was reaching its peak, her mouth opened to the limit of the human body and sleepiness, and at this moment, a tall figure walked into her squinting field of vision.

Just the vague outline was enough to tremble her soul, and she quickly closed her bloody mouth.

The handsome guy was wearing a black coat. His shoulders, waist and long legs made him look like he came out of a comic book. He threw two household registration books on the table.

At the same time, there were two more words left: "Marriage."

The registrar's eyes slid across his overly handsome features, followed by the tightly clasped hand in his, and moved to the woman beside him.

What a beautiful face.

The woman was much more polite and said in a nicer voice: "Hello, we are here to get married."

The registrar thought, "What's the use of being good-looking? Once they fall in love, they will become fools. This is the marriage registration office. Everyone who comes here wants to get married."

She took out two "Marriage Registration Application Forms" and said, "Fill it out and take a photo in the left room."

It was the last couple in the morning. The staff at the service counter was idle and completed the entire process in just a few minutes.

After the last stamp was completed, the woman took the two marriage certificates and placed a box of candy in front of her with a smile: "Thank you."

The staff was infected by that smile and said, "Happy wedding."

Airport, first class lounge.

The waiting room was carpeted and the staff spoke softly, reminding him that he could board the plane.

Shen Yu stood up, hung his coat on his arm, and was about to walk towards the boarding passage when he was stopped by a voice. He turned around.

Shuang Xu and He Tingzhou stood side by side opposite each other, their hands clasped together.

Shen Yu didn't seem surprised by their appearance: "I'm going to California on a business trip. Can you see me off?"

"I heard someone was waiting for me at the airport, but I didn't expect it was you. Now that I'm here, I might as well say goodbye to you." He Tingzhou held Shuang Xu with his right hand, raised his left hand from his coat pocket, and waved at him slowly.

——Holding a bright red notebook in his hand.

Shen Yu's eyes fell on it. He seemed to realize that there was something on his hand. He said in a non-apologetic tone: "Sorry, I just wrote it. The ink hasn't dried yet. It's a bit sticky."

“…”

Shuang Xu pressed his hand down and said to Shen Yu, "Brother, we are married."

I didn't tell him before making this decision, I should have let him know after it was done.

Shen Yu thought they would reconcile, but he didn't expect it to be this way.

The fingers holding up his coat curled up involuntarily. He looked at her with a calm gaze for a long time, and finally smiled faintly.

"Xiaojiu, congratulations."

Shuang Xu narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother, thank you."

Shen Yu turned around and walked into the boarding passage. He Tingzhou's casual voice came from behind him: "Shen Yu."

He turned around.

He Tingzhou said, "Let's have a drink when you come back."

Office of the President of Cloud Shield Group.

Yue Zifeng was lying comfortably in the leather executive chair, his feet resting on the desk, a red wine glass dangling in his hand, and he instructed Xu Zhen who was standing beside him: "Go and call back those executives. I'll hold a meeting with them."

Xu Zhen: “…”

I have never liked to explain too much about the plot. I think everything is already written in the text, but there has been a lot of controversy recently and some readers have been led astray. I will still briefly share my thoughts.

Regarding the kidnapping part, this is the only way for Tingting to untie the knot in her heart, and it is also what Zheng Zuye will definitely do. Some people think that Xiaojiu is stupid for not realizing it. If we put aside the God's perspective, why would she connect Shu Yang's illness with Zheng Zuye? Regarding He's mother's experience, it came to this point when the outline was set. This is the cause of Tingting's character and the basis of the feud between him and Zheng Zuye. I understand everyone's rejection of this plot, and I tried to use the least amount of words to pass it over.

The relationship between Xiaojiu and Tingting has always been sweet, but there have always been problems. Shen Yu has always been a thunderbolt between them. Everyone finds Tingting's jealousy interesting, but in fact, he is a bit overbearing to Xiaojiu. Every time, Xiaojiu compromises, gives in, and coaxes him. The thunderbolt will always explode, and this problem needs to be solved. Everyone is angry that Xiaojiu chose her brother, but from her perspective, she has never made any choice. "She was discovered by her parents for doing body transactions, and her parents were furious and wanted to take her home." In this case, it is okay for her to go home, and it would be strange if she insisted on not going back. The sensitivity is only because this person is Shen Yu, but before Shen Yu liked Xiaojiu, he was first a guardian who raised her up, and he has the same status as parents to Xiaojiu. After Xiaojiu fell in love with Tingting, she was very determined. In fact, it was not Xiaojiu who could not get over the fact that her brother liked her, but us, the spectators. A small number of readers always hoped that she could draw a clear line with her brother, who was her relative and benefactor who raised her. Because she had to abandon her family because of love, my heroine would definitely not be such a love-minded person without self.

I understand everyone's feelings. I have always accepted discussions about the plot. This is everyone's right and freedom to read the text. What is more heartbreaking is that some people said in anger that Xiaojiu does not love Tingting at all and is not worthy of Tingting. Whether she loves Tingting or not is already shown in the first hundreds of thousands of words. Xiaojiu is very good and she and Tingting are a perfect match.

Since the post of "Excessively Wild" was published, there have been people who have been trying to stir up trouble, saying that there is a finished version out there and asking people to read it, or people who are trying to attract traffic to their own posts in the comments section. I usually turn a blind eye to it if it is not excessive. After it was listed on the Peak Chart, there have been many different voices, but the maliciousness I have received recently has exceeded my expectations, even rumors have been spread that "Deep Love Temptation" was plagiarized. This accusation is very serious for the author. If you have a palette, use the palette. If you don't have a palette, please control your mouth. I hope everyone can make their own judgments.

Some readers have advised me to ignore the comments and take a break before updating. I confidently said that I would not be affected. I overestimated myself. Haha. I have not taken a day off since I started writing. I want to take a break today. I am a little tired. There is only one chapter today. I will continue tomorrow. It will be finished soon. Please do not let reading affect your mood. The most important thing is to be happy.
