Novel Full Chapter 28 - Married
"Grandma, don't accuse her!"
Lan Yanran felt the injustice and stood up for his sister. How can a virtuous person like his sister be wronged?
"Rascal! Shut up! This has nothing to do with you. Your studies are horrible and yet you're able to retort so quickly? You're an embarrassment!" Zhao Xiumei scolded unceremoniously.
This country girl sure could act!
Watching Lan Anran's performance, Lan Yaxin felt extremely frustrated and she pretended to be a peacemaker.
"Grandma, don't be angry. It might be a misunderstanding and she didn't do it deliberately."
"Lan Tingyun! Aren't you listening to me? We can't embarrass the Lan Family. Lan Anran, if the Mo Family learns about your affair with the butler, I'll rip your skin apart!"
Just then, an elegant voice came from outside, "What can't the Mo Family know?"
Mo Jinrong strode in.
"Master Rong, why are you here?"
Lan Tingyun hurriedly came forward to greet him.
When Zhao Xiumei heard that it was Mo Jinrong, she smiled, and her face crinkled.
"Mr. Mo is here?"
Mo San sat directly on the chair, it seemed like he was looking for trouble.
"Didn't we arrange to get the marriage licence today? Miss Lan, you can tell us if you aren't willing."
"No, why would she be unwilling!?"
Zhao Xiumei couldn't allow her to refuse the wedding. She looked at Mo Jinrong's hideous appearance and was worried Yaxin would end up bearing the consequences if the marriage was refused.
She turned to look at Lan Anran, her gaze heavy with threat, warning her to behave.
"Our Master Rong… I don't wait for anyone. Miss Lan was extremely arrogant today."
Mo San almost slipped, but fortunately, he reacted swiftly and pretended to be displeased.
"I'm sorry, I was caught up with something."
Lan Anran smiled.
"What's more important than getting the marriage licence?" Mo San's small eyes glanced towards Zhao Xiumei, as he asked domineeringly.
Marriage licence?
Zhao Xiumei and Lan Yaxin were both startled.
"It's nothing, since you have something going on, I'll make my leave."
She had wanted to give her a scolding. That insolent girl didn't tell her she had such an important thing to do today! She looked at Mo Jinrong's face and decided that it was better that he hadn't made his appearance public: it would save the Lan Family from embarrassment!
Zhao Xiumei stood up and Lan Tingyun hurried over to help her.
"Mom, slow down and don't talk about such things again," Lan Tingyun reminded her softly.
Zhao Xiumei was still unconvinced. She looked at the butler, who was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament. He didn't look like a butler at all, but seemed more like the young master.
But knowing that he was Lan Anran's lover, she didn't like him at all.
"Hmph! Don't let me catch you…"
Zhao Xiumei huffed.
After sending off Old Mrs. Lan, Lan Tingyun hurriedly came over to apologise.
"Mr. Mo, I'm sorry, Anran didn't mean it."
"It's alright. I won't have much time after today, so let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau now."
Mo San stood up from his chair aggressively and strode out.
Lan Anran was curious whether she would be marrying Mo Jinrong or Mo San and what excuse he would give…
After the three of them left, Lan Yanran lowered his head and asked softly, "Mom, Dad, is Sis really going to marry that hideous monster?"
Lan Tingyun looked anguished.
"Your sister is very sensible as she didn't make things difficult for me and your mom. I've let down my good daughter!"
The thought made Li Yueru tear up and the whole family was in low spirits.
...
When the three of them arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Mo San became worried and he eyed Mo Jinrong. Was he really going to marry Miss Lan? Would Master Rong kill him?
"Miss Lan, Master Rong's identity can't be exposed, let me register the marriage on his behalf," Mo Jinrong said.
He would be replacing himself?
Lan Anran almost burst into laughter, she didn't expect such an excuse.
"You said that it isn't convenient to make the marriage public… Is that because Master Rong has some embarrassing illness which makes a marriage inconvenient?" Lan Anran asked deliberately.
"Nonsense! Master Rong…. I'm in good health, what health issues could I have?"
Mo San didn't know if he was referring to himself or Mo Jinrong, but he was infuriated by the way Lan Anran was looking at him.
"Alright, then I'll get the marriage licence with Butler Mo."
Lan Anran wanted to touch Mo Jinrong, but was suddenly reminded of his condition and decided against it.
She didn't want a joyous occasion to be ruined.
Mo San was shocked… She accepted it just like that?
Ordinary people would oppose or reject the idea, but she really wasn't an ordinary person.
This was nothing to Lan Anran. All she needed was the identity as the Mo Family's young lady, so she just needed to marry someone from the Mo Family.
The registration was quick. After Mo Jinrong obtained the marriage licence, he tossed it to Mo San without a single glance.
Lan Anran was just about to take a look when Mo Jinrong snatched it over and tossed it to Mo San. He couldn't let her see the name on the marriage licence!
"The Mo Family will take care of the marriage licence."
Mo Jinrong took large strides forward without turning back.
"Hubby, where are you going?" Lan Anran chased after him and called out coquettishly.
"Cough, cough! Young Master Mo is your husband, I'm just the butler. Let me remind you, please behave yourself in public," Mo Jinrong placed his hand on his nose and said awkwardly.
Mo San was dumbfounded. Is this how Lan Anran really was?
"Cough, cough! Miss Lan, even though we are married, you should pay attention to your identity, your words and actions, and prioritize what's important.. I'll let this go for today," he said after coming back to his senses.
