After a flash marriage, the abstinent president dotes on his wife

Xing Nian smiled and drove Jiang Shiyi to his apartment in the city center.

After arriving, she suddenly realized something and turned to ask, "Where's your luggage?"

"I'm in a hurry to find you, so I don't have time to bring luggage." Jiang Shiyi's eyes flickered, and he seemed a little guilty.

Xing Nian looked at him and said bluntly: "Brother, you didn't come here just to see me, did you? There must be something else."

"No, I just felt a little guilty for not sending you off last time, so I came to see you specially." Jiang Shiyi tried to cover up.

"Guilt? Senior Brother, do you dare to look me in the eyes and say that everything you said is true?" Xing Nian looked straight at him, distrust in his eyes.

Jiang Shiyi's heart tightened and his brain started working quickly, thinking about how to resolve this embarrassing situation.

Xing Nian sat on the sofa, staring at Jiang Shiyi, and said seriously: "Brother, you have to tell me honestly, what are you doing here? If you don't tell me, I will call the two masters directly."

Jiang Shiyi struggled internally and wanted to make up an excuse, but seeing Xing Nian's insistence on getting to the bottom of it, he had no choice but to confess: "I'm here to collect a debt."

"Brother, your reason is too unconvincing. Aren't all your debts at the border? How come they suddenly came to the inland?" Xing Nian obviously didn't believe it.

Jiang Shiyi smiled bitterly: "You asked me to tell the truth, but you didn't believe me. So what do you want?"

Xing Nian stared at Jiang Shiyi to make sure he was not lying. She asked, "Who are you going to collect the debt from this time?"

Xing Nian picked up the water cup on the table and was about to drink. At this time, Jiang Shiyi replied, "Xiao Mingheng from the Xiao family in Hai City."

"Puff!" The water that Xing Nian had just taken into his mouth sprayed out instantly.

"Junior sister, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Shiyi quickly handed her a tissue.

"You seemed to want to vomit in the car just now, and now you are like this again. Could it be..." Before Jiang Shiyi could finish his words, Xing Nian interrupted him.

"Don't let your imagination run wild!" Xing Nian wiped his mouth and pointed at Jiang Shiyi and said, "Forget all the nonsense in your mind."

Jiang Shiyi looked disappointed. "Ah, isn't it? Junior Sister, it's just the Xiao family in Hai City. Why are you reacting so strongly? Do you know them?"

"I don't know him," Xing Nian said calmly, "but the Xiao family once saved my life."

"What? Tell me what's going on?" Jiang Shiyi asked Xing Nian anxiously.

Xing Nian told Jiang Shiyi that Xiao Jingyan, the eldest son of the Xiao family, had saved her.

"I originally wanted to pay you a visit to express my gratitude after I recovered from my injury. But then you called and said that the two masters were coming to kill us, so I had no choice but to return to the border with Mu Huaichen first."

“As for what you said, Xiao Mingheng should be the second master of the Xiao family and Xiao Jingyan’s second uncle.”

"But, Senior Brother, are you sure you are not mistaken? The Xiao family in Hai City is a military family. All men in the Xiao family will join the army after they reach adulthood. However, the second master of the Xiao family, Xiao Mingheng, did not join the army because of his weak health since childhood. He became the only man in the Xiao family who did not join the army. How could such a family allow their descendants to go out and gamble?"

"How would I know? The person who came to borrow money did say he was Xiao Mingheng. He even produced evidence that he was a member of the Xiao family."

Xing Nian frowned, obviously not quite believing it.

"Since you know something about the Xiao family, I have a photo here that was taken from the gambling house's surveillance camera. See if it's Xiao Mingheng." Jiang Shiyi said as he handed over the photo.

Xing Nian took the photo and saw that the man had a haggard face, showed signs of indulgence, had a cunning look in his eyes, and did not look like a young man from a wealthy family at all.

"I have never met the Xiao family. They are known for being low-key, especially the second master of the Xiao family, who is even more mysterious. If the person in the photo is really Xiao Mingheng, it is really unbelievable."

Jiang Shiyi took back the photo and said in a deep voice: "The Xiao family is a noble family. Who dares to act in their name? Isn't this courting death?"

"Junior sister, you have to go to the Xiao family to thank them for saving you anyway. Why don't you go and see what Xiao Mingheng looks like? Anyway, I can collect the debt in a day or two."

"Okay, I'll go ask Mu Huaichen if he has time recently." Xing Nian agreed.

Xing Nian stood up and called Mu Huaichen. At the same time, Jiang Shiyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with an expression of having escaped by luck appearing on his face.

After the call ended, Xing Nian turned to Jiang Shiyi and said, "I'm free the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, I see." Jiang Shiyi responded.

Xing Nian walked up to Jiang Shiyi and asked, "Brother, why did you have that expression just now?"

Jiang Shiyi pretended to be innocent and blinked: "Junior sister, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Xing Nian said bluntly: "I saw it clearly through the glass just now. Are you hiding something from me? You came here in a hurry and didn't even bring your luggage. If you want to collect the debt, you can go directly to the Xiao family. Why come to my place first?"

Jiang Shiyi was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead. He quickly waved his hands and explained, "I just missed you too much, so I came to see you first. Otherwise, how would I know that you have this relationship with the Xiao family."

Xing Nian approached slowly, and Jiang Shiyi was so nervous that his toes gripped the ground tightly.

"Forget it, senior brother. I don't care about your real purpose, but remember, this is not the border. You must abide by the law and be careful in your words and actions." Xing Nian reminded.

Although Xing Nian guessed that Jiang Shiyi must have other purposes, she chose to respect him when she saw that he was unwilling to say more. After all, if he needed her, he would naturally look for her. By then, wouldn't everything be known?

After confirming that Jiang Shiyi had no needs during his stay in Kyoto, Xing Nian gave him a few more instructions and then left.

That night, when Mu Huaichen returned home, he saw Xing Nian leaning leisurely on the sofa reading a book.

"You're back." Seeing this, Xing Nian immediately put down the book in his hand and walked forward.

"Why are you so early today? Have you dealt with all the company's affairs?"

"About that. I heard you say you were going to the Xiao family during the day, and it seemed like you were in a hurry." Mu Huaichen answered while taking off his suit jacket.

"I'm not in a hurry. I was planning to wait until you were done with your work before going together. But my senior brother suddenly came to visit."

Mu Huaichen frowned slightly, "You've only been back for a few days, could it be that the masters asked him to come find you?"

"No, Senior Brother has something else to do." Xing Nian explained.

"Oh, by the way, husband, we are going to visit the Xiao family the day after tomorrow. Is there anything we need to pay attention to? I remember you said that the Xiao family is a military family with a strict family tradition." Xing Nian seemed a little worried.

Mu Huaichen gently touched Xing Nian's head and said, "Don't worry. Although the Xiao family has a strict family tradition, they are still very easygoing towards outsiders."

"Have you met all the elders of the Xiao family?"

"of course."

Mu Huaichen turned and gently stroked Xing Nian's cheek, "Looking at you, you don't have a fever, why do you seem so nervous? I just went to say thank you, I'm here."

Xing Nian slapped his hand away, "I'm not nervous, I'm just curious. You mentioned before that Xiao Mingheng, the second master of the Xiao family, did not join the army due to health reasons. What does he look like?"

Mu Huaichen pondered for a moment, "Second Master Xiao is different from other elders in the Xiao family. He gives people a gentle and approachable feeling. However, that was when I was very young. Later, he went abroad for recuperation, so I don't know much about him."

After hearing the description, Xing Nian became more certain that the man in Jiang Shiyi's photo was definitely not Xiao Mingheng.

Seeing Xing Nian deep in thought, Mu Huaichen suddenly turned her around and gave her a deep kiss, interrupting her thoughts.

"Niannian, why are you suddenly so interested in Master Xiao?" Mu Huaichen asked jokingly.

"Don't think too much. I'm just asking because I'm not sure about something." Xing Nian retorted with a red face.

"Anyway, we'll find out when we go to the Xiao family the day after tomorrow."

Mu Huaichen looked confused, as if he didn't fully understand what Xing Nian meant.
