After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

Chapter 3 The Little Mishap During the Marriage Registration

The next morning, after having breakfast, Lu Shiyi took her household registration booklet and went directly to the bus stop across from the community.

When I opened the self-study center a while ago, I needed various documents and materials, including my household registration book.

Since she didn't need it at home for the time being, she didn't rush to take it back after using it and left it with her.

Unexpectedly, it's being used again now.

I made an appointment with Grandpa Fu yesterday to meet his eldest grandson at the Civil Affairs Bureau at nine o'clock.

A short while later, the bus stopped at the Civil Affairs Bureau stop.

Lu Shiyi got off the bus and looked up to see the words "Marriage Registration Office of Civil Affairs".

After her gaze lingered on those large characters for a moment, she took a deep breath.

I hope my decision is the right one.

She took out her phone, dialed a number, and looked around.

Yesterday, Grandpa Fu gave her the phone number of her eldest grandson, Fu Cheng.

The ringtone rang in her ears, but no one answered. Just as she was about to hang up, the call was connected.

"Hey"

His voice was deep and cold.

"Hello, Mr. Fu, this is Lu Shiyi. I'm at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Have you arrived yet?"

As Lu Shiyi spoke, her gaze swept over a man answering a phone call not far away.

Almost everyone entering and leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau was in pairs, except for this man, who was alone and still on the phone.

"arrive."

After listening, Lu Shiyi was basically certain that the person was him.

A slightly greasy-looking man with a slightly overweight figure and thinning hair.

"I see you."

As Lu Shi spoke, he walked closer to the man.

At this moment, Fu Cheng, who was walking towards the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, saw Lu Shiyi making a phone call but walking towards another man from afar.

He stopped in his tracks, his eyes narrowing as he looked at the distance.

He actually hoped that the woman would also be named Fu Cheng, and that she and the granddaughter-in-law chosen by his grandfather would get married by some twist of fate, so that he wouldn't be forced by his grandfather to marry her.

Lu Shiyi hung up the phone, walked up to the man, and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

"Hello, Fu..."

She realized something was wrong halfway through her sentence.

Because the man was still on the phone, after Lu Shiyi waved him off, he said to the person on the other end of the line, "Wife, wait a moment."

Then he looked up at Lu Shiyi, "Who are you??"

Lu Shiyi quickly smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

After saying that, she immediately blushed and walked away.

Mistaking your own fiancé for someone else at the Civil Affairs Bureau entrance... um...

I should have looked at the photo when Grandpa Fu introduced Fu Cheng to me; I didn't take it seriously at the time.

Lu Shiyi smiled wryly, thinking that she must be a top-tier example of a whirlwind marriage.

Just then, the phone rang.

The incoming call number was the one I had just dialed.

After she answered, a deep voice came from the other end again, "I'm behind you."

Lu Shiyi turned her head and saw a tall, aloof, and handsome man walking towards her.

She was a little stunned.

She never expected that the "leftover man" that Grandpa Fu kept talking about was actually a handsome and dashing man.

Compared to the men who apologized before, this is undeniably a pleasant surprise, since who wouldn't want the other person to look better?

But only slightly; to her, he was still a complete stranger with no emotional connection whatsoever.

As Fu Cheng approached, Lu Shiyi's expression gradually changed from astonishment to surprise.

She realized that the man in front of her looked somewhat familiar.

Grandpa Fu was jokingly saying he wanted to thank him yesterday, but who would have thought...

The world can seem vast at times, yet it can also seem incredibly small at others.

At the same time, Fu Cheng also recognized Lu Shiyi, and his already cold eyes instantly became even colder.

He didn't want to get his marriage certificate today; he was coerced by his grandfather.

Sensing the chilling coldness in the man's eyes, Lu Shiyi couldn't help but recall what Grandpa Fu had said yesterday.

“My eldest grandson is a bit aloof and cold to everyone. No matter what his expression or tone is, don’t pay any attention to him or argue with him.”

Lu Shiyi looked at Fu Cheng in front of her. His temperament was more like that of a domineering CEO in a novel. He was indeed cold and aloof, and his whole body exuded the feeling of "keep away, don't bother with me".

Fortunately, this isn't a novel, and he's not a domineering CEO. Judging from her usual interactions with Grandpa Fu, the distance between them shouldn't be that great.

This made her secretly relieved.

Lu Shiyi extended her hand generously, "Hello, I am Lu Shiyi. I am really sorry about what happened yesterday."

Fu Cheng slowly extended his hand and said in a deep voice, "Fu Cheng."

Not a single extra word was said.

It seems he doesn't want to dwell on the little incident between the two of them.

Lu Shiyi tacitly stopped talking, after all, it wasn't a pleasant experience.

The atmosphere became somewhat quiet for a moment.

After a moment, Fu Cheng spoke, "If you've already decided, then go in."

Lu Shiyi hummed in agreement.

Having made her decision, she would not hesitate any longer.

Life is about making countless choices; there is no absolute right or wrong.

And so, as if they were on a mission, the two walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau together.

During the process, one of them was as cold as ice, and the other had an indifferent expression. The staff initially thought they were divorced and had come to the wrong door. Only after repeatedly confirming did they begin to process the marriage procedures.

After receiving their marriage certificates, the two walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, each holding their red booklets.

Although Mr. Fu, who worked hard to make this happen, couldn't come today because he had other things to do, he arranged for someone to report to him from a distance.

Only after he confirmed that the young couple had registered their marriage did he finally feel relieved.

Outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, Fu Cheng glanced at Lu Shiyi, who had already stuffed the marriage certificate into his pocket, and said, "I'm usually very busy and don't spend much time at home. Just take care of yourself."

Lu Shiyi replied, "It's okay, you go about your business, I'll take good care of myself."

Actually, she felt a little relieved when she heard Fu Cheng say that he was "very busy and didn't spend much time at home".

She may not be able to adapt to the rhythm of married life, especially with a strange man as her husband.

Fu Cheng continued, "I heard you opened a study center on Jinshui Road. My apartment is nearby. I'll send you the address later. Let me know if you need any help moving."

Grandpa had mentioned to him before that Lu Shiyi lived in a rented apartment.

Now that the two have registered their marriage, even if it was forced upon him, he would never allow his wife to rent a place outside.

"I can manage on my own, no need for help," Lu Shiyi replied.

Back when she was running the study center, she handled everything herself, big and small. Compared to that, moving was much simpler.

Therefore, she didn't want to trouble Fu Cheng.

Upon hearing this, Fu Cheng glanced at Lu Shiyi with his deep eyes. She seemed much more sensible than he had imagined, which he thought was a good thing.

Although Lu Shiyi was indeed as her grandfather often praised her for being beautiful, elegant, and having an outstanding temperament.

But he can't see into her inner self yet.

As for the "scumbag woman" he overheard at the restaurant yesterday, he had only overheard a bit of it and knew she was on a blind date, but he would not comment on the full story.

Although Fu Cheng trusted his grandfather's judgment, he also had his own considerations.

Before he has made a decision, he will not become her husband or reveal his true identity.

Fu Cheng glanced at his watch. "I have to go to work now. I can't take you home. You'll have to take a taxi yourself."

After saying that, he turned and left, but after taking only two steps, he turned back.

"WeChat."

Lu Shiyi paused for a moment, then realized what she meant. She took out her phone, opened the QR code, and said, "Scan me."

After exchanging WeChat contacts, the two went their separate ways to attend to their respective tasks.

Because she was in a hurry, Lu Shiyi did take a taxi back.

As for Fu Cheng, his driver came to pick him up, but he arrived after Lu Shiyi had left by car.

In the car, Fu Cheng opened the WeChat account he had just added: "An indomitable little lamb, a big bad wolf who can never get enough sleep~".

He then realized that WeChat names could be so long...
