My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Luo Weiwei looked intensely at Ye Xiong, who was cockily leaning back with one leg crossed over the other, looking utterly smug and punchable. She was bursting with indignation internally. From the beginning, this guy had been deceiving her, and she was foolish enough to fall for it, even allowing him to take advantage of her.

Who was Wu Changchun? He was one of the top lawyers in Jiangnan City and one of the lawyers that gave the police the biggest headaches. His personal arrival indicated that this guy’s background was definitely not simple.

Now, there was no evidence of assaulting a police officer, making it impossible to detain him.

Just then, her phone rang; it was a call from Huang Weifu, the city police chief.

For someone like Huang Weifu, who was the top authority, to call her personally—could it also be because of this guy?

“Chief Huang, hello,” she answered.

“Weiwei, did you arrest someone named Ye Xiong?” a deep voice came from the other end of the line.

“Yes, we did.”

“Release him immediately.”

“Chief, why?” Luo Weiwei asked, puzzled.

“Don’t ask so many questions. This is an order from above. Release him now,” he said, and then the call ended.

From above—that would imply the provincial leadership. How could such a person make the provincial leaders call the chief? Luo Weiwei scrutinized Ye Xiong again and couldn’t help but ask, “Who exactly are you?”

“A bricklayer from the Future New City construction site,” said Ye Xiong with a grin.

“I don’t know what kind of background you have, but now you are on my turf. If you commit an offense, I will definitely not let you off,” Luo Weiwei said angrily.

Ye Xiong stood up and placed the document from the table in front of her, saying with a smile, “Next time you try to frame someone, make your subordinates smarter. If my computer skills were that good, capable of Photoshopping, would I need to move bricks?”

Like magic, the handcuffs in his hand disappeared, and Ye Xiong waved his hand, “Goodbye, beautiful officer!”

Luo Weiwei glanced at the document on the table and her face turned pale. She shouted, “Xu Da, Xia Yu, get in here now!”

That afternoon, Luo Weiwei locked herself in her office, seething with rage!

She could never have imagined that Xu Da and Xia Yu, as public servants, would actually frame someone. Now both had been suspended, and they were in for some serious punishment.

Luo Wei opened her computer, retrieved Ye Xiong’s record, and stared at two photos on the screen, dumbstruck.

Not so long ago, she had checked Ye Xiong’s record, which stated that his parents were deceased, and he was alone. In less than ten days, his record already included another woman, someone beyond her wildest dreams.

Spouse: Yang Xinyi, married for less than ten days.

The president of Xinyi Group was actually married to him, and she felt the world had truly gone mad!

For some reason, she suddenly felt a sour feeling inside. She replayed the scene where that bastard groped her over and over in her mind, and her anger grew more intense.

“Next time, don’t get caught by me again, or I’ll make sure your end is very unpleasant.”

Elsewhere.

Scarface waited and waited, but the call from the police station never came, and he grew anxious. Just then, his phone rang—it was from Brother Bao.

“Has the thing been taken care of?” Brother Bao asked from the other end.

“Almost done, I’ve paid off friends at the police station…”

“Paid off my ass, you almost got me killed. Ye Xiong just walked out of the police station right as rain, and as for your two ‘friends,’ their phones are unreachable; they might have been detained by now,” Brother Bao said angrily.

“Brother Bao, I didn’t expect that guy to have connections at the police station, too.”

“Leave the following things to me. Don’t do anything for a while and wait for my order,” Brother Bao said, and hung up the phone feeling irritated.

No sooner had Ye Xiong stepped out of the police station than his phone rang again; it was Yang Xinyi.

“Be at the Dongfang Hotel at six-thirty sharp,” she said.

“Okay.”

After replying, he hung up the phone.

Ye Xiong sighed. It was just a transaction after all, and he had done similar acting jobs in the past. This time, he was even getting paid for it, yet he didn’t know why he was sighing.

Back at the construction site dormitory, he changed into clean clothes and then went out to buy tea leaves.

As he passed the Third Ring Road intersection, he heard the sound of car collision behind him. Turning around, he saw a Porsche rolling for several meters on the street before crashing into the wall of a fruit store and finally coming to a stop.

Parts were scattered everywhere. With such a collision, it was impossible for anyone inside the car to survive.

Such a pity for that Porsche; its price was well over ten million.

Upon a casual glance, Ye Xiong saw a blood-stained face in the driver’s seat, groaning in pain, with eyebrows furrowed from agony.

“Lucky to be alive!”

To survive such an accident, one could only conclude they had prayed a lot in their past life.

“Someone help, please!”

As Ye Xiong shouted, he ran to the side of the car.

Many people were gathered around the Porsche from afar, but not a single person stepped forward to help.

This was not the time to lament the coldness of human nature. Ye Xiong leaped to the front of the car and kicked viciously at the windshield. Such high-class cars had very strong windshields, and it took Ye Xiong more than a dozen kicks to finally make a hole.

Ye Xiong crawled in, and brought out the blood-covered woman. Just as they had run about ten meters away, a loud boom was heard, and the entire Porsche burst into flames.

“Don’t worry, you’re fine, don’t sleep.”

After laying the girl on the ground, Ye Xiong checked her pulse and, finding she was alright, called for an ambulance and the police.

He quietly left after the ambulance arrived.

There were over a dozen missed calls on his phone, and it was already nearly seven o’clock. The gifts he had just bought had also been taken by someone at some point!

Being late on the first meeting with the parents, Yang Xinyi must be going insane!

Ye Xiong called her up, and on the other end, Yang Xinyi asked indifferently, “Where are you?”

“Got held up by a little issue.”

“What could be more important than meeting the parents?”

Ye Xiong wanted to explain, but then he remembered that their marriage was nothing more than a transaction, so what was the use of explaining?

“Let’s talk when I get there,” Yang Xinyi said before hanging up.

Twenty minutes later, Ye Xiong had changed into a new set of clothes. His clothes had been stained with blood in the process of the rescue and were no longer wearable, so he had to casually buy a new outfit at a mall in the city. There was truly no time for buying gifts.

He hurried to the hotel and found the private room, which only Yang Xinyi was left in.

“Where are they?”

“They left after you were an hour late. I thought it would be a waste not to eat this lavish meal, so I called you to come. After all, you’re used to freeloading,” Yang Xinyi said with a faint sneer.

If anyone else had said he was freeloading, Ye Xiong would have just brushed it off with a smile, but hearing Yang Xinyi say it made him suddenly feel quite uncomfortable.

Even though they hadn’t seen each other much, Ye Xiong felt that Yang Xinyi understood him the best, which was why he had agreed to a sham marriage with her. He didn’t expect her words to be so sharp.

Ye Xiong didn’t hold back either, he began to eat voraciously, like a starving ghost reborn.

Yang Xinyi remained silent throughout. Only after he had eaten his fill did she say, “It seems we need to have an agreement. From now on, when I ask you to meet, you must arrive on time at the specified place. It is your duty. One million isn’t easy to earn. From now on, for every lateness, I’m deducting fifty thousand.”

“One’s tongue softens from eating others’ food, and hand from taking others’ money. Whatever you say goes,” Ye Xiong said as he pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth and self-mockingly added, “Is there anything else? If not, I’m leaving.”

“As a man, shouldn’t you at least give an explanation for being late?” Yang Xinyi continued to press.

She had refrained from losing her temper, which was due to her good upbringing, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t furious. She had waited for him for well over an hour. She just wanted some form of explanation, even a made-up one would do, for that’s what a man should provide.

However, Ye Xiong didn’t say a word, only responding indifferently, “I’ll transfer the fifty thousand to your account.”

With that, he strode away!

When Yang Xinyi returned to the villa, it was already ten at night!

Her parents were not in the living room, clearly infuriated by today’s events!

She had secretly taken the household register to marry someone, and Yang Dingguo had already gone into a rage. Plus, with Ye Xiong’s absence tonight, it was like the last straw on a bomb, and the couple’s dissatisfaction with this unseen son-in-law had reached its peak.

Yang Xinyi had anticipated this outcome, just not that it would be worse than she imagined.

After taking a bath and returning to her room, she lay on the bed watching television.

“Now for the ten o’clock news… At 5:32 this afternoon, a major traffic incident occurred on the city’s third ring road. A runaway truck overturned a Porsche, and the owner was in critical condition. In a crucial moment, a nameless hero appeared and rescued the owner. Here is a video taken by an onlooker at the scene!”

What followed was a heart-stopping scene: a man in grey clothes pulled a fainting woman from the wrecked car and had just walked about ten meters when the entire car burst into flames. If they had been just a few seconds slower, both would have been doomed.

“After rescuing the owner, the man left quietly… Thanks to timely rescue efforts, the owner is now out of mortal danger.”

Yang Xinyi stared blankly at the familiar figure on the TV. Although the phone didn’t catch the face, she recognized the figure all too well. Recalling the injuries on Ye Xiong’s hand, she was almost certain that the rescuer was Ye Xiong.

Suddenly, a mix of emotions flooded over her, and her earlier anger was swept away.

“This guy, is it so hard to give an explanation,” Yang Xinyi muttered to herself.

She flipped her phone in her hands, tempted to call and ask.

Finally, she didn’t make the call. There was just a transaction between them; why delve deeper?

For the sake of smooth cooperation in the future, she sent a text: Let’s just put today’s incident behind us, I hope we can collaborate pleasantly from now on.

After sending the message, she eagerly awaited a reply, but to her surprise, none came until eleven o’clock.

“Nice one, Ye Xiong, acting all important. Don’t you know how many men wish to get a message from me but can’t, and here you are, playing hard to get!”

Just when she was about to fall asleep, a reply finally came. It was just one character, no, it should be just one punctuation mark.

Oh, the epitome of brevity.

“Just because I said a few harsh words, do you have to be like this, tightwad,” Yang Xinyi tossed her phone aside and covered herself with the blanket in a huff.
