“I agree to your conditions. I don’t like your lousy company either. Forget it. Just give me some gold jewelry for the dowry.” Bai Xiao decisively took out a check and signed it.

“Bai Xiao, are you crazy? What good can that woman be? I won’t allow such a person to marry into my family!” Yu Wei resisted the urge to curse at her son. She wanted to hear Bai Xiao’s plan.

“I’m not crazy. We did have sex. Grandpa was obviously very happy to hear that she was pregnant. The doctor also said that a happy mood is good for her condition to improve. In that case, we’ll bring her back first and let her leave after she gives birth.”

Yu Wei looked at Hu Ke in disgust. She did not want to be a mother-in-law to such a person at all, but Bai Xiao had already thought of everything. It was useless for her to interfere, so she could only glare at Hu Ke when she passed by.

Bai Wen chased after his wife and left with her. He did not even look at Hu Ke.

Bai Xiao did not seem to be affected at all. The family walked out one after another. Hu Lai left after receiving the check and did not care about Hu Ke at all. Hu Ke did not know where to go and could only follow behind Bai Xiao.

However, she had only taken a few steps when someone pinched her chin and forced her to raise her head.

“You’re really bold. You’re the first woman who dares to scheme against me.” Bai Xiao looked at the person in front of him with disgust.

“Generally speaking, those who scheme against me will not have a good ending. However, you’re considered lucky. At least you’re still useful to me, so I’ll marry you. However, don’t even think about using such dirty methods to be Young Madam Bai for the rest of your life. After giving birth to this child, get lost and don’t appear in front of me for the rest of your life!”

After saying that, Bai Xiao shook off Hu Ke’s face.

He took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped his hands clean. As if he had touched something disgusting, he frowned and threw the handkerchief into the trash can.

Hu Ke rubbed her chin that was hurting from being pinched. She naturally knew that Bai Xiao despised her, but she did not understand what was wrong with this person. Since he despised her, he should not touch her. Now that he had pinched her, who was he pretending to be a clean freak for?

Bai Xiao turned around and walked towards the door, but he was the only one who heard footsteps.

Bai Xiao turned around impatiently and looked at Hu Ke, who was still standing at the same spot. He said coldly, “Are you planning to let me invite you to leave with me? Or do you want to welcome me at the entrance of the hospital?”

When Hu Ke heard him say this, he quickly followed.

Bai Wen and Yu Wei had already left in a car. There was a Maybach parked at the entrance of the hospital. The driver respectfully opened the car door for Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao got into the car. The driver looked at Bai Xiao awkwardly and then at Hu Ke. In the end, he said, “Miss, please get in.”

In the afternoon, the two of them went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate. The one-inch photo on the certificate showed their stiff and distant faces.

After registering their marriage, Bai Xiao asked the driver to send him back to his residence. Hu Ke could only follow him. At that moment, she suddenly realized that she was no longer the happy little girl from before. She had lost her parents and had no home.

Hu Ke followed Bai Xiao into the car. She was still holding their marriage certificate.

In a daze, Hu Ke thought that she had married someone without any emotional connection. She lowered her head and smiled bitterly, staring blankly at the marriage certificate.

Bai Xiao ignored her and pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly, trying to relax.

He had just arrived at the company in the morning to prepare for a meeting when he received a call from his mother. She said that his grandfather had a relapse and was in the emergency room. On the way to the hospital, his hands and feet were cold. He was terrified and wondered what would happen if something really happened.

It was not easy for him to wait for his grandfather to leave the operating theater and receive such bad news. Moreover, he was forced into a marriage with a woman who was full of schemes. At this moment, Bai Xiao was mentally and physically exhausted.

He thought that his marriage would be a business marriage or that he would really fall in love, but he did not expect it to be so chaotic and rushed.

The two of them had their own thoughts as they waited for the car to arrive home.

The car finally arrived at Bai Xiao’s house. The busiest street in the city center was next to it. Bai Xiao’s company was here. In order to make it easier to work, Bai Xiao had specially bought a villa here.
