Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 743: Prenuptial Agreement

The response Zhong Yi received was the sound of a door closing.

Bam!

It completely cut off his angry curses inside the ward.

"Young Master."

Old Chen listened to the faint sounds coming from behind the door, thinking that Young Master always got under Young Master Zhong’s skin. At this rate, who knows how long Young Master Zhong will have to stay in recovery.

"Did the Lu Family go to ship the goods?"

"Yes, they’re in a hurry. The pharmacies around the Imperial Capital are almost emptied out, barely able to sustain their daily needs. Lu Bannong is still trying to reach Zhao Chang, but hasn’t succeeded yet. Should we...?"

Huo Xingzhou said indifferently, "No need, let Lu Bannong take his time."

Old Chen chuckled with schadenfreude, "The Lu Family might face a shortage tomorrow!"

Huo Xingzhou glanced at him, with a hint of profundity in his eyes, "Not just tomorrow."

This revelry for the Lu Family was doomed not to end smoothly.

"Young Master, where should we go now?"

"Home, to watch the show."

He had done everything necessary, now he was waiting for the other side to come knocking.

"Alright."

Old Chen followed Huo Xingzhou out of the hospital and drove up the car.

The Rolls Royce had already been smashed, so the Young Master went and got another Phantom. In certain respects, the Young Master was quite loyal.

Things he was accustomed to using, he would never change on a whim.

"Young Master, please get in." Old Chen opened the car door and reminded him.

After Huo Xingzhou got in, Old Chen circled back to the front seat and drove off, foot on the gas.

"Young Master, the Rolls Royce has been sent to the repair shop. Most have already sent in compensation, but some stubbornly refuse to pay. The more severe cases may require a few days of detention."

"Understood."

Huo Xingzhou replied softly, sounding somewhat nonchalant.

His eyes glanced out the car window and, when passing by Ruisa Shopping Mall, he happened to catch sight of a familiar car stopping.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman stepped out of the car.

They looked well-matched; although not very intimate, there was an echoing aura about them.

Huo Xingzhou’s face darkened as he asked, "Has Jiaojiao been at home a lot lately?"

Old Chen recalled for a moment before saying, "She hasn’t gone out much, but the outings haven’t been long. Usually, there’s a bodyguard accompanying the Young Lady to ensure safety."

Huo Xingzhou’s eyelashes lowered.

Witnessing his family’s precious blossom being claimed, he wasn’t exactly in high spirits.

"Young Master, is there a problem?"

"No, keep driving. Stop by Tangji when we pass; I need to buy some crab roe buns Qiao Xi likes."

Recently, Qiao Xi was pregnant, and her taste preferences had changed a bit.

Having the same food at home got tiring, and she wanted to try something fresh outside.

"Okay, Young Master."

Old Chen sensed the Young Master’s mood wasn’t good, so he refrained from saying much.

...

At the entrance of Ruisa Shopping Mall.

Huo Sijiao suddenly felt a chill on her back and glanced around.

But saw nothing.

Beside her, Xie Xubai softly asked, "What’s wrong?"

He was dressed somewhat formally, yet his elegant air couldn’t be concealed by the outfit. Such a man, resembling an ink wash painting, standing at the mall entrance, drew quite a bit of attention.

Some daring girls even approached to ask for WeChat.

Xie Xubai replied, his tone polite yet distant, "Sorry, I..."

"He’s taken."

Huo Sijiao took Xie Xubai’s arm, declaring her claim.

The girl, seeing the stunning Huo Sijiao, had no choice but to leave helplessly.

Huo Sijiao let go, turned to Xie Xubai, and said, "Since we’ve made the decision, you should try to keep your distance from other women. At least give me some face in public. Regarding Pei Chun’s matter, I’ll help you handle it."

She had a liking for Xie Xubai, but awkwardly spoke of interests.

As if they were brought together entirely by an arranged marriage.

Xie Xubai’s smile held an indulgent insight, "Okay, I’ll stay clean."

"That’s good! Similarly, I will keep my distance from Shen Xuanzhi."

Xie Xubai replied candidly, "I understand."

As she looked into his focused eyes, Huo Sijiao felt her ear tips heating up.

She turned her gaze away, covering up, "This isn’t the place to talk; let’s head to a café first."

"Alright."

Xie Xubai often indulged her, the phrase he used most in front of her was "Alright." Whatever Huo Sijiao wanted to do, he’d usually agree to it.

Huo Sijiao’s temper never served her well in front of him. Her sharp tongue honed in Haicheng became a dud with Xie Xubai.

It felt like saying even a single harsh word to such an elegant man would be sacrilege.

Let alone cursing.

Besides, she couldn’t bring herself to scold Xie Xubai.

The two entered the café and chose a quiet spot to sit.

Huo Sijiao took out an agreement from her bag and placed it in front of Xie Xubai, "You must have agreed to my earlier proposal. This is a prenuptial agreement. If there are no issues, sign it."

Their relationship hadn’t yet reached the stage of discussing marriage, but with year-end approaching, this marriage had to be finalized.

Huo Sijiao witnessed the fierce competition in the Imperial Capital and wanted to contribute to her brother and sister-in-law.

She had hopes for marriage internally, but after seeing so many scars and calculations in marriage, she realized that initial affection doesn’t guarantee a lasting relationship.

So, it was worth the gamble.

At least Xie Xubai was a good person.

His morals were high, meaning he wouldn’t turn bad easily.

Xie Xubai picked up the prenuptial agreement and looked through it.

Judging by the format, it was something Huo Sijiao drafted herself, using online references; any professional lawyer wouldn’t craft such glaringly flawed clauses.

"Split expenses 50-50 after marriage? Each responsible for individual expenses?" Xie Xubai pointed at the first clause with his distinct hand.

This looked more like a business partnership than a marriage arrangement.

Yet Huo Sijiao was matter-of-fact, "Of course, we each handle our expenses in marriage. You don’t expect me to take advantage of you, do you? I have my private savings. Not only are the expenses split, but I also don’t want your property; it’s all laid out on paper."

Xie Xubai looked and indeed, it was written there.

Besides getting married and registering, she asked for nothing else.

The economic boundaries were particularly clear, not gaining any advantage whatsoever.

"How long do you plan on staying married?" Xie Xubai studied her and asked.

Huo Sijiao propped her chin with one hand, stirring her coffee with a small spoon and pondered, "It depends on the situation. Once the Lu Family collapses, settling with the Pei Family and dealing with Young Master Zhong, everything stabilizes, we can divorce. Or..."

She looked at him with her pretty, lively eyes, "If you meet someone you truly like, you can suggest a divorce."

Xie Xubai praised, "How considerate of you."

Huo Sijiao smiled with a hint of embarrassment, "Naturally, I wouldn’t want to hinder your pursuit of true love."

The depths of Xie Xubai’s eyes grew darker, "There’s one more thing you didn’t include in the prenuptial agreement."

Huo Sijiao asked, "What is it?"
