"Let me go!" Yan Qingruo never thought that not only was he extremely narcissistic, he was also incredibly unreasonable, and she was so anxious that she was nearly in tears.
However, the doctor was still immersed in his own world, holding onto her tightly, "How could you leave? Today is an auspicious day, let's go and get the marriage certificate!"
His chubby cheeks trembled with excitement, determined that Yan Qingruo was his wife.
Suddenly, a cup of coffee splashed across the doctor's face.
The scalding coffee made the doctor howl in pain, and he finally released Yan Qingruo's hand.
Furious, the doctor wiped the coffee from his face and saw a tall, upright man standing before him.
Chen Qianmo couldn't bear to see Yan Qingruo being bullied.
So he splashed the doctor's face with a cup of coffee neatly and decisively.
Even if this woman was sent by his grandfather, he wouldn't allow anyone else to bully her!
Yan Qingruo felt shocked and flustered, bumping into Chen Qianmo's body. For some reason, she felt an inexplicable trust in this man, and her heart instantly settled down.
The doctor angrily said to Chen Qianmo, "Who are you, and what are you doing holding onto my wife?"
"He's talking nonsense, I am not his wife, not at all..." Yan Qingruo hurriedly explained loudly, her big eyes wide open in shock and anger. How could he arbitrarily label her as his "wife"!
"I know you're not. Because you..." Chen Qianmo slightly lowered his gaze, which reflected the startled, deer-like eyes of Yan Qingruo. He slightly curved his lips, "are my woman."
Yan Qingruo, preoccupied with the belief that he was merely being kind in assisting her, paid no attention to the deeper meaning in his words.
His voice, deep yet not without tenderness, was forcefully persuasive and pleasant to the ear.
Without thinking, she nodded, "Yes, yes, Mr. Huang, this is my fiancé, I already have a fiancé. I am so sorry for coming to meet you for the blind date, for taking up your time, I'm so sorry..."
Right now, Yan Qingruo wanted nothing more than to get away from the doctor as quickly as possible.
However, upon hearing her words, Chen Qianmo's lips slightly curved up, obviously pleased by what she said.
The doctor was taken aback for a moment and reached out to grab Yan Qingruo again, but before his hand could reach her, Chen Qianmo caught it and effortlessly threw his portly body aside.
The doctor fell flat on his face and struggled on the ground for a while before managing to get up. Stubborn as he was, he wouldn't give up and questioned, "How can you prove your relationship?"
Yan Qingruo's mind was in chaos, having not expected to meet such an odd individual on a blind date, and she swore she would never do something as foolish as blind dating again.
She parted her red lips to speak, but instead, a handsome, enlarged face appeared before her, and the gentle warmth from the lips of the unfamiliar man transferred to her tender, red lips...
"Mmm..." She tried to push him away in panic. She had been dating Li Haocheng for a year and had maintained her first kiss; how could she...
Chen Qianmo caught her flailing hands and ended the fleeting kiss, looking provocatively at the doctor, "Do we still need to prove anything?"
The PhD was both angry and anxious, feeling extremely unwilling to let it go. He finally thought of something and said loudly, "So what if you kissed her? As long as she's not married, I can still pursue her, and she can be my wife. Do you have a certificate? Are you protected by the law? In public, what gives you the right to kiss my wife?"
"Whether we have a certificate or not is none of your business! And please, don't keep saying those two words!" Yan Qingruo couldn't help but get angry and retort.
"Since you don't have a certificate, I'll call her my wife!" The PhD was determined to cling to Yan Qingruo, sticking to her like a plaster that wouldn't come off.
"I... I..." In her desperation, Yan Qingruo grabbed Chen Qianmo's hand and raised it high, "Chen Qianmo and I are going to get our certificate soon. So, Mr. Huang, please don't bother us anymore!"
The PhD, who only graduated at thirty-five and was thirty-six this year, having worked only one year and possessing a very low EQ, became frantic for a while and said, "Have you gotten it yet? When will you get it? How can I tell if the certificate you get is real or fake? Unless I see it myself, I won't let this go!"
Yan Qingruo didn't expect him to keep pressing on and was at a loss for words to refute him.
Chen Qianmo was so annoyed he laughed, "We'll go get it right now!"
The PhD pointed to the civil affairs office not far across the street, "I'll watch you go and get it."
"I..." Faced with someone so persistent and low in EQ, Yan Qingruo lacked experience and only now realized she had spoken too rashly.
She looked at Chen Qianmo apprehensively; getting a marriage certificate was definitely out of the question, but what if this man, afraid of trouble, left her by herself to face this unbearable PhD? What should she do?
With this thought, she couldn't help but clutch at Chen Qianmo's sleeve, fearing he would walk away.
Chen Qianmo took her hand with a reverse grip, spreading his fingers with clear knuckles wide to cover her soft hand entirely.
Yan Qingruo's face turned slightly red, unaccustomed to such intimacy, something she had never experienced before. She didn't usually like Li Haocheng holding her hand, but with this stranger, she felt no aversion at all...
As her heart pounded away, Chen Qianmo spoke up, his voice magnetic and pleasant, "Chen Qianmo and Yan Qingruo are going to get our certificate right now, and this celebratory drink is for Mr. Huang to enjoy."
As soon as he finished speaking, with a dashing gesture, he picked up a glass of fruit wine from a passing waiter's tray and hurled it all into the PhD's face.
The glass too, smashed against his pimply, bearded face.
The PhD, splashed twice, was not only unrepentant but became even more narcissistic and triumphant in his noise-making. He seemed like someone entirely living in his own world, acting as if everything on Earth should revolve around him. He apparently wouldn't stop until he saw Yan Qingruo and Chen Qianmo obtain their certificate.
Chen Qianmo grasped Yan Qingruo's hand and strode out of the café, heading towards the entrance of the civil affairs office.
Yes, this little woman, he had made up his mind about her long ago.
Ever since she stumbled into his territory last night, he had decided to take her back home.
Regardless of whether she was sent by his grandfather or not, he was set on claiming her!
Better to take action now than to choose a date later. With the PhD making a scene, it was convenient to go along with it and get this matter settled. This way, he could prevent this naïve girl from going on blind dates and attracting unnecessary trouble for herself.
Behind them, the PhD persisted, following them as if guarding against thieves.
When Chen Qianmo pulled Yan Qingruo across the street, his tall frame enveloped her completely, almost as if he was holding and wrapping her in a protective embrace.
