"Xiao Yu, let's get married!"
In the Starglow Bar, Du Anqian stood at the entrance and halted the man just descending from a luxurious car. Her voice was urgent but lacked the affection that suitors normally have.
Xiao Yu paused, looking at the woman standing in front of him with his gaze slightly downcast.
The woman was stunningly beautiful, a true rarity. From his perspective, he could clearly see her thick lashes and in her clear pupils, a reflection of himself was mirrored.
He slightly tilted his head, looking at the woman in front of him with interest, his cold lips curling up into a meaningful smile.
"Marriage? Are you sure?"
Du Anqian pressed her lips together slightly, nodding firmly, "I'm sure."
Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow, a hint of a chuckle in his deep eyes.
Du Anqian was strikingly beautiful and highly skilled in medicine. She was known as a "goddess in the human world". Most importantly, everyone in Luo City knew, she was his rival Gu Yichen's woman.
He didn't ask why she chose him, instead, under the woman's earnest gaze, he calmly said, "Miss Du, I, Xiao Yu, am a well-known playboy in Luo City. If you marry me, it couldn't possibly be solely a marriage in name only."
Du Anqian shuddered, seemingly unsure of how to respond.
Seeing her tightly pursed lips, Xiao Yu chuckled and turned to enter the bar.
He hadn't said a word, but the sarcasm was apparent.
Realizing that he was already walking into the bar, Du Anqian hurried after him without a moment to think.
As soon as he set foot in the bar, Xiao Yu was obstructed once again.
He halted his steps, looking at the fair hand clutching onto his sleeve, his eyes darkened. Before Du Anqian could react, the man's large hand enveloped her waist, entrapping her tightly in his arms.
In the next second, his cold lips accurately claimed hers, dominate and forceful.
Du Anqian was startled, her eyes widened in surprise.
Her hand was placed on his chest, subconsciously trying to push him away.
However, the man's grip only tightened, and his invasive actions became even more intense.
Soon, the oxygen in her lungs was gradually depleted.
She tried her utmost to resist, yet she was still forced into disarray by him.
After a long while, just when Du Anqian was almost suffocating, he finally released her.
Xiao Yu tightly held her around the waist, compelling her to lean against him, his attitude arrogant and unrestrained.
He gently caressed her slightly swollen lips with his fingertip, his dark eyes deep and inscrutable, making it impossible for anyone to peek into their depths.
His lips slightly curled up, his eyes were fixated on her lips in a trance, as though he isn't fully satisfied.
His hand around her waist tightened secretly, gazing into her eyes, he asked word by word.
"Has Gu Yichen ever kissed you like this?"
Du Anqian tried her best to normalize her breath, though she was pretty composed, her slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her emotions.
Before she could respond, the man’s lips descended once more.
Du Anqian felt her body give in, her eyes clouded with a thin mist, and only then did he let go of her.
"Did he kiss you like that?"
He seemed obsessed with the answer to that question.
Fearful that he would kiss her again, Du Anqian turned her crimson-cheeked face away. It was a good while before she managed to squeak out a word.
"...No."
The man's eyebrows raised, his steps turned, and he led her towards the exit.
Du Anqian felt a bit weak in the knees, unable to keep pace with him. In a sweet voice, she called out his name.
"Xiao Yu, slow down."
The man came to a halt, briskly sweeping her off her feet and into his arms. He voiced out two cold words.
"Spoiled."
Feeling the ground vanish from beneath her feet, Du Anqian let out a small cry and quickly wrapped her arms around his neck.
She hesitated, "You..."
Before she could say more, his deep voice rose from beside her ear.
"Do you have your ID?"
She paused briefly, her heart picking up a pace.
"Okay."
Xiao Yu placed her in the passenger seat, bent over to buckle her seat belt for her, then slid into the driver's seat.
He started the car and called his assistant.
"Prepare the household registration book in ten minutes and take it to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
His tone allowed no room for refusal.
Assistant Zhou Yi stared at the disconnected phone, dumbfounded.
Did he just receive a call from the boss?
Ten minutes later.
When Zhou Yi saw Du Anqian and Xiao Yu appearing at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau together, he was so shocked that his eyes nearly popped out.
Is the boss really getting a license with another man's woman?!
