Just as the two were about to get down to business, Lu Yuzhi's phone kept ringing.
Li Peiyu gently pushed away the person pressing down on her and said, "Answer the phone."
"Okay, let me answer the phone first." Lu Yuzhi got up with a bit of helplessness, picked up his phone and saw that the caller was the CEO of Ji's Group.
At 2 a.m., President Ji called. It seemed he had agreed to what they had discussed during the day.
The Lu family offered the Ji family an important cooperation, on the condition that the Ji family withdraw its investment from the Qin family and sever all cooperation with the Qin family.
The sudden termination of the cooperation was a significant loss for the Ji family, but the conditions offered by Lu Yuzhi were truly tempting, and the Ji family could quickly recoup their losses many times over.
The importance of this phone call cannot be overstated.
Lu Yuzhi walked to the window and leisurely answered the phone.
Lu Yuzhi smiled and said, "President Ji, have you figured it out?"
"President Lu is really good at persuading people; he kept me up all night." President Ji's tone on the other end of the phone carried a hint of helplessness and emotion.
"President Ji made a decision so quickly; I admire your courage."
"I admire President Lu. He really dared to take down the Qin family in one fell swoop." President Ji's voice revealed a complex emotion.
“President Ji, the opportunity is right in front of us. Once the Qin family finds funding and recovers, it will be too late.” Lu Yuzhi’s tone became serious.
"Of course I know, but the Ji family has always been the Qin family's support. Your attempt to undermine us is clever, but it will tarnish the Ji family's reputation." President Ji's words carried a hint of concern.
"The victor is king, the loser is a bandit. Does the Qin family really deserve the Ji family's favor? Public opinion will eventually silence them, won't it?" Lu Yu's words were earnest, trying to dispel the last bit of hesitation from President Ji.
The two of them talked back and forth.
Li Peiyu got up, poured Lu Yuzhi a glass of water, and gently handed it to him.
Lu Yu held the water glass in his left hand, his slender fingers with distinct knuckles and smooth, graceful lines. Each finger was like a meticulously sculpted work of art. His thumb rested lightly on the glass, while the other four fingers were naturally curved, applying slight pressure to firmly hold the glass.
The well-placed protrusions at the knuckles add a touch of strength. The slender fingertips are rounded and neat, as if they can touch the softest corner of one's heart unintentionally.
Li Peiyu was mesmerized and really wanted to kiss those hands.
After Lu Yuzhi finished drinking the water, he returned the cup to Li Peiyu.
Li Peiyu took one last, reluctant look at those beautiful hands before putting the water glass back.
It looked like this call was going to take a long time, so she thought she'd better go take a shower.
Just as Li Peiyu turned around, she saw Lu Yuzhi beckoning her over. Li Peiyu obediently walked over and came to Lu Yuzhi's side.
Lu Yuzhi held the phone in his right hand, listening intently, while gently pinching her cheek with his left. Then his hand began to move down, to unbutton her clothes.
One, two, three...
Li Peiyu's face immediately turned red to her ears.
A short while later, Lu Yuzhi took off her top with one hand.
Lu Yuzhi casually tossed his clothes onto the table and said, "President Ji, it's been a pleasure doing business with you. Goodnight."
After saying that, he decisively hung up the phone, picked up Li Peiyu in his arms, and strode towards the bathroom.
In the bathroom,
Water vapor permeated
Gently knead and twist
Charming
"Mrs. Lu, the Qin family business will soon be yours too. Aren't you happy?"
"Hmm-"
They were so happy they couldn't speak.
----
The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning, bright sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains.
Li Peiyu was still fast asleep when Lu Yuzhi gently shook her and said in a tender voice, "Sweetie, let's go get our marriage certificate."
Li Peiyu rolled to the side impatiently and continued to sleep, looking as if she hadn't slept in eight hundred years.
She is indeed busy until very late every day, and the long-term fatigue has left her sleep-deprived. Last night, after experiencing so many different things, she was truly exhausted.
"I'm begging you to give me my entire fortune, can you please hurry up?" Lu Yuzhi looked at Li Peiyu, who was still lying in bed, feeling both annoyed and amused.
"You're not pretending to be asleep here because you don't want to marry me, are you?"
Seeing that Li Peiyu had no reaction, Lu Yuzhi kept talking and carefully coaxed Li Peiyu to get dressed, the whole process was extremely patient and meticulous.
After getting dressed, Li Peiyu finally regained some of her senses.
She yawned, stretched, and looked sleepy and a little dazed.
"Come on, let's go get our marriage certificate," Lu Yuzhi said with a look of anticipation.
"Let me have a moment," Li Peiyu said, rubbing her eyes, her voice tinged with languor.
"I'll give you two minutes." Lu Yuzhi glanced at his watch, his tone firm.
"Lu Yuzhi, um, are you really going to get the marriage certificate?" Li Peiyu seemed a little incredulous.
"You're going back on your word?" Lu Yuzhi frowned slightly, a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
"I feel bad for you. Is there any contract?" Li Peiyu looked at Lu Yuzhi seriously.
"What contract?" Lu Yu asked, puzzled.
"Something like a prenuptial agreement," Li Peiyu said softly.
"What's going on in your head?" Lu Yuzhi's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.
"Let's sign one anyway, I'm not sure about it." Li Peiyu lowered her head, looking somewhat uneasy.
Lu Yuzhi's face darkened noticeably. He remained silent for a moment before saying, "You really don't believe in my feelings for you?"
Li Peiyu sighed, "It's a bit like a dream."
“Lu Yuzhi, have you ever thought about it? You need your household registration booklet to get a marriage certificate. My household registration booklet is still at home.” Li Peiyu suddenly realized this crucial issue.
Lu Yuzhi walked to the table, picked up a file bag, took out two household registration books, shook them, and said, "One is mine, and the other is yours."
"You brought it?" Li Peiyu's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes, I picked it up early yesterday morning." Lu Yuzhi nodded.
"My parents can give it to you?" Li Peiyu still found it somewhat unbelievable.
"Of course they would give it to me. They really like me as their son-in-law. They even made lunch for me." A smile returned to Lu Yuzhi's face as he recalled the heartwarming scene and how his parents, with tears in their eyes, urged him to treat Li Peiyu well.
Li Peiyu pouted, "Alright then, since we have the household registration book, let's go."
The two left their home, got into their car, and headed to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Throughout the journey, Li Peiyu's feelings were very complicated.
Upon arriving at the Civil Affairs Bureau, the couple queued, filled out forms, and had their photos taken. After going through all the procedures, they finally received their two bright red marriage certificates.
Li Peiyu clutched the little red book in her hand, her gaze somewhat dazed, as if she couldn't quite come back to her senses. It was all a dream, an incredibly beautiful dream, but how she wished she could never wake up from this beautiful dream.
Looking at her in a daze, Lu Yuzhi smiled and said, "Don't just stand there like an idiot, Mrs. Lu."
"Oh," Li Peiyu responded subconsciously, still somewhat dazed.
"Oh no, my newlywed wife has gone mad." Lu Yuzhi shook his head, feigning helplessness.
"You're the one who's stupid." Li Peiyu snapped out of her daze and rolled her eyes at him.
