Marriage of a Sickly Villain and a Fortune Hunter

y heart, and I love him! Just give up!”

After that voice sounded, the surroundings went silent.

Xia Xingchi glanced in fear from the corner of his eye and saw that amidst the sudden farce, Li Chengyuan was the only one sitting to the side calmly.

He continued to drink his tea sedately and looked over with a cool expression after hearing Xia Xingchi’s speech.

Xia Xingchi felt terrified after seeing it.
For a moment, he couldn’t discern the big boss’s thoughts or mood, but a subtle intuition flashed through his mind —

Li Chengyuan was eating this up.

So he bit the bullet and pretended to be calm, continuing in a sonorous voice: “I’m not going, and I don’t agree to call off the engagement.
Because for the rest of my life, it must be Mr.
Li!”

“It was love at first sight! Whether rich or poor, in sickness or in health, nothing can stop me from being with Mr.
Li except death!”

’

“I’m willing!”

As a master of many trades, Xia Xingchi took the classic lines of a wedding master of ceremonies and slightly modified them.
Not only did he recite them with deep feeling, but he also played multiple roles himself.

He automatically substituted the word “Money” for “Mr.
Li” when speaking, and the feelings immediately came from the heart, more sincere than actual gold, comparable to an Oscar-winning actor.

Thanks to Xia Yu, rumors had begun to spread long before the engagement.
Everyone thought they were about to watch an escape-the-marriage drama, but were instead dumbstruck by Xia Xingchi’s staunch and heartfelt attitude.

The brawny man was even more confused.
He even forgot to keep making dainty gestures, stumbling in his act and unable to find the rest of his words.

He had never seen such a thick-skinned person who did not act in accordance with the routine.

It was said that this Xia Xingchi was cowardly, fragile, and had low self-esteem.
But if this was low self-esteem, then what was self-confidence?

Xia Xingchi had guessed correctly, the crazy man’s preferences were truly strange, and he was very pleased by this comedy performance.

Li Chengyuan smiled as if he was finally satisfied, and raised his hand to signal the bodyguards to take the man down and end this farce.

The “wall of nuts”[2] bodyguards in front of him finally moved, and Xia Xingchi breathed a sigh of relief at last.

Although he had thick skin, he had no less of a sense of shame than others.
His face was red when he said these words, but fortunately others only thought he was shy after confessing his affection.

The things that originally should have ensured victory today, whether the covert incitement, the blatant chasing, or even having to stage this farce, all of them failed without exception?!

— Unacceptable, he must not let them take away his opportunity to marry Mr.
Li.
It should be him!

Xia Yu gritted his teeth and made gestures imperceptibly amidst the crowd that meant “price increase” and “must be completed.”

As a result, the previous situation was reversed.
The strongman had thought that the mission was over and was ready to be subdued without a fight, but when he received the signal, for money’s sake, he promptly turned around and began to wrestle with the bodyguards!

The scene became chaotic in an instant, and even Xia Xingchi was taken aback, thinking that rich people really knew how to play.
Had this engagement banquet changed from a bitter drama to a martial arts action movie?

Xia Yu immediately seized the opportunity and went straight into battle.

He rushed forward to hold Xia Xingchi’s hand, still innocent, sincere, and anxious: “Xingchi-ge, we need to work this out, don’t let them fight over you anymore! Even if our family doesn’t want to lose face, you can’t compromise Mr.
Li’s face either, ah!”

He was reasonable and considerate of Mr.
Li and the overall situation, unlike himself, who only provoked rotten love battles and didn’t step forward to stop them.

Xia Xingchi thought to himself that although these words were beautiful, they were all deceptive and empty.
The person was like a teapot letting out steam.

Tilting his head to estimate the thickness of the teapot spirit’s skin, he hard Xia Yu speak again: “Xingchi-ge, even if you think Mr.
Li is not in good health, he has care workers and nurses taking care of him after all, so you definitely don’t need to look after him! Stop making trouble, be sensible and get married.”

The volume of this sentence was so low that others may not hear it, but it just so happened that Li Chengyuan could “accidentally” overhear it from such a distance.

’

The acting was so realistic that those who didn’t know otherwise would really think that the original owner was disgusted with his fiance’s poor health at home day after day.

This statement was consistent with Xia Yu’s previously released rumors: It was said that not only did Xia Xingchi not want to get engaged, but he also prattled on self-importantly, saying that he would not for a moment be a nanny and would never take care of a troublesome, sickly, short-lived seedling.

As soon as those words were spoken, Xia Xingchi’s expression abruptly changed, and his hair stood on end.

— Where is the teapot in front of me? This is essentially a high explosive suicide-style attack!

Xia Yu had clearly already revealed his intentions in the end, and dared to say anything just to cheat him.

He couldn’t accurately estimate the lethality of these words at all, since he didn’t know enough about Li Chengyuan.

“I dislike that he is unhealthy.” This was the crazy villain’s inverse scale, and whoever touched it would be finished.

Xia Xingchi immediately shuddered, and the bloody and terrifying plot in the later part of the novel surfaced involuntarily in his mind.

Just as he was thinking, a cold gaze fell upon him.
Li Chengyuan turned his head slowly and looked over with a blank expression on his face, the whole scene like the terrifying moment in a horror movie when a ghost twists its head around backwards.

Xia Xingchi: ! ?

Boss, ah, we have to be reasonable, I didn’t say this, so why are you staring at me!

As a man of action, Xia Xingchi had always responded very quickly.
He didn’t have much time to think, so he had no choice but to quickly choose the best plan to belatedly salvage the situation.

Behold, he performed a beautiful and skillful standard side kick on the spot.
Caught off guard, Xia Yu, the criminal ringleader, was kicked hard to the ground!

In the wake of Xia Yu’s screams, the martial arts scene over there ended with the bodyguards pinning the strongman to the ground.

Yet more twists and turns were added to the story, and everyone was shocked to see the new sensation of the real and fake young masters fighting in public, thinking to themselves, what sort of lively day is this where hundreds of melons are blooming?[3]

The most shocking person was Xia Xingchi himself.
No matter what, they never thought that someone of Xia Xingchi’s weak and cowardly character would dare to do something so straightforwardly and without hesitation.

This waste was obviously brighter when light shone upon him and seemed like a good person, moving people to tears with his compassionate and willful courtship……had he lost his mind?

Surprisingly, this was not enough, and Xia Xingchi took two steps forward under everyone’s watchful eyes, then boldly and confidently sat on Li Chengyuan’s lap!

 

[1] Eating melons means to watch the drama from the sidelines.
Picture him sitting there casually munching on popcorn and enjoying the show. ⮐

[2] The “wall of nuts” is a defensive plant in the game “Plants vs Zombies,” and can block the zombies so that the plants have more time to attack. ⮐

[3] This likely is a pun on the idiom “a hundred flowers bloom,” which refers to free expression of the arts.
In this case, a hundred melons blooming would mean lots of good entertainment to watch from the sidelines. ⮐
