C3 You’re No Better Than An Animal

Satisfied with her response, Qian Feng nodded his head and said, “Alright, go ahead and untie Miss Xia.”

After she got out of the car, Xia Yun studied the Civil Affairs Bureau building in front of her and the look in her eyes swirled with confusion. Was this really her fate? Was she going to get married right at this moment?

After they walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau, Xia Yun followed Qian Feng closely behind to a window. Next, he pointed to an empty seat and said, “Here.”

Xia Yun looked around the room she was in and saw a man dressed in black sitting right next to her. Xia Yun glanced at the side of his face. He had thick eyebrows, dark pupils, a tall nose, and lips that were very eye-pleasing.

“This is Mr. Lu.” Qian Feng went out of his way to introduce her to the man beside her.

Xia Yun blinked her eyes out of disbelief. This was the pervert they had been talking about?

Although the words “big belly” and “old age” had nothing to do with him, the word “pervert” still fitted his description.

At that moment, the man turned his head to reveal a perfect face that looked like it was carved from the hand of a skilled craftsman. As if sensing Xia Yun was looking at him, his black eyes turned to Xia Yun, taking in her appearance.

She did not appreciate his indifferent gaze. It was like she was a commodity he was only sizing up.

Xia Yun was about to express her anger when something stopped her. She seemed to have come across this face before. But where was it? Though it was very familiar to her, as much as she tried to recall it, she could not seem to remember where she had seen this face before.

“Please take out your ID and household register.”

The office staff smiled and gently reminded them.

Qian Feng proceeded to then take out two household registers from his pocket.

Just as Xia Yun was wondering how these people got their hands on her household register, her eyes fell on the name on the man’s household register.

The name on the card read, Lu Fengting.

This man was none other than Lu Fengting!

He was well-known in the fashion industry as a famous designer.

His AM brand was recognized worldwide for its beautiful and elegant design. In just a few short years, it rose to such success, it became known as one of the most popular international brands currently available. His annual press conference was so sought after that many people fought for the coveted spot to attend such an event.

A few years ago, the domestic television station in the area paid him good money so that they could interview him. Once the interview aired, the viewership ratings were through the roof - the highest since that television station first started.

Xia Yun had been among the millions who saw that interview.

Could it be possible that the prestigious AM brand belonged to the Lu Group? And that the Mr. Lu Qian Feng was talking about happen to be Lu Fengting?

Good heavens!

Xia Yun could not help but stare blankly at Lu Fengting, who was sitting right across from her. For a moment, she was lost in thought, though Lu Fengting did not seem to be fazed by her stare.

Seeing Xia Yun so starstruck, Qian Feng felt very satisfied by Xia Yun’s reaction. After all, this man had always been charming. Any woman would find Lu Fengting’s charm irresistible.

Lu Fengting could not help but frown slightly. Xia Yun’s reaction was just like any of the other women he would come across, which made him somewhat dislike her. He was just about to say something when he saw Xia Yun cover up her expression with something that proved to be passably normal. Her eyes also became two frost pinpoints.

Suddenly Xia Yun’s red lips slightly parted and out of mouth came out the words, “Pretending to act nicely in front of people but behind closed doors hides a beast.”

Xia Yun would never have thought that the fashion architect hailed by the international media as the most outstanding designer in the next 50 years would actually turn out to be a pervert who kidnapped children and forced women!

Xia Yun could not pretend that the lofty image of Lu Fengting that she carried in her heart would be instantly shattered.

No matter how talented and distinguished a man was, what was the point if his character was immoral?

“Are you comparing me to a beast?”

Lu Fengting muttered this in a low voice. If he wasn't absolutely sure of his hearing, he would have thought the comment had been a mere illusion.

He lowered his head so that he was facing directly in front of Xia Yun and said in a voice as cold as ice. “What did you just say? Repeat it to me again!”

Lu Fengting’s cold voice made Xia Yun shiver imperceptibly. His coldness always had that effect on people.

After a while, Xia Yun turned away and steered her gaze in the other direction. Ning was still in his hands. She knew that she was not making things any easier for her kindergarten student and decided to swallow her pride and go along with what these people had planned.

Qian Feng saw that the time was right and said to the staff, “Please move forward with the formalities.”

A red stamp was punched onto the marriage license.

Xia Yun held the red marriage license in front of her and looked at the photo of her and Lu Fengting smiling into the camera. If what the marriage license said was true, she and Lu Fengting were indeed married. She could not believe it!
