Even the driver was shocked at Xu Yi’s proposal.

But there was no response from Fang Qing.

The driver took a glance at Xu Yi before he stepped forward and explained to Fang Qing with a warm smile on his face. “Hi, Miss Fang, I’m his assistant, Ling Lin. You can call me Lin. He is Xu Yi, the president of Xu Group. So, don’t worry. You can accept his offer for compensation. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain.”

Ling Lin was used to helping his young master with the persuasion job.

But it was his first time persuading a woman to accept his young master’s marriage proposal. So, it was rather difficult for him to come up with the words to persuade her.

His usual task was to reject the incoming marriage proposal on behalf of his young master.

And now, his young master was changing the game.

Fang Qing gazed at that handsome face. God must have used all his tricks in creating him. Else, how could he have such a good-looking, flawless face?

She lowered her head, steadied her breathing to appear calm. “Do people still offer themselves as part of compensation nowadays?”

Xu Yi.

This name wasn’t unfamiliar to Fang Qing. But she had not expected him to be so good-looking. The legend of the commerce world. And this was how he compensates for hitting her?

She would certainly have her guard up. A big shot like him could easily crush her to death on a whim.

There must be a hidden agenda behind this.

Melodramatic scenes flashed through Fang Qing’s mind. The more she thought about it, the scenes increasingly ridiculous.

Xu Yi arched one of his eyebrows upward and explained further with a faint smile, “To tell you the truth, I’ll definitely need your cooperation as well. I have no issue paying for your brother’s medical expenses. But the follow-up treatment fees still need to be paid, right?”

Fang Qing’s heart skipped a beat. She had no right to refuse in front of a man like him.

It was normal for them to fulfill each other’s needs.

A wry smile appeared on her face. She raised her head and looked at him. “Will I at least have the right to know? You can’t keep me in the dark, can you? I would rather suffer than break the law.”

Xu Yi narrowed his eyes. He chose her because he felt sorry for her. But she seemed to have her guards up.

On second thought, it should be easy to get her to bend with her current situation.

“Take care of your wound first and recuperate well. I’ll let you know.”

Ling Lin was rather taken aback by Fang Qing’s appearance, as she appeared right on time when they needed someone like her the most.

She was indeed beautiful. But she was not worth his young master’s patience.

When the nurse heard this, she stepped forward and began treating Fang Qing. “Miss Fang, please get on the bed.”

Fang Qing gazed at Xu Yi. She obediently lay down on the bed and let the nurse complete her job. The nurse put the needle for the drip back on her hand, then left on her own accord when she was done.

Ling Lin grabbed the water jar and left the room with the excuse of getting warm water, leaving his young master alone with Fang Qing.

Xu Yi placed the chair closer to the bed and sat down. He was satisfied with Fang Qing’s timely restraint. He was a person who could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force.

“I’m a businessman and also a law-abiding citizen. There will be no hanky-panky business involved. I won’t ask much from you. Just follow me home, and perform well in front of my parents.”

Although it seemed easy from the way Xu Yi put it, it was trouble for Fang Qing.

“We get married for real?”

“Yes, I’m not a liar.”

Fang Qing let out an awkward laugh, then uttered helplessly. “But I’m already married, on paper. There’s no ceremony yet, but I’m legally married…”

She and Bai Han had already signed the marriage certificate. After she carefully studied Xu Yi’s facial expression, she explained before he said another word. “But if you’re fine with it, I’ll find a way to resolve this. Or you can make another request. I’ll try to fulfill your wish if you continue paying for my brother’s medical fees.”

Xu Yi lightly scratched his nose and looked at the information he had just found out. Then he closed the document and smiled. “Well, it’s good for you that you’re not married then. Bai Han faked the marriage certificate you signed.”

“What?”

Fang Qing’s eyes widened as she stared at Xu Yi in disbelief. She pulled on her blanket to help herself up and moved closer to him to look at his phone.

“Can I see? How did you find out?”

However, Fang Qing could only glimpse the screensaver and a picture.

The screen went black before she could take another look.

Xu Yi moved backward to distance himself away from her and coughed. “Miss Fang, allow me to repeat myself. I will not lie to you.”
