Chapter 29


    After a moment of hesitation, as if she had been through a bloody struggle with herself, she lowered


    her head and solemnly put down her signature.


    This simple procedure changed their rtionship tremendously.


    They went from slightly above strangers to bing a couple who slept together.


    It was 8:30 am when they left the Civil Registry Office.


    The salt grain-like snow had turned into kes, covering the ground in white.


    Cold air rushed into her nostrils as she took a deep breath. She could not help shivering.


    The temperature had dropped so low overnight.


    But the thought of her going from being single to married overnight made the changes in weather seem


    to be not much of a surprise.


    Many things could change overnight.


    While her mind ran wild, Mark was walking out of the Civil Registry Office with two staff members. They


    followed him from behind and were very respectful when they spoke to him.


    Mark opened the car door and motioned for her to get i


    n.


    She still could not get used to their rtionship, and s o she looked awkward. She pretended to look at


    the time and then made excuses. "It is half-past eight. I have to rush to school. I know you must be


    very busy too. I will just take a taxi."Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    "Get in the car," he snapped, frowning, as if he had not heard her.


    More people had arrived. Envy eyes were on Mark as people whispered among themselves.


    Mark was undoubtedly the most eye-catching person everywhere he went.


    Summer thought of her appearance and became self-conscious. She had not washed her face yet and


    was too embarrassed to keep standing here. So she bent over and flew into the back seat.


    Just then, his deep voice came. "Sit in the front. I am not your chauffeur, mind you."


    She gritted her teeth. ''What is wrong with this guy that he wants to dictate where I should sit?’


    But she gave in.


    The car drove forward, smooth like a magic carpet. Mark looked over at her. "I have an important


    meeting in the afternoon. Go home and pack your belongings, and the secretary will fetch you over."


    She flustered, spontaneously shaking her head. "My parents haven''t known about it yet. Let me tell


    them


    first, and then I will move in." 2


    Things happened too suddenly that she was not mentally prepared for it.


    Thinking of having to live with him from now on, she was diposed again.


    He looked at her for a few seconds, turned the steering wheel to the left to make a turn. His eyebrows


    were knitted together. "Neither have I told my parents. Make time these few days. We will go to your


    side first, then mine. It is better to let me do the talking."


    She couldn''t agree more.


    He stopped the car outside the school. "My secretary will wait for you in front of your apartment in the


    afternoon."


    "Can''t I move in two more days?"


    "Why?"


    "I have not prepared for it yet." She was truthful.


    He looked at her for a while, and then his eyes narrowed. "What kind of preparation-mentally or


    physically?”


    What the heck? Summer red at him, her heart thumping. "Of course, mentally!"


    "So that means you are physically prepared." He was ying with her words in a matter-of-fact way.


    She felt heat spreading on her face. She gritted her teeth. "You are trapping me with words!"
