Chapter 37: Obtaining the Marriage Certificate 1

Qin Ruyan lowered her eyes, recalling the text message she received yesterday.

She seemed to have finally made up her mind. When she looked up again, her eyes were filled with determination.

“Okay, we’ll get the marriage certificate when we return to the capital.”

Lu Jingchen was stunned by her words and stood there for a long time before reacting. He reached out and cupped her face.

“Do you know what you’re saying?”

Although Qin Ruyan was still unsure about her feelings for him, she was certain that when Lu Jingchen held her and kissed her, she actually enjoyed it quite a bit.

She also remembered the text message from that person last night. Even after she returned to China, he still wanted to control her?

In the capital, no one was more powerful than Lu Jingchen. And he was handsome.

“I know. When we return to the capital, I’ll take you home to meet my uncle, then I’ll get my household registration booklet, and we’ll get the marriage certificate.”

Lu Jingchen’s eyes deepened. He pulled her closer to him and said half-jokingly, “Ruyan, I don’t accept a marriage in name only.”

Qin Ruyan raised her eyes. The next second, she took the initiative to kiss him. She was inexperienced and not very skilled, not daring to tease him like he did to her. It was a very brief kiss.

“I know. I don’t intend to have a marriage in name only with you either.”

Lu Jingchen looked at her for a long time, unable to discern any unusual emotions on her face.

Qin Ruyan felt a little nervous. What did he mean? Wasn’t he the one who said he liked her so much, that he couldn’t wait to marry her? Now he was hesitant?

Lu Jingchen smiled and rolled over to pin her down, leaning close to her ear and speaking softly.

“Then let me collect some interest first? Save the wedding night for the night we get the marriage certificate?”

His voice was a little hoarse, filled with desire.

Qin Ruyan nodded.

Lu Jingchen lowered his head and kissed her, then grabbed the remote control nearby and threw it at the light switch. The next second, the bedroom was plunged into darkness.

He coaxed her to respond, his hand reaching up from her waist, undoing her buttons.

Qin Ruyan stiffened for a moment, and Lu Jingchen noticed. He released her lips.

“Scared?”

His voice was low. Qin Ruyan shook her head, then remembered that it was pitch black now, so he probably couldn’t see her movements.

She spoke softly, “Not scared, just a little nervous.”

Lu Jingchen chuckled. He picked her up and sat her on his lap, taking off her top.

Qin Ruyan flinched slightly, a little embarrassed as she hid in his arms.

Lu Jingchen leaned down and whispered something in her ear, and Qin Ruyan lifted her head from his embrace.

The moonlight outside, filtering through the thick curtains, cast a hazy glow on the large bed in the bedroom.

Lu Jingchen’s body was tense, but the location wasn’t suitable.

He lowered his head, hearing Qin Ruyan’s uncomfortable moans. It was maddening.

…

The next morning, Qin Ruyan woke up early. She instinctively wanted to get up, but a heavy arm was blocking her chest. She looked down and saw that his hand was still around her waist, his arm holding her captive, preventing her from moving. The problem was that she was completely naked, not a stitch of clothing on.

Qin Ruyan didn’t know where he got all these tricks. Last night, they were only one step away from going all the way.

She was exhausted from being tormented, her voice hoarse from begging.

But he didn’t seem to be relieved, and the two of them remained in a stalemate for a long time.

Thinking about it, Qin Ruyan blushed slightly. She looked at her palm, which was completely red.

“What are you thinking about?”

Lu Jingchen had been awake for a while, but seeing her still asleep, he didn’t get up. He planned to sleep a little longer.

When Qin Ruyan woke up, she moved, and he woke up too. Following her gaze, he looked at her hand.

He chuckled softly, his voice a little hoarse.

“Were you reminiscing about last night, Yan’er? I know you weren’t satisfied. We’ll go back to the capital at noon, get the marriage certificate in the afternoon, and I’ll make it up to you tonight?”

Last night, she had even cried and begged him in the end.

Qin Ruyan looked at him, struck by lightning.

“Going back today?” She hadn’t accomplished anything on this trip, and she was already going back?

Well, she couldn’t say she hadn’t accomplished anything. She had married herself off, and to the richest man in the entire capital.

“Yaoyao went back to the capital last night,” Lu Jingchen pinched the soft flesh on her waist, and Qin Ruyan couldn’t help but moan softly.

Lu Jingchen smiled mischievously, “So sensitive?”

Qin Ruyan glared at him.

“Can you stop talking nonsense?” Her face was red, and Lu Jingchen didn’t let up.

“Okay,” Lu Jingchen readily withdrew his hand. He pulled back the covers and got out of bed. Qin Ruyan glanced over and saw that he wasn’t wearing a shirt, only a pair of sleep pants.

“I’ll go take a shower first. Do you want to shower with me?” Lu Jingchen knew she wasn’t wearing a single piece of clothing under the covers.

Qin Ruyan shook her head and pulled the covers up to cover her neck and below.

“I’ll wash myself, you don’t need to worry about me.”

Lu Jingchen lowered his head and leaned close to her ear. “Alright, give you some time to adjust. You’re not going anywhere anyway.”

After he went into the bathroom, Qin Ruyan picked up her clothes from the nightstand and put them on one by one. She still wasn’t used to the change in their relationship.

By the time she had slowly put on her clothes, Lu Jingchen had also come out of the bathroom.

He was wearing a black shirt, the sleeves rolled up slightly. Frankly, he was really handsome.

Lu Jingchen walked up to her and touched her hair. “The hotel has breakfast. Do you want to eat here or should I take you out?”

“Let’s just eat here, no need to be so troublesome.” She wasn’t picky about food, so it didn’t matter where she ate. After thinking for a moment, she added, “I came here to check out the fabric market, and I haven’t decided anything yet. Do we really have to go back to the capital now?”

Lu Jingchen lowered his head and kissed her lips, a short, restrained kiss.

“There are plenty of fabric markets in the capital, Yan’er. I can’t wait to get you into my household register.”

His eyes held a captivating depth that could make anyone fall for him. Qin Ruyan pondered for a moment and spoke softly.

“I won’t go back on my word since I promised you.”

Lu Jingchen raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a playful smile. “You have such a bad memory, Yan’er? Did you forget when you deleted my WeChat?”

She touched her nose with a little guilt and coughed before speaking slowly. “We’ll go back then. But after we get the certificate, I still need to come here again.”

Lu Jingchen smoothed her hair, speaking casually. “No need. Once we’re in the capital, I’ll have all the fabric materials and samples from all over the country collected for you.”

“Then I’ll trouble you.” Qin Ruyan was relieved to hear this. She wouldn’t have to run around herself.

“I pay Chen Zhong a lot of money. It’s his job to run errands for his boss’s wife. As for me, besides work, all my free time will be spent with you.”

Qin Ruyan was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized. “You’re so clingy?”

Lu Jingchen chuckled, “Only to you.”
