Chapter 1: Flash Marriage

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At seven in the morning in Hai City, the sky had just lit up and there was a layer of mist outside.

Bai Yi made breakfast for her sister’s family and placed it on the table with a net to prevent the little bugs from flying in.

Her brother-in-law was picky. Her sister’s health was not good, and her sister’s child was at the age of being picky about food. It was not easy for Bai Yi to make a meal. She had been busy since five-thirty in the morning. She wanted to make soup for her sister and a cute child’s meal for her nephew.

After all, one had to have the self-awareness when living under someone else’s roof. Bai Yi did not have a house in Hai City and lived in her sister’s house. Her brother-in-law had always been dissatisfied.

“You only pay 2,000 yuan a month for rent. We provide for your food and accommodation. What’s the use of 2,000 yuan in Hai City?”

Yesterday, her brother-in-law had gone home after drinking too much at a social gathering. When he saw Bai Yi, he scolded her.

“When you get married, you’ll have to use the betrothal gifts to pay off our mortgage and car loans. You’ll also have to pay for tutoring for your nephew… How did the Bai family raise a useless person like you… Your sister too… From next month onwards, I’ll arrange a blind date for you and sell you off as soon as possible!”

Bai Yi sighed and took off the canvas shoes she had originally worn. She took out the most expensive pair of red leather shoes from the shoe cabinet and put them on. Then, she tidied her hair in the mirror.

Instead of continuing to make things difficult for her sister at her house, she might as well marry herself off as soon as possible.

The subway in the morning swayed. Bai Yi put away the household register in her bag, her heart beating very fast.

She was going to marry herself off now.

The other party was not her boyfriend or even someone she knew. He was the grandson of an old granny she had accidentally saved previously.

It was said that he was a man who was still single at the age of 30. He was an executive of a large company in Hai City. A man who worked so well in his thirties and was still single was either a bald kappa or a fat and greasy old man.

Uh… Seeing the man in front of her, Bai Yi felt that her worldview was about to explode.

Was this a thirty-year-old man?

The other party was 1.8 meters tall. He was wearing a slim black knitted shirt and black jeans. He wore black-framed glasses and his hair hung softly on his forehead. He had handsome eyes and was cold, revealing the aura of a cold urban man.

Was this the grandson that Grandma Lu had mentioned that no one wanted at the age of 30? Was this really not an idol celebrity who had just walked out of an airport?

Bai Yi was a little stunned.

Bai Yi looked behind him. There was a Volkswagen Passat parked there. It was about 200,000 yuan and was not very high-end.

Bai Yi made up her mind. She could afford such a car with her savings. It seemed like Grandma Lu’s grandson was not a tall, rich, and handsome man she could not reach, nor was he a greasy man that no one wanted.

Bai Yi and her friends had opened a dance studio near the Gaoxin neighborhood of Hai City. Normally, when there were no classes, Bai Yi would take on some editing and freelance art. After a full month, she could earn about 20,000 yuan, which was about the same as the management level of Hai City.

Bai Yi knew that her brother-in-law had a bad temperament, so she would take out a few thousand yuan every month to supplement her sister. Then, she would pay her brother-in-law the 2,000 yuan rent.

“Miss Bai, I’m Lu Qi.” The man in front of her reached out to her.

“Bai Yi.” Bai Yi nodded and reached out to shake the man’s hand.

“My appointment is at half past nine. We can go in now,” Bai Yi said.

“Stop talking. Go now. Don’t miss the time.” Grandma Lu was afraid that her granddaughter-in-law would fly away and quickly pushed the two of them into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Lu Qi nodded, but he still got Grandma Lu into the car. He turned on the air conditioner for her and even took a bottle of mineral water for her.

“The weather is hot today. Drink more water, Grandma. Call me if you need anything.”

Bai Yi sized up Lu Qi. It was said that Lu Qi was the child of Grandma Lu’s third son. The Lu family’s third branch were all sons, and they had all given birth to sons. The first time Grandma Lu saw Bai Yi, she felt that it was fate. She had always treated her as her granddaughter.

Lu Qi had grown up in a family of brothers. Logically speaking, he should more or less have characteristics of not being careful and considerate enough. However, the man in front of her did not have such issues. He had the cold aura of a flower from a high mountain.

What was the reason that no one was willing to marry him? Bai Yi could not figure it out.

After settling Grandma Lu down, Lu Qi brought Bai Yi into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The two of them took their numbers and waited for about ten minutes. At this moment, Lu Qi said, “Miss Bai, there’s still time for you to go back on your word now.”

Lu Qi had already observed her when he shook her hand. This woman was gentle and wore a beautiful dress and red high heels. She looked like a traditional obedient and understanding type.

“You don’t have to make things difficult for yourself to fulfill my grandmother’s wish. Marriage is a big deal in life.”

“It’s okay, I’ve already thought about it, Mr. Lu.” Bai Yi looked at Lu Qi, her eyes not wavering at all.

The red steel seal was on their photos. The two people in the photo were smiling insincerely, as if they were not here to get married.

Lu Qi put away his marriage certificate and walked out of the office. He sized up this woman again.

He did not want to marry the person he had met for the first time and had just advised Bai Yi to not do so, but this woman seemed to be very determined, so he did not persuade her anymore.

He took out a key and key card and handed them to Bai Yi.

“This is the key to my house. It’s in Towerview Gardens in the Gaoxin neighborhood. It should be very close to where you work. The subway station is downstairs, about two stops away. It’s very convenient.”

It seemed like Grandma Lu had already told Lu Qi about her work. Bai Yi nodded and took the key.

“You can buy whatever you want at home. I’ll send you living expenses on the fifth of every month. You can decide on the expenses at home. I’m busy with work, so I need you to take care of my family.”

Lu Qi spoke calmly, probably because he was an executive.

“As for the car, just tell me what you like. I’ll pay the down payment for you and you can pay the loan yourself.”

Bai Yi shook her head. She had originally wanted to live together or live like a roommate, but this man talked about the house one moment and the car the next and even wanted to give her living expenses. In an instant, she felt that it was unreal.

“I’m embarrassed to live in your house for free. I can pay the rent every month and don’t need a car. I quite like to take the subway.”

Lu Qi raised his eyebrows, as if amused by the word “rent.”

“No need. We’re already married. I’ll support you.”

Bai Yi was shocked by the words ‘I’ll support you’.
