Mr. Dior - Chap 1 The President’s Million Dollar Bride
BOOK I: The President’s Million Dollar Bride_Chapter 1.1
“Doctor, from the wounded victims in the multiple car accident just a moment ago, is there someone who was called Zhangda diao [1] … cough …. named Zhang Chenfei?”
Jiao Qi is currently sweating profusely as he ran without stopping earlier towards the center of the hospital. The suit coat in his hand has been crumpled but he was totally unaware of it.
“… in the emergency room. Are you a family member? Pay the deposit first.” The doctor on duty answered while turning over the record sheet.
“President Jiao!” Taking advantage of the person in the consultation desk who was snoring loudly, Secretary Yu Yuan called out to his president while gasping for his own breath. His plump body wiggles while running three steps after another to chase after Jiao Qi.
He originally followed the president to a dinner party, but he just shook hands with the client when they received a phone call from the hospital telling them that Jiao Qi’s legal husband, Zhang Chenfei, met a car accident.
He had followed Jiao Qi for three years, and this is the first time Yu Yuan saw him panicked as his face turned pale. Disregarding work, he grabbed his coat and left hurriedly.
He had no alternative but to apologize to the client. Carrying his weight of 180 pounds, he ran out as well to catch up with his boss. With a speed of 180 mph, he drove all the way to the hospital.
Jiao Qi threw a card to his secretary, turned around and walked to the emergency room.
Yu Yuan, with his small plump body, deeply gasped for breath before walking over to the doctor on duty and then smiled, revealing two deep small dimples: “Where can I make the payment?”
Upon entering the emergency room, Jiao Qi saw a dozen beds inside. Looking at those blue sheets made people dizzy. He sucked in a deep breath and tried to locate his family’s husband in the chaotic crowd.
Science and technology are continuously progressing and society is also developing. Nowadays, same-sex marriage is legal and he has been married to Zhang Chenfei for seven years. The past seven years had been calm and very sweet without great winds and high waves.
Jiao Qi would have never thought that the “car accident” would happen to his husband and will become the reason to make him “comply with his rules” every day.
A chain of car collision occurred on the viaduct that resulted to more than 20 casualties who were put together inside this emergency room.
“Ah–it hurts!”
“Quick! This one should be on surgery right away!”
“Doctor, you quickly save him, wu wu wuu…….”
The other patients were either surrounded by doctors or surrounded by their families, and only his family’s husband sat alone.
The tall body was tucked in a less than a meter wide bed with his head dangling. A gauze was wrapped around his head which made him look somewhat pitiful.
There were no missing arms and legs and seeing this, Jiao Qi who had been clenching his cold fingers relaxed a little.
“Are you okay?” He draped the suit in his hand over Zhang Chenfei’s body whose shirt had lost its two buttons. He was about to turn around to call the doctor but he was suddenly caught on the wrist.
Zhang Chenfei looked up and several bruises could be seen on his face. The gauze on his forehead was oozing with bright red color but it did not, in the slightest, decreased the handsomeness of his face.
In those deep black eyes of Jiao Qi reflected Zhang’s clear, handsome and indifferent face who suddenly sneered at him: “What’s wrong, seeing that I met with an accident made you very happy?”
“Hey! Zhangda diao! What the f*** do you mean??!” Jiao Qi shook the hand that was holding him and trembled. When he heard of his accident, he was so scared to death. How could this person say such hurtful words?
Zhang Chenfei lifted up his lips and smiled very abnormally, as if he was a perverted murderer in certain crime films. In some film and television works, this is what they call “charming evil smile”.
Zhang Chenfei pressed Jiao Qi into his bosom and pinched his chin with one hand. With a deep, magnetic voice, he slowly said: “You are my wife. As long as you are obedient, the money that your father owes will eventually be paid in full. Remember my name, Dior Zhang.”
Ha???
“Zhangda diao, have you badly knocked your brains off?” Jiao Qi blinked. “My dad has money, okay? He just bought two acres of land in the city the day before yesterday. When did he owe you money?”
Cupping the big head wrapped in gauze in his hands, Jiao Qi felt heartbroken. His family’s husband was definitely injured in the car crash earlier. He had to hurry and call the doctor to conduct a brain CT. Jiao Qi struggled to go down but Zhang Chenfei caught him tight.
“Let me go.”
“You can’t escape from the palm of my hands!”
” … ”
“Uh … Mr. Zhang?
The two traffic police uncles stood by the bedside. Looking at the two tangled husbands, they do not know if they should speak aloud or not.
Regarding the chain of rear-end collisions, Zhang’s car has the best performance and Zhang Chenfei suffered the lightest injuries, therefore, he needs to be investigated first.
Jiao Qi turned his head around to see the traffic police looking up at the lights. Jiao Qi was like a fish that had been electrocuted and bounced off the floor. He coughed and fixed his necktie in order: “Sorry, what’s the matter?”
“Ah, we are investigating whether or not there is a violation in the high beam of the emergency room….” The traffic police who insisted on looking up at the lights was hit by an elbow on his side. “The things is, we found a driving recorder in Mr. Zhang’s car, but we need brain power authorization to examine it.”
With the rapid development of science and technology, people now use smart brain [2] instead of mobile phones. Smart brain consists of two parts. The first one is a microchip that is implanted into the brain and is connected to the neurons, and the other is a peripheral similar to a wrist watch.
When Zhang Chenfei heard this, he casually and swiftly removed the black gold strap on his wrist. His smart brain peripheral had already been wiped clean in the car accident. The display is now pitch-black and the electric power is nearly depleted.
“This…” The two traffic policemen turned anxious.
“It’s alright, I give my permission.” Jiao Qi exposed his own silver peripheral.
At this moment, the doctor came over to check Zhang Chenfei’s case. Jiao Qi immediately pulled the doctor away to get a clear explanation of Zhang Chenfei’s condition.
Notes:
[1] Zhang is the surname of our male lead here. ‘Da’ means ‘big’. ‘Diao’ is a colloquial term in Mandarin that means ‘cool/extraordinary’ or ‘cock/penis’. ‘Diao’ also means ‘to fuck’ in Cantonese. As we go along, ‘diao’ will be used differently (sometimes it refers to the Mandarin meaning and sometimes, its Cantonese meaning) but Jiao Qi’s form of address to Zhang Chenfei which is Zhangda diao literally means ‘Zhang big cock’. But of course, I will not be using the translated phrase because it will be distracting on my part… so I will retain the pinyin for it. I have only skimmed through the story but I think there’s a reason why Jiao Qi calls his husband like that and we will eventually get to that part.
[2] Smart Brain – The literal translation from the raw is Wisdom Brain or Knowledge Brain, but, it was mentioned that this thing replaced the smartphones that we have now. Hence, I used smart brain … hahahahahahaha! *cough* … well, it would be easier for me to translate this way considering the logic behind…. *wink* As you may all know, this could also be referred to as AI (Artificial Intelligence). In this novel, smart brain is made up of two parts. First, there is a microchip implanted to the brain that is also connected to the neurons. Second, there is a peripheral linked to the smart brain in the form of a bracelet or wrist watch.

“Doctor, you quickly examine him. There was something amiss in what he was saying.”
The examination would take relatively long and given the busy schedule of the traffic police, Jiao Qi decided to take the two people out to the corridor. He opened the smart brain to connect it with the driving recorder.
The virtual screen appeared and showed the ten minutes before the car accident. At that time, there was a traffic jam on the elevated roads and the car’s movement was very slow.
“Another dinner party!” In the background of the video, the voice of Zhang Chenfei was heard and seemed rather dissatisfied.
Jiao Qi recalled that he had sent him a message at that time. He told him that there was a dinner party in the evening so he estimated that he will be home by 10 o’clock in the evening. His heart can not help but thump. This person, in order to answer him, should not have unavoidably met an accident, right?
“The cute little wives of the other families have already finished cooking at home and were already waiting for their husbands to come back. You would rather go to that dinner party than come home to me.” After pouting and grumbling with his complaints, Zhang Chenfei sent back a very unfeeling response of “got it” and then closed the chat.
“Louis XIII, find a novel to listen to.”
The soliloquy shown on ordinary days was inconsistent with the celebrity image of President Zhang. Knowing about it made the atmosphere slightly awkward so the traffic police dutifully asked, “Who is Louis XIII?”
“His smart brain…” Jiao Qi replied.
The smart brain Louis XIII immediately found a novel, and read the novel’s brief introduction with its ice-cold mechanical voice.
【 In order to pay for his father’s debt, she was forced to marry the overbearing man. On the night of the wedding, he forcibly took possession of her.
“Please, stop.”
“Oh, this is is not enough!” 】
The mechanical voice was somewhat strange, but it sounds very cool and invigorating. Zhang Chenfei let Louis XIII download the novel and decided that today, he will listen to this.
Just after reading two sentences, a sharp brake sound was suddenly heard, and then a loud crash followed. At this, the screen shook violently. Zhang Chenfei’s body seemed to be pushed by whatever power and crashed into the front of the car.
The traffic police took away this part of the video and comforted Jiao Qi by saying that Zhang Chenfei has no responsibility on this matter. He then moved to another place and continued to investigate.
Back in the emergency room, the doctor had finished examining Zhang Chenfei.
“The examination result shows that there is no problem with your husband’s functions. However, there was a deviation in his cognition of this world from his own. At present, we do not know how to treat it. Do you want to take him back home and observe him first?” The doctor said helplessly.
“You are saying that this is not a problem?!” Jiao Qi asked the doctor inconceivably as he pointed at his husband who, from time to time, reveals a charming evil smile. This is obviously an awfully big problem!
The plump Secretary Yu Yuan stood on one side and whispered: “Is that … a facial nerve damage?”
“…”
Ignorant fatty could not understand the president’s strange behavior.
The doctor can not give any reason to confine him, so he insisted that Zhang Chenfei does not need to be hospitalized. Thus, Jiao Qi had to bring him home in the end.
Although he feels uncertain in his heart, Jiao Qi still took Zhang Chenfei’s hand. They walked along the corridor of the hospital that is filled with the smell of disinfectant, prompting many young girls to steal sight of them.
“Those two men are so handsome!”
“The tall one looks a bit like Zhang Chenfei, that of, Shi Fei Technology…”
“No way!”
Jiao Qi did not know what the people were talking about. He only felt countless lines of sight directed to their direction and could not help but quicken his pace. It feels like those gazes were saying “the husband accidentally became silly and the wife still did not abandon him” which is perceived to be a solemn and moving picture of a loving couple.
Zhang Chenfei was not flustered. One hand is inside his trouser’s pocket, and the other hand was being dragged away by the wife. Looking at him with interest, he asked: “Man, what tricks are you playing?”
They had just walked next to their own car when Jiao Qi was suddenly pushed by his husband into the front passenger seat. He fastened his seat belt tightly and slammed him into the car seat. “Oh, do you want to take this opportunity to run away?”
The shirt that lost its buttons could not stop the overflowing male hormones and this caused people to blush.
“Run, your sister! I’ll drive!”
Jiao Qi lifted his hands to relieve the seat belt, but he was tightly held by the other person. His wrists were pressed over his head, and then his husband suddenly kissed him in a rough manner without any explanation. This kiss is different from the past. It is one hundred percent passionate and overbearing. It made Jiao Qi somewhat distracted, and forgot to resist for a time.
“Man, don’t anger me. You wouldn’t be able to bear it.” Zhang Chenfei smiled devilishly while rubbing his wife’s wet lips with his thumb. He smartly shut the door and stepped into the rhythm of the night wind, and with an incomparable coquettish behavior, he got into the driver’s seat.
“You… where are we going?” Jiao Qi looked at him with distrust.
Zhang Chenfei glanced at him and then stepped on the accelerator without a word and drifted out in an instant. They did not return to the apartment where they live during workdays, but directly drove to the luxury villas in the suburbs.
Fortunately, his driving skills and common sense are still there. Jiao Qi ignored him for a moment. First, he made a phone call to pass on his husband’s medical records and also everything that happened today to a private doctor. Afterwards, he also called the client he met today and apologized. When the call was done, he tiredly kneaded his glabella*.
{T/N: glabella* – anatomy. the smooth part of the forehead above and between the eyebrows}
The villa is a little far from the city center. Usually at this time, Jiao Qi should be relaxing and lying down to sleep. But today, he wouldn’t dare to sleep. He took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth.
The area around the villa was quiet in the evening and even from afar, one can hear the full horsepower of the car. The butler and the servant immediately opened the door and greeted: “Sir, you are back.”
Zhang Chenfei gets out of the car, pulled out the lovely little wife from the front passenger seat, and hugs him tightly in his bosom: “Starting today, he is my wife. You must call him Madame.”
“Ha?” The butler was shaken and his mouth trembled. Is the old gentleman muddle-headed or confused? Haven’t we done it for seven years already?
