Shush & Marry Me

Oliver Jiang sipped his lips and said nothing. He took the contract and signed his name on it.

He had signed countless contracts, but he didn’t expect to sign a marriage on a paper one day.

After he signed the contract, Victoria Tan handed the document along with a check to him. She smiled and said, “You haven’t even looked at the content. If I made any unreasonable terms, wouldn’t you suffer?”

Oliver Jiang lowered his head and stared at her face. He felt that she was incredibly stupid. Why would a man suffer when he married a woman?

Moreover, she took the contract seriously. Marriage was so sacred that it was protected by law. Contractual marriage, however, was not. The law would only protect the property division agreement which was not good for her.

He only made profit but didn’t pay for the deal.

The same applied for different man on this deal.

He took the check and stared at the zeros on it. He had an impulse to tear it up, but he suppressed his feelings and saved both the check and the contract.

“I urgently need the money, I have no choice. It doesn’t matter if I suffer some losses.” he replied while facing her.

“Very well.” Let’s go in.” she nodded.

Tomorrow was Chinese Valentine’s Day, but there were quite a few people who came to get the certificate today. When Victoria Tan and Oliver Jiang lined up, the queue was already very long.

The faces of the couples were full of joy and a sort of uneasiness. In front of them was a pair of man and woman who looked like college students. The woman nervously held the man’s arm and whispered, “Baby, I’m so scared. Are we really going to get the certificate? I’m nervous!”

The man touched the woman’s hand. His face was tangled, “Do you want to come back tomorrow?”

Victoria Tan stared at the scene and felt like losing her mind. Suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder. When Victoria Tan looked back, she saw a woman standing behind her with a slightly big belly. She said, “Excuse me, I’m a little uncomfortable. Can you let me and my husband cut the line? I need to go to the hospital after I get the certificate.”

“Please.” the man begged.

Victoria Tan looked up at Oliver Jiang’s eyes and said, “Sure. You can go first.”

The pregnant woman smiled at Victoria Tan and said, “Thank you. Your husband is so handsome.”

“Thank you.” Victoria Tan was slightly embarrassed. She always thought that she would get the certificate with Frank Lu. She never expected that she would get it with the man next to her.

She looked up at him. His mind was somewhere else. He didn’t seem to hear the noise around him.

“Make way! Make way! Thank you. Please, make way!” suddenly, accompanied by noisy footsteps, a group of people collided with the tail of the line.

“Don’t push!”

People standing on the line was pushed forward and Victoria Tan was hit hard by people behind her. Oliver Jiang reached out and put his arm around her preventing her from falling down.

There was no time for awkward reaction. She only found herself falling in his arms while seeing a couple she least wanted to see coming forward.

“She’s sitting on a wheelchair while getting a certificate? She’s accompanied by guards too. She must hail from some wealthy families!”

“The groom is really handsome and the bride is on a wheelchair. Is that possible? It’s either she’s rich or it’s true love!”
