Chapter 5

All of a sudden, Gu Shishi turned to look at that man.

She would never let Gu Anhao achieve her goal, whether that man was in a relationship with Anhao or not.

She stepped forward. “Wait a second. I think this must be some kind of a mistake. After all, Gu Anhao’s my younger sister, and we’re just here today to help change the errors of her ways so she won’t go astray. And you know what? Anhao never did well in school… ”

Gu Shishi, under the cold glare of the man, quickly changed the subject after feeling intimidated for no reason. “What I meant was, was that my sister, Anhao…”

“The Gu family has a reputation in A City too, so I advise all of you to better mind your words and attitude.”

Zuo Hancheng softly spoke in an indifferent manner, “Since matters have already reached this point, I have no choice but to get Anhao out of this mess. Since Anhao has already agreed to marry me, there’s no need for all of you to be here telling her what to do.”

He gently patted Anhao’s shoulder and said, “Do you have your credentials?”

With a tiny spark of excitement within her, Anhao nodded. “Yup.”

Five years ago, Madam Gu stubbornly refused to put Anhao’s name into the Gu family household registration when they adopted her. However, she agreed upon learning that her stay with them was temporary. As a result, Anhao had her very own stand-alone household registration book.

Madam Gu frowned and said, “Gu Anhao, you better think this through. You’re a daughter of the Gu family, are you sure you want to simply marry a stranger just like that?”

“What does it matter to you what I do? You all hope that the sooner I get out of the Gu family, the better! Am I right?”

Anhao glanced at her in a cold manner. She had never felt so good, witnessing Madam Gu being this furious, along with Gu Shishi’s anxious and frustrated look. Then, she whispered after courageously tugging at the man’s sleeve, “How do we get married? Let’s get to it now!”

Zuo Hancheng saw the little girl’s pride and persistence despite mixing up her passion and the concept of marriage. He gave a slight smile. “We’ll go to the Bureau of Civil Affairs.”

Several days later.

Due to the man doing all the talking on her behalf, Anhao could not remember how impulsive she was on that day anymore. She took the initiative to go to the Bureau of Civil Affairs with him to register their marriage not only because of his suggestion, but also because of the regret and fury that both Madam Gu and Gu Shishi were somehow displaying.

Feeling distressed, she slammed her head against the table upon looking at the small red marriage passport.

She actually got married to a stranger who she had just met once.

And she knew nothing about him other than his name being Zuo Hancheng!

After that happened, he vanished without a trace as he had to go on a business trip overseas. All he left her was his private phone number.

She was only nineteen years old, but she got herself involved in a marriage without rhyme or reason! And she even had no clue who exactly her newly-wedded husband was!

‘What if he’s a top drug lord? What if he’s a human trafficker?!

‘Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!’

Wishing that she could knock herself unconscious, Anhao continued banging the tabletop with her head!

One month later.

Anhao was about to forget the fact that she had transformed from a high schooler into a “married high schooler”.

Until she caused one hell of a mess due to her boldly doing something in Enchanting Bar…
