She could hear the sound of the helicopter’s engine.
Lu Manman watched as the guests walked further away, and the fireworks in the sky began to fade.
The day was finally over.
She was utterly exhausted.
She leaned back in her chair, tired out. She had a bird’s eye view of Wen City’s nightlife.
The dimness of the night and the neon lights made this familiar city even more mysterious.
She felt a little dazed.
She could not help but recall everything that had happened at the wedding.
Such a grand wedding surprised her.
She remembered that they had gone to collect their marriage certificate two days ago. Mo Yuanxiu had appeared calm and composed back then, but the process had been very orderly. After they collected their marriage certificate, the two of them had gone their separate ways without having a meal.
She had thought that such a formal marriage was the type of wedding that should happen naturally. Back home, she had casually stuffed the red wedding album in the closet. She felt that she would not take it out again until the time came for the divorce. She had not really looked at the marriage certificate, and all she remembered was that Mo Yuanxiu and her were both wearing white shirts, looking quite clean.
It was such a grand and extravagant wedding. When did Mo Yuanxiu start preparing for it?
She vaguely remembered that he did not look too good when they got their marriage certificate the day before. Only now did she realize that he had been in a rush to leave that day.
“Tired?” His low voice sounded by her ear. It was such a quiet night, and his voice was very captivating.
“Mm-hm.” She nodded.
He chuckled and naturally wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his embrace. “It’s only for today.”
“We’re finally done with the wedding.” She played along with his intimate actions.
He seemed to chuckle again.
His laugh was blurry.
She leaned against his sturdy chest. She thought that now that they were married, whenever they were in public in the future, she would have to pretend to be close to him. In private, she would not have to put up a fight when they touched occasionally, as she was tired of doing that.
She was tired beyond belief.
The helicopter flew for about twenty minutes before landing at his private villa.
The lights in the villa were bright, and the surroundings had already turned dim at night. Only this villa seemed to be a mirage, giving off a dazzling glow.
She got off the helicopter with his help.
He gave the driver a red packet.
“Thank you, Mr. Mo.” Upon hearing the respectful voice, she realized it was Qin Ao.
“Go back and rest early.”
“Yes.” Qin Ao nodded.
Mo Yuanxiu turned around and pulled Lu Manman along, preparing to enter the dazzling palace.
“Mo Yuanxiu,” she called out.
“Mm?”
“Will you take Qin Ao back in the future?”
“Any objections?”
“I want to spend money to hire him,” she said directly.
“How much will you pay?”
“Name your price.”
“Do you think we should discuss the price on our wedding day?” he asked.
She bit her lip and glared at him.
She knew that this was just a marriage in name. No matter how extravagant it was, it was just for show.
