Against The Law

"Please. There's no need for gratitude." Lily beamed. "You and father have my full support on this. So… when are you planning on having the wedding?"

He then agreed to have the wedding next year but… he insisted on getting our marriage certificate that day."

"So… you two are already married?" Lily asked in amusement.

"Yes. We already have the certificate. He asked me to keep it a secret because… he did not want you to get upset. But I feel like lying to you is just wrong."

"Well… Congratulations. So you are officially Mrs. Qin. Should I start calling you stepmother?"
