The car soon arrived at the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The man woke Lin Qianyi gently. She woke up, still feeling rather groggy.

A gentle breeze blew past, instantly clearing the fogginess in Lin Qianyi’s head. Looking up at the sign, she immediately felt some regret.

This man was very charming and attractive and treated her with warmth and gentleness. But they had just met for the first time today!

Registering their marriage on their first meeting? Things were progressing quicker than a rocket launch…

Moreover, was it really worth it to have a quicky marriage just to avoid her mother’s nagging and rebuke?

Her mother’s incessant nagging versus marrying a strange man? These two choices filled Lin Qianyi’s head. Her pretty face was creased with anxiety.

Standing in front of her, amusement flashed past Di Yanmo’s eyes when he saw her frown.

“Let’s go.”

He wrapped one his long arm around Lin Qianyi’s waist and started walking, effortlessly pulling her along into the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Lin Qianyi was still debating when she was caught off-guard by Di Yanmo’s arm around her waist. She immediately stiffened and raised her hands halfway.

But on realizing it was that man, she suppressed her instinctive urge to grab his arm and throw him over her shoulder.

Di Yanmo naturally noticed Lin Qianyi’s instinctive movement. Nevertheless, he continued to pull her along into the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

“Ahem, Sir? We… we just met today, right? Are you really willing to register for marriage with me? Don’t you want to reconsider?”

Lin Qianyi lifted her head to gaze at the man who was taller than her by nearly a head. She felt like any struggle on her part would be to no avail.

She was in a terrible dilemma right now. She wanted to avoid her mother’s relentless nagging, but she also didn’t want to enter into a marriage just like that. Nevertheless, no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn’t think of another solution.

If she asked the man to pretend to be her boyfriend and just go back with her to meet her mother, he would definitely think that she was a cheat. Nowadays, there were plenty of cheats around, all of them after sex and money.

Even if this guy was not rich, his extraordinary good looks alone were enough to make countless girls lust over him. She was no exception!

But Lin Qianyi would never admit it. She secretly lusted after him but didn’t dare to acknowledge it.

She had come up with that idea earlier just to convince herself she was doing something. If the man rejected her, she could use it as an excuse and console herself that she had done all she could. She would then resign herself to accept her mother’s nagging and rebuke.

However, Lin Qianyi was destined to be disappointed. Di Yanmo immediately responded, “No need. Since we are already here, we shouldn’t waste this opportunity. Anyway… I’m very satisfied with you.”

His expression remained impassive and cool as he spoke. But somehow, Lin Qianyi could sense a sliver of warmth emanating from his handsome face.

Lin Qianyi averted her eyes. She must have been mistaken. How could such a cold face exude any warmth? She must have been bewitched by his good looks!!

Lin Qianyi felt very conflicted. Nevertheless, the next words that came out of her mouth were in direct contradiction to all common sense.

“Actually, I’m also very satisfied with you.” Lin Qianyi felt like biting her own tongue the moment those words left her mouth.

Where was her common sense? Had it all flown out the window?!!

PS: As to why the Ministry of Civil Affairs was opened at midnight, please refer to the next chapter. The male lead character used his authority to make the ministry staff hurry over late at night.
