When they met again, the boss' eyes turned red, kissed her and said sweet words to her

Pei Jingmo got off the motorcycle and stood in the heavy rain. His white shirt and black trousers looked like they had just rolled in the mud. Even his face was covered with mud. He looked more disheveled than ever before.

The rain kept washing away his face. He raised his hand to wipe it, and his eyes swept gloomily over to Gu Qiao, sneering coldly: "Xu Nanyin, you are quite creative. You came to get the marriage certificate with me and brought your suitor with you. Are you planning to keep one at home and another outside, so that you can have the happiness of having two wives?"

Xu Nanyin stared at him, so stunned that she didn't know what to say.

Glancing at his watch, it was almost 5: when he got off work. Pei Jingmo snorted coldly, "Forget it. I'll settle the score with you after I finish my work."

Then he looked at the umbrella Gu Qiao was holding, "You don't want Xu Nanyin to get wet in the rain, do you?"

Before Gu Qiao could react, Pei Jingmo snatched the umbrella handle from him and looked towards the back seat of the car.

"You don't want Xu Nanyin to have a dirty husband next to her when she takes her marriage certificate photos, do you?"

As Gu Qiao looked at the alien, Pei Jingmo grabbed the spare suit he had placed in the back seat of the car and put it on to cover the mud all over his body.

Perhaps because the pure black suit was too monotonous, Pei Jingmo broke off a rose from the ones he had prepared and put it in his chest pocket. "That's right, festive."

Gu Qiao felt very uncomfortable and wanted to curse but stopped himself.

Pei Jingmo was very satisfied. He wiped the mud on his trousers, patted his shoulder, leaving a muddy handprint on his shoulder, and smiled: "Thanks, Lawyer Gu, Xu Nanyin and I will arrange for you to sit at the head table at my wedding."

Then he looked at Xu Nanyin, his tone was extremely affectionate and sweet, "Right? Wife."

Xu Nanyin was still in a daze, and let him hold the umbrella and lead her to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Nanyin."

Gu Qiao suddenly stopped them, his expression serious: "Getting a marriage certificate is a big deal, have you thought it through? I'm not doing this for myself, I'm really worried about you."

Her mind was in a mess. Xu Nanyin wanted to pull her hand back, but Pei Jingmo held it even tighter.

He glanced at Gu Qiao with a forced smile, "What are you worried about? There will never be anyone in this world who loves her more than I do. Xu Nanyin is my life."

Amidst the chaotic, impatient rain, his voice was clear and resolute, slowly striking her eardrums. Xu Nanyin was a bit dazed as he led her around Gu Qiao and walked forward.

It was also luck that there was no one queuing at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Pei Jingmo fished out his household registration booklet and ID card, which were tightly wrapped in a document bag, from his trouser pocket and urged her, "Where's yours?"

Avoiding his gaze, Xu Nanyin said softly, lacking confidence: "I didn't bring it."

"Did not bring?"

Pei Jingmo laughed out loud, his face clouded with gloom. "Xu Nanyin, why are you still committing fraud? Do you think it's fun to play with me like this?"

Xu Nanyin glanced at the household registration booklet in his hand, still puzzled: "How could you possibly convince your parents to agree to our marriage?"

"Just give me one day. Do you think I'm stupid enough to waste my breath trying to convince them? Can't I just steal the household registration booklet?"

"..."

Xu Nanyin was a little annoyed. She was still careless. Pei Jingmo had always been very smart. Her little trap was nothing to him.

"Then go back."

Xu Nanyin turned to leave, but her wrist was grabbed.

Pei Jingmo stared at her without blinking, with a kind of persistence that would never give up. His tone was very heavy: "Go back and get your household registration and ID card. I'll wait for you here. If you get off work today, then wait until tomorrow morning. I can sit here all night."

"Are you really going to marry me?"

Xu Nanyin still found it hard to believe: "Don't you consider the consequences if your parents find out?"

"You also know the difference in our family backgrounds. I don't have rich and powerful parents, and my bank account balance isn't even a fraction of yours. You'll only suffer if you marry an orphan like me, with no benefits..."

"Shut up, Xu Nanyin."

Pei Jingmo's handsome brows were filled with anger. "Don't say that about yourself. I love you, so there's no need to weigh the pros and cons."

He tapped his head with his index finger: "Weighing the pros and cons, I need to use this place, but you are in my heart."

Xu Nanyin stared at him blankly, speechless for a moment.

"Do you want to get your license? It's time to get off work."

The security guard in the hall saw them standing there for a long time and kindly reminded them.

Pei Jingmo rubbed his brows in annoyance, but his eyes suddenly fell on the bag that Xu Nanyin had been holding tightly.

"Please wrap it for me to see."

Xu Nanyin subconsciously hid the bag behind her, "It's just an ordinary bag."

Pei Jingmo narrowed his eyes slightly, a sly look flashing in his eyes: "Then why are you hiding it? So you brought it with you."

He put his arm around her waist and held her tightly in his arms. With his other hand, he snatched the bag from her hand, took two steps back, and unzipped it.

A small dark red notebook appeared in sight.

"give me back!"

Xu Nanyin was completely panicked and felt very upset.

She didn't know if she was out of her mind. She had clearly reminded herself again and again that she would break up with him today and there was no need to expect anything more. But before leaving the house, she inexplicably went to get her household registration booklet and ID card.

"Boo~" sound.

Pei Jingmo kissed her hard on the lips.

His dark, beautiful eyes gazed deeply into her, and his tone was so gentle that it made her heart palpitate. "Do you know what I've been through today?"

"I was driving back from Beijing. To make it to 3: p.m., I navigated a short but remote route. Unexpectedly, I encountered heavy rain and a landslide. I was only a dozen meters away when I saw huge swathes of dirt and rocks rolling down the hillside. If I had been closer, I'd have been buried with my car."

Xu Nanyin unconsciously tightened her grip on his hand, her face turning pale.

"I had no choice but to turn around and take another route. The heavy rain, the bad road conditions, and my rush meant I ended up driving my car into a ravine while passing a mountain road."

He fainted for a while at that time, and it was only because he knew that Xu Nanyin was waiting for him that he climbed out of the mud ditch.

Only then did Xu Nanyin realize that there were many small cuts on his hands. It must have been from that time when he was covered in mud and injured.

Pei Jingmo then decisively abandoned his car, stopped a large truck on the road, and hired a driver to drive to Yuncheng. After entering the city center, in order to avoid the congested traffic, he bought a motorcycle from a food delivery driver...

"All along the way, I was thinking, let alone the Civil Affairs Bureau, I'd have to get a marriage certificate with you even if I had to go to the United Nations!"

"Yinyin, I know you still have concerns about me, but you initiated the bet, so I'll accept the loss." Pei Jingmo shook his household registration and ID card. "They accompanied me all the way through hardships. I risked my life to get to you. I won, so I deserve a reward, don't I?"

His gaze was so intense that it burned Xu Nanyin's cheeks, and she couldn't even look him in the eye.

She wanted to refute something, but she couldn't find any excuse at all!

Pei Jingmo dragged her to the front desk and handed their IDs to the staff...

Xu Nanyin felt like she was standing in a chaotic, white fog, becoming increasingly lost. Her mind told her to flee immediately. Even if it meant being a traitor for once, it was better than continuing to be entangled with him. But deep in her heart, a faint voice questioned her: Can you really break up with him?

Just like that, when she came back to her senses from the trance of her thoughts, her ID photo had been taken, the staff handed her two forms, and Pei Jingmo quickly pressed her fingerprints.

"What about you?"

The staff looked at Xu Nanyin and thought she looked strange, so they asked, "Have you not made up your mind yet or what?"

"I……"

Xu Nanyin's throat tightened and she struggled to squeeze out a sound. The next second, her chin was pinched by slightly cold fingertips.

Pei Jingmo suddenly turned his head and bit her lips with his thin lips. She tried to struggle, but he pressed her into his arms almost violently. She leaned back, feeling a little overwhelmed, and he leaned over to kiss her.

He robbed her of all her breath, and when she was dizzy, he grabbed her right index finger, dipped it in red ink, and pressed it hard on the place where the fingerprint was to be placed on the document.

The two of them have such outstanding looks and are a perfect match.

This scene is really too idol drama...

The staff felt a little embarrassed and thought that the two young people were just being too affectionate, so they quickly completed the procedures.

*

Xu Nanyin was stunned as the man held her hand like a child and led her out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The rainstorm stopped.

The air was filled with moist and refreshing water vapor. Xu Nanyin took a deep breath, sobered up a little, and turned to look at someone who was smiling cunningly and proudly, like an old fox who had tricked a chick into his clutches.

"Come, let me show you."

Pei Jingmo spread out two small red notebooks in front of her.

She looked at the red ID photo. In the photo, her eyes were dull and she was dreaming, while he was smiling so hard that the corners of his mouth almost reached his temples. She had never seen him smile so foolishly...

She reached out to take it, but he closed it and put the marriage certificate in his pocket, really just showing it to her.

"I'll keep it."

"Why?"

"If I hadn't insisted, they wouldn't have been born into this world. Now that they've been born, I can't let them suffer with you."

"..."

Xu Nanyin looked up at the particularly clear blue sky after the rain. After her chaotic emotions calmed down a little, she felt like she was struck by lightning.

Get rid of it!

This time, not only did I not break up, but I became even more entangled with him.

"Xu Nanyin, do you know what this is?" Pei Jingmo took out a small red book and waved it in front of her.

She frowned and said, "I'm not blind yet." She could clearly see the three words on the marriage certificate.

"I mean, they're the proof of permanent residency I obtained after I desperately squeezed into your world."

There was a slow smile in his eyes, gentle and doting: "Wife, from now on we will be the two closest people in the world, legally and legally."

Pei Jingmo gradually enclosed her in his arms, "We both have homes now. We are each other's family now."

Have a home?

An inexplicable sour feeling welled up at the tip of her nose, and her eyes were hot. Xu Nanyin felt that she should push him away, but her whole heart sank softly, and her hands unconsciously hugged him back.

"Scumbag! I'm going to fight you!"

A furious roar suddenly rang out.

Xu Nanyin glanced outside the Civil Affairs Bureau and saw Lin Sitian getting off a small electric scooter, wearing a pink piggy-back riding helmet and rushing towards them with a frozen fish in her hand.

"Wife, you go first, I'll follow."

Before Pei Jingmo could finish his words, Xu Nanyin had already hurriedly left his arms and stepped aside, looking as if she didn't intend to care whether he lived or died.

With a snort, Pei Jingmo laughed angrily: "Okay, okay, the marriage certificate is still warm, just play the role of husband and wife, birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately..."

The next second, the frozen fish in Lin Sitian's hand flew towards him.

Pei Jingmo quickly took a step back and dodged.

Lin Sitian then pulled out a baguette as hard as a brick from her bag: "Here comes the baguette! I'll beat you to death, you scumbag!"

Pei Jingmo still dodged with ease.

"Sisi~"

Xu Nanyin stopped in front of Lin Sitian and comforted her guiltily: "Don't be angry, calm down first."

Lin Sitian pointed at the red book in Pei Jingmo's hand, her blood boiling. "How can I calm down? You got the certificate without telling me!"

Pei Jingmo pursed his lips and pointed to the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. "If you're really envious, then why don't you go get one with Xu Nanyin?"

"Oh, I forgot. Our country does not support bigamy or same-sex marriage."

He unfolded the little red booklet for Lin Sitian to see, nonchalantly revealing a hint of malice in his heart: "My dear, what do you think of this ID photo of Xu Nanyin and I?"

Lin Sitian was so angry that her eyes, nose, and scalp were about to smoke, "You, you..."

Xu Nanyin frowned and looked at Pei Jingmo with clear eyes.

Shrugging his shoulders, Pei Jingmo closed the marriage certificate and made a zippering motion with his hand to his lips.

Lin Sitian grabbed Xu Nanyin's hand and said, "Bao'er, the cooling-off period for divorce is thirty days now. We can get a divorce after thirty days!"

Xu Nanyin lowered her eyes. This thought had just flashed through her mind.

Seeing her silence, Pei Jingmo's smile faded. He caught the fragility of their newly-minted marriage and asked Lin Sitian, "We've never met before. What did I do to make you hate me so much?"

"We don't know each other, but I know how much harm you have caused to Yinyin!"

Lin Sitian gritted her teeth, her eyes reddening. "How dare you ask Yinyin to get back together? Don't you know that Yinyin committed suicide by jumping into the river for you four years ago?"

"What did you say?"

Pei Jingmo clenched his fists in his trouser pockets. He was completely stiff and unresponsive for several seconds. "What do you mean by suicide?"

Lin Sitian sneered: "You think that if you don't know about this, you can appear innocent, right?"

"Speak clearly, what do you mean by jumping into the river?"

Pei Jingmo continued to question Lin Sitian, but he hardly dared to look directly at Xu Nanyin. He only dared to glance at her thin back and her pale face with the corner of his eyes.

He suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart, as if someone was hitting it with a sledgehammer.

He felt breathless.

Lin Sitian simply didn't reply. Firstly, she wanted to make him feel bad, and secondly, she really didn't know the details. Xu Nanyin never wanted to talk about that memory, and she would never expose her scars. These were all told to her by Aunt Fang.

"Also, did you know that when Yinyin first came to Yuncheng with Aunt Fang, she vomited everything she ate, suffered from insomnia, and was reduced to only 80 kilograms..."

Xu Nanyin is 168 cm tall, and when they were together, she was a little overweight, weighing 130 catties. How painful it must have been for her to lose 50 catties.

Pei Jingmo stood on the steps in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, motionless, as if he had become a beautiful piece of wood.

For a long time, his face turned pale, as if he had suddenly fallen seriously ill. His voice was as hoarse as sandpaper, and there was a slight sob. "Explain clearly about jumping into the river."

He still didn't dare look at Xu Nanyin. Lin Sitian glanced at his face and was stunned for a moment, but when she thought of the harm he had brought to Xu Nanyin, her tone became three points colder.

"You've caused so much harm to Yinyin. If you have any conscience, you should be more self-aware and stay away from her, right?"
