The next day, Chu Xiu had agreed with Lu Yuanzhou to get the marriage certificate in the morning. For this reason, she set the alarm several times, fearing that she would oversleep. However, Ran Ran was more concerned than she was and came to her house early in the morning to wake her up.
"Sister, I was so worried that I didn't sleep well last night." Ran Ran lay on the edge of the bed and talked to Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu's eyes were still half-closed, and she felt one side of the bed sink under Ran Ran's pressure. She turned over, clamped the quilt with her legs, and asked lazily, "What are you worried about?"
"That box of pig-head-shaped snacks. What will Mr. Lu think when he sees it? Oh, I'm such a pig. I'm only making things worse!" After Ran Ran finished speaking, she raised her fist that looked like a steamed bun and knocked it on her head.
Chu Xiu didn't feel worried. "It doesn't matter. Lu Yuanzhou said he doesn't like sweets, so he probably didn't see it."
"Then other people will see it when they want to eat." Ran Ran was worried.
Chu Xiu turned over and sat up, patted Ran Ran's head, and comforted her: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Even if something really happens, I can solve it! Did you bring me breakfast?"
"I brought some steamed buns, come and eat them." Ran Ran said, "Sister Zhao will send a car to pick you up to the Civil Affairs Bureau later. She said it's best to wear a mask and keep a low profile. After all, we are not ready to go public yet."
Chu Xiu got out of bed slowly, stretched and said, "I know." Then she went out to wash up.
The house Chu Xiu lives in was left to her by the original owner's grandparents. The house is quite old and not very big, with two bedrooms and a living room. The house is located in the city center with convenient transportation. The original owner lived here since she was a child and has deep feelings for the house.
The original owner made some money in the past few years, but he never thought about moving. He just used the money to completely renovate the interior of the house. From the inside, it doesn't look like an old house at all.
But after getting the marriage certificate, Chu Xiu had to move in with Lu's family because that was a requirement in the agreement.
The term of the agreement was as long as five years. If Lu Yuanzhou wanted to gain full control of the group in his own hands, he had to get married first. This was a condition proposed by the elders of the Lu family. In addition, he was not allowed to divorce within five years to prevent him from faking a marriage. But it was obviously impossible to prevent this. Lu Yuanzhou turned around and found someone to sign a fake marriage agreement.
Yuan Chuxiu often appeared around Lu Yuanzhou during that period. Her purpose was very clear: to seduce him. Lu Yuanzhou was too lazy to look for anyone else. After finding out that Yuan Chuxiu was clean, he negotiated terms with her.
She was his fake wife for five years. During these five years, Lu Yuanzhou would invest in a big production for her every year and let her play the leading role. Whether she could seize the opportunity to become famous depended on her own ability.
The original owner naturally signed this agreement readily, which guaranteed a profit without loss.
Lu Yuanzhou was the man she had chosen after careful selection. She actually wanted to get married, but she couldn't express this idea for the time being. She would try to win him over slowly in the future. The original owner thought: Five years was a long time, enough for her to win Lu Yuanzhou.
But man proposes, God disposes. Before the plan could be implemented, Chu Xiu traveled through time.
The original owner's seduction plan was doomed to fail.
Since taking over the family business, Lu Yuanzhou has suffered from long-term headaches and insomnia. No matter how many doctors he saw, there was no improvement. This is also the main reason for his impatience and bad temper. It is very difficult to get along with such a sub-healthy person who is always on the verge of going berserk.
Chu Xiu believed that she had no masochistic tendencies, so it was better for her to keep a certain distance from Lu Yuanzhou.
At nine o'clock, Zhao Xue's car arrived at the foot of the community building. Chu Xiu put on some light makeup, tied her hair into a ponytail, put on a loose down jacket over her shirt, and then changed her shoes with a serious look on her face and went out.
Before Chu Xiu traveled through time, she had never been in a relationship at the age of 30 because she was a little afraid of marriage. She didn't expect that after traveling through time, the first big thing she would have to do was to get a marriage certificate. This was a huge psychological challenge for her.
Ran Ran handed her a mask and asked her, "Have you brought all your documents?"
Chu Xiu nodded, "I brought it."
After they locked the door and walked into the elevator, Ran Ran whispered, "Sister, you don't look well."
Chu Xiu took out her cell phone, raised her chin slightly to look at the black screen, then pulled up the corners of her mouth, revealing a business-like smile, and asked her, "How about this?"
Ran Ran told the truth, "How fake!"
Chu Xiu: ...
When she got downstairs, she realized that Zhao Xue had sent her a car she had never ridden in before. The driver explained, "The car that usually picks you up is easy to recognize, so Sister Zhao said to change it."
Chu Xiu nodded and took Ran Ran into the car. Seeing her sitting in the front seat obediently, she couldn't help but tease her, "You can come in with us later."
Ran Ran looked back at her blankly: "Why?"
"Please pick up the certificate for me."
Ran Ran: ...
As the car drove towards the Civil Affairs Bureau, Chu Xiu thought for a moment and decided to call Assistant Du first to confirm the time Lu Yuanzhou would leave.
The phone was connected after two rings.
Chu Xiu cleared her throat and said, "Good morning, Assistant Du. May I ask..."
He was interrupted before he could finish his words.
The other party said in a cold and low voice: "Didn't you save my number last night? How come you lost your memory after sleeping?"
Chu Xiu: ...
It turned out that the call was answered by Lu Yuanzhou!
Chu Xiu smiled awkwardly and said, "It's so early in the morning, I'm afraid I'll disturb you!"
Lu Yuanzhou snorted and said, "Isn't it weird to disturb my assistant so early in the morning?"
Chu Xiu clenched her fists and thought with gritted teeth: I really want to crawl along the telephone wire and punch him a few times!
Taking a deep breath, Chu Xiu said, "Mr. Lu, are you leaving? I'm already on my way."
"Yeah." Lu Yuanzhou responded ambiguously and hung up the phone.
Chu Xiu stared at the hung up phone, deep in thought: Even if she took out all her assets, would it be enough to pay the penalty? She couldn't stay with this man for even a minute!
Maybe they arrived early, and there were not many people coming in and out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Chu Xiu was not in a hurry to get out of the car. She looked around through the car window and made sure that there was no luxury car nearby. Lu Yuanzhou had not arrived yet.
The car was parked in a parking space on the road directly opposite the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, which allowed Chu Xiu to easily see all kinds of passers-by entering and leaving the gate. Ten minutes later, she saw a couple walking in hand in hand happily, and two couples walking out with gloomy faces. She thought with emotion in her heart: Is the divorce to marriage ratio 2 to 1?
Then she thought: She would have to come to this place again in five years.
While I was in a daze, I saw a mother and daughter staggering past the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau. The child was about three or four years old, dressed like a ball, holding a tube of bubble water in her hand, blowing it as she walked. Her mother was carrying a large bag of vegetables, and she urged the child to walk faster every few steps.
As a result, the child accidentally spilled all the bubble water on his hands onto the ground. The child was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears. The mother was furious and pulled the child away while scolding him.
When Chu Xiu saw this, she couldn't help laughing and thought: Although marriage is scary, children are still cute.
At this moment, her cell phone beeped twice. Chu Xiu picked it up and took a look. It turned out to be a WeChat message from Lu Yuanzhou.
"I'm here." Three concise words.
Chu Xiu raised her eyebrows, put away her phone, took the briefcase and got out of the car.
As soon as she walked to the gate, she saw a familiar Rolls-Royce slowly parked to the side of the road. Chu Xiu simply stood there and waited. Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, Lu Yuanzhou, wearing a brown windbreaker, got out of the car.
That figure, those long legs, that handsome face, wow, they are pleasing to the eyes no matter how you look at them. It's a pity that such a perfect shell houses a violent soul.
Lu Yuanzhou got off the car and stood still. He first raised his hand to hold his windbreaker. The sunlight shone on him, reflecting a dazzling light on his watch.
Seeing Chu Xiu standing aside waiting for him, Lu Yuanzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and walked towards her with his long legs.
Chu Xiu sighed inwardly again. Even the way she walked was like a model on the catwalk. Perfect!
However, the person who is secretly praised is only handsome for three seconds.
Maybe he wasn't paying attention to his feet, and after taking a few steps, Lu Yuanzhou stepped directly on the bubble water that the child had just poured out.
The bubbly water plus the smooth floor tiles create the equivalent of an ice rink.
Lu Yuanzhou felt his foot slip and he fell backwards. In panic, no one knew how he struggled, but he actually used his waist strength to change the falling backwards posture into throwing forwards.
This throw went directly towards Chu Xiu.
"Be careful!" Chu Xiu screamed and instinctively reached out to catch it.
Fortunately, Lu Yuanzhou had excellent physical coordination, and with the support of Chu Xiu, he stood steadily.
For a moment, a suffocating silence enveloped the two of them.
Chu Xiu secretly raised her eyes to look at Lu Yuanzhou and found that his handsome face was stretched very long, but his ears were red.
After a few seconds, Lu Yuanzhou stood up straight, pursed his lips into a straight line, swallowed with his prominent Adam's apple, and then said in a sinister voice: "Go in." After that, he walked towards the door first.
Chu Xiu trotted after him, trying hard to hold back her laughter, and whispered, "Don't be so fierce. We're going to get a marriage certificate, not a divorce."
Lu Yuanzhou turned around and glared at her, "Shut up!"
Chu Xiu: ...
Chu Xiu had never been to the Civil Affairs Bureau in her two lives. Today was her first time here. She felt dizzy and could only follow Lu Yuanzhou. Lu Yuanzhou was also a novice, but he found a middle-aged man from somewhere and took them to get the forms and fill in the information, and then took them to take pictures.
"Actually, if you take the photos in advance at a photo studio outside, the photos will look better," the man said.
Lu Yuanzhou said: "I don't have time to take photos."
Afterwards, the two of them entered the photo room together.
When they took off their coats and stood in front of the red cloth, the first thing the photographer said was: "Come closer and lean your heads against each other."
Chu Xiu: ...
Mainland China: …
The photographer adjusted the angle for a long time, but was still not satisfied, so he said, "Don't be nervous, look more natural. How about this, sir, you hug your wife."
Mainland China: …
Chu Xiu leaned towards Lu Yuanzhou's shoulder generously. When Lu Yuanzhou put his hand on her waist, she kept smiling but said worriedly, "Mr. Lu, you are not really going to chop off your hands when you go back, are you?"
Mainland China: …
The author has something to say: It was so long ago when Lao Mo got his marriage certificate that I have forgotten the steps.
