Noon.

A Western restaurant.

At a table near the floor-to-ceiling windows arranged with a vase.

Gu Feng sipped his coffee while he was on the phone.

"Mom, it's not that I can't find someone; it's that I don't want to. Don't rush the blind date thing. Mom, the signal here isn't great, I'm hanging up now."

After finishing, Gu Feng hung up the phone and then composed a message informing his friend that he had returned to the country, asking the friend to come and pick him up.

At that moment, a woman sat down in front of him.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Her hair waved beautifully, she was wearing a red bodycon wrap dress, as striking as her red lips.

After putting down her handbag the woman sat elegantly, the curve of her waist and hips was tight, and her pale skin peeking out from the slit of her dress.

Gu Feng instinctively looked up at the woman's face.

Compared to her stunning figure, she had an even more perfect delicate face.

But Gu Feng didn't recognize her.

Just as he was about to ask.

The woman unexpectedly asked first, "Did you bring your household registration booklet?"

Confusion swept over Gu Feng's face.

Seeing his bewildered expression, the woman asked, "Didn't Mr. Xu tell you?"

Gu Feng put away his phone and shook his head, puzzled.

The woman explained with a speechless look, "I need to find someone to register for marriage, the kind that's legal but lacks marital realities. Besides accompanying me to some banquets when necessary, we would live our separate lives at other times."

Before Gu Feng could decline, the woman added, "If you don't see any problem, I will pay you three million yuan after we get the certificate!"

Just as Gu Feng was about to say something, he saw a man hastily walking into the restaurant and coincidentally sat down at the table behind the woman.

He checked the time while he adjusted his appearance and tie.

Gu Feng realized what was happening.

This woman must be sitting at the wrong table, right?

He hesitated before asking the woman, "Are you sure you're at the right table?"

The woman, worried that she might have really made a mistake due to his question, instinctively looked back at the table behind her.

Indeed, there was another man waiting there.

But when she had arrived, that man hadn't reached yet.

Typically, in business discussions, isn't it normal for the second party to wait for the first? Moreover, as a woman, it's rare for the man to be late?

So, the man behind her definitely wasn't the one.

This type of professional personal planning company shouldn't be unreliable about timing!

But when Gu Feng mentioned this, the woman thought he was reneging, so she looked at Gu Feng's appearance and physique with satisfaction and asked, "Do you think the compensation is too little? Then name your price."

Gu Feng smiled and said, "You might really be mistaken."

The woman scrutinized Gu Feng and the vase on the table and said, "Mr. Xu mentioned using the vase as a code, and that the other party is an ex-soldier."

Gu Feng was astounded.

He had indeed been a soldier, but he had been discharged a long time ago.

Gu Feng shifted his gaze to the waiting man behind the woman, who with his buzz cut and build, probably was also an ex-soldier.

What a coincidence!

The woman then asked, "You have a Beijing household registration, right?"

Gu Feng hastily nodded, "Yes."

"That's correct then," the woman folded her arms, not noticing how her movement accentuated her bosom, "I don't like to haggle. If you agree, we shall go register. If not, let us not waste each other's time."

Her time was precious.

If possible, she wouldn't have come to meet in person.

There was a reason for this.

Her name was Lin Yue, the heir of Jiangcheng Thunder Group!

She had both wealth and looks, even comparing favorably with celebrity beauties.

Youths who pursued and wished to marry her were numerous as carps crossing the river.

But her father had once promised her hand in marriage to a younger member of his comrade's family in Beijing, which had made both Lin Yue and the Lin Family decline many proposals from other groups and heirs over the years.

Lin Yue, due to the engagement, had never dated anyone since her university days.

Suddenly, not long after her father passed away, the other family called off the engagement.

That meant breaking off the engagement!

Lin Yue was furious!

As someone who had always been the favored princess, she had always been the goddess and cherished memory of others' youth.

From high school to university, she was never short of excellent suitors.

During high school, she was busy with studies and had no time for relationships.

In university, already engaged by her father, she didn't want to go against her father and thus never dated anyone.

After graduation, as she took over her father's group, she received a lot of attention from peers of the opposite gender in Magic Capital, but always declined suitors using the excuse of having a fiancé.

Even on her father's side, she turned down many local proposals.

To avoid offending these colleagues, the Lin Families early on spread the news of Lin Yue's promise to a soldier's descendant from Beijing.

Now, the sudden withdrawal of the engagement?

Where would Lin Yue and the Lin Family put their faces?

She would undoubtedly become a laughingstock in their circle!

Even her deceased father would be ridiculed by people in Jiangcheng.

Logically, the dissolution of the marriage should have been good for Lin Yue, as it would allow her to find someone she truly loved.

But if she didn't marry a soldier as her father had described, the Jiangcheng capitalists who had been rejected by the Lin Family might think the Lin Family had belittled and fooled them.

This would make it difficult for everyone in the same business circle to interact, which could be detrimental to the development of the Lin Family's current group.

Therefore, she had to set the engagement in stone!

The family relatives might have also considered this; instead of letting the elders find another match for her, she might as well take the initiative and find someone to cooperate with her act!

Fortunately, people in the circle didn't know specifically which Beijing family Lin Yue was to marry, so she just needed to find someone from Beijing who had been a soldier and get the certificate with him.

At most, just package the background on one side to deceive her family.
