Chapter 1: The Wedding – Who the Hell Cares Who You Love?

Chapter 1: The Wedding – Who the Hell Cares Who You Love?

On New Year’s Eve, Xie Shiwei unfortunately offended his just-dumped boss and was singled out to stay late and work overtime.

Starving and dizzy, he dragged his weary body downstairs to buy a bowl of instant noodles. He wolfed it down and braved the cold wind to return to the office and continue writing the proposal.

As the elevator ascended to the tenth floor, Xie Shiwei took only a couple of steps when a fierce pain suddenly exploded in his head.

Half of his body instantly felt like it was being pricked by ten thousand needles, so numb he couldn’t move. His handsome features twisted in pain, and before he could even cry for help, he fell straight to the ground with a “thump.”

In an instant, his breathing and pulse stopped.

Xie Shiwei plunged into darkness, with only a lingering consciousness.

He… seemed to be dead.

On New Year’s Eve, he died in the office elevator, a tragic death. Probably tomorrow he’d be on the news headlines, drawing countless sympathetic tears from fellow wage slaves.

Oh well, dying is dying, at least it’s a relief.

All that damn overtime, damn boss, damn rent have nothing to do with him anymore!

He doesn’t have to keep paying off the huge debts his gambler parents left behind!

Nice!

But the next moment, Xie Shiwei suddenly remembered that he’d been single his whole life. He had lived twenty-five years without having a soul-stirring romance with a handsome man, and he instantly couldn’t be so carefree.

Dying so suddenly, God, you’re ruthless…

Just as he was lamenting, a male voice suddenly rang out in the darkness, approaching and entering his ears.

“Xie Shiwei, stop dreaming. I could never love you in this lifetime.”

The voice was low and pleasant, but the words were so cold, filled with contempt.

Xie Shiwei was speechless.

When he was alive, he was a humble wage slave, and now that he’s dead, he’s still being pointed at and humiliated. It’s outrageous.

He retorted with a cold laugh, “Heh, who do you think you are? Who the hell cares who you love?”

As the words fell, the surroundings shook violently, and a force dragged his remaining consciousness back into his body. A flash of white light, and the next moment, he regained control of his body, standing on solid ground!

Xie Shiwei opened his eyes in the blinding light, bewildered.

Before him was an exquisite auditorium.

Gauze curtains hung all over the beige dome, sunlight streamed in through the glass round windows, and a floral sign with “Xie Shiwei & He Qin Wedding Ceremony” hung in the middle of the archway directly in front of him. The guests below the stage were all seated, each elegant and refined.

Xie Shiwei rubbed his eyes and opened them again, but everything remained the same.

Was this heaven?

Could he get married after death?

He Qin, the name sounded familiar, who was it again?

In the midst of his confusion, someone patted him on the shoulder, and the emcee lowered his voice and winked at him, “Mr. Xie, please stop talking nonsense. You’re about to exchange rings with your husband. Please get the ring.”

Husband?

Xie Shiwei’s gaze shifted to the man standing an arm’s length away from him, and he was immediately stunned.

The man had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, with sword-like brows, deep eyes, and an AI-modeled face. He was standing with him on the white marble platform, wearing the same custom-made suit, with a milky white groom’s boutonniere on his left chest.

This must be He Qin, the handsome husband heaven was sending him?

A warm reward after a hard-working wage slave died from overwork?

So handsome!

Xie Shiwei was overwhelmed by sudden happiness and completely forgot the unfinished conversation just now. His eyes were glued to the groom, and he smoothly took the ring box from the wedding attendant.

The wedding returned to normal, and the emcee breathed a sigh of relief, holding the microphone and saying emotionally, “Now, please exchange rings and beautiful promises with each other!”

“Please, Mr. Xie Shiwei, put the ring on Mr. He Qin!”

Xie Shiwei opened the box and shyly slid a bright and dazzling ring onto He Qin’s ring finger, extending his right hand with a little coyness.

His hand was beautiful, fair, slender, and soft. But He Qin ignored it, pushing the ring upwards without a word, even a little roughly.

Xie Shiwei was a little sore and gave He Qin a reproachful look, his heart already itching.

Being rough is fine too, it’s exciting.

“Xie Shiwei, are you senile?” After putting on the ring, He Qin said in a low voice, his eyes filled with undisguised disgust.

Xie Shiwei, completely immersed in the wedding atmosphere, suddenly heard this nonsensical sentence and looked up blankly, “What? Of course not.”

He just died, how could he be senile.

“Then you should know that you were the one who clung to me like a leech, begging and threatening to get this wedding. So, who do you think cares who I love?”

He Qin’s voice was very low, just enough for Xie Shiwei to hear alone. After speaking, he took half a step back and took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands slowly and deliberately.

Xie Shiwei was dumbfounded, finally remembering the conversation just now, connecting the handsome man in front of him with the man who mocked him in the dark.

He Qin was actually the man who said, “I could never love him in this lifetime.”

His handsome face was chillingly indifferent, looking at him like he was a virus.

What kind of broken death benefit is this? Is God sick? Still messing with him like this even after death?

Burning with anger, Xie Shiwei couldn’t maintain any rationality and started ranting at He Qin, “Big brother, are you okay? Do you know what year it is? Can homosexuals get married? Just because you’re handsome, you think you can fly? Isn’t this already heaven? Still wiping your hands, do I have poison on my hands? If I did, you would have been poisoned to death long ago!”

He Qin’s expression became increasingly ugly, until it was as cold as ice. The emcee next to him was even more stunned.

Although Xie Shiwei didn’t use the microphone when he spoke, the guests in the nearest seats still heard him.

Several people covered their mouths and laughed, while those who knew a little about the situation speculated that Xie Shiwei had perhaps injured his brain a few days ago.

If the Xie family’s only heir was really stupid, then there would be a good show to watch.

In the first row of the guestSeat, Xie Shiwei’s stepmother Chen Ning also heard these laughable remarks.

The elegant woman with her hair in a bun looked worried and said to her husband beside her, “Tian’an, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let Shiwei have his way and hold the wedding on schedule. Shiwei had a high fever for three days after falling into the pool. Although the fever broke yesterday, his body is weak and he definitely hasn’t recovered. We should have postponed the ceremony. Now he’s starting to talk nonsense, what should we do?”

Xie Tian’an shook his head helplessly, “It’s not your fault, it’s his own fault for not knowing his limits and just acting recklessly. Don’t worry, I’ve already contacted Doctor Huang, he’ll be landing soon and will give that kid a good check-up.”

Sitting next to the Xie couple were He Qin’s parents, who looked noticeably older.

He Qin’s mother didn’t dare to breathe loudly, afraid that the two in-laws would blame them for not taking good care of Xie Shiwei at the party yesterday. Fortunately, Xie Tian’an answered a phone call and started talking about factory matters, and Chen Ning’s attention was also drawn away, which was considered a reprieve.

.

On the stage, the emcee used all his skills to smooth things over, trying to please Xie Shiwei and appease He Qin, finally managing to complete a fragmented wedding that could have turned into a brawl at any moment.

After the ceremony ended, the emcee’s suit was soaked with cold sweat, and he slumped on the backstage sofa, fanning himself.

A hotel employee gossiped and came over, “Hey, Lao Wang, do you think their marriage can last a year?”

“A year?” The emcee scoffed, “Even a month is difficult. They almost strangled each other just now.”

“If anyone’s going to strangle someone, it’ll be He Qin strangling that Xie family guy, right? Who doesn’t know that the Xie family’s weirdo has been chasing He Qin for over a decade. Now that they’re finally married, how could he bear to strangle his own male god?”

The emcee clicked his tongue, “I heard that Xie Shiwei accidentally fell into the pool a few days ago and had a bad illness, maybe his brain is damaged. He actually turned around and scolded He Qin, leaving him dumbfounded. Look at all this cold sweat on me, it was all scared out of me by him!”

“How could Xie Shiwei fall into the pool for no reason? Could it have been He Qin who pushed him? He must really look down on Xie Shiwei.”

“Impossible, the He family still needs the Xie family’s support to get through their difficulties. If he was going to push him, he would have waited until the crisis was over.”

“Hey, why do you think Xie Shiwei is so desperate to hang himself on He Qin’s tree? There are quite a few people chasing him.”

“The He family has also grown in recent years, and it’s a new field. Maybe he’s eyeing He Qin’s potential. You’re too naive. In this kind of circle, don’t talk about true feelings.”

These people chatted enthusiastically. Xie Shiwei, who had sneaked out to find the restroom, heard everything clearly at the door, and his heart went cold.

According to these people, he, Xie Shiwei, was the Xie family’s good-for-nothing youngest son who had spent ten years high-profilely chasing He Qin, who completely looked down on him. The wedding that wasn’t based on mutual consent was built on a family transaction, the fulfillment of his years of obsession.

How outrageous but familiar a description.

A layer of cold sweat formed on Xie Shiwei’s forehead.

Where had he heard these words before?

Could it be that he hadn’t gone to heaven, but had transmigrated?

Xie Shiwei rushed into the nearby restroom, splashed several handfuls of cold water on his face, and looked up at his familiar face in the mirror, frantically trying to remember where he had heard “He Qin”. The more anxious he was, the less he could remember, until another voice rang out in the restroom.

“Hey, Brother Liu, do you have any kidney-tonifying medicine over there? I’ve been using too much lately, I need to replenish!” A middle-aged man’s rough laughter echoed, “Get some aphrodisiacs too, I have a lot of social engagements this year, it’s unavoidable, but it’s not my problem!”

Aphrodisiacs?

In a flash of lightning, Xie Shiwei remembered a dog-blood web novel with a character named after him.

.

More than half a year ago, Xie Shiwei went to a massage with his colleagues after work.

AHomemale colleague who loved reading web novels took out a novel called “Accidental Relationship”: “This book is practically written for you, take a look.”

He asked, “What do you mean?”

“Hahaha, you have the same name as the cannon fodder character in it, and his ending is especially tragic.”

Xie Shiwei was speechless, “Do you think I’m not miserable enough already, being millions in debt and working day and night to repay it? I have to be even more miserable in a novel?”

His colleague winked, “Oh, that’s not the point, the point is that the main gong in the book is a abstinent and handsome man, with gold-rimmed glasses, a tie, and cufflinks, your favorite type.”

Xie Shiwei immediately wavered.

He was a severe visual person, especially liking abstinent handsome men. He usually worked desperately to save money and didn’t have time to date, so he could only read novels and play BL games to get his fix.

His colleague had expected Xie Shiwei’s reaction and handed him the book with a smirk.

He glanced through the book, getting a general idea of the main plot.

“Accidental Relationship” was a dog-blood wealthy family story with no moral compass.

The wealthy young master Xie Shiwei relentlessly pursued the abstinent main gong He Qin, using every means possible to no avail. Even though he used the Xie family’s power to force He Qin to marry him, he still couldn’t win He Qin’s heart or body, and could only prepare an aphrodisiac to seduce his legal husband.

The main shou Bai An was a scheming green tea man who had always had a crush on He Qin. He had saved He Qin’s life, was treated as a younger brother by He Qin, and was also regarded as the number one rival by Xie Shiwei. He happened to discover the wine that Xie Shiwei had prepared, took it first, and drank it with He Qin, climbing into He Qin’s bed.

But in reality, the aphrodisiac didn’t work at all, and nothing happened between them. Bai An acted, making He Qin mistakenly believe that they had spent a night together, and under the call of responsibility, he accepted him, successfully becoming a mistress, and urging He Qin to divorce Xie Shiwei.

The cannon fodder Xie Shiwei, who was kept in the dark, resolutely refused to divorce, and wanted to use the Xie family to suppress the He family’s company and threaten He Qin to change his mind. But at this time, the He Group had already grown large, and He Qin could no longer stand Xie Shiwei’s underhanded tactics, and took the first step to unite with the Xie family’s competitors to bring down the Xie family.

The most dog-blood thing was that among the people who shared a piece of the Xie family’s industry, besides those old rivals, there was actually Xie Shiwei’s stepmother Chen Ning.

Chen Ning was actually the biological mother of the main shou Bai An!

Ms. Chen was a ruthless character. When her former husband’s family went bankrupt, she divorced her husband without hesitation, abandoned her newborn son, and entered the Xie Group to work. Later, she was appreciated by Xie Tian’an and married into the Xie family, playing the role of a virtuous wife and loving mother perfectly. Who knew that Xie Tian’an was not easy to fool either, and never gave her a dime of property.

Later, Chen Ning accidentally recognized her biological son Bai An, secretly recognized him, and encouraged him to seduce He Qin. The mother and son joined forces to make He Qin determined to take revenge on the Xie family, making a fortune after the Xie family collapsed.

Knowing everything, Xie Shiwei was heartbroken. He didn’t look at the traffic when crossing the road and was directly hit by a truck. He Qin then truly fell in love with Bai An and lived a happy life.

.

The cannon fodder Xie Shiwei was both alickdog and stupid, so the real Xie Shiwei hastily finished the book, despised the character in his heart, and then threw the novel to the back of his mind.

As a result, before going to bed, a message popped up on his phone.
