27 I CAME, I SAW, I MARRIED PART 15 (1/2)

Ge Chen sipped his tea and answered, ”I'll be free from the Ge Family and I hope you can support me all the way. Since you will be the only person I can rely on after our marriage.”

”I haven't agreed yet. So, to get your freedom, you are ready to marry a wood like me. I feel almost pity for you.” She shook her head.

Ge Chen was surprised. ”Wood? You are not-”

Xue Lin said, ”You don't have to be polite. I know what I am. Aside from that, you said that if I marry you, they cannot touch us anymore. Why is that?”

Ge Chen replied, ”Because there are places where they have no power, I live in one of the cities like that.”

She casually asked while finishing another pastry, ”Which city is it?”

He said, ”It's B City.”

Xue Lin shuddered the moment she heard it. Her face became instantly pale.

B City is one of the richest cities in China and he can live there if he works under the Mu Family. But that didn't make her nervous.

Many moving pictures rushed from her memories, all the good memories, and the bad memories and she couldn't stop them.

”…ss… miss… miss, are you alright?” Ge Chen sounded concerned.

”I-I'm alright… really…” Xue Lin didn't have the time to think about what he was thinking. Cold sweat rolled down from her left temple. She tightened her grip under the table and looked at Ge Chen. ”Are you really okay with this?”

Ge Chen was worried about her as he saw her face becoming pale. But he still answered, ”Are you asking me if I'm okay with you then yes, I am. I don't have regrets proposing this to you.” However he couldn't help but think, 'Did something happen in B City in the past? I have to be careful not to make her feel uneasy about it.'

Xue Lin gazed at him for a while before saying, ”Somehow I don't dislike you.”

”I'm honored. Since we came into an agreement, do you want to sign the contract?” Ge Chen looked at her.

She shook her head. ”I don't want to. I will believe in you. And when do you plan on getting the marriage certificates?”

He gave her a warm look. ”I won't mind having it now but do you have your family register?”

She replied, ”I have but it's only the soft copy.”

”That won't be a problem.” Ge Chen shook his head. ”I'll arrange the rest.”

”Alright then, let me finish all the pastries first.” After finishing the pastries, they headed towards the hotel. While walking, she asked him, ”By the way, I'm Xue Lin. What's your name?”

'And finally, she is interested.' Ge Chen said, ”I'm Ge Chen. You can call me Chen.”

She nodded. ”Alright… Chen… It feels weird to call someone without an honorific.”

Ge Chen gave her a warm smile. His heart melted when she called out his name like that. ”You'll get used to it. I'll call you Lin if you don't mind.”

”Sure, I don't mind.” She could care less about how others called her.

Louis blinked. ”Huh? Just like this? That was too easy!” He couldn't believe his eyes and ears.

Ming Yu commented, ”It's more like a contract than marriage.”
