My Secret Marriage : Meet With The Best One - Chapter 94
“Mr. Xuan, I wish to report to you,”
Xuan Cheng, who was in a restaurant alone, sat alone, and now his confidant had come to see him. Xuan Cheng seemed to take a sip of his coffee, and then he looked at his confidant with a disinterested look. After that, he placed the brown ceramic cup on the table, then Xuan Cheng crossed his legs perfectly. Xuan Cheng took a deep breath, and he didn’t expect his trusted person to come to him this long.
“Did you get the information I needed? Considering how long it took you to report to me,” Xuan Cheng finally said.
The bald man then lowered his head as if he had felt guilty about Xuan Cheng’s sarcasm.
“My apologies, Mr. Xuan. Indeed, the information you need is very confidential and almost no one knows at all. I tried to find this information even from some of the highest ranks of the board of directors who happen to know more or less about this matter.”
“Say, what have you got?”
“Mr. Han’s wife is Liu Qiao Xin, she’s not from a businessman, the daughter of an official, an artist, or anything like that. As far as the board of directors knows, Mr. Han’s wife is a very beautiful person and doesn’t want to be exposed in any media, which is why both the wedding and the banquet were deliberately kept very private.”
“Wait,” Xuan Cheng seemed to look at his confidant. “Liu Qiao Xin?” he said as if repeating what his confidant had just said. This isn’t right. How could it be that the Qiao Xin he knew was Qiao Xin, who was Xiao Long’s wife? Xuan Cheng would never accept if this happened. Yes, he did not take this truth.
“That’s right, Mr. Xuan. This is a photo of her attending the banquet,” Xuan Cheng’s confidant handed him a photo, and it managed to make Xuan Cheng startle again. Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, how could he accept the fact that Qiao Xin was Xiao Long’s wife? At the moment, Qiao Xin had attracted him to death. But wait, Xuan Cheng seemed to be trying to think again. If they were married, why did they have to pretend they didn’t know each other? Qiao Xin pretended to be Tao’s cousin, and even the cellphone Qiao Xin said it was Tao’s gift. Something was off, something wasn’t right, and Xuan Cheng would find it out no matter what. “But there is one thing that is very strange, Mr. Xuan.”
“What’s that?” asked the somewhat impatient Xuan Cheng.
“Even though their marriage has been going on for more than two months. But until now, the two of them have not legally registered their marriage, so their marriage is still not legally valid because it has not been registered.”
Xuan Cheng fell silent again, and all the irregularities seemed to pile up into one. He remembered the shocking news that came out of his father’s mouth when previously there was sad news when Grandpa Han was rumored to be dying. Xuan Cheng knew more than anyone that Grandpa Han wanted Xiao Long to get married before he died. Xiao Long suddenly announced his marriage, even until this moment Xiao Long didn’t even introduce who his wife was in front of Li Xuan and himself. Or could it be that Xiao Long and Qiao Xin’s marriage was just a charade? Yes, Xuan Cheng had to find answers to all of that, plus information from his trusted people. Xuan Cheng was very sure that this marriage was not the marriage that Qiao Xin wanted.
“You can go back, find out why they didn’t register their marriage, after you know all the answers, immediately tell anything in detail,”
“Alright, Mr. Xuan!”

This afternoon, Qiao Xin seemed to be busy reading her files, then she was startled by the sound of her cell phone. Qiao Xin could already guess who would be bothering her other than Xiao Long at office hours like this. Moreover, the absence of Tao today made Xiao Long use it very well.
“Do you like to bother me that much, demon lord?”
“Hurry up to my room, some directors seem to put a lot of pressure on me about my marital status. They are on the side of the president and finance director, and can’t believe that you’re my wife because I didn’t officially introduce you.”
“Then what should I do?”
“Come on, we don’t have time,”
“But, I… hey! But I still have work to do, you idiot!” Qiao Xin could only curse at her cell phone when it was one-sidedly closed by Xiao Long. Meanwhile, Xiao Long, who had just hung up his phone, immediately smiled broadly. She looked at her cellphone as if it was something she cared about.
“Ehm, one clap, two dead flies,” Xiao Long muttered. He hurried to tidy up his appearance, then smiled. All the perverted thoughts he had imprinted so perfectly in his brain.
Not long after, Qiao Xin entered his room, albeit in an extraordinarily sneaky way. Seeing Qiao Xin coming, Xiao Long hastily grabbed Qiao Xin’s arm, making Qiao Xin seem to be bewildered to death.
“What are you doing? why are you pulling me like this?” asked Qiao Xin, who looked flustered to death. Her steps stopped as her back was perfectly pressed against Xiao Long’s desk, while Xiao Long was already tightly gripping Qiao Xin’s shoulder. His gaze looked at Qiao Xin with that solemn expression on his face.
“Listen to me, Qiqi. This is a dangerous thing.”
“What?” Qiao Xin then asked.
“The directors don’t believe that you are my wife. I mean, I reported the issue of the two directors almost harming you to the police, and the other directors didn’t seem to agree with it. So since it’s urgent, we can’t help but pretend.”
“Pretend how? Haven’t we been pretending all along?” Qiao Xin asked with a stupid look on her face. How could she not? She didn’t even understand what Xiao Long was saying at all. Even Qiao Xin felt that what Xiao Long had said was utterly unreasonable.
“We have to do something to make them believe that we are husband and wife, that we are a man and a woman who love each other.”
“You mean? I really don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“Touching, it’s the only way we can convince them that we are a real husband and wife,”
“What? Shouldn’t we just call Grandpa to prove it?”
“Do you think Grandpa would be okay seeing his company being ruined by his trusted people?”
Hearing this, Qiao Xin fell silent. What Xiao Long said was the truth. What was Qiao Xin thinking? How could she believe that she could invite Xiao Chuan here?
“That’s right, then what do you mean by touching?” Qiao Xin asked with a stupid look on her face.
Xiao Long now straightened his stance, and then he cleared his throat many times, looking at Qiao Xin with a deep glare.
“Whatever I do later, you can’t look stiff, you can’t refuse. Even you have to reply and prove to them that you also really love me. Do you understand?”
Qiao Xin couldn’t help but be silent, and her brain was utterly useless right now because of Xiao Long’s words. But before she had time to ask further, Xiao Long had already looked at the window, making Qiao Xin even more panicked.
“It’s come, they’ve come. Remember Qiqi, whatever I do is just to help our relationship, you don’t think too far.”
“But-”
Qiao Xin’s eyes opened wide when Xiao Long kissed her lips. Qiao Xin was about to back off. But Xiao Long’s hand still pressed it perfectly.
“Got it, you have to remember that, so play your part well,” whispered Xiao Long, who kissed Qiao Xin again on the lips.
Qiao Xin’s brain felt dull instantly, and she couldn’t even say anything. Her eyeballs looked at Xiao Long’s face, which was currently trying to lick her lips.
What should Qiao Xin do?
Qiao Xin seemed to be swallowing hard until she finally closed her eyes, her hands wrapped around Xiao Long’s neck, then Qiao Xin slowly opened her mouth, kissing Xiao Long back at her.
Getting permission from Qiao Xin and seeing if Qiao Xin returned the kiss, Xiao Long seemed to smile, then he closed his eyes too, and the two of them kissed passionately.
Slowly, Xiao Long pulled his face away as his cell phone rang. But for a moment, their eyes still stared at each other. Xiao Long quickly rejected the call, then his hands caught Qiao Xin’s face and kissed Qiao Xin again without hesitation.
Someone knocked on his door impatiently until it opened. Several middle-aged men walked in with shocked expressions on their faces to see what Xiao Long and Qiao Xin were doing.
Xiao Long and Qiao Xin looked at each other perfectly, and the somewhat embarrassed Qiao Xin couldn’t help but look down with a bright red face.
“Forgive us, Mr. Han. Looks like you came at an inopportune time, Mr. Han is with your wife,” said one of the directors. Xiao Long seemed to nod his head.
“Wife? Now that you call Qiqi my wife, didn’t you guys come here with the intention of questioning the status of our relationship? So if you still don’t believe it, why don’t you just visit the house to find out the truth?”
Hearing Xiao Long’s harsh words, the directors looked at each other with frightened expressions on their faces. They know Xiao Long’s character. The young man will not hesitate to fire anyone he thinks is unfit to work in his company.
“Oh, our apologies, Mr. Han, by seeing this with our own eyes, we finally realized and believed that Miss Liu, I mean Young Lady Han is your wife. Therefore, we are allowed to return.”
Xiao Long just nodded his head until all the directors returned. But when he was alone with Qiao Xin, the atmosphere was so awkward again.
Qiao Xin shyly looked at Xiao Long, even with Xiao Long. Both of their chests were being filled with all the rumbling that was in their wardrobes.
“I, go first,” Qiao Xin finally said.. But when Qiao Xin was about to walk away, Xiao Long immediately grabbed Qiao Xin’s hand, and he kissed Qiao Xin’s lips again as if he was reluctant to let Qiao Xin go.
