The Passerby I Married Is The Richest Man! [Transmigration Into A Book]

Chapter 22 Part 3: Saving a Kid!

After dinner, the butler accompanied Elder Huo to his room to have a rest.

Initially, Huo Xiang wanted to send Bai Zhen Zhen back home, but seeing her in a foul mood, he proposed to first take a walk outside.

It was already night time, but only a few dim rays of moonlight shone through the curtain of dark clouds.

In contrast, the neon lights brightly lit up the streets.

Bai Zhen Zhen thought deeply as she walked. Huo Xiang thought she felt awkward, so he proposed: "Zhen Zhen, your dad's attitude seems so resolute, why don't we... just forget about it? In any case, I will do as you say."

Bai Zhen Zhen didn't reply right away.

Originally, Huo Xiang and her had gone through this fake marriage in order to make those people drop the matter. Moreover, since she was planning to leave the city the following day, this marital relationship would exist in name only, so it didn't matter if she didn't divorce.

But one needs self-respect just like a Buddha needs a stick of incense.Even if this was a fictitious world, Bai Zhen Zhen couldn't bear it.

--- Why should her decision be held back by those people? Her own father was foolish, her stepmother and younger sister were crafty and vicious. They never took her position into account, so why should she yield to them?!

Elder Huo had said it alright, kindness was not the same as blindly giving in and being accommodating!

"Don't leave!" Bai Zhen Zhen made up her mind, and stated resolutely.

"Why ah?" Huo Xiang asked.

He thought to himself --- she didn't fall for me, right? What should I do with my charm ah...

"I've spent all my money, I cannot let you off lightly." Bai Zhen Zhen replied.

Huo Xiang's mouth twitched: "...Yes, that's right, this kind of special offers, they can't be refunded nor exchanged."

"Hey, you're so smart, don't you have a good method?" Bai Zhen Zhen asked again.

Huo Xiang pondered for a while, then said: "Well, it's not like there isn't..."

"Tell me."

"Am I not the heir of the richest man now? I can spend a lot of money to get a fake divorce certificate. We can then show it to your father and tell him that we are already divorced. Doesn't that count as successfully accomplished? In any case you are leaving soon, I'm sure you father won't look deep into this matter anymore."

Bai Zhen Zhen nodded thinking this was a good plan.

She said: "Right, I'll wait until you obtain the certificate to explain the situation to my dad, and then l'll leave right after."

"Oh, by the way," Bai Zhen Zhen added, "I will only tell my family about the divorce. If you run into Leng Hao Chen or the Jiang siblings, remember to keep your mouth shut. In front of outsiders, we are still husband and wife."

"No problem." Huo Xiang replied bluntly.

---System: "Ding ~ the heroine's happiness points has increased +2. The system kindly reminds you that so far you have accumulated 11 points of happiness."

---Huo Xiang: "Nice, it's back to double digits again."

---System: "Knight, are you really going to let the heroine leave like this?"

---Huo Xiang: "That's right ah, isn't happiness all about letting her do whatever she wants to do! Even if she doesn't come back, there isn't a time limit to collect all the happiness points ah."

---System: "But this will delay the progress of your main mission. Didn't you always try to complete your quests fast to return to the real world as soon as possible?"

---Huo Xiang: "I have come all this way and I'm currently the heir to the richest man in the world. It's only natural to enjoy properly my time here before finishing the mission. Just treat it as a rewards for watching over the heroine these days!"

----System: "I'm at a loss for words."
