Chapter 260: Choice (3)
Han Yifeng wanted to have a few peaceful days to reevaluate his feelings for Xi Xinyi. He wanted to think things through on his own. However, it seemed that he did not have the chance to.
When he arrived at his office early in the morning, Secretary Wang came up to him with some newspapers in his hand.
"CEO Han, things are bad. Look at this!" Secretary Wang quickly handed the newspapers to Han Yifeng who frowned as he took the papers and had a closer look.
It was filled with the news of Xi Xinyi's pregnancy. The articles also assumed Han Yifeng was the father. They even wrote that Han Yifeng might abandon her. All kinds of conspiracies were examined by the articles!
Han Yifeng's expression darkened as his grip on the papers tightened. He suddenly raised his head and told Secretary Wang in a cold tone, "What's happening?"
"CEO Han, I just found out about it myself. I'm trying to suppress these negative news, but if... The Han Corporation and Yueying might be in trouble again."
Han Yifeng understood what Secretary Wang meant very well. The stock of the Han Corporation had finally stabilized, and Yueying was on the path to recovery. With this round of news coming out now, there would be another spate of chaos waiting to happen.
"What should we do, CEO Han?" Secretary Wang asked anxiously.
Han Yifeng tensed up as he pinched the space between his eyebrows before asking, "Can we find out who's behind this?"
"The Han Corporation has been growing rapidly in recent years. Plus, we've made quite some enemies, so it's not easy to find out who did this," Secretary Wang said in a worried tone, "CEO Han, we should come up with a solution now before things get worse. Otherwise, it might develop into something like the orphanage matter last time!"
Han Yifeng leaned against the backrest of the chair as he switched on the computer and surfed online.
His face was strained. After that, he suddenly took a deep breath. His eyes seemed broody and hesitant. Then, he opened the drawer beside him and took the marriage contract out to flip through.
He scanned each and every word slowly, his eyes in torment and his hands trembled. After mustering enough courage, he picked a pen up and swiftly signed his name before giving it to Secretary Wang.
"Send it to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and announce to the public that I'm married to Xinyi already. I suppose this can clamp things down."
Secretary Wang accepted the contract from Han Yifeng and stared at him in shock. "CEO Han, I hope you know that once this matter goes public, Ms. Xinyi and you..."
Han Yifeng closed his eyes with a depressed expression. "Just go. We've decided to get married anyway. With this declaration, I won't be abandoning her..."
True love...
Xi Xiaye's slightly aloof, smiling face appeared in his mind instead whilst her laugh echoed in his ears.
Secretary Wang paused before he glanced through the document and nodded. "Okay then. I'll head over to the Civil Affairs Bureau right now. Should I inform Madam and the others to get together for dinner? Everyone wasn't really happy about what happened the other day. Well, they should be pleased about this," Secretary Wang suggested.
Han Yifeng inhaled deeply. "Mmm, inform them. I'm heading out this afternoon and will be back pretty late. Tell them to not wait for me."
"CEO Han..."
"You can go now."
...
Xi Xiaye went to the office early in the morning while Mu Yuchen went straight to Zhou Zimo's place.
In the evening, she received a call from the court and was told that her case was going to be on trial soon. Yang Jianfeng should have been notified as well.
Xi Xiaye knew that Zhuang Shurong must have helped to expedite the process.
She did not know what Mu Yuchen had done to suppress the news. She only saw trending news or news from the entertainment industry in the papers. Xi Xiaye was not really a famous person. With the exception of her relationship with Glory World and Xi Mushan, she was pretty ordinary, so it was not really difficult to let things pass on its own. However, Xi Mushan might be facing a bit more trouble.
Xi Xiaye was thinking about giving Xi Mushan a call after she hung up on the call from the court, but her phone starting ringing before she could punch the number in. It was Su Nan!
"Damn, Xiaye, have you seen the news? Big news! Han Yifeng and Xi Xinyi are married! They got registered at the Civil Affairs Bureau today. It's all over the news now! Han Yifeng actually still decided to marry Xi Xinyi after her reputation fell to rock bottom. Now, everyone is praising Han Yifeng's generosity. Some even said that this is true love..." Su Nan let her mouth run wild as soon as the call was connected.
Han Yifeng and Xi Xinyi were married?
She was startled for a moment when she heard the news. Seconds later, she raised her eyebrows. So, they were really married! Did he not say he wanted to cancel their marriage contract?
Was it because of the child? Or...
"Xiaye, do you know that Han Yifeng has now become a role model as a good man?! Damn, he's sure not worthy of it! He's the worst among the worst. Ugh, this is so frustrating! True love? And society accepts this? I can't stand this!"
Su Nan's enraged voice was so loud that Xi Xiaye had to put a distance between her ear and the receiver.
"They were already preparing to get married anyway. Do you really need to be this angry? Be careful with your own baby." Xi Xiaye laughed.
"Oh, I almost forgot that I have a little thing inside my womb! My bad, I was just talking about prenatal education yesterday!" Su Nan realized that her emotions were going awry.
"It's fine. So what if she's married? Aren't we married as well? You don't have to follow their news and trouble yourself anymore., I still have some documents to work on. Talk to you soon."
Xi Xiaye shook her head with a smile as she hung up on the call.
...
At night, in a villa on the outskirts.
Xi Xinyi felt revitalized when she found out that Han Yifeng had signed his name on the marriage contract. A blissful smile appeared on her pale face.
Caressing the red marriage certificate she had received from Secretary Wang gave her a peace of mind.
