Zheng Xiyao grabbed her eldest brother's clothes with trembling hands, covered her chest with one hand and breathed quickly, and asked in surprise: "Brother, are you saying that I am the one who is going to marry Hawke this time?"
Seeing Zheng Xiyao's expression at this time, Zheng Siqi didn't understand anything. He suddenly said angrily: "What is Hawke doing? He didn't tell you that you are getting married?"
Zheng Xiyao "..." She also wanted to know why, what on earth was the male protagonist thinking?
Zheng Siqi held her hand: "Will you marry him this time?" He was not only worried that the last scene would happen again, but he was also worried that it would not be easy for Hawke to marry Zheng Xiyao this time. There must be something dangerous in it.
After all, she is his biological sister. He can bully her, but others cannot, no matter who they are.
Zheng Xiyao closed her eyes and replied softly: "I..."
"Yes, not only Major General Zheng is curious, I am also curious about your answer."
The male protagonist's voice suddenly sounded.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze, and everyone seemed to have fallen into wordless silence.
Zheng Xiyao subconsciously ducked back and found that there was nowhere to hide on the bed. The whole body seemed to be frozen, unable to move.
She could only stare at the man blankly.
But when he met the man's eyes, he looked into those dark pupils, as if they were sinking into an abyss, cold and hopeless.
Zheng Xiyao looked away in panic.
At this time, Hawke opened the chair next to him and sat on the chair calmly.
"Hello, Marshal Ares." The eldest brother bent down and saluted.
"Long time no see, Major General Zheng." The male protagonist waved his hand. "It seems that you successfully completed the mission from the base star. Congratulations!" He responded lightly.
"Thank you also for the opportunity."
"This is your own merit, your merit."
The two exchanged friendly greetings for a while. Then the air fell silent again.
"Major General Zheng, Yaoyao and I have something to talk about." The male protagonist looked at Zheng Xiyao and said.
Hearing this, Zheng Siqi glanced worriedly at Zheng Xiyao, who was huddled in a corner, and hesitated.
"Brother." Zheng Xiyao trembled to persuade him to stay.
"Don't worry, she will show up at the wedding intact." The male protagonist saw Zheng Siqi's worry and assured him.
After hearing the promise, Zheng Siqi comforted Zheng Xiyao and left the bedroom.
At this point, the room felt breathless. Neither of them spoke, only their low breathing and rapid heartbeat filling the room.
[Host, why don't you apologize and explain? 】The system suddenly made a sound.
【Do you think I don’t want to? ] Zheng Xiyao was stunned for a second and replied: [There is no evidence, just empty talk, he won't believe it. 】
No matter what he says now, Hawke will think it is a lie made out of fear, and the result may be worse.
[But if you don’t say it now, I’m afraid you won’t survive tomorrow. 】
【ah? 】
[Look at the male protagonist’s face, as if he wants to eat you. 】
The system reminded Zheng Xiyao to react and look up at the male protagonist. She found that the man was staring at her with cold eyes.
These are a pair of eyes that look like they are facing an abyss, eyes that have experienced countless lives and deaths. She gradually felt breathless in the eyes that were naturally shocking and oppressive.
Zheng Xiyao took a deep breath: "Hoke..."
When the male protagonist heard her speak, he slowly leaned back, crossed his legs, and stared at Zheng Xiyao calmly.
Zheng Xiyao was attracted by the man's face. His appearance was like a perfect work of God, with no flaw in it. No matter who it was, the first thing he noticed was his appearance. Just like now, the male protagonist's appearance made her temporarily distracted.
"What are you going to say?" the man interrupted her distraction.
Zheng Xiyao came to her senses: "Um, I heard from my eldest brother that you want to marry me?"
The man's eyes flashed and he moved his fingers: "No."
"Let me tell you, how could you possibly marry me?" Zheng Xiyao felt relieved, and her stiff body instantly relaxed a lot.
"It's a fake marriage."
Zheng Xiyao: "..."
She was stunned for a moment, "Why?"
The man said calmly: "The reactionary forces in Kangsi have been ready to move. In order to uncover this force and annihilate it in one fell swoop, the cabinet decided to hold a wedding to catch a turtle in a jar." He stared at her for a moment.
She didn't understand: "Don't you have a fiancée?" That movie queen Freya.
"Fiancée?" the man murmured, then raised his eyebrows as if remembering something and replied: "Freya can't be hurt. It's my responsibility to protect her."
Zheng Xiyao was stunned for a moment before she understood what the man meant. It turns out that he didn't want the woman he loved to get hurt, so he got her a fake marriage.
But is this really possible? Now everyone knows that he is marrying Freya and not her.
"Don't worry, until the wedding day, no one will know that the bride is you. You only have to appear for ten minutes." The man seemed to understand her thoughts and explained.
Zheng Xiyao didn't speak when she heard this. Hawke stared at the hesitant Zheng Xiyao, suddenly stood up and walked towards her.
This move scared Zheng Xiyao. She subconsciously leaned back.
Hawke held her shoulders and lifted her chin. Take a closer look at the woman's delicate face. There was a hint of interest in his eyes.
"What, Yaoyao, are you angry?"
Zheng Xiyao was stunned, and it took her a long time to realize what the male protagonist was saying, and then she started shaking her head wildly, like a rattle.
Seeing the woman's eager denial, the male protagonist was not happy, but his face became more and more gloomy. Suddenly, his hand moved down, grabbed his neck, and slowly tightened it.
The sudden suffocation made Zheng Xiyao breathless and turned pale.
She was terrified of hitting a man's hand. After a while, the man let go. He looked at the woman who kept coughing and said calmly: "It turns out that you are really a human being. I thought you were a heartless monster."
Hearing Hawke's words, Zheng Xiyao's heart trembled. This made her feel very uneasy.
She returned to normal and looked at the male protagonist. When she met his deep eyes, she still couldn't help but want to dodge.
"I'm a normal person."
"Ah."
The man chuckled softly.
"Do you believe me?" Why did the male protagonist let her participate in such an important matter.
"I don't believe it." The man replied decisively.
"?"
"I only believe in my own abilities." He paused: "You can't leave my side."
Zheng Xiyao's eyes widened. The man in front of her exuded confidence and calmness.
The man looked down at her condescendingly and asked seriously: "Will you marry me?"
Zheng Xiyao was stunned for a moment before she realized that the male protagonist was asking her if she would cooperate with him.
She subconsciously observed the male protagonist's expression, and when she met his deep cold eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
His instinct told him that he must agree.
"good."
Zheng Xiyao decisively agreed.
The male protagonist lowered his eyes, and she saw the man's clenched fists slowly unclenching. She breathed out, feeling that she had escaped death.
But she didn't notice that the male protagonist raised his hand slightly, as if he wanted to stop her shoulders and hug her. Finally it stopped in mid-air and then put it down.
The man received a satisfactory answer and was ready to leave.
Zheng Xiyao stopped the male protagonist: "Hoke, don't you want to know the truth about how I escaped from marriage?"
Hawke's strong back tensed and he stopped: "What, you want to tell me that you didn't want to leave at the beginning?"
Zheng Xiyao was silent.
"Heh, then there's no need to explain." Hawke responded with a sneer.
