Big eyes stared at small eyes.
Chi Jingchen was the first to break the deadlock, âI want to see the evidence.â
Evidenceâ¦
Where could Li Beijue find evidence? She had never married him. The marriage involved a stranger from Rainy City with an overseas household registration.
It never crossed his mindâ¦
âOkay.â
The distinguished man pulled out his wallet, took out a red booklet from one side, and handed it to Chi Jingchen.
âHereâs what youâre asking for.â
Chi Jingchen hadnât expected The Neighbor Old Wang to produce actual âevidence.â Somewhat dazed, he flipped open the red booklet. Indeed, it was a photo of Next Door Old Wang and his woman, with the words âMarriage Certificateâ written on it, and even a bright red seal.
Even if Old Wang had made a fake, it wouldnât have been produced so quickly. Chi Jingchen wouldnât have known to ask for it, and besides, who carries around a fake certificate at all times?
There was only one possibilityâThe Neighbor Old Wang really married his woman!
He looked at Chi Enen in astonishment, âWoman, youâre really married? How did I not know about this?â
Chi Enen was even more shocked than he was, speechless as she took the marriage certificate from Baby Chiâs hands. Sure enough, it was her and Li Beijueâs names on it, and the marriage date was precisely when she handed over her household register to Lin Anxin, asking Lin Anxin to pass it to her hidden marriage husband!
All the past events suddenly connectedâshe finally understood why her hidden marriage husband demanded no meetings, no provision of the marriage certificate. Why when she sent that scumbag to the police station and messaged her hidden marriage husband to help, Li Beijue and Si Chen showed up. Why Si Chen would say his good friend, who had a secret marriage, did so because he disliked women!
Not liking women wasnât because he was GAY, but because he was a paranoid!
Chi Enenâs heartbeat skipped a beat, her mind rattled by the news, mumbling, âI just found out tooâ¦â
âWhat?â Chi Jingchen didnât catch what she said as it was too quiet.
Chi Enen couldnât describe her complex emotions at this moment; from panic to astonishment, her feelings were like a roller coaster, plummeting before soaring highâ
Li Beijue had actually married her⦠and it had been done long ago⦠Only she, naively unaware, thought it was a relationship of free love.
From the beginning, Li Beijue never planned a love of freedom with her, but rather had tied her to him, slowly letting her accept it. Luckily, she gradually accepted and grew fond of this man, or else she would have awaited a ruthless sentence!
It would have been life imprisonment!
Such feelings were too obsessive, too domineering, too forceful!
She was clearly deceived, clearly should confront him about the whole story, but for some reason, she didnât want to. Because, as it happened, the man who was the paranoid that liked her, was also the one she liked.
Li Beijueâs falcon-like eyes locked tightly onto her reactions all along, from her initial confusion and panic upon remembering something, to the utter shock at seeing the marriage certificate, and eventually to her settling down. His heart clenched tightly! With his heart up in his throat, he managed to maintain his composure.
He knew this was a risky gamble; once he tore through this veneer, Chi Enen might realize that he had never changed, his desire to control as intense as ever. It was even possible⦠that the slight fondness she had developed could revert back to the way it was originally, becoming resistance and defensiveness.
