"I'm Xiao Xue's close sister, and since you saved Xiao Xue you're my friend. Since we're all friends, letting you touch isn't like asking you to spend the night. What have I got to lose? Go ahead, touch!" Zhang Jing said with a smile blooming like a flower.
"You're the one who said it, so I'm really going to touch!" Zhang Xiaohao said solemnly.
"Go on then, touch!" Zhang Jing said.
Zhang Xiaohao was unapologetic, reasoning that if a woman wasn't afraid, why should he, a man, be afraid? Besides, there was nothing to lose, so why not touch?
At that moment, Zhang Xiaohao reached out with his right hand and touched her.
Seeing this, Zhang Jing's eyes brightened, and a sly smile flashed deep in her eyes, thinking, "Dare to touch me and you're dead!"
Her right foot shot up like lightning, carrying a gust of wind, and kicked towards Zhang Xiaohao's chest.
Zhang Jing was very confident; with her black belt tenth-degree skills, taking down this young man whose hair hadn't fully grown was a piece of cake.
However, what happened next almost made her jaw drop.
Zhang Xiaohao frowned, casually extended his left hand, caught Zhang Jing's incoming right foot in his grasp, and with a strong pull, he forcefully pulled her body towards him,
"You go die!" Zhang Jing roared as she swung her left hand toward Zhang Xiaohao's head.
At that, Zhang Xiaohao let go of her hand, and his body swiftly moved backwards.
Without Zhang Xiaohao's support, Zhang Jing immediately lost her balance, fell with a thump, and sat on the ground, gritting her teeth in pain.
"Team leader, are you alright? Since these criminals are already subdued, we should hurry back," an old police officer said.
"Hmph! You just wait, kid; I won't let this go so easily," Zhang Jing glowered fiercely at Zhang Xiaohao, walked over to Cheng Tianxue, held her jade hand, and cautiously said while watching Zhang Xiaohao, "Xiao Xue, this guy obviously is no good. You mustn't be deceived by him. I suspect this entire damsel-in-distress act was staged by him. Be careful."
"Yes, I will," Cheng Tianxue nodded seriously.
"Let's take them and go!" After saying that, Zhang Jing gave Zhang Xiaohao a challenging look and led her group away.
Zhang Xiaohao touched his nose and smiled bitterly, thinking sometimes being too handsome could indeed be a mistake.
"Zhang Xiaohao, right? Come with me!" After Zhang Jing left, Cheng Tianxue dropped a phrase and, swinging her seductive hips, walked outside.
"Xue'er, where are you going? And don't go alone into desolate alleys like this again; it's dangerous," Zhang Xiaohao said, watching her enticing walk.
"Shut your mouth! Zhang Xiaohao, I warn you, though we are nominally husband and wife, it's only due to circumstances. From now on, please call me Cheng Tianxue, not Xue'er. We aren't that close! And don't meddle in my affairs. Even if you do, you can't control me!" Cheng Tianxue said coldly.
"You are my wife, Zhang Xiaohao's woman, even if only for a year, we are still legally husband and wife," Zhang Xiaohao stated assertively.
"You... you're infuriating me." Leaving these words behind, Cheng Tianxue stormed off towards her Porsche 911.
After getting into the car and seeing Zhang Xiaohao still standing outside, she felt infuriated and barked with a cold face, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get in!"
"Ah! Where are we going?" Zhang Xiaohao asked, puzzled.
"To register for marriage!" Cheng Tianxue said through gritted teeth.
"Isn't this moving a bit too fast?" Zhang Xiaohao touched his nose and got into the car.
Hearing his words, Cheng Tianxue, with a dark expression, barely resisted the urge to kick this guy out of the car and started driving towards the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Once they arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, the two completed the procedures, and only the fee for the certificate was left. Seeing Zhang Xiaohao spacing out, Cheng Tianxue coldly said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pay the fee to get the certificate!"
"Well, all my money was spent on the travel expenses, and I'm broke," Zhang Xiaohao said awkwardly.
This time descending the mountain, Master Old Ghost had only given him a ticket to Nanhua City, some hard steamed buns, and a bit of pickled vegetables, nothing else.
"Such a beautiful flower and yet to be spoiled by a pile of cow dung."
"Tell me about it! Having such a gorgeous wife and not even having the money for the registration fee!"
"You guys don't get it! Because cow dung is nutritious! It's valuable, that's why it's attractive!"
...
Hearing the murmurs around her, Cheng Tianxue's face turned even colder, and she quickly pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, placed it on the table, and said, "Keep the change!"
She took the marriage certificate and left quickly.
She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, Zhang Xiaohao would infuriate her even more.
Zhang Zihao touched his nose and gave a helpless smile. To think that internationally he was notorious, a War God feared in the underworld, and now he was being scorned by his own wife.
Seeing Cheng Tianxue's figure about to disappear, Zhang Xiaohao quickly followed her.
Once in the car, Cheng Tianxue threw him their marriage certificate and said, "Zhang Xiaohao, listen carefully now. Although we are legally married, from now on, we must sleep apart. Without my permission, you are not allowed to step into my room, neither harboring any improper thoughts! Nor are you to reveal our relationship in front of others. If you dare to break any of these rules, let me tell you, you're dead!"
Having said that, Cheng Tianxue drove away.
Half an hour later.
A fiery-red Porsche 911 parked at the Qianjiale Shopping Plaza, the largest in Nanhua City.
A security guard scurried over sycophantically and opened the car door.
That pair of expressive eyes seemed to say, "Handsome guy, beautiful lady, where's my tip?"
Cheng Tianxue pointed at Zhang Xiaohao and, with a frosty face, walked towards the shopping plaza.
The guard faltered, walked over to Zhang Xiaohao, bowed his head and twiddled his fingers, as if to say, "Handsome guy, my tip?"
Zhang Xiaohao was startled, then snapped back to reality, patted the guard on the shoulder, and praised, "Your service attitude is really good here! Keep it up, I have high hopes for you!"
Having said that, Zhang Xiaohao followed Cheng Tianxue into the shopping plaza.
"Broke-ass! Gold-digger! No money just say so, why act all high and mighty?" the guard muttered under his breath as he watched Zhang Xiaohao walk away.
Once inside the shopping plaza, Zhang Xiaohao said puzzledly, "Xue'er, what are we doing here?"
"Zhang Xiaohao, I'm warning you again, don't call me Xue'er. I'm not familiar with you! As for why we're here, it's to buy you two sets of clothes, so you don't embarrass me with your poor look when we meet my grandfather later," Cheng Tianxue said coldly.
