Grandma held Cen Pan's hand and guided her to look back.
Cen Pan casually glanced around and her eyes widened in shock.
The cars and pedestrians on the street were motionless. Even the flying birds were frozen in the air. Even the blood flowing out of her body was strangely still.
It was as if a pause button had been pressed in this space. Apart from her and her grandmother, there was nothing alive.
"What you see is the future," Grandma explained just in time.
"If you don't agree to marry Ye Xiao, this is what's about to happen. You'll die. You can't avoid it."
"I'm not afraid of death," Cen Pan replied firmly with tears in her eyes.
She had long wanted to reunite with her family and bear the burden alone. It was too tiring and miserable.
But… she still had her younger brother, Cen Ming.
"For Mingming and for yourself, be good, Pan Pan. Go back and promise him."
Grandma smiled gently and hugged her. She patted her back gently, just like how she used to coax her to sleep when she was young. Her actions were familiar and warm.
Cen Pan wanted to cry again.
She could not die. Grandma was right. Even if it was only for her brother, she should not be weak.
"Okay. I'll go back."
"Good child. Remember, you have to live bravely. Grandma will always watch over you."
After Grandma finished speaking, she waved her hand. Cen Pan's body retreated uncontrollably and the surrounding scenery changed rapidly.
Bang!
Cen Pan crashed into the Rolls-Royce. She opened her eyes in confusion and met Ye Xiao's cold eyes.
"Marry me. I can offer him better treatment."
His words were exactly the same as what she had just heard.
Cen Pan took a deep breath. She knew that this was her grandmother's doing. Her time had been reversed.
This time, she could not refuse to get off the car!
Cen Pan looked up and nodded firmly.
"Okay, President Ye, I promise you."
The moment she finished speaking, she saw the aloof president smile for the first time.
He seemed satisfied with her answer.
"Go and register." After Ye Xiao said that, he waved his hand and the car instantly started.
"Hey, wait. I have to go back and get my household register." Cen Pan reminded him. "The Bauhinia Neughborhood."
She gave him the address. The driver turned the car around and pressed the accelerator to the max.
The scenery outside the window retreated rapidly. Cen Pan even saw the bus that she had taken before. The thunderstorm had subsided and the bus was slowly moving. She wanted to look again, but when the bus drove over, she could no longer see it.
She could not help but clutch her bag tightly.
Now that she thought about it, everything was too illusory and magical, even the thunderstorm earlier was a little strange. Was it because Grandma purposely created it to let her meet Ye Xiao?
After getting the household register, Ye Xiao brought Cen Pan to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
"Let's take a picture."
He dragged her to the camera. She sat stiffly while letting him fiddle with her.
With him around, all the procedures were quickly dealt with. Cen Pan only heaved a sigh of relief when the two bright red notebooks were held in her hands.
This was a real marriage certificate with a steel ring on it. From this moment on, she was Ye Xiao's wife.
"Come on, let's get you home."
Ye Xiao said calmly and was about to bring her into the car when he heard a woman's voice from the side. "Ye Xiao."
He stopped and frowned in the direction of the voice.
"An Yu, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to see the mistress that seduced you."
After An Yu finished speaking, she raised her hand and gave Cen Pan a heavy slap!
