After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 43

The main reasons for the popularity of Xia Group’s skincare products are their gentle ingredients and smooth, delicate texture, making them safe enough for even children to use directly.

This solid foundation is the result of the efforts accumulated by veterans like Fang Yingcai.

Developing a customized skincare product for Wen Jiao is somewhat troublesome.

However, for Fang Yingcai, it is precisely the area in which he excels.

After one or two hours, Fang Yingcai became somewhat immersed and couldn’t stop, feeling a strong urge to go and touch the instruments in the R&D department.

Then, Fang Yingcai suddenly thought of something: “Alas, times have changed.”

The instruments now are becoming increasingly precise, and their speed of learning is not what it was when they were young.

They have long been obsolete by the times.

The production methods Fang Yingcai suggested are also all old ways.

For the Xia Group, products manufactured using those methods cannot keep up with the demands of contemporary young people.

That is why, after careful consideration, they chose to retreat behind the scenes and retire, giving the opportunity to the younger generation.

Fang Yingcai looked at Xia Shishi’s notebook. Her ideas were very good, and most importantly, they aligned with user needs.

“Is this Old Xia’s daughter? It seems the Xia Group will have a good successor in the future.”

He put down the notebook, remembering something that wasn’t right.

“You mean the people in the R&D department haven’t done any research based on these formulas?”

Xia Shishi paused: “My notebook was taken away by the person responsible for mentoring me. He returned it the next day, and then there was no follow-up.”

Xia Shishi didn’t elaborate on the details, but the meaning she wanted to convey was very clear.

The people in the R&D department are not as dedicated to the company as they once were.

Xia Shishi didn’t stay too long at Fang Yingcai’s house. After asking questions and discussing the current situation of the R&D department, she found an opportunity to leave.

Wen Jiao was reading the script.

The period costume drama that Xia Shishi recommended investing in is a traffic magnet in the current market.

The plot is very simple and not complicated; it mainly revolves around the romance of the male and female leads, with the second female lead causing trouble, and then finding someone else to date.

In the end, even the maid beside the female lead is also falling in love.

It can be summarized in four words: “Matchmaking Literature”.

Wen Jiao turned the page, and her eyes suddenly deepened.

It was a passage of ambiguous bedroom scenes.

“Woman, you are seducing me.”

“I… I am not.”

“Heh, do you like it when I touch you like this?”

“Let go of me!”

Then, with half-hearted resistance, the lights are turned off implied intimacy, and the next day, the female lead wakes up with a blushing face and a stirred heart.

Wen Jiao opened her computer to search for such scenes, wanting to see what contemporary young people thought.

She just couldn’t understand it.

The comments turned out to be:

“Wow, wow, wow, I’m so excited.”

“I beg heaven to arrange someone like this for me.”

“Grab her waist, kiss her, touch her!”

Wen Jiao directly closed the computer.

She wondered, had Xia Shishi read these plots?

Or did she invest simply because Zhou Xiaojiang would star in it?

Was she that good to Zhou Xiaojiang?

They would go shopping together, and she would also help in secret.

If Xia Shishi had been straight before, Wen Jiao wouldn’t overthink it, but now that Xia Shishi has “bent,” Wen Jiao’s mood became complicated.

Her slender fingers tapped on the computer, and she opened it again to search.

How to satisfy my fiancée.

She had given Xia Shishi many gifts before, but only upon reaching her room did she discover that those things were not to her liking.

Wen Jiao intended to study, but then she saw that one sentence again.

“Grab her waist, kiss her, touch her!”

“Wifey, I’m back!”

As soon as Xia Shishi returned home, she eagerly rushed to Wen Jiao’s room.

It was fine when they lived at the Wen house, as they shared a room.

However, living separately for this period after moving back home meant less time together.

This made Xia Shishi more direct.

She pushed the door open and saw Wen Jiao reading a book. She was used to this sight, so she didn’t pay too much attention, and went over to say two words: “Kiss me!”

The hand holding the book by Wen Jiao shook slightly.

Xia Shishi didn’t know about the “grabbing the waist” literature yet.

She wrapped her arms around Wen Jiao’s neck, conveniently sitting on her lap. Seeing Wen Jiao’s lack of reaction, she was secretly relieved that gradual progress was a good method.

From the initial huge reaction to a slight touch, now her wife didn’t even frown at such intimate contact.

Xia Shishi shifted her butt, burrowing directly into Wen Jiao’s arms, and repeated: “Hurry up and kiss me.”

Wen Jiao put her hand into a fist and placed it against her lips.

Her mouth was pressed down forcefully.

“Do you like this kind of story?” Wen Jiao gestured to the script in her hand.

Only then did Xia Shishi realize that Wen Jiao wasn’t reading a book. She looked over curiously and found the title was the same as the drama Zhou Xiaojiang was going to star in.

“Has Wifey already gotten the script?” Xia Shishi hadn’t read it yet.

In her past life, when Zhou Xiaojiang filmed this drama, it was after Xia Shishi had fallen into trouble. How could she have the mood to read such things?

And there were countless troubles ahead, so she paid even less attention to the details.

The reason Xia Shishi invested was merely to benefit from the female lead’s halo, not because she thought the script was good.

She was a little curious now, so she asked Wen Jiao: “How’s the plot?”

Wen Jiao’s eyes deepened: “You haven’t read it?”

Xia Shishi nodded honestly.

She couldn’t keep any secrets from her wife, especially such small matters. If she hadn’t read it, she hadn’t read it.

Xia Shishi didn’t notice Wen Jiao’s slight abnormality, and she lowered her head to look at the script.

It described the emotional entanglements between the characters, with harsh words like, “Are you trying to kill me for her?” and “You will regret it,” and so on.

Although cheesy, Xia Shishi quite liked it.

She took the script from Wen Jiao’s hand and began to read the next parts.

Wen Jiao: “Do you know what role Zhou Xiaojiang is playing?”

Xia Shishi: “It seems to be an exiled princess seeking revenge for her kingdom.”

Wen Jiao smoothed Xia Shishi’s hair: “That seems to be a supporting role. Why didn’t you just arrange the lead role for her?”

Xia Shishi shuddered.

Thinking about that, she instinctively felt disgusted and wanted Zhou Xiaojiang to stay away.

But the relationship between her and Zhou Xiaojiang was far more complicated than the female lead and second female lead in the script.

Arrange a lead role for her? Xia Shishi just wanted Zhou Xiaojiang to go back to her hometown and farm.

If only she wasn’t constrained by her identity…

“Don’t say such things.” To prevent Wen Jiao from noticing anything, Xia Shishi had to find a way to save face, “Let her take it step by step. We just care about how much this play can earn.”

Wen Jiao gazed at Xia Shishi.

Her fingers had unconsciously moved to the back of Xia Shishi’s neck.

She pressed down forcefully on the back of Xia Shishi’s neck. Before Xia Shishi could react, Wen Jiao held her and gave her a kiss.

Wen Jiao’s breath was cast upon Xia Shishi’s cheek.

And she said with ambiguous meaning: “I’m quite interested in this script.”

Wen Jiao let Xia Shishi sit on her lap.

She recalled a line from the script, where the male lead threatened to break the female lead’s legs if she dared to run.

Wen Jiao placed her hand on Xia Shishi’s leg.

She hadn’t read the script, yet she was sure the drama would make money?

Her assessment of Xia Shishi might need to be changed.

Little heartless one.

“Interact less with Zhou Xiaojiang in the future.”

Xia Shishi was originally immersed in Wen Jiao’s kiss and actions. Hearing this sentence, her internal alarm bells rang. Had Wen Jiao discovered something?

She thought she had concealed it well. When did Wen Jiao find out?

It wasn’t that she wanted to hide it from Wen Jiao, but this matter was truly unsuitable to be spoken out loud.

Xia Shishi still wanted to struggle: “She hasn’t done anything, right…” She wanted to test if Wen Jiao knew.

Thinking carefully, it was very possible.

Wen Jiao couldn’t have stood by regarding Qi Xue’s matter. For Xia Shishi’s sake, she definitely would have people investigate.

Just like in the original ending.

Xia Shishi nervously gripped Wen Jiao’s hand.

She was worried that Wen Jiao would clash with Zhou Xiaojiang.

She wasn’t sure what the consequences would be, but she was terrified of even a one-in-a-thousand chance of an accident occurring.

“Xia Shishi.” Wen Jiao said seriously, “Let’s get married.”

Xia Shishi couldn’t focus on being happy right now, but was instead more worried.

Why would Wen Jiao say such good news in this tone?

What exactly happened?!

Xia Shishi held Wen Jiao’s fingers, gently massaging them: “Zhou Xiaojiang has already joined the crew, and I rarely interact with her now.”

If it was because of Zhou Xiaojiang…

Xia Shishi held her breath.

Her nervous appearance, in Wen Jiao’s eyes, inexplicably took on a different meaning.

In the script, the male lead wanted to confine the female lead precisely so she wouldn’t run away.

But the one whose legs were disabled was her; the one who was lively and bouncing around was Xia Shishi.

And Xia Shishi was the one who would run.

Immersed in the idea that Xia Shishi had fallen for her, Wen Jiao even overlooked these details.

Whenever Zhou Xiaojiang was mentioned, Xia Shishi’s reaction was always different.

“Don’t you want to get married?” Wen Jiao asked softly, “Didn’t you say you wanted to get married before?”

Because of Xia Shishi’s words, Wen Jiao felt a joy as if she had been reborn.

If Xia Shishi truly had awakened.

Then what exactly was the situation between her and Zhou Xiaojiang?

Wen Jiao leaned her head against the top of Xia Shishi’s head, enduring the feeling.

There was nothing more painful than having something and then losing it.

If Xia Shishi hadn’t responded to her, she might not have been as distressed as she was now. But now, Wen Jiao didn’t want to let go.

“If my legs recover, will you marry me?”

“What are you saying…”

Xia Shishi was puzzled and became even more nervous: “I will marry you, any time.”

She wasn’t a doctor, nor did she have any magical abilities.

She didn’t know the possibility of Wen Jiao’s legs recovering.

Regardless of whether Wen Jiao’s legs would recover or not, Xia Shishi would be with Wen Jiao.

She also couldn’t say those discouraging words; after all, if she could recover, that would definitely be better.

“Wifey, I’m a little scared now.” Xia Shishi tucked in her legs.

She didn’t have time to think about Zhou Xiaojiang and was more concerned about Wen Jiao’s reaction: “Did something happen?”

Xia Shishi guessed one possibility.

What if Wen Jiao had already investigated something, and that was why she said those things?

If that were the case, those words sounded a bit like a farewell, and Xia Shishi disliked it very much.

She disliked it, so she bit her lip and said, “Will you tell me the truth?”

Because she didn’t know exactly what Wen Jiao knew, Xia Shishi didn’t know how to open up.

She still hoped Wen Jiao knew nothing.

Wen Jiao touched Xia Shishi’s hair. She was just feeling irritable.

It was also difficult to say such things to the young woman.

Seeing Xia Shishi’s worried eyes, Wen Jiao lightly touched her waist, wanting to grab her waist and make her unable to escape.

In the end, she let her hand drop.

“I’m just suddenly a little worried.”

“Worried about what?”

Seeing that Xia Shishi insisted on getting a clear answer, Wen Jiao released all the tension in her body: “You are so good. What if many people like you?”

Xia Shishi was stunned. Wait, the result of her being on tenterhooks was just this one sentence?

Xia Shishi: “Of course, many people like me.”

She couldn’t possibly say no.

“But I don’t want the proposal to be this way,” Xia Shishi looked at Wen Jiao with an indescribable expression.
