"Don't you need a man to protect you?"
Wu Jinyan halted running and turned around. His voice was full of strength and decisiveness, she saw no hesitation in his eyes.
Thinking for a moment, she found his words were rather logical.
Though she lied about her marriage and made her final decision, she was still kidnapped and almost violated by Young Master Han.
On the other hand, this man before her did not take advantage of her even when she was lying unconscious like a log of wood.
He was a gentleman who knew how to respect and cherish a woman.
She stared at his face for a second and lowered her gaze towards his wide shoulders, scanning down to his feet. An eye feast, putting one's heart on fire.
Any sane woman would die to marry a man like him. Why not have him all by herself when he was offering himself?
Gu Zichen looked at her and noticed that her eyes were suddenly brightened. He didn't know what filth was running in her wild mind but he was relieved as she appeared to be keenly analysing his words.
Wu Jinyan nodded her head when she finally made a decision. His thoughtful words and breathtaking looks were enough to convince her. Moreover, he seemed to be rich as well.
In addition, he was back to normal after a major accident, in just a few days which shows his health status.
There was nothing valuable for her to lose in marrying a man like him and she didn't want to regret later by rejecting this fine candidate now.
Furthermore, she was reminded of her friend Zhang Xiaoyuan's words. Indeed, having her own family was important for a lone soul like her.
Looking at the man before her, Wu Jinyan felt she finally found the happiness she deserved.
"I agree.." she said in a firm voice. She didn't even think if she would regret her decision later.
Gu Zichen nodded his head with a pleased look on his face. He thought it would be hard to convince her but it took him less than five minutes. Looking at his wristwatch, he said "That's good.. let's go"
He didn't hesitate to hold her hand and brought her straight out of the house.
"Hey...wait. Where are you taking me? I have to go..." Wu Jinyan was originally in a hurry to meet her manager Lin Ran but this man somehow distracted her mind completely. If she couldn't meet Lin Ran before the day ended, she could forget about having a tomorrow in the entertainment industry.
"You'll know once we go. It will not take much time" Gu Zichen said pulling her towards a sports car and shoving her into the passenger seat before he got into the driver seat.
Driving along the wide lanes of the city, it took him only ten minutes to reach the civil affairs office building.
Wu Jinyan got out of the car and on seeing the place where she was, she hurriedly said.
"Hey... It's almost time for them to close the office and I don't have my documents. How can we.."
"Don't worry. Leave this matter to me" Gu Zichen grabbed her hand and pulled her into the building. Wu Jinyan was confused but still followed him.
She didn't understand why this man was in a hurry to marry her as though some demon was chasing him from behind. Nevertheless, she followed him as she should do this now or later.
Just as he promised, it took only a few minutes and she already had two red booklets in her hands.
Wu Jinyan's eyes twinkled like stars when she opened the certificates and looked at the picture. She traced her fingers across the faces in the photo.
She felt like she was in a dream. She couldn't believe she got married.
There's no need for her to bother about that Wu Hao. Now, she's really a married woman with a man who would protect and cherish her.
"Wow. I never thought getting marriage certificates was this easy and simple. Haha" Wu Jinyan laughed as she stared at the red books. Gu Zichen watched the little woman beside him as she jumped like a bunny. Her eyes were sparkling and her happy mood seemed to spread to him as he smiled.
"It's because your husband is competent" He said rubbing her head lightly before walking to his car. He didn't notice how he addressed himself as her husband without any restrictions.
"Husband. My husband..." Wu Jinyan whispered under her breath as she followed him. Touching her head, Wu Jinyan smiled like a fool. This strange feeling was strange and sweet.
Right, this man was now her husband. But wait. What's his name again? She got married to him without knowing anything about him.
'Wu Jinyan... you fool... You crazy' She quickly looked at the name next to hers on the certificate and her mind went blank.
"Where do you want to go now?" Gu Zichen asked but received no reply. He turned around only to see her rooted to the ground with a dazed expression while holding the certificates.
"What happened?" He waved his hand before her. Coming to her senses, she asked in a dull voice "You...You are Gu Zichen?!"
"Yeah. Is something wrong with that?" Gu Zichen said staring at her pale face.
"No. But what do you do? I mean your job?" She sounded so cautious, that she seemed to regret her previous decisions.
How could she still not guess who this man was after knowing his name?
She knew Gu Zichen was practically a moving load of gold, the God of wealth, B city's top businessman.
Those fancy cars and that majestic manor, the mannerisms he exhibited, his expensive clothes. Yes, she noticed he was rich but never expected him to be the legend, President Gu.
Now that he heard her asking about it, Gu Zichen found it strange. He also did not know much about her.
He didn't allow his brother to talk much about her details and only asked if she was married. Because, that was all he needed to know.
Staring at the woman before him, he thought not only her, but he was also a little stupid to get married without knowing anything about the other person.
"My family runs a business and I took over the business from my father. To others, I'm the CEO of Gu Corporation, Gu Zichen. But to you... I'm also your husband, Gu Zichen"
