Fu Tingxiu saw that Meng Ning was about to leave and reminded her, "Aren't we going to exchange contact information? How will I find you later?"
Meng Ning felt awkward: "..."
Only then did she remember and quickly took out her phone. The two added each other on WeChat.
Fu Tingxiu also sent his phone number to Meng Ning and said, "Call me if you need anything."
This was Fu Tingxiu's private number.
"Okay." Meng Ning glanced at Fu Tingxiu's phone out of the corner of her eye. He had saved her contact as "Wife."
Seeing the word "Wife," Meng Ning felt a strange sensation in her heart.
Was she really a married woman now?
She had originally planned to just note down his name, but seeing Fu Tingxiu label her as "Wife," she hesitated for a couple of seconds and saved his contact as "My Mr. Fu."
After changing the note, Fu Tingxiu was about to offer to see her off when his phone suddenly rang. The words he was about to say changed to, "Take care on the road."
Meng Ning didn't want to bother him anymore and hailed a taxi from the roadside to leave.
Fu Tingxiu stood by the roadside, watching Meng Ning leave. Shortly after, a Rolls-Royce pulled up beside him. The man inside rolled down the window.
"Big brother, weren't you waiting for me at the café? What are you doing at the civil affairs bureau? I've been calling you nonstop. You have a contract signing with Mr. Lin in City A at six. The plane tickets are booked for a 4 PM flight. If we don't head to the airport soon, we'll miss it."
The speaker was Fu Boxuan, the second young master of Shengyu Group.
"I took some time to get a certificate." Fu Tingxiu opened the car door and got in, his voice slightly deep. "To the airport."
Fu Boxuan started the car and casually asked, "Big brother, what certificate did you get?"
"A marriage certificate."
Fu Boxuan: "..."
Fu Tingxiu's offhand remark nearly caused an accident.
Shocked, Fu Boxuan hit the gas pedal by mistake and quickly stepped on the brakes, narrowly avoiding danger.
"Big brother, are you joking? You don't even have a girlfriend. Mom has introduced countless women to you, but you didn't like any of them. Mom almost thought you liked men and was planning to find a few men for you to choose from. Our family is open-minded, and besides, I can continue the family line..."
"If you keep talking nonsense, your allowance for the next six months will be cut in half."
Fu Boxuan wailed, "Big brother, please don't!"
"After you drop me at the airport, help me buy a house. It doesn't need to be too big, three bedrooms and two living rooms will do."
"Big brother, why do you need such a small house? You already have several villas under your name, isn't that enough?"
One look from Fu Tingxiu shut Fu Boxuan up. He didn't take Fu Tingxiu's marriage seriously, thinking he was joking.
After all, he knew whether Fu Tingxiu had a girlfriend. It was impossible that he just randomly pulled a woman off the street to marry.
Meng Ning returned home, and as soon as she stepped through the door, her mother picked up a feather duster and started scolding her, "Meng Ning, you've really grown wings and learned to lie! I sent you on a blind date, how could you..."
Before Meng Ning's mother could finish, Meng Ning pulled out a marriage certificate.
"Mom, I got married." Meng Ning opened the certificate and showed it to her mother. "You can rest easy now."
Her mother was stunned when she saw the marriage certificate.
She dropped the feather duster and, with trembling hands, took the certificate.
After examining it closely, she saw that the man on the certificate was quite handsome. Then she noticed the name—Fu Tingxiu?
She remembered that the man introduced by the matchmaking website had the surname Fu (付), not Fu (傅).
Could she have misheard?
