The driver immediately understood the hidden subtext of this sentence.
The Pei family's car drove out of the Fifth Ring Road and was about to enter the city when the driver's sharp eyes caught a gray-brown stray dog standing on the side of the road a hundred meters away, looking around as if it wanted to cross the road.
When the driver saw this scene, a murderous look suddenly appeared in his eyes.
His dark eyes coldly glanced through the rearview mirror at the woman leaning against the glass window with a dull expression staring out the window. Seeing that she was not wearing a seat belt, the next second, the driver saw the stray dog walking towards the other side of the road. Not only did he not brake to slow down, but he stepped on the accelerator even harder.
The calm and restrained black car sped away immediately.
When he was about to hit the stray dog, the driver immediately swerved the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes.
The car spun and stumbled to a stop on the sidewalk.
However, Ji Yuqi, who was distracted, was thrown directly from the right carriage and hit the left carriage door hard due to a strong inertia impact.
With a loud muffled "bang", Ji Yuqi flew onto the door panel.
At that moment, not only was her right arm severely dislocated, but a large, round, and exaggerated bruise also appeared on her forehead.
Dizziness.
Ji Yuqi's face, originally black and blue from the cold, finally became a little rosy after turning on the heater in the car. But at this moment, all the color on his face faded away in an instant.
Ji Yuqi's face turned pale.
I was hit so hard that tears almost rolled out.
The driver, wearing his seatbelt, turned around and asked worriedly, "Miss Ji, are you okay? A stray dog suddenly appeared on the road."
Ji Yuqi raised her eyes and looked at him. In her blurry vision, the driver's face was filled with tension and fear. However, she could still clearly catch the smug smile in his eyes...
…
When I returned to the rental house, it was already twelve o'clock in the morning.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, making the whole roof clang.
Ji Yuqi was curled up on the sofa filled with a musty smell, carefully applying anti-swelling medicine to his extremely swollen forehead. Just as he finished, his phone suddenly received a message from an unfamiliar number.
Ji Yuqi took the phone and glanced at it indifferently.
When I lay down to rest, it was almost two o'clock in the morning.
There is no heating equipment in the house.
Plus on the top floor.
The floor is too high.
The cold wind whistled through the loose crack in the door and rushed into the house violently.
The small room was as cold as an ice cellar.
Even though she had covered herself with two layers of the thickest quilts, she still couldn't feel any warmth.
Ji Yuqi curled up into a small ball and lay on his side in the quilt.
Carefully took out the small red book with the words "Marriage Certificate" printed on it.
The light in the room was dim.
The marriage certificate, including the front and back covers, has a total of four pages.
An ordinary person could scan through the document information in just one or two glances, but Ji Yuqi, in the dim light, turned it over and over, inside and out, carefully reading every word and every inch for a full two hours.
There's obviously nothing good to see.
But she seemed like she couldn't see enough.
According to Country Z's seventh census, the ratio of marriageable men to women in Country Z is severely imbalanced. The proportion of men is over six times higher than that of women. In other words, there is only one marriageable woman for every six men of marriageable age.
In the imperial capital where household registration is particularly popular and difficult to obtain, it is extremely difficult for men to find a suitable wife.
It can be said that it is very easy for a woman nowadays to marry the man she loves.
But, for Ji Yuqi, engraving the name "Pei Yucheng" in the spouse column is a luxury and out of reach.
It was a luxury that she didn't even dare to dream of.
That's right.
Ever since she left for Country M and broke off completely with Pei Yucheng, she couldn't even dream of marrying him.
She stared at her marriage certificate, feeling as if she were in another world.
It's so unreal.
The ID photo, stamped with the words "Imperial Capital Chaebol," was taken at the Chaebol Management Office. She sat on a wooden bench in the photo area, bewildered and dazed, looking as if she hadn't reacted yet. Pei Yucheng, sitting next to her, had a cold expression on his face.
They were a little far away.
The staff taking the photo reminded them: "Get closer, be intimate, and smile."
Ji Yuqi listened and immediately pulled the corners of his mouth together. His smile was stiff and unnatural. Looking at the photos now, he looked like a fool.
And Pei Yucheng...
His black eyes were cold and gloomy, not only was his face filled with indifference, but even his hair revealed a strong resistance.
Their marriage certificate photo does not show any of the sweet smiles that young couples show when they get their marriage certificate.
This marriage has nothing to do with love.
Just taking advantage.
Pei Yucheng used her to support Ji Niancheng in securing his position as the crown prince of the Pei family; and she used this relationship to humbly beg for two days of visitation rights every month.
Pei Yucheng hates her and doesn't acknowledge her.
On the way to get the marriage certificate, Pei Yucheng threw two agreements to her.
A prenuptial agreement.
The other is a divorce agreement.
Pei Yucheng said: The day Ji Niancheng becomes the legitimate descendant of the Pei family, the divorce agreement will officially take effect.
He also said: "The relationship between them only exists on paper, nothing more. During this period, he will not interfere with her private life. She can date or find a boyfriend as she pleases. And she should not use her status to make things worse."
Ji Yuqi understood his subtext: no one would know about their relationship before the divorce agreement came into effect.
To put it more simply: their marriage was over before it even began.
This is a hollow marriage that can't even be considered a secret marriage.
But……
Under the pale yellow light, Ji Yuqi stared at the marriage certificate for a long time, and then carefully pressed the marriage certificate against her chest where her heart beat most intensely. She whispered softly: "Pei Yucheng, we are finally married."
Pei Yucheng, you once asked eighteen-year-old Ji Yuqi what wish he made at his coming-of-age birthday party. Three wishes, each one for you. Pei Yucheng, safe and sound; Pei Yucheng, healthy; Pei Yucheng, marry me.
She finally married him as she wished.
Although there is no status.
Although not recognized.
But Ji Yuqi was still extremely happy and excited.
He held the marriage certificate tightly against his chest.
Ji Yuqi closed his eyes and raised his lips involuntarily.
She was clearly smiling.
But, at this moment, why did her heart hurt so much...
