Not acknowledging her words, Mo Jingshen remained silent as he took in the girl before him.
She had dressed very simply, as though she just wanted to grab something at a nearby supermarket while he was still dressed in the custom made suit that he wore to work.
Despite her simple get up, he found that she was quite pleasant to look at.
Asides from her red hair that stood out like a sore thumb, she had delicate features on a palm sized face.
However, as the second young master of the Mo family, Mo Jingshen had met many beauties. What really made him keep looking at her was her eyes.
Just a second ago, her eyes had a bright and shiny look in them like a little child.
But now, with her hand stretched towards him, her eyes looked indifferent and alluring, revealing a carefree and frivolous personality.
After a while, Mo Jingshen nodded to acknowledge her greeting.
"Nice to meet you."
His words were simple and didn't leave room for any conversation, yet, he didn't stand up and talk about them registering their marriage.
Lu Wanli broke the silence after a minute.
"Mr Mo, the initial agreement was to have you marry my older sister. I'm currently in my second year of school and won't be a suitable bride."
Mo Jingshen held her gaze but said nothing. Lu Wanli wasn't expecting it to be easy anyways so she leaned back, allowing herself to feel more comfortable before continuing.
"Marriage is a lifetime affair. I don't think Mr Mo should rush into it. Although there's an agreement, it's best if you meet my sister before choosing who would be best for you."
Mo Jingshen gave her a long and hard stare that made her squirm a little. Was this man starting to show his true colors?
Just when she felt sweat starting to run down her back, Mo Jingshen finally looked away.
"Either one is fine."
"If there's nothing else, let's get the registration handled."
Lu Wanli shook her head like a rattle drum.
"Mr Mo, marriage shouldn't be taken lightly!"
"In the first place, it was wrong of my grandfather to demand marriage as a compensation for saving your life but that doesn't mean you have to give up hope of having a beautiful married life."
She leaned forward earnestly so that her elbows were resting on the table.
"Mr Mo, you should think this over carefully, there's no need for you to risk your future."
Mo Jingshen chuckled lowly and leaned back in his seat. "You don't want to get married."
He wasn't asking her, he was pointing out the obvious but when Lu Wanli met that pair of bewitching peach blossom eyes, she found herself tongue tied.
What a charming man!
That pair of eyes almost made her confused. But luckily, she had enough experience to remind her that marriage was the last thing that she needed.
Gathering her thoughts, Lu Wanli nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Mr Mo. I think marriage is sacred and I would love to meet someone, fall in love and date before deciding to get married."
"We register the marriage now and get a divorce in two years. After that, you can find the love that you desire."
Lu Wanli's eyes widened in shock and she went silent for some minutes.
It seemed like Mo Jingshen always had this plan in mind and it had nothing to do with Lu Wanyin.
From the beginning, the man was only planning to fulfill the agreement of getting married.
Since there was no agreement of staying married, he didn't mind spending two to three years before getting himself free of the unreasonable demand.
After thinking things over, Lu Wanli felt like this wasn't such a bad plan.
"Alright."
"But I have two conditions."
The man before her nodded so she continued.
"We have to sign a prenup that states that we don't owe each other anything after the marriage and I also want the marriage to be hidden."
The two conditions were disadvantageous to her so Mo Jingshen looked at her suspiciously.
Under his piercing stare, Lu Wanli chuckled dryly. "The first is my way of dealing with my family."
"As for the second one, after our marriage is over, it would be difficult to find someone that is truly genuine."
Mo Jingshen's eyes flashed with a bit of surprise and he stood up.
"Alright. I would have my assistant draft it up."
Then he added, "Let's get the registration done, we have kept them waiting for some time."
When he stood up, Lu Wanli finally realized how tall this man was.
Although she couldn't be considered as tall, she found that her head wasn't even reaching his shoulders.
Walking behind him, she felt like there was some tall boulder ahead of her.
When he stepped outside of the restaurant, he held the door open for her to come out and then held her hands to cross the door.
She was completely surprised at his actions since it was a big contrast to what she thought about him.
Just like he said, the people at the Bureau were all waiting anxiously and once they saw them, they greeted Mo Jingshen politely and got started with the process.
From submitting her documents to signing the papers and taking pictures, everything was completed in about twenty minutes.
The both of them walked out of the bureau holding a red booklet and a Maybach pulled to a stop right beside them.
A man in his early thirties got down from the car and held the door open.
Glancing at the car that was obviously for Mo Jingshen, Lu Wanli smiled at him.
"See you later, Mr Mo!"
"Bye," she added with a wave of her hand as she turned to go.
However, she had barely taken a step when she felt a hand wrap around her elbow.
She turned to look at Mo Jingshen and was surprised to see his eyes glaring at her.
"Where do you think you are going?"
Lu Wanli raised her brows, confused by his obvious question. "Home."
Mo Jingshen's lips curled upwards as he glanced at the booklet in her hands.
"We are a couple now."
Before Lu Wanli could reply, he held her hands and led her towards the Maybach.
"Let's go home, Mrs Mo."
