Chapter 38 Let's Get Married

Chapter 38 Let's Get Married

Si Yuan frowned in surprise, instinctively lowering her voice: "Are you sick?"

Jiang Wang was not joking.

He wanted to protect her and take her away from that quagmire and the rotten people and mess of the Song family.

I thought about it when I was eighteen.

But she ran away first.

This time, he wouldn't let her get away again.

"Si Yuan, I don't have many more five-year periods left, and neither do you."

He knew she still liked Song Yan.

Si Yuan felt that the air conditioning seemed a bit too cold.

She felt a chill run down her spine.

"You, me, dating?" She frowned and asked seriously, "Jiang Wang, were you out fooling around yesterday and still half asleep?"

"..."

Jiang Wang said, "Then let's get married."

One sentence left Si Yuanhong completely bewildered.

We haven't even digested the previous question yet.

That's a huge leap for him.

"Get...married?"

"What marriage?"

A soft question suddenly came from behind.

Si Yuan turned around, and Song Yan was standing at the door.

He stared at himself coldly.

She had secretly looked at this face many times.

He was handsome and refined, with delicate and noble features, but upon closer inspection, his eyes always held a cold and sharp edge, as if he were born to be in a superior position.

In that instant, Si Yuan thought of many things.

She thought of everything that had happened in the Song family since she was a child.

If she stayed in the Song family, she would probably... never be able to leave anything related to Song Yan for the rest of her life.

Si Yuan's expression softened, and she turned to Jiang Wang, saying, "Okay."

Then he hung up the phone.

Song Yan thought he had misheard when he entered the room.

He put down the medicinal supplements he had brought for his mother, sat down, and stared at Si Yuan without moving.

What did you just say about marriage?

Si Yuan also sat down, the two of them on either side of the hospital bed.

"With all these things happening to Mom, will your engagement have to be postponed?"

Song Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems I misheard.

He lowered his eyes and casually asked, "Do you care a lot?"

Si Yuan didn't seem to care, and she said casually, "What I mean is, since your engagement ceremony can't be held as scheduled, can the design contract period be extended?"

Song Yan's fingers, which were gripping the thermos, paused for a moment, and the coldness that had just relaxed in his eyes returned.

Is that what she did?

Song Yan's tone was emotionless as he said calmly, "I will arrange for someone to send the letter according to procedure regarding the contract; you don't need to worry about it."

Si Yuan nodded.

That's good.

In this way, she can focus on designing other set pieces.

The air in the ward quieted down again, with only the regular "beeping" of the electrocardiogram monitor making people uneasy.

——

Jiang Wang looked at his phone, thinking about the "okay" Si Yuan had just said.

Zhou Ling pushed open the office door and saw him staring blankly at his phone, with an expression she had never seen before, which piqued her interest.

"He looks like he's in the throes of first love; something's not right."

Jiang Wang put out his cigarette and closed his phone.

Zhou Ling leaned over and placed the documents on his desk for him to sign: "Take a look at the contract first."

Jiang Wang held the phone between his two long, slender fingers and twirled it in a circle.

Looking up at Zhou Ling, he said, "She said, 'Okay.'"

Zhou Ling hesitated, then looked around suspiciously, only to find the place empty.

Who is it?

Jiang Wang said, "Si Yuan."

Zhou Ling chuckled awkwardly.

"Who did I think it was? Only she could make you make that face, like you've been possessed." He sat down and asked casually, "What did she say?"

Jiang Wang simply replied, "Marriage."

Zhou Ling nodded and blurted out, "And then..."

Before he could finish pronouncing the word "ne", he suddenly realized what was going on.

He practically jumped off the chair.

"marry?"

"Um."

Zhou Ling's expression was as if she had seen a ghost: "Holy crap!"

Jiang Wang proposed to Si Yuan?

And that good-for-nothing actually agreed?

"She...she's always liked her brother, hasn't she? She's so timid, how could she make this decision so quickly? Has she known you've liked her for a long time?"

Jiang Wang stood up, without answering a single question.

He pointed at the contract with his finger and said, "You handle it."

After saying that, he walked out.

Zhou Ling was completely bewildered, clearly still not understanding what was going on: "Where are you going?"

Jiang Wang smiled and pushed the door open: "I'm going to order a ring."

Zhou Ling was impressed by that sentence and immediately performed a set of air military boxing.

There's a kind of satisfaction in standing up for your buddy after all his hardships!

"You've really been waiting for me, kid."

"President Zhou..."

Zhou Ling was suddenly startled and turned around. Two secretaries were standing at the door, hesitant to speak.

Zhou Ling restrained herself almost instantly.

With a formal expression, he picked up the contract, flipped through it, and said, "The contract is good, let's settle... oh no, let's sign it."

——

If all goes well, Song's mother will wake up in three days.

Si Yuan stayed at the hospital for two days, and her complexion was also a bit poor. Song's father couldn't bear to see her like that, so he told her to go home and rest first.

Si Yuan had this intention.

Song Yan has been here these past few days, and it's very uncomfortable to be around him.

I went downstairs and was about to hail a taxi.

A black car slowly slid to a stop in front of us.

The car window rolled down, revealing Jiang Wangyou's superior profile.

What brings you here?

Jiang Wang raised his chin: "Get in the car."

Si Yuan obediently got into the car.

Jiang Wang shifted gears, and the car started moving again.

Jiang Wang casually handed her an iPad.

Si Yuan was puzzled.

Jiang Wang said, "Pick one."

Si Yuan frowned suspiciously and opened the tablet.

The entire page was filled with all sorts of... rings.

Si Yuan: "?"

"I don't know what kind you like, but all the diamond rings that Haicheng can get are here."

He spoke of it so casually, yet they were all solid diamonds over ten carats, each one so exquisite in cut and brand that it took one's breath away.

Si Yuan has no intention of going back on his word.

But there were still some...unexpected things.

"Isn't that an exaggeration?"

"Is that an exaggeration?" Jiang Wang smiled and glanced at her. "Won't you think it's even more exaggerated at the wedding?"

Si Yuan turned off the screen and pursed her lips.

Although she grew up in the Song family, she never really integrated into that circle, including the extravagant and top-tier high society.

She was truly flattered.

"Jiang Wang, actually I just... want to get a marriage certificate."

The car stopped.

The light ahead is red.

Jiang Wang blinked, not looking at her, and asked in a hoarse voice, "You mean, even after we're married, I still don't have a formal status?"

That's not what Si Yuan meant.

“I’m afraid… afraid it will affect you. You’re marrying an adopted daughter of the Jiang family, so there’s no need to make a big fuss about it. If one day you find that you’ve made a mistake, it will be easier to clean up the mess.”

The light has turned green.

Jiang Wang started the car and said casually, "What if I were to make a big fuss about it?"

Si Yuan's eyelashes trembled.

Jiang Wang seemed a little angry, and Si Yuan noticed it.

"I'm sorry, I was being too sensitive. Whatever you like, do whatever you want, it's all fine..."

"Si Yuan, a person only gets married once in their life."

Jiang Wang spoke in a deep voice, and Si Yuan had never seen him so serious before.

"At least, that's how it is for me."
