Having been a dutiful daughter to her parents for over 20 years, she wants to make her own decisions about her marriage this time, rather than being forced by her parents to marry an old man like Wang Dahai.

The fact that her parents were able to accept Wang Dahai's 20,000 yuan deposit on their own shows that they had already made up their minds to sell her to Wang Dahai.

Who knows what terrible things they might do to force her to agree to the marriage?

Or perhaps they could continue introducing her to other men like Zhang Dahai or Li Dahai.

Seeing that she had agreed, Pei Yichen's face still didn't show much emotion, but his eyes softened a lot. He said softly, "Then let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau now."

Jiang Shutong nodded, "Okay."

Civil Affairs Bureau.

"You two move a little closer." The photographer looked at the gap between the two, which was almost wide enough for a car to pass through, and felt a little embarrassed.

Pei Yichen frowned and reluctantly moved to the left.

Jiang Shutong didn't hesitate and went straight to sit down next to Pei Yichen.

Their shoulders bumped together.

Having lived for nearly thirty years, this was the first time Pei Yichen had ever been this close to a woman.

His whole body was stiff, and his jawline was taut.

Jiang Shutong, on the other hand, was very relaxed. She sat up straight, with her hands naturally placed in front of her, and a natural smile on her lips.

The photographer frowned as he looked at Pei Yichen's tense face in the camera lens.

However, the man's aura was so powerful that he felt too much pressure and dared not say anything, so he could only try to finish the fight quickly.

"alright."

The photos were printed out quickly.

When Jiang Shutong saw Pei Yichen's gloomy face in the photo, as if he was owed millions, she found it inexplicably funny.

But the colder and more distant Pei Yichen was towards her, the more at ease she felt.

This shows that he didn't have any bad intentions towards her.

They are just like other couples who are under pressure from their families to get married and are eager to find someone to marry.

Holding her newly issued marriage certificate, Jiang Shutong introduced herself: "Mr. Pei, hello, my name is Jiang Shutong, please take care of me in the future!"

Pei Yichen nodded. "Yes, Miss Jiang, my name is Pei Yichen."

The two then exchanged WeChat contacts and phone numbers.

Pei Yichen saved her WeChat contact as "Mrs. Pei".

Jiang Shutong's contact name for him was his full name, "Pei Yichen".

The staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau were dumbfounded. The newlyweds were complete strangers to each other.

I've seen people get married in a flash, but I've never seen someone not even know their partner's name.

Young people these days are so willful.

Impulsiveness is the devil. Many people who get married in a flash end up back at the civil affairs bureau within three months.

They've seen it all before.

As Jiang Shutong walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau and looked at the marriage certificate in her hand, she still felt a little unreal. She had actually just casually registered her marriage with a strange man!

Just then, Pei Yichen's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was his father, Pei Zhengping.

He gestured to Jiang Shutong that he would take a call first.

As soon as the call connected, Pei's father's somewhat irritable voice came through, "You brat, where are you?"

"At the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Pei Zhengping was startled. He doubted his ears. "What were you doing at the Civil Affairs Bureau? The woman arrived at the restaurant on time and didn't see you at all!"

Pei Yichen looked at the woman's figure walking ahead and said, "I found a girl I liked at the restaurant and we went on a blind date and got our marriage certificate."

He arrived fifteen minutes early today, but his blind date hadn't arrived yet when he got to the restaurant.

So, by a twist of fate, I saw her.

Pei Zhengping felt as if he'd been struck by lightning, his face charred and cracked. "You, you're being ridiculous! All the blind dates I introduced you to were from wealthy families, perfectly matched with ours, and you, you just picked a complete stranger and got married!"

Pei Yichen said casually, "Aren't you guys always pressuring me to get married?"

We finally got married, but he's unhappy now.

Pei Zhengping felt he was going to be driven crazy by his son sooner or later. "The problem is, you know absolutely nothing about her. You don't know anything about her family background, her personality, or her character, and you just rashly married her! Let me tell you, our Pei family doesn't recognize this daughter-in-law!"

Pei Yichen leaned against the wall, one hand in his pocket, his tone icy, "Do I need to remind you? You married Fang Xinling without Grandpa's permission..."

"you--"

Pei Zhengping's rebuttal was stuck in his throat for a moment.

But can that be the same?

Fang Xinling gave birth to such a big son for him, he always wanted his son to be recognized by his ancestors!

"Here's what we'll do: I can give you a year. If after a year you still believe she's worthy of being the eldest daughter-in-law of the Pei family, then our Pei family will accept her as our daughter-in-law. The condition is that you cannot reveal your identity as the heir to the Boyu Group during this year."

"What if I disagree?"

Living as an ordinary person would be very inconvenient for him.

Pei Zhengping snorted heavily, "If you don't agree, then I'll step in and force her to divorce you!"

Pei Yichen knew this was something his father was capable of doing.

The man frowned even more at the thought of that scene, and had no choice but to agree.

Anyway, the woman didn't question him about his salary and savings in detail, so she probably didn't care about those things.

Pei Yichen put away his phone, took long strides, and chased after Jiang Shutong who was walking ahead of him. "Where do you live? I'll take you home."

"I live in the old town area."

Jiang Shutong couldn't help but ask him curiously, "Your family seems quite unhappy about your unauthorized marriage?"

Although she tried to avoid it, she could still vaguely hear that the person on the phone raised their voice a lot after hearing that he was getting married.

"It's okay, I can make my own decisions about getting married."

Pei Yichen walked to the black Rolls-Royce, opened the passenger door for her, and said, "Get in."

The Rolls-Royce emblem gleamed coldly under the blazing sun.

Jiang Shutong rubbed her eyes in shock. She stepped forward, pointed at the car, and stammered, "This, this is the legendary Rolls-Royce?"
