Chapter 20
"Wait, I think we can still negotiate."
Huo Yuchen's face was cold. "Too late."
Su Ningxi pouted and grumbled, "Do you have to be so petty?"
Huo Yuchen's face darkened. "What did you say?"
Although her voice was very soft, Huo Yuchen heard her words very clearly.
Hearing Huo Yuchen's tone change, Su Ningxi immediately cowered and her eyes darted around. "Nothing, I was just wondering what I can do for you to let me off."
Huo Yuchen glanced coldly at her without saying a word, and continued walking outside.
Su Ningxi's mind raced at this time. It seemed that begging him was her only choice. She had thought of asking her grandfather, but if she did that, wouldn't he know she had another identity!
Forget it, get out first and talk later. A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses.
Taking a deep breath, as if making a major decision, she called out to his back, "I'm begging you, please let me off! I'll agree to whatever conditions you said."
She had thought it through. Anyway, her current identity was fake, and a fake marriage wouldn't affect her real identity at all.
Huo Yuchen didn't stop when he heard this. He just glanced at Liu Yang, who understood and turned to walk towards Su Ningxi.
Liu Yang came over and put the contract in front of Su Ningxi. "Miss Su, please sign."
This time, Su Ningxi didn't hesitate. She picked up the pen and scribbled her name.
In the car, Su Ningxi glanced at the napping Huo Yuchen with his eyes closed and asked, "Mr. Huo, can I ask you a question?"
Huo Yuchen didn't open his eyes, just uttered one word, "Speak."
"Why me?"
"Because you're ugly." Huo Yuchen answered bluntly.
Su Ningxi...
She turned her head indignantly to look out the window at the completely unfamiliar scenery.
Wait, something's not right!
"This isn't the way to my home. We're going the wrong way."
Huo Yuchen said, "Who said I was sending you home?"
Su Ningxi was taken aback. Okay, she was thinking too much.
"If you're not sending me back, you should at least let me off!"
Just then, the car pulled over and stopped. Liu Yang said, "Mr. Huo, we've arrived."
Arrived where? Su Ningxi looked around, she didn't know where this was!
Then she heard Huo Yuchen say, "Get off."
When Su Ningxi got off the car and saw the three words "Civil Affairs Bureau", her heart skipped a beat. Please don't let it be what she thought!
She stood still and didn't move. The Huo Yuchen walking ahead turned around. His brows revealed a hint of impatience as he said coldly, "Aren't you going to follow?"
Although she had guessed it, she still wanted to confirm, "Can I ask what we are doing here?"
Huo Yuchen said, "What do you think?"
Su Ningxi pretended to be confused. "Haha! What do I think! I think I should go back first!"
She turned to leave, but Huo Yuchen's voice came from behind. "Liu Yang, call the director and say..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Ningxi was so scared that she hurried over. "Don't get me wrong, I just want to go back and get my ID card. I don't have it with me."
Seeing Su Ningxi running even faster than a rabbit now, Liu Yang couldn't help laughing to herself. She thought, this new Mrs. Huo is really interesting. Master Huo's life will definitely not be boring with her around.
"Miss Su, don't worry. As long as our Master Huo is here, everything will be fine."
Su Ningxi patted her forehead. For the first time, she felt that Liu Yang talked too much. She really wanted to seal her mouth. Of course she knew Huo Yuchen had the ability to do that.
Although she was very annoyed inwardly, she didn't show it on her face. "Is that so? That's good, that saves me a trip."
Huo Yuchen glanced at her without saying anything, then walked straight inside.
Su Ningxi didn't dare play any more tricks now. She hurried to follow him.
Before leaving, she couldn't forget to glare at Liu Yang. It was her fault for being long-winded.
Liu Yang was a little confused. She thought, it seems this new Mrs. Huo has quite a temper!
But still, just looking at their backs, they looked quite well-matched - the man sturdy, the woman tall.
Ten minutes later, Su Ningxi and Huo Yuchen came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, now with a little red book in their hands.
A marriage certificate didn't change anything. The two came out one after the other, with ten thousand miles between them.
Suddenly, Huo Yuchen stopped. Su Ningxi thought he was waiting for her, so she instinctively quickened her pace. But just as she reached his side, she heard him warn her.
"From now on you are Madam Huo. Please remember your identity and do not disgrace the Huo family by fooling around with undesirables."
The reason he said this was because when he went to pick her up earlier, he saw her coming out of a hotel with a man. Although he had married her because she was useless, he still had some requirements of her - that is, she could not cross his bottom line.
No matter how she lived before, now that they were married, she had to behave properly. If she committed adultery, it would be him losing face.
After Huo Yuchen finished speaking, he left without giving Su Ningxi a chance to respond.
Su Ningxi was very angry at his arrogant attitude. She looked at Liu Yang, who was still standing there, and asked angrily, "What does he mean? Saying I fool around with undesirables?"
When had she ever fooled around with undesirables? What's more, they were only pretending to be married. He had no right to control her. Hmph! He could dream on.
Liu Yang smiled awkwardly without answering, then walked to the car and opened the door. "Madam, please get in the car."
Su Ningxi was very uncomfortable with this unfamiliar title. Goosebumps rose all over her body. "Liu, just call me by my name!"
"Yes, Madam."
Su Ningxi...
She got in the car and found that Huo Yuchen hadn't gotten in at all. It seemed like he had left.
"Where's your boss?"
"Master Huo went back to the company. I'm going to help Madam move house."
Move house?
"Who said I was moving?"
"Master Huo said he didn't want rumors going around that you were living separately on the first day of your marriage." Liu Yang conveyed Huo Yuchen's meaning truthfully.
"Getting married is such a hassle." Su Ningxi looked very unhappy.
"I'll go myself! I don't have much stuff, just give me the address."
Liu Yang said, "You are Madam now, your status is honored. How can you move house yourself? Let me handle it."
Su Ningxi grumbled inwardly. What honored status? The truth is he was afraid she wouldn't move and he would lose face.
She didn't insist anymore and let Liu Yang handle it in the end.
At the villa, Butler Zhang was already looking out, eagerly anticipating the new Madam's arrival.
The young master really kept this wedding a secret. At first he didn't even believe it. After all, as far as he knew, the young master didn't have any women around him. This sudden marriage still felt like a dream to him.
This Madam must be a peerless beauty! Otherwise how could she win over the cold-faced young master.
