Di Yanmo’s expression grew even more affectionate as he watched the worried-looking little girl. His arm around her waist tightened.

Consequently, Lin Qianyi’s marriage was completed. It felt so unreal. Looking at the certificate in her hand, Lin Qianyi was caught between laughter and tears.

What would her mother think if she knew she had sold herself just like that? Would she wail to the heavens or just give her a sound thrashing?

Only after leaving the Ministry of Civil Affairs did Lin Qianyi suddenly realize something!

It was 1 am now. Why was the Ministry of Civil Affairs still open?! More importantly, it was the weekend!

Wasn’t the Ministry of Civil Affairs only open during weekdays from 9 am to 5 pm?!! What was going on? When did the Ministry of Civil Affairs become so hardworking? Working through the night to complete registrations?!!

Lin Qianyi felt like this world was just one big hallucination. The more she thought about it, the more she suspected that it must be a dream.

What Lin Qianyi didn’t know was that the Ministry of Civil Affairs was opened in the middle of the night because a certain man had made a certain phone call. That call caused the ministry staff to rush over to the ministry, respectfully helping them to complete the registration.

The two of them boarded the car again. Di Yanmo stated the name of a restaurant, and Yan Yi responded politely. He started the car and drove it toward their destination.

He caught an inadvertent glimpse of his boss’ reflection in the rearview mirror. There was a slight smile on his face. Yan Yi was shocked!

He never expected his boss to suddenly become a husband in this manner! More importantly, his arrogant and imperious boss seemed to be thawing!

His cold and aloof boss was no longer cold and aloof. Was this still his high and mighty boss?!!

The answer was: of course, he was. His boss would only behave so warmly toward this girl. Wrong, she was now Madam Boss.

Lin Qianyi, who still thought she must be dreaming, was led into a restaurant by Di Yanmo. The two of them entered a private room. Meanwhile, Yan Yi sat quietly in the main hall, all alone. Enjoying his status as a lonely, single man…

Yan Yi grumbled to himself. His boss had really forgotten all about his assistant after meeting this girl. After getting married, he had cast him aside like an unwanted dog.

As Yan Yi watched the quiet street outside, vehemence flashed past his eyes. He hoped that madam was not someone sent by their enemies… Otherwise, even if his boss killed him, he would never allow madam to remain by the boss’ side!

Meanwhile, inside the private room, Lin Qianyi pinched her own thigh hard to confirm that this was not a dream.

Her egg-shaped face twisted from the sharp pain, but she quickly composed herself. Nevertheless, Di Yanmo caught her every movement.

He elegantly took a sip of red wine, concealing the slight curl of his lips.

Looking at the man facing her, who looked so alluring even when sipping wine, Lin Qianyi couldn’t help swallowing her own saliva. She took up the glass of water and took a few gulps to suppress her urges.

“Umm… Well, you…”

Lin Qianyi wanted to ask the man if he was free next weekend. But she had just spoken up when he interrupted her.

“Di Yanmo.” The man’s low voice rang out. His profound eyes were fixed upon Lin Qianyi.

“…?”

Lin Qianyi stared at him blankly. She didn’t react at all. Perhaps she was intoxicated by his deep voice, or perhaps she just didn’t manage to catch his words.
