Medic Martial Dragon King

When Jiang Chen heard Ye Jingyi’s words, he couldn’t help but be stunned, his face revealing a look of surprise.

In that dreamlike memory, he hadn’t been aware of such hidden details.

It seemed that the Ye Jingyi in his memory hadn’t told him everything.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up, and he smiled, ”Ye Jingyi, you say your family is forcing you into marriage, but that’s actually easy to solve.”

Ye Jingyi was startled, ”Easy to solve?”

Jiang Chen nodded, ”Yeah, they’re pressuring you now simply because you’re not yet married. But if you got married, then what excuse would they have to pressure you?”

Ye Jingyi immediately became annoyed, ”What are you joking about? I don’t want to be forced into a marriage, nor do I want to marry just anyone casually.”

Jiang Chen smiled, ”I didn’t say you should really marry. Just have a fake marriage, find a nominal husband. That way, you can not only shut your family up but also give them no reason not to help you with the company’s finances.”

”A fake marriage?”

Ye Jingyi was stunned, and after musing for a long while, her eyes slowly began to brighten.

This method seemed to be quite workable.

But then she became perplexed again, ”But, the time is short. Where can I find this nominal husband?”

”Far away in the horizon, close at hand, you could choose me.”

Jiang Chen’s lips curved into a confident smile, he pointed at himself and volunteered.

Ye Jingyi glared at him immediately, her eyes filled with skepticism, ”Jiang Chen, you schemer, you didn’t approach me with such ulterior motives, did you?”

Jiang Chen felt uncomfortable under her gaze, but his face remained candid, ”No, that’s definitely not it.”

Ye Jingyi snorted coldly, ”Don’t try to hide it, Jiang Chen. My best friend Wan Wan has thoroughly investigated your background. You’re just a freeloader, there must be a reason you’re getting close to me.”

Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched harshly.

What the hell? Was Lin Wan being too nosy? She had even thoroughly investigated his background.

Jiang Chen rubbed his forehead, his head throbbing with pain.

How was he to explain this? He couldn’t possibly say that due to the strange memory of his dream, Ye Jingyi was his confidante, and so he wanted to change her fate.

Alright, if he said something like that, Ye Jingyi would probably treat him like a madman.

Clearing his throat, Jiang Chen began to lie, ”Yes, I do have a purpose, but it’s not what you think.”

Ye Jingyi stared at Jiang Chen intently, ”I knew it! Tell me, what is your real purpose? Otherwise, don’t let me see you again!”

”Ah, this is how it is, my current wife is Li Liyun...”

Jiang Chen’s face displayed a look of sorrow as he poured out his story of trying to save Li Liyun without any reservations and then facing humiliation for becoming a live-in son-in-law.

As he spoke, his eyes also reddened.

This was not a false display of emotions, for these were his true experiences, the past humiliations vivid as if they were before his eyes.

Jiang Chen’s emotional narration slowly brought moisture to Ye Jingyi’s eyes as well.

To save the person he loved, he risked his life, but in return, he faced humiliation after humiliation. And now, with his mother severely ill and the Li family not only refusing to help but also trying to drive him away to find someone new.

This was too tragic.

Jiang Chen wiped away his tears, then suddenly laughed bitterly, ”So now, I need to continue being a live-in son-in-law, all to marry someone prettier and wealthier than Li Liyun, to infuriate her! To show her that without her, I can live more freely, with more flavor and style.”

”So that’s why you chose me?” Ye Jingyi was taken aback, a bitter smile appeared on her beautiful face, and she said irritably, ”But where am I wealthy? My Liying Cosmetics is on the verge of bankruptcy!”

”This difficulty is only temporary, you can definitely get through it.”

Jiang Chen spoke with a firm and righteous tone, ”Moreover, Jing Yi, you can rest assured that as long as I’m around, I guarantee you’ll sail smoothly from now on because I am your lucky star. Don’t forget, both yesterday and today, didn’t you meet me at the most difficult times? If it wasn’t for me, you would have been in a terrible situation!”

Ye Jingyi blinked, somewhat believing what Jiang Chen had said.

Indeed, just as Jiang Chen said, without the coincidental meetings with him yesterday and today, Ye Jingyi didn’t dare to imagine what kind of consequences she would be facing.

Could he really be her lucky star?

Ye Jingyi nodded and said thoughtfully, ”Alright, your faux marriage idea isn’t too bad, I just need to think it over.”

Jiang Chen became anxious, ”You still need to think it over? It’s not even real.”

Ye Jingyi glared at him, ”What’s the rush? Besides, you’re still someone’s husband. Even if I agreed, could you go through with a fake marriage with me now?”

”...”

Jiang Chen was suddenly at a loss for words.

That’s right, he hadn’t divorced Li Liyun yet; that would be illegal.

”I’ll go handle it in the next few days.”

Jiang Chen immediately decided he must proceed with the divorce procedures from Li Liyun as soon as possible.

Li Liyun was far inferior to Ye Jingyi, be it looks or personal qualities and cultivation in all aspects. Li Liyun simply wasn’t fit to be compared to Ye Jingyi; she wasn’t even worthy to carry her shoes.

Even if not for the beauty he remembered from his memories, such a woman should be dumped sooner rather than later.

Ye Jingyi furrowed her brows, thinking she hadn’t agreed yet, but Jiang Chen was already acting as if he were entangled with her.

However, before she could speak, Ye Jingyi’s phone rang.

Ye Jingyi raised her eyebrows, thinking it was a call from Li Fei. However, when she took out her phone, she sighed in relief.

It turned out the call was from Lin Wan.

”Jing Yi, I know you’ve been under a lot of pressure lately, so let’s go have fun at the Dynasty Bar later. I’ve invited several friends to gather and help you unwind,” Lin Wan said enthusiastically on the phone.

”Okay.”

Ye Jingyi was feeling troubled and agreed without much thought.

As soon as she hung up, Jiang Chen, who was waiting nearby, chimed in, ”Going to unwind? Take me with you.”

Ye Jingyi frowned immediately, ”Were you eavesdropping on my call again?”

Jiang Chen smiled, ”Heh, I have sharp ears. Let’s go, to the Dynasty Bar, right? I’ll join you.”

Without another word, Jiang Chen pulled Ye Jingyi into the car.

...

Inside the Dynasty Bar. The private room on the second floor.

Lin Wan and several men and women were seated together.

After hanging up, Lin Wan looked at a young man in formal attire and said with a smile, ”Shen Zhui, don’t blame me for not helping you. I managed to arrange a meeting with Jing Yi, whether you can win her over will depend on your skills. Also, I’ll tell you the truth, Jing Yi has encountered some financial difficulties recently, you should help her, this is your opportunity.”

”Don’t worry, Lin Wan, how long have we known each other? Don’t you know me by now?” Shen Zhui, handsome and tall, looked at Lin Wan with joy and barely suppressed excitement in his eyes, ”As long as Jing Yi is willing to be my girlfriend, her problems are my problems. I’ll definitely help!”

Seeing Shen Zhui’s reaction, Lin Wan slightly furrowed her brows.
