Flash Marriage Chapter 13 and Chapter 14

 Chapter 13

That night, Xue Heng personally witnessed the responsibilities that Wei Zongjin had to bear in his position.

From the moment the news aired until one in the morning, Wei Zongjin’s phone didn’t stop ringing. Somehow, during the process of handling official business calls, he didn’t avoid Xue Heng.

To put it in simpler terms, is the other party planning to take advantage of him?

Xue Heng looked anxiously at Wei Zongjin, who was standing by the window and angrily talking on the phone. He thought to himself that if it were someone else, he probably wouldn’t overthink it so much, but this person was Wei Zongjin, after all.

He still remembered when he accompanied Xue Guozhi to attend Wei Zongjin’s great-grandfather’s 70th birthday. He happened to witness Wei Zongjin contacting his subordinates for work. At that time, Wei Zongjin chose to avoid him.

But now, Wei Zongjin was unreservedly contacting people in front of him. What does this signify? He was afraid that he might not be able to protect his little daisy. Xue Heng wore a worried expression, his distress evident, his mind wandering.

Wei Zongjin hung up the phone and saw Xue Heng curling up on the sofa, his face filled with bitterness. He thought he had hemorrhoids or something and sighed, “If you can’t stand it, go to the hospital tomorrow.”

Xue Heng was startled and turned to look at him. “Go to the hospital?”

Without answering, Wei Zongjin glanced thoughtfully at Xue Heng’s pouting bottom, turned around, took off his jacket and shirt, and walked briskly into the bathroom, leaving Xue Heng behind.

After a while, Xue Heng heard the sound of water dripping in the bathroom. It brought him a sense of relief, and he suddenly realized that his current posture, curling on the sofa, was very much like the “over-the-table” position in a certain kind of video.

He was such an idiot.

Muttering to himself, Xue Heng felt that he might have been misunderstood by the other party. But after this interruption, all the wicked speculations about Wei Zongjin in his mind dissipated.

Xue Heng left the sofa, climbed onto the bed, and carefully occupied the spot near the window. Then he opened Weibo on his phone and started scrolling through the posts.

He didn’t expect that within just a few hours, the news of the fire caused by a short circuit in Huacheng Village had already spread on Weibo and was causing a stir. The night owls on Weibo were unable to sleep due to this incident, even though the platform is usually dominated by hot gossip about celebrities.

The top three trending topics on Weibo, which were usually occupied by celebrity gossip, were now taken over by the Huacheng Village fire.

This showed how serious the situation had become.

Xue Heng, who originally thought that the relevant departments would suppress the incident, furrowed his brow. The fire in Huacheng Village wasn’t severe; although it caused some property damage, there were no reports of casualties. So the situation was still optimistic. Therefore, logically speaking, this incident shouldn’t have escalated so quickly in just a few hours.

The bathroom door opened with a click.

Wei Zongjin came out wearing his pajamas, placed the towel he used to dry his hair aside, and got on the bed. He caught sight of Xue Heng’s phone screen and furrowed his brow, snatching the phone away. “Did you find something?”

Xue Heng replied, “This news shouldn’t have spread so quickly.”

“No casualties is the best news. As for the spread of news, it’s the age of information now.” Wei Zongjin’s tone was indifferent, as if he didn’t care about the speed at which the news spread.

However, Xue Heng couldn’t hold back and said, “But you’re in charge of Huacheng Village. If something goes wrong, won’t it implicate you?”

In the past, Xue Heng wouldn’t have thought that such a minor incident would involve Wei Zongjin, who had deep roots and great influence. But now that the Wei family was facing a bit of trouble and Wei Zongjin had just taken over as the head of Huacheng without firmly establishing himself, if something were to happen now, it wouldn’t have a significant impact on Wei Zongjin’s development, but it would cause a lot of trouble.

And troubles come in different sizes.

Wei Zongjin lowered his gaze. “A new official will set three fires. Before I even start the first fire, they can’t wait to see how I’ll burn everything down.”

Xue Heng’s heart shook.

Is this old man confiding in him?

“What are you planning to do then?” Xue Heng asked, but Wei Zongjin only gave a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. There was no amusement in his eyes, and he did not answer Xue Heng’s question.

Chapter 14

One bed, two men, both gay

If they didn’t do anything in the middle of the night, they would truly be wasting this beautiful moment—the perfect season for a passionate fire.

In reality, they didn’t do anything.

Xue Heng, who had constipation and a nosebleed in the morning, stuffed tissue paper into his nose, splashed cold water on his face, and didn’t even have breakfast. He drove his car and went to the hospital in distress.

The doctor pushed his glasses up and prescribed some medication with a meaningful tone. “Young people have a lot of anger. You need to vent it properly. Drink plenty of water when you get home.”

Xue Heng nodded, took the medical card, went to the payment window on the first floor, and then waited for his medication.

“Why are you here?”

Upon hearing the words, Xue Heng instinctively stiffened, turned around, and saw Qiao Anbang standing in front of him, seemingly appearing out of nowhere. Xue Heng subtly took a step back, keeping a noticeable distance, and said with a touch of aloofness, “Hmm, why are you here too?”

Qiao Anbang’s expression darkened. “I came with Su Yin. She suddenly felt unwell.”

Xue Heng smiled insincerely, his eyes devoid of any amusement. “Right, during the early stages of pregnancy, one needs to take good care to avoid accidents.”

Qiao Anbang looked at him. “Are you angry?”

“Isn’t it natural for me to be angry?” Xue Heng sneered coldly. “Am I supposed to be happy for you guys?”

Unexpectedly, Xue Heng displayed such an aggressive attitude. Qiao Anbang, who was usually gentle, couldn’t help but frown. “Why be like this? I know you can’t let go, but you said you didn’t want to wait for me. Now, who can you blame?”

Xue Heng looked at him coldly, heard his name being called at the window, and turned to get his medication. Once he had it, he was ready to leave.

Qiao Anbang didn’t expect him to leave so abruptly. He subconsciously caught up with him but heard Xue Heng say without turning back, “Your woman is still waiting for you upstairs. Don’t keep her waiting.”

Men and women are different. Men make decisive choices, while women accumulate disappointments before choosing to leave mercilessly.

And Xue Heng was obviously one of those outstanding men who made decisive choices and severed emotional ties with a swift blade.

Qiao Anbang, who had initially planned to catch up with him, paused upon hearing his words. His eyes were filled with complexity, but he didn’t actually chase after him.

As soon as he turned around, Qiao Anbang felt a chilling gaze firmly fixed on him. He shivered and followed the gaze, only to see Wei Zongjin standing not far away, accompanied by several government officials.

National Security Bureau personnel?

Qiao Anbang recognized the man who had been staring at him from a distance as the man Xue Heng brought home last time. He had suspected that the man was Xue Heng’s lover after their breakup, but he didn’t have any evidence. However, now it seemed that even if the man wasn’t Xue Heng’s lover, their relationship was definitely not simple.

But he never expected this man to be from the National Security Bureau, and his status wasn’t low either.

Secretary Li couldn’t help but ask in confusion, “Deputy Director?”

Wei Zongjin withdrew his gaze and said, “Let’s go and see the injured residents.”

Secretary Li nodded, briefly explaining the damages caused by the fire in Chengzhong Village last night. His expression was solemn and serious. He also knew that if the handling of the Chengzhong Village fire wasn’t done well, it would likely bring a lot of trouble to Wei Zongjin.

Thinking of this, Secretary Li couldn’t help but frown.

Some people really went too far.

When the oppressive and chilly gaze moved away, Qiao Anbang inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the figure of Xue Heng leaving, laden with heavy thoughts, and after a long while, he slowly walked upstairs with a heavy step.

That man’s identity was not simple.
