C6 Why Not Get Married?

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing."

Emily rolled her eyes. She was too lazy to pursue the matter and asked directly, "You don't look like someone who would be easily manipulated by the family. Why did you come out for a blind date?"

The man happened to pick up a piece of cooked meat and ate it slowly. His every move was graceful, and Emily couldn't help but sigh at the sight. One could tell a person's family background from their actions.

Patrick then replied unhurriedly, "My grandmother is not in good health. Furthermore, she's already twenty-seven years old. She doesn't have a stable partner. The family is urging her to get married this year."

"Oh, you're in a worse situation than me. I don't have anyone worthy of worrying about. Even if my grandfather wants to commit suicide this year, I won't listen to him. It's a waste of time."

"There are people like this around me. They love to criticize others' lives."

Patrick said indifferently. He then lowered his eyes and sighed, "It's not easy to avoid this. After a long time, I get tired of it."

"Oh."

Emily didn't take it to heart. She ate and drank without any care for her image.

The stimulation of the chili peppers made her lips turn red and swollen. It was so bright that it looked like she had put on a red lipstick. Her face was tender and pure, and she occasionally reached out to fan her mouth. She looked like a little girl.

The two of them had not spoken for a long time. Emily only cared about eating her food, so she was especially satisfied. Who knew that the other party would throw a bomb down in the next second?

"I say, since we're all the same kind of people, why don't we get married?"

The man's voice was neither loud nor soft, but Emily's eyes widened when she heard it!

She almost dropped the chicken leg that she was holding!

"What did you say?" Emily seemed to have not recovered from her shock.

"Let's get married."

Patrick repeated his words lightly and added, "We both need a marriage partner. To me, rather than finding those women with fantasies, I might as well marry you. It's easier and more reliable."

"Is that really necessary? Isn't it a little... overreacting?"

The man shook his head and denied it. "No. First, it will solve my grandmother's worries. Second, we can avoid the urging of our relatives and friends. We won't disturb each other. Once we meet someone more suitable, we can divorce at any time."

Emily was quite averse to the word marriage. She subconsciously rejected him, "I am a big star, and as a woman, I am at a disadvantage. Marriage is harmful to me. I don't need to cooperate with you."

Patrick nodded in agreement. However, he then looked at Emily seriously and said, "If you marry me, I can give you two villas according to what you said before. Also, you don't need to take care of my parents. I won't care if you play music all night long."

This was a tempting suggestion. Emily narrowed her eyes.

"You can choose to get married in secret. There are a lot of marriages in the entertainment industry nowadays. If you like to keep a low profile, I will do as you wish."

Patrick crossed his arms and a glint of determination flashed across his eyes. "What I need is just a wife. I just need her to be there at the right time to stop others from talking. Give me a year. One year later, you can leave whenever you want. Even if we are married, we will still be separate. I won't ask you anything."

After hesitating for two seconds, Emily weighed the pros and cons in her heart.

"Deal."

It was a deal!

The two enemies who had originally hated each other had surprisingly come to an agreement.

In just one day, Emily and Patrick had gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate.

After that, they went their separate ways and went back to their own homes to find their own mothers.

At night, Emily returned to her room. She sat on the soft Simmons bed with a plush plush toy in her hand. She held the marriage certificate in her other hand and looked at it carefully.

The woman in the photo had good facial features. The slightly raised corners of her mouth made her look a little mischievous. Even if it was a photo of her face, it would still be very beautiful.

The man next to her was not inferior. His features were clear and his lips were curved into a smile. The two of them looked like they were a perfect match.

At first, Emily thought that it was nothing. However, when she came back to her senses, she felt a little complicated.

Just like that?
