Lin Yue stammered out what she thought was a perfect reason, but the man beside her immediately darkened his face, a flash of anger crossing his deep eyes, which he quickly quelled.

"Uncle?" Song Yunzheng asked with a sneer.

"Jiang Li, my uncle needs to see me about something. Wait here for me, I'll be right back!"

After saying that, Lin Yue took Song Yunzheng's hand and walked towards the restroom, afraid that if she was a step too late, he would reveal their relationship to the public.

Song Yunzheng let Lin Yue pull him along like that, wanting to hear how she would explain herself!

As they reached the corner of the restroom, Lin Yue immediately let go of his hand, looked up at him, and clasped her hands together apologetically, saying, "I'm sorry, Dr. Song. I had no choice but to say that just now. You know, I don't want our classmates to know that we got our marriage certificate. I hope you don't mind me making things up outside."

Song Yunzheng stared at her silently for a while, and finally slowly said, "I don't mind, and I allow you to call me uncle in front of your classmates, but... I have one condition."

A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Yue's clear and bright eyes. He agreed so readily, even though there were conditions attached, but nothing was more urgent than this matter right now!

"What are the conditions?"

"In private, you have to call me by other names."

"Can't I just call you by your name?" Her voice trailed off.

"no!"

"What's it called?"

Song Yunzheng suddenly leaned closer, staring intently at her, and said, "Call me husband."

Lin Yue's face instantly turned red. "This...this isn't good, is it? What if someone hears this and misunderstands?"

"Misunderstanding? We are legally married. There's only one condition: call me husband in private, and call me whatever you want in public." Song Yunzheng said matter-of-factly, as if there was no room for negotiation.

"For example... that's what you should call me now."

"Isn't this... taking advantage of me?"

Lin Yue hesitated for a moment, then finally called out softly, "Husband..." Her voice was barely audible.

Song Yunzheng nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, say it again."

Lin Yue's face turned even redder. Under his gaze, she forced herself to call out again, "Husband!" She spoke very quickly, as if afraid that others would hear her.

Looking at her blushing cheeks, Song Yunzheng felt extremely satisfied. For some reason, seeing her dressed like this, especially at a bar, and thinking about the way Gu Song looked at her, made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable!

He believed that perhaps because they had registered their marriage, he automatically considered her his own. Even if there was no affection between them, she was his wife in name only, and no one else was allowed to have any contact with her!

Then, Jiang Li saw Lin Yue walking over from the restroom with a flushed face, and quickly went up to her and asked, "What's wrong? Why is your face so red! Did your uncle scold you?"

Faced with the three questions Jiang Li posed in succession, Lin Yue told herself not to panic and to listen to her slowly make up a story.

"Um...yes, that's right, he scolded me. He wouldn't let me drink cold drinks. You know, OB-GYNs are all pretty careful about that." Lin Yue said, trying to sound casual.

"Um... it's getting late, we should go back." Before Jiang Li could ask any more questions, Lin Yue pulled her towards the elevator.

As she turned around, Lin Yue subconsciously glanced at Song Yunzheng and saw him looking at her with a smile. At that moment, her heart skipped a beat.

"A devil! That person is a bewitching devil!" she thought to herself, unconsciously quickening her pace and fleeing outside as if she were escaping.

Gu Song looked at the scene before him, completely bewildered. "What's going on? You two knew each other all along?"

We met about two weeks ago.

"Judging from your behavior just now, your relationship... is not ordinary, is she your girlfriend?"

Gu Song felt a pang of resentment when he thought about how he had finally met such a pure girl, only to have Song Yunzheng, that sexually apathetic guy, beat him to it.

Song Yunzheng picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and shook his head.

Gu Song immediately felt relieved, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"She's my wife!"

"Wife?" Gu Song's smile vanished instantly as he stared at Song Yunzheng in disbelief.

"When the hell did you get married? Who are you trying to fool?" He slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage, accidentally knocking over a wine glass and spilling wine all over the floor.

Song Yunzheng ignored his question, patted the wine stains on his clothes, stood up, walked to his side, and whispered, "Don't worry about when I got married. Just remember that girl is my wife. Keep your little schemes to yourself and don't try anything with her."

"The drinks on your tab tonight are on me."

He was grateful he'd asked him out tonight, otherwise he wouldn't have known his barely-known wife could be so alluring just by dressing up! He had to be on high alert; he absolutely couldn't allow himself to be cuckolded!
