Shush & Marry Me

Chapter 001 Picking Up a Scary Man

In the midsummer night, the rain was pouring heavily. The voice of the weather forecast announcer came from the car radio, sounded soft and graceful, “There will be rainstorms from tonight until tomorrow morning in Jincheng. Please be prepared in advance and reconsider the night trip.”

There was only Victoria, who was driving on the mountain winding road.

The car headlight lighted up the zigzag and bending road but the lights couldn’t penetrate through the raindrops. The large raindrops fell on the car window. The rain washed down the car windshield. Her vision became blurred, drenched, and flustered, as if there’s no end.

Victoria took one of her hands away from the steering wheel and stroked her throat. It was slightly hard to breathe. After being on the road for several days, her energy was completely drenched. The female announcer on the radio continued to soothe people with her warm voice, “ In a few days, it will be Chinese Valentine’s Day, Qixi Festival. I believe that many couples will hold their weddings on this day. The wedding of the remarkable fashion designer, Ashley Tan, and her fiancé, Frank Lu, will also be held on the day of the Qixi Festival.”

Ashley and Frank.

Listening to both the names that were stuck together, Victoria’s eyes were sore and her heart was pounding. She almost couldn’t hold the steering wheel. Just when she blinked her tears away from the corner of her eyes and the car made a right-angle turn, a tall dark figure suddenly appeared in the woods ahead.

Victoria stepped on the brake hastily and could only hear the squeaking sound. Then, followed by the shock from the car frame that hit a hard object, the car stopped abruptly. Before she could recover from her shock, the black shadow collapsed to the ground.

The accident happened too fast but after a few seconds, it was silent again. The rainstorm continued to pour. The wiper on the windshield regularly swept away the raindrops, and the radio continued to play a relaxing love song. If it wasn’t because her car stopped on the edge of the winding road and almost hit the guardrail, Victoria would think that the shadow just now was just an illusion.

She hit someone.

With her blank mind, Victoria changed her car transmission to the neutral gear, unlocked her seatbelt, and got off the car, while ignoring her umbrella. She walked around in front of her car and saw someone was lying on the ground. He was about half a meter away from her car.

Victoria exhaled and blinked a few raindrops on her eyelashes away. Luckily, she didn’t hit him.
