Chapter 2 The key to villa

Ye Xuan watched as Huo Jianchen drove away, noticing the "B" emblem with two wings on the back of his car. It looked like a BYD. Wasn't he a high-ranking executive? Shouldn't he be driving a BMW or a Mercedes-Benz? But being wealthy and low-key was suitable for living.

As long as the man wasn't extravagant, Ye Xuan felt like a small nurse marrying a corporate executive was a bit of reaching, and he was quite handsome too. Just thinking about it made her blush.

What was she thinking about? They barely knew each other, and now they were getting their marriage certificate just to escape their original families. Whether they could make it in the future was still uncertain.

After getting into the car, Huo's grandmother looked around, "You're alone, where's your wife?"

Huo Jianchen's voice was cold.

"Took the bus."

"What?"

Huo's grandmother almost hit her grandson with her hand. No wonder he couldn't find a girlfriend at his age; how could he treat people like this?

"Don't you know you should send her off? She came all the way here to get married; at least you should escort her back."

Huo Jianchen's hands, with prominent knuckles, firmly gripped the steering wheel.

"I'm busy."

Huo's grandmother was so angry she couldn't speak, but the car had already driven far, and there was nothing she could do. She could only call Ye Xuan later.

"Did you give her the key?"

Huo's grandmother asked, and Huo Jianchen thought for a moment before honestly replying, "Forgot."

"Stop the car, stop the car."

Huo Jianchen refused, so Huo's grandmother threatened him, "If you don't stop, I'll jump out. You're married now; are you going to let her stay at her parents' house?"

Huo Jianchen stepped on the brake and stopped the car by the side of the road.

"I've already agreed to you and got the marriage certificate for her, but we can't live together. It's impossible."

Who knows if this woman found out about their family's situation and came for money. He had seen many women like her, which was why he had never had a girlfriend even at the age of marriage.

If she was attracted to the reputation of the wealthiest family in Kyoto, such a woman was not worthy of entering their Huo family's door.

Two minutes later, Ye Xuan saw Huo Jianchen's car turning back. Huo's grandmother got out of the car, and Huo Jianchen followed.

"Grandma?"

She thought they had left. Huo's grandmother glared at Huo Jianchen.

"This is the key to my villa. From today onwards, you'll move in with me."

Huo Jianchen took out an exquisite key, and Ye Xuan was taken aback. She was about to refuse when Huo's grandmother snatched the key and stuffed it into her arms, then dragged her aside.

"A Xuan, Jianchen is a pitiful child. He's never had parents to love him since he was born, and he doesn't understand anything about women. Let me tell you secretly; he's extremely fastidious and still a virgin. Just help Grandma out, no matter what, live with him for a while. If you start to like him, just marry him directly, let Grandma hold a big grandson. If you don't like him, I promise you, after three months, you can divorce him if you want. I'll give him a considerable amount of alimony and a house for you, at least to ensure you have a worry-free life."

Ye Xuan's face was serious, "Grandma, I don't need it. Although my family conditions aren't good, I didn't come here for money—"

Grandma interrupted Ye Xuan, "Grandma knows you're a good child. I know you didn't come for our money. Just help Grandma out. If you can't start to like Jianchen after three months, you can do whatever you want, okay?"

Huo's grandmother's quiet plea made Ye Xuan feel sorry. She reluctantly accepted the key, and on the other side, Huo Jianchen was already very impatient.

Huo's grandmother's soft plea made Ye Xuan unable to bear it, so she reluctantly accepted the key and promised. On the other side, Huo Jianchen was already quite impatient.

"Grandma, the car's here. I'll be leaving now, let's keep in touch."

She spotted the bus and hurried to the flower shop. Grandma waved with a smile, "I've sent Jianchen's WeChat ID to you, remember to add him."

"Okay."

Ye Xuan's voice drifted from afar. She touched the marriage certificate she had just received, and the key in her hand was hot to the touch.

Today, she could finally move out, no longer having to endure her parents' sarcastic remarks and the immense pressure to marry someone and provide a 300,000 yuan dowry for her brother's wedding.

She went to the flower shop first. It was her day off in the afternoon, so she could help out at the shop. Every time she worked, Li Xiaolin was left alone to manage the shop, which made her feel guilty.

"Aren't you supposed to have something important today? Why are you back so soon?"

Li Xiaolin thought Ye Xuan would be staying late, but she returned at three o'clock?

"Yeah, Xiaolin, can you close the shop earlier today? I want you to help me move some stuff."

"Move stuff?"

Li Xiaolin was startled, "Are you running away from home or did you rent a place?"

Thinking about her own home, Li Xiaolin felt it was quite cozy. Who could endure being asked for money by their own parents like a "support brother demon"?

Ye Xuan took out the marriage certificate, "I got married. I'm moving out tonight."

Li Xiaolin's mind froze for a few seconds.

"You, married? Is it true? So fast?"

Li Xiaolin took Ye Xuan's marriage certificate, and upon opening it, she saw the photo of Ye Xuan and Huo Jianchen, which was solid proof. Li Xiaolin was completely dumbfounded.

She was afraid Ye Xuan was being deceived, but the man in the photo was too handsome, with deep eyes and an aura that could be felt even through a piece of paper. He seemed like a top-tier celebrity from a TV drama.

"Where did you find this husband?"

Ye Xuan took the marriage certificate back, her expression less excited than Li Xiaolin's.

"Remember the Huo grandmother I told you about? This is her grandson. He didn't seem like a bad person, so I married him. Grandma Huo even gave me the key to her grandson's house and asked me to move in with him. My brother is getting married soon, so it's perfect for me to leave now."

Li Xiaolin swallowed hard. Wow, Ye Xuan really got married fast.

"But aren't you afraid of being deceived?"

Ye Xuan smiled sweetly. "Deceive me? I don't have any wealth to deceive, at most, it's just some flirtation. But with my husband's looks, I think I'm not losing out."

Li Xiaolin's mouth twitched. "As long as you're happy."

But it seemed like she really wasn't losing out; Li Xiaolin even felt a bit envious. Mustering up some courage, she joked, "Does your husband have any brothers or anything? Maybe you could introduce me?"

Ye Xuan pushed her, "I'm not close to him yet. Besides Grandma Huo and him, I haven't met anyone else from his family. According to Grandma Huo, he's the eldest, and there are about ten siblings below him. I don't know if any of them are married. I'll ask you about it in the future."

Li Xiaolin chuckled, "I was just kidding with you, and you took it seriously. You're really bold, marrying someone without even knowing their background. Well, forget about you, maybe you've struck gold with this one."
