Before leaving, Grandpa Li repeatedly urged Li Mohan to take Ye Huohuo to get their marriage certificate first. If everyone hadn't stopped him, the old man would have personally acted as a warlord and escorted Li Mohan to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
At half past nine in the morning, inside a black luxury commercial vehicle outside the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Ye Huohuo and Li Mohan signed the prenuptial agreement, and then they obtained their marriage certificate.
They sat side-by-side in the back seat.
Ye Huohuo looked at the little red book in her hand, and her heart suddenly felt heavy. Although it was a fake marriage, the certificate was real, and from now on, she was someone else's wife.
Thinking that she had become a wife without even dating for half a day, she felt a little uncomfortable, a little sour. After all, she was also a girl, and how many twenty-year-old girls didn't yearn for a passionate love.
Even if it couldn't be passionate, she hoped it would be sweet and loving, but hers? Never, and...
She glanced sideways at Li Mohan, who was sitting next to her with a calm expression, which seemed impossible.
He was like the most brilliant star in the sky, and she was ordinary, perhaps with only a year left to live.
If your life only has a year left, how will you choose to live it?
Ye Huohuo didn't know how others would choose, but she would never wait for death. Even if she couldn't eliminate the person who harmed her and her entire family, she would fight with all her might to strike the fiercest blow.
Even a tiger, she would break off a tooth! Ye Huohuo repays kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge.
She carefully placed the little red book against her chest, then patted her chest, looking solemn and pious.
"What, can it save your life? Do you have to put it away so carefully?" Li Mohan glanced at her with a hint of disdain in his eyes, as if to say, what's so great about that thing, it wouldn't be picked up even if it were lost.
As he spoke, he put the little red book in his hand into the inner pocket of his coat, closest to his heart.
Ye Huohuo looked at his chest, pursed her lips, and thought this person was quite interesting, completely tsundere!
He disdained her putting the little book close to her body, but didn't he do the same?!
"I put in so much effort for this, of course I have to keep it safe, and it's not that it can save my life, but it can protect me for a year!
As long as we don't divorce, it can allow me to borrow your luck. So I must keep it safe. But what are you putting it away so carefully for?" Ye Huohuo was in a good mood and didn't want to miss this opportunity to retort to the poisonous tongue.
Li Mohan realized at this moment that he had also put the little book close to his body. He looked visibly embarrassed, frowned, and cleared his throat, "I was afraid I wouldn't be able to explain to Grandpa if I lost it, and it would be too much trouble to get a replacement."
Ye Huohuo raised an eyebrow, looking as if she believed him.
"Alright, we've got the certificate. I'll take you to buy some decent clothes. You're still wearing what Sister Mei wore when she was young. As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family, you can't be too shabby!"
"What about my clothes? Why couldn't I find them today? Did you throw them away? I spent over a hundred dollars on them!" Ye Huohuo looked distressed.
"How tattered were your clothes? Thrown away! Don't wear that kind of clothes anymore." Li Mohan felt uncomfortable whenever he thought about the men looking at Ye Huohuo with ill intentions yesterday.
Ye Huohuo was wearing a decent white shirt, but one of the collar buttons was missing, and the neckline was a bit large, revealing glimpses from above.
Li Mohan happened to see it when he looked down, especially the delicate, jade-like collarbone that slightly rose and fell with her breath, and the hickey he had left there yesterday.
His eyes darkened, and his breathing became erratic.
"What kind of technique did you use to bind our fates together, making us husband and wife, will it affect my... view of you?" Li Mohan paused, choosing his words.
Ye Huohuo didn't understand what he meant, but she still thought about it seriously for a long time, "Well, it should have some effect, at least you won't treat me like a stranger anymore..." She thought to herself, "After connecting the姻缘线 (yīnyuán xiàn - fate/marriage line), will there be a feeling of attraction?"
The last sentence, Ye Huohuo said it unintentionally, but Li Mohan heard it with intent.
He turned his head to look at the little woman beside him, feeling inexplicably warm. Her words echoed in his ears, connecting the 姻缘线, would there be a feeling of attraction?
So, was his current feeling for her because of the 姻缘线?
He thought... it wasn't that he was truly moved, but the influence of the 姻缘线. Then why not...
Li Mohan raised his hand and pressed the partition button, isolating the driver from the space behind.
Only he and Ye Huohuo were left in the back space.
Ye Huohuo found it quite novel, "Wow? Your car is pretty good. With this, it's like a small room back here, you could even sleep here."
"Do you want to try?" Li Mohan's voice was a little hoarse.
"Try what..."
Before Ye Huohuo could finish speaking, she was pulled into his arms by a pair of strong arms.
Warm breath blew into her ear and collar.
"What are you doing? ...Li..."
"We are husband and wife now, so some things can be done!" Li Mohan said as he gently bit her small earlobe.
Ye Huohuo felt as if she had been ignited. Starting from her ears, a blush spread across her entire face.
"You... you..." Her lips trembled slightly, and her whole body trembled involuntarily.
Li Mohan was pleased with her reaction, "You're quite sensitive! Your 姻缘线 is very effective."
As he spoke, he gently kissed her long, slender, fair neck. It must be the 姻缘线 that made him obsessed with her neck.
Ye Huohuo's mind was in a daze, her brain was blank, and she had no idea what Li Mohan was talking about.
That unfamiliar heat spread through her body like a tingling sensation. She wanted to push him away, but her limbs felt weak and soft. Was it because of the binding of their fates? She had no resistance towards him at all!
Even the slightest touch made her unable to resist, and there seemed to be some suppressed desire deep within her.
Ye Huohuo unconsciously turned her head, her eyes looking at Li Mohan with a hazy gaze, instinctively moving her lips towards his.
Just as her lips were about to touch his, she was pushed away, onto the seat next to her.
She was still immersed in the lingering passion, her breathing unsteady. Li Mohan's slightly hoarse voice sounded.
"I thought you had a lot of self-control! Turns out to be no more than that."
Ye Huohuo jolted, and when she focused, she saw Li Mohan's clear eyes. It felt like a basin of cold water poured over her, extinguishing the fire of her passion.
"You... are you provoking me?" A trace of indescribable bitterness flashed in Ye Huohuo's heart, and perhaps some... disappointment?
"Heh, you know I'm afflicted with malevolent energy, so I'm most susceptible to the influence of the 姻缘线. What I was just... completely influenced by the malevolent energy!" Ye Huohuo secretly gritted her teeth. It was the malevolent energy's influence, it must be! She told herself.
Li Mohan narrowed his eyes, looking at her with a dangerous glint. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
He raised his hand and grasped Ye Huohuo's chin, "Okay, don't forget, you promised not to disrupt my normal life. I hate women who constantly want to be around me the most. I don't care what influence you're under, it's best to remember your promise! Otherwise..."
Ye Huohuo lowered her gaze, tears welling up in her eyes, whether from grievance or humiliation, she held back, not letting them fall, and said word by word, "I am different from them!"
"How do you guarantee that?" Li Mohan casually added.
Ye Huohuo bit her lip tightly until she tasted a sweet, metallic flavor in her mouth, then forcibly held back her tears.
Only then did she raise her eyes and give a bleak smile, "Let's add a clause to the agreement, if we become a real couple, I will leave immediately!"
Li Mohan looked at her pale face, like paper, and the hint of crimson showing between her lips. Something seemed to strike his heart. Was this... what he wanted?
