Chapter 11: Getting the Marriage Certificate

"You agree to something so absurd?" Even Leng Pan who was aware of his love for her was shocked.

Marriage wasn't a joke. Once they registered their marriage, it would be for life.

"Are you sure about that? Don't make an impulsive decision." She advised, but she didn't know that Lu Zhen couldn't wait to get that small red book.

It was the only way to guarantee that Leng Pan was his and no one could challenge his position, so he was willing to go register their marriage at that moment.

In fact, he was in such a hurry because he was afraid that Leng Pan would change her mind.

So, he had to ensure that their marriage was registered today.

"I am not being impulsive. In fact, if I wasn't afraid of scaring you I would have proposed marriage a long time ago." He explained as he got up and pushed aside a painting on the wall. It revealed a safe.

He input the password without even caring that Leng Pan could see it and took his household registration from inside. His ID was in his wallet.

After getting what he needed to get married, he walked to Leng Pan and asked her to leave together.

"Where are your ID and household registration?" He asked again since Leng Pan had not replied to the first question.

"I have them with me. I was sorting out my parents' things in the study and put them in my bag to put in the apartment after it's done renovation." She finally explained.

"That's good. Let's go, we won't have to wait in the queue." Lu Zhen said as he made a call to a director in the civil affairs bureau as they entered the CEO'S exclusive elevator.

By the time they got out of the elevator, everything was arranged, they just had to show up at the bureau and their marriage would be registered immediately.

Lu Zhen didn't even bother to call his driver and drove his car to the bureau himself.

They got there in twenty minutes since the office was in the city center, a short distance from the Lu Group.

They were in the bureau office for twenty minutes before walking out holding red marriage certificates.

Lu Zhen could not believe that he was now the husband of the woman he loved.

He didn't care why she wanted to get married out of nowhere. He was just happy he could call her his wife.

"I have to go somewhere. Remember to get the weapons I asked for. Also, you should get your family here soon." Leng Pan felt that she had wasted two precious hours.

But looking at the marriage certificate in her hand, she felt it was worth it.

Lu Zhen no longer asked Leng Pan any questions about why she said something.

He just agreed to whatever she said. He decided to get his mother and brother to come to the city the next day.

They could also take this opportunity to celebrate his marriage.

His family knew about his feelings for Leng Pan. They had tried to talk him into going on dates with other girls because they saw no hope in Leng Pan as she always ignored him, but he was adamant about being faithful to his feelings.

He was glad it had paid off.

"When you get home, the password is your birthday." Lu Zhen said.

"Huh! When did the password change?" Leng Pan was surprised that the password of the villa had suddenly changed.

"The password to my villa and apartment. It is your birthday." He explained.

"Oh, I'll go to my parents' villa tonight." It was obvious that she still didn't understand what Lu Zhen meant.

Lu Zhen looked at the clueless Leng Pan and felt helpless. She suggested getting married, but didn't seem to understand the meaning of marriage.

He could only spell everything out.

"We are a married couple now. So, we'll be living together."

Only then did Leng Pan come back to her senses. When she suggested getting married, all she thought about was having a legal relationship with him after the apocalypse. She never thought about what would happen before the apocalypse arrived.

She had forgotten that married couples lived together and even slept on the same bed.

Thinking of sleeping on the same bed with Lu Zhen, her face turned red.

She may be a civilized modern woman from the real world, but she had never been in a relationship, let alone sleep on the same bed with a man.

But since she had made the decision, she wasn't going to shirk her responsibility.

She hadn't been in this world for long, but she already had feelings for Lu Zhen.

She wasn't against the idea of living together as husband and wife with him.

Lu Zhen looked at the woman whose face had turned red from shyness and smirked. He didn't want to push her too hard because he could tell that she had suggested getting married out of impulse.

But he didn't want to compromise on this. Once he compromised, he would have no bottom line and would probably never hold her like he always dreamt.

He couldn't agree to live separately from her as their relationship wouldn't have a chance to grow and become closer.

He wanted her to be the last thing he saw when he went to bed, and the first thing he saw when he woke up for the rest of his life.

"Okay, I'll get home at seven in the evening." She still had to go to her villa to collect the supplies she had bought and check the water tanks.

"Give me a ride back to your company. My car is there." Leng Pan said as she got into her new husband's car.

They went back to the company and Leng Pan got out of the car outside the front door of the company.

The employees who were coming back from lunch were shocked to see a woman getting out of the CEO'S car.

This was the first time they had seen such a scene.

Some people recognized Leng Pan as the woman the CEO had personally picked up at the lobby that afternoon.

"Don't forget what I told you. Get your family to come over. They can live in your apartment once it's done, and we can live in mine." Leng Pan reminded Lu Zhen as she got out of the car.

She didn't want him to lose his family like he did in the novel.

When the apocalypse started, his mother and younger brother were in another city and were killed in the first few days.

She didn't want him to experience that pain again.
