Just thinking about a certain outcome makes Zhong's mother feel extremely distressed.

Finally, under his mother's questioning, Brother Zhong nodded.

Zhong's mother doesn't care about anything else now; all she wants to do is tell her daughter the truth.

"Mom, you can't go. Since they're getting married, let's not stop them."

"You heartless bastard, that's your own sister. Gu Ting rejected your sister because of you, right?"

Brother Zhong nodded again. Mother Zhong didn't care about anything else; she just wanted to tell her daughter.

Even Brother Zhong couldn't stop her, so he let her go.

When she arrived at the military region, she was told that Zhong Wan had gone to the village to make house calls that day.

She wouldn't be back until evening, so her mother asked someone to tell her that she absolutely had to come home that night.

When Zhong Wan returned home in the evening, it was already quite late; she was exhausted after running around all day.

They slept in the military area, where the military area arranged dormitories for them.

When she woke up, Gu Ting came looking for her.

"Zhong Wan, shall we go get our marriage certificate today?"

"Today?"

Zhong Wan wondered if it was too fast, if it weren't for the fact that Gu Ting didn't like women.

Zhong Wan is definitely his first choice; she is sensible and intelligent.

They never make a fuss; they just stay quietly by my side.

"I happen to have a day off today, and since I'm going to collect it anyway, I'll go today."

Zhong Wan didn't refuse, and the two went out. On the way, they ran into Ye Zhaozhao.

She drove out to buy something and met two people who gave her a ride.

Seeing that Zhong Wan still chose to get the marriage certificate, Ye Zhaozhao didn't say anything, but she saw that Gu Ting wanted to stay eight meters away from her.

It's a pity for Zhong Wan; such a good girl should find someone who is good enough for her.

On Zhong's mother's side, she waited for her daughter all night, but morning had come and she still hadn't seen her. She became anxious instantly.

Zhong's father sighed beside him, while Zhong's elder brother remained silent. Whether Zhong Wan and Gu Ting got married or not would not affect their relationship.

Zhong's mother couldn't sit still any longer. Her daughter had to know the truth. Thinking about how long her daughter had liked Gu Ting, she felt heartbroken for her daughter.

She decided to go out and look for her daughter. When she arrived at the military region, she heard that her daughter had already gone to get her marriage certificate with Gu Ting. She immediately took a car and chased after them.

Zhong Wan and Gu Ting had already gotten out of the car, and Ye Zhaozhao took them to the marriage registration office.

The marriage application has been approved, but the two people need to register their marriage to be considered a married couple.

The two went inside to get their marriage certificate, and Ye Zhaozhao waited at the door, thinking that if Zhong Wan regretted it and came out, she would see her.

Zhong Wan used to be overjoyed about marrying Gu Ting, but she doesn't know why she's acting this way today.

When it came time to actually get married, she wasn't so happy anymore and kept hesitating.

When Zhong's mother arrived, she only saw Ye Zhaozhao alone. After asking a question, she learned that her daughter had already gone inside.

She hurried inside and saw her daughter and Gu Ting queuing up; they were next.

Zhong's mother rushed over immediately, grabbed Zhong Wan, and ran outside.

"Mom, what brings you here?"

"Wanwan, you can't get married."

Fortunately, there were many people queuing up for weddings today. If my daughter had really married Gu Ting, she would never have been happy in her life.

"Mom, why can't we get married?"

Zhong Wan was puzzled. Her mother was usually a very composed person. Ye Zhaozhao had no intention of eavesdropping; she was just nearby.

Zhong's mother suddenly looked at Gu Ting and glared at him. She didn't care that he liked her son.

But he shouldn't have lied to her daughter. One person had almost turned the siblings into enemies, so it was impossible for Zhong's mother to treat him well.

“My son has already told me everything at home. I’m giving you a chance. Tell Wanwan the truth!”

Gu Ting didn't expect that he couldn't hide it in the end, and Zhong Wan finally realized what had happened.

Just as Ye Zhaozhao said, is there a hidden story?

"Gu Ting, tell me, why did you agree to marry me?"

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Gu Ting told the truth.

Zhong Wan couldn't believe it; Gu Ting was marrying her because he liked his brother.

Even Ye Zhaozhao was stunned; this was too shocking.

Zhong Wan considered many possibilities, including whether he was moved by her.

Could it be that he's developed feelings for her? The reason she agreed to the marriage of convenience was because...

She thought that this feeling could be cultivated even after marriage, and Zhong Wan was instantly disappointed in Gu Ting.

"Was this your idea?"

Gu Ting nodded, because his family had long had objections to his remaining unmarried status for so many years.

He's over thirty now, it's impossible for him not to get married; his family is pressuring him.

Moreover, he didn't want his relationship with Brother Zhong to be discovered, so he came up with this plan.

"My brother agreed too?"

Gu Ting tacitly agreed. He was a soldier, and if this got out, would he still be able to stay in the military region?

He worried about what people would think of him, so he decided to marry Zhong Wan to appease his family first.

As for Brother Zhong, since he has the relationship of being the brother-in-law, no one will say anything even if the two of them get a little closer in normal times.

Zhong Wan was furious with these two shameless people, and what disappointed her the most was...

Gu Ting never acknowledged her feelings for him, and his rejection was simply that they weren't a good match.

Even if he didn't tell the truth, if he sincerely refused, she could accept it.

“Zhong Wan, if you’re willing to help me, we can go back to our two-year agreement and get a divorce then.”

"Besides this, you can make any other requests you have."

Seeing that Gu Ting still dared to talk about marriage, Zhong's mother was about to take her own life.

Zhong Wan stopped her and looked at Gu Ting.
