Pei Ge absentmindedly looked at the other pairs of lovers in the Civil Affairs Bureau as she was led by Ji Ziming to the waiting area .
“Wait here . ”
The moment they reached the waiting area, and once she sat down, he left her without explaining anything and disappeared around a bend .
In his absence, she was finally able to dispel the gloominess inside her with a sigh .
“Sister, why are you sighing? Your husband is so handsome; do you still feel discontented?” The woman sitting next to her asked out of the blue .
The sound of a voice startled Pei Ge, and she turned to see who had spoken, only to find a lady around her age . The stranger had eyes filled with envy .
“Erm…”
The lady did not wait for her to respond and merely continued with a smile, “Sister, I really envy you . Your marriage partner is so handsome . He seems like a caring person, too . ”
Her mouth twitched at the corner at the lady's words .
She was really tempted to ask the lady in what way did that annoying fellow look caring to her .
“Ke ke…” Not knowing how to react to her words, Pei Ge simply laughed wryly .
“Hey, if my spouse is half as good-looking as yours, I will be smiling every day . ” Despite Pei Ge's lackluster response, the lady was not discouraged from speaking about her personal life .
From this conversation, she learned that the lady had met her marriage partner through a blind date .
The two were dating for less than half a year when they decided to get married at the Civil Affairs Bureau . They were currently preparing to hold a wedding banquet .
Though the lady was fussy about her partner's appearance, she could still hear the blissfulness in her voice .
Pei Ge was, in actuality, envious of the lady .
Sometimes, a person's outward appearance was not as important as having a good heart .
She had never demanded for her other half to be good-looking; her only wish was for her future partner to only love her and to always treat her with sincerity .
Regrettably, she had never met such a man .
“Sister, did your other half make you angry today?” The lady covered her mouth and giggled when she noticed how deep in thought Pei Ge was .
Abashed, she licked her lips and then shook her head . “No . ”
“Ke ke . Sometimes, you just have to go along with what your man wants . Forget about his personality, every man is just a bit of a chauvinist at heart . This is especially the case in times of argument . Don't even think of winning; there's no winning or losing between a husband and a wife . Only by remaining harmonious can a married couple truly win . ”
Pei Ge's eyes widened at the lady's words . This was her first time hearing such a statement!
“Er, Big Sister, why do you know so much about life as a married couple?” She blinked her eyes in confusion at the lady sitting next to her .
“Ke ke, this is actually my second marriage, so I'm actually speaking from experience . ” The lady was not ashamed to admit that she was a divorcée .
Pei Ge nodded with a smile .
“I find it easy to talk to you, so I'm telling you this . The disposition of your good-looking other half seems to be above average; many shameless women will certainly try to get between you two . You should do as I've said . Though there's no guarantee of the result, at least you will be able to live comfortably,” the lady kindly advised .
Pei Ge only reacted once she heard this kind of advice .
The lady was apparently worried of her getting cheated on because that annoying fellow was too good-looking while she was too plain-looking .
Upon this realization, for a moment, she did not know whether to laugh or cry in response .
Forget about her not being in that kind of relationship with the man, the marriage itself was just a pretense .
Still, even if her relationship with the man were true and the marriage were real, she would never doubt that annoying person regarding such matter .
This was because that man had neither treated the female population nicely nor dated any woman .
For some reason, she felt that he was the type to remain faithful once he found his true love .
“Ah Yan, all the paperwork is settled; let's go . ”
The lady still wanted to continue imparting her knowledge about life as a married woman, but her tall and tanned partner walked up to them just then .
The moment the lady saw her man, a wide smile quickly crept across her lips .
“Sister, I'll be taking my leave now . Remember not to argue with your man when you are mad . A man needs to be sweet-talked, or else another woman will snatch him away . ” The woman left her with these words .
Pei Ge, who was left alone in the waiting area, kept thinking of the lady's last piece of advice .
Sweet-talk that annoying person?
She shuddered at the thought .
Forget it; just thinking about that is scary enough .
“Let's go take a photo now . ”
As she was imagining a scene of her cajoling the man, the latter appeared before her and indifferently gave this instruction .
She immediately retracted her thoughts at his order . Looking up, her eyes were greeted by the man's winsome face .
She inadvertently recalled that wild imagination she had had earlier, and her cheeks blushed furiously .
“Ah, o-oh . Sure,” she lowered her head and muttered guiltily .
Seeing her act like this, the man was actually really curious but, in the end, did bother pursuing the matter .
“Let's go,” he repeated before walking away .
She took a deep, calming breath and then got up from the chair and trailed after the man .
Looking at his tall and slender back, her eyes gradually softened .
She was going to be his wife .
While it was fake, she was still a little happy…
As she was secretly feeling elated, the man was not any calmer .
The dumb woman was going to be his wife…
Unbeknown to him, the corners of his mouth arched upward in happiness .
