Chapter 30: Fake Marriage?

When Yuan Qi saw that Tang Xiaowei had really cut herself, he was also shocked. Then, he hurriedly ran out of the restaurant.

Huangfu Qiye approached Tang Xiaowei. She was still cutting herself. There was blood continuously flowing out of her neck. The more he looked, the angrier he became.

Damn woman.

Why was she so resistant to being touched by him?

He quickly went forward, grabbed her arm, and forcefully pulled away her palm. The knife also fell to the ground and was kicked far away by him.

He picked up the woman whose neck was bleeding. Seeing that her face was pale and she was still struggling, he lowered his head and warned her coldly, "Don't move, or I'll kill you right here!"

The wound was abnormally painful, and she was still bleeding. This had made the desperate Tang Xiaowei very uncomfortable, but she didn't succeed in committing suicide, and Huangfu Qiye even stopped her.

Now that he was threatening her, she could only close her eyes in pain and didn't dare to struggle anymore.

She had never hurt herself with a knife like this. After she cut herself just now, although she didn't regret it, when Huangfu Qiye approached her, she was in so much pain that she couldn't move, and she couldn't refuse his approach. That was why he had easily stopped her suicide attempt.

Huangfu Qiye carried her and walked out very quickly.

His cold and mocking voice rang out, "Didn't you just not want to be touched by me? Do you think that you are so attractive just because you are a fairy from the sky? I promised you that I wouldn't touch you. Don't be so desperate here in the future, or I will send someone to the hospital to kill your parents immediately!"

His expression turned cold. This time, he was really angry.

Wasn't she just a woman? He did not believe that he really only had feelings for her. Perhaps it was because he had not found enough women before and had yet to meet someone who had feelings for him.

Since that was the case, he didn't want to continue entangling with her. If she really committed suicide here, then it would be a bit troublesome.

Although Tang Xiaowei closed her eyes, she didn't faint. She heard his words clearly and could only endure the pain and say, "Alright, as long as you don't touch me, I won't cause any trouble. But I have something to ask you. How long will our fake marriage last?"

Fake marriage?

Hearing this, Huangfu Qiye's expression became even more unsightly.

The marriage he said was to get a marriage certificate, and the wedding was also to be held.

This woman actually said that it was a fake marriage.

Damn it!

He suddenly let go of her, and an uncontrollable anger rose in his heart. He told Tang Xiaowei to stand properly, put her arm around her shoulder, and said coldly, "One year."

Since she said it was a fake marriage, then fine, he would give her a fake marriage.

There was no need to prepare for a marriage certificate, wedding, or anything else!

It actually sounded so long that Tang Xiaowei didn't know what to say.

She stood and reached out to cover the bleeding wound, her face pale.

Huangfu Qiye pushed her to the side and said, "Let Yuan Shan take you down to treat your wound. If you want to stay here for a year, don't kill yourself!"

After he said that, he left angrily.

Tang Xiaowei couldn't stand properly and was pushed to the side. Fortunately, Yuan Shan quickly held her, otherwise, she would have fallen to the ground.

Yuan Shan held her and carefully walked upstairs. "Miss Tang, let me help you upstairs. The doctor will be here soon."

"Okay, thank you." Tang Xiaowei nodded weakly.

...

Tang Xiaowei had been recuperating in the forest manor for three days. The injuries on her legs and some abrasions on her body had already healed. Only the wound on her neck was still covered with gauze.

In these three days, she had not seen Huangfu Qiye.

After he told her that night that he would not touch her, he left the manor and never came back.

That morning, Tang Xiaowei woke up in the guest room.

She washed up, put on her clothes, and walked out.

Because she had been recovering from her injuries for the past few days, no one asked her to learn the etiquette Huangfu Qiye mentioned.

However, the doctor said yesterday that the wound on her neck was not deep to begin with, and it was already recovering. Her legs had also recovered, so Yuan Shan told her yesterday that from today onwards, she had to learn etiquette.

Tang Xiaowei naturally would not refuse.

Anyway, she would only stay here for a year. No matter what she did, she should be able to pass this year very quickly.

In the morning, under the guidance of a professional teacher, she learned flower arrangement and the tea ceremony.

In the afternoon, she learned how to sit and walk.

After dinner, she thought she could rest at night, but the teacher told her to learn how to sing.

Tang Xiaowei widened her eyes and looked at Yuan Shan and the teacher in disbelief. "Why don't you rest at night and learn how to sing?"

The teacher smiled but didn't say anything.

Yuan Shan explained, "Because the old madam likes to listen to opera. Young master said that after you learn how to sing, you can go see the old madam and sing for her. Only then will the old madam be happy."

"The old madam?" Tang Xiaowei had only heard that the Huangfu Qiye family was very rich and was a super wealthy family. However, she had only ever seen Huangfu Qiye before.

She had never seen the rest of his family, so she did not know how many people there were in his family.

At that moment, when she heard Yuan Shan mention the old madam, she subconsciously asked, "How many people are there in his family?"

Yuan Shan was surprised. "Miss Tang, are you talking about young master?''

Tang Xiaowei nodded. Wasn't this obvious?

Yuan Shan was a little embarrassed, but she still opened her mouth and said, "Currently, there are only young master and the old madam. The old madam is young master's grandmother."

"Why are there only the two of them?" Tang Xiaowei felt strange. The Huangfu family only had Huangfu Qiye and his grandmother. What about his parents? Could it be that there were no brothers or sisters in his family?

"It's not convenient for this subordinate to tell you. If you want to know, you can ask young master when he comes back." Yuan Shan did not dare to say more.

Seeing this, Tang Xiaowei could not ask anymore. She could only obediently say to the teacher, "Then let's go learn singing. I've only seen it on TV before, I haven't had the chance to learn it yet."

She thought of learning singing for the sake of an old man, so she didn't find it annoying.

It seemed that Huangfu Qiye was still a little filial.

She guessed that perhaps he had suddenly kidnapped her to marry him, and perhaps it was also for his grandmother.

Otherwise, a successful, handsome, and rich man like him would definitely not casually marry an ordinary woman like her.

In a classical room, a large stage was set up.

Under the teacher's guidance, Tang Xiaowei studied for more than an hour and felt particularly tired.

After all, she had been locked up for the entire day to study.

Just as she was pinching her throat and learning to sing with her teacher, she suddenly heard laughter coming from behind her.

Tang Xiaowei was stunned. Previously, there had only been her, her teacher, and Yuan Shan here, and the three of them would not suddenly burst out laughing. So who was laughing now? Moreover, the laughter was filled with sarcasm.

She stopped and turned around to look. She did not expect to see that there were already two people sitting on the seats below the stage.

Huangfu Qiye, who had a cold expression, and a strange woman.
