Chapter 21: Registration

Chun Ji couldn't let it go.

For some reason, when he looked at Jasmine, he found her even more alluring and aloof than she was five years ago. He was starting to grow tired of Xue Qin,

yet he had to keep up the pretense with her. Meanwhile,

Jasmine's presence in his heart seemed to be leaving an increasingly deeper mark.

Jasmine's eyes were filled with mockery.

It would be great if they got married.

These two despicable people would stop causing trouble for others.

"The day isn't auspicious," a glint of coldness flashed in the man's eyes. His voice was low and calm. "It's not suitable for them to get married."

Yingyao swallowed hard. "What do you think, Director?"

"Yes, yes... Young Master Chu is right," the middle - aged man didn't dare to oppose. After all, Yiqin Chu had spoken.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to stop me from getting married?" Xue Qin erupted, her eyebrows furrowed in anger. The once - delicate makeup on her face distorted. "Do we need to pick a special day to get married? Can the Civil Affairs Bureau really stop us from registering?"

"Chun - gege, let go of me! I'm going to get this straightened out today," she said.

She had specifically chosen this day. Every Qixi from now on would be their wedding anniversary.

How perfect!

"Young Master Chu, you can't just use your power to do whatever you want," she added.

"Xue Qin, stop talking. Young Master Chu, please forgive her for speaking without thinking. We can come back tomorrow. Let's go home," Chun Ji said. He didn't share a woman's sentimentality. What did it matter when they got registered?

"It does matter!"

Xue Qin was used to getting her way. Losing face in front of Jasmine was the last thing she could tolerate.

Jasmine looked at Yiqin Chu in surprise. She never thought he could tell such blatant lies with a straight face.

"Did you hear that? The day isn't good. You two should leave," Jasmine said, emboldened by Yiqin Chu's support.

Seeing Xue Qin's constipated expression,

she felt a sense of satisfaction.

"Sorry, Miss Qin. The Civil Affairs Bureau is closing early today," the middle - aged man said, wiping the non - existent sweat from his forehead.

He couldn't afford to offend anyone.

Chun Ji's face alternated between red and white as he held Xue Qin back.

"I wish you two happiness in advance,

Xue Qin. Thank you for taking in this scumbag, so he won't go around hurting others," Jasmine said, casually taking Yiqin Chu's arm. "Yiqin, let's go."

She put on a sweet expression and made an affectionate gesture.

Yiqin Chu glanced at the fair hand on his arm but didn't say anything.

"Jasmine, stop! Jasmine!" Xue Qin shouted, stamping her foot hard. "Bitch!"

She was going to go home and tell her father to teach this little slut a lesson!

She didn't know that Zhenguo Qin had almost been driven to a fit of rage by Jasmine.

"Sir, please," Yingyao said, opening the car door. The man stepped in with his long legs. Jasmine took a deep breath and sat down beside him.

She stole a glance at Yiqin Chu and asked tentatively, "Why did you stop them from getting married just now?"

She never expected Yiqin Chu to have the power to make the Civil Affairs Bureau close early.

But seeing the ugly expressions on Xue Qin and Chun Ji's faces, she was content.

"I don't want my wedding anniversary to be the same day as that kind of people's," he said.

The simple, cold statement struck a chord with Jasmine.

Her ears turned bright red.

Did he even know what he was saying?

They had a one - year agreement. A year from now, they would be divorced. How could there be a wedding anniversary?

Yet, for some reason, the temperature in the car seemed to rise, filled with a hint of ambiguity.

The man had features as beautiful as a painting, sharp and unforgettable. His eyes, like a hawk's, fixed on her. "What were you thinking just now?"
