Shush & Marry Me

Chapter 010 Hugging Victoria Tan?

“Uh,” When they heard Victoria said it, the lobby manager and the waiter there were dumbfounded.

Since she didn’t get any response, Victoria tugged Oliver’s arm, swayed it, as if she’s acting cutely towards an old acquaintance, “Let’s get married, okay?”

The situation had become more confusing, she looked like a girlfriend that forced marriage on him. More people were looking over to watch this peculiar scene.

The lobby manager hesitated and asked Oliver, “Excuse me, sir. Do you know this lady?”

If they are strangers, how could this woman make such a request? By randomly grabbing a man and asked for marriage in a hotel restaurant, regardless of his appearance and his nature, whether he’s good or bad.

Oliver remained silent but looked down at her. There was a band-aid on his face. It was the masterpiece from the escape yesterday. He had not taken care of his hair yet and covered half of his eyes. Nobody could see his expression clearly.

“Marry me, handsome guy. I’ll give everything to you as long as you want to marry me.” Victoria said the same request for the third time. The smile on her face also turned a bit stupid. It was completely different from when she encountered the gangster in the bad inn.

There weren’t any cold and arrogant traits, leaving only a fragile and helpless little girl.

The onlooker crowd came to realize that they were strangers. Perhaps it was the first time they met. This woman probably turned stupid because of drinking too much wine and she didn’t know what she’s doing by casually grabbing a man and asked for marriage. What’s the reason?

“Sir, if you’re perplexed, let us take care of this matter, OK? This lady is really drunk and I’m sorry to have caused you such trouble.” The lobby manager explained properly to give Oliver a way out. As

long as Oliver withdrew his hand, he could turn around, and leave immediately. Who would’ve cared about a silly drunk woman?

Before Oliver could answer, Victoria was disappointed with tears in her eyes, “I’m not good, right? Nobody is willing to marry me.”

She loosened her fingers and was about to let Oliver go before she intended to grab the red wine glass on the table again.

Oliver suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand, squeezing it tightly.

“Huh?” Victoria looked up with her blurry vision. Her gaze was ignorant.

As he held her hand, Oliver sensed something unusual with her palm. When he opened it, her palm was full of scabs. It was rough as he rubbed through his fingertips. He pulled her up from her seat. Victoria was unstable and fell on his chest.

As he held her, Victoria raised her head to look at him only to see his face with a band-aid on it. She then smiled again and asked foolishly, “You’re going to marry me, right?”

After all of this, only one thing remained in her mind.

Going beyond everyone’s expectation, this time, Oliver nodded. His pair of eyes that was half-hidden under his bangs, looked straight at her without avoiding.

After getting the consent, Victoria jumped out of joy, and asked insatiably, “Are we going to register the marriage tomorrow?”

Oliver nodded again.

Victoria was satisfied. As if her worry had been brought to an end, she murmured, “Hmm, I’m going to get married too.”

After speaking, she fell onto the man’s arm and closed her eyes, under everyone’s watch.

She stopped creating a disturbance and stopped being troublesome. On the contrary, the whole restaurant strangely quieted down. Everyone shifted their attention from the drunk Victoria to Oliver, who only nodded.

Is he a gentleman that happened to walk by and helped her or is he a bastard who takes advantage of a girl when she’s in danger?

It was clear that the girl looked good and was still young. After causing such trouble, everyone could guess that she’s emotionally hurt. Was the man who promised to marry her, trustworthy?

At this time, the lobby manager felt slightly sympathetic towards Victoria, as he hinted at the waiter beside him with his eyes. Then he walked over to Oliver, and said, “Sir, this lady is drunk. We’ll send her back to her room. You can continue your breakfast, okay?

After he spoke so clearly, Oliver still didn’t let go of the girl in his embrace. Her forehead leaned against his neck. The height was just right every time, but this time, something felt clearly off.

Regardless of the questions and suggestions by the lobby manager, Oliver touched the girl’s forehead in his embrace and he frowned.

Oliver immediately signaled the lobby manager. He couldn’t speak and could only move.

The lobby manager stretched out his hand in a doubt to touch her and immediately understood, “It’s hot! She has a fever! Quickly inform the medical department, Xiao Cheng. This guest has a fever.”

Oliver carried Victoria in his arms. Since he hadn’t recovered his physical strength, he was slightly wobbly when he carried her up although she’s not heavy.

“Please follow me, sir. The medical department is on the eighth floor.” While giving the direction to Oliver, the lobby manager said, “Sir, if it’s not convenient for you, our staff can send the lady there. You can continue your breakfast.”

There was no response to his suggestion. In everyone’s eyes, this weird man who didn’t speak had made up his mind to be a gentleman till the end.

Inside the medical department, after the doctor checked on Victoria, he said to Oliver, “Are you her family? Her body is weak. She caught a cold that caused a fever. Moreover, she also drank a lot of wine, which caused an alcohol allergy.”

She was just fine before and suddenly she had rashes all over her face due to the alcohol, which couldn’t disappear.

Seeing Oliver frowned, his expression turned ugly, the doctor quickly said, “We will treat the patient as soon as possible. Don’t worry, sir.”

After giving Victoria an anti-allergic drug, the rash on her face and neck didn’t continue spreading. After hanging the IV, the doctor instructed, “After finishing the IV, we’ll check again on her condition. We have a professional medical team to serve you. You don’t need to keep watching her, sir.”

Oliver was being indifferent and sat down next to the patient's bed, without any intention to leave.

Victoria slept in a daze. Her face was blushing. Her fever caused her to have chapped lips. As she turned her head, she saw someone sitting next to the bed. She unconsciously reached out for his hand, and muttered, “I feel ill, Frank.”

Oliver let her held his hand, let unclearly her muttered out an unfamiliar name. He pressed his lips and didn’t move.

He had finished shaving his beard, revealing his original face. Although he’s dressed in ordinary clothes, his bangs couldn’t hide his side profile that looked as if it was sculpted perfectly with a knife. Somehow his character became stronger. It was so cold that even the nurse who came to send the medicine didn’t dare to approach. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Knock, knock---“ Someone suddenly knocked on the door lightly. Oliver turned around to look and saw a hotel staff walked in and asked in a low voice, “Excuse me sir, are you, Mr. Jiang? Someone called Mr. Robin is looking for you at the front desk.”

At the hotel front desk, Robin was about to go crazy. He could finally pick him up last night. In the end, he’s sleeping too soundly and lost him again. He didn’t have a phone, what if he’s kidnapped again?

The front desk had prepared to make an announcement but they were stopped by Robin. It was already miserable to have the second young master of the Jiang family to fall into this state. He couldn’t make it known publicly that he is in Nanjin City.

He would just let the hotel security to check the surveillance monitor and found out that he walked out from the restaurant, then walked into the elevator with a woman in his arms.

Robin stared at the monitor and was stunned, “Damn it, couldn’t he wait? Has he become so greedy since he hasn’t seen any woman in a month?”

After knowing that Oliver was together with a woman, Robin was relieved, and let the hotel staff find him.

After Oliver came down from the eighth floor, Robin walked over and grabbed his shoulders before whispering, “Oliver! Mr. Jiang! Can you save the light refreshments for me? You’ve already had fun with a woman since early in the morning. What kind of woman makes you so interested? If she’s Kris’ person, you’ll fall into his trap again!”

Oliver didn’t speak. His throat was in a bad state and even it was painful to swallow.

“Let’s go. Get into the car. I’ll send you back to Jiang’s house safely and my task will be completed! Let me tell you, don’t mess with me!” Robin was about to let go after he finished speaking.

Oliver grabbed him back and spread Robin’s palm in his surprise. He wrote three words by strokes.

The commotion of drawing in someone’s palm had caused a desire for people’s hearts. The passing guests were clearly whispering.

“Are they gay? It’s quite interesting. Both of them are handsome. Guess which one is top and which one is the bottom?”

“What’s interesting? It’s disgusting. Two big men are drawing their palms. Why don’t they just directly book a room?”

“What do you understand about gay is being guilty or not? This is a natural sexual orientation. Whether if they booked a room last night, why do you even care about it?”

“Let’s go. Don’t look at them anymore.”

Robin originally thought that writing on palms was disgusting. But when he realized what he’s writing, he was surprised, “Victoria Tan?”

His eyes widened and asked, “You mean that the woman that you carry upstairs is Victoria Tan?”

Oliver didn’t speak. His expression was implying it.

Robin’s mouth twitched as he gave Oliver thumbs-up, and looked admiring, “Good job, Oliver. You’re awesome. You can still get Victoria even when you’re in this state! How is she in bed…”

“Slap!” Oliver hit Robin’s palm and also interrupted his dirty thoughts.

“Hahaha” Robin laughed out loud, “You don’t let me say it? Mr. Jiang, don’t tell me that you never have a woman after being abroad for so long? Just take that cute sister, Clara, haven’t you done anything with her?”

Oliver was completely impatient. His throat was damaged that he couldn’t speak. He tried his best to endure not punching Robin.

Robin also didn’t ask any further and mischievously waved his hand, “It’s alright. You can keep what’s going on inside the room to yourself. Although I’m your friend, I couldn’t feel it for you. Let’s get back to Victoria.”

Oliver was very interested in this topic and listened to Robin seriously, “You know, Kris has always gotten the attention of the Jiang Group. Both you and he have pros and cons. He hasn’t been married for now and still hasn’t had a girlfriend. He previously intended to pursue the sixth young lady of the Tan family, Ashley Tan. Even though Ashley’s legs are paralyzed and being in a wheelchair for her lifetime, her family is powerful. They were Senior General Tan’s most outstanding son and daughter-in- law. If he could get Ashley and connected to the Tan family through marriage, then Kris would have a better chance of winning the Jiang Group. Do you understand me?”

“You surely understand, right?” Robin smirked, “A guy from an unknown origin suddenly came out halfway to marry Ashley. The wedding will be held on the 8th of this month. Kris’ plan has failed. If Victoria is single, then she will be the last chance for Kris to marry into the Tan family. Since you have an advantage with Victoria, can you guess Kris’ expression?”
