Chapter 25: I Benefit from the Marriage

Chapter 25: Chapter 25: I Benefit from the MarriageJi Niandong looked at the red booklet in her hand and felt like everything recently was a dream. She had been abandoned by a boyfriend of five years who felt like family, and just when she hadn’t recovered from that, she became a legally acknowledged married woman. The key thing is, this husband of hers is someone so far beyond reach, a paragon whom she had never thought would intersect with her life in these twenty-four years. Ji Niandong turned her gaze to the side; she had never seen anyone as handsome as him. Moreover, he’s wealthy and powerful, and helped solve all her problems. Towards her, he seems quite nice as well! When they were just getting the marriage certificate and taking their vows, the man was momentarily excited, smiling so genuinely and charmingly. It seems like he truly wants to marry her. Even if... in the event he’s just doing this on a whim for fun, she is now the legally recognized Mrs. Lu. Even if divorced in the future, she might still receive a substantial alimony. No matter how she thinks about it, it seems she’s gained more than she could lose to this man in front of her! Well then, she’ll just do her best as Mrs. Lu, after all, she’s at a suitable age for marriage! "What are you thinking about?" The man’s warm, gentle voice rang in her ears, pleasing enough to make a typical soft-hearted person like her go weak all over. A graceful woody tobacco scent suddenly spread to her nose, and Ji Niandong snapped out of it, curling her hands protectively in front of her body, pressed tightly against the back of the chair. The man’s face slightly tilted, enlarged in front of her, even the fine hairs on his face were clearly visible. He bent his head to help fasten her seatbelt, asking softly, "Why have you been dazing out since getting in the car?" Then he straightened up, sat back, turned the wheel, and drove, "What are you thinking about?" Ji Niandong hemmed and hawed for a moment, then truthfully replied, "I’m wondering why you want to marry me!" After she answered, she quickly added, "But now, I’m not thinking about this question anymore." "Oh?" Lu Beichen glanced at her with interest, driving smoothly. "Although I don’t know why you married me, thinking it over, I’m not losing out. In fact, it’s more beneficial for me!" She paused for a moment, "We got our marriage certificate so hastily, does your family know?" seaʀᴄh thё nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lu Beichen smirked a bit, quite good at seeing things positively, "Nian Nian and his grandparents are traveling abroad and haven’t come back yet. They’ll naturally know when they return!" The "Nian Nian" he referred to is Lu Beichen’s son, Lu Sinian, over five years old, mother unknown. "Last time you rescued me and took me back to your place, though it was big, it was an apartment, and you don’t live with your family, right?" She continued to ask, with a hint of hope in her tone. Lu Beichen smiled at her and patiently answered, "Rest assured, my family only has me and my son. Sister Zhou comes occasionally to clean and take Nian Nian to and from school." Hearing him say this, Ji Niandong was relieved a bit. At least she wouldn’t have to worry about getting along with elders every day, she just needs to get along peacefully with his son. "When my dad recovers and is discharged, I’ll take you to meet him!" She emphasized as well, showing that she’s fully accepted him as her husband. "From now on, we’re husband and wife, there’s no need to be so polite and formal like strangers!" Lu Beichen kept one hand on the steering wheel and reached over to hold her hand with the other. His sudden touch made Ji Niandong want to pull away, but then she thought she shouldn’t do that anymore, so she just nervously clenched her hand into a fist.
