Chapter 005: Lu Siyen: After All, the Certificate Has Been Obtained!-Mimada ao Extremo! Depois de Renascida, Fico Indomável nos Braços do Senhor Lu(Ser uma pessoa tranquila)

"Five years old!"

Damn it! Isn’t this really not the time to discuss that?

“I can’t get the marriage certificate!”

Hearing this, Lu Bei’s grip on the steering wheel trembled slightly.

“Hm?”

Lu Siyen’s entire body instantly grew colder by several degrees, his voice tinged with irritation.

“Don’t misunderstand. Getting the certificate is fine, but I currently have neither my ID card nor household registration booklet! You should understand why I ended up on the cruise ship.” As she spoke, Chu Wanning clenched her small fists tightly.

The next moment, a warm, dry hand enveloped hers.

“First, we’ll get those reissued.”

So, the chief of the Public Security Bureau personally came to expedite the process, ensuring she obtained a new ID card and household registration booklet.

Suddenly, Chu Wanning thought, maybe having this man as her husband wouldn’t be so bad after all.

To avoid any delay in getting the marriage certificate, a notice was also given to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

In just about an hour, Chu Wanning became a married woman, with a red booklet in hand.

She blinked in bewilderment, looking up at Lu Siyen and waving the certificate. “Wasn’t this a bit hasty?”

“No,” he replied.

He despised women, yet from the moment he saw her, he was captivated by her eyes. After only a few brief encounters, he realized he was experiencing feelings he had never known before.

Deep within, a voice kept urging him: Keep her! Keep her!

And the best way to keep her was to make her his—openly and officially recognized.

He had never thought Lu Siqing was reliable, but when it came to choosing a wife for him, that brat did a fine job.

Chu Wanning naturally watched as the man took her hand and got into the car. One might think they had known each other for years, yet in reality, they had been together for less than forty-eight hours.

In two lifetimes, she had never been in love. Now, it was settled in one step: marriage, with a little bundle of joy as a bonus!

Her masters would probably be overjoyed when they found out!

After all, if they were married, wasn’t having a child just around the corner? Wouldn’t her masters start giving her a hard time again?

She had completed her apprenticeship, her baby was on the way—her later years would be full of joy and excitement!

Stop, stop, stop!

What was she thinking?

Hadn’t the man said she would be done once she graduated?

Sigh! Just married, and already scheduling a divorce date!

Ding!

Didn’t he also say something else?

If she wanted to leave later, he would let her go. But if she didn’t want to leave—would that mean she didn’t have to?

Thinking this through, she asked him softly.

“Want to leave right after getting the certificate?” The man’s tone was dark and cold.

“No, what I mean is, if I don’t want to leave, I just won’t, right?”

He didn’t answer, but Chu Wanning knew his reply—it was a silent agreement.

For some reason, her mood brightened considerably.

“I only wear cheongsams. I can design them myself. You help me find someone to make them. Also, I need a training venue, a sparring partner, and the highest-spec computers, laptops, and phones.”

Taking advantage of the holiday, she planned to regain her skills and perhaps earn some money!

After listing her requests, she looked at him.

“Lu Bei,” Lu Siyen spoke.

“Yes, madam. Arrangements have already begun. You will be satisfied!”

“Thank you!” Chu Wanning addressed the front seats, impressed with their efficiency.

The man’s expression shifted slightly. She immediately leaned close, whispering into his ear, “Thank you, Ayan.”

At that moment, the car jolted, and her soft lips brushed his earlobe.

Lu Siyen froze, every nerve in his body trembling at the sensation.

Chu Wanning hadn’t expected this and quickly pulled back, sitting up straight, hands resting neatly on her knees.

Could she explain? She truly hadn’t meant it.

Lu Bei felt uneasy. Just now, he had shifted the wheel slightly to avoid the car beside them.

Now, from the rearview mirror, he secretly glanced at Master Lu, who showed no anger—only a hint of shyness?

He must be seeing things! In his life, Master Lu and the word “shy” would never mix.

“Shall we return to the estate?” After a while, Chu Wanning turned her head toward the window, presenting the back of her head to Lu Siyen and asked softly.

“Hm, first to get your SIM card reissued!” Lu Siyen’s voice was steady, as if nothing had happened.

Chu Wanning hadn’t expected him to have thought of that as well, and her fondness for him soared.

At this rate, falling in love with him was inevitable.

“If you’re busy, I can go by myself!”

She knew the capital very well.

Besides, she didn’t want to trouble him. Since getting in the car, his computer had never left his hands; he must have lots of work to handle.

“No problem. We’ll fulfill all your requests. After all, you’ve got the certificate now, haven’t you?”

This man could just speak plainly, but why be so close? Her self-control around handsome men was notoriously weak.

Having had little contact before, she lacked any immunity!

Chu Wanning leaned closer to the car door on her side, saying no more. What she had just asked for was urgent, and she couldn’t refuse.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere on the Forbidden Island in the uninhabited zone of the Atlantic was somber.

“Fifth brother, are you sure our apprentice is gone?”

Fourth brother’s eyes reddened; choking back tears, he sought a different answer.

“Third brother found the black box. It contains the last footage of Ning Bao.”

“Inform second brother—clear out internally.” The eldest brother ordered sternly.

When he found the mastermind, whoever it was, they would be made to suffer worse than death. Even the heir of the Hidden Pavilion dared to move against his apprentice.

The Hidden Pavilion was formed by seven Chinese nationals, belonging to no country but rooted everywhere, invisible like air, infiltrating every corner of the world—hence the name.

Leng Ning was the sole apprentice among the elders, gifted and quick to learn, surpassing her masters.

Her current predicament was due to a top-secret mission, the most critical details of which were engraved in her mind, known only to a few elders.

Unexpectedly, there had been a full-scale betrayal. It seemed the mastermind’s offer had been truly enticing.

“Yes, brother. This mission isn’t a failure. The key data was never obtained by the enemy. No matter what they intend, it will fail. Ning Bao would never have given it up.” Sixth brother knew his apprentice well; anything harmful to the nation would never be done.

“May I say something? I cast a divination, and the hexagram shows rebirth. Our apprentice may still be alive?” Seventh brother, who had remained silent, was immediately surrounded as he spoke.

“Speak clearly, seventh brother,” the eldest said sternly.

Seventh brother’s doubt meant he was uncertain. Even he was unsure about the omen, suggesting something suspicious.

“Wait, maybe there’s good news!”

“Brother, order all communication channels to be opened.”

No one questioned further; if seventh brother said so—
