Chapter 2

Chen Kexin’s father, Chen Derong, dressed normally as he came into the room. He wore a black suit. Although he was nearly 50-year-old, he remained handsome. Now he was having a quirky warm smile on his face. He did not speak anything but radiated a terrifying aura. He was not alone. A dozen of bodyguards in black sunglasses and suits stood behind him. It looked like that they had not come here for talking about his daughter’s marriage, but for killing.

Wang Weixi was petrified. Only one sentence sounded in his heart: I’m dead.

He had not figured out whether he should believe that Chen Kexin wanted to marry him at the beginning. Now, when Chen Derong walked in with a graceful smile, accompanied by bodyguards, Wang Weixi sensed the terrifying killing intent and knew that he slept with a woman he should not touch.

However, it seemed that her family could not be treated in a normal way of thinking. For example, Chen Kexin seemed well-behaved, but she suggested spending the night in a hotel room with Wang Weixi and proposed to him after lovemaking. Her father, Chen Derong, did not disappoint Wang Weixi, either. Actually, it was jaw-dropping.

When his daughter held his arm and said coyly that she would have to marry Wang Weixi, Chen Derong looked not only surprised but also delightful. The master of the Mo family who had been furious and as serious as deities in Wang Weixi’s eyes suddenly spoke up. “That’s great!”

The three words calmed the frightened Wang Weixi. He suddenly raised his head. Seeing Chen Derong’s joyful face, Wang Weixi was in disbelief, his mouth twitching slightly. “Did I mishear?” he thought to himself.

Wang Weixi, who had read many novels, had pretended to be calm while deliberating on how to deal with it. He rehearsed many times his answers about how to react to the possible irrational reaction from his future father-in-law, but he did not expect Chen Derong’s three incredible words: That’s great.

He could not figure out why the man felt it was great that a poor stranger without any background would marry his daughter. Wang Weixi, who should have felt fortunate, could not be happy for it. This looked like a conspiracy. Thinking of this, Wang Weixi looked terrified.

“Probably Chen Kexin is not a daughter from a wealthy family. She has arranged everything in order to cheat me out of my money?” Wang Weixi thought. However, that’s unbelievable. Who would sacrifice her first night and rent so many clothes of famous brand to cheat a poor young man? His savings were not enough to pay their cost. Did the walk-on work for free?

Before Wang Weixi could recover from the shock, Chen Derong had taken firm and exciting steps forward. When Wang Weixi came to his senses, his hands had been firmly gripped by Chen Derong.

“Boy, you’re brave. Tell me, what do you want?” Chen Derong held Wang Weixi’s left hand while patting his shoulder with the other hand.

Wang Weixi felt that his leg went limp and he almost fainted, but he had to pretend to be composed, staring at Chen Derong, who looked earnest and delightful. Wang Weixi found that he was unable to think. “Is he so glad that his daughter will get married?”

As for those bodyguards, they burst into tears as if they were performing a moving movie. Each of them stared at Chen Kexin with expressions labeled “That’s great.”

Oh my god! What happened on earth?

Wang Weixi started to doubt whether he was in a dream. Thinking of it, he stretched his right hand, glanced at the joyful Chen Derong, and then fixed his eyes on his own clenched fist, debating whether he should make a move, but he had thrown a punch.

As his fist was about to land on Chen Derong, one of the bodyguards rushed over at a lightning speed. Then Wang Weixi felt he turned a circle and flopped onto the ground with a thump.

Seeing Wang Weixi fall on the ground with a dumbfounded look, Chen Kexin immediately ran toward him. She asked in a worried tone while helping him up. “Dear, are you OK?”

Wang Weixi felt dizzy as he stood up and murmured, “It turns out that I’m not in a dream…” “Fuck, don’t they hit others to make sure whether they’re in a dream in the novels? Why was I beaten?”

“Little Six, why did you hit him so hard?” Chen Kexin angrily blamed the bodyguard.

Little Six lowered his head. Was not his duty protecting his boss?

Chen Derong waved his hands. “Don’t worry. My future son-in-law is interesting. Since you’re so shy, then let me say it. I’ll give you an apartment in the Heze Bay and an Audi A6. What do you think?”

…

Wang Weixi widened his eyes and was stunned again. “What did he say?”

“Not enough?” Chen Derong did not receive any response from Wang Weixi and asked, “If that’s not enough, I’ll offer you a house in Hainan province. And I’ll pay for everything in your wedding. You only need to wait to marry your bride.”

…

“What shall I say?” Wang Weixi patted his face and tried to keep sober. “Did I hear wrongly? These… these wedding gifts are awesome! Is… is Chen Kexin on sale?” Turning to look at Chen Kexin, who leaned close and happily smiled at him, Wang Weixi was stupefied. He did not think that all of it came so abruptly, but that everything was unbelievable!

Staring at Chen Derong who looked eager and expectant and all the bodyguards, Wang Weixi plucked up the courage to speak. “But… but… this is not good for Little Ya, right?”

“This is how you want to marry off your daughter? Even your property is piled up to the height of a Golden-Hooped Rod which is able to poke a hole in the sky, but you can’t treat your daughter like no one would marry her. An apartment, a car, and a house. Buy one and get three for free?”

Wang Weixi had a sense of humiliation. Although he was poor without a house and a car, he was unwilling to be under his father-in-law’s control. “If I take all the things he will give to me, I will have to live a depressed life, which means I have to observe her family’s face to behave in the future.” Thinking that some of his colleagues lived such a life, he wondered… “Am I going to follow the same path?”

However, Wang Weixi did not dare to say that he was reluctant to marry Chen Kexin. Looking at the comers, they came here not for killing but forcing them to get married. Wang Weixi guessed that if they could not reach their goal, then… He swallowed hard. There were two tombs before him, one for marriage and the other for his body, so he knew which one he should choose.

“It’s good for her. You’re the bravest one among all the men I’ve ever met. That’s deal! Next month, October 1st, you’ll have a wedding ceremony.”

…

“I’m the bravest one?” Wang Weixi considered the smiling Chen Kexin in puzzlement. “Such an excellent girl, why does her father want to marry her off so hurriedly? Are all the families in A City so rich?”

“But, my son-in-law, I have a requirement…” When Wang Weixi was overwhelmed, Chen Derong suddenly spoke.

Looking at his future father-in-law, Wang Weixi had a grim sense of foreboding.

Chen Derong pulled Wang Weixi to his side and whispered, “After you get married, you have to promise that Little Ya will not frequently come back to my house. If she wants to go home, you need to tell me in advance.”

Wang Weixi frowned. “What does it mean?” What a strange requirement! Although he felt puzzled, he still nodded. “OK.”

Chen Derong was satisfied with his response. He nodded, patted his son-in-law’s shoulder and then said to his daughter, who was not far from them, “My girl, prepare to be his bride.”

Chen Kexin nodded and replied, “Thanks, dad.”

“Congratulation!” All the bodyguards bowed and cried.

Chen Kexin nodded with a slight smile. “Don’t forget giving me a gift for my wedding.”

All the bodyguards looked embarrassed… Their miss never forgot it at any time.

Chen Kexin stood there while holding Wang Weixi, who felt dizzy. Chen Derong was about to leave, but he suddenly turned around at the last minute and said, “Thank you for marrying her.” Then he walked out of the room under Chen Kexin’s angry cries.

“Thanks?” When Wang Weixi tilted his head and saw Chen Kexin flushed with anger and rebuke her father, he burst into laughter. “This girl is so cute.”

“Honey, we’re going to get married.” Wang Weixi suddenly raised her up and said delightfully.

Chen Kexin buried her head in his arms and sighed coyly, “Bad boy, you scared me.”

There were many unimaginable opportunities in one’s life. Wang Weixi thought he was the unluckiest one: no chance to get a promotion, no savings to buy a house, and no women willing to marry him. But now, a pretty girl was in his arms and told him that she only wanted to marry him.

It felt like a poor man suddenly won a 5 million lottery.

Wang Weixi had a feeling that the happiness was unsustainable. “Maybe the gun with happiness bullets was accidentally fired? Wait, tomorrow, I won’t let you down.”

Where is your happiness? It might be at your hand. How easy is it to be happy? You only need to grasp it.
