Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from last time, Jiang Yinan suddenly told me about getting the marriage certificate.

Since I decided to get engaged to him, I knew that getting a marriage certificate was a matter of time. I had gotten one in my previous life, but I still couldn't understand why he suddenly brought it up. Even if I agreed, I was still in the mourning period, so it would take at least another month before I could talk about it.

"You can get it after the wedding. Even if you want to get it earlier, you haven't returned to the country yet. It will be more than half a month since you go back, and there is only half a month left until Master Fu's death anniversary. We can talk about it after this period of time." I smiled faintly and pulled out my finger, wrapped it in the palm of my hand and hid it, but he reached out his hand again, and fortunately this time he just put a Band-Aid on me.

"We'll talk about the certificate when we get back. I want to get a marriage certificate in Malaysia as well, so that our trip will not be in vain, right?"

“Malay marriage certificate?”

"Yes, because divorce is not allowed in Malaysia, having another child after returning home can be considered a good omen." He spoke the first two sentences slowly, as if deliberately reminding me.

All his demands were obvious. I didn't give him anything substantial, so I had to compensate him with status. I felt like I should really think so, but I couldn't say it because there was something stuck in my throat. So I changed my words and smiled awkwardly, "It's useless to have this. I can't use it when I return home. I'll just go back and get it..."

"I've already said it's just a good omen. Marriage also needs some sense of ceremony, right?" He said it calmly, but I always felt that he was angry and held my hand more tightly: "Shishi, I want it. You promised me everything before you came."

"If you like it, just take it." I compromised as soon as I finished speaking. I gritted my teeth, turned over and hugged him from the front. I felt relieved after doing it and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Then I'll ask them to pick a date and prepare the necessary information, and we'll go choose the right clothes, okay?"

Jiang Yinan seemed to have not expected that I would agree. All the depression on his face disappeared in an instant. He held my face with great surprise, as if he was afraid that he had heard it wrongly: "Really?"

"Of course." I hugged his back and rubbed it through his shirt: "I promise you, the two of us will never get divorced."

"Okay, but don't let others pick the date. I'll choose it myself. As for the wedding, if you're busy, I'll prepare it myself, including food tasting, dresses, souvenirs... Oh, and invitations. My handwriting is pretty good, right? I can write for the families close to me. Shishi, actually I want a Western-style wedding. I know my family will think Chinese style is more formal, but can the engagement ceremony be Western-style? We can follow family rules after we get married. I like children, so we can find a few children to be flower girls at our wedding and pray for a son soon." He said a series of things immediately, and his face gradually blushed.

"You're thinking about something so early..." I said, gently hitting him.

It would be better to say that I was embarrassed rather than shy. After all, my marriage to Gao Xinci and I is not just a matter between the two of us. When I talk about children, I think of my An An. I am going to lose him anyway. No matter in which life I was, I have never been a good mother. It might as well be that he did not come into this world. If something happens to me, he will not be alone and helpless in this world.

Jiang Yinan was still immersed in the wedding and didn't notice my abnormality: "Of course, besides, our family has been urging us to have children. You have been using your body to cover it up, but in fact, they probably can guess that we have never slept together..." He felt a little aggrieved when he said this. He put his arm around my waist and circled his fingers around my waist.

I reached out and pinched his lips, pouting them like sausages. He widened his eyes and laughed at me shyly. I made a "hush" gesture: "You promised me this, don't go back on your word. You have to give me time to prepare."

"So are you ready?"

"No." I turned my head away quickly, fiddling with the flowers on the table. After a long while, I muttered, "Don't think about it. I will be responsible for you. At most... it will only be two or three months."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." He half coaxed and half forced me to look at him.

I thought that I should pay something for what happened last night, and it wouldn't be good to have a future of just words. He probably thought so too, so he put his hands on my waist and slowly closed the distance between us. Seeing that I didn't resist, his face immediately turned pale, and his breathing and the rise and fall of his chest slowed down, as if he was drunk. I even wanted to see deep affection in his righteous eyes. I slowly leaned over and closed my eyes. I tilted my head and waited for him to get close. He touched my forehead and the tip of my nose, and my lips seemed to have a sense of it...

"Fu Xishi, open the door--" A resentful shout came from the door, with a long tail.

The situation suddenly became tense. My heart skipped a beat, not to mention Jiang Yinan. When I slowly moved out of his arms, he still maintained that posture, but his face was very ugly and pale. It didn't look like a kiss, but more like he was thinking about life with his head down: Who am I? Where am I? Why didn't I kill the man at the door earlier?

I patted Jiang Yinan's shoulder as if to comfort him, with the corners of my mouth twitching a little. Only Feng Shizhi would be so cruel as to "ruin the fun". And from my point of view... Actually, I don't know whether to call him a surveillance expert or a savior. I can only say: buddy, you can do it.

"Earlier or later..." Jiang Yinan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. After a while, he raised his head and did a Tai Chi start to calm himself. When he looked at me again, he was in his usual gentle state: "I've been interrupted by him many times. Now I find that I don't get angry unless it's a very important moment."

"Great, great..." I gave a thumbs up, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. After getting the affirmation, I turned around to open the door.

Feng Shizhi was still yelling at the door: "Fu Xishi - are you afraid of someone stealing your things? Why lock the door? This is not the main door. Isn't my room outside your door? Who are you guarding against? Are you guarding against me? Has our trust been in crisis so soon? Oh my God, you haven't gotten up yet, have you? You've already eaten breakfast and you've fallen asleep again. Is the purpose of getting up early so that you can have time to take a nap? Oh, what should I do if the sun shines on my butt? It's okay. We can put some sunscreen on our butts. The ultraviolet rays in Malaysia are still very strong. Pay attention to protection~ Tsk, no, why am I up and you haven't! I only slept for four hours! You are so cruel. Am I an 8848 titanium phone? Others charge for five minutes and talk for two hours, but I rest for four hours and work for twenty, right? I strongly demand a raise! Otherwise I will make a fuss!"

I opened the door and rolled my eyes at him, "Brother, where does your salary come from? You only have shares, okay? I buy the car and house, I pay for your food and clothing, and I reimburse you for lying down. You don't have any place to spend money, okay? Are you going to put your salary increase in the bank for having children? Besides, where are you working? You got up early voluntarily, how can I have a job if I'm slacking off! You can sleep when you need to and do whatever you need to do. I didn't stop you, and I even increased your salary. If you mention it again, you can bully me, okay?"

"Okay, then squat down." Feng Shizhi raised his eyebrows and laughed at me with the corner of his mouth.

"If you keep saying that, I will lie down and blackmail you, saying that you are bullying an ignorant girl." I said with a straight face in disgust.

Feng Shizhi's face was all smiles. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "You? An ignorant girl? You are a white-boned demon. Your mind is full of honeycombs." He ignored me and pushed my head away. He squeezed into the door and shook his head to lecture me, "You locked the door. I've never seen you be so particular at home."

"I am a girl after all. It is reasonable for me to lock the door when you, a grown man, are outside. What if I am sleeping and you break in? There is an aunt guarding the house." I took two quick steps to catch up with him. He sat on the small sofa on the side, so I sat cross-legged on the long sofa next to it. Seeing that he didn't take it seriously, I suddenly became very angry.

Every time he comes, he grabs the fish and chips I just bought downstairs. When asked, he always says that he doesn't eat junk food outside. If I buy something, he will definitely grab it from me, and he eats more than I do. Fortunately, I was prepared and always order two servings, so I haven't been so greedy all these years.

While eating, he said: "What are you afraid of? I'm your adopted husband, and I..."

"Cough cough!"

I was interrupted again as I was talking. Feng Shizhi was really quick-witted and I didn't stop him! What's up now? Jiang Yinan came out of the kitchen with freshly cut fruit in his hand and placed it on the small table in front of me. When he put it down, there was a "thump" sound, and his eyes were still staring at Feng Shizhi's direction.

"Oh, the vixen is here." Feng Shizhi said indifferently.

"You are a fox..."

"Alright, alright, stop arguing! Stop arguing, my head hurts." I kept stopping him, covering my head, and put on a perfect professional perfunctory smile, pointing at Jiang Yinan on the left and Feng Shizhi on the right: "The vixen is praising you for your good looks, and the surveillance guy is praising you for your good eyesight and keen observation, OK?"

"You really are a master of keeping things balanced." Feng Shizhi couldn't help laughing and rolled his eyes at me and Jiang Yinan at the same time.

"I've told you not to count on me to mediate a fight. I'm not good at talking and always try to smooth things over. If you want to have a fight, go where I can't see you. And don't tell me." I waved my hands to both sides.

Jiang Yinan listened to me and sat down next to me. He hugged me and fed me an apple. I smiled awkwardly and took it. He was satisfied and turned back to Feng Shizhi and asked impatiently, "So what are you doing here?"

"Looking for trouble." Feng Shizhi sneered.

"What are you picking?"

"Pick your business."

"You come again." Jiang Yinan leaned against the sofa irritably, banging the cup loudly while drinking water. Still angry, he shook me awkwardly, like he was acting like a spoiled child.

I continued to comfort both sides. Why do I feel like I have auditory hallucinations every time I see this kind of scene? It seems like someone is grinning and saying in my ear: Husband, say something!

I shook my head to get rid of the terrifying sound, and turned to Feng Shizhi: "What's the matter?"

"It's a problem with Ruiyi's accounts." He took a sip of water and said calmly, "I just flipped through it when I was free, and found that there are many places with unnamed expenditures, or the reasons for expenditures are written very vaguely, and the amounts are not small, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions. In less than a day, all the money will be replenished, so if you don't look at the results carefully, you can't see anything. But at the same time, our Ruiyi is in charge of real estate, and many projects are linked to the government. Can the money be moved casually?"

"So? Who took the money?" I knew the situation was serious but I was still confused until he glanced at Jiang Yinan and nodded.

"I'm asking you, you're in finance."

"I paid the remaining money, but I was not the one who took the money." Jiang Yinan said calmly while sitting upright, even with a smile on his face.

"Who is that?"

"Someone you can't afford to offend."

"Who can't afford to offend?" Feng Shizhi raised his eyebrows and tilted his head towards me: "It's always here, could it be that she spent it?"

"I didn't!" My hand was shaking and leaving an afterimage.

"So who is it? A government official?" Feng Shizhi seemed to be sure of victory, leaning on his wrist and waiting.

Jiang Yinan remained calm and peeled an apple. After it was clean, he handed it to me and said indifferently, "My mother, Madam Lin."

Feng Shizhi's smile faded, he looked at me with resentment and then resigned himself to his fate: "Oh, then I really can't afford to offend you."

But I really didn't know the whole story! Jiang Yinan was confused when he said that. After the Chen family incident, I hadn't contacted Aunt Lin for a long time. I only took Nian Nian and Jiang Yinan back to see her during festivals or on my brother's death anniversary to keep public opinion stable. Every time, she was like a robot. She didn't ask me and didn't say anything. Gradually, both sides reached a consensus and just exchanged pleasantries.

Although I was cold to her, I had prepared enough food, clothing, a car and a house for her, so she had never been lacking. I also sent her a fixed amount of money every month. Nian Nian's health was taken care of by the Hou family. As for Nanxing, no one had ever been able to contact him. William also said that he gave Nanxing a large sum of money before he left, enough for him to live for the rest of his life. So where else would Aunt Lin need so much money?

"She said that she wanted to save up some dowry for Nian Nian. After all, Nian Nian is marrying into a Hou family, which is a very high class family. She's afraid that she'll be bullied if the dowry isn't big." Jiang Yinan hugged me and whispered.

"Didn't I prepare a dowry for Nian Nian? It was all sent to the Hou family. I also included the Hou family's betrothal gift in it, so it's not a small amount." I said helplessly.

"She herself feels that it is not enough. This matter started from the day the Hou family came to propose marriage. She comes about once every two weeks. In total, she didn't actually take much money, probably about 30 or 40 million." Jiang Yinan shrugged.

"She took Shishi's money and let Shishi take such a big risk to save up a dowry for her daughter. She really picked a soft persimmon to squeeze. From the beginning to the end, she didn't understand that Shishi is her daughter's greatest confidence." Feng Shizhi said coldly.

I didn't really care about these. I could understand why she was afraid that I would bear a grudge and go to harm her daughter. If I had known who it was, I wouldn't have been angry with her. Instead, I felt it was a little ridiculous and felt sorry for Xiangyang. Who was bullying whom? Nian Nian's temper didn't subside at all. She was so angry with Xiangyang that she jumped up and down every other day. She had to apologize when she went home at night: Princess, I was wrong. Please put down my scalpel.

Nian Nian: How dare you! Call me Queen!

Xiangyang: Good Queen.

Nian Nian: It’s Her Majesty the Queen!

Xiangyang: Yes, Your Majesty.

The most collectible scalpel passed down by Grandpa Hou was kept as a "knife" when he had nothing to do. Xiangyang treasured it very much at first, but after a long time, he wanted to bury the knife to prevent the Queen from using it as a threat to ask him for this and that. If she didn't get what she wanted, she would stay up all night and go out without shoes or socks, which made Xiangyang, a health fanatic, grimaced and wanted to cry. Whenever the little ancestor caught a cold and got sick, she would still scratch his ears!

After thinking about it, I decided to let it go. As long as Xiangyang and Nian Nian live well, it doesn't matter what happens. If she wants to spend money, let her spend it. At most, I can find another place to get the money. And even if it's for the sake of her own daughter's well-being, she won't kill me.
