The roads in Los Angeles are also familiar with ginger and cotton.

Moreover, this wasn't her first time visiting the Civil Affairs Bureau.

We're getting closer and closer to our destination.

Jiang Mian inexplicably began to feel nervous.

She picked at the skin around her nails, turning perfectly good skin into hangnails.

Then peel it off.

The skin around the nails on my fingers looked terrible.

The car stopped at the red light.

Lu Bozhou glanced at her and saw her fingers.

She frowned slightly between her brows.

Jiang Mian was still lost in thought when she caught a glimpse of a dark figure approaching out of the corner of her eye.

I was startled!

Before she could even take a closer look and realize what it was,

My hands already felt unfamiliarly warm.

The warmth of the man's palm and the coolness of his fingertips.

Pinch her fingers apart.

"What's wrong?"

The man said in a low voice.

But when Jiang Mian heard those four words, she was startled!

Their eyes widened involuntarily.

My heart was beating hard.

This wasn't the first time she'd heard those words.

I've heard similar words from this man before.

Every single character is almost identical.

What's wrong.

Even the scene where I heard those words was similar; it was when I was picking at my fingers.

However, when he heard it back then, Lu Bozhou's tone was not as calm as it is now.

At the time, there was clearly some aversion involved.

Jiang Mian is aware of her problem, but sometimes she can't react to it.

I quickly held back at that moment.

"Sorry, I'm a little nervous." She gently bit her lip, thought for a moment, and asked, "But, I didn't bring my household registration booklet..."

She originally planned to go back to Lixian County to retrieve her household registration booklet.

But I was delayed because I went to Gong Yan's place.

The man stared intently at her.

Jiang Mian felt as if all her thoughts were laid bare under those deep eyes.

"W-what's wrong?" Jiang Mian asked, puzzled.

The man's voice was deep and slightly hoarse, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "But didn't you go back to your hometown?"

Jiang Mian, realizing she hadn't actually returned to Li County, felt even more guilty upon hearing his words, "I..."

She didn't even dare to look him in the eye.

"What? Didn't you get it?" the man asked again.

Hearing this, Jiang Mian breathed a sigh of relief.

It felt like the man had given her a way out.

Jiang Mian nodded gently.

The next second, it was as if I heard the man chuckle softly.

"It doesn't matter, since you can get the certificate with just your ID card now."

Upon hearing the man's voice, Jiang Mian couldn't help but look up and meet his eyes.

Then I saw the hidden meaning in his eyes.

Finally, the car arrived in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

A secretary was already waiting there, holding a file folder containing several documents.

Upon seeing Lu Bozhou approaching, he hurried over.

"Boss, everything is ready." The secretary looked at Jiang Mian.

He nodded very politely.

This woman will soon, very soon, become Mrs. Lu.

So many people have coveted this spot for so long, and now she's going to sit in it.

It doesn't matter whether she was a nanny or a cleaner before.

"Hello, Ms. Jiang."

"Hello."

"This is a prenuptial agreement. Please take a look at it first."

The secretary took a document out of the file bag and handed it to Jiang Mian.

He said, "The BOSS's marriage can easily involve too much interest, so a prenuptial agreement is necessary, otherwise things will become very complicated. Please understand."

Jiang Mian nodded; of course she understood.

The prenuptial agreement she signed before marrying Lu Bozhou was quite extensive.

The regulations inside are very clear, clearly defining Lu Bozhou's premarital and postmarital property.

Regardless of whether Lu Bozhou asked for it or not, if she didn't sign, the Lu family wouldn't allow it.

She took the document and carefully looked through it.

Actually, the content is quite simple.

The 'treatment' is quite generous.

Jiang Mian used the word 'treatment'.

After marrying Lu Bozhou, this man will cover all the expenses of daily life.

A sum of money will be allocated on the first of each month for household expenses.

They also give her a sum of money every year as compensation for her assets.

Because the prenuptial agreement stipulated that she would not be entitled to any marital property if the two divorced.

That is, the money earned by Lu Bozhou from all his businesses, movable and immovable investments during the duration of their marriage.

"If Ms. Jiang feels that there is anything inappropriate about the contents of the agreement, please feel free to raise it, and we can make changes immediately."

The secretary said, "The lawyer came with me and is waiting in the car over there."

Jiang Mian sighed inwardly, thinking to herself, "This is truly the team that Lu Bozhou trained."

They are very meticulous in their work.

Jiang Mian shook her head. "There's nothing wrong with it."

Lu Bozhou, on the other hand, reached out and tapped his fingers lightly on the paper of the agreement.

"Not even going to haggle over the price?" The man raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression appearing somewhat casual and lazy.

He asked her, "Didn't you say you wanted money?"

Jiang Mian gently bit her lip, recalling that she had indeed mentioned asking him for money when she confronted him earlier.

She shook her head. "No need. Since Mr. Lu can help me solve this problem, I don't need that much money. Besides..."

Jiang Mian glanced down at the contents of the agreement in her hand. "The terms of the agreement are already very generous."

Jiang Mian was telling the truth.

The agreement clearly states that if the marriage is dissolved, she will not be entitled to a share of the money Lu Bozhou earned during the marriage, as stipulated by the Marriage Law.

However, as compensation, Lu Bozhou would give her a sum of money every year.

The amount is two million.

Two million a year... that's quite a lot of money.

There's not much to haggle over when it comes to ginger and cotton.

She just felt sorry for her past self.

I've been married to Lu Bozhou for three years, and it seems like I've gained nothing...

The only money they had was the dowry from their wedding.

Her parents gave her a portion of her dowry money, which she kept.

Since there were no problems, the secretary handed her the pen.

Jiang Mian took it and signed her name in the "Party B" section.

He then handed it to Lu Bozhou.

The man lowered his eyes and wrote his name, his strong and bold handwriting landing on the paper in the "Party A" position.

There is a clear and distinct distance between her name and reality.

"Boss, I didn't schedule a premarital checkup for you and Miss Jiang. The premarital checkup here isn't very comprehensive. You can arrange a full checkup at the hospital later."

Lu Bozhou said calmly, "It doesn't matter."

The secretary said, "You two can just go in and get your marriage certificate. Everything you need has been prepared and an appointment has been made."

The secretary opened the car door and gestured for the cars to proceed.

Jiang Mian got off the bus.

The sun was shining brightly, but she didn't find it particularly radiant.

When she married Lu Bozhou, she walked with light and joyful steps, every strand of her hair seemed to be bubbling with happiness.

And at this moment...

"!" Before Jiang Mian could think further, a hand suddenly landed on her shoulder.
