Gu Zhendong answered a phone call outside, and when he turned around, he saw Lu Sangsang.

She clearly seemed to have been waiting for a long time and had something to say to him.

Gu Zhendong ignored her and walked past Lu Sangsang. Lu Sangsang panicked and hurriedly called out to him, "Mr. Gu..."

The man turned around, looking at her with a cold gaze. "What is it?"

Lu Sangsang didn't know what she wanted to say to Gu Zhendong, but when she saw the man come out, she subconsciously followed behind him.

At this moment, meeting the man's sinister black eyes, which seemed to say, "You'd better think carefully before you speak," she felt a chill and bit her lip.

It seemed that the man in front of her could see right through her, and she had no thoughts to hide in front of him.

Gu Zhendong had seen all sorts of people, including many like Lu Sangsang, and he understood her thoughts better than anyone else through her eyes and the emotions revealed on her face.

Gu Zhendong never had a good impression of this younger sister; in fact, he disliked her.

Lu Sangsang's words caught in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single word. Instead, Gu Zhendong asked, "Miss Ye, do you have something to say?"

If it weren't for Lu Huan, he really wouldn't have looked up to any member of the Lu family. Lu Zhong was a greedy man with a very clear goal: to marry Lu Huan to himself and to marry his youngest daughter, Lu Sangsang, to Chu Jun.

Gu Zhendong addressed Lu Sangsang as Miss Ye, implying that he did not consider her a member of the Lu family at all.

Lu Sangsang was filled with resentment. She was clearly the real daughter of the Lu family, and Lu Huan was an imposter, yet everyone still treated Lu Huan as the true daughter. "Mr. Gu, are you really going to marry my sister? She actually often had ambiguous relationships with other boys at school..."

At this moment, Lu Sangsang's disgust for Lu Huan reached its peak. How dare she take away what belonged to her?

If Lu Huan were more outstanding than her, she would accept it, but Lu Huan was an incompetent person who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long.

How could someone with such a tarnished reputation be worthy of Gu Zhendong?

So she wasn't saying anything bad about Lu Huan, but rather telling the truth so that Gu Zhendong could see Lu Huan's true colors.

He'll regret marrying a woman with such a terrible reputation.

Before Lu Sangsang could finish speaking, Gu Zhendong smiled slightly, leaving Lu Sangsang stunned and speechless.

This was the first time she had seen Gu Zhendong smile. This man had always been cold and aloof when facing her.

He was so handsome, and his smile was even more captivating.

Gu Zhendong asked, "What does Miss Ye mean by saying this all of a sudden?"

"I... I just wanted you to see Lu Huan clearly, so you wouldn't misunderstand later..."

"So you mean well?"

Lu Sangsang nodded. "Yes."

The man's smile deepened, but his gaze remained icy as he looked at her. "Miss Ye seems to be getting quite close to Chu Jun lately. When are you planning to hold your wedding? Your sister and I are looking forward to drinking your wedding wine."

For Lu Huan's sake, Gu Zhendong was fully aware of the Lu family's every move.

Especially when it comes to matters concerning Chu Jun, he desperately wants another woman to come out and distract him.

Lu Sangsang wanted to marry Chu Jun, and he was willing to go to great lengths to help her. But what does Lu Sangsang mean now?

They're eating what's in their bowl while eyeing what's in the pot.

Even though Gu Zhendong didn't say it explicitly, Lu Sangsang's face was still extremely ugly.

He didn't say it out loud, simply to save her face, nothing more.

“From now on, if I hear another bad word about her from you, Miss Ye, you should think carefully about the consequences.”

＊

Gu Zhendong went east and returned, his speed surprising Lu Huan.

Seeing that Lu Sangsang wasn't behind Gu Zhendong, Lu Huan leaned closer and asked, "Didn't you run into anyone outside?"

Gu Zhendong raised an eyebrow. Lu Huan was very close to him, and a faint scent of alcohol wafted over. "You've been drinking?"

"Um... I only drank a little bit."

Lu Huan instinctively covered her mouth, but it was too late. She could only awkwardly make a tiny gesture.

Gu Zhendong's face clearly said, "I can smell the alcohol on you."

Even when you're having a drink, you still have to worry about her.

Lu Huan pretended to be angry, "Why are you changing the subject?"

Whom do you hope I meet?

Aside from Lu Sangsang, who just left, who else could he possibly run into?

Both of them knew what was going on. Lu Huan blinked and asked, "What did you say to her?"

She just didn't understand. As a supporting female character in the book, she neither stole Lu Sangsang's man nor did she do anything to hurt Lu Sangsang, yet Lu Sangsang still tried to trip her up every now and then.

What Lu Huan really wanted to ask was what bad things Lu Sangsang had said about her to Gu Zhendong.

"I asked her and Chu Jun when they planned to hold their wedding banquet."

Lu Huan: ...

Lu Huan remained silent for only a few seconds before Gu Zhendong tentatively asked, "What, you don't want them to get married?"

Sensing the danger in the man's eyes, Lu Huan quickly shook her head, "Of course not, I'm just curious, how did you know they were together?"

Without her meddling, Lu Sangsang should have been with Chu Jun long ago. But the fact is, even without her interference, Lu Sangsang is still not with Chu Jun.

Perhaps because we haven't reached the main storyline yet, I estimate that when Lu Sangsang makes a stunning appearance on the school anniversary, she will definitely be able to capture Chu Jun's heart.

Lu Huan was very distracted, which made Gu Zhendong very uncomfortable.

In his presence, would she dare to daydream about other men?

Gu Zhendong's face darkened slightly, and he squeezed Lu Huan's palm hard. Lu Huan snapped out of her daze in pain, "Why did you pinch me!"

Gu Zhendong said with absolute certainty, "You're thinking of Chu Jun."

You have to understand that Lu Huan used to be madly in love with Chu Jun, so how could Gu Zhendong not be jealous?

Lu Huan looked at him with a grin, a hint of ingratiation in her eyes, and explained, "I was just wondering if Chu Jun would end up with Lu Sangsang."

Are you jealous about this?

The man pursed his lips, not admitting it aloud, but he pinched her palm hard again and commanded domineeringly in her ear: "You're not allowed to think about him."

"I don't miss him at all!" Lu Huan retorted softly.

What does Chu Jun have to think about? If she had to think about anything, it would be her man.

"Okay, okay, I don't want to think about him anymore!" Lu Huan quickly coaxed the man in front of her.

This meal sealed their marriage.

Lu Huan had been busy all day and was now exhausted. All she wanted to do was lie in bed and sleep for the rest of her life.

Before she even entered the room, Lu Sangsang called out to her.

Lu Huan perked up and smiled at Lu Sangsang, "What's up?"

Lu Sangsang felt a lump in her throat. Lu Huan not only said the same thing as Gu Zhendong, but even his tone and expression were exactly the same.

Of course, she didn't want Lu Huan to marry Gu Zhendong. She just wanted to see Lu Huan return to the Ye family and suffer the same pain she had endured.

However, the Lu family favored her, not only spending money to sever her ties with the Ye family, but now she is about to marry Gu Zhendong.

"Do you really want to marry Mr. Gu? Have you really forgotten Chu Jun completely?" Lu Sangsang asked. "When I met Mr. Chu a few times before, he mentioned you. Mr. Chu must still be thinking about you!"

Lu Huan: ...

If she hadn't transmigrated into the book and knew the entire plot, she would have been completely fooled by Lu Sangsang's words.

Chu Jun will never forget her, unless the Yangtze River flows backward.

Lu Huan chuckled, "Is that so? Then let him be nostalgic. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me!"

Lu Sangsang was speechless again, not expecting Lu Huan to be so cold when mentioning Chu Jun. "Sister, are you really not going to turn back? What if you regain your memory and regret marrying Mr. Gu? Besides, Mr. Gu is in poor health. What if you marry him and he's gone..."

Lu Huan couldn't help but laugh when she heard her words. On the surface, she seemed to care about her, but in reality, she didn't want her to marry Gu Zhendong and even cursed Gu Zhendong to die young.

No wonder Gu Zhendong told her not to take Lu Sangsang's words to heart.

"Oh, that's my business."

Lu Huan was very glad that she agreed to marry Gu Zhendong. She really didn't want to continue to endure living under the same roof as Lu Sangsang.

"Sister, I was just concerned about you, I didn't mean anything else!"

Haha, wasn't her meaning obvious enough? Only a fool wouldn't understand!

Lu Huan crossed her arms. "Instead of wasting your time worrying about me, you should worry about your own business. You've been seeing Chu Jun a lot lately. Looks like you like him?"

Lu Sangsang quickly shook her head and denied it, "I don't like Mr. Chu. The reason I met with Mr. Chu was for some work-related matters. If you mind, I will try to reduce my meetings with Mr. Chu in the future."

"No, no need!" Lu Huan raised an eyebrow. "You two get along well. Your brother-in-law and I are looking forward to your wedding!"

Lu Sangsang: ...

On Sunday, Lu Huan planned to stay home and laze around all day.

Early in the morning, Yan Rong instructed the servants to clean and rearrange Gu Zhendong's room, adding some red "double happiness" characters to make it look festive.

Afterwards, he called Gu Zhendong again to ask about Lu Huan's clothing preferences. Gu Zhendong couldn't give a specific answer. Lu Huan usually dresses like a student, but occasionally she wears skirts, after all, she is still a young girl in her early twenties.

Before Gu Zhendong could answer, Yan Rong said, "Never mind, I'll just ask Huanhuan myself!"

Yan Rong had long wanted a daughter, and now her dream had come true. She called Lu Huan to meet her and excitedly took her shopping at the mall.

Lu Huan had nothing to do in the morning, so she petted her cat and watched TV series when she suddenly received a call from Yan Rong. She was so startled that she jumped out of bed.

Upon hearing that her future mother-in-law wanted to invite her shopping, Lu Huan dared not refuse and hurriedly replied, "Okay, okay, I'll be right there... No, no need, I can go by myself!"

Yan Rong smiled and said, "It's alright, it's on the way anyway."

This road is really not smooth at all.

Yan Rong insisted on coming to pick her up, and Lu Huan couldn't refuse.

As soon as she hung up the phone, she turned to Gu Zhendong and told him about it. Then she hurriedly got up, rushed into the bathroom, and dressed herself up.

You can't lose face in front of your future mother-in-law.

The Lu family members were all present and saw that Lu Huan was dressed up meticulously, as if she was about to go out.

Guo Yi asked curiously, "Where are you planning to go?"

Lu Huan told the truth, and Guo Yi gave him a few words of advice.

Half an hour later, a car stopped at the Lu family's house. The people who came were not only Yan Rong, but also Gu Zhendong.

Yan Rong was much easier to get along with than expected. She chatted and laughed with Lu Huan the whole way. Gu Zhendong wanted to join in, but he couldn't, so he could only stand silently at the back.

Yan Rong took Lu Huan's arm and led her into a high-end women's clothing store, asking Lu Huan what style of clothes she liked.

The price of even a simple dress shocked Lu Huan.

"This place is too expensive, let's go somewhere else!" Lu Huan glanced at the prices and whispered to Yan Rong.

Yan Rong smiled and said, "It's okay, it doesn't cost us any money anyway."

Huh?

As Lu Huan was wondering, she heard Yan Rong say to the sales assistant, "I'll take all of these dresses, according to her size."

After speaking lavishly, he pointed to Lu Huan, who was standing to the side, dumbfounded.

Lu Huan was dumbfounded and waved her hands repeatedly, "I can't possibly wear all these clothes!"

"It's okay, you can donate the clothes you don't finish wearing, that's also a form of charity."

The sales assistant probably hadn't expected to be so lucky today, to actually meet such a wealthy customer. She put on a bright smile and said, "Okay, please wait a moment."

Yan Rong glanced at Gu Zhendong beside her, "What are you still standing there for? Aren't you going to pay?"

Gu Zhendong: ...

Today, Gu Zhendong has become nothing more than a tool for paying money, accompanying Yan Rong and Lu Huan as they stroll around and shop.

Lu Huan was basically dominated by Yan Rong the whole time, and Gu Zhendong didn't even have a chance to hold hands with Lu Huan.

After a long day, Yan Rong was finally exhausted and asked Gu Zhendong to take Lu Huan home.

Inside the car, Gu Zhendong held Lu Huan in his lap and teased her fiercely.

"Sweetie, go to sleep early. We'll get our marriage certificate tomorrow."

Lu Huan was breathless from the kiss, her eyes watery as she looked at him, "But I have class tomorrow morning."

Gu Zhendong's lips twitched. "When does get out of class end?"

Lu Huan showed Gu Zhendong the class schedule, "I have class in the first period tomorrow morning, and then classes all afternoon."

"Then I'll come pick you up during the second period tomorrow."

"..."

This man really went to great lengths to marry her.

The next morning, before Gun Gun had even crawled from its cat bed to her pillow and woken her up with its meows, Lu Huan got up on her own.

The reason is simple: she's going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married with Gu Zhendong today, and she needs to at least put on some light makeup so that she'll have face when she posts wedding photos later.

Rolling lay in its cat bed, stretching lazily. It watched its master sitting in front of the mirror, constantly fussing with a brush on its face. It yawned, stared lazily for a while, then came out of its cat bed, jumped onto its dressing table, and meowed twice at Lu Huan, meaning it was hungry.

Lu Huan patted its head. "Good boy, Mommy will put on some blush and then feed you."

Lu Huan spent a long time applying makeup in front of the mirror. Finally satisfied, she picked up the sleeping Gun Gun and took it to its food bowl, pouring some cat food for it.

Gun Gun ate happily, his little mustache trembling, which softened Lu Huan's heart.

"Stay home and be a good boy today, and Mommy will go find you a daddy!"

Because she was going to pick up her certificate during the second class, she didn't hear a single word the teacher said in the first class.

Staring blankly at his phone the whole time, with forty minutes left before get out of class ended, Gu Zhendong sent him a message.

I'm on my way.

The man timed it perfectly; he arrived just as his get out of class ended.

Lu Huan's heart pounded with nervousness at the thought that she would soon transform from an invincible young beauty into a virgin.

Time ticked by, and just as get out of class ended, Gu Zhendong called.

"I'll be waiting for you at the door."

Lu Huan gave a soft "oh," and said, "I'll pack my things and be right there!"

After hanging up the phone, I quickly packed my bag and rushed outside.

Today, Lu Huan wore a ladylike suspender dress with a beige long coat and a pair of leather shoes, making her stand out on the street.

There's a lot of discussion about Lu Huan right now. Besides the fact that she's not a member of the Lu family, the other topic is how she ended up hosting this year's school anniversary gala.

Some people are simply envious, while others are jealous and feel a pang of resentment.

Lu Sangsang was the latter.

At that moment, Lu Sangsang and her classmates were rushing to their second class when they ran into Lu Huan, who was jogging out of the teaching building.

After learning that Lu Huan wasn't the Lu family's heiress, Hu Yan looked at Lu Huan with disdain and asked, "Hey, isn't she your nominal older sister? Where is she going?"

During dinner on Saturday night, Gu Zhendong and Lu Huan finalized their marriage registration.

My gaze followed Lu Huan's retreating figure, and my heart ached with a bittersweet feeling.

She had already told Gu Zhendong about Lu Huan's bad reputation, so why did that man still insist on marrying her?

Lu Sangsang knew that Lu Huan was going to marry Gu Zhendong. Once this news got out, everyone would only envy Lu Huan even more, as she would suddenly go from a down-on-her-luck fake heiress to a glamorous Mrs. Gu.

Lu Sangsang fiddled with the books in the sea, pretending to be unaware, "I don't know, maybe something urgent has happened!"

"What else could she possibly be doing!" Hu Yan scoffed, then affectionately put her arm around Lu Sangsang's arm. "Let's hurry up, or we'll be late for class. Teacher Huang is really strict; if you're even a minute late, you'll have to stand in the corner for half an hour!"

Lu Sangsang hummed in agreement, reluctantly pulling her gaze away from Lu Huan.

At the school gate, Lu Huan hurriedly got into the car, and Gu Zhendong instructed the driver to drive.

"Did you bring your household registration booklet and ID card?"

Lu Huan patted her backpack. "I brought it."

Hearing this, Gu Zhendong was still worried and asked Lu Huan to open the bag and check it.

Lu Huan was speechless. She wasn't a forgetful elementary school student anymore; she had put her household registration book and ID card in her bag last night.

Only after Gu Zhendong saw it with his own eyes did the man's expression soften.

However, the next second he noticed that Lu Huan wasn't wearing his ring, and his brows furrowed. "Why aren't you wearing your ring?"

Gu Zhendong had a ring specially designed, and the diamond is almost two carats.

Wearing such a large ring, people would probably think she wasn't going to class, but rather to show off her wealth.

Besides, she's only twenty years old and doesn't really want her classmates to know she's married.

Lu Huan observed Gu Zhendong's expression, which was clearly turning gloomy. If she told him the truth, Gu Zhendong would definitely not like to hear it and would get angry. She could only try to coax him indirectly, "The ring you gave me is so beautiful that I can't bear to wear it. If I accidentally lose it, I will be heartbroken and cry."

Losing such a big diamond ring is heartbreaking; just thinking about it keeps her up at night for several nights.

Gu Zhendong's expression wasn't as gloomy, but his voice remained cold and stern. "If it's lost, I'll just buy you a new one!"

Is this the world of the rich? Buying a two-carat diamond ring just like that.

"That won't do!" Lu Huan grabbed Gu Zhendong's hand. "This is the diamond ring you proposed to me with. It's very meaningful and can't be lost."

Lu Huan's hands felt very soft to the touch, and Gu Zhendong's expression gradually softened.

That's true.

He has only ever knelt on one knee once in his entire life.

When I arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, I found that there were quite a few young couples registering for marriage today.

After a long wait, it was finally their turn. The staff looked up at them, gave them a quick glance, and then handed them the forms to fill out.

After filling out the form, Lu Huan smiled sweetly and handed it to the staff member, "Sister, we've filled it out!"

When you're out in the world, if you want to please others, you have to be sweet-talking.

The young female staff member looked very young. After hearing the crisp sound, she looked up at the two of them and instantly had a good impression of Lu Huan.

She glanced again at the man next to Lu Huan; his face was cold and unapproachable.

The staff member was busy checking the forms. He glanced at the two men's ages and noticed a significant age difference. He whispered to Lu Huan, "You should think about this: when you're looking for a man, you should find one who is gentle with you."

While speaking, she would glance at Gu Zhendong next to her out of the corner of her eye, intentionally or unintentionally.

Lu Huan chuckled, "No, he's really good to me."

Gu Zhendong may appear cold on the surface, but he is actually a gentle and sensitive man at heart.

However, his gentleness and sensitivity are truly rare.

They got their marriage certificate quickly; they took photos, and soon the certificate was stamped with an official seal. The two people on the certificate were smiling sweetly.

Their legal marriage was then officially effective.

It wasn't until she saw the marriage certificate that Lu Huan felt she was really married.

Still a little dazed, Gu Zhendong led her hand as they walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. "Still not ready?"

Lu Huan hummed in agreement and turned to look at him. The man's smile was obvious. He reached out and patted her head, and Lu Huan's face instantly turned red as she became embarrassed.

She missed Gu Zhendong's gaze and looked down at the red marriage certificate in her hand.

She secretly berated herself for being so spineless, wondering why she was even more shy after getting married than before!

After a long while, she covered her face and exclaimed, "Ah, I never thought I was really married!"

This feeling is so strange.

It seems no different from usual, but the difference is huge.

Gu Zhendong lowered his head and leaned closer to her, "So, can you kiss me now?"

The man suddenly moved closer, catching Lu Huan off guard. Her heart skipped a beat. "Kiss you?"

Gu Zhendong's task today is simple: to get Lu Huan to kiss him first.

Taking advantage of the current atmosphere, he felt it was a good idea.

There were still quite a few people outside the Civil Affairs Bureau. Lu Huan was too embarrassed to kiss Gu Zhendong in public, so she lowered her head and said shyly, "There are too many people here, we should..."

Gu Zhendong interrupted her, "What are you afraid of? You're my wife now. It's none of anyone else's business if a wife kisses her husband."

What did she hear?

Wife!

Lu Huan's ears burned, her heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at him shyly, "But..."

But before she could finish speaking, Gu Zhendong lowered his head and sealed her spring.

If you want to kiss, just kiss. There's no need for so much hesitation.

Just as they kissed, Xiao Hao popped up and reminded them, "Host, this wasn't Miss Lu kissing you on her own initiative, so the mission isn't considered complete."

"I know."

Then Xiao Hao fell silent.

Gu Zhendong licked his lips, still wanting more, and tempted Lu Huan: "Now, it's your turn to kiss me!"

Lu Huan: ...

She really can't do it!

Lu Huan's body went limp. She placed her hands on his chest, looked at him with her watery eyes, and said shyly in a soft voice, "Um, how about we go to the car?"

The two had become husband and wife, and Gu Zhendong took advantage of her even more.

As soon as they got in the car, Gu Zhendong pulled Lu Huan into his lap, his strong, broad hands tightly encircling her slender waist. His dark, deep eyes, unlike their usual ruthless gaze, held a hint of tenderness and affection. "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

The man's voice was soft and gentle, yet full of allure. Lu Huan blushed, lowered her head, and dared not look up at him.

It only takes three or four minutes from the door to the car, how could it take so long!

Lu Huan secretly thought to herself, "We're already husband and wife anyway, so what's wrong with kissing him?"

The hand around her waist tightened slightly, urging her to hurry up and kiss him.

Lu Huan shyly tilted her head back and leaned over to kiss Gu Zhendong.

Before she could leave, the man grabbed her head with his other hand, pressed it down, and kissed her fiercely.

The mission was accomplished, but Gu Zhendong felt that what Lu Huan had given her was far from enough to satisfy her.

Their bodies were pressed close together, and they could feel each other's heat even through their clothes. As their kiss deepened with passion, Lu Huan couldn't help but reach out her delicate, fair arms and wrap them around the man's neck, sinking into his embrace.

The partition inside the car had already been raised, and the driver in front, unaware of what was happening behind him, was focused on driving towards Lu Huan's school.

As for behind the partition, a room already filled with the passion of spring.

Lu Huan sensed something was wrong with the man's body, and her watery eyes widened in surprise.

Gu Zhendong... he actually did that!

The little woman's reaction was quite adorable, and Gu Zhendong couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm a man."

"But..." Wasn't it said that he was in poor health?

Lu Huan's fair face flushed, revealing an unspeakable shyness; this was simply too dangerous.

"This is a normal reaction."

If he doesn't change at all when faced with beautiful women, then he's not a real man.

Gu Zhendong coaxed in a low voice, "One more kiss?"

Do we have to do it again?

She was afraid that things would escalate too quickly and she would end up venting her anger on the spot.

Before Lu Huan could shake her head in refusal, the man's lips landed on hers, silencing her before she could say anything.

The "mmmmmm..." protests seemed to only elicit a stronger reaction from someone.

Lu Huan was panting heavily, her body half-lying in Gu Zhendong's arms. Her red lips were moist and glistening from being kissed, making him want to bully her even more.

Kissing Gu Zhendong is just too much.

She was severely oxygen-deprived and felt dizzy. She vowed never to kiss Gu Zhendong again.

Gu Zhendong lowered his head and his breath came close again. Lu Huan quickly stepped back and mumbled softly, "No, thank you."

The man hummed in agreement, then simply kissed the tip of her nose. "I'll go back with you to get your things in a bit."

"……good."

Lu Huan was still dazed from the kiss and couldn't react for a moment to what Gu Zhendong had said.

The man then instructed the driver to drive to the Lu family's residence.

Lu Huan suddenly lifted her head from his embrace, "But I have class this afternoon!"

"Ask for leave."

"..."

Gu Zhendong was a man of his word and immediately asked Lu Huan for an afternoon off.

Lu Huan was afraid that the man would suddenly turn into a beast, so no matter what he said, she insisted on getting off him.

Then, they picked up their marriage certificate and took several photos.

Now, she has a marriage certificate!

It was almost noon, and Lu Huan was starving. Gu Zhendong had the driver change the route so they could go eat first.
