Chapter 2: Getting Married

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“He agreed to it.” Quan Meng’s lips moved.

“Agree to what?” Shen Xin asked.

“Agree… to get married to me…” Quan Meng’s eyes were in a daze as she slowly raised her head and looked at Shen Xin. Those who didn’t know would think that she had been possessed by spirits.

Shen Xin also stood dumbfounded on the spot. She thought that she had heard Quan Meng wrong. “Can you say it again? He promised to… do what?”

“Get married.”

Time seemed to have stopped, and the surroundings were exceptionally quiet. Only the ticking of the clock on the reception counter of the coffee shop could be heard.

“That motherf*cker!” All of a sudden, Shen Xin burst out with a curse word.

“He’s such a scumbag? He simply agreed just like that?” Shen Xin’s frown was so deep her face was all contorted.

“I’m telling you, Quan Meng. This bastard must have planned this all along! That’s right! It was premeditated! You can tell he’s not a good person with just one look! No, no, you can’t agree to this. Even if you agree, I won’t allow it! No, absolutely not!”

“Xin!” Quan Meng tugged at Shen Xin’s arm and comforted her in a soft, slow voice, “Xin, don’t worry! I know you’re worried about me! But… I definitely want to be Liang Ye’s aunt!”

The next day, at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Quan Meng arrived very early.

As she was too early, the Civil Affairs Bureau was not open yet. In reality, she did not know if that person would show up. What if he did not show up? What if he was lying to her and thought that it was fun to toy with her?

However… what if he was serious…

With this worry in mind, Quan Meng was afraid that she would miss him if she came too late, so she came very early to wait at the entrance.

Quan Meng was dressed in a white shirt and black suit pants today. She knew that photos would be required for the procedure later so she thought it was better to dress more formally. Just as she was mulling over this, a vehicle stopped in front of Quan Meng.

A vehicle… or rather, a bike-sharing bicycle.

Quan Meng suddenly regretted her actions a little. This man was so poor that he couldn’t even afford a car?

No way. He was Liang Ye’s uncle, after all. He couldn’t be so poor that he didn’t even own a car, could he? Wasn’t Liang Ye’s uncle a young entrepreneur?

However, this man’s refined manner couldn’t be concealed even when he was riding a shared bicycle. He was still so handsome.

Huo Ling got down from the bicycle in a dashing manner. Of course, he would never admit that his car had been badly damaged by a calculative rival company’s car and that he couldn’t wait for his subordinate to send another car over.

Huo Ling cleared his throat softly and asked, “What’s wrong? You’ve been waiting anxiously?”

Quan Meng turned her head away. She didn’t want to admit that this man was so handsome that she was a little lost in thought.

“I have not. Are you still going to marry me? Hurry up and go in. I still have something to do later…” Quan Meng then walked into the building, leaving the man outside.

Huo Ling also followed her in. The staff inside looked at the two persons’ expressions and was very puzzled.

“Er… May I ask if you two are really here to get married?” This was because she could not see any trace of romantic love on the faces of these two people. In fact, they looked totally indifferent.

“Of course we are!” Quan Meng said righteously. After all, it was her first time getting married, so she was still a little embarrassed. She just wanted to get married quickly and escape from this damn place.

“Er… Alright. Please read through the contents of this document. If there’s no problem, please sign here and follow me to take a photo.” The staff member handed over two sets of identical documents.

Both Quan Meng and Huo Ling acted almost in tandem. They didn’t even read the documents and simply signed them straight away. Then, they stood in the designated position to take the photo. This amazingly swift operation really stunned the staff.

After signing the marriage certificate, the wedding photo was taken, the seal was stamped, and the marriage registration was completed.

Quan Meng was overjoyed. She was now undisputedly Liang Ye’s aunt. Hahaha!

Huo Ling turned off his phone and took a deep breath. Finally, the problem was resolved.

At this point, his driver had also arrived. A dark blue car was parked in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Finally, he didn’t have to ride a public bicycle back. If people knew that he rode a public bicycle, the bike-sharing company would come to ask him to invest in it tomorrow.

Quan Meng got into a taxi with a red booklet in her hand. She was already married to a man she had just met for less than a day.

If it wasn’t for the marriage certificate in her hand, Quan Meng thought that she was really dreaming.

Therefore, she was now Liang Ye’s young aunt and was instantly ranked one generation above that scumbag. The thought of the scumbag having to bow and pay respect to her in the future made her feel extremely happy and she couldn’t resist laughing out loud.

“Miss, you’re so happy after getting married!” When the driver in the front seat saw Quan Meng laughing so gaily, he thought at first this girl was crazy. However, when he saw the marriage certificate in her hand, he instantly understood. “Congratulations on your marriage!”

“Thank you, Mister!” Quan Meng also accepted his well-wishes readily.

The notification sound of a phone message pulled her back from her fantasy. It was a phone contact verification message.

“Hello, I’m Huo Ling.”

Quan Meng looked at the messenger with a cat avatar and was puzzled. Who was this person?

She thought of her recent collaboration partners and new employees, but none of their numbers matched this guy Huo Ling’s number. Hence, Quan Meng rejected his request to add friend outright.

To her surprise, that person was very persistent in sending her verification messages. Despite feeling touched by this person’s persistence, Quan Meng eventually blocked him outright.

Huo Ling looked at the add friend requests that had been rejected again and again, and when he saw that his phone was blocked eventually, he frowned with helplessness. He only remembered that he had not exchanged contact information with his new wife after he got into the car.

Fortunately, he did a background check on her previously and added her contact number according to the information he had uncovered earlier. However, he didn’t expect to be rejected. He looked at the girl who was smiling unnaturally on the marriage certificate and picked up the phone to call her.

“Hello. Who’s this?” Quan Meng’s tone sounded very distant.

“It’s me,” he said.
