My Groom Ran Away Chapter 8.2

“Ruan Zhiyin, even though Lin Cheng holds most of the power, you still do not want to let go of the Ruan Company this easily, right?”

His gaze was penetrating, as though he could see through all her thoughts. Ruan Zhiyin took a deep breath and asked, “So?”

“Look at this contract. If you think there’s a problem in any of the clauses, you can call a lawyer over.”

Cheng Yuelin slowly bowed out a document from a safe and pushed it in front of her.

Seeing him finally reveal his intention, Ruan Zhiyin took the document and opened it. It was a special marriage contract.

After reading in silence for a moment, her slender eyebrows furrowed together. She raised her gaze and asked, “We even need to get the certificate?”

All the other parts of the contract were considered normal. For example, for the duration of the marriage, both parties need to hide the existence of the contract. They could also not maliciously affect the stock prices as well.

But the part about requiring both parties to obtain their marriage certificate was a bit difficult for Ruan Zhiyin to accept. This was because she had never considered that this short-term marriage would require obtaining their marriage certificates.

Even for her and Qin Jue, because of Mother Qin’s premarital agreement requests, they had not obtained their certificates.

Cheng Yuelin saw her reluctance and raised his eyebrows. He then provided a reasonable reason. “Right now, there are many who know that I have become your husband. This condition can effectively protect my legal rights.”

“What legal rights?”

Please, it was just a fake marriage. As long as they clearly defined their premarital assets, what other issues could there be?

Cheng Yuelin stared at her and his eyes were intriguing. “For example, if you one day cheat on me. I can then get considerable monetary compensation.”

Ruan Zhiyin choked slightly and lowered her voice and said,

“You do not have to worry. I won’t.”

Even if it was a fake marriage, she was the one who proposed this deal. Cheng Yuelin already helped her hide the truth from her grandfather. She will also not do anything disrespectful to Cheng Yuelin.

When Cheng Yuelin heard her words, his expression said he did not believe it. “Words mean nothing. The certificate is practical”

After being clearly doubted by him, Ruan Zhiyin almost found the situation laughable. She could not help but retort.

“You are not afraid that it would be you who would make a mistake first. Then, when it is time for a divorce, you will lose a large chunk of your assets to me?"

Cheng Yuelin did not get angry and only indifferently and silently looked at her. His eyes appeared to be saying, ‘For someone with genes as excellent as mine. What kind of woman would be able to sway me?’

Ruan Zhiyin: “...”

She sighed and rested her chin on her palm. She decided to move past the matter of obtaining their marriage certificates and continued reading. “Then what do you mean by this condition for living together?"

“Simply what it says on the paper.” Cheng Yuelin carelessly brushed some dust off his jacket. Then he continued, “You suddenly proposed to me. Yesterday, to pacify the directors, I promised that this marriage will not affect the company’s stock prices. So during this marriage, you need to play the part of a loving husband and wife with me."

And for a pair of loving husband and wife, they could not live separately.

To this end, the condition seemed to be very reasonable.

Ruan Zhiyin was logically convinced by his reasons, but emotionally she was not that happy.

She paused for a moment, and then she looked at him. “Since you knew that Lin Heng’s directors would be against it, you could have refused it. I did not...” only have you as a choice.

There was no option. The last part of the sentence could not be said.

She could not be as shameless as Cheng Yuelin, and he had already helped her finish everything. If she was to say this now, then it would be as though she was destroying her bridges after she crossed.

“Heh, not just me? Ruan Zhiyin, I did not know you had other spares?” Cheng Yuelin’s eyes seemed to shift slightly, as though he had grasped some evidence. He coldly sneered and questioned.

“If it is like this, you still dare to say you would not make a mistake first? Then I will definitely have much more of a need to go through the legal proceedings to guarantee my ‘legal rights’.”

Ruan Zhiyin was speechless and she thought deeply for a while.

Other than obtaining the certificates and living together, this contract did not have any ridiculous requests. The one-year divorce date was very clear, and she had even gotten the cooperation on the Bei Cheng project for free.

"Okay, I will sign it."

The pen was placed next to her. In a moment, the prepared blank spaces in the contracts had been signed by both parties.

Cheng Yuelin glanced over the contracts and handed one of them to Ruan Zhiyin before he got up and picked up his coat hanging on the hanging. Then he quietly said, “Let’s go."

Ruan Zhiyin was puzzled: "Where?"

Cheng Yuelin smiled back and concisely said—

“Civil Affairs Bureau. Marriage certificate.”

Ruan Zhiyin: “...”

So the reason he had reminded her to bring her ID and household registration booklet when she came down was just for this?

She can’t believe she even felt sorry for wronging him when they were at the family home.

He had really planned everything. From that phone call in the morning, he had already planned to guilt-trip her into compromising on the agreement!

///

When she finally returned to her apartment, it was already seven o’clock.

Ruan Zhiyin had already been exhausted by waiting in line at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Her mood was frustrated as she entered her password and opened the door.

After she took off her shoes, she stood up and walked inside. Before she took a few steps, her body froze—

She realized that the living room light was on.

A familiar figure was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

That person slowly turned around, revealing a familiar gentle and solemn face. Then, the familiar clean and clear voice spoke, but with a degree of coldness she had never heard before—

“Zhiyin, do you not need to explain why Cheng Yuelin is sending you home?"
