Chapter 5 - Any kind of punishment

Gu Lin still hadn't let go of her. There were so many people coming and going, and seeing a handsome guy with an explosive appearance doing a "wutong" towards a pretty girl was really too embarrassing.

However, as one of the protagonists, Ying Yue didn't feel that this was an enviable matter.

She raised her head to look at Gu Lin. This man was always calm, whether it was his expression or tone of voice, they were both extremely indifferent. Even though they were very polite, they could feel the distance between them.

It was impossible to bullshit with him. Since he had been caught red-handed, he could only admit his mistake obediently.

"Alright, I know that I've done wrong. I'm willing to be punished."

In this world, no matter who you offend, do not offend a lawyer. No matter the time, do not offend a person who relies on their mouth to make a living.

"Any punishment?"

Gu Lin paused for a moment, feeling that this condition was acceptable. He also had a very troublesome matter that he was unable to fulfill by himself. However, if Ying Yue could help, it would be much easier.

Ying Yue didn't know what this man was thinking. As long as she could escape prosecution and prison, everything was fine.

Thinking up to here, Ying Yue nodded like a chicken pecking rice. She didn't believe that Gu Lin could really eat her. However, what happened afterwards made Ying Yue feel that she was really too stupid. This man was obviously trying to eat her.

Gu Lin put down his hand, but his gaze was still fixed on Ying Yue. He did not dislike this woman's first impression of him.

"Then let's go and get a certificate to get married. The Civil Affairs Bureau still has a long way to go before we get off work."

For a split-second, Ying Yue felt as if her ears were hallucinating. How could such an absurd thing happen?

Seeing Ying Yue stand there in a daze, Gu Lin felt that he had made a mistake. Perhaps this was a professional habit, because in the court, there was no need to go into great detail. All it needed to be said was what he wanted to say.

"I mean, since you said you were my wife in front of me, if we were married, there would be no deception, no disgrace."

It was a good reason, but it was all nonsense.

Ying Yue pursed her lips and wanted to leave. She wasn't naive enough to want to play such a small game.

Gu Lin didn't stop her, but he took large strides and followed behind her, continuing to speak at a moderate pace. His voice had a certain charm to it, so regardless of whether he was willing or not, he would still quietly listen to what she said.

"I know something about your situation. At the moment, you're single, and there's no scandal. Marriage is a good choice; I'll do all my husband's responsibilities, including shopping, eating, asking questions, and sending him some brown sugar."

Ying Yue continued to walk in front, treating him as though he was talking nonsense. Was marriage really something so casual?

"I don't have any bad habits. I'll go home on time and earn a lot. I can leave everything to you to take care of. If you marry me, you won't suffer any losses."

When Ying Yue heard him continue to talk, she suddenly stopped and turned around. She looked at the man behind her who was less than half a meter away.

"Why me?"

Although he was a handsome guy that was hard to come by, this proud personality made her hate him. However, after thinking about it carefully, she once thought that the person she would never marry in her entire life would no longer exist. So, what difference would it make who she married to?

In any case, he would live his entire life, as long as he could choose the right one.

She saw Gu Lin pause, as if he was thinking about what to say.

"I need someone to marry, and you happen to need it."

After saying that, Ying Yue began to understand a little. So it turned out that Gu Lin was also forced to marry by his family, which was why he had such a thought; and she herself was the same as well. She had once told her family happily that she might marry Sun Yusheng this year, but Sun Yusheng had actually married.

"Alright."

It was unknown what kind of mentality she had, but Ying Yue nodded her head. She was just a man who had seen her a few times and knew her name. She thought of her grandma and grandpa, who only met on the day of their marriage.

When Gu Lin received her answer, he squinted his eyes and smiled. It's been five years, he might have to put it down.

Before long, the two of them were standing in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau's entrance. Today was not a good day for Huang Daoji, so there weren't many people who came to get married. In the large hall, there were only a few couples.

Among them were Ying Yue and Gu Lin.

In front of the registration window, the staff members were checking the two's documents skillfully and mechanically. Then, they raised their heads and asked, "Are you both familiar with your respective functions during the wedding examination?"

When Ying Yue heard this, she raised her head in a daze. What kind of stupid question was this?

She looked somewhat helplessly at Gu Lin, who smiled at her. This was the first time the two of them had come to a place like this. Neither of them were more experienced than the other.

Seeing that he did not answer, the staff member raised his voice and asked again, "Are you all satisfied with your questions on that aspect?"
