Blue Star, Huaguo.
Lin Tian looked at the nearby café.
"Grandpa, aren't you harming me?"
Lin Tian sighed as he squeezed the paper heart folded in his pocket with resignation.
The paper was a marriage contract, arranged by his grandfather and a comrade-in-arms. They agreed that if they had a son and a daughter, they would marry each other. If they had only sons, their grandchildren would marry each other.
As a result, Lin Tian was the only grandson on his side, while his comrade-in-arms had a granddaughter, Luo Bingning.
Lin Tian had seen Luo Bingning's photo before, and it was no exaggeration to say that no celebrity on TV was as beautiful as her.
He also found out online that the Luo family's assets exceeded tens of billions. That was just what was publicly available; their actual wealth could be even more.
"Coming here is just asking for trouble, isn't it?" Lin Tian thought to himself as he walked towards the café.
Before his grandfather passed away, he gave him a phone number.
Three days ago, he called and arranged to meet Luo Bingning here.
Entering the café, amidst the curious glances of many men, Lin Tian saw Luo Bingning sitting quietly in the corner.
Perhaps Luo Bingning's aura was too strong, as no one dared to approach her.
Lin Tian walked over.
Amidst the surprised looks of some people, he sat down across from Luo Bingning.
"Hello, I'm Lin Tian."
"I asked you to come today to talk about the marriage contract."
Lin Tian spoke.
Luo Bingning nodded slightly, "Go on."
Lin Tian took out the marriage contract, "Back then, my grandfather and your grandfather were good friends, and they arranged this marriage contract. But times have changed."
"Let's just forget about this marriage contract."
"My grandfather asked me to meet you before he passed away to clarify things."
Luo Bingning looked at Lin Tian in surprise, "You don't want to marry me?"
Lin Tian said self-deprecatingly, "I know my place. Your Luo family is thriving, while my Lin family is just ordinary. We are not from the same world."
"That's it then, I'll treat you to coffee."
After saying that, Lin Tian prepared to leave.
"I told you on the phone to bring your household registration booklet, did you bring it?" Luo Bingning asked.
Lin Tian nodded slightly. He guessed that Luo Bingning wanted to help him transfer his household registration as compensation. It was difficult to obtain a household registration in City S, and he really needed one. If Luo Bingning took the initiative to help him transfer his household registration, Lin Tian wouldn't refuse. Having a household registration in City S would make it much easier for his future children to go to school.
"Then let's go register."
Luo Bingning said.
"Huh?" Lin Tian couldn't believe his ears.
Did Luo Bingning just say they should go register together?
"What did you say?"
Luo Bingning replied, "Since our grandfathers arranged this marriage contract, I should honor it. The Luo family never breaks its word."
Lin Tian stared at Luo Bingning strangely.
"You don't even know if I have a girlfriend, and we're going to register now?"
Luo Bingning smiled faintly, "You may not know me well, but I know you. You've been single for twenty-three years."
Lin Tian: "..."
"Luo Bingning, why?" Lin Tian asked with a frown after a while.
What kind of man couldn't Luo Bingning find? He was just ordinary, and she had ten thousand reasons to refuse this marriage. Was she trying to have a child? But with Luo Bingning's conditions, there would probably be countless men willing. Luo Bingning could find thousands of people with much better conditions than him.
"I said, the Luo family keeps its word."
Luo Bingning said solemnly.
Lin Tian looked hesitant, and Luo Bingning said softly, "Don't worry, I'm not sick, and I'm not pregnant with someone else's child. I'm not asking you to be a scapegoat. After we get married, we can live together, but I won't fulfill wifely duties. If we still have no feelings after three years, we'll dissolve the marriage contract."
Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, "That's reassuring to hear you say that."
"Are you sure you want to marry me?"
If Luo Bingning insisted, Lin Tian wouldn't oppose anymore, even if they couldn't be together, just looking at Luo Bingning's appearance would be pleasing every day.
"Sure."
Luo Bingning nodded.
The two of them left the café.
In Luo Bingning's Porsche, they arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau half an hour later, and soon they obtained a brand new marriage certificate.
As they walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lin Tian looked somewhat dazed.
He actually got married like this, and his marriage partner was Luo Bingning, a wealthy beauty.
"Lin Tian, you should cancel the rental of your current apartment."
"I bought a house as our marital home, you can live there. I'll also buy you a car for commuting to work."
Back in Luo Bingning's car, she said.
"Do you live there too?"
Lin Tian asked.
Luo Bingning nodded slightly, "I go home every day. To others, we're just a normal couple. You can also introduce me to your friends."
Lin Tian turned to look at Luo Bingning, "What should I call you from now on? And how should we behave in front of others since we're a married couple now?"
Luo Bingning blushed slightly.
"You can call me Bingning. Since we're now married, simple gestures like hugging or holding hands, I... I won't refuse."
Lin Tian smiled. He could tell from Luo Bingning's voice that she was trembling slightly.
Luo Bingning wasn't as indifferent as she appeared to be on the surface.
"My current shabby apartment isn't suitable for you. I'll live in the house you bought. As for buying me a car, let's forget about that. I'll just take the subway."
Lin Tian said and closed his eyes.
He needed to take a break and digest everything that happened today. It felt like a dream.
After half an hour, the car drove into an upscale neighborhood.
"These three parking spaces are ours. You can park your car here."
After parking the car, Luo Bingning said.
Lin Tian nodded. He didn't know when he would have a car; his bank card protected a six-digit password for a meager four-digit deposit.
"The elevator is three elevators per unit, and the third elevator is specifically for the nanny."
Luo Bingning explained.
Lin Tian was amazed. In the current neighborhood where he rented, there were three households per elevator, while in the house where rich people lived, there was one elevator per household.
Having money was really nice.
Soon, the elevator took them to the twentieth floor.
"Lin Tian, come in."
"The area of this house is three hundred and sixty square meters. Although it's not as big as a villa, it should be enough for just the two of us."
Luo Bingning opened the door.
Lin Tian entered the house, staring blankly at Luo Bingning.
Above Luo Bingning's head appeared a silver treasure chest
.
As Luo Bingning moved, the silver treasure chest above her head moved as well.
"What's going on?"
Lin Tian rubbed his eyes.
The silver treasure chest was still there.
"Lin Tian, what's wrong?"
Luo Bingning looked at Lin Tian in confusion.
Lin Tian coughed lightly, "Bingning, since we got married today, can we hug? So it won't be awkward when we're outside in the future."
Luo Bingning stared at Lin Tian.
"Lin Tian, don't mess around. I've learned martial arts. Even two or three strong men together wouldn't be my match."
Lin Tian nodded, "Don't worry, it's just a simple hug."
"Okay then."
Luo Bingning took a deep breath.
Lin Tian stepped forward and hugged Luo Bingning.
His head touched the silver treasure chest above Luo Bingning's head.
"Ding, treasure chest system activated, silver treasure chest opened."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Grandmaster-level martial arts."
