Jin Nian felt that this was a fantasy. The speed at which they registered their marriage was faster than the speed at which they went to the bank to apply for a card. In the morning, she was still single, but in the afternoon, she became a wife. It was not even three o’clock when they left the Civil Affairs Bureau. Lu An had to take a flight back to Hong Kong at around five o’clock in the afternoon.
During the two-hour break, Lu An drove Jin Nian to a private restaurant. He had not eaten yet, so he asked her to accompany him. Jin Nian spoke without thinking: “I’m having a farewell meal with you, right?”
Lu An reached out and pinched her cheek, “If you say something bad again, I’ll throw you out.”
Jin Nian spat, “Yes, yes, yes. You can’t say that. It doesn’t sound good.”
Lu An smiled. He felt that she was quite cute when she was mumbling. Only Jin Nian dared to say strange and irrelevant things in front of Lu An. Moreover, she had never realized that Lu An treated her differently.
This was not the first time Lu An had brought Jin Nian to this private restaurant. There was no plaque at the entrance of this private restaurant, and the decoration of the restaurant was also ordinary. It was like a warm little home in a busy city. The dining tables were in the rooms, and there were no dining tables in the hall. “So it’s here!” Jin Nian exclaimed when she got out of the car. “Oh my god, they are still in business after so many years!”
Lu An stopped the car and asked Jin Nian,”You didn’t come back after that?”
“Of course not! I’ll starve for half a month if I eat here. I used to say some bold words when I was in school,” Jin Nian muttered softly. “I said that I would come here every day to cat after I became a rich woman. Now, it seemed that becoming an old woman was more realistic than becoming a rich woman. After all, so many years have passed, I’ve only gotten older.”
Lu An did not reply. He strode straight into the dining room. During this period, he even took out his phone and fiddled with it a few times. It was unknown what information he was processing.
A minute later, Jin Nian suddenly heard a cold mechanical female voice, “500,000 Yuan has been transferred to my account.” Jin Nian was puzzled, she did not know where the voice came from. However, she quickly realized that the voice came from her phone. She took out her phone in surprise and realized that Lu An had indeed transferred her money a minute ago.
She looked at the number on the screen and could not help but gulp, “Lu An, why did you transfer so much money to me?!”
“Living expenses.”
Jin Nian’s lackey attitude revealed her true nature. She stood where she was and carefully counted the zeros behind the string of numbers: “Lu An, I’ve never seen so much money in my life.” She was crying in her heart, it was finally her turn to become rich
“Good for you.”
She would not be shy and say something like ‘I don’t want your money’. Instead, she smiled and asked Lu An: “Will you give me living expenses every month?”
Lu An laughed at her money-grubber, “That depends on your performance. I’ll have to be satisfied.”
“Really? Then tell me quickly, how can I satisfy you?”
He curled his lips, “It’s simple. Be an obedient wife.”
“What do you mean by obedient? Tell me, and I’ll definitely do it!”
Lu An stopped in his tracks and told her seriously: “Don’t be like Xie He, who wants a divorce at the drop of a hat.”
Jin Nian grinned and patted her chest confidently, “Don’t worry! Definitely not!”
Lu An had already ordered the dishes before they came, so when they arrived, the dishes were already ready and served on the table. Jin Nian said that she was not hungry at all, but when she smelled the fragrant dishes, she could not help but reach out to pick them up. In the end, she ate more than Lu An.
When he was settling the bill, he met the lady boss at the front desk. It had been a few years since he last saw her, but she was still as valiant as before. Her short hair was neat, and there were no traces of age on her face. The lady boss had a good memory and said warmly: “Yo! How long has it been since I last saw the two of you together!”
In the past few years, when Lu An returned to the country, he would occasionally come over, but Jin Nian had not come over since high school. The lady boss used to praise Jin Nian’s lovable appearance. She held her hand affectionately and looked around: “After a few years, you’ve become even more beautiful than before! You two have such a good relationship. Are you married?”
The lady boss had always misunderstood that the two of them were a couple, and Jin Nian had to explain it every time. Hearing this, Jin Nian subconsciously retorted: “We’re not…”
Lu An interrupted her, “We’re married.”
The lady boss seemed to be happier than the person involved. She smiled and said: “At that time, I thought that the two of you were compatible.. It seems that I have a good eye!”
