Chapter 15

"Holy crap?! Why has my source of happiness been blocked?"

Early in the morning, Zhao Tiantian, who was feeling sleepy, woke up while watching Xyin.

Shu Yao handed her the heated sandwich and asked casually, "What?"

"Couple Observation, I should have mentioned this to you before, right? I specialize in random interviews with couples, and I always see all kinds of weird couples. I don't know why it was suddenly blocked."

Shu Yao just felt that it sounded familiar at first, but after taking a bite of the sandwich, he remembered, isn’t this the number he used for the interview at the Civil Affairs Bureau yesterday?

Blocked?

520 is coming soon, and it’s blocked?

Shu Yao also took out his phone and looked through it.

The account "Couple Observation" has only a few hundred thousand followers, and its presence is not very strong on the short video website where there are many large accounts with millions of followers.

So after the account was banned for spreading rumors, the company behind it didn't seem to have any desire to struggle any further. Within a day, the account was drowned in the huge amount of online information and no one mentioned it.

And that interview seemed to have no further developments.

Is this destined by God?

Did he know they would get divorced one day, so he hinted to them not to make it official? But indeed, Shu Yao thought, this was a good thing. The more people knew about it, the more trouble there would be after the divorce.

"I'm speechless!" Zhao Tiantian was furious. "I can't even eat breakfast."

Shu Yao said quietly, "You should eat first. I want to tell you something later."

"Can't tell now?"

"I'm afraid if I tell you, you won't be able to eat anymore." Shu Yao made himself a cup of coffee and sat down next to Zhao Tiantian.

"So mysterious." Zhao Tiantian quickened her pace and brought the cup rim close to her lips.

"hot……"

Shu Yao was about to remind her when Zhao Tiantian frowned and a few drops of coffee dripped from her lips and flowed down her chin.

Shu Yao quickly grabbed the bag next to her and took out a tissue to wipe her mouth. She didn't even notice that something had been taken out.

Zhao Tiantian wiped her mouth and drank some cold water. The tip of her tongue was still numb, but it had somewhat eased.

She threw the tissue into the trash can, stuck out her tongue, and her eyes swept over the bag that fell on the table beside her, and suddenly stopped.

The red color on the opening of the bag is too eye-catching and too familiar.

She pulled it out and saw that it was indeed a marriage certificate.

“…”

Zhao Tiantian opened the book with trembling fingertips, and when she saw the photo with a red background, her eyes went blank.

For a moment, I seemed to see her breasts.

"Damn it, Shu Yaoyao, you're so bold!" Zhao Tiantian turned around and put on the air of a queen questioning her. "I thought you were just talking nonsense when you said you wanted to find someone for a fake marriage, but you're really serious about it?! And... you really found Chen Ye?!"

Shu Yao handed her the coffee again and patted her shoulder: "Don't get excited."

"How can I not be excited? You got the marriage certificate yesterday, why didn't you tell me?"

"I wanted to tell you, but weren't you on a graduation trip with your classmates these days? I was afraid that if I told you over the phone, you wouldn't be able to have a good time, so I thought I'd wait until you got home tonight to tell you. But your flight was delayed, and I was already asleep when you got back."

"Okay, then let's let bygones be bygones. Tell me why you two got married."

"It's a bit of a long story."

"Summarize it in twenty words."

Shu Yao counted on his fingers: "He was urged to get married by his grandmother, and I was urged to get married by my mother. We hit it off immediately and the cooperation went smoothly."

Shu Yao smiled and said, "Exactly twenty words."

"..." Zhao Tiantian finished a third of her coffee in one gulp, still dazed, "You got the marriage certificate so suddenly, won't your mother be suspicious?"

"Actually..." Shu Yao looked conflicted, "I haven't told her yet."

Zhao Tiantian: "Ah???"

"I don't know how to put it."

"But it's something you have to say sooner or later, right?"

"That's right." Shu Yao thought, if he stuck his head out, he'd get stabbed, and if he hid his head, he'd get stabbed too. It would be better to die early and be reborn sooner. "Then I'll tell you now."

She took out her cell phone and called Shu Meiru.

Zhao Tiantian was like Black Cat Sheriff, her eyes were as big as bells, and she raised her fists to cheer her up.

The other end answered almost immediately: "Hello? Yaoyao."

"Mom." Shu Yao chose her words carefully, "I want to tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Shu Meiru's tone was completely different from last night, and she returned to her usual gentle state.

My mother always calms down quickly in front of her.

Shu Yao knew that it was not due to her personality, but simply because she couldn't bear to be angry with her daughter.

Because of this, Shu Yao actually didn't want to deceive her.

But, there is really no other way...

She clenched her right fist and whispered, “Shen Ye and I got the marriage certificate.”

After saying that, Shu Yao closed his eyes unconsciously, ready to accept a wave of bombardment.

However, unexpectedly, Shu Meiru just uttered one word very calmly: "Oh."

Shu Yao:?

"That's it?"

"Ah, no." Shu Meiru seemed to have just realized, "What did you just say? Get a marriage certificate? Who did you get a marriage certificate with?"

Shu Yao answered again: "With Chen Ye."

"You got the marriage certificate so hastily?" Shu Meiru said in a surprised tone, "You've only been dating for a month or two, right? You haven't even met your parents, and you've already got the marriage certificate?"

"I originally wanted to..."

Shu Yao was about to find an excuse to explain, but Shu Meiru convinced herself: "Forget it, it seems that Old Liu's daughter and her boyfriend got married after the third meeting. It's your business as young people, just be happy."

It was so easy?

Shu Yao couldn't believe it: "Mom, you're not angry, are you?"

"Why should I be angry?" Shu Meiru said, "Xiaoyao, Mom may have been too controlling before, but it was also because I was worried about you and wanted you to be well. Last night... was I a little too harsh? Later, when I went back and thought about it, I really might have been wrong..."

Shu Yao still felt strange, "Mom, did something happen?"

Shu Meiru sighed. "After I came back last night, I heard from your aunt that the blind date I introduced to you seems to have been put in jail for rape. Your aunt apologized to me. To be honest, I never thought it was such a person. It's a good thing you didn't end up together."

"In jail?"

"Yeah, I heard it happened a year or two ago, and I don't know how it was suddenly dug up again. The evidence was pretty solid, so they arrested him right away. I'm scared when I think about it now. If you were really with him at the time, who knows what he would have done to you."

No wonder, Shu Yao thought, her mother suddenly changed so much.

"It's okay, it's all over."

"Yeah." Shu Meiru's voice was filled with laughter, and her tone became more relaxed. "Since you're married, you should get along well with Aye. Mom thinks this guy is good."

Aye?

It's just one side, isn't it cooked too quickly?

Shu Yao smiled and replied, "Yeah."

The expected storm did not happen. After Shu Yao hung up the phone, he relaxed completely. His appetite instantly increased, and he took another piece of toast.

Zhao Tiantian listened to the whole thing and was happy for her: "It sounds like your mother isn't as scary as I thought."

"She is a little different from usual." It might be that Li Chengwei's incident made the mother reflect on herself, or it might be because the mother thought they had been dating for a while, so she was mentally prepared, or it might be because she really wanted her to get married.

Anyway, no matter what the reason was, the result was a surprise for Shu Yao.

Zhao Tiantian sighed with emotion: "As expected, people's luck is conserved. You met an idiot like your colleague, but you also met a jackpot like Chen Ye."

"It's really the jackpot." Not only did she get a fake husband with perfect acting skills, but she also got a cheap and efficient gaming agent.

Speak of the devil and he will appear.

As soon as Chen Ye was mentioned, Shu Yao's phone screen lit up.

When Shu Yao saw the content clearly, his eyes lit up.

Chen Ye: [Do you have time to help take care of Little Cookie? I'm going abroad.]

"Oh, you're living apart right after getting married." Zhao Tiantian held her chin with a look of melon-watching.

Shu Yao then remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to mention in the prenuptial agreement whether they needed to live together after marriage.

And Shen Ye didn't mention it either.

But since no one mentioned it, I'll just pretend I don't know for now, Shu Yao thought. It's also good to be a coward occasionally and maintain the status quo.

She turned around and asked Zhao Tiantian if she could bring the cookies over.

After getting Zhao Tiantian's consent, she held a sandwich in her mouth and replied to Shen Ye happily:

[Of course, when? I'll pick it up.]

*

The cookies were delivered by Shen Ye himself that morning.

He not only brought a dog bed, but also a large box of biscuits, daily necessities, toys, and so on.

Zhao Tiantian leaned against the wall, waving at him gossipingly, deliberately prodding him: "What a coincidence, we're destined to be fake brother-in-law."

Chen Ye stuffed the biscuits into Shu Yao's arms and replied to her lightly: "Coincidentally, the former daughter-in-law who is not destined to be together."

Zhao Tiantian:?

Shu Yao immediately understood the point of this statement. She burst out laughing and leaned over to Zhao Tiantian's ear to explain the reason.

“Damn.” Zhao Tiantian pointed at Chen Ye and laughed instead of getting angry, “I really feel sorry for the woman who kisses you in the future. She’ll have to report her mouth to a work injury.”

Zhao Tiantian was quite bold in her retort, but her attitude of slipping away after she finished speaking revealed a bit of cowardice.

Shu Yao unconsciously glanced at his lips, then quickly lowered her head to stroke the dog, trying to hide the smile that she could barely hold back.

Reporting a work injury with your mouth...

The more I think about it, the funnier it gets.

A chilly voice came from above my head: "Still laughing? Feel sorry for yourself."

Shu Yao looked up suddenly: "What?"

Shen Ye pointed at her arm.

Shu Yao looked down and saw that the thin white sweater she was wearing was made of hollow material. Little Biscuit probably thought it was fun and kept gnawing at the cuffs.

The cuffs have been bitten off.

"..." Shu Yao pulled up his sleeves and said dotingly, "It's okay, it's an old sweater. I can't wear it many times anyway."

Biscuit's head was still chasing the cuffs.

He grabbed Shu Yao's arm with his claws and rubbed his little head against her chest.

Shen Ye pressed its head down with one palm.

He was ruthless in the last second, but in the next second, he gently rubbed its head with his palm.

"take care of yourself."

If he hadn't been staring at the dog intently, Shu Yao would have thought he was talking to her.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of it." Shu Yao assured with a smile.

Shen Ye raised his eyes, then rubbed her head.

"The same to you."
