Hidden Marriage

Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

Jiang Muye had seen her like this before and asked awkwardly, ”Why are you so tired today? Didn’t the press conference go well?”

Everything was arranged perfectly by a certain someone…

”It’s all your fault! I’m tired mentally!” Ning Xi was annoyed and quickly rolled up to look at him with a burning stare. ”Let me ask you something, that day… that day Lu Tingxiao… really… kissed me?”

Jiang Muye tossed back a drink. ”If I lied, I’ll burn all my equipment and never play PC games ever again!”

Ning Xi nodded. ”Ok, I trust you now.” Such a deadly oath for him to make.

Jiang Muye tried not to scream. ”You freaking tell me, how many times did I remind you! You never listened! Why havenʼt you died from stupidity! How long have we known each other and how long have you known Lu Tingxiao? Why don’t you trust me?”

Looking at Jiang Muye’s sad little face, Ning Xi sighed. ”In fact, when I first met Lu Tingxiao, he said it.”

”Said what?” Jiang Muye got nervous.

Ning Xi gestured with her palms. ”Said he would marry me.”

”Pff… cough, cough, cough… what did you say?” Jiang Muye almost choked to death on his drink and coughed severely.

Ning Xi patted his back hard. ”I was more shocked than you are right now.”

”Then?” Jiang Muye asked in a rush.

”Then I asked why! It was totally unscientific!”

”What did he say?”

”He said that I saved Little Treasure and that he wanted to repay me by giving himself to me!”

”WTF! Then what did you say?”

”I said that I saved Little Treasure and then Little Treasure saved me back, so let’s call it even, no need to repay me with anything, and then I ran away!”

Jiang Muye quickly stood up and paced in circles crazily around the room. ”I freaking want to strangle you. Lu Tingxiao wanted to take advantages from you from the beginning and even said it out straight, so why didnʼt you keep your distance?”

Ning Xi raised her eyebrows. ”Come on, how can anyone reject anything in front of Little Treasure’s innocent face? Plus, I always thought that Lu Tingxiao only said he wanted to marry me for Little Treasure’s sake. I rejected him later and he didnʼt force me anymore, so what else could I do?”

”Why would it be for Little Treasure’s sake? That’s so fake! And you, you’re such a pig!” Jiang Muye finally stopped walking in circles, looked at her, and said, ”Let me put it this way, normally, in a hero-saves-beauty situation like this, if the beauty is not interested in the hero, she would say, ‘thank you for helping me, I will work for you like a cow or a horse to repay you!’ So here’s the question, what if the beauty IS interested in the hero, what would she say? Ning Xiao Xi, please answer!”

”Hmm…” Ning Xi touched her jaw. ”The beauty would say, ‘I will repay you with myself’?”

”So, now you understand the meaning of ‘repay you with myself’?! It means ‘I freaking like you, I’m keen and interested’!”Jiang Muye impatiently shouted next to her ear.

Ning Xi picked her ears, which had gone numb from his loud screaming. ”Sounds reasonable…”

Jiang Muye said, ”This is the freaking truth!”

Ning Xi stood up and dusted off her butt, then grabbed Jiang Muye’s shoulder, calmed him down, made him sit on the sofa, and said slowly, ”Ok, since you asked me, let me also ask you something!”

Jiang Muye looked at her cautiously. ”What do you want to ask?”

”I want to ask you, if you walked into a room and saw the person you like was drugged, wearing a transparent night gown, and lying on a king sized bed covered with rose petals, what would you do?”

Jiang Muye seeing her look like this, awkwardly asked, “How come you’re so tired? Wasn’t today’s press conference very smooth?”

Every little detail had been taken care of…..

“Isn’t it your fault!” Ning Xi replied irritably, then sat up staring him in the eyes: “I want to ask you…on that day did Lu Ting Xiao…..really……kiss me?”

Jiang Muye took a drink from his cup of wine: “If I lie to you, I will burn all my game systems. After this night, I will no longer play video games!”

Ning Xi nodded: “Okay, I believe you.” This was a serious oath.

Jiang Muye couldn’t help but curse: “You have my number! How many times did I remind you to open your mail! You didn’t listen! He is simply playing you! How long have you known Lu Ting Xiao and how long have you known me? Yet you didn’t believe me!”

Jiang Muye has the appearance of being injured,

Ning Xi sighed, “In fact, from the first time I met with Lu Ting Xiao, he told me something.”

“What? Jiang Muye asked, his expression tight

Ning Xi replied “He asked to marry me.”

“Puff……….cough cough cough…….what did you say?” Jiang Muye almost choked to death on his wine.

Ning Xi vigorously patted his back, “I was even more shocked than you were!”

“And then?” Jiang Muye hastily asked

“Then I naturally asked him why he wanted to marry me! It was simply too unscientific!”

“What did he say?”

“He said that since I saved Little Treasure, he would pay me with his body!”

“You’re lying! What was your answer?”

“I said that even though I saved Little Treasure, he also saved me so it’s an even draw. There was no need to report or repay, then I ran away.”

Jiang Muye stood up, pacing back and forth a dozen times: “I really want to strangle you. You knew of Lu Ting Xiao’s intentions since the beginning and you still haven’t hidden away?”

Ning Xi only raised an eyebrow: “Come on, with Little Treasure depending on me as a favor? Besides, I always thought that it was because of Little Treasure that Lu Ting Xiao wanted to marry me. When I refused, he didn’t continue to press the matter so what is the problem?”

“Who cares about Little Treasure! That’s simply hypocrisy! And you, you’re a pig!” Jiang Muye finally stopped pacing and stared at her. “Let’s just say under special circumstances a hero were to save the girl. If the girl is boring, she would certainly thank the hero for rescuing her and is willing to do favors to repay him but he wouldn’t be interested. If the girl is interesting, what would she say? Seriously Ning Xi what is the answer?!”

Ning Xi touched her chin thoughtfully: “Well…..maybe she will say that she’s willing to pay him back with her body?

“So now you know what ‘favors’ mean now no?! To you you’re doing labor, but he finds you fancy and interesting!” Jiang Muye shouted in her ear

Ning Xi, her ears numbed by the shout replied quietly: ”When you put it that way, it kind of makes sense…..”

Jiang Muye: “It’s the truth!”

Ning Xi quickly stood up and grabbed Jiang Muye’s shoulder, forcing him to sit calmly on the sofa. “Since you asked me, I also have a question for you”

Jiang Muye, looked at her vigilantly and said “What do you want to ask?”

“If you walked into a room, and you see the girl you like on an aphrodisiac, wearing transparent lingerie, lying on a king size bed covered in red rose petals what would you do?
