This year's autumn was still hot.
Dead leaves fell from the poplar tree next to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
She didn't know what day it was today, but there were many couples who came to get a divorce. Tang Wei stood under the tree, her fingers clenched nervously.
She had already waited for two hours, but she still did not see any netizens she had met in 'Love To Chat'.
Thinking of this app, the corners of her mouth curled up. If it weren't for the sake of getting rid of the Tang family, she wouldn't have asked her best friend to create such an absurd app. Less than an hour after she registered, countless people added her. She was dazzled for a moment until a voice call came in. At that time, she was frightened by the sudden voice and didn't know why she pressed the answer button by mistake.
After that, she heard a pleasant voice echo in her ears. Although she was sometimes dense, she still knew that she shouldn't be careless with these kinds of apps. Fortunately, the other party seemed to be able to guess her thoughts and went straight to the point, saying they wanted to get married in a flash. Moreover, it would not be a problem for them to support her.
Tang Wei lowered her eyes and was lost in her memories. She had no idea that a man was already standing in front of her.
Lu Beichen sized Tang Wei up with a scrutinizing gaze, but he could not see the girl's face. He could only see her straight nose bridge.
His voice was low and cold. "Hello, I'm Lu Beichen."
The sudden voice made Tang Wei raise her head and take two steps back. She introduced herself, "Hello, I'm Tang Wei."
The man was tall and handsome. His face was well-defined, and his deep eyes were filled with flowing light. His beautiful thin lips were faintly curled up, mirroring his nobility and elegance.
'Wait a minute.' Tang Wei's thoughts paused. 'This person is Lu Beichen?'
It was said that the Lu family was the wealthiest and most powerful family in the East Continent. They had five sons and eight daughters.
Tang Wei frowned. However, this was not the main point. The main question is, how could Lu Beichen be the man nicknamed 'Little Overlord' in the app?
"May I ask if you are 'Little Overlord'?" Tang Wei asked nervously.
Lu Beichen frowned, not understanding what was going on. His sharp gaze swept over his assistant, Xiao Chen, who was a meter away.
Tang Wei followed his gaze.
Xiao Chen faced the two of them and quickly said, "Actually, I'm 'Little Overlord', but don't misunderstand. The person you will be marrying is my Third Master. Back then, I noticed your account while I was on the app. While I was observing it, Third Master suddenly appeared and tapped on your profile picture, which resulted in the voice call. I wanted to quickly hang up, but Third Master himself had stopped me."
Xiao Chen swallowed his saliva silently. Fortunately, he explained in time. That day, he was playing the app. Out of the blue, Lu Beichen had suddenly come and tapped on Tang Wei's profile picture. However, the app had a function where if you tap on a person's profile picture, it would make a voice call to that person. In a panic, he wanted to stop the call before the other party would pick up, but Lu Beichen stopped him.
Immediately after, a nervous and pleasant voice came from the voice chat.
He did not expect his Third Master to actually say that he wanted to get married. After all, they were pretty much strangers on the internet and did not know each other. How could anyone agree to such an absurd request? Contrary to his thoughts, Tang Wei actually agreed.
Her gaze shifted to Lu Beichen's face, her face turning red. Living together with such a handsome husband would really kill her from blushing all the time.
"Why is your face red?" Lu Beichen asked curiously.
Tang Wei was speechless.
Damn it, would this man die if he didn't ask such a question?
She didn't answer his question and said bluntly, "Mr. Lu, are you really considering marrying me?"
She did not ask why the man chose to marry her. After all, she didn't want to tell Lu Beichen her reasons either, so it was only fair that she didn't pry into his matters.
A bachelor from a wealthy family like Lu Beichen must have many shocking stories. Furthermore, he actually picked a low-class nobody like her as a marriage partner on 'Love To Chat'. It was really unbelievable.
Hearing the girl's question, Lu Beichen subconsciously glanced at her. Which woman would not want to drag him to the Civil Affairs Bureau? Alas, this girl was really interesting.
He said softly, "There's no need for me to change my mind. On the other hand, you're not as glamorous as you seem."
Tang Wei was surprised that the man was so straightforward. However, Lu Beichen had really underestimated her. She had originally wanted to just find someone to marry. However, since the man she got was from a wealthy family, then it would suit her plans even more. After all, she wanted to step on the Tang family's heads and let them know their place.
She looked up and said with a smile, "If I'm going to become your wife, then I wouldn't need to be afraid of not being glamorous. Don't I have Third Master Lu to protect me now?"
When Lu Beichen heard this, he felt slightly proud from the compliment. He said with a serious expression, "As you wish."
"Anyways, let's go."
Tang Wei didn't retort and obediently followed him.
"The divorce rate is quite high today. If I had known earlier, I would've chosen a more auspicious day."
The girl's tone was natural and steady.
Lu Beichen calmly replied, "You're auspicious enough for me."
He was basically quoting, "I don't care if the day is auspicious or not, as long as you are the one blessing me with your presence."
Oh my god, Third Master Lu truly had a way with words.
The divorced couples around cast unfriendly looks at the two of them.
—
The staff member looked at the two of them and asked, "Where are your photos?"
The two of them only handed over some documents in their household register, but there were no photos.
Tang Wei and Lu Beichen looked at each other and shook their heads.
The staff asked, "Are you two planning to get married?"
Newlyweds who came to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificates would have sweet smiles on their faces and would even take photos outside in advance. No one was willing to take photos here as the bureau's photography skills had always been ridiculed.
"Yes, we are."
"Yes."
The staff looked at the two of them and then at the people queuing up for a divorce. He then said, "Follow me to take a photo."
Two minutes later, the two of them sat in front of a red background.
The staff said, "The new couple, please get closer to each other and smile."
Tang Wei held her hands nervously. She stole a glance at the man, who looked serious and unsmiling.
Just as the staff member was about to press the shutter, Tang Wei's hand quickly wrapped around Lu Beichen's arm and leaned her head toward him with a gentle smile on her lips.
"Kacha!"
The staff looked at the photo with satisfaction and muttered, "Could it be that my skills have improved?"
He walked to the computer and started making the marriage certificate.
Lu Beichen turned his head and stared at the girl in front of him, whose smile had yet to disappear. Her bright eyes and white teeth were looking back at him. He lowered his gaze to look at her arm.
Tang Wei pursed her lips and quickly let go. She explained, "I didn't want to look bad in the photo." Finally, she added, "Girls are all like this."
"Is that so?" Lu Beichen said.
She nodded.
Afterward, the staff member came back and said, "Alright, come take your certificates."
Tang Wei did not dare to trouble Lu Beichen further, so she quickly stood up and said to the staff, "Thank you."
She took the certificates in her hand as Lu Beichen stood up at the same time. The two of them walked out of the building together.
