Chapter 2: Flash Marriage

```

"Oh." Lu Yinfeng was unexpectedly calm, "That's fine, I had already guessed as much."

Mo Qianyan did not seem like a man who had lacked desires for three years, Lu Yinfeng deluded herself into thinking, as long as he did not reveal it, she would pretend to be unaware.

Let's just continue to whitewash this false peace.

She didn't believe that Mo Qianyan's heart was made of stone.

Mo Nanze's eyes narrowed as he stared intently at Lu Yinfeng's face, then the corners of his lips curled up in a taunt, "Do you know that he has a child with another woman on the outside? The child is almost three years old now."

Lu Yinfeng was suddenly startled, and her heart seemed to explode, her longstanding beliefs shattering like a string of pearls, each one hammering against her heart.

"That woman was his first love." Mo Nanze watched with interest as Lu Yinfeng's expression gradually darkened, and he continued.

Lu Yinfeng's legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the bed, trembling. She propped herself up with her hands on her knees, trying not to fall apart.

"Strictly speaking, you are the third party," Mo Nanze said, his smile growing thicker in his eyes.

"No! I'm not!" Lu Yinfeng shook her head violently, "It was he who swore in front of Grandfather that he had completely severed ties with that woman!"

She was Mo Qianyan's wife, married through a proper and recognized ceremony, the granddaughter-in-law appointed by Grandfather Mo Qianyan, and the Mrs. Mo recognized in every sense!

How could she possibly be the third party!

Seeing Lu Yinfeng so distraught, a trace of pity flashed through Mo Nanze's eyes.

This woman had led a sheltered life since childhood, never knowing the cruel ways of the world, always believing it was filled with truth, goodness, and beauty.

No wonder she had failed to see through Mo Qianyan's character even up to this point.

"You are completely unaware of this matter; you cannot be blamed," Mo Nanze said gravely.

Then, Mo Nanze sat beside Lu Yinfeng. Regardless of whether she wanted to listen, he began to tell her about Mo Qianyan's past, before they were married.

Mo Qianyan started dating in college, that girl was his first love, Mo Qianyan liked her very much and wanted to marry her right after graduation.

However, the Head of the Mo Family, that is, Mo Qianyan's grandfather, Mo Nanze's father—Mo Qingfeng, did not think highly of that girl at all.

So he did what any typical parent would do – thwart their love.

Using the family fortune as leverage, Mo Qingfeng forced Mo Qianyan to break up with that girl and quickly married him off to Lu Yinfeng.

"No wonder... Haha." Lu Yinfeng covered her face with her hands, emitting a pained laugh.

No wonder Mo Qianyan hated her to the bone.

Turns out, she had always been the ghost of Mo Qingfeng's coercion in his heart, the bad woman who, by some unknown means, climbed into a wealthy family, the third party who wrecked his love!

"However... Mo Qianyan never truly broke it off with that woman," Mo Nanze's cold tone added fuel to the fire, "He was cohabitating with that woman here in the city and had a son. After Dad died, he couldn't wait to divorce you, probably to marry that woman."

Words can be sharp weapons. As a lawyer, Mo Nanze knew exactly how to speak to hit someone deeply.

He wanted Lu Yinfeng to be utterly disillusioned with Mo Qianyan!

He wished to erase every trace that Mo Qianyan had left in her heart over these three years!

Does it hurt? Mo Nanze stared at Lu Yinfeng's profile, thinking to himself, good, it's supposed to hurt.

Only having felt pain will prevent repeating the same mistakes.

Lu Yinfeng, just as you said, don't commit the same error twice...

Having said that, he coldly and silently waited for Lu Yinfeng to react. In his experience, women always made a scene when faced with such issues.

Lu Yinfeng hung her head, not saying a word for a long time.

In fact, she knew that Mo Qianyan had a partner before marriage that wasn't approved by the Mo family.

That girl was his college classmate, from an impoverished home, holding a Cinderella script that didn't lead to marrying a prince.

Because that prince had firmly chosen fortune over her.

And Lu Yinfeng, having listened to Old Master Mo, believed that only a relationship blessed by family could last.

Lu Yinfeng's already confused mind became even more jumbled after all this.

Covering her face, she let out a muffled, pained groan.

Mo Qianyan turned out to be so different from the upright, kind, sunny, and cheerful person she'd thought he was.

When he married her, that woman was already pregnant!

Lu Yinfeng didn't know the struggles Mo Qianyan might have faced privately at that time, but the scene where he swore confidently in front of Old Master Mo was vividly etched in her mind.

"Grandfather, I have completely cut off ties with her. I will follow your wishes, marry Lu Yinfeng, and have a good life together," he had said.

```

In the end, Mo Qianyan had deceived both sides, betraying his first love and also hurting Lu Yinfeng, his wife.

Lu Yinfeng, what kind of person do you even like!

Mo Nanze had waited for a long time, yet didn't see any sign of Lu Yinfeng having an outburst.

"Little Uncle, what you said earlier... were you serious?"

After a while, Lu Yinfeng gripped the bedsheets tightly, her teeth biting her lower lip, seeming both agitated and timid as she asked.

"I was serious." Mo Nanze suddenly turned his head, his burning gaze fixed intensely on the profile of Lu Yinfeng's face.

Lu Yinfeng just happened to turn her head and met his gaze.

"I... I don't want to let him off so easily, don't want to bear all the pain by myself..." Lu Yinfeng's teeth clenched even tighter.

She had once cherished Mo Qianyan and had silently accepted his cold violence.

But she couldn't tolerate having devoted three years to a hypocritical, self-righteous scumbag.

Mo Nanze stood up and slowly paced to the floor-to-ceiling window, his stern face reflected in the bright and clear glass.

"Do you want to take revenge?" Mo Nanze's voice was low and deep, like a whirlpool, drawing Lu Yinfeng's thoughts into it.

"Yes!" Lu Yinfeng affirmed, "I want to take revenge!"

"How do you plan to do that? It shouldn't be illegal, nor should it consume too much of your time and energy, it's not worth it."

"That's right, Mo Qianyan cares about his image, I'll tell the Mo family members about what he has done!"

Mo Nanze shook his head gently, smiling, "If you speak out, Mo Qianyan will simply marry that woman and that would be doing exactly as he wishes."

Lu Yinfeng frowned and pondered, realizing that Mo Nanze made a lot of sense.

A head-on confrontation with Mo Qianyan certainly wouldn't work; she would have to find another way.

"I have an idea, just listen to it for now." While Lu Yinfeng was tangled in thought, Mo Nanze spoke, "Mo Qianyan despises you because he thinks you schemed to get close to him only for the Mo Family's money. Now that he has easily kicked you out, he must be secretly pleased."

The words of Mo Nanze were blunt and cruel, causing Lu Yinfeng's emotions to rise again.

"What do you think his face would look like if he knew you haven't just cut ties with the Mo Family?"

"Little Uncle, I think you make a great point, but I don't understand." Lu Yinfeng said, confused.

Mo Nanze had said so much, yet it seemed he had offered no concrete method.

"Just tell me directly what I should do."

"Let's get married." Mo Nanze turned around, walking straight toward Lu Yinfeng and extending his hand, "Let's get married, as a way to take revenge on Mo Qianyan."

Lu Yinfeng felt as if she had not sobered up yet, her head spinning.

She looked up into Mo Nanze's deep eyes, which seemed to hold some kind of magic, and soon after, Lu Yinfeng found herself dreamily taking Mo Nanze's clearly-defined, pale and slender hand.

"Little Uncle, you... make a lot of sense, it's a pleasure working with you!" Lu Yinfeng shook her hand with emphasis.

A flash marriage!

The next day, Mo Nanze and Lu Yinfeng each prepared the required documents and went to the civil affairs office to get their marriage certificate.

To say they prepared was an understatement; it hardly took any effort at all.

Since Lu Yinfeng had just gotten her divorce certificate, all the documents were in her bag.

And Mo Nanze, surprisingly, also had carried the necessary identification with him.

Lu Yinfeng had no time to think too much, only wanted to get this done as quickly as possible.

The staff member, seeing the date on the divorce certificate, cast an unfriendly glance at Lu Yinfeng.

Mo Nanze sat lazily in his chair, his legs stretched out, exuding an extraordinary demeanor.

The staff member took an extra look at Mo Nanze, sensed his intimidating presence, and quickly lowered his head to process the marriage for them swiftly.

Stepping out of the civil affairs office, Lu Yinfeng looked at the small booklet in her hand, feeling that everything was so unreal.

She had actually had a flash marriage with her ex-husband's Little Uncle!

"Well... Little Uncle, goodbye!" Lu Yinfeng waved, not daring to look at Mo Nanze, and immediately hailed a taxi and took off.

By the time Mo Nanze reacted, all he saw was the back of the taxi. He caressed the marriage certificate in his hand, its rough texture with a hint of smoothness fascinating him.

"Lu Yinfeng, it's been three years, and though it's a bit late, I finally married you," Mo Nanze murmured softly.

The three years he had missed in the past, he was determined to make up for them with a lifetime with Lu Yinfeng.
