When Song Yuanyuan found out that Xu Xu had been quietly dating for two months, her jaw dropped in shock.
She had known Xu Xu for almost ten years. This woman always looked cold and did as she wished. It was really hard to imagine how she managed to catch her love at first sight with a frigid face.
Just by showing her face??
She sighed into the phone: “You guys are going too fast! When are you going to treat me to a meal? I’ll check him over for you.”
Xu Xu was silent for two seconds. “We already got the certificate.”
Song Yuanyuan: “????”
Ten seconds later.
Song Yuanyuan: “!!!!”

When their gazes were level, both of them paused.
……
Xu Xu had always felt that with Lu Teng, they had skipped the blushing red ears and heartbeats part of falling in love from the get-go and directly entered the steadily trickling ordinary.
Even when it came to kissing, Lu Teng was restrained and gentle. His two hands honestly held her cheeks and even when he was most emotional, he only touched her waist.
Xu Xu was not averse to this. It was just that she’d seen how his cousin was completely unrestrained, so she was a little curious. What was the undisguised Lu Teng like in love?
Did he know that you can use your tongue when kissing?
Xu Xu recalled how he immediately lifted her up just now.
The movement was so skilled, he definitely knew.
An old driver with a fake license.
—
Lu Teng pursed his lips and quietly put her down. He wanted to say that he was used to hefting the Samoyed, but felt that this explanation was weird so he just kept his mouth shut.
They were silent for a while. Xu Xu was clearly immersed in her own world, unbeknownst what she was thinking, her expression gradually became heavy.
Lu Teng’s heart thumped. Was she thinking of breaking up?
“You…”
Lu Teng immediately cut her off: “Have you lost weight recently?”
Rule #18 of Lu Shan Chuan’s Manual to Getting Girls: Three compliments in a line— you’ve lost weight, you’ve become a lot skinnier, how can you be so thin?
No woman can resist these lines.
Sure enough, Xu Xu’s attention was diverted. She looked down and pinched her waist. “Have I? I think I’ve gotten a little chubbier.”
Lu Teng had no work recently and invited her to eat every day.
Lu Teng confidently said, “Yes, you’ve become a lot skinnier.”
Xu Xu’s brows relaxed and she beamed. “Really?”
Lu Teng let out a breath of relief: The good-for-nothing advisor has his moments of reliability.
Then he secretly recalled the feeling in his hands just now. It was a little softer than when they had just met, and rather comfortable to embrace.
Tsk, women.
Xu Xu was immersed in the beautiful dream that he wove, she smiled. “Will it look better if I take the marriage certificate photo like this?”
Lu Teng froze halfway in his nod.
When he reacted, he even forgot to pretend. He pressed his tongue against his cheek restlessly and slightly narrowed his eyes. “Is it the meaning I’m thinking of?”
Xu Xu: “What meaning are you thinking of?”
“Getting a $9.90 certificate.”
“Okay.”
The two of them kissed downstairs of her home and agreed to get up early to line up and get the certificate the next day.
Marriage certificate.
Before parting, Xu Xu proposed to meet at the Bureau of Civil Affairs. She said, “On the way there, you have half an hour to back out.”
Lu Teng looked at her under the fuzzy yellow brightness of the street lights and smiled. “Believe me, I’m more worried that you’ll back out tonight.”
……
As if to prove his words were true, Xu Xu saw the big Cherokee parked at the end of the path when she came downstairs the next day.
Seeing her, the window lowered, revealing Lu Teng’s prominent face. “You came out early.”
Xu Xu who was so nervous she left an hour early: “…I’m going to buy breakfast first.”
“I bought some already.”
“…When did you come?”
Lu Teng lifted his lips, tore open a pack of yogurt, and handed her one. “A bachelor getting on in age is much more anxious than you think.”
Xu Xu took it. The car slowly made its way out of the neighborhood, passing by office workers returning from their morning exercises in their small groups.
Ten minutes into the drive, the dashboard lit up. Xu Xu glanced at it- Lu Shan Chuan.
The moment the call connected through the bluetooth earphones, the man’s loud voice came from the earphones.
“Beast Lu! What does your message from last night mean? You’re getting married? With who? Is it our Teacher Xu? You must be a lightning warrior!!”
Lu Teng hissed and adjusted the volume of the earpiece in annoyance. “Can you speak normally?”
Then, the other side restrained himself and lowered his voice.
Xu Xu turned to look at him. The man’s profile while driving was focused, lacking the oppression in his deep black eyes, and carried some languidness that was unknowingly revealed.
Lu Shan Chuan didn’t know what to say. He sneered, “Why would I treat you to a meal? Are you my dad or am I dad?”
“Miss Li? I haven’t told her yet.”
“Tsk, what are you worrying about? Go away, don’t bother your dad while he’s getting married.”
……
Hanging up, Lu Teng turned his head towards her a little. His eyes remained on the road as he asked Xu Xu, “How about you meet my parents at my house tonight?”
“Okay.”
While speaking, his gaze never moved away.
The corners of his lips hooked and his index finger lightly tapped the steering wheel. “I am super happy today” was written all over him.
Sensing her gaze, Lu Teng’s lips curved. “Restrain yourself a little, Soon-to-be Mrs. Lu.”
Xu Xu hummed, slowly took back her gaze, slowly sipped some yogurt, then slowly spoke. “Have you noticed that you’ve been very unrestrained since last night?”
Lu Teng: “…”
F*ck.
He had lost his sense of measure in joy.
—
A strangeness coming from Lu Teng’s unilateral silence engulfed the car.
Xu Xu, however, appeared normal. She ate the sandwich in her hand in small bites. Since she decided to be frank and put their cards on the table last night, she had already anticipated the different ways he would react.
After about half a minute, Lu Teng finally spoke. “Lu Shan Chuan told you?”
Xu Xu shook her head.
“The first time we met, when you were speaking with him, I saw it.”
Lu Teng: “…”
“Sorry, I didn’t not tell you on purpose. It’s just that I didn’t expect you would make yourself like this for me…”
Xu Xu slightly tilted her head, poking him in the elbow. “Are you mad? Did your self-esteem take a hit?”
Lu Teng was silent. He wordlessly stopped the car on the side of the road and turned to stare at her. He didn’t answer her and instead asked, “So you don’t want this marriage?”
His eyes were pitch-black, his lips taut. None of the languid ease just now was anywhere to be seen. Now, some of his inherent plundering nature was revealed.
“If I say I don’t, will you beat me up and toss me out of the car?”
Lu Teng stared fixed at her for two seconds. His throat moved, yet he laughed. “Why would I beat you up?”
He barely forced himself to reach out and rub her head. “I’ll send you back.”
Saying so, he lowered his eyes to cancel the navigation on the phone.
There was still 13 minutes until their destination.
Expressionlessly, he thought, he hadn’t driven fast enough.
Good thing he hadn’t told Miss Li yet, or else where would he find a 38 year old self-respecting female CEO. The girl appeared silly, but unexpectedly, she was comparable to an Oscar-winning actress when she remained calm and cool. She could even act normal as she dated him, watching him stripped of his disguise as he played pretend. It looks like she’s rather experienced in love.
He tipped over a surge of incredible nameless vinegar in his heart, while he still elegantly maintained his last stubbornness.
“Lu Teng.”
Xu Xu suddenly spoke.
His mood wasn’t good, he responded lowly.
Turning his head, he precisely met the lips that she sent over.
His heart stopped for half a beat, then suddenly clearly and joyfully thumped in his chest like rain falling on a drum.
F*ck! It was all a setup taught by some bastard ex!
He seemed to have become fierce. His right hand fumbled to unbuckle his seatbelt, his left palm on her shoulder gave a strong push and he pressed her in the passenger seat. He ruthlessly sucked her soft lip, crushed, invaded. This was the first kiss with Lu Teng’s style of overbearing.
When he sucked on the tip of her tongue, it was like an electric current ran from her sweet lips all the way to his heart.
……
A long time later, Lu Teng withdrew a bit, pressing against her neck as he panted lightly.
His voice was hoarse when he spoke: “You have so many tricks, how is a little girl like you so crafty?”
—
The process of getting the certificate was incomparably smooth. When she held the red book in her hand, Xu Xu was still a little dazed.
Just like this, she became a married woman.
Lu Teng, however, needed no buffer time. He pulled out a little velvet box from his pocket.
Opening the box, a pair of exquisite fine rings shone brilliantly under the light.
People around them began looking this way, noisily urging him to kneel.
Lu Teng’s brows furrowed, pulled Mrs. Lu into his arms, and found a secluded corner on the second floor.
As he put the ladies’ ring on Xu Xu on his knees, Lu Teng couldn’t help but laugh. “Mrs. Lu, do you have to be so calm even when you’re being proposed to?”
The corner of Xu Xu’s lips rose into a small arc. She crouched down and lightly kissed him.
In a place you can’t see, I’ve already set off 120,000 fireworks in my heart.
In more than twenty years, I am happiest in this moment.
Aaahhhhh!!!!! So much dog food in this chapter.
LOL. No wonder she wasn’t tricked. I particularly like her description “an old driver with a fake license.”
Though I thought his family implied he was too cold and didn’t get involved with women?
