As he just entered the office, Sheng Yeting couldn't help but see Chen Ma's happy face when she saw Bao. He felt melancholy for a moment. If he were to have his own child in the future, would the child be as lovely as Bao?

As he was thinking about that, Jiang Xiyun barged in suddenly. He went straight to him and asked: “Bro, you got married? Seriously?”

Sheng Yeting frowned: “How did you know?”

Seeing Sheng Yeting not denying it, Jiang Xiyun confirmed his suspicion and said: “My aunt told me. I didn't believe it at first. Turns out it is true?”

Jiang Xiyun looked like he was expecting some gossip materials. If it wasn't for his aunt who worked at marriage registration office, he couldn't have known this important information so soon.

Sheng Yeting frowned even more after hearing that. How could he forget about this? Jiang Xiyun’s aunt was as gossipy as Jiang Xiyun himself. “Call your aunt. Tell her to keep it a secret.” Sheng Yeting said, feeling a headache.

Jiang Xiyun nodded and said: “Relax, bro. I’ve already made sure of that. Now, tell me, what is going on? Whom did you marry?”

The CEO of the eminent Sheng’s Group got married, which was a big news. For Sheng Yeting to do it so secretly, there must be something fishy going on.

Sheng Yeting ignored him and kept on reading the materials for his meeting later, and left Jiang Xiyun babbling alone.

Seeing Sheng Yeting so calm about it, Jiang Xiyun negated all his guesses, but one person came to his mind. He asked puzzledly: “The woman you married, could it be Miss Xia from last night?”

Sheng Yeting was going through the files and his hands stopped: “What if it was?”

Did this mean he admit it?

Jiang Xiyun clapped his thigh. It was Miss Xia. He knew there was something going on between those two.

“Bro. I can't believe you got married. I thought you were a bachelorist, and you were going to stay a bachelor forever.” Jiang Xiyun couldn't help but sigh, still looking shocked.

Sheng Yeting gave him a cold look and said: “You thought it wrong. I didn't intend to get married in a short time. It didn't mean I don't want marriage forever.”

Jiang Xiyun was his good friend. If it was someone else, he wouldn't trouble himself to explain.

But Jiang Xiyun was not buying Sheng Yeting’s story. He said: “Yeah, right. It's obvious that you were hurt too deeply before. Otherwise, why would you stay away from women all these years?”

Without finishing his sentence, he got a death stare from Sheng Yeting. Jiang Xiyun got scared and shut up.

Seeing him stop talking, Sheng Yeting retracted his gaze and said calmly: “My wife is Xia Xingcheng now. I have nothing to do with anyone else. As for hurt? No one has been capable to hurt me yet. That is ridiculous!”

It suddenly occurred to him that hazy night five years ago. The only time he lost control was five years ago when he slept with an unknown woman. As for any other time, he had full control of everything, including his heart.

Jiang Xiyun nodded at once: “I know, I know, bro. It was my fault.”

They all heard what happened before from that woman. No one knew whether it was true or not.

They stopped talking about this matter. Then Jiang Xiyun got serious and said to Sheng Yeting tentatively: “Xia Xingcheng had a son with her. How could your family give their permission to that?”

Sheng Yeting answered contemptuously: “Do I need anyone's permission to do anything?”

Jiang Xiyun was choked by his words and couldn't retort. Sheng Yeting was right. Even Sheng Yeting’s grandfather had no idea what to do with him. So why should Jiang Xiyun worry about it?

Jiang Xiyun sighed helplessly and stopped asking questions. He believed that everything Sheng Yeting did had its own reasons. "You newlyweds, should you ask some of our bros out for a drink?"

Jiang Xiyun was eager to see how Sheng Yeting would treat his new wife. He had never seen Sheng Yeting being tender.

Sheng Yeting shook his head: “She doesn't have the time. Maybe later.”

Jiang Xiyun shut up unwillingly. He couldn’t help but say to himself. ‘They just got married, and Sheng Yeting already planned out her schedule. Will she have a say in their marriage?’

And it was true that Xia Xingcheng didn't have the time. After registering the marriage, Chen Ma showed her and Bao around the house. She didn't have time to report to Stardust Entertainment until the afternoon.

Even though she got married, she didn't want to rely on Sheng Yeting. She wanted to work hard and get rid of the Xia family as soon as possible.

But when Xia Xingcheng got to work, she noticed that the atmosphere in the company was really weird as everyone there looked panicky. She was suspicious and asked the receptionist: “What is going on here? How come here are so few people at work?”

Indeed, there were not many people in the office. Even those who were there were doing their own things. It seemed like no one was really working.

The receptionist was stunned a little after seeing a new face, Xia Xingcheng. She didn’t expect the company to hire new people at this time. But still she answered truthfully: “Company’s performance has not been good recently. Now we are laying off staff. Many people will lose their jobs. That's why.”

After hearing this, Xia Xingcheng was stunned too. How come her luck was so bad? She just got this job and this happened. Was she gonna lose her job again?

Feeling helpless, she could only go to the office to see the HR manager who interviewed her that day.

That middle-aged HR manager was surprised to see Xia Xingcheng. Then he realized he only hired her because she was pretty.

That HR manager sighed and tried to console her: “Miss Xia. This is not up to me. We need to sort out the company in recent few days. As for whether you can stay, you’ll have to wait for notice.”

Although the HR manager knew Xia Xingcheng was a talent, but his boss hadn't given him orders yet, so there was nothing he could do to help her.

Hearing this, Xia Xingcheng sighed sadly inside her heart. With nothing to do here but having to go home, she was very depressed.
