Marriage Before Love: Mr. Li is Addicted to Wife-Chasing

How does it feel to be alone at one's own wedding? That was the case for Xia Chenxing. Her groom was absent, and she had a rooster for a stand-in. Despite being married for three years, she never met her husband and was everyone's laughing stock and scorned because of that. But so what? No one would know her happiness! Sports cars, mansions, and luxury brands were all hers. She could wear a different set of clothes and jewelry every single day while never running out of money. Most importantly, she did not have to stress herself over procreating! Was there anyone who would not love a life of freedom and indulgence like this one? That is, until one day, she had to break into a private box to avoid some thugs and met a mysterious, cold man... and he had his sights on her. Xia Chenxing: I'm married. My husband will beat you up if you bother me again! The man's advances escalated instead of stopping, leaving Xia Chenxing falling apart from the inside, and she warned him again, "My husband and I love each other very much. Love is stronger than money, and you stand no chance. Give up!"The man appeared even more delighted at her words, and a faint smile appeared on his cold visage. One day, Xia Chenxing was finally pushed over the brink and snapped: Hey! Are you crazy? Why are you stalking a married woman?! Go to the hospital and get checked if there's something wrong with you. And stay away from me! That was when the man finally asked: What's wrong with me stalking my wife? Then, cupping her shocked, dainty face, he said: Good. Now call me 'darling'!

Hearing this, Mrs. Wan burst into tears. She held Xia Chenxing's hand tightly and said, "Director Xia, I really regret it. Even if you didn't come today, I would have gone to the hospital to look for you. I don't trust other people's medical skills. I'll believe you now. To tell you the truth, after your consultation, I went to a few hospitals one after another. Those doctors wanted me to wait a little longer. It was because of this that I was relieved and continued to persevere. In the end, the uterine tumor affected the child and caused her abdomen to fall. Only then did I understand how right your decision was. So Director Xia, can I ask you to operate on me?"

Xia Chenxing said sincerely, "Mrs. Wan, I came to visit because of this matter. I'll take over your surgery next. No matter what, it's Xia Zhixi's fault this time. As a member of the Xia family, I have to make up for her mistake."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wan was so touched that she cried. However, at the same time, she said on behalf of Xia Chenxing, "Director Xia, you're too kind. I know a little about you. Xia Zhiguang was really blind to not dote on such an outstanding daughter like you. He actually let a black-hearted doctor like Xia Zhixi take your place. In the end, if there's a problem, you have to solve it personally. It's really unreasonable! But Dr. Xia, don't worry. Just treat me as your biological sister. If anyone bullies you again, I'll stand up for you. Also, I'll definitely teach that black-hearted Xia Zhixi a lesson when I have the chance!"

"That's not good. No matter what, Xia Zhixi is my sister," Xia Chenxing said, pretending to be troubled.

Mrs. Wan raised her eyebrows and said, "No, how can she keep bullying you? Oh, leave this to me. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Xia Chenxing did not say anything, but she was overjoyed. Of course, she hoped that someone would find trouble with Xia Zhixi.

Mrs. Wan was probably afraid that Xia Chenxing would reject her again, so she quickly changed the topic and said, "Oh, look at my memory. I forgot to introduce you." Mrs. Wan had already treated Xia Chenxing as one of her own from the bottom of her heart, so she quickly introduced her to Xia Chenxing. "Chenxing, this is Mr. Jing Rui. Mr. Jing has just returned to the country and plans to stay in W City to develop his career. He has a bright future ahead of him, a dignified single young man!"

Xia Chenxing was speechless. Why did she deliberately remind her that he was single? Had this become a blind date? Besides, was he single? Didn't he dump the woman who had a miscarriage last time? Even if he was single, she was not. She was the young madam of the Li family!

Mrs. Wan said to Li Ruixu, "Mr. Jing, this lady is a famous gynecologist in W City. She's already the deputy director at such a young age. Not only are her medical skills brilliant, but she's also a rare beauty."

Xia Chenxing was speechless. It had really become a blind date…

A playful smile suddenly flashed across Li Ruixu's originally cold face. "I've met Miss Xia a few times. We're even neighbors."

Xia Chenxing did not expect the man to directly say that they knew each other. She was stunned for a moment before replying indifferently, "I'm not very familiar with him. I just found out Mr. Jing's name."

Mrs. Wan did not see the strange atmosphere between the two of them. Instead, she was very happy that the two of them were actually fated to be together. She smiled and said, "The two of you are really fated. Mr. Jing came to look for my husband today. My husband should be back soon. Chenxing, why don't you have dinner with me? I happen to have some questions about postpartum recovery that I want to ask you."

"Or…" Xia Chenxing was about to refuse when she was interrupted.

Mrs. Wan said, "Chenxing, you're being too polite. Just treat this as your own home. Don't stand on ceremony. Mother Yan, prepare more good food tonight."

"Alright, Madam. I'll get right on it," Mother Yan replied.

Mrs. Wan was too enthusiastic, so Xia Chenxing could not refuse and could only stay. After that, Mrs. Wan kept talking, so Xia Chenxing and Li Ruixu could only listen.

After a while, Wan Feng returned. He greeted Xia Chenxing briefly and went to the study with Li Ruixu to talk.

Without Li Ruixu around, Xia Chenxing felt much more relaxed. She began to teach Mrs. Wan about parenting and postpartum recovery.

At six-thirty in the evening, the dishes were already prepared and filled the entire table.

At the dining table, Xia Chenxing found out that the child in Mrs. Wan's stomach was the first child of the couple. They had waited for nine years to get pregnant with this child. This child was not easy to come by, and they valued it very much. That was why Mrs. Wan was against Xia Chenxing's suggestion at the start.
