''Jian Ran, this is my bank card. The password is 131224. You can decide what you want to buy at home.''
Several hours had already passed, and Jian Ran's ears were still ringing with the words of her newly we'd husband when he passed her a bank card before they left the room in the morning.
To be honest, she knew very little about the man who was her husband.
Other than him personally telling her that his surname was Qin, she didn't know anything else about him. She didn't even know much about his family.
Jian Ran didn't know where she got the guts to marry a man she had only met twice before.
Ten days ago, with the warm help of her best friend Ling Feiyu, Jian Ran stepped onto the road of matchmaking the first time, and met this man called Qin Yue.
She didn't have any hopes of getting revenge. After all, after being framed three years ago, she didn't have the qualification to be picky with others.
Because she couldn't be picky about others, she was fifteen minutes early on the day of the blind date.
If they couldn't gain an advantage in terms of their own conditions, they could only perform better in other areas hoping to leave a good impression on other party.
Marry yourself if you can meet the right man, and you can put your parents at ease.
The man she was going to meet was neither too early nor too late.
The man dressed in formal attire made others feel that he attached great importance to this blind date, making Jian Ran feel that her first impression of him was not bad.
The way he greeted was also very normal, 'Miss. Jian, hello! I am Qin Yue.'
It was a very normal sentence, but because his voice was extremely magnetic, it made Jian Ran feel that it was unusually nice to hear.
After a simple and ordinary conversation the two politely left their phone numbers before leaving.
With the number of blind dates, Jian Ran did not think much of this either.
She thought that this blind date would end up the same as many times before, but unexpectedly, she received a call from Qin Yue two days later.
His voice was still polite and respectful, 'Miss Jian, ate you free tonight?'
That night, Qin Yue invited her to a Sichuan cuisine restaurant for dinner.
Jian Ran didn't really like such an awkward situation like matchmaking, so she spoke very little during the banquet.
Originally, she wanted to find an excuse to leave first. After some hesitation, Qin Yue spoke up first, 'Miss Jian, I have time next Wednesday, so how about we go get the marriage certificate?'
'What, what kind of certificate?' Jian Ran was shocked by Qin Yue's words.
'The marriage certificate.' he repeated, in a tone so serious that it didn't sound like. A joke at all.
'A marriage certificate?' Jian Ran still could not believe what she heard. She placed her hand on her left thigh and pinched it hard, confirming that she was not dreaming. Only then did she seriously sized up the man in front of her.
Qin Yue had a pair of thick, sword like eyebrows, bright and spirited eyes, and even more so, the shape of his face was as beautiful as if it were carved. He was one of those that could be found in the crowd of teens of thousands of people.
This was the second time they had met,and he had said that he wanted to marry her?
Then, the man's low and magnetic voice reached her ears, ''I thought Miss Jian was the same as me. The purpose of dating is to form a family, marry and have children and lead a 'normal' life.''
'That's right, I think so, but it's only the second time we have met, don't you think that's too fast?' Jian Ran told her own thoughts. She had wanted to have her own family, but she had never thought that they would be so hasty.
'It is indeed rather fast.' Qin Yue's expression remained calm as he continued, 'After our first meeting, I went back to consider for two days. The first feeling Miss Jian gave me was not bad. I personally felt that the two of us didn't have any conflict in personality, so I wanted to give it a try.'
Jian Ran slightly frowned, and was a little displeased,' Marriage is not a child's play in my opinion. Try it? If you don't try well, do you want…'
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Qin Yue interrupted her, 'Miss Jian, we are all adults, so naturally we would not expect a' love that doesn't exist. We clearly know what we want in our hearts.'
Jian Ran did not reply, she stared straight at Qin Yue's face. From the surface, this man seemed calm and unassuming, as if he was a good match for marriage.
However, could she really place the rest of a life in the hands of this man she had only met twice?
Is it really possible?
Seeing her hesitation, Qin Yue continued, 'Perhaps I was too anxious and did not consider your feelings. If Miss Jian thinks that I am still okay, you can go back and think about it.'
After returning home that day Jian Ran had been thinking about this entire night. She had to admit that she shared the same view as Qin Yue regarding certain points of view, such as the impossible love.
After being so deeply hurt she could no longer believe that there was love in the world.
The next morning Jian Ran dialed Qin Yue's number and agreed to his proposal.
That morning, Jian Ran took the household book and in afternoon they went to the Marriage Registration Office to register with each other.
When she and Qin Yue walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with their marriage certificate she had a kind of indescribable feeling in her heart.
It was said that marriage was a woman's second life, and now it seemed that it was not as simple as it seemed. The nine pieces of Nine Collars Certificate had carved a special imprint that belonged to Qin Yue in her life.
Yesterday was the day Jian Ran moved to Qin Yue's place.
Last night, Qin Yue had also acted very well and took the initiative to leave the master bedroom for her to rest, while he rested in other bedroom.
Jian Ran never thought that Qin Yue would give her his bank card before he left the house in the morning today.
She still couldn't understand him, so how could he be so confident about handing over his all possessions to her?
'Jian Ran, all the reporters from the major media are waiting inide. The people from the board of directors and the new CEO are about to arrive, what are you staring at now?'
The manager of the PR Department, Xu Youai's stern voice interrupted Jian Ran's train of thought, causing her to retract his train of thoughts. She spoke with a serious attitude, 'Manager Xu, I'm sorry, I will pat attention.'
Xu Youai looked at Jian Ran, and said sternly : "Jian Ran, although you ate Operations Department's employee, your manager has sent you here to assist our Public Relations Department, you better watch out, and not hold me back."
Jian Ran pursed her lips and nodded : "Manager Xu, I was distracted just now. I would never let this happen again."
Xu Youai looked at Jian Ran again before turning his gaze away. He then clapped his hands and called the staff who were in the charge of receiving the guests to come over.
"Everyone, keep your spirits up. We must have a beautiful press conference today. We can't afford even the slightest mistake." As Xu Youai spoke, he looked at every single staff member seriously.
"Yes." The PR Department that was in charge of receiving the guests and the colleagues that were sent to support them replied in unison.
Xu Youai's gaze landed on Jian Ran in the end, "Jian Ran, I heard that you are the best employee in your profession. In a while, you will follow beside the new CEO and take charge of his work. You don't have to worry about other matters."
Jian Ran nodded her head, but before she replied, Ma Dannuo, a look of schadenfreude appeared on her face: "Jian Ran, if our new CEO is not married, will you get lucky?"
To put it nicely, there was a chance to get close to the new CEO, but everyone knew that this was a hot potato, and no one was willing to pick Jian Ran up.
Xu Youai said with a straight face as he glared at Ma Dannuo, "Today might be related to the rest of us staying and staying, you guys better be more serious."
After being scolded by Xu Youai, no one made a sound. Jian Ran took a deep breath quietly, trying her best to get into her best condition.
It couldn't be blamed that Xu Youai was nervous, since this matter happened so suddenly.
Just when everyone thought that the company was at peace, the board of directors suddenly released a message that the CEO was going to be taken over by a new person.
However, the incoming big BOSS was extremely mysterious. The people in charge of each department had tried to ask about it through various channels, but they hadn't found any information about it.
Jian Ran was not a person who liked to join in on the fun, so she could not help but stretch her neck out to look at the entrance, wanting to see who this big boss was.
"He's here, he's here! All the directors and new CEO s are here!" The receptionist's voice came from the walkie-talkie into the ears of all the staff.
The colleagues couldn't help but straighten their clothes and respectfully stood at their posts.
Jian Ran followed closely behind Xu Youai, welcoming the mysterious big BOSS that everyone was waiting for.
After taking a few steps, he saw a man wearing a silver-gray suit. He was escorted by a few men in black suits. The man walked with graceful steps in the direction of the publication hall.
It didn't matter if she looked, but once she looked, Jian Ran was stunned.
The tall man who walked right in front of the crowd and wore a silver grey suit was clearly her new husband - - Qin Yue!
"Impossible!" Jian Ran thought that she was hallucinating and immediately closed her eyes and shook her head to wake up.
But when he opened his eyes and looked again, that man's appearance still hadn't changed.
If it was someone else, she might have been mistaken, but this was her new husband, so she couldn't be mistaken.
His face was as perfect as a knife. He had a height of 1.8 meters, a muscular build, and an unwittingly noble elegance as he walked.
Either way, the man was exactly the same as her new husband.
"Q-Qin Yue?!" Jian Ran glared at the man and subconsciously called out his name.
As if hearing her voice, the man's gaze shifted to her.
Facing his gaze, Jian Ran was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe.
She would never have thought that her 'ordinary' newlywed husband would suddenly become the new CEO of her company.
She looked at him, her head buzzing like a bloomed flower.
The man's gaze stayed on her for a moment before shifting away. It was so cold that it seemed as if he didn't know her at all.
In the face of his indifference, Jian Ran's heart quickly sank.
He was clearly Qin Yue, his new husband. Why was he looking at her with such a cold gaze?
In just a short moment, all sorts of thoughts had flashed across Jian Ran's mind.
The closest thing to reality was that she thought this moment was a dream. An unrealistic dream.
Qin Yue was always gentle and refined, his speech and actions were very polite, he would never pretend not to know him.
She quickly pinched herself, and the pain made her twitch her mouth. She then realized that this was not a dream, but what she had just experienced.
Since this wasn't a dream, then there was another possibility. It was that this man only had the same face as Qin Yue, but was actually completely different from him.
Xu Youai forcefully pulled Jian Ran and scolded him in a low voice: "Jian Ran, what kind of occasion is this, what are you doing?"
Jian Ran was like she had just awoken from a dream, and she was slightly annoyed herself.
Xu Youai scolded his in a small voice: "Hurry up and catch up."
Jian Ran nodded and quickly followed behind the new CEO. At the same time, he had already concealed his own emotions and was using his professional identity to face the BOSS who looked like her new husband.
Xu Youai quickened his pace to catch up to the group of the new CEO, and opened the door of the reporter reception hall for them: "Please welcome all the directors and new CEO!"
Just as Xu Youai's loud and passionate voice fell, the huge press conference hall burst into applause. Everyone stared at the entrance, waiting for the mysterious big BOSS to appear.
Jian Ran quietly took a deep breath and followed closely behind the big BOSS. When the big BOSS sat down, she neatly handed over the information she had prepared.
Even if she had professional upbringing, the impact of the company's new BOSS being her new husband was still too great. Her hands accidentally trembled and the data in her hands dropped off two books.
Just as Jian Ran was about to squat down and pick up the folder that dropped, Qin Yue bent down to pick it up before she could, and then heard him whisper in her ear: "Wait for me at home tonight."
If Qin Yue did not say this, Jian Ran could still forcefully take him as someone who looked the same as his husband. Upon saying that, Jian Ran's entire mind went blank, and he dumbfoundedly forgot what to do.
Fortunately, all of the reporters' attention were not on her, giving her some time to adjust her mood.
However, the reporters did not notice her, and the keen-eyed PR staff did not miss this small episode.
The PR Department was ready, all the departments coordinated well, and Qin Yue had enough power to intimidate the audience, so the newly appointed press conference this time would be very successful.
Just as the new CEO left, Ma Dannuo squeezed over: "Jian Ran, you 'accidentally' got rid of the document just now, and have successfully attracted the attention of our new CEO."
Jian Ran frowned, she turned and spoke to Xu Youai: "Manager Xu, I will head back to Operations Department after I finish my work in the PR Department."
Looking at Jian Ran's back, Ma Dannuo stomped her feet in anger: She ignored me, she actually ignored me. Why is she so arrogant? "
Xu Youai glared at Ma Dannuo: "Don't cause trouble every day. If you continue to mess around, the next person to leave will be you. Do your job well if you can. As long as you climb higher than her, you will be qualified to pull. "
Ma Dannuo glared at Jian Ran's retreating back, gritting her teeth in hatred: "Cousin sister, I know."
When Jian Ran returned to the office in Operations Department, she heard her colleagues in the same department discussing about the new CEO.
Everyone started spouting nonsense, as if they knew this new CEO very well.
When her colleague Lin Mei saw Jian Ran, she hurriedly came over. "Jian Ran, you're lucky to be able to stand by CEO's side and work as soon as possible."
Jian Ran smiled lightly: "It's all work, I don't care which side I stay at. If you think that working at CEO is good, in the future, when you encounter things like today, the manager will send you. "
Ye Mei quickly waved her hand, "Although our new CEO is very handsome, but those eyes and aura are not something that little shrimps like us dare to approach."
"The new CEO will come over later to conduct their routine inspection. All of you, return to your positions and work seriously." Operations Department Manager, Zhao Zhao Junqing walked into the office and instructed the people under him.
The new CEO was coming to inspect!
Hearing this news, Jian Ran couldn't help but to gulp down a mouthful of saliva, her heart tensed up to the point of her throat.
She still needed some time to digest the fact that his new husband, Qin Yue, was the company's new CEO, and wasn't ready to face him yet.
The other colleagues had all returned to their seats, but only Jian Ran was still standing there, stunned. She looked at Jian Ran: "Jian Ran, what else do you want?"
"I'm fine." Jian Ran came back to reality and secretly clenched her fists, she immediately went back to her computer to check her customer information.
Not long after, the elevator gave a ring and Qin Yue once again appeared in front of Jian Ran under the escort of a of people.
But thankfully, Qin Yue had only greeted the department staff, and after hearing Zhao Junqing's simple report, he led the group of people away.
After Qin Yue left, the Operations Department became rowdy again. Even the normally calm Zhao Junqing could not help but gossip with everyone.
Everyone was talking about whether this extremely handsome CEO was unmarried or married.
Jian Ran listened to their discussion and did not say a word. She thought that if this group of people found out that CEO's marriage certificate had her name written on it, would she be skinned alive by this group of women?
The day's work time, under the tension and apprehension of the situation, finally passed. After her colleagues left, Jian Ran finished cleaning up.
Now that the work during the day was over, what kind of mentality did she have to face Qin Yue at night?
Jian Ran really did not know, and did not even know whether or not she should return to her "home" with Qin Yue.
After exiting the company, Jian Ran habitually turned right at the entrance B of the subway technology park. After walking for a while, she remembered that she was living with her new husband.
Qin Yue's apartment wasn't far from the technology park's area. The bus only had three stops, and after walking for about half an hour or so, they would arrive.
Jian Ran looked at the time. It was only five o'clock now, and she had not decided how to face Qin Yue in any case. She decided to walk home, and it just so happened that she could think about the two of them.
Returning back to the small district below, Jian Ran decided to buy some vegetables and meat from the fresh supermarket located at the side. No matter how big the problem was, filling one's stomach was the most important.
She didn't know what Qin Yue liked to eat, but she took out her phone to ask him, but since she was worried that he wouldn't be able to pick up the phone easily, she placed her phone back in place.
After choosing the ingredients, he carried them home.
She was still quite a distance away from the elevator when Jian Ran saw an unfamiliar yet familiar figure. He stood straight with her face towards the elevator, wearing a light gray suit that made him look extremely charming.
Qin Yue stood perfectly straight, his figure had a very good ratio. From afar, he looked like a beautiful scenery.
Jian Ran still couldn't understand. Such an outstanding man, and even the CEO of a large company, how could they meet each other?
"You're back." Jian Ran walked over and greeted him in the most normal way possible.
"Yes." Qin Yue turned his head to look at her, but he didn't see any different expression on his face.
Jian Ran returned a faint smile, and stood firmly by his side.
She only glanced at him once and felt
that this man seemed to be different today. She couldn't recall exactly what was different.
Out of the corner of his eyes, he snuck a glance inside. It turned out that he was wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses today. He looked much more stable and reserved.
Jian Ran sighed silently in her heart. This man only spoke a few more words during their second meeting, and normally, they were as precious as gold. She wanted to take the initiative and build closer relations with the two of them, but she didn't know how to do it.
Now that she knew of his shocking identity, Jian Ran didn't know how she should approach Yun Che.
Just as he was thinking, Qin Yue suddenly extended a hand out towards her. Jian Ran instinctively took a small step back, opening up a distance between him and her.
"Leave it to me." He took the bag in her hand without a care in the world.
Jian Ran felt her face grow hot. He had only wanted to help her carry the bag, but where could her imagination have gone?
Looking down at Qin Yue's powerful palm that was holding onto a big bag of stuff, it was as if it was effortless for his to blow away all the dust.
Jian Ran was optimistic. Even if there was no love between them, even if he was the Great CEO of the company, as long as the two of them worked hard enough to manage this marriage, they would still be able to live a good life.
The two of them entered the elevator, and neither of them spoke for the duration of the elevator's operation.
Returning home, Qin Yue placed the items into the kitchen and said indifferently: "I don't really know how to cook, I'll be troubling you tonight."
"Go ahead. Just leave the cooking to me." Jian Ran put away his bag, took off her jacket and put it on.
"Thank you!" He said it lightly.
"You're too polite." Jian Ran forced out a smile, his smile somewhat awkward.
They were already husband and wife, but the way they were getting along was like two strangers.
She took it for granted that her wife would cook for her husband, and his manner of speaking to her unconsciously widened the distance between them.
Jian Ran thought that even if it was a marriage without love as the basis, they shouldn't get along in such a strange way.
Without further ado, she turned around and entered the kitchen. She neatly scooped the rice, cooked, washed the vegetables ...
After a while, Jian Ran caught sight of a tall figure standing at the entrance of the kitchen from the corner of her eyes.
"If there's anything you need help with, just let me know." Qin Yue stood there, straight and upright. His tone was still calm, but it was not hard to tell that he was a little embarrassed.
"Just wait a little longer, I'll be ready soon." Jian Ran looked at the clock on the wall. It was already 7: 30 in the evening, so he was probably hungry.
Tomorrow, he thought, he would come straight back from work. He would finish his meal early, and when he returned home, he would be able to eat the food she cooked herself.
No matter what kind of identity Qin Yue had, this marriage was a choice she made himself. He had to work hard to lead a good life.
