In the coffee shop elegantly decorated with warmth, near a window.
Jiang Nanqing is casually sipping her cup of coffee.
Her gaze slowly falls on the man in front of her. After a brief appraisal, she can't help but wonder, "Is it really so difficult for men to get married these days? Such a handsome face has to resort to blind dates?"
The man in front of her possesses a remarkably attractive face, with a pair of slender phoenix eyes that are deep and mesmerizing. Yet, they carry a hint of inscrutable coldness. A slight lift at the tail of his eyes makes him look seductively charming.
Wearing only a simple white shirt and trousers, his broad-shouldered slim figure perfectly stands out. Coupled with his naturally extravagant temperament...he looks just like a young master from a prestigious family!
Had she not known about his 'ordinary' background prior to their meeting, Jiang Nanqing would have been fooled by his appearance.
Collecting herself and packing away her thoughts, she cuts to the chase, "About my situation, we have already discussed it online. If there's no problem on your part, we can go and register our marriage later."
While saying this, her tone is as objective as discussing business matters, devoid of pomp and circumstance.
Although this is her first marriage, for Jiang Nanqing, this marriage is but a means to secure the inheritance rights of the Jiang family...
Originally, there was no need for Jiang Nanqing to go through all this trouble.
As the young miss of the Jiang family, she could have inherited the shares under her name smoothly once she turned eighteen.
But on the night of her coming-of-age ceremony, her stepmother Lu Fengjiao and stepsister Jiang Yutong, calculated her into pre-marital pregnancy through despicable means.
With threats and intimidation, she lost her inheritance!
Jiang Nanqing thought she had lost all chances of turnaround in this life, but she never expected her mentally disturbed biological mother to have left a trump card.
As long as she gets married, she could inherit twenty-five percent of the shares under her mother's name!
After getting their marriage certificate, it takes effect immediately!
During this period of time, Lu Fengjiao and her daughter had put a lot of thought into this, which is why Jiang Nanqin was forced to hurriedly find someone for a blind date and to get married!
When it comes to a marriage partner, she didn't have many requirements, just someone who was obedient and easy to handle would do!
But the current situation is better than she had imagined.
This man is quite a feast for the eyes!
Everyone loves beautiful things, and Jiang Nanqin was no exception.
Her frustrated mood improved slightly because of this.
While she was pondering, the man opposite her raised an eyebrow, a playful emotion flashed across his seemingly affectionate, yet actually cold and distant eyes.
Bo Xiuyan was almost certain, the woman in front of him had mistaken her blind date's identity.
The person his stepmother, Yuan Shuang, pushed his way was an illegitimate daughter from a minor family, looking exceptionally ordinary.
But this woman, whether it's her appearance or temperament, completely surpasses the other, they were not on the same level.
Bo Xiuyan found it interesting.
Yuan Shuang hoped to restrain him with a marriage, her scheme was clear.
But if she knew that her plan had gone awry, he wondered what kind of expression she would have?
Wouldn't that be incredibly exciting?
A faint glimmer of coldness swept through the depths of Bo Xiuyan's eyes.
"I have no qualms as well. We can get married immediately."
His voice was deep and magnetic, tinged with a hint of chill.
"Alright, let's go then."
Jiang Nanqing was a firm believer in efficiency. Upon receiving the nod from the other party, she immediately set things in motion.
An hour later, outside the civil affairs bureau.
Clutching the freshly issued red certificate, Jiang Nanqing was momentarily stunned, a rare occurrence.
Transitioning from being single to being a married woman was a change that she was struggling to adapt to.
However, the man at her side seemed to fit into his newfound status excellently, “Please guide me in the future, Mrs. Bo! Where should we head next? Should we celebrate our first day of marriage, perhaps a candlelit dinner? I've heard that you ladies place a lot of importance on such ceremonial senses.”
The address of ‘Mrs. Bo’ left Jiang Nanqing flabbergasted. It took her quite a while before she regained her composure, with a look of unfamiliarity sketching on her exquisite face.
She said, "You can just call me Nanqing, no need to call me Mrs. Bo, it feels… unfamiliar. As for the candlelight dinner, if you'd like, I can arrange it. However, let's first discuss how we should interact after marriage. After all, we are not exactly familiar with each other... To avoid any family disputes in the future, it would be necessary to establish our expectations."
Bo Xiuyan raised his eyebrows slightly, finding these words quite novel.
Married couples that are not familiar with each other...
It was an argument he couldn't refute!
After all, they had only met for the first time today.
However, Bo Xiuyan didn't agree immediately. Instead, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Go on."
Jiang Nanqing wasn't too surprised by his reaction.
This man appeared aloof and noble, emanating an indefinable sense of distance.
He didn't seem easy to get along with.
Jiang Nanqing didn't beat around the bush, and detailed her conditions.
"After we get married, considering that we have no emotional foundation, we don't have to perform marital duties! However, we still have to adhere to the moral bottom line! You can't be flirting around, and I will be a good wife, practicing my due virtues."
"You can move your things home later, I've had a guest room prepared for you. Since we're married, there's no need to live separately."
"You work at a bar, your social circle is diverse, I hope you'll resign and stay home to take care of our child. Of course, I will give you a monthly stipend for living expenses and pocket money. There's a spare car in the garage, you can use it when you go out."
"As for lifestyle habits, I don't have any vices, I don't smoke or drink excessively. What about you...?"
At this point, she looked at Bo Xiuyan.
Bo Xiuyan didn't answer but squinted his attractive eyes.
The conditions she proposed about their marriage seem reasonable and agreeable to him. He had no objection.
But... was there something off just now?
Furrowing his brow, he dug the key point from Jiang Nanqing's words, "BDo you have children?"
This woman, does she expect him to 'play house'?
Was he being forced into living off a woman's money?
"Didn't I tell you about this, and you just forgot?"
Jiang Nanqing also frowned.
Before going on a blind date, she had confessed on the messaging app.
At that time, he also expressed no objections!
Bo Xiuyan, "......"
He really hadn't expected this.
Although he agreed to the marriage to upset Yuan Shuang's calculations,
he hadn't expected that Jiang Nanqing actually had a child!
Suddenly becoming a dad, Bo Xiuyan's mood was a bit subtle and complex.
But the certificate was already issued, it was too late to regret!
After a while, he could only accept it and said, "I indeed forgot, but I will remember in the future. How many children do you have? Boys or girls?"
Jiang Nanqing remembered that she had not mentioned this, so she eased her frown and answered, "Triplets, all boys. Their nicknames are Chengcheng, Nuonuo, and Yanyan!"
Bo Xiuyan, "......"
It's like getting three for the price of one!
