After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 73.2

Wei Xixue clearly wanted to find Ye Murou, but Ye Murou, she seemed not to want to be found.

Ye Murou knew her own identity.

But she didn’t want to acknowledge it?

So should she follow Ye Murou’s wishes? After all, Ye Murou had pleaded with her.

“I’m not sure,” Xia Shishi said with difficulty.

After a long while, she added: “I want a trustworthy friend, just like you and Zheng He.”

Even when Wen Jiao was framed and imprisoned, and when she was sick, Zheng He would still try every means to enter and treat her.

It was impossible for her to say she didn’t care about Qi Xue’s betrayal, but in her previous life, she had already been heartbroken and disappointed. After being reborn, Xia Shishi met Ye Murou, and now she wanted to try and trust Ye Murou.

After Xia Shishi finished speaking, she clearly grasped something.

Perhaps the changing factor was right here.

“Even if this isn’t what Ye Murou wants to do, I should at least understand the reason,” Xia Shishi stated clearly.

Wen Jiao looked at her gently: “You can trust me.”

Xia Shishi: “Of course I trust you! You and my parents, you are all my family. I would believe you no matter what the situation.”

Wen Jiao reached out and stroked Xia Shishi’s head: “Good.”

After two days of IV drips, Xia Shishi was lively and energetic.

Grandpa Wen saw her like this, so he left Wen Jiao to her and went to do other things himself.

Xia Shishi: “Understood, all understood.”

Grandpa Wen: “If you make any more noise, I’ll drag you over too.”

Now was not a good time to follow Grandpa Wen. Xia Shishi closed her mouth and stayed peacefully by Wen Jiao’s side.

Wen Jiao had continuous follow-up visits, acupuncture, massages, and various treatments over the past few days. Under continuous observation, the day of the surgery was getting closer and closer.

Once the surgery was successful, Wen Jiao only needed continuous rehabilitation training to have the day when she could stand up.

Her health improving was also only a matter of time. Hope was becoming more and more obvious, almost within reach.

Xia Shishi was already selecting wedding dresses.

“We started choosing wedding rings a month ago, and we still haven’t settled on one a month later.” Xia Shishi scrolled through the tablet.

She had looked at various brands of wedding rings, including the one that could only be custom-made once in a lifetime, but after looking around, she still couldn’t decide.

Who would have thought a month ago that today would come?

If calculated a few days before a month ago, Wen Jiao was even worried about whether Xia Shishi would show up at the engagement party.

Now, the two were inseparable.

Xia Shishi put down the tablet: “But it’s good too. If we had chosen then, we would definitely be dissatisfied now.”

Wen Jiao: “Why don’t we just get them custom-made?”

Xia Shishi’s eyes lit up: “That would be one-of-a-kind. Yes, fitting for our status.”

The next step was choosing a suitable designer.

Xia Shishi had interacted with all sorts of people before. After posting in her social circle, she quickly found several candidates. Xia Shishi browsed through the designers’ past works and finally chose a foreign female designer named Darlena.

Xia Shishi introduced her background to Wen Jiao: “She has designed many wedding rings for women, including for same-sex weddings.”

In other words, she was experienced and best able to meet customer needs.

It hadn’t been long since the same-sex marriage law was passed in the country. Choosing a domestic designer would take a lot of time, and Xia Shishi admitted she couldn’t wait, so she decided on Darlena.

Wen Jiao kept her thoughts hidden, and Xia Shishi, immersed in customizing the wedding rings, didn’t notice.

It was a few days later when Grandpa Wen came over and heard about the matter. He turned to Wen Jiao: “Didn’t you already settle on a wedding ring?”

Xia Shishi suddenly looked up, what, what!

That’s right.

Wen Jiao had settled on the wedding ring a long time ago.

She didn’t really want to talk about it, but only nodded after Xia Shishi’s persistent questioning: “I thought about marrying you a long time ago.”

Wen Jiao said in a muffled voice: “I didn’t dare to appear in front of you back then, so I just thought about it by myself, including the gown for the engagement and the engagement ring. I actually planned them a long time ago.”

Everyone dreams, and Wen Jiao was no exception.

She was worried she wouldn’t live long, so she didn’t dare to wish for Xia Shishi. Many holiday gifts, she only bought herself but never sent out.

It wasn’t until she decided to get engaged to Xia Shishi that she put her long-accumulated ideas into practice, wanting to send this and that, wishing she could move the whole shopping mall to Xia Shishi.

But she was rejected by Xia Shishi at the time.

After learning the result, Wen Jiao only calmly continued to send them, maintaining her crazy persistence.

The gifts stopped after the engagement ring.

“Even if we were engaged, you had time to regret it, Shishi.” That’s why she never mentioned the wedding ring.

It took a long time for Xia Shishi’s breathing to calm down: “Aren’t we planning the wedding now? So why didn’t you say anything?”

Wen Jiao: “…Like you said, I thought you might be dissatisfied with what was decided before.”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Xia Shishi was furious. “That’s the ring you thought about giving me for a long time. It’s so meaningful, okay? If I received it, I would be happy enough to roll around in your bed triumphantly for three days.”

What kind of expression was that?

Xia Shishi wanted to grab Wen Jiao by the collar and shake her. She waved all ten fingers in front of Wen Jiao for a long time, finally forming an open gesture showing the ring finger.

“I shouldn’t have gained weight, it should still fit, right?”

“The ring size can be adjusted.” She did think back then about what would happen if Xia Shishi grew up, so the ring was made a bit looser and could be altered.

Wen Jiao was truly thoughtful.

If it weren’t for Grandpa Wen, Xia Shishi would have been kept in the dark unknowingly.

Xia Shishi frowned tightly: “Woman, be smarter in the future.”

How could she be dissatisfied?

This was the thing that could please her the most, okay?

So foolish, Wen Jiao.

Xia Shishi leaned back: “No way. I need to pick a better ring for you. It has to be worthy of you.”

After learning this, Xia Shishi felt that Darlena was not quite suitable either. She needed to reselect a designer who could create the most perfect ring in her heart.

Scrolling through various options, Xia Shishi sighed mournfully.

It seemed it wasn’t enough yet.

The following night.

Xia Shishi got up, looking messy, and came before Wen Jiao.

Wen Jiao was a bit slow to close her computer. She knew she had been discovered by Xia Shishi and couldn’t hide, so she simply waited for Xia Shishi to come and question her.

“You’re working longer and longer hours.”

“…You noticed a long time ago?”

Xia Shishi scratched her hair.

Although Wen Jiao lowered the screen brightness and kept the sound down, she shouldn’t treat her like an idiot and think she could be hidden from until now.

She could close one eye before, but now that the surgery was only a few days away, she couldn’t let Wen Jiao mess around anymore, and Wen Jiao’s secretive working hours were getting longer and longer, how could she be at ease?

Xia Shishi finally couldn’t stand it and stepped forward to stop her.

“You can’t keep staying up late.”

Wen Jiao nodded, ignoring the half-finished instructions to her staff, and obediently closed the computer.

Xia Shishi was still uneasy: “What is it that you’re so eager to resolve right before the surgery? Can’t you tell me?”

She also wanted to share the burden for Wen Jiao.

She could still manage to organize basic information. She couldn’t stand Wen Jiao’s damnable career ambition anymore.

Xia Shishi also understood that her parents were handling the affairs of the Xia Group, but the internal affairs of the Wen Group were actually a mess. With Grandpa Wen retired, several uncles were watching covetously, only wanting the piece of meat in their mouths to grow bigger. Thus, they didn’t mind sacrificing a portion of the company’s profits, only seeking to take control of the company’s future and then make changes.

Including Wen Jiao’s aunt doing the same.

“I heard you mention Shicun,” Xia Shishi pursed her lips. “You’re trying to stop Auntie from cooperating with her, right?”

Wen Jiao frowned slightly and sighed: “Sometimes I really don’t want you to understand so much. Let me worry about these things.”

“I can’t hide behind you forever.” Xia Shishi’s eyes were a little red, unsure if it was because she hadn’t slept well in the middle of the night or for other reasons.

Her voice was very soft when she said this, so soft that Wen Jiao could sense the deep unease hidden within.

“Let’s sleep first,” Wen Jiao lowered her eyes.

Xia Shishi thought so too: “Then tell me tomorrow.”

That night, Xia Shishi didn’t fall into a deep sleep until she was sure Wen Jiao was asleep.

Wen Jiao heard her steady breathing and smiled helplessly. She was certain that Xia Shishi was genuinely asleep now, and even if she continued to work, Xia Shishi wouldn’t find out.

However, Wen Jiao didn’t pick up the computer because what she wanted to do had already been achieved.

Goal perfectly accomplished. Time to sleep.
