"I just married for convenience, what can you do about it?" Lin Ruxian laughed like a weasel that had just stolen a chicken.
Li Hong looked dazed, unsure whether Lin Ruxian was joking or being serious.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, I am." Lin Ruxian was unusually earnest.
Li Hong fell silent, even he didn't know why he was quiet. Perhaps it was one of those rare moments when he lost his composure.
Lin Ruxian sensed Li Hong's silence and felt an inexplicable anxiety rising within her. She could only hold onto Li Hong tightly, afraid that this man might leave her.
The car came to a stop, enveloped in a heavy silence. The two young adults sat in the vehicle without uttering a word.
The atmosphere was eerily quiet!
Lin Ruxian's eyes reddened slightly as she weakly suggested, "How about we go back and get a divorce…"
Li Hong lit a cigarette and quietly said amidst the swirling smoke, "No need for that. It wouldn't be good for you if this got out."
"But you…" Lin Ruxian hesitated.
She could tell that Li Hong was struggling to accept this reality. Although what she did was somewhat despicable, it was indeed to win Li Hong's affection. If Li Hong truly didn't want this, then Lin Ruxian wouldn't insist; she would choose to let go.
"Actually, after Sister Wang suggested we get married, I didn't immediately refuse. I had already started thinking about it. It's just that I still can't see myself clearly," Li Hong tried to open up for the first time.
Lin Ruxian felt a flicker of hope and hurriedly asked, "So, you do like me, right? I knew it; you must like me!"
"No, my feelings for you are merely those of friendship. If I had to put it bluntly, you're just a substitute for someone else."
"Can I ask who that person is?" Lin Ruxian asked dejectedly.
Li Hong nodded and then spoke in a dull tone, "That person I don't know either, the one who heartlessly abandoned Yuchen's mother. You should be able to guess who it is."
"Yuchen's mom?" Lin Ruxian exclaimed in surprise.
He had expected to hear the name of someone Li Hong deeply loved, but instead, it was Yuchen's mother. Moreover, this woman was someone Li Hong didn't even know by name and had never met.
"Yes, I've always thought you resemble Yuchen's mother. The reason I didn't refuse Sister Wang's suggestion was simply because I had this thought in mind. In fact, during my time with Yuchen, I've felt that not having a woman at home isn't good for her growth. So..."
"So you want me to take on the role of Yuchen's mother, is that it?" Lin Ruxian asked with a mix of laughter and exasperation.
Li Hong nodded; that was indeed his intention, and it was hard to hide it from Lin Ruxian.
Lin Ruxian lifted her head from Li Hong's embrace and said seriously, "You've always been thinking about Yuchen. Can't you think about yourself for once?"
"I adopted her; I should be responsible for her!" Li Hong frowned.
Lin Ruxian laughed, even she didn't know why she found it amusing.
"I understand now. I'll take on this role of a mother seriously. But just wait, I'll show you that I can be more than just a mother; I can be a perfect wife," Lin Ruxian declared confidently.
Li Hong glanced at Lin Ruxian and sighed, "I hope so. As long as you can do what you say, I have no reason to refuse you."
Rolling her eyes at Li Hong, Lin Ruxian retorted playfully, "Don't flatter yourself. Just watch; I will make you fall in love with me sooner or later. By then, it'll be me cruelly rejecting you. So don't come crying to me!"
Li Hong chuckled, "I'll be waiting for that."
Their conversation seemed to define the nature of this joking marriage.
Li Hong needed Lin Ruxian to play the role of a mother for Yuchen, while Lin Ruxian equally needed this fragile marriage to bind Li Hong to her.
Both were getting what they needed; as for how things would develop in the future, no one could tell.
The car slowly pulled away from the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the two people inside were no longer silent.
After dropping Lin Ruxian off at home, Li Hong was about to drive away when his phone vibrated with a notification.
"You have a new mention!"
A red dot flashed on the Weibo icon. Li Hong opened it and discovered that Lin Ruxian, whom he followed, had posted a new update.
"Hehe, just got our marriage certificate! @Li Hong"
The post included a photo of their marriage certificate, prominently featuring a sweet picture of Li Hong and Lin Ruxian together.
As soon as this Weibo post went live, countless heart-wrenching comments flooded in below.
"No way, my goddess is actually married? Does that mean my dream of earning money to marry Lin Ruxian is over?"
"I don't agree with this marriage!"
"I knew Li Hong was in cahoots with our Lin Ruxian, but I never expected it to be like this! Heartbroken."
"Ahhh, Lin Ruxian, you’re kidding me, right? This can’t be real!"
"*** is married now; I dodged the bullet of being cheated on. Who would have thought I still couldn't escape that fate here?"
Among these comments, Li Hong, the male lead in this event, could not escape the fate of being criticized by countless netizens.
Many directly @Li Hong, demanding he come out and explain himself.
Some even went so far as to reveal his address, planning to send him a wedding gift.
Even Li Hong's Weibo attracted many fans of Lin Ruxian who came to see what kind of man could possibly take their goddess away.
Suddenly, various posts speculating about Li Hong's identity flooded the internet, capturing the public's attention.
Some people confidently asserted that Li Hong was the heir to a large domestic conglomerate, with a fortune in the billions.
Others refuted this view, arguing that Li Hong was definitely not just a wealthy second-generation rich kid.
Some even deduced from Li Hong's name that his father was a top political figure in the country, and that Li Hong himself was an emerging star in the political arena.
Interestingly, these far-fetched speculations, which seemed absurd to those in the know, actually drew quite a crowd.
Everyone believed that Li Hong was certainly not an ordinary person; he was either an incredibly wealthy second-generation heir or part of a powerful political family. Amidst all these guesses, no one managed to uncover Li Hong's true identity; instead, the theories became increasingly outrageous.
Li Hong regarded these online speculations as mere jokes. He never expected people's imaginations to run so wild, even suggesting he was a descendant of aliens. Honestly, it felt like a waste of talent that these individuals weren't writing for Zhongdian Chinese Network instead.
