Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Does Your Wife Know About This?

Just as she saw this, the music in the mall changed, switching to a merry and lively “Marry Me Today”.

Another group of people ran out, and upon closer inspection, they were all members of the climbing team.

Their uniforms were neat and tidy, each person holding two pom-poms, doing cheerleader routines while chanting: “Marry him, marry him!”

The surrounding crowd also gathered to watch, driven by a curiosity that delights in spectacles, they joined in shouting: “Marry him, marry him!”

Seeing this scene, Xi Wanlin felt a slight stir in her heart, but only a tiny bit.

She calmly asked Lu Lei, “When did you arrange all this?”

“I arranged it yesterday to surprise you. Linlin, marry me. Let me take care of you for the rest of your life!” Lu Lei said excitedly.

Then, he knelt on one knee and took out a ring from his pocket.

Xi Wanlin’s heart might have fluttered, but she did not want to get married.

She had just divorced and although she had been with Lu Lei for this period, she merely saw him as a tool for distraction.

Moreover, she had still not made up her mind about keeping the baby. Deep down, she harbored a hint of hope–what if the child was Li Hengze’s?

If that were the case, wouldn’t she be able to rekindle her past relationship with Li Hengze?

She stared at the ring in Lu Lei’s hand, at a loss.

Seeing that Xi Wanlin did not immediately accept, Lu Lei took out a letter from his pocket and started reading: “Dear Linlin, my girl, the one I’ve liked since my youth, do you know how much I love you? Those were the verdant years, when you were still a girl, and my gaze would always follow you…”

The letter was read with deep emotion, and at this moment, Xi Wanlin was finally moved.

After all, Lu Lei wasn’t that bad; he looked much better than Li Hengze, and he had his own company. Although it wasn’t big, at least they’d be provided for.

Furthermore, with the crowd’s goading voices getting louder and louder, Xi Wanlin couldn’t bear to let Lu Lei keep kneeling there, so she finally extended her hand, letting him put the ring on her finger.

After Lu Lei excitedly put the ring on her finger, he asked again, “Linlin, shall we go get our marriage certificate tomorrow, okay?”

Xi Wanlin hesitated again.

She felt there was no need to rush.

“Linlin, please agree!” Lu Lei embraced her and said, “I want to become your legal husband and take care of you.”

After a while, Xi Wanlin nodded her head.

So be it; she’ll just go all in.

Seeing that Xi Wanlin had finally agreed, he excitedly picked her up, spun three times to the left, three times to the right, then thanked his climbing teammates, and amidst the blessings of the spectators, he carried Xi Wanlin out of the mall.

…

After leaving the mall, Li Hengze went to the bar.

The bar hadn’t opened yet, and he lay at the back, idly scrolling through his phone.

Even though he knew that Xi Wan wasn’t in love with him, seeing her with Lu Lei, appearing so cozy together, still made him feel a mix of anger and sorrow.

On the social video app, it was possible to come across local videos, and just as he was scrolling, a proposal video popped up in front of him.

In the midst of chants of “marry me, marry me,” Xi Wanlin agreed to Lu Lei’s proposal, and then Lu Lei carried Xi Wanlin out of the mall.

Such an intimate act pierced Li Hengze’s heart with pain.

Indeed, this pair was true love.

He had to let go of her completely.

…

Xi Wanlin, due to pregnancy, despite Lu Lei’s romantic proposal, still refused to sleep with him at night.

First three months of pregnancy are very dangerous; furthermore, she was conflicted about whether or not to keep the baby.

Lu Lei didn’t force her; he just kept touching her, almost going all the way.

“Linlin, you are my woman!”

“Linlin, I want you to belong to me forever, and I will never let another man touch you!”

“Linlin, in life you are mine, in death you are my ghost!”

Lu Lei kept touching her while shouting excitedly.

Xi Wanlin didn’t take these bed-talking seriously; the more he said it, the more it showed he cared about her.

“Linlin, we must get our marriage certificate tomorrow!” Lu Lei burst out, ejaculating outside.

The next day, Lu Lei prepared all the documents early in the morning.

But Xi Wanlin no longer wanted to register their marriage, she said to Lu Lei: “How about we wait a bit longer? I just feel like the timing isn’t right yet.”

“What’s wrong with the timing? I think today is just perfect.” Lu Lei clung onto her, coquettishly saying: “Linlin, you promised yourself we’d get the certificate today. If you don’t go, then I won’t eat today, I’ll starve myself.”

Xi Wanlin found him somewhat funny, unable to withstand his persistent nagging; she had no choice but to agree.

All the way there, she didn’t speak at all.

She knew she was resistant inside; although Lu Lei was good to her now, he had broken up her and Li Hengze, wrecking her originally beautiful marriage.

But then she thought about his recent behaviour; he had been really good to her.

Anyway, she was going to get married eventually, might as well choose someone who loves her.

It didn’t take too long to complete the marriage registration; after coming out, she held another marriage certificate in her hand.

It was not even a year since she last held a marriage certificate.

In less than a year, so many things had happened; life truly is unpredictable.

“Linlin, now you are truly my wife!” Lu Lei was very excited, hugging Xi Wanlin, first spinning her around three times to the left, then three times to the right.

Just as they finished spinning, a wavy-haired woman passing by mocked in a derisive tone, “Yo, isn’t this the scammer who lied to me about registering for marriage last time? Have you finally found someone to fall for your trap? Someone willing to register the marriage with you?”

The woman was also there to register for marriage, her husband standing by her side.

Lu Lei glanced at this woman, his eyes seeming murderous: “Who are you? Are we familiar?”

“What are you pretending for?” The woman didn’t look at Lu Lei, but turned to Xi Wanlin: “Did he deceive you into going mountain climbing? Let me tell you, their climbing group is very chaotic, often luring naive girls into climbing, then they all collectively cover it up, claiming you’re the first girl he’s brought, pshaw, who knows how many there have been in between.”

Xi Wanlin was stunned.

The wavy-haired woman continued, “First he lures you to hike, then leaves you to rest in the tent, everyone else finding excuses to stay far away, then he comes in, and you know what happens next, and then he sweet-talks you, saying that you are his favorite woman.”

Xi Wanlin’s complexion changed.

This whole scenario was exactly the same.

She was saying, how could a man like Lu Lei keep waiting for her? There must have been girlfriends in between.

She originally didn’t mind; a person her age without a romantic history would be abnormal, but she didn’t expect, the way Lu Lei pursued her was the same as with others.

Lu Lei became furiously embarrassed, and yelled at the wavy-haired woman, “Aren’t you here to get a certificate today? Do you feel proud confessing that you’ve had an affair with me in front of your own husband? Can’t you let go of me?”

The wavy-haired woman replied, “Let go of you? Do you think you’re some kind of prize? And, my husband knows about my past, but does your wife know about yours?”
