Secret Marriage with the King 1
Tao Yuan opened his eyes and felt a little dizzy. This was because the original owner hadn't eaten or slept well for many days. He turned to look at the person driving next to him, then lowered his head and began to think.
"Awake?" He Yucheng knew that he hadn't had a good rest recently, so he fell asleep as soon as he got in the car. He just felt that he woke up a little too quickly.
Tao Yuan nodded, listening to He Yucheng's deep and magnetic voice, thinking that he was indeed a superstar. As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice alone could make a large number of people fall in love with him.
Tao Yuan felt that he was lucky in this life because as soon as he came into this world, his lover was by his side, and they had to do a very important thing, which was to register for marriage.
However, this marriage was not what the original owner wanted, nor was it what He Yucheng wanted. They just agreed to do it for an important person to see, and then divorce after two years. Because in this world, one must be married for two years before getting a divorce. Even if the marriage is unhappy, they can only separate first.
That important person was He Yucheng's grandmother. The original owner was a distant relative of He Yucheng's grandmother's. Orphaned and adopted at a young age, He Yucheng's grandmother was incredibly kind to the original owner, raising him like her own grandson. She always had a wish in her heart: that the original owner marry He Yucheng.
However, He Yucheng didn't like the original owner, and the original owner also had other people, so it was basically impossible for the two of them to be together. Although the grandmother felt regretful, she didn't force them to be together.
However, He Yucheng's grandmother was seriously ill. Because of her age, the doctor told them to be prepared to send her away at any time. However, the grandmother was still hanging on, enduring the pain of illness, which made He Yucheng and the original owner very heartbroken.
He Yucheng and the original owner both felt that their grandmother's final breath was held back by an unfulfilled wish. After discussing it, they decided to register their marriage to fulfill their grandmother's wish. They would then divorce after two years, freeing themselves from any responsibility towards each other.
He Yucheng was a top star in this country, and almost everyone knew him. If word of his sudden marriage got out, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation, with the news media expected to be buzzing for at least a month or two, with continued coverage. The original owner was a newcomer to the entertainment industry. Because of a scandal with another celebrity, he had already been severely criticized by that celebrity's fans. If it were suddenly revealed that he was marrying He Yucheng, a superstar, he would be at the center of the storm.
Although He Yucheng has always disliked fans interfering in his private life, he has warned fans many times many years ago to focus on his works and not to care about his personal love life. But he is a superstar after all. Even if most fans think that he has reached the age to get married, they all say that if he announces a relationship and marriage, they will definitely bless him, but these words are just for show. If the person he announces does not satisfy the fans, it will definitely cause a lot of public opinion. Even if the fans don't care, it will inevitably be a hot topic among netizens.
He Yucheng also agreed with the original owner that they would only register their marriage to reassure their grandmother, and that there would be no actual relationship between them. Neither of them wanted their marriage registration to be known to anyone else. So He Yucheng used his connections and had his assistant arrange for the two of them to register in secret, ensuring that no one else would know about it and that no one would leak it.
He Yucheng's car drove directly into the Marriage Administration Bureau, then went around to the underground parking lot at the back. The two men put on sunglasses, got out of the car, and went directly to the top floor from the leadership elevator.
After quickly completing the registration and getting their marriage ID cards, the two rushed back to the hospital.
He Yucheng was not only a top star, but also a successful businessman. He owned many businesses, though few people knew about them. His grandmother naturally lived in the highest-end VIP ward, which was like a small villa with a small garden. The environment was particularly good, and doctors and nurses worked in shifts around the clock.
As soon as he entered the room, Tao Yuan walked quietly to the bedside. Seeing that his grandmother was awake, he sat down on the sofa beside the bed, held her hand and said, "Grandma, I have good news to tell you today."
Grandma looked dazed, and although her eyes were half open, no one knew whether she could understand what others were saying.
"Look." Tao Yuan took out his newly acquired marriage ID card, which had his and He Yucheng's portraits on it. "I'm married to Brother Yucheng. When I was little, didn't you say that you hoped I would marry Brother Yucheng in the future because we would be the closest people in the world and be able to take care of each other?"
There was suddenly a little light in my grandmother's dim eyes, and her mouth moved as if she wanted to say something.
Tao Yuan held her hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yucheng and I will take care of each other in the future. We will treat each other better than anyone else. You don't have to worry about us. We will definitely live a good and happy life."
He Yucheng stood behind Tao Yuan, looking at his grandmother's current state, feeling very depressed. His parents were busy with work and rarely had time to take care of him. He was basically raised by his grandmother. Later, his parents died in an accident, and his grandmother became his only relative in the world. Later, he entered the entertainment industry and worked hard. A few years later, his grandmother adopted the original owner. He was focused on developing his various careers and was too busy to take time out to accompany his grandmother.
He Yucheng was born cold and indifferent, but when faced with the impending death of his only relative, he still felt regretful and very guilty.
In fact, their grandmother had been confused for a year, unable to remember anything about the present. Every day, she would talk about He Yucheng's childhood or the original owner's childhood. Later, she couldn't even remember their own childhoods, only her own, and her memory was often confused. Now, she can no longer speak and can hardly hear what others say.
So the glimmer that suddenly appeared in her eyes was actually a last gasp of energy. She opened her mouth with all her might and said, "Okay, okay, yes, you all, want to..."
"Grandma, don't worry, we will all be fine." Tao Yuan assured seriously.
In fact, their grandmother didn't want them to get married, she just hoped that they could take care of each other in the future. She was worried that the original owner was too soft and would be bullied, and she was also worried that He Yucheng was too cold and hard, and no one would be able to enter his heart and make him feel warm, so she was always worried about them.
When Tao Yuan told her that he and He Yucheng were married, she suddenly woke up for a few minutes, mainly because of a flash of inspiration. She knew that they must have deliberately married her to make her feel at ease. Although she felt that they didn't need to do this, she also felt that this might be an opportunity for them. Because no matter what the result was, at least the two of them tried to be together. Even if they didn't end up together, it only meant that they were not meant to be together and couldn't force it.
……………………………………
Two days later, the two of them completed their grandmother's funeral. Since there were no other relatives in their family, and their grandmother had long ago instructed them not to make a lavish funeral, but to send her off simply and quietly without having irrelevant people come to see her off.
He Yucheng escorted Tao Yuan back to their suburban villa. This was where the original owner and his grandmother had always lived. Later, when the original owner graduated and entered the entertainment industry, he stayed with his grandmother, though the commute to the city took time and was a bit tiring. Now that his grandmother was gone, Tao Yuan didn't need to live here anymore. He would pack up his things in the next couple of days and move to a luxury apartment in the city.
All of his grandmother's property was left to the original owner, so Tao Yuan was not short of money. What He Yucheng lacked the least now was money. No matter what, Tao Yuan was now his legal partner, and he could afford to support Tao Yuan no matter how luxurious his life was.
As soon as they returned to the villa, they went back to their rooms to sleep. He Yucheng slept until noon and then went to the study to do some work on the computer. Tao Yuan didn't get up until the afternoon, then went to the kitchen to cook dinner. After finishing it, he went to the study and knocked on the door to call He Yucheng.
After He Yucheng sat down, he looked at the dishes on the table. There were a few that he used to love to eat. The only person who knew that he loved these dishes was his grandmother.
"Did your grandmother teach you how to cook these dishes?" He Yucheng asked.
"Yes, in the past, when I had nothing to do, I loved to learn cooking from my grandmother. My grandmother said that these are your favorite dishes. If she were gone, she would ask me to cook them for you occasionally."
He Yucheng was silent for a while, then he picked up a piece of kidney and took a bite. It tasted the same as he remembered.
As the two of them ate in silence, He Yucheng suddenly realized that his grandmother wanted him to be with the original owner because she wanted someone to take care of him. He had always thought that she wanted them to be together because she wanted him to take care of the original owner. He believed that there were many ways to care for someone, and that being together was not the worst option. But now he suddenly understood that his grandmother actually wanted them to take care of each other.
After they had almost finished eating, He Yucheng put down his chopsticks, looked at Tao Yuan and said, "I will help you solve those problems. Even if you refuse again, I will not ignore you. I actually promised my grandmother to take care of you, and I will definitely do it."
The original owner had recently been scolded by fans because of a scandal with a top male star, and the male star had bribed the media to spread widespread negative information about her. Moreover, the male star was the person the original owner liked.
He Yucheng had already semi-retired, having been busy managing the company for the past few years. After learning about what had happened to the original owner, he personally contacted him and asked if he could help resolve the situation. However, the original owner declined, as he didn't really want to rely on He Yucheng, nor did he want to owe him a favor. He wanted to solve the problem on his own. He felt that as long as he performed well enough, he would surely gain everyone's approval.
After all, the original owner was still young, with a relatively simple personality, and had just entered the entertainment industry. He hadn't seen through the dark side and the sinister nature of human nature. So he didn't realize how foolish it was for him to refuse He Yucheng's help.
"Can you solve this matter the way I want?" Tao Yuan asked.
"How do you want to solve it?"
"Actually, there's someone else with Xu Mo. I'm just a shield he used. I'd like you to help me collect evidence first, and then make it public when the time is right."
"Okay, but I hope the time you're talking about won't be too long. I'll give you half a year at most."
Tao Yuan nodded, then said, "There's one more thing I hope you can promise me."
"What is it?"
"I'm going to participate in Almighty Idol. Can you..." Tao Yuan paused for a moment and said, "Can you be a judge?"
Although He Yucheng has semi-retired from the entertainment industry, his status is still there. If he were to be a judge, the organizers of Almighty Idol would be very happy to agree.
He Yucheng looked at Tao Yuan and didn't answer him immediately.
