I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 148 - Choosing a Marriage Alliance

Chapter 148: Chapter 148 Choosing a Marriage Alliance

Wen Zhuo returned home, and the girl in the white sweater came out to greet him, “Brother, is Brother Shiyan really back?”

Wen Zhuo absentmindedly nodded, “Yeah.”

Wen Su smiled and said, “Bro, last night I saw Mom and the second lady of the Fu Family having dinner together. Could it be that your marriage to Fu Qin is drawing near?”

Wen Zhuo frowned deeply, “Fu Qin will not agree to an arranged marriage.”

“That’s not necessarily true,” Wen Su said lightly with a smile. “I heard that Fu Qin has just broken up with his boyfriend and was deeply hurt; he’s agreed to the arranged marriage.”

Wen Zhuo frowned and went back into the quiet study.

...

Inside the mature and professional-looking study was a small purple rabbit charm.

Wen Zhuo reached out to touch the purple rabbit charm and laughed at himself.

Wen Su pushed open the door to the study and, upon seeing the purple rabbit charm in Wen Zhuo’s hand, said, “Bro, you’re an adult, yet you’re still playing with Star Dailu rabbit charms? Isn’t that childish?”

Wen Zhuo placed the little rabbit bag charm aside, “What do you want?”

Wen Su asked with a light smile, “I wanted to ask if you saw Little Xi sister earlier? Isn’t she beautiful?”

“Quite beautiful.”

…

It wasn’t until ten o’clock at night that Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan had finished tidying up the bedroom.

After Yuan Xi had washed up, she lay on the bed and suddenly thought of the time when Grandpa Liang had been hospitalized.

At that time, there was a national internet gaming forum in City A, and Yuan Xi accompanied Gu Hanchen to join.

After the evening’s party ended, Yuan Xi went to visit Grandpa Liang at the hospital. The hospital she chose for Grandpa Liang was the best cardiovascular public hospital in City A, where finding a parking space at night was difficult.

After circling around several times, Yuan Xi finally found a car with its lights on, thinking it was about to leave, so she drove over to wait.

Seeing that the car did not move, Yuan Xi decided to go over and ask. When she did, she saw a man asleep inside the vehicle. Yuan Xi initially thought he was just taking a nap in the car, as it was normal for people who come to the hospital to sleep in their cars…

But it wasn’t until a car across the street kept honking its horn and the man inside didn’t wake up that Yuan Xi felt something was off.

If he was asleep, the honking from the car behind should have woken him up.

Yuan Xi suspected that the man inside might have been poisoned by carbon monoxide from sleeping in the car with the air conditioning on, and so she sought out the hospital security.

After the security called the police, Yuan Xi directly smashed the car window to rush the man inside for emergency treatment.

Yuan Xi then saw a parking spot, parked her car, and was about to visit Grandpa, but the security insisted she wait for the man who had passed out to wake up.

Because that man’s car was a Cullinan, just the cost of repairing the smashed window could equal a year’s salary for the security guard.

Having worked in the hospital for a long time, the security had seen many “the farmer and the snake” and “Gongshu and the wolf” kind of stories, so he didn’t dare let Yuan Xi leave.

Yuan Xi simply decided to see her good deed through and went to the emergency room to wait for the man to wake up.

After the man woke up and learned that he had been carbon monoxide poisoned and that Yuan Xi had smashed his window, he naturally did not hold a grudge.

Yuan Xi had long been fuzzy on the man’s appearance since it was a brief encounter, but she did have some impression of the man’s last name, because the surname Wen was unusual, and she had never seen it before.

Today, having seen Wen Zhuo and found him familiar, and both having the surname Wen, she now remembered that it must have been him.

Yuan Xi turned to Huo Shiyan and said, “I remember where I’ve seen Wen Zhuo before. Three years ago, when my grandpa came to City A for surgery, I encountered Wen Zhuo who had been poisoned by carbon monoxide in the hospital.”

Huo Shiyan said, “So you’re his lifesaver?”

Yuan Xi laughed lightly, “Something like that.”

“At that time, Gu Hanchen had asked me to buy a Star Dailu charm for him, and because I was helping others, I lost that Star Dailu summer limited-edition charm, and Gu Hanchen scolded me thoroughly for it.”

Huo Shiyan, holding Yuan Xi, said, “Next time I see Gu Hanchen, I’ll give him a scolding too.”

Yuan Xi chuckled lightly, with less than two months until childbirth, her sleep at night was already restless.

When she moved to the new residence, her insomnia became somewhat severe.

The real hardship of pregnancy was right here.

She had just managed to fall asleep when her calves would cramp painfully; she had gained a whole twenty pounds or more, her legs and feet were swollen, and it was difficult to fall back asleep—walking came with a strong sensation of bearing down.

Huo Shiyuan, seeing Yuan Xi’s insomnia, asked, “Why don’t you stop working for now? The New Year is coming soon, and after the baby is born and the holiday is over, we can talk about it then?”

Yuan Xi understood that with her severe insomnia, it was impossible to continue working during the day without catching up on some sleep.

Indeed, everything would have to wait until after the New Year and the birth of the child.

Upon thinking this, perhaps due to the absence of work-related anxiety, Yuan Xi quickly fell asleep.

However, she woke up again around five or six in the morning, and couldn’t fall back asleep no matter what. Taking advantage of the fresh morning air, she thought about taking a walk around the neighborhood.

Seeing Huo Shiyuan still asleep, Yuan Xi didn’t wake him; he had stayed up quite late with her the night before.

However, the noise Yuan Xi made getting out of bed still woke Huo Shiyuan. Glancing at the time on his watch, he said, “You’re awake so early?”

“Yeah, can’t sleep anymore,” Yuan Xi replied. “I want to go for a walk, breathe some fresh air.”

“Okay,” Huo Shiyuan said as he got out of bed.

In December, ACity already required donning down jackets. But Yuan Xi, due to her pregnancy, didn’t feel cold and was comfortable in just an overcoat.

The greenery in Yunsen Court was commendable, and the scenery along the walking paths was no less beautiful, with the shrubs and other plants even in winter lush and green.

Huo Shiyuan walked slowly by Yuan Xi’s side and said, “We’ll ask the doctor at the next prenatal check-up if we can schedule a c-section in advance so that you can suffer a few days less.”

Yuan Xi chuckled, saying, “If it can be full-term, full-term is definitely better. After suffering for so long, a few more days don’t matter, but…”

“No matter if it’s a boy or a girl, I won’t have another child.”

Huo Shiyuan replied, “Hmm.”

Yuan Xi could now feel the baby kicking, and by placing her hand on her belly, she could feel the small feet of the child inside.

After noticing this, Yuan Xi took Huo Shiyuan’s hand and placed it on her protruding belly.

Yuan Xi saw an indescribable joy on Huo Shiyuan’s normally composed face.

After their walk, the two of them returned home.

They were due for lunch at the Huo Family’s old residence today, so after breakfast, they drove there.

The old residence wasn’t far from Yunsen Court.

Today, during her visit to the Huo Family’s old residence, Yuan Xi was mostly sitting. Xiao Shihuo had also been strictly forbidden by Granny Huo from approaching Yuan Xi until the child was born.

Xiao Shihuo dared to act spoiled in front of Yuan Xi, but he seldom acted spoiled in the Huo Family’s home, behaving very well.

Before lunch, Fu Qin arrived at the Huo Family’s old residence, and upon seeing Yuan Xi, she smiled and said, “I haven’t seen you for two months, and you’ve put on quite a bit of weight?”

Yuan Xi smiled lightly, “I’ve gained almost twenty-five pounds.”

Yuan Xi had no anxiety about her figure; she just hoped for a healthy child. If she really needed to lose weight, there would be time after the child’s birth.

Fu Qin turned to Huo Shiyuan who was approaching and said, “Oh, I am getting engaged to Wen Zhuo!”

Yuan Xi, drinking water, turned to look at Fu Qin upon hearing this, “You broke up with your young boyfriend?”

Fu Qin: “Let’s not talk about it. At twenty-seven years old, I was actually deceived by an eighteen-year-old boy. I had thought he was at least a third-year college student, just about five years younger than me.

Little did I know, he just took his college entrance exams this year, making him nine years younger than me. When we were together, he hadn’t even taken the exams yet; eating such young grass, I felt almost criminal…

I don’t trust any man now. It’s better to enter into a marriage of convenience. With the ongoing internal strife in the Fu Family, it’s too easy to attract trouble. I’d better secure a marriage agreement soon.”
