After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 31.1

A surge of anger flared up in Fu Yunhan’s heart.

He thought that Xia Shishi’s sudden acceptance of the engagement was just for fun. But judging by the way she was smiling and talking to Wen Jiao, where was the sense of playfulness?

Xia Shishi looked at Wen Jiao, her eyes clear and bright.

Her lips, glossed with lip colour, curved slightly upwards, as luscious as flower petals touched with dew.

Wen Jiao raised her hand to rub Xia Shishi’s ear, and Xia Shishi caught her hand and rubbed it against her cheek. Their intimate gestures would make it impossible for anyone to believe there was nothing between them.

Wen Jiao cast her gaze past Xia Shishi’s side.

Seeing the furious Fu Yunhan standing at the doorway, her eyes instantly darkened.

She was certain about what Fu Yunhan’s expression represented.

Wen Jiao then looked at the oblivious Xia Shishi, and her heart settled. She smiled weakly at Fu Yunhan and said, “Did you come specifically to usher us in?”

Fu Yunhan stared, unable to speak.

Xia Shishi turned around and, seeing Fu Yunhan watching from the doorway, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

Her wife already disliked contact with people, and just as she was finally willing to touch her voluntarily, Fu Yunhan had to interrupt!

She twitched her mouth, wanting to shoo the annoying guy away.

However, Wen Jiao slipped her hand into Xia Shishi’s palm at that moment and smiled faintly at Fu Yunhan, “Have you been waiting long?”

Wen Jiao looked up, “Shishi, I’ll still have to trouble you to push me inside.”

Xia Shishi quickly responded, “It’s no trouble! I am happy to be hands-on with my wife’s affairs. How can I call it trouble? I wish I could do more for you.”

Fu Yunhan watched them exchange smiles.

They looked very much in sync.

Gritting his teeth, he said, “Shishi, you haven’t been to my house in so long, I was worried you’d forgotten the way. Come in quickly, my parents have been waiting for you for a long time.”

Fu Yunhan walked over, intending to be a gentleman and offer to push the wheelchair.

Xia Shishi immediately pushed the wheelchair several meters away, quickly avoiding him.

If she wasn’t concerned about Wen Jiao being uncomfortable, she could have run even farther.

Xia Shishi looked at Fu Yunhan very seriously, “I understand that Uncle and Aunt specially waited for me, but I don’t think I’ve acknowledged them as my godparents, have I? Speaking like that can easily lead to misunderstandings.”

Fu Yunhan stood awkwardly in place. He clenched his teeth, retracted his hand into a fist.

Xia Shishi really wouldn’t spare anyone’s feelings. He hadn’t seen Xia Shishi in a long time and had forgotten how infuriating she could be!

The anger was so intense that Fu Yunhan didn’t have time to dwell on other matters and just wanted to get straight to the point.

“Go in quickly, don’t keep them waiting too long.”

Xia Shishi persisted, “Are Uncle and Aunt so busy? Then why not reschedule for another day?”

Fu Yunhan took a deep breath, “They are also eager to meet your fiancée. My parents have long treated you like a semi-daughter. Since your engagement, they’ve been constantly nagging about how you haven’t brought the person over for them to see.”

Xia Shishi blinked, “Didn’t they attend the engagement banquet?”

Fu Yunhan: “…”

“Alas, they must be too busy, indeed. But I can understand, and I certainly won’t blame them, after all, my engagement banquet was handled by my biological parents, so how could anything go wrong?”

Xia Shishi stood behind the wheelchair and leaned down to whisper in Wen Jiao’s ear, “Wife, let’s go in and take a look.”

“Uncle and Aunt are so looking forward to meeting you; they must want to make up for the gift they missed. We shouldn’t keep them waiting too long.”

Wen Jiao couldn’t help but chuckle, “Okay.”

She truly wouldn’t tolerate being wronged in the slightest. Wen Jiao lowered her eyes and smiled again.

Xia Shishi looked very proud, pushing Wen Jiao towards the house with her head held high.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

Treating her like a semi-daughter?

Only to deliver a crushing blow when she was at her most vulnerable?

Xia Shishi didn’t believe that taking action against the Xia family was solely Fu Yunhan’s idea.

Outwardly warm and affectionate, but when interests were touched, they were all vicious wolves and tigers.

Speaking of which, she still needed to learn this art of compromise from this couple.

“Wife.” Just before entering, Xia Shishi lowered her voice.

“If you don’t like it, just say so, and we’ll leave early.”

Wen Jiao’s physical condition today worried Xia Shishi.

She looked particularly frail, even her smiles were gentle and soft. Although beautiful, Xia Shishi felt this didn’t resemble her dear wife.

It must be because she was feeling too unwell, which is why her smile was so forced.

It made her heart ache.

Wen Jiao’s eyes were profound, “Okay.”

After a moment, she quietly repeated herself.

“Okay.”

Wen Jiao sighed internally, feeling relieved. She closed her eyes, much more at ease in her heart.

She was genuinely worried that Xia Shishi and Fu Yunhan, this pair of childhood sweethearts, had a very good relationship. Now it seemed she had overthought it.

Excellent, Xia Shishi was still hers.

The Fu family’s villa was simply magnificent.

A typical CEO’s home, the entire living room was covered with Persian carpets, and an enormous crystal chandelier hung overhead, its bright light making it hard to keep one’s eyes open.

In comparison, Xia Shishi preferred Wen Jiao’s interior design style.

Simple, and not glaring.

On the white tiles, only Wen Jiao was the compelling sight.

As Xia Shishi pushed Wen Jiao inside, she immediately saw Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu.

Unlike Wen Jiao, who became the acting director of the company through genuine competence, this couple handed the company over to Fu Yunhan as soon as he graduated, making him the company’s CEO.

Consequently, the couple was usually only showing up when the company needed to make major decisions.

Aunt Fu was the quintessential wealthy madam. She was well-maintained and clearly dressed up for the occasion today.

Seeing Xia Shishi, Aunt Fu immediately came over with a smile, warmly taking Xia Shishi’s hand, “Why haven’t you come to visit us for so long? I was worried you had a falling out with our Yunhan.”

The moment she heard this, the Xia Shishi who was just about to compromise immediately pulled her hand back, feeling it was unlucky.

This mother and son really liked to say things that were easily misunderstood, making it seem like her relationship with Fu Yunhan was much better than it was.

Upon closer thought, there was no need to compromise.

Xia Shishi stood firm, “Because I didn’t feel like coming anymore.”

Aunt Fu was momentarily stunned by Xia Shishi’s sudden, strong movement, and hearing that sentence left her bewildered again.

While she knew Xia Shishi liked to stir up trouble and never suppressed herself, this was the first time she had been made to feel this uncomfortable right to her face.

In this instant, compromising became a challenge for Aunt Fu. She asked in surprise, “Did something happen between you two?”

Xia Shishi frowned, “What could possibly happen between us? Aunt Fu, please don’t say that anymore. I’ve only just gotten engaged. If my wife misunderstands because of something you said and calls off the engagement, how will you be held accountable?”

Aunt Fu nearly choked, and she wants to hold me accountable?

She then looked towards Wen Jiao in the wheelchair.

When Wen Jiao intentionally restrained her presence, it was difficult to notice her.

But once you looked over, you would be unable to tear your eyes away from Wen Jiao’s elegant and serene gaze.

Aunt Fu had met Wen Jiao before, but the current situation still made her pause for a moment before saying, “You must be Shishi’s fiancée.”

“That’s right, Aunt,” Wen Jiao was now able to confirm the relationship between Xia Shishi and the Fu family.

But she did not act coldly because of it.
