Chi Yu sat awkwardly on the sofa. Xu's mother brought him fruit and poured him a cup of tea. Looking at his restrained appearance, she laughed and said, "Where did your grand ambitions go?"
"Auntie, I was wrong." Chi Yu apologized obediently, his arrogance completely gone.
Stealing a glance at Xu Nian, seeing her indifferent expression, Chi Yu squeezed her wrist and gave her a wink as she turned to look at him.
Xu Nian pretended not to see it and said to her mother, "Mom, I'll go cook."
"Okay, go ahead!" Mrs. Xu nodded with a gentle smile.
After Xu Nian left, only Chi Yu and Xu's mother remained in the living room.
Xu Nian, who was in the kitchen, heard Chi Yu chatting haltingly with his mother and her expression turned strange.
No, he only acts arrogantly and threatens her in front of her, but he becomes as obedient as a child in front of her mother.
Can you please stop treating people differently?
After rinsing the rice and pressing the cook button on the rice cooker, Xu Nian left the kitchen.
Only Chi Yu remained sitting in the living room.
"Where's my mom?" We were just chatting happily, how come she disappeared after washing the rice?
“Mom went to play mahjong. Look what this is!” Chi Yu grinned and waved the small notebook in his hand.
"Household registration booklet." Xu Nian's eyes widened. How did her family's household registration booklet end up in his hands in just a few minutes?
“Mom told us to hurry up and get our marriage certificate. It’s 3 p.m. now, we still have time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.” Chi Yu was happy the whole way to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Xu Nian looked at the household registration book in his hand and couldn’t understand how he had convinced his mother.
"Chi Yu, we haven't had a premarital checkup yet," Xu Nian said in a final attempt to persuade him.
"Don't worry, Niannian, I'm still clean." After Chi Yu finished speaking, he saw Xu Nian's incredulous look.
His face flushed, and he looked away shyly as he asked, "Niannian, are you satisfied with my dowry?"
"Hmm!" Xu Nian didn't know what expression to use to express her emotions at this moment.
Complex, extremely complex.
She had met Song Bo's friends a few times, but each time she met them, the female companions were different.
Chi Yu held a high position among these people, and temptations surrounded him everywhere.
He can stay true to himself and remain consistent, making him practically the template for a male protagonist in a novel.
But Xu Nian isn't the female lead!
From childhood to adulthood, no one had any ill intentions towards her, nor did anyone have any affection for her; she felt like she was living as if she were invisible.
Until she met Chi Yu... she felt it would have been better if she had never met him!
"Niannian, you married me willingly, right?" Chi Yu's sudden words silenced Xu Nian.
Doesn't he know whether she did it willingly or not?
Seeing that she didn't answer, Chi Yu cupped her cheeks in his hands and said, "Niannian, you should think carefully before answering the question later."
"What if I say I don't want to?" Xu Nian's stubbornness kicked in.
Chi Yu's lips curled into a meaningful smile. "Niannian, think about your friends, think about your future. Don't you really know what to say?"
"Are you threatening me?" Xu Nian glared at her, but her eyes were already showing signs of panic.
"Niannian, I know you don't like me, but I won't let you go. I can have nothing in this life, but I can't live without you, do you understand?" A trace of sorrow was revealed in Chi Yu's eyes. Why couldn't he have met her first?
"Chi Yu, can you talk to me properly? Stop threatening me all the time. Do I look like an ungrateful person?" Xu Nian really wanted to open Chi Yu's head to see what was inside him and whether he could think like a normal person.
"If I talk to you nicely, are you willing to listen?" Chi Yu hadn't forgotten that Xu Nian had run away before.
No, let's just get the marriage certificate directly. With the certificate, he'll be her legitimate husband, and then we'll see who dares to steal him away.
“I’m willing to listen.” Chi Yu selectively ignored Xu Nian’s words. As soon as the driver stopped the car, he dragged Xu Nian out of the car and into the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Take wedding photos, register, and get the official marriage certificate—all for just 9.9 yuan.
Chi Yu took the marriage certificate away, not giving Xu Nian a chance to take it over.
He took out both of their phones, took a picture, and posted it on his WeChat Moments, leaving everyone stunned.
The messages kept coming in non-stop.
At this point, Chi Yu had already returned the phone to Xu Nian.
Seeing the call from Mu Qingqing, Xu Nian pressed the answer button.
"Niannian, didn't you go on a trip?"
"How come you got your marriage certificate in just two days?"
"Where's your boyfriend, Song Bo? Who's the man you married? Niannian, are you being coerced? If you're being coerced, just say so!"
Mu Qingqing's string of words left Xu Nian no chance to speak until Mu Qingqing stopped and she said, "Qingqing, I've already registered our marriage, nothing else matters."
Mu Qingqing fell silent upon hearing this. Xu Nian's voice didn't sound happy, but it wasn't sad either.
She didn't know what she had been through, but since she said it like that, she respected her choice. "Niannian, I want to be your bridesmaid on your wedding day."
"Qingqing, I will definitely invite you in person then." Xu Nian said a few more words to Mu Qingqing before hanging up the phone.
Chi Yu ignored all the messages on his phone; he had put it on silent.
Just kidding, he hasn't even had a chance to warm up his newlywed wife yet!
How can we let unimportant people interfere with all of this?
"Wife, let's go home." Chi Yu got his marriage certificate as he wished, and the smile on his face never disappeared.
Once in the car, Xu Nian didn't ask which home they were going to.
She had made up her mind. Since she couldn't resist Chi Yu, she would accept the marriage.
Chi Yu may have just had a whim, and perhaps she will be free in a few years!
Being with Chi Yu doesn't put her at a disadvantage; she's still quite attracted to his looks.
As long as he doesn't go crazy, he's totally her type.
Besides, she'll get married sooner or later, and she can't guarantee that the person she finds will be worth it.
The car drove for a long time, and Chi Yu's eyes never left her the whole way.
His intensely passionate gaze made Xu Nian wonder if she was naked.
"Honey, what do you want to eat tonight?" Chi Yu thought that since they had just gotten married today, they should have a good celebration.
"Guess what I like to eat?" Xu Nian raised an eyebrow, deliberately making things difficult for him.
"Wife, I know how to arrange it." Chi Yu made a phone call back to the manor and gave the chef a list of dishes to prepare.
After hanging up the phone, she saw Xu Nian looking at her in surprise.
Chi Yu patted her head. He could tell her that he had secretly followed her for a month and knew all her hobbies clearly.
Definitely not. He didn't want her emotions, which had just stabilized, to spiral out of control again.
He wanted her to like him, not her to fear him.
