Chapter 42.4: Puppy Shang, You Brought This On Yourself (4)

Shang Jing: This will also be a test of sincerity for the jerk. Let’s see how willing he is to host an elaborate wedding for me. If he decides to skip out on the wedding, it will mean he has ulterior motives.

Weighed down by the labels of ‘jerk’ and ‘failure of a human’, He Jiang replied with conviction, “There will be a wedding.”

“We will see what Xiao Jing wants to do. I’m up for it anytime.”

A satisfied Bo Rong and Uncle Jiang: “Then commence with the preparations.”

Before leaving, Shang Jing added Uncle Jiang on WeChat and made a request for him to keep what happened in the hospital mum, just in case Uncle Bo got worried.

It was definitely not because he wanted to help He Jiang cover his tracks. In fact, he would be more than happy to see He Jiang face some setbacks.

When they were leaving, Shang Jing and He Jiang received a large angbao from Uncle Bo, to which He Jiang automatically handed to Shang Jing in the car. “All for my wife.”

Shang Jing: “About the wedding…”

He Jiang: “My schedule is pretty packed at the moment. Can we hold the wedding sometime next year? It will give me more time to prepare too.”

He Jiang was sincere in wanting a wedding. But with Shang Jing’s condition, there was a chance the latter might be unable to accept the development after he regained his memories. As such, he could only make excuses to delay it.

Furthermore, with Shang Jing’s level of disdain for him at the moment, he was sure the lad would not agree to a wedding ceremony being held for them.

However, Shang Jing thought otherwise. “Were you lying to Uncle Bo and Uncle Jiang just now? Are you not intending to host a wedding ceremony for us?”

He Jiang: “We are already nearing the end of year, it’s a little too rushed to have the wedding this year.”

Shang Jing: “I don’t care whether it’s the end of year or not. There’s still some time left till lunar new year! Isn’t that when people have more free time to host weddings?”

He Jiang: This Puppy Shang sure is familiar with the Chinese customs. Where did he get his information these past 3 years?

Shang Jing: “Are you waiting for the new year to break up?” That was a phrase that left a deep impression on him.

It also showed how important the date was to him.

Should I get a divorce before new year, wouldn’t that mean I’ll be missing out on a large sum of congratulatory money?

Wait till I leave the entertainment scene and start my PhD! He Jiang will be the only one left here to refund the guest. What a lucrative idea!

Even if we don’t get a divorce after I regain my memories, it’s fine too. By that time, I’ll be busy studying for my PhD and won’t have any time to entertain any of He Jiang’s entertainment scene wedding promotions. I’ll just quietly maintain my status as an outsider of the industry.

After all, it was the essence of a pain-in-the-ass to make life difficult for others.

Plus, he had not made life difficult for He Jiang in a long time. It was essential for him to up his game to force the jerk to show his true colors. “I’ll give you two months to prepare, is that enough?”

He Jiang had a feeling if he continued to refuse to hold the wedding, Shang Jing would divorce him without another word.

Taking in a deep breath, he answered, “That’s sufficient.”

I’ve given you the chance to take the easy route but you still chose the hard one. Puppy Shang, you brought this upon yourself.

I’ll host this wedding!

In his peripheral vision, he saw Shang Jing’s eyes curl up into crescent shapes. It was obvious he had already started fantacizing about the truckloads of congratulatory money he would receive.

As he looked on, an urge rose in him, causing his conscience to falter.

If Shang Jing still did not regain his memories by our wedding night, can I claim him too?
