Chapter 1 Flash Marriage

B City.

The man's hand never let go as they walked out of the civil affairs office.

Mo Nuan looked at the marriage certificate with their photos on it, still feeling it was unreal, like a dream.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. "Mr. Lu, you're not divorced, are you? Or do you have some hidden illness?"

Given his incredible looks, women would surely flock to him.

She really couldn't understand why he was still unmarried in his early thirties and why he chose her, an ordinary woman. It didn't make sense.

Lu Chen paused, pursing his lips. "Isn't it a bit late to be thinking about that? Your name is already in my spouse column. Do you want to be a divorced woman?"

Mo Nuan had done the most unbelievable thing in her life, and now her whole body was tense, her mind in a fog, unable to think clearly.

Hearing his answer, she nearly choked.

Impulsiveness is the devil. She must have lost her mind today to inexplicably get a marriage certificate with a man she had known for less than a day!

However, on the path she chose, she had to walk, even if on her knees.

As if seeing through her worries, Lu Chen said, "Mrs. Lu, put away those wild thoughts and worries. I won't engage in domestic violence, I won't have affairs, and I'm not divorced. As for the hidden illness, I don't mind proving it with actions in the future."

Mo Nuan's face turned red. This man really knew how to be righteously shameless!

Wait a minute.

"What did you just call me?" She seemed to have heard "Mrs. Lu" just now.

"Mrs. Lu. Did I call you wrong?" The corners of the man's mouth lifted slightly.

Mo Nuan coughed lightly and turned her face away. He wasn't wrong; she had indeed taken his surname.

But the formal title felt awkward, no matter how she heard it. Calling her by her name felt more real.

"Give me your phone."

Mo Nuan knew what he was going to do and handed her phone to him. She watched as his long fingers quickly entered his number into her phone and then called himself.

"I have a business meeting tonight, and I'll be busy for the next two or three days. Once I'm done, I'll come to pick you up and visit your family to discuss our situation."

Mentioning this made Mo Nuan's head hurt. She really didn't know how to explain it to her aunt and uncle. Who gets married so randomly?

They'd definitely cause a storm when they found out.

"I live with my aunt and uncle. They are my only family."

Lu Chen didn't ask further and just responded, "Okay."

Mo Nuan inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't know how to explain her messy past.

She wanted to go back on her own, afraid her aunt and uncle would find out.

But Lu Chen insisted on taking her back, his reason being perfectly legitimate: "You're a married woman now. If I let you go back alone late at night, what would people think of me as your husband?"

Mo Nuan was at a loss for words and couldn't find a reason to refuse.

This man always hit the nail on the head with just a few words, leaving her unable to argue. Mo Nuan wondered if she would be completely under his control in the future.

The car drove to an old neighborhood on the third-ring road. Lu Chen frowned at the deep alley. "Do you walk through here alone at night?"

Mo Nuan's hand tightened around her bag. "Not always. If I work late, my uncle or cousin will come to pick me up."
