Fu Xiuyuan looked at her sideways. Shi Jin felt sad as she recalled how he fell into her arms with his face covered in blood in her past life.
She disregarded her urge to cry and hurriedly picked up the pen to sign the document.
Shi Jin held the two red booklets tightly in her hands as they walked out.
Song Fan rubbed his eyes and pinched his thigh as though he were dreaming when he witnessed the sight.
He was genuinely not dreaming! His thighs had even become bruised from all the pinching.
Fu Xiuyuan sat upright in the car. Even though the coldness on his face had dissipated, an imposing aura continued radiating from him.
He was happy to accept Shi Jin's unexpected change in attitude, but he was afraid that this was just the calm before the storm.
Shi Jin was keenly aware of the lies and empty promises she made all these years so that she could run from him. Even with the marriage license, he was worried that she was not in it wholeheartedly.
Fu Xiuyuan was deep in thought when he suddenly felt a cool sensation in his hand. He lowered his eyes to see the red booklets.
"Xiuyuan, why don't you keep this?" Shi Jin sounded relaxed as she smiled candidly. "You can keep the marriage license. I will stay in Repulse Bay Villa from now on."
His long fingers instantly froze as he held the marriage license so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He looked fixedly at her face.
Shi Jin held his hand up somewhat sadly. "Deng Yufei said I wanted to run, but it's not true. From now on, you can only believe what I say."
"Shi Jin." Fu Xiuyuan's voice sounded deep and husky as he held her soft hands. However, he continued frowning and seemed as though he was trying to figure out the veracity of her words.
Shi Jin said softly, "I used to be blind and couldn't tell humans and animals apart. It stops now. Please don't believe anything you hear unless it comes from me, especially Deng Yufei."
"Okay." Fu Xiuyuan's Adam's apple moved as he promised deeply.
"Why can she enter Repulse Bay Villa as she wishes? Why can she get in touch with you?" asked Shi Jin.
Fu Xiuyuan replied, "I don't know either."
Shi Jin instantly realized that Deng Yufei could have such access because of her and not Fu Xiuyuan.
Deng Yufei went around pretending to be her best friend. Would anyone deny her entry into Repulse Bay Villa? Would it dawn on Fu Xiuyuan that anything could be amiss with what Deng Yufei said? It was all her fault.
Shi Jin saw Fu Xiuyuan looking worried after she gathered her thoughts. She felt bad, so she turned to kiss the corner of his lips with her mask on.
She saw the darkness in his eyes disappear and get replaced by a dazzling light.
***
At Repulse Bay Villa.
Everyone could sense something different about the mood Fu Xiuyuan was in. He was unusually warm, and his previously stern expression had lifted.
A servant was distracted by the change in Fu Xiuyuan and accidentally spilled some water. He was so terrified that he turned pale and felt that he was dead meat. However, Fu Xiuyuan waved his hand and let him leave.
It was an unprecedented miracle!
Song Fan was sitting in the front passenger seat on the way back and did not keep an eye on Shi Jin, so he missed the sight of Shi Jin kissing Fu Xiuyuan. Hence, he did not know why there was such a huge change in Fu Xiuyuan's mood.
Fu Xiuyuan clearly seemed unperturbed when they left the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Nevertheless, he hoped that Shi Jin would stick to her word this time!
Shi Jin went back to her room, took off the mask, and removed her makeup.
The top half of her face was exquisite and flawless, but a twisted scar starting from the bottom of the side of her nose ran down through her lips to the bottom of her chin.
The scar had already healed, but looked distorted and horrifying. It looked as though heaven had played a prank on her by ruining her flawless features and left an indelible mark on her face.
She had the Shi family's biological daughter to thank for it.
The biological daughter of the Shi family was previously known as Li Xuexin, but she promptly changed her name to Shi Xuexin after the Shi family brought her home.
She swiftly won the family over with her poise and elegance. Moreover, she was their biological offspring.
Shi Jin was 12 years old when it happened. The Li family was supposed to pick her up, and she was willing to give up everything and return to them, but they did not show up. So Shi Jin had no choice but to continue living with the Shi family as a laughingstock.
Everyone kept sneering at her. They felt that the Li family deliberately did not come for her because they were impoverished. The Li family must have wanted to let her continue living with a rich family instead of going home to lead a hard life with them.
Some people even speculated that the Li family had deliberately swapped Shi Jin and Shi Xuexin at birth so that their biological daughter could have a better life.
She suffered a lot living as the fake daughter of the Shi family.
Shi Xuexin acted thoughtfully on the surface. However, she kept framing Shi Jin and making Shi Jin's life difficult when no one was looking. She was the one who gave Shi Jin the scar.
Her so-called fiancé, Chu Ling, was her only ray of hope while she suffered at the Shi family, so she clung to him desperately.
The Li family later asked Fu Xiuyuan to pick Shi Jin up, but it was too late, and Shi Jin was incapable of trusting them.
Years later, she would come to know that the Li family was unable to pick her up due to some accident.
In reality, the Li family was no small fry. They were one of the top four elite families in the capital, and they loved her as much as Fu Xiuyuan did.
In her past life, owing to some unexpected events, they failed to reunite.
"It's okay. This time, I will protect you," said Shi Jin softly. She could see the faces of her biological parents and brothers as she looked in the mirror.
She retrieved a bottle of medication and applied it carefully to the scar on her face.
In her past life, she happened to master an ancient medical technique and created medicine to remove the scar. However, it took some time to take effect, and she could not use makeup during this time.
Since she was getting married today, she had to take a photo, so she put on a lot of foundation to do her utmost to hide the scar.
Fu Xiuyuan was probably the only person on earth who could remain unwaveringly in love with her despite this horrific scar.
Shi Jin smiled.
***
The next day, Deng Yufei went over to Repulse Bay Villa first thing in the morning.
The villa was unexpectedly peaceful, and there were no signs of any fights between Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan.
Was it not enough to make Fu Xiuyuan angry when she burned the identification card?
In that case, she had to fan the flames once more!
"Shi Jin!" Deng Yufei finally found her.
Shi Jin had already changed. She was dressed in a simple white T-shirt and worn-out jeans. Her slender and fair waist could be inadvertently seen while her legs were long and shapely.
Regardless of what Shi Jin wore, she looked pretty.
Deng Yufei's eyes could not help turning red in envy.
