A while later, the car slowly drove through the bureau’s area.

After finding a space nearby to park the car, Li Luyao took out the car keys and checked for the relevant information regarding their household registers before speaking to Lin Wu, ‘Let’s go.”

“Mn.”

When Lin Wu got down the car and was preparing to close the door, he casually glanced at the right rear-view mirror and his gaze immediately changed.

Someone was actually sitting in the back seat. It was unknown when this person appeared.

It was a female completely covered in fresh blood. Her raven-black hair touched her shoulder, and her face was incomparably pale. Her eyes that were bleeding were fixedly staring at him.

Lin Wu felt his breathing halt. He hurriedly yanked open the door violently and stared at the car’s interior. However, he discovered nothing. The reflection in the mirror also vanished.

“What’s the matter? Why are you so flustered?” Li Luyao was puzzled.

“I saw her again.”

Lin Wu drew in a deep breath and spoke, “This time, I saw it more clearly. It’s a female ghost and is sitting in the back seat. Her entire body is covered in fresh blood…Seems like this car of yours truly is problematic.”

Li Luyao shivered the moment she heard that. She hurriedly took her bag and opened the door to get out of the car.

The moment she closed the car door, she hurriedly walked to Lin Wu’s side and spoke with lingering fear in her heart, “Let’s quickly get going. Later on, we will change to another car.

Lin Wu fell silent for a moment before shaking his head slightly. However, he didn’t say anything and walked with her toward the bureau’s building.

Even before they took two steps, Li Luyao suddenly felt a hand resting on her shoulder. She couldn’t help but start slightly, but she didn’t resist.

The feeling only lasted for a second before it was gone.

Li Luyao involuntarily turned and glanced at Lin Wu. She then sighed. “If you want to hug me, just hug. If not, the two of us really don’t seem like a married couple.”

“Ah?”

Lin Wu was astonished, he hadn’t thought of hugging Li Luyao at all.

Li Luyao also helplessly glanced at Lin Wu. This fellow…he didn’t want to admit it after he did that? Did he want a female like her to take the initiative instead?

However, she didn’t really mind. She leaned closer to Lin Wu and took the initiative to hold his arm. She then spoke in a straight-forward manner, “Let’s go.”

When the two of them walked to the bureau’s door, a middle-aged woman with a leashed toy poodle walked out.

“Arf! Arf Arf! Arf Arf Arf!”

When the middle-aged woman passed them, the toy poodle she was walking with suddenly began to bark frenziedly at Li Luyao.

The middle-aged woman gave a tug on the leash. “Qiqi, stop shouting. Quick, be quiet.” After speaking, she flashed an apologetic smile at Li Luyao and carried the dog up as she walked away.

Lin Wu turned and glanced at it before involuntarily laughing, “Strange, the toy poodle actually didn’t rush over to hump your leg?”

Li Luyao didn’t say anything.

Lin Wu turned and looked at her, only to see that her face was a little pale. Her brows were knitted slightly as she began to pant. It was like she couldn’t catch her breath.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Wu couldn’t help but be startled. Earlier, she was still fine.

“Nothing much, I just feel a little tired. My body also feels a little heavy.”

Li Luyao shook her head slightly and used even more force to hold Lin Wu’s arms. Her upper body was completely leaning against him. She furrowed her brows. “Maybe it’s too hot outside and the interior of the car was a little cold. The sudden hot and cold caused me to feel a little uncomfortable. Let’s do the registration quickly so I can go back to rest.”

“Ok then.” Lin Wu nodded.

…

…

Today was a very normal day. There weren’t many couples here to do their marriage registration.

After Lin Wu and Li Luyao filled up the marriage application form, they found some staff to take four marriage photos of them. But due to Li Luyao not feeling too well, they had to take quite a few times before the photos passed.

Maybe it was due to having flu or some other reasons, but Li Luyao’s expression became increasingly fatigued. She also staggered as she walked, as though her entire body was filled with lead. She could only walk by hugging Lin Wu’s arm. Hence, the two of them directly skipped the marriage check and went to find the staff responsible for the marriage registration.

If it was ordinary times, Lin Wu would have let Li Luyao head back to rest. But she was determined that their marriage registration had to be done as soon as possible. Since that was the case, he decided to just follow her decision.

Not long later, the two of them arrived at the registration area. Lin Wu spoke to the staff behind the counter, “Hi, we came here to get the marriage registration stamp.”

The staff surveyed the two of them and spoke, “The two of you, please pass me your application forms, photos, identification cards, and household registers.”

Li Luyao’s entire body was devoid of strength, and she didn’t have much vigor. Lin Wu helped her to take a seat. After that, he took out all their particulars from her bag and placed them on the counter.

“Please wait a moment.”

The staff took the particulars and turned to leave.

Lin Wu turned and glanced at Li Luyao, smiling at her. “The registration is about to be completed, please endure a little while more.”

This was the first time he was registering his marriage. Although he was somewhat forced to do so by the circumstances, he couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.

“Mn.”

Li Luyao listlessly replied, her complexion was very bad. Her shoulders also dropped as though there was a heavy weight on them. It was like she was so tired that she needed an effort to keep her eyelids open.

“Why did you suddenly become like this?” Lin Wei frowned slightly. He continued in a low voice, “Could it be because of that malicious ghost in your car? Is her yin aura too heavy?”

“It shouldn’t be so…if that’s the case, why was I fine before?” Li Luyao shook her head somewhat helplessly.

“That’s strange then.” Lin Wu felt increasingly puzzled.

If the malicious ghost had the intent to harm Li Luyao, why was she fine despite driving the car for a month? Why didn’t the ghost act then, but only chose to do so now?

At this moment, the staff returned. He smiled and placed two red-colored marriage certificates in a booklet on the counter and congratulated, “Congratulations to the two of you for being newlyweds, may your love lasts a hundred years.”

“Thank you.”

Lin Wu nodded. He stretched out his hand and took the marriage certificate booklet, flipping it open.

On the couple photo in the marriage certificates, Lin Wu was dressed in white and had a faint smile on his face. Li Luyao beside him was also smiling quietly.

Oh, they seemed pretty compatible actually. It was just that Li Luyao’s complexion wasn’t too good and she was somewhat listless.

“Alright, we got the marriage certificates, let’s head back.” Lin Wu smiled at Li Luyao. He then extended his arm and helped her to stand up.

After Li Luyao stood up, her face turned even paler and she stumbled, almost falling down.

“Are you alright?”

Lin Wu hurriedly held her up, afraid that she might fall.

“Can you carry me?” Li Luyao weakly spoke.

“Mn.”

Lin Wu nodded. He walked before Li Luyao and squatted down slightly, allowing her to lean on his back and hug his neck. After that, he placed his hands on her thighs as support and carried her up.

Lin Wu felt his body sinking and couldn’t help but laugh. “You are actually quite heavy.”

Li Luyao didn’t say anything and merely breathed near his ear. The air caused by the panting gently blew on his skin. It was like she was under so much pressure that she had to pant.

If it was normal times, Lin Wu naturally would feel that this was a benefit. But now Li Luyao suddenly fell sick to such an extent; he no longer had the mood. 

“Luyao, tell me. Is 50kg worth of metal heavier or a 50kg girl?”

Lin Wu carried her and walked toward the bureau’s exit. He chatted with her, wanting to distract her from whatever she was feeling.

Li Luyao felt as heavy as a sandbag, but she still replied, “The same.”

“Wrong, it should be the 50kg girl that’s heavier.”

“Mn?”

“Because the girl will lie about her weight, just like you. Hahaha.”

“I didn’t lie…”

Not long later, Lin Wu carried Li Luyao out of the bureau’s building.

He had wanted to get a taxi, but he faintly suspected that what happened to Li Luyao might have something to do with the malicious ghost in her car. Hence, he carried Li Luyao to the place where she had parked.

Li Luyao’s consciousness was already blurry. When she opened her eyes, she suddenly discovered that they were about to board her car once more and couldn’t help but weakly ask, “Why didn’t you get a taxi instead?”

Lin Wu shook his head slightly but didn’t say anything. After that, he took the car key out from her bag and opened the door, helping her to get in the car.

The moment she got in the car, Li Luyao suddenly opened her eyes wide. Her pale face involuntarily revealed an expression of disbelief.

“What’s going on? I’m alright already, I feel fine…”

Li Luyao stared at her hands in disbelief. Although she was still somewhat fatigued, the fatigue she felt was no longer to the extent where she was so weak as though she was seriously sick. On the contrary, it felt like the load on her had lightened by several times.

“So fast?” Lin Wu was bewildered.

“I also don’t know why, but I feel much more relaxed now…”

Li Luyao shook her head. She also couldn’t be bothered to think too much. She stretched her hand toward Lin Wu and spoke, “Oh ya, where are our marriage certificates? Let me take a look.”

Lin Wu took out the booklet and passed it to Li Luyao as he smiled, “Shouldn’t you call me hubby now?”

“You are still just my fiance.”

Li Luyao glanced at him. She took the booklet and flipped it open. After that, she was stunned.

“Who is this? Did they mix up the photograph? Wait, no…the guy is you, but why is the person taking the photo with you wasn’t me?” Li Luyao had a look of disbelief on her face.

“What?”

Lin Wu started. He glanced at the marriage certifications in her hands and was similarly stunned as well. Disbelief appeared in his eyes.

Because…

For that couple photo in the booklet, it was completely different from what he had seen earlier.

He was still him, but the girl taking the photo with him wasn’t Li Luyao. It became a female stranger that was about 17 to 18 years of age.

Moreover, the style of the photo was completely different from Lin Wu’s. On Lin Wu’s side, the photo was colored. But on the girl’s side, the surroundings and herself were in black and white!

Lin Wu stared at the girl in the photograph, but all of a sudden, his pupils suddenly narrowed.

This girl…

Was actually the malicious ghost he had seen in the backseat of the car!
