Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

Chapter 299 Finale

Gong Xiaochen froze as he lay down, his dark eyes showing a mixture of surprise and delight.

There wasn't a trace of illness in him!

"Really? Have you thought it through?" he asked.

Wen Shengsheng didn't notice his strangeness. While tucking the blanket in, she said, "You're right. It's just getting a marriage certificate. There's no need for any particular timing. I won't marry anyone but you, and you won't marry anyone but me. That's enough."

Wen Shengsheng sat down by the hospital bed, her face serious. "Most importantly, you transferred so many assets to me. If I were to die unexpectedly, wouldn't all of these assets be lost? It's different when we're married. You'll have an easier time dealing with marital property."

Gong Xiaochen's face darkened as he suddenly sat up, not expecting Wen Shengsheng to have such a plan.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

He pulled Wen Shengsheng into a tight embrace, his attitude returning to its domineering state, "You're not allowed to say things like that again."

Wen Shengsheng hugged him and nodded in agreement. "I've prepared for the worst. After all, we have so many things to face, and we can't just focus on feelings."

Gong Xiaochen looked displeased and scolded, "Can't you think of something happy?"

"Instead of thinking about this, you should think about what kind of wedding you want, where to go for your honeymoon, or what kind of gift you would like."

"Oh, I see, you really are my grandma..."

Wen Shengsheng muttered something, then looked up at Gong Xiaochen, "I was just hoping to resolve these issues as soon as possible. Once you're healed, we can get our marriage certificate first, and then go to Chuancheng together to handle some business, like this..."

Halfway through her speech, Wen Shengsheng suddenly felt that something was off.

She looked away and found her head pressed against Gong Xiaochen's chest; his breathing was steady, and his heartbeat was normal...

"You..." Wen Shengsheng asked in surprise, "Your wound doesn't hurt anymore?"

"..."

Gong Xiaochen's face twitched slightly. "It...it still hurts a little."

His tone was clearly hesitant.

Even the slow-witted Wen Shengsheng realized something was wrong.

She sat up straight and reached out to pull at Gong Xiaochen's shirt.

"Sheng Sheng, stop looking around." Gong Xiaochen raised his hand to stop him.

Wen Shengsheng glared at him, "Can't I even see your wound? Do you really want to leave it for the pretty little nurse to see?"

Gong Xiaochen closed his eyes, feeling both helpless and amused.

His injury is real; there's no way to fake it. It's just that it's not as serious as it appeared.

Wen Shengsheng gently loosened his clothes and saw a thick white bandage on his right shoulder.

No one knows better than her how deep the wound is and what it looks like.

No one knows how heartbroken she was when she saw the wound.

Wen Shengsheng lowered her head and gently kissed the white bandage.

Her light breath brushed against the skin of his chest, and Gong Xiaochen's heart trembled slightly, a tingling sensation rising from his wound.

Wen Shengsheng said sullenly, "I don't want to see you get so badly injured again."

Gong Xiaochen's gaze softened, and he embraced her waist, placing a kiss on her forehead.

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Wen Shengsheng wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her head in his neck.

Even though Gong Xiaochen was wearing a hospital gown and smelled of alcohol and medicine, he still couldn't hide the faint, cool scent of cedarwood.

Wen Shengsheng inhaled the scent lightly, unconsciously becoming lost in the moment.

Having experienced life and death, ups and downs.

Nothing could soothe her troubled heart more than a deep, warm hug.

.........

The aftermath of the Gong Xiaohan incident was handled personally by Gong Zhiyuan.

Gong Xiaohan was shot on the cargo ship and was sent to the hospital. He was in intensive care for three days before he woke up.

Since it was a kidnapping case, and Gong Xiaohan had used a gun, and several of the Gong family's bodyguards had died, the police had to be called in the end.

Everyone involved in the plot, including Cheng Zhiyun, Cheng's father, Cheng's mother, and Xi Maokun, were also successively summoned for questioning.

At first, we encountered some resistance.

Later, Gong Xiaochen sent Cheng Zhiyun a paternity test report.

After reading it, Cheng Zhiyun took the initiative to contact Gong Xiaochen.

The two talked for ten minutes, and Cheng Zhiyun was persuaded to switch sides.

The reason is simple: Gong Xiaochen and Wen Shengsheng discovered during their investigation of Cheng Zhiyun that Cheng's mother had been abusing Cheng Zhiyun for many years.

Although Cheng Zhiyun's appearance before plastic surgery was almost identical to her mother's, their intuition told them that a mother wouldn't treat her child like that for no reason, so they went to investigate.

Ultimately, the genetic markers were compared between Cheng Zhiyun and her mother.

The paternity test report concluded that a biological parent-child relationship was excluded.

In other words, they are relatives, but not mother and daughter.

From the very beginning, Gong Xiaochen knew that he couldn't solve all the problems at once when dealing with Gong Xiaohan and the Cheng family, so he deliberately kept a trump card up his sleeve.

He informed Cheng Zhiyun of the result and promised to help her investigate her biological mother.

In exchange, Cheng Zhiyun could no longer hide the truth about the kidnapping and had to tell the police the whole truth.

Gong Xiaohan was the principal offender and was sentenced to life imprisonment and had all his property confiscated.

Then came Cheng's father, Cheng's mother, and Cheng Zhiyun.

Finally, and most seriously, is Xi Maokun.

Wen Shengsheng provided the private accounts compiled by Mi Jie, along with Meng Hao's testimony and the subsequent investigations into Song Yufeng's case and Wen Shengsheng's parents' car accident, which finally led to Xi Maokun's successful conviction and imprisonment.

...........

With the major incident resolved, Wen Shengsheng and Gong Xiaochen were successfully discharged from the hospital.

The cooperation between the Gong family and the Cheng family could not continue, and the Gong family was once again at an impasse due to the oil shortage.

Gong Xiaochen was about to use Qingshan Capital's funds to save the Gong family, but Wen Shengsheng stopped him.

Before the Lunar New Year, Wen Shengsheng's four futures accounts had already made a profit of nearly 700 million yuan. Later, Gong Xiaochen transferred another 500 million yuan to her. Relying on her memories from her previous life, she operated the accounts and multiplied the profits several times over.

When billions of dollars flowed into the bank accounts of the Gong family's overseas companies, helping them maintain the company's operation, the entire Gong family was shocked, and no one dared to show the slightest disrespect to Wen Shengsheng, this orphan.

After all, no one wants to mess with the God of Wealth!

On the other hand, Gong Xiaochen once again arranged a time with Mr. Mo Lin and the private collector in Chuancheng.

However, before setting off for Chuancheng, the two of them tacitly drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau first.

On the way, Gong Xiaochen drove with one hand and held Wen Shengsheng's hand with the other.

Absent-minded.

Wen Shengsheng assumed he was thinking about things in Chuancheng, so she considerately didn't disturb him.

Upon arriving at the Civil Affairs Bureau, just before getting out of the car, Gong Xiaochen suddenly grabbed Wen Shengsheng, stopping her from getting out.

"What's wrong?" Wen Shengsheng asked.

Gong Xiaochen turned to look at her for a while, then looked away rather uncomfortably.

I've never seen the Crown Prince so hesitant and indecisive.

Wen Shengsheng's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately sensed something was wrong.

She shook off Gong Xiaochen's hand and stared straight at him. "What do you mean? You don't want to get the marriage certificate again?"

"Huh?" Gong Xiaochen turned around in surprise. "Who doesn't want to go?"

"You!" Wen Shengsheng frowned.

"I didn't!" Gong Xiaochen said lightly, and in a fit of pique, he pulled Wen Shengsheng's hand again, but this time, he pulled Wen Shengsheng's hand into his trouser pocket.

Wen Shengsheng was puzzled at first, until her fingertips touched something furry.

"What is it?"

Gong Xiaochen lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, placed his large hand on Wen Shengsheng's hand, and led her to take out the things from the pocket of his trousers.

It was a small red velvet box.

After opening the box, two pale gold rings stood quietly inside.

The dazzling light of the diamonds made Wen Shengsheng's eyes flash.

Gong Xiaochen spoke slowly.

"Although we've already agreed to get our marriage certificate, you've also said that I've never formally proposed to you."

“I think you’re right. No matter how we feel about each other, we must say what needs to be said.”

"I need to hear your verbal consent before I'm qualified to take you inside to get the marriage certificate."

"Of course, I've thought about having a ceremony or something, but I've been hospitalized recently, and there's not enough time. I also want to get our marriage certificate as soon as possible..."

Timidity and shyness—these unfamiliar emotions flashed across Gong Xiaochen's dark eyes.

That usually eloquent mouth was now incoherent, for the first time not knowing how to express its inner feelings clearly.

"Wen Shengsheng... I've given you everything, and now... the only thing left is that I'm not officially yours..."

His face flushed red. "Will you marry me?"

Listening to these awkward words.

Wen Shengsheng felt like crying and laughing at the same time; her nose and heart ached.

She tilted her head and wiped away the tears that were about to well up.

After taking a deep breath, she said in a muffled voice, "Then... come and kiss me first, and I'll say yes."

The familiar lines stunned Gong Xiaochen for a moment.

Immediately, he smiled and pulled Wen Shengsheng into his arms.

"Husband, will you kiss me for the rest of your life?"

Wen Shengsheng laughed out loud, her tears mingling with her smile, reflected in Gong Xiaochen's eyes, melting into a deep, sweet feeling.

His eyes also began to sting, and he lowered his head to kiss Wen Shengsheng.

The two embraced tightly, their lips intertwined, their breathing becoming increasingly rapid.

They kissed deeply for a long time before reluctantly letting go, and then put rings on each other's fingers.

"Let's hurry up and go in to get our marriage certificate, then head to Chuancheng." Gong Xiaochen lingered on Wen Shengsheng's lips for a while longer, then said in a low, husky voice, "We haven't tried the bed in the small bedroom at the back of the plane yet."

Wen Shengsheng was both amused and exasperated.

He really can't stop talking about his old profession...

.........

Half an hour later, the two slowly walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Each person held a red booklet.

The bright sunshine felt warm and cozy on my body, like a gentle caress from the hand of fate.

Wen Shengsheng smiled and looked at Gong Xiaochen, "Let's go."

Gong Xiaochen hummed in agreement, put his arm around Wen Shengsheng's waist, and said in a suddenly serious tone, "There is one more thing before we go."

Wen Shengsheng tilted her head suspiciously, her round, bright eyes revealing a clear contrast between black and white.

"What else?"

Gong Xiaochen kissed her fair cheek tenderly, his tone a gentle reminder, yet carrying a hint of seduction.

You need to change your tune.

They've already gotten their marriage certificate, so it's obvious what they should call each other now.

Wen Shengsheng bit her lip, stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck, and rubbed her plump red lips against his lips twice.

It has a soft and chewy texture.

"Hello, husband."

This cry made Gong Xiaochen's heart tremble with pain.

He hugged Wen Shengsheng tightly, deepening the kiss, and said softly.

"I love you, wife."
