"Should we sign a prenuptial agreement?" Su Hongxing asked after some thought.
She was clueless about Ye Qilan's background. Yet, from his hand-tailored suit and the sense of wealth that exuded from his every gesture, she knew he was someone extraordinary.
In her former world, there was only Xiao Ji. She had never paid attention to other men, nor had she ever imagined another man entering her life.
Upon hearing Su Hongxing's words, Ye Qilan finally looked her in the eye. His eyes, gentle and smooth like jade, radiated warmth, but Su Hongxing felt a bone-chilling coldness.
For some reason, she knew this man wasn't as harmless as he seemed.
"Miss Su, this is a prenuptial agreement, please sign it in the car," Bai Chen handed a document to Su Hongxing.
After a quick look, Su Hongxing saw that the agreement was all about property matters. She didn't particularly understand finance, but she knew that even if she married Ye Qilan, she would gain no advantage, not even a portion of the property if they divorced one day.
In short, the prenuptial agreement gave her no benefits whatsoever.
She signed it swiftly, catching another look from Ye Qilan.
"Why aren't you smiling?" On the way to the civil affairs bureau, Ye Qilan suddenly asked.
Surprised, Su Hongxing looked at Ye Qilan, not understanding why he asked such a question.
Seeing her confusion, Bai Chen kindly explained, "Miss Su, try to smile more, the master prefers women who smile."
But Su Hongxing turned her gaze away indifferently. Unfortunately, she wasn't fond of smiling.
Seeing Su Hongxing's lack of response, Bai Chen silently shook his head, foreseeing her eventual fall from favor, despite her fortunate marriage with Master Ye.
Once they entered the civil affairs bureau, Su Hongxing noted the unusual silence. Not a person was in sight on the streets.
Turning back to observe Ye Qilan again, she saw that his composure, confidence, and style made him outstanding. However, unlike the domineering CEOs of urban legends, he was alone except for Bai Chen.
But the strange vibe at the civil affairs bureau was clearly the result of a thorough clearing.
The process from entering the bureau to securing their marriage certificates took no more than ten minutes.
Holding the hot, freshly stamped marriage certificate in her hand, then seeing the tall and upright man beside her, Su Hongxing felt the unpredictability of life.
She had never thought that she would marry a man other than Xiao Ji. But today, she was married. Besides knowing this man's name, she knew nothing about him.
Ye Qilan entered the Land Rover, as she was instinctively about to get in the car, but Ye Qilan beat her to it and closed the car door.
She stood awkwardly outside the car. What was this supposed to mean?
Without giving her a sideways glance, Ye Qilan looked straight ahead, "Bai Chen, drive."
Bai Chen looked at Su Hongxing, who was standing foolishly in the same spot, and knew this was the inevitable outcome.
A woman like Su Hongxing didn't appeal to Ye Qilan. Sooner or later, she'd be out of favor.
"Inform her later that she should move to the Shallow Bay Villa today," Ye Qilan casually gave the order.
"Miss Mo has asked for a meeting with you tonight. Should we cancel it?" Bai Chen pointed out the crux of the matter.
After all, it was Ye Qilan's wedding night. Wouldn't it be improper to neglect his wife on a such a night?
"Mo Qiu is rather patient," Ye Qilan's words were brief.
As Ye Qilan's assistant, Bai Chen naturally knew the undertone of his words—going to the meeting wouldn't do any harm.
To Ye Qilan, women were just adornments. Their only function was to provide amusement, which was the key to Ye Qilan's happiness.
