Su Niannian was led by the hand by Si Lijue to the car. Just as they were about to get in, Si Lijue's phone suddenly rang.
Si Lijue released her hand, took out his phone, glanced at the incoming call notification, frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said to the woman in front of him, "I'm going to answer a call. You wait here for me."
"Mmm!" Su Niannian responded softly, her head still lowered.
Si Lijue didn't say anything more, but took his phone and walked to the side, as if he was intentionally trying to avoid her.
Seeing Si Lijue leave, Su Niannian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She opened the little red book, looked at the photos of the two of them, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Because the photographer only photographed her upper body, the photo made her and Si Lijue look very close together, with intimate gestures and smiles on their faces, like a couple deeply in love.
This is the only photo of her and Si Lijue together, and surprisingly, it doesn't look out of place at all; in fact, it's quite harmonious.
Si Lijue, who usually has a stern face, is rarely seen smiling, especially when taking pictures. But she didn't expect that he would look so good when he smiles. He is so handsome and pleasing to the eye that he is almost mesmerizing.
Su Niannian thought that if she enlarged this photo and put it in her collection, it would definitely be a unique, rare item.
No wonder he's the person I've loved for so many years, he's so handsome and cool!
However, she's not bad either, and they seem quite well-matched.
They have obtained a marriage certificate, so are they considered a legally married couple?
As Su Niannian was admiring the photo on her marriage certificate, a familiar voice rang in her ears: "What are you looking at? Why are you smiling so lewdly?"
Su Niannian's heart skipped a beat. She looked up abruptly, her gaze meeting Si Lijue's. Her eyes were filled with panic and unease.
She hurriedly closed the marriage certificate in her hand, quickly put it behind her back, and stammered, "I...I didn't look at anything?"
"Really?" Si Lijue looked at the flustered man with a calm demeanor, clearly not believing him.
He had seen her expression and subtle movements all along. He saw her carefully examining the marriage certificate and gently stroking the photo, probably looking at their wedding picture.
She had a smile on her face, and her eyes were full of appreciation; she seemed very happy.
That's true. She's loved me for so many years, and now that we've finally registered our marriage, she must be ecstatic.
This time, for the first time ever, Si Lijue didn't feel that Su Niannian was lusting after him, nor did he feel that she was desecrating him. On the contrary, he was very happy to see that she admired him.
He thought he must have been poisoned by Su Niannian. Moreover, the poison seemed to be penetrating deeper and deeper, reaching his internal organs, and soon it would invade his bone marrow.
Si Lijue stared at Su Niannian's exquisite and beautiful face for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said with a slight part of his thin lips, "Come with me to a party."
Caught off guard by Si Lijue's sudden change, Su Niannian cautiously asked, "Now?"
"Yes, now!" Si Lijue's deep and magnetic voice rang out. His bright and shining eyes were fixed on the woman in front of him. Then, he stretched out his long and strong arm and gently pulled to open the passenger door for her.
"Get in the car!" His words were brief and forceful, carrying an unquestionable authority.
"Uh..." Su Niannian looked down at her casual clothes, hesitating slightly. "But, are my clothes inappropriate? Should I go back and change?"
She knew that the parties Si Lijue attended were usually formal occasions, and his female companions would naturally have to wear formal dresses.
She was dressed up when she attended the charity gala as his date last time.
However, her current casual clothes, which are as ordinary as can be, are indeed mismatched and inappropriate, and will only make him a laughing stock.
Si Lijue glanced at her; her casual clothes accentuated her curvaceous figure, making her look more lively and exuding a unique charm that truly captivated him.
Su Niannian had naturally fair skin and delicate features. Her large, almond-shaped eyes, like two sparkling gems set in her face, were so clear and bright that one could see right through them.
She exudes an exquisite beauty in every aspect.
Compared to five years ago, she is less naive and immature now, and more mature and composed.
That feminine charm that emanates from within is like a captivating glass of red wine, intoxicating and irresistible.
Her figure is no longer as petite and cute as before, but has become tall and slender with graceful and charming lines, exuding a unique charm with every smile and frown.
For some reason, every time he saw Su Niannian, he could easily be captivated by her.
Si Lijue strained to look away, swallowed hard, and said nonchalantly, "No need, this outfit is fine."
He took her to meet his friends, not to any formal occasion, so she needed to dress casually and freely to have fun.
"Oh!" Su Niannian was confused. When she heard Si Lijue say it was okay, she was still a little afraid of him and dared not disobey him, so she had no choice but to obediently get into the car.
She had no idea what phone call he had just received, nor what party he was going to attend, and could only be manipulated by Si Lijue like a puppet.
This was part of their agreement, and it was also part of her job.
After Su Niannian sat down, she reached out to pull the seatbelt and her hand touched Si Lijue's large hand. She didn't expect Si Lijue to help her fasten the seatbelt, so she flinched and immediately pulled her hand back.
Si Lijue bent over, half of his body leaning into the car. Seeing her awkwardly withdraw her hand, he acted as if nothing had happened and personally fastened her seatbelt.
He didn't get up immediately, but looked at the woman in front of him up close, and when she wasn't paying attention, he kissed her on the forehead.
Then, he earnestly advised, "Honey, we are now a legally married couple who have registered our marriage. You need to adapt to your new role as soon as possible, understand?"
Su Niannian's fair and delicate cheeks instantly turned bright red, as vibrant and eye-catching as a boiled shrimp.
At this moment, her heart was pounding like a herd of deer, and she was extremely shy. She didn't even know where to hide her bashful appearance.
She looked flustered, her eyes darting around, as if she had been frightened by the sudden turn of events.
Immediately afterwards, she nodded quickly and somewhat nervously, like a chick pecking at rice, as her response to him.
Clearly, the man in front of her was not satisfied with her response; he simply gazed at her affectionately and did not rush to leave.
After a while, seeing that Si Lijue still showed no sign of leaving, she cautiously raised her head and met his gaze.
Their eyes met, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, instantly igniting the spark of love.
