Qi Shenbai glanced at her. “I might not be able to make it tomorrow. I have to go overseas for about a week. I’m back today for a change of clothes.”

...

“That long?” Xu Jiaojiao frowned. She looked even more worried than he was. “We can’t let the rumors on the Internet continue to fester.”

If they left things alone and waited for Qi Shenbai to return in a week, his company’s share prices might fall to rock bottom. It would not be so easy to recover their losses then.

Qi Shenbai thought it over for a moment. “Do you have a passport?” Xu Jiaojiao nodded in confusion. She had planned to go to Japan for a trip, but other things got in the way.

“Go to your room and pack some clothes. Then give me your ID and passport.”

“Huh? Why should I pack some clothes?” Xu Jiaojiao was baffled.

“Let’s go abroad together. We can register our marriage overseas,” Qi Shenbai said.

“But 1 don’t have a visa.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Leave it to me.” Qi Shenbai’s deep voice was like a cello, elegant and magnetic, inexplicably calming her anxious heart.

An hour later, Xu Jiaojiao was boarding a private jet with Qi Shenbai. Aside from Pei Yan and Cang Xing, there were a few other people in suits traveling with them. These guys were probably Qi Shenbai’s subordinates.

Xu Jiaojiao sat by the window and took a cup of coffee from the flight attendant. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the man who was having a conference call not far away. She could not help but ask curiously, “Where are we going?”

The flight attendant smiled politely at her and replied softly, “Ireland.”

In Dublin, Ireland, Xu Jiaojiao followed Qi Shenbai into the hotel’s premium suite.

When choosing a room, Qi Shenbai told her ladies first, so he let her choose a room while he took the room opposite hers. The other colleagues stayed in the suite next door.

As everyone walked into the room, the company’s higher-ups were still trying to figure out Mr. Qi’s intentions. They probed, “The company has never had any business dealings in Ireland. Did Mr. Qi bring us here to expand into a new area?”

These people had received a last-minute notice that they were going on a business trip. They packed their luggage and went straight to the airport in the middle of the night. Those who had wives at home were even accused of going overseas to rendezvous with their mistresses. It almost escalated into a divorce.

Pei Yan forced an awkward smile. There is something important to handle on this trip.”

He was the only one present who knew the inside story. Mr. Qi’s marriage was of utmost importance, of course!

The higher-ups of the company could not help but feel nervous. “What’s the general direction? What should we prepare?”

“Um… You don’t have to worry about that.” Pei Yan paused for a moment. Under their nervous and excited gazes, he said mysteriously, “Just wait for your instructions. If there’s anything you need to do, Mr. Qi will tell you in advance.” “Of course, of course! We’ll definitely do our best!”

“If Mr. Qi reveals some insider information, keep us in the loop, Mr. Pei!”

Pei Yan smiled and nodded. He knew the inside story, but he had to keep it a secret. It was really suffocating!!!

Early the next morning, Qi Shenbai brought Xu Jiao jiao to the marriage registration office. Pei Yan had already prepared all the necessary information and documents for marriage registration in Ireland and handed them over to the staff.

The staff member flipped through the documents, then raised her head and spoke to Qi Shenbai and Xu Jiaojiao in what seemed like complete gibberish to the girl.

“???” Xu Jiaojiao did not understand a single word, so she could only look at the man beside her.

Qi Shenbai leaned in and whispered in her ear, “She said that the marriage duration here is optional. One year, ten years, a hundred years. The longer the duration, the lower the fee. The shorter the duration, the higher the fee. She asked us how long we want to choose.”

Xu Jiaojiao widened her eyes in disbelief. This was the first time she had heard that one could choose a time limit for their marriage certificate. It felt unbelievable. “Really?”

Qi Shenbai nodded. “A year’s engagement costs ten thousand dollars, but a hundred years will only cost a few dozen Chinese yuan.”

“Then of course we’ll go for the second option!” Xu Jiaojiao replied without hesitation. “To think that we’d have to spend ten thousand dollars to get married! When we return to China, people will think that we’ve lost our minds.” Anyway, once the storm subsided, she and Qi Shenbai could still come over for a divorce next year. They could even think of it as a holiday trip.

The corners of Qi Shenbai’s lips curled up slightly. “Alright, then I’ll go with a hundred years.”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded solemnly.

Qi Shenbai raised his head and told the staff the marriage duration they had chosen in perfect English. The staff nodded with a smile and immediately went through the procedures for them.

Pei Yan, who was standing by the side, watched helplessly as his boss tricked the innocent little rabbit into marrying him for a few dozen yuan. As expected, he really was the Big Bad Wolf..
