Chapter 9: Wait Get Married

Chapter 9

"If I'm lucky enough to be selected, I'll let you know in advance," Lu Yanming said with a faint smile, his tone humble.

After speaking, he strode towards the interior.

Li Zhen was shocked. She grabbed his arm again, exerting all her strength. "Mr. Lu, listen to me. Last night was really a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to..."

"If you make a mistake, you get punished, regardless of whether it was intentional or not," said Lu Yanming. His shirt concealed lean, powerful muscles that easily shook her off.

Li Zhen was so angry she got a headache. "Mr. Lu! There's no evidence from last night left. There are no surveillance cameras at home or eyewitnesses. You don't have any proof!"

As a precaution, although Lu Yanming had cleaned the house early in the morning, she still hired a cleaning service to thoroughly clean again after she left for work, just in case he tried to frame her.

She felt guilty for mistakenly thinking he was someone else last night and wanted to properly explain things to him. But she didn't expect the vice president of a corporate group to be so petty as to want to drag her to jail with him!

Li Zhen took a step closer and unabashedly grabbed his collar. "I called you Mr. Lu out of respect. Don't go too far!"

The angry little kitten bared its tender fangs.

Lu Yanming's smile deepened, looking thoughtful. "But you forgot you transferred me money today. Isn't that evidence?"

"Would I make such a low-level mistake? Look closely at the memo for my transfer. It says 'borrowed money!'"

"Not too stupid..." Lu Yanming smiled and took out his phone, playing a recording. "But how do you explain this?"

[Fifty thousand. Retail and wholesale prices are different.]

[Eighteen thousand, flat rate. Don't ask too much given your poor skills last night.]

[Oh, it's because my skills were so bad that you kept hugging me, kissing me, wanting me, and crying?]

Li Zhen's expression gradually stiffened.

He actually recorded it!

Lu Yanming looked on with a smile. "As the executive vice president, I really can't swallow being coerced by a little hand model like you. Did you think I was some useless mascot sent by headquarters to just put up with it?"

Just as the two were at an impasse, a tall, handsome policeman in uniform came out of the station.

The handsome policeman spoke with solemnity yet gentleness. "You two have been tugging at each other out here for a while. What are you doing?"

Lu Yanming: "Hello officer, I want to report..."

"Hubby!" Li Zhen's heart thudded. She stood on tiptoes and covered his mouth. "Hubby, we're going to get our marriage certificate, right? Let's go, the civil affairs bureau will close soon..."

Her soft little hand firmly pressed Lu Yanming's lips. Underneath, the corners of Lu Yanming's thin lips curved up imperceptibly. Last night he was willing, while she was an accident. Where was the wrong in that?

Li Zhen pulled Lu Yanming away hurriedly.

Lu Yanming was ruthless!

What enmity or resentment did they have? Sleeping together as consenting adults was no big deal! Yet he wanted to drag her down with him!

After shoving Lu Yanming into the car, Li Zhen got in the passenger seat. She hesitated for a long time before cautiously saying: "Mr. Lu, you must be quite wealthy. Since this is a sham marriage, we should sign a prenup. But there's no time today, so how about another day?"

"Just a bit of money that I don't need. Do you need it?" Lu Yanming buckled his seatbelt, his expression aloof and handsome as always.

He seemed to never have emotional fluctuations, as if everything was under his control.

Li Zhen fell silent.

He drove a Maserati and was a company vice president with a salary she couldn't fathom.

Meanwhile, she had no house or car and only made 400,000 yuan annually. How could she say she needed a prenup to protect her assets?

Li Zhen's eyes lit up. "But I didn't bring my ID card. We'll have to do it another day!"

"I brought yours. I picked it up this morning in passing," said Lu Yanming as he started the car. The Maserati rumbled deeply.

Li Zhen clenched her fists in anger!

Her ID card was in the side drawer of her closet, locked, with the key on the bottom shelf of her nightstand.

His hand sure worked quickly!
