Chapter 578: Getting married
The dim glow of the bedside lamp cast a warm and intimate atmosphere in the hotel room. Qin Muran and Xi Yaohua lay side by side on the soft, plush bed, their breaths gradually returning to normal after the passionate encounter they had just shared. The air was filled with a mix of lingering desire and a subtle tension that hung between them.
As they lay there, the sheets tangled around them, Xi Yaohua broke the comfortable silence with a sigh. He turned his head to look at Qin Muran, "Muran, your father has become suspicious of the company’s accounts. He has hired a professional to go through them, and I’m afraid he has doubts about the financial transactions we’ve been involved in."
Qin Muran’s expression shifted from post-ecstasy bliss to a more serious demeanor. The weight of his words settled in the room, creating an unexpected tension. "A professional?" he repeated, his mind racing to comprehend the implications.
Xi Yaohua nodded, his eyes revealing a mixture of guilt and anxiety. "Yes, Muran. He is determined to get to the bottom of things."
Qin Muran sat up, running a hand through his disheveled hair as he processed the information. The allure of their intimate moment now replaced by the stark reality of potential consequences.
"What should we do now?" she asked anxiously.
Xi Yaohua took a deep breath, his eyes meeting Qin Muran’s with determination. "Let’s get married. Once we are married, my family will stand by our side and help us face anything even if your father sues us."
Xi Yaohua thought that once he married Qin Muran, he would take the reigns of the Qin Corporation in his hands. Without marriage, it was impossible to make Qin Muran hand over the shares of Qin Corporation to him.
Qin Muran’s eyes widened at the unexpected proposal, a mix of surprise and affection washing over her. "Get married?" she repeated, a small smile breaking across her face.
Qin Muran did not think that Qin Yicheng’s investigation would become a blessing in disguise. She had always wanted to marry Xi Yaohua. Her eyes lit up instantly on hearing his proposal, but his next words made her frown.
Xi Yaohua, still holding Qin Muran’s hand, looked into her eyes, "Yes Muran, but I think we should get married in secret first. With the tension in both of our families right now, a public wedding might only escalate things. Once everything settles down, we can have the wedding we’ve always dreamed of."
