8 Chapter 9: Could There Be a Problem?

"Could it be... impotence?" she murmured to herself inwardly, but not daring to voice such thoughts out loud.

Gu Chuyan thought further. Seeing that she was doomed either way, there was no hope for her to count on her own family, the Gu family anymore.

Her eldest brother hadn't come home for three years, his whereabouts unknown. Her family would definitely not care about her wellbeing. Gu Yan, for his sake, must want to send her straight to jail- and then Miaoting would be content.

"Does this include meals and accommodations?" Gu Chuyan asked weakly, feeling embarrassed by her own question.

"Included."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chuyan stretched out her hand and poked his chest. He was not only handsome but built as well. Absolutely top-tier.

"What?" Xiao Mohan grabbed her tiny hand, moving it away.

Leaning back in his chair, Xiao Mohan started to casually unbutton his shirt, speaking in a low voice, "Still considering me?"

"I, I didn't mean to..." Gu Chuyan hastily jumped out of the car in a panic.

To prove she wasn't the kind of person he thought she was, in reality, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself. A promising young man was about to be ruined by her.

Helpless, she felt like she was a huge playboy.

She turned around, jumping off the car, nearly falling off, but a sturdy hand reached out, keeping her from falling and scooped her into his arms.

Gu Chuyan was held by him as he walked further inwards.

"Make way! Make way." Han Changqing rushed forward to clear the path for him.

"Civil...Affairs…Bureau?" Gu Chuyan raised her head, reading the three characters hanging above the building, she was utterly confused.

He carried her inside! The staff inside rushed over to greet them and shake his hand.

"Master Xiao, we are looking forward to your patronage." The Bureau's staff were ecstatic.

"Mm." Xiao Mohan accepted the red booklet and handed it over to Gu Chuyan.

Seeing the red booklet, Gu Chuyan's hands were shaking. She turned it over and over again to look at it.

Was the reason for Han Changqing's earlier arrival related to this matter? So, the actual person doesn't have to be present for the marriage procedure? Would anyone please tell her this wasn't real?

"Hello, hello." Catching sight of this, Gu Chuyan instantly grabbed the red booklet and started running towards the exit, pulling over a staff member to question.

But the facts showed that she really was now married!

"Why am I able to get a marriage license?" She was on the verge of crying. She thought it was a jokey proposal, not believing that they could really get married.

The staff member respectfully looked at her and responded, "Marriage has nothing to do with a license."

Not related to a license? Then what is it related to?

"Then what is it related to?" Gu Chuyan asked.

The staff member thought to herself: Marriage! It has to do with love. If you're in love, you can wait at any time, right? With such a handsome man, even she would want to marry him.

Han Changqing walked back over and said to her, "Madam, I have some pressing matters so I'll be leaving first! I'll take you home."

"He left?" Upon hearing this, Gu Chuyan turned and the man was nowhere to be seen!

Han Changqing glanced at her and respectfully said, "Yes, Master has urgent matters to deal with."

Gu Chuyan waved her hand at him and asked, "Can I go for a walk around first?"

She wanted to find an opportunity to escape, to see what was happening right now. She couldn't just sit there doing nothing, right? Miaoting, that bitch, her skin needed to be peeled off.

"Madam, you happen to be a murderer at the moment," Han Changqing said, reminding her in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chuyan's face turned pale. She covered her face with her hand, ran behind Han Changqing, and cautiously clutched at the back of his suit jacket.
