Translator: 549690339
Xi Muchen opened the door in a flash, and Xia Wanwan felt she had suddenly lost the ability to speak.
Dumbstruck, she greeted him, "Hi..."
"Wanwan, are you looking for me because you need something?"
"I need your help..." Xia Wanwan closed her eyes, then opened them as if she had mustered all her courage before she continued, "Today, my dad came to the office looking for me. He... seems to like you quite a bit. And... he misunderstood our relationship, thinking that we're already married. I'm worried he'll force me to marry Shangguan Jinghao, and in the moment, I didn't deny it..."
Xi Muchen was slightly startled, feeling a surge of joy, but his face remained composed. He raised an eyebrow in a gesture that seemed to prompt her to continue.
"What I mean is, can you please pretend to be married to me?" Xia Wanwan finally got the words out.
Xi Muchen clearly hadn't expected this development, and his expression slowly fell apart...
He looked at her in disbelief.
