Lu Yanchen leaned back against his pillow and remarked lazily, “If you were to get married, you naturally can’t get married again. Remarriage is against the law.”

Chu Mubei’s eyes lit up for a moment before turning dark once more, looking disdainful. “Forget it! I completely have no plans of getting married right now.”

“It’s not like I’m asking you to get married for real. For show, get it?”

A voice rang out from outside the ward, and instinctively, the two of them cast their glances over. Lu Yanchen narrowed his gaze before closing his eyes. “After going out, help me to lock the door. I’m going to sleep now.”

Chu Mubei said nothing more and walked out, locking it along his way. Right outside, he bumped into a girl picking up fruits. Every single bit of color from his face drained away into a cold indifference as his dim eyes stared at this girl coldly.

After the girl picked up the fruits, she stood up and chuckled at Chu Mubei awkwardly, “Hello, Young Master Chu!”

“It’s you.” A missy of the Wang Family—Wang Caichun, was it?

He had bumped into her a couple of times prior at the banquet, but they did not have much interaction together.

Wang Caichun smiled. “I’m here to visit Shi Guang.”

Chu Mubei replied calmly, “She’s already discharged.”

Instantly, Wang Caichun’s expression was downcast. “Huh? Discharged? Seems like I came for nothing.” She then raised her brows. “Not really for nothing either.”

Following that, she smiled at Chu Mubei with a beam that was radiant just like flowers blossoming in spring resolutely.

Chu Mubei’s gaze lingered on her face for a split second before moving away nonchalantly. He marched ahead while quipping, “Little Sister Wang, where are you headed to? I’ll send you there!”

Wang Caichun was elated and rushed up with her fruit basket. “For real? You sending me?”

He smirked out devilishly. “Of course! You’re a friend of Little Sister Shi Guang. That naturally makes you my friend.”

Wang Caichun’s eyes flashed with an odd knowing smile as she bit on her finger before following Chu Mubei along. Sitting at the back of the car, she smiled faintly to him. “Don’t leave first! Can I talk to you about something?”

Chu Mubei stopped whatever he was doing and looked as though he was all ears.

Coughing gently a couple of times, Wang Caichun heaved in a deep breath of air before saying softly, “You don’t wish to get married, and neither do I. Shall we have a fake marriage?”

Her suggestion had Chu Mubei narrowing his gaze, thinking that he might have misheard her.

Wang Caichun’s face looked as though she was giving it her all right now as she raised her volume slightly. “When I was outside earlier on, I accidentally heard your conversation at the back. I know that you’re being forced into a marriage by your family, and recently, my father’s been doing the same to me, forcing me to marry a man I don’t know. Since I don’t want to get married now either, that’s why I’m suggesting for us to get a fake marriage.”

Chu Mubei said nothing, merely looking at her calmly.

Wang Caichun was extremely embarrassed right now. At the end of the day, she WAS a girl after all. The act of suggesting a marriage was embarrassing enough for her.

Her entire heart was pitter pattering.

God knew how much courage she had to muster up to speak to him about marriage.

Could he stop pretending to be silent and say something at least?

Just as Wang Caichun thought that the atmosphere was going to continue being this tense, Chu Mubei spoke, “Getting into a fake marriage with me won’t benefit your family. That’s because my father looks down on your family!”

The foundation and businesses of the Wangs were way inferior compared to the Chus.

Wang Caichun harrumphed coldly, “Who wants any benefits from your family! My dad’s the one who wouldn’t be willing for me to get married to you! After all, your family relationships are all so complicated! The only reason for us to get married is to help each other tide through this trial, and we’ll get divorced the moment we meet someone we want!”
