Flash Marriage Chapter 17 and Chapter 18

Chapter 17

It wasn’t until noon, at twelve o’clock, that Xue Heng finally arrived to meet with Wei Zongjin.

Wei Zongjin stood at the entrance of the reception room, glanced at Xue Heng with an emotionless gaze, and said, “Let’s go.”

Xue Heng couldn’t gauge Wei Zongjin’s attitude, but he knew that in the National Security Bureau, he had to maintain a certain distance from Wei Zongjin. It wasn’t just for the sake of their relationship as men, but also for his own good.

This time Secretary Li didn’t follow them, but when Xue Heng sat in Wei Zongjin’s car, he knew that there was another car following them at a not-too-distant distance.

Xue Heng instinctively looked at Wei Zongjin, who was looking at a roll of documents in his hand, with an indifferent expression.

Feeling a bit awkward, Xue Heng thought to himself that since the car behind them didn’t have any malicious intentions, and Wei Zongjin didn’t seem inclined to explain, he didn’t need to make himself uncomfortable for no reason.

“If the Xue family gets into trouble because of the oven, what will you do?” Wei Zongjin looked at him, his deep eyes filled with complex emotions that couldn’t be deciphered. “You’re still part of the family.”

Xue Heng waved his hand, not considering his status as the young master at all. “I haven’t taken a single penny from them in recent years. I don’t need the title of young master. But they have earned ill-gotten money these past two years, and now that trouble has arisen, they have to pay a price. Otherwise, it won’t go over well in Huacheng.”

“Don’t do porcelain work with a diamond-like heart.” He had said this before, but no one took it to heart. Moreover, Xue Guozhi had earned quite a bit of money selling ovens over the years and hadn’t suffered any losses.

Wei Zongjin’s expression softened. “You’ve changed.”

He remembered that before Xue Heng’s mother passed away, there were many interactions between the Wei and Xue families. At that time, when the twenty-year-old Wei Zongjin first saw Xue Heng, he was just a porcelain doll calling him “Wei gege” and was adorable, innocent, and full of admiration for the intelligent Wei gege.

But now, Xue Heng had changed quite a bit.

Xue Heng pursed his lips, about to speak, but then the waiter pushed a cart over, placing the dishes they had just ordered on the table one by one. His determination to speak was shattered once again.

Wei Zongjin calmly sipped his soup and casually said, “I saw you at the hospital yesterday. Have you reconciled with that man?”

Startled, Xue Heng dropped his chopsticks to the ground. “He’s married now. I can’t go and intrude. It was just a chance encounter.”

He didn’t want to bring up anything about Qiao Anbang in front of Wei Zongjin.

Unaware of why the usually cold and indifferent Wei Zongjin would pay extra attention to his relationship with Qiao Anbang, Xue Heng finally reacted, “You went to the hospital yesterday?”

Realizing his slip, he continued, “No wonder I saw reporters at the hospital entrance yesterday. You were probably there too. Are there many injured?” Otherwise, Wei Zongjin, who had no pain or injury, wouldn’t have appeared at the hospital for no reason.

Wei Zongjin nodded without saying much.

Xue Heng was touched by his own intelligence and happily placed a peeled shrimp into Wei Zongjin’s bowl.

Xue Heng forced a smile and dared not look at Wei Zongjin again.

He cursed himself for being so impulsive.

***

The Xue family.

Xue Guozhi waited anxiously, but he didn’t receive any call from his “son-in-law” Wei Zongjin. He became increasingly worried and muttered, “Did Xue Heng forget to talk to Wei Zongjin?”

His young mistress stood beside him, holding their child and occasionally patting the baby’s back. She couldn’t help but advise Xue Guozhi not to worry, but deep down, she cursed Xue Heng for being clueless.

However…

He didn’t know if the people his eldest brother had found had managed to capture Xue Heng. If they hadn’t and instead made Xue Heng cautious, things would be even worse.

Xue Guozhi ignored her and became increasingly agitated. As the night fell, when Wei Zongjin still hadn’t shown up at their door, and there wasn’t even an explanatory phone call, Xue Guozhi couldn’t help but feel furious.

That little brat Xue Heng must have acted against his will!

Chapter 18

Xue Heng couldn’t eat anymore and ended his meal with a distracted gaze.

Wei Zongjin’s deep gaze was fixed on him.

Summoning his courage, Xue Heng said, “I’ve said everything I wanted to. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back.”

However, Wei Zongjin calmly responded, “Since you’re married now, it’s time to settle down.”

Leaving behind an ambiguous statement, Wei Zongjin stood up first, not even glancing at Xue Heng’s frozen expression, and walked away with his long, powerful legs.

Xue Heng couldn’t understand how he managed to come up with the description of “long and powerful legs” while looking at a pair of trousers. After watching Wei Zongjin leave, he finally turned his head.

The air suddenly became heavy and stagnant.

Xue Heng could tell from Wei Zongjin’s words that he was expressing dissatisfaction in a subtle manner. It could be about his late-night reckless driving, which would involve the already troubled Wei family, or it could be about his complicated relationship with his persistent ex-boyfriend, Qiao Anbang.

With a thoughtful mind, Xue Heng walked to the front desk to settle the bill, but he was gently informed by the receptionist that the bill had already been paid by a man in a suit.

Clicking his tongue, Xue Heng put away his wallet, thinking that the old man was unexpectedly considerate.

However, Xue Heng’s good mood quickly dissipated when he encountered two black cars deliberately blocking his way on the road back home.

These two black cars were discreet, reducing their visibility in the busy streets. They blended in, but as soon as Xue Heng’s car entered a less crowded street, they became restless.

One car overtook Xue Heng’s car and blocked him from the front, while the other car blocked his car from behind, seamlessly coordinating their actions.

Xue Heng slammed on the brakes and, before the other party could react, quickly opened the car door and unlocked the trunk, taking out a yellow-painted portable electric chainsaw.

The group of people who had approached with a sinister smile froze in their tracks.

And so, five or six burly men who missed their chance could only stand in place, helplessly watching as Xue Heng switched on the power button of the yellow chainsaw. They regretted their actions:

Zhi zhi zhi, zhi zhi zhi, zhi zhi zhi.

When the yellow-painted portable electric chainsaw’s power button was pressed, the yellow chainsaw in Xue Heng’s hand restlessly spun its blade.

The five or six burly men standing in front of him became a bit at a loss.

“Young Master Xue, put down the chainsaw, let’s talk.”

“Dream on.” Xue Heng raised the chainsaw with a ferocious expression, the sound of the gears sending chills down their spines. He threatened, “You parked your cars 500 meters away from me. Otherwise, I won’t be polite.”

He couldn’t bring himself to say words like “we go down together,” but Xue Heng had no qualms about using the chainsaw as a threat.

The other side dared not make any sudden moves.

Xue Heng could probably sense the silent agreement hidden beneath the silence of these people. So, he struggled to carry the chainsaw, walked around to the front of the car, swiftly turned off the power switch, got into the car, and closed the door.

Stepping on the accelerator, Xue Heng, with his impressive driving skills, swiftly zoomed past the people.

“Boss, what should we do now that he got away?”

“What can we do? Report the truth when we go back.” The stout and sturdy boss frowned. His sailboat could withstand strong winds and rough seas, but he never expected to capsize in Xue Heng’s hidden channel.

But it made sense, who could have expected the pampered Xue family’s young master to carry dangerous items with him.

“Damn it!”
