Chapter 2: The Flash Marriage

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Every time Xu Yi recalled that memory, she felt that it was absurd and unrealistic. She and Lu Shen spent 200 dollars to be in that church, wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans under the witness of a priest. More importantly, they had only known each other for three days at that time.

Moreover… they basically spent those three days in a hotel bed. Other than ‘physical communication’, there was only one valuable verbal communication. She had forgotten who said it, but it was ‘Shall we get married?’

Las Vegas’s entertainment industry was well developed. It was a place where money was wasted. It was the world-renowned gambling city and was also known as the ‘City of Marriage’.

There was nothing easier than getting married in Las Vegas. Every year, tens of millions of tourist couples registered to get married here. With just under 100 dollars, they could rent a small church. After registering, the couple would swear in front of a priest. After that, their marriage was established and legal.

It was not until the registration time that they knew each other’s names, Xu Yi and Lu Shen. At the same time, they also saw passports that were different colors from their own. A red passport, from mainland China, and a blue passport, from Hong Kong, China.

It was a ridiculous wedding. It was not until a few days later that she knew what kind of man she had married.

She had not paid much attention to the news in Hong Kong and was not familiar with the name Lu Shen. Although there was something extraordinary about the man’s every move, she did not care, because there was no shortage of arrogant rich people in Las Vegas. He was so arrogant that he did not recognize her, a female star that had taken the entertainment industry by storm.

Then, she saw Lu Shen buy a plane to save time, just to transport the pure-blood horse he bought at the auction. Only then did she realize how rich the man she had married was.

When she went to look up the man’s background information, it long list of information popped up. Hong Kong, Lu Family, Lu Shen.

There was almost no gossip about Lu Shen, but there was a lot of news in the business world.

First, he was known for his methods in business. Lu Shen did not just parachute into the Lu group after graduation. Instead, he took the initiative to take over the Lu Group’s business, which was on the verge of bankruptcy. Within a year, it turned profitable. Two years later, he naturally entered the core management of the Lu Group. Everyone in the Group was convinced.

Secondly, Lu Shen was also known for his personality. Not only did he inherit his father’s business methods, but he also inherited the cold-blooded and arrogant attitude of his British mother. From a young age, he hated the media. His personality was cold and superior. He turned a blind eye to his stepmother, a movie queen from the entertainment industry whom his father married. He was also very mean to his half-sister. When his sister had just come of age, he had used her as a bargaining chip to send her to a business marriage alliance. He was extremely heartless.

Xu Yi could not understand why a deep-minded capitalist like Lu Shen would casually marry a woman. If she was a scheming woman, she could make a fuss about the division of property when they divorced in the future.

She was not narcissistic enough to think that Lu Shen would fall in love with her at first sight. This black-hearted capitalist, who could change countless lives in Hong Kong with a snap of a finger, could not be a love-struck person who would marry her without thinking about anything.

Xu Yi cursed herself for being impulsive and waited for Lu Shen to initiate the divorce. She felt that she and Lu Shen were people from two different worlds. It was impossible for them to be husband and wife. It was better to break up early and get it over with.

However, she did not initiate the divorce. Lu Shen did not mention it either. The two of them had gone through it just like that. It was as if the marriage certificate had never existed.

…

The sound of the water in the bathroom stopped. Lu Shen walked out with a towel wrapped around his body. Under the weak light, he saw Xu Yi lying down to rest. His body rose and fell slightly as if he was asleep.

Lu Shen walked over with light steps and turned off the light casually. The bedroom fell into darkness.

Xu Yi had just turned over, and in the next second, a man’s heat and scent spread out and enveloped her firmly.

She widened her eyes. In the darkness, she could only vaguely see the outline of the man’s lower jaw and the sharp lines of his Adam’s apple.

Even if she did not talk about his worldly possessions, this man’s appearance was also extremely good-looking. It was so good that when she first saw him, she had the urge to ride on his body.

Lu Shen smelled the familiar scent of a woman on Xu Yi’s body. He lowered his head and moved closer, enveloping her.

The man’s hot breath hit her neck. Xu Yi could not help but tremble. She reached out her hand, slowly grabbing the man’s hair and pressing it down.

“Quick, kiss me.”

“Mmm…”

Neon lights flashed outside the window. The colorful, intoxicating night had begun..
