Seeing Gu Nian's figure simply walking away, Lawyer Qin dared to stand up.
But he walked straight to the booth behind him and bowed slightly to the man sitting with his back to them.
"Mr. Shi, the things you asked have been taken care of, and Miss Gu has signed the contract agreement."
"Yeah, I heard that."
The man in the booth is the real protagonist of this blind date——
Shi Ye.
And he actually arrived half an hour earlier than Gu Nian.
The moment he saw Gu Nian, he stood up and quietly sat on the booth behind Gu Nian, silently listening to everything that was about to happen behind him.
At the same time, Shi Ye was also confirming whether he really wanted to enter into a marriage with this strange woman.
It wasn't until he was sure of his feelings that Shi Ye let Qin Feng come in and complete all the blind date work on his behalf.
After listening to Qin Feng's report, Shi Ye picked up the latte in front of him, blew on it, and slowly tasted the aroma of the coffee.
His profile is strong, his nose is high, and he has a good temperament under his suit and leather shoes. Even when he is sitting, you can be deeply attracted by his long legs, but he always lowers his eyes and does not raise his eyes to look at anyone. But from the corner of his eye, he could feel the pressure from those cold eyes.
It even felt like the air-conditioning on his body was about to overwhelm the air conditioner in the cafe.
It’s daunting.
"It seems that I look more like her in person than in the photo."
Shi Ye put down the coffee in his hand. It wasn't until he knew from the corner of his eye that Gu Nian's figure was about to disappear outside the glass window that Shi Ye raised his eyes to look in the direction she was leaving and said silently in his heart.
***
Out the door of the cafe.
Gu Nian had no time to think about the fact that she was getting married tomorrow, so she just rushed to school like the wind.
Just now, she received a call from the dormitory aunt.
"Gu Nian, where are you? Come back quickly. The school will renovate all the dormitories starting today. I can't help you cover anymore. Please take your luggage away quickly."
Aunt Yang, the school's dormitory supervisor, has always treated Gu Nian well.
For seven years, Gu Nian had to study and work part-time.
She often waits at the door of the dormitory before dawn, waiting for Aunt Yang to get up and open the door. She returns to the dormitory after dark. Sometimes Aunt Yang has fallen asleep and has to get up again to open the door for Gu Nian.
At first, Aunt Yang kept nagging, blaming Gu Nian for always not following the school curfew regulations, but in fact she was blaming Gu Nian for always disturbing her dreams.
Gu Nian is also very knowledgeable. She has a part-time job as a baker's assistant, so she often brings some bread that the store can't sell out to give to Aunt Yang for breakfast.
Those who take people have short hands and eat people with soft mouths.
If things go on like this, Aunt Yang will no longer be able to blame Gu Nian. Instead, she will take the initiative to leave the door open for Gu Nian. Sometimes she will also care about Gu Nian, worrying that it will be unsafe for her girls to come back so late.
After graduation, Gu Nian had no job and no money. In order to save money, she had to ask Aunt Yang for help and asked her to allow her to stay in the dormitory longer.
But today, there is really no other way.
When Gu Nian returned to the dormitory, the whole building was in a mess, and all the old beds were torn to pieces.
"Aunt Yang, do you think this is okay? I'm going to have to work part-time in a while, and I definitely won't have time to find a house today. I'll leave my luggage with you for the time being, and I'll pick it up when I find a place to live."
Aunt Yang sighed and nodded helplessly in agreement.
But I was thinking in my heart, this poor child is always trying to show off his talents, and he doesn't have much money, so where can he find a place to live in the future.
Gu Nian entrusted her luggage and rushed to work part-time again, starting a new day's work routine.
By the time she got off work, she was exhausted and dragged her heavy steps to school.
As soon as she stepped through the school gate, she realized that she could no longer live in the student dormitory.
Her exhausted body weighed a thousand pounds, and she wished she could just lie down on the ground and fall asleep. So, she found a cheap hotel near the school and stayed there.
She was so tired that she closed her eyes, too tired to even dream.
And mobile phones...
He also slumped beside her and forgot to charge.
The next day.
The sun shines on Gu Nian through the window, and a sparrow stops on the window of the room and chirps, waking her up.
Gu Nian rubbed his eyes and stretched. This time... he slept too deeply.
She held her phone to check the time, but found that the phone had long been out of power, so she lazily touched the charging cable. The moment she plugged it in, a text message reminder appeared in front of Gu Nian's eyes.
[Ms. Gu: I have two important meetings in the morning. At nine o'clock today, Civil Affairs Bureau, please do not delay. ——Shi Ye. 】
Gu Nian tilted his head and thought: Shi Ye... who is it? Civil Affairs Bureau...what the hell is that?
Civil Affairs Bureau!
Gu Nian's head was pounding.
"Oh my god! I should go get the marriage license today, but it's already eight forty, and it's too late!"
Gu Nian frantically put on her clothes and quickly put on a bun. She didn't even bother to put on makeup. She simply washed her face and rushed to the Yuncheng Civil Affairs Bureau without a face.
***
At the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, a black Maybach was on the side of the road, surrounded by air-conditioning.
Shi Ye's slender fingers were tapping on his legs, and assistant Xiao Mo secretly observed Shi Ye's emotions through the rearview mirror.
With an expressionless face and sharp eyes, Shi Ye glanced at his watch with his cold eyes.
8:58.
But Gu Nian didn't even show up.
Xiao Mo swallowed his saliva and thought in his mind: "It's over! This woman couldn't have taken the 100,000 yuan given to her yesterday and ran away. Mr. Shi hates people who are not punctual and untrustworthy. It's over! Girl , show up quickly!"
Because everyone knows that those who touch Shi Ye's principles will never end well in the end.
Just when Xiao Mo was still sweating for Gu Nian...
The car window where Shi Ye was sitting was knocked several times.
Outside the car, I saw a red-faced girl holding on to the car and standing next to the car, breathing heavily.
Shi Ye slowly pressed down the car window and looked coldly at the girl outside the car.
"Yes...I'm sorry, are you...Shi Ye, Mr. Shi?" the girl asked out of breath.
Obviously, the sweat on her forehead betrayed the image of her running all the way.
Shi Ye glanced at his watch. It was exactly nine o'clock at the moment.
The corners of his mouth opened slightly and he spat out a few harsh words.
"You are on time, let's get the certificate!"
Shi Ye opened the door and got out of the car.
A tall and slender figure, paired with a strong black high-end suit, and a perfect height of 186 centimeters, stood in front of Gu Nian.
Gu Nian's height was just over Shi Ye's shoulders.
Shi Ye lowered his head. His cold eyes were like needles piercing Gu Nian's head. Gu Nian didn't dare to raise his head to look at him.
The pressure coming towards her made Gu Nian take a breath.
Shi Ye's body exuded a faint smell of perfume, but Gu Nian did not dare to breathe hard at this moment.
"Is this...really my 'husband' for the next year? Why do I feel like he is going to eat me every minute?"
...
"Is it too late to regret now?"
