Chapter 105: Forced Marriage

  Looking at them with a puzzled expression, he felt that something was off. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and smiled slightly, saying: "Speak up, what's going on? From the moment I came in to when I sat down, you've been looking at me with this strange gaze, yet not speaking. What is it? Is there something that can't be said?"

  Xin chuckled and said, "Xue'er, you're overthinking again. Actually, there's nothing going on. We've just noticed that your mood hasn't been great lately, so we're a bit worried about you. By the way, did Ziheng bully you again? Tell us, and we'll help you get revenge."

  "Is that so, Wang Xue? Is there something wrong with Zhuo? Speak up, if it's really Zi Heng being a bad kid, I'll help you beat him up." Little Tian said with a nod.

  As soon as Zhang Ziduan was mentioned, Wang Xue's face suddenly became somewhat melancholic, but immediately she seemed to be fine again, and with a smile, said: "Nothing's wrong, what's there to be? Look at you guys, always thinking nonsense. I'm getting along great with Ziheng now, how could he bully me? Even if there was something, it would be me bullying him."

  "Is that so? Where is Zi Heng now? We haven't seen him for a while, why don't you give him a call and ask him to come out?" Li Wen Cheng said.

  "Uh," I didn't tell you guys before, didn't I? Ziheng is sick and he's currently recovering in the hospital. You guys shouldn't go visit him either, or else you'll disturb him." Wang Xue said.

  "Huh? Really? No way, I saw Zi Heng today and he didn't look sick at all." Xiao Tian said seemingly nonchalantly. "What? You saw him? Where was he? Where did you see him?" Wang Xue asked excitedly.

  As soon as she said this, everyone stared at her, and Wang Xue immediately realized that she had misspoken, hastily closing her mouth, lowering her head, picking up her chopsticks and continuing to eat.

  Cheng Qian sighed and said, "Xue Er, it's already come to this point, do you still want to hide the truth from everyone? What Xiao Tian said earlier was true, we really did see Zi Heng today, but he actually said he didn't recognize us. What's going on? Did you guys have a falling out?"

  Wang Xue put down her chopsticks, raised her head to look at them, and then told the whole story. "Only I, Xu Jie, and Bai Yujie know about this matter. The reason we didn't tell you is that we didn't want you to worry. Originally, we thought we could find Zi Heng soon, but unexpectedly, things have turned out like this."

  Li Wencheng nodded suddenly, saying: "Oh, I see. No wonder. Look, I told you, Ziheng wouldn't be that kind of person. Xiaotian, you too, the matter isn't clear yet, what's with the anger?"

  "How was I supposed to know? If you were in my shoes at that time, you would have been furious too." Xiaotian gave him a white eye and said. "Alas, how could Ziheng lose his memory? This is simply unbelievable, just like a movie plot."

  "Yes, at first I didn't believe it either, but later when I saw him, he didn't even recognize me," Wang Xue said, choking back tears.

  Nahin pulled her into his own arms and comforted her, then said to Li Wencheng: "Think of a way, just sitting here eating, it's useless."

  Li Wencheng had a shrimp in his mouth, and after a moment of stunned silence, he said: "I was just thinking that if I don't eat anything, I won't have any nutrition. Without nutrition, my brain can't keep up, and if my brain can't keep up, I won't be able to think of a solution."

  At this time, Xiao Tian suddenly lit up and said: "Ah, right! I saw in the movie that those who lost their memory, as long as they see some very precious things before they lost their memory, will have an impression, which has a great effect on recovering memories. Wang Xue, is there anything important to Zi Heng? As soon as he sees it, he will be very excited."

  Wang Xue thought carefully and said: "No, Ziheng is usually very boring, basically has no hobbies, and nothing very important to do."

  "Yes, he even forgot Xue Er, what else can make him regain his memory?" Cheng Qian said.

  Li Wencheng nodded and said: "No, there is, but it's not a thing, it should be a place."

  "Huh? Where?" Wang Xue hastily asked.

  Li Wencheng chuckled and said, "Home, your home. The first place Ziheng came to in the city was his home, where he had always lived. Later, you moved away, I think you must have had a lot of things happen there. If he goes back home, maybe he'll remember something."

  "Ah, yes." The crowd applauded, thinking what he said made sense.

  "But how can we get Zi Heng back home? I don't even know where he is now," said Wang Xue.

  "You don't know, we do." Xiao Tian smiled. "Today I was going to go see the house with Qianqian, but unexpectedly saw him. The female manager said that Ziheng is now her secretary, which means that as long as you go to that real estate company, you can find Ziheng."

  "What? Really? That's great! Little Tian, do you still remember what that company was?" Wang Xue asked excitedly.

  "It's alright, don't worry about it."

  In the evening, Zhangzi locked himself in his room for a second time, thinking back to this afternoon's conversation with Youzhou.

  At this time, Zheng Jie knocked on the door and walked in, walking to his side and asked: "What's wrong? From the sales department back to now, you have been listless all the way, are you sick?" As she spoke, she reached out and touched Zhang Ziheng's forehead.

  Zhang Ziheng smiled and shook his head, saying: "No, I'm fine. It's just that some things have been bothering me for a while, it's quite annoying."

  Zheng Jie thought for a moment and then said: "Is it because of that person who made trouble at the sales office today?"

  "Ah, it's him."

  "You're still worried about what he said? I've told you before, people like that are nothing new to me, you don't need to pay attention to him." Zheng Jie said. "But, but I keep feeling strange, when I saw him being chased away by the security guard today, my heart felt particularly uncomfortable. Zheng Jie, he said he knew me, could what he said be true?" Zhang Zi Heng asked.

  "No, absolutely not." Zheng Jie said firmly.

  "Can"

  "Alright, don't say anything more. There's nothing good to be said about this kind of thing." Zheng Jie said very seriously. "I'm going to ask you something, and you have to answer me honestly, without any deception at all, got it?"

  Zhang Ziheng was taken aback for a moment, then said: "What's up? Speak."

  "Do you really want to marry me? Do you truly love me?"

  "Zheng Jie, why are you asking this? Of course it's true, I will definitely marry you." Zhang Ziheng said.

  Zheng Jie nodded and said: "Well, since it's like this, then let's get married."

  "Huh? What, when? Now?" Zhang Ziheng asked.

  "Uh-huh, that's right, it's now, the sooner the better, best to get the certificate tomorrow and hold the wedding the day after tomorrow." Zheng Jie nodded and said.

  Zhang Ziheng furrowed his brow, looking at her with a puzzled expression. "Zheng Jie, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly in such a hurry? Marriage is the most important thing in life, how can it be so rushed? Besides, we haven't even prepared for our wedding. We haven't bought a house, and we haven't discussed some major and minor matters. Most importantly, I don't have any money. You didn't forget what I told you before, did you?"

  Zheng Jie shook her head and said, "No, I haven't forgotten. What I mean is, I couldn't wait any longer, we're getting married soon. If you want us to move out after marriage, it's fine, we can borrow money from dad to buy a house, just like taking out a bank loan, we can pay him back every month. Whether or not we have a wedding ceremony doesn't matter, isn't 'naked marriage' in style now? We can do that too. After all, getting married is between the two of us, no need to make such a big fuss about it. Once we're married, you can do whatever you want, I'll support you. If you don't like me working outside, I can be a full-time housewife at home, whatever you say, I'll listen."

  Zhang Ziheng stared blankly at Zheng Jie, after a long while, he opened his mouth and said: "Zheng Jie, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly make such a big decision? We're still young now, the most important thing should be our careers, getting married can happen anytime, why are you rushing so much?"

  "I told you, I'm in a hurry."

  "Why? Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhang Ziheng asked.

  "Because, because I'm afraid someone else will snatch you away. My mom said that if we meet a good man, we should take the initiative early on, otherwise it'll be too late. And didn't you just say that getting married can happen anytime? So why not now? Or are you simply not willing to marry me?"

  "No" isn't a reason, Zheng Jie, I think so

  "Don't say anything more, I've already made up my mind. I'll give you one night to think about it, and tomorrow I want your answer. I hope the answer you give me tomorrow is affirmative, got it?" With that, Zheng Jie stood up and left Zhang Ziheng's room.

  "This" Zhang Ziheng had a bewildered expression, and he didn't understand what was going on at all. What's wrong with Zheng Jie? Suddenly saying she wants to get married, leaving him completely unprepared.

  At night, Zhang Ziheng lay in bed, thinking about what had happened today. Everything came too suddenly, and he couldn't even react. Suddenly, someone rushed out and said they knew him, followed by Zheng Jie asking him to marry her. Was there a connection between these two events? Zhang Ziheng didn't know, he was now very troubled, not knowing what to do. Should he agree to Zheng Jie's request or refuse her?

  Why did Zhengjie suddenly want to do this? Was she really impatient? In fact, she only told one truth, that is, she was really afraid of Zhang Ziheng being taken away by others. Today's sudden appearance of Xiaotian made Zhengjie aware of the danger, if such people continue to appear in the future, then Zhang Ziheng will eventually recover his memory. Once Zhang Ziheng recovers his memory, it means that she may lose him. Zhengjie absolutely does not allow this to happen, so she wants to force Zhang Ziheng to get married, only after getting married can she be at ease.
