Chapter 23: Shameless
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Give it back.” Su Qingsang was so furious that she jumped up to take the bra out of his hand.
However, Huo Jinyao moved faster than her; he raised his hand and lifted the bra up. He was tall and strong. The image of his six-pack abs was still embedded in Su Qingsang’s brain.
The sight of this man holding her black bra so casually made her face turn redder. “You give it back to me.”
Right when she decided to jump on him and grab the bra, Huo Jinyao finally put the piece of fabric in her hand. Su Qingsang breathed a sigh of relief and squeezed it in her hand. She wondered if there was a way she could discreetly put it back in place.
How could she have known that Huo Jinyao would turn around and immediately pick up the remaining bras?
Although Su Qingsang had one of her bras in her hand, she failed to grab the others. She didn’t expect him to be so shameless. “Huo Jinyao.”
Is he a pervert? she thought.
“Sorry,” Huo Jinyao spoke as he grabbed the thin, light cloth and grinned to reveal his white teeth. “I’ve never really seen these things before, so I’m a bit curious.”
Never really seen these things? As if anyone would believe that. Su Qingsang did not believe Huo Jinyao the slightest bit. She randomly grabbed her undergarments and put them on the other side of the closet. She carefully looked through her closet again. When Su Qingsang was sure that nothing else was going to draw the attention of this “God of bad luck,” she finally felt relieved.
Afterward, she cleared up a corner in the closet and said, “Put your clothes here.”
Seeing that he stood still, Su Qingsang didn’t want to stay there any longer. She felt strange standing with him in such a small space.
“I still have work to do, so organize your clothes yourself.” She stopped to look at him. “And don’t touch any of my things.”
Su Qingsang’s face was still flushed when she returned to the study room. She was surprised by how uncomfortable she felt.
I’m a doctor, is there anything I haven’t seen? I’ve seen everything, even the body structures of men and women. Why do I feel so uncomfortable? Why do I feel guilty? I don’t have to feel like that, okay?
Su Qingsang patted her cheeks and decided to finish up the essay that she had been working on. However, before she could even type out two lines, she was disturbed. Su Qingsang saw Huo Jinyao’s head peeking through the door and suddenly got a headache.
“What’s the matter again?” She was not in a good mood. The image of him holding her underwear was still in her head.
“What do you want to eat tonight?” Huo Jinyao asked.
“Whatever.”
“What do you mean ‘whatever’?” Huo Jinyao walked in while speaking. “Today is the first day of our marriage. We must celebrate it, right?”
Su Qingsang glanced over Huo Jinyao’s face. “Are you trying to avoid cooking?”
A hint of distress flashed across Huo Jinyao’s face, but only for a second. “Of course not. I just want to celebrate this day with you.”
Su Qingsang looked at the clock. It wasn’t even four o’clock yet. “Later. I still have work to do.”
“It can’t be later.” Huo Jinyao stepped closer and pulled her up. ” We have to go somewhere else before we go to dinner.”
“Where?” Su Qingsang didn’t want to go out, because this essay was very important to her. Her mentor in the hospital, Zhang Qiubai, was very good to her and had always given her opportunities to practice her skills.
Su Qingsang wanted to continue her studies and get a doctorate degree.
“You will know when we get there.” As he spoke, Huo Jinyao pulled her out of the chair.
“You……” Su Qingsang felt helpless, so she had to quickly save the document and follow him.

Su Qingsang did not expect Huo Jinyao to take her to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
She sat in her car and watched Huo Jinyao take out her ID card and family records. Su Qingsang had no idea how and where he found them. She moved her lips, opened her mouth, and closed it again. “You……”
“Dear wife, we had the wedding yesterday, but we haven’t gotten the certificate yet. We’re both free today, so let’s go get the certificate,” Huo Jinyao said.
“I……” Su Qingsang didn’t want to do that since she thought it would be easier to get a divorce if got married without the official certificate.
This was also the reason why she hadn’t been panicking before. A wedding just by itself was not legally valid; however, Huo Jinyao would become her legal husband as soon as they obtained the certificate. After that, it would be much harder to get rid of this man.
“Let’s go.” Huo Jinyao had already got out of the car and dragged her out as well.
She walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau as Huo Jinyao dragged her by her hand. It wasn’t closing time yet, and it was a normal day, so there weren’t many people inside.
Su Qingsang was still hesitant because she didn’t think that Huo Jinyao actually wanted the certificate. She intended to walk out of the building.
However, Huo Jinyao held her wrist even tighter. He pulled her and continued walking. In Su Qingsang’s eyes, he looked very excited. “My wife, you’re going in the wrong direction. Here’s where you get the certificate.”
“Huo Jinyao.” She didn’t want to get a certificate, she really didn’t.
“You see, there are not many people here today. It looks like a good day,” Huo Jinyao exclaimed.
Su Qingsang looked at the hall and there were indeed not many people there. Most people liked to pick a good day to get the certificate and they came to the Civil Affairs Bureau early in the morning.
It was almost afternoon and the officers were going to leave soon. The newlywed couple in front of them was finishing up the registration procedures.
It was their turn now. Huo Jinyao handed all the materials to the officer and his diligent attitude surprised Su Qingsang’s even more. She got a feeling that Huo Jinyao was very passionate about this marriage. But why would he be? I must be imagining it.
“Congratulations.” The employee was very friendly. He took the materials, showed them how to fill out the forms, and led them to take a photo.
Su Qingsang’s body felt very stiff during the photo session. The bright light made her eyes feel so uncomfortable that she had to stand up several times, but Huo Jinyao kept pulling her down. “Dear, don’t be nervous.”
“I am not nervous.” Who was nervous? She was just hesitant. “Huo Jinyao, I don’t……”
“Don’t worry, you look very beautiful. You’re very photogenic. You’ll look beautiful in the photo.” As Huo Jinyao spoke, he smiled at her and flashed his white teeth.
Su Qingsang was dazed by his remarkably bright smile. By the time she recovered, the photo had already been taken.
Two brand-new, red certificates were stamped with an official seal. Su Qingsang stared at the certificate photo of two people holding hands together and didn’t know how to feel about it.
She subtly looked at Huo Jinyao.
“My wife, from now on, please guide me on how to become a perfect husband.” Huo Jinyao shook the red marriage certificate and smiled at her.
His smile was too bright for Su Qingsang. She turned away so as to not look at him. She held the marriage certificate in her hand and got a feeling that something was not right.
“Huo Jinyao,” she muttered.
Why, why did he marry me? Why did all this happen? Yesterday’s wedding and today’s marriage certificate. If he went along with the wedding for the sole purpose of helping me, then why did he get the marriage certificate today?
He saw Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue yesterday. He should know that I’m just an illegitimate daughter of the Su family.
I don’t have anything he wants. Why is he doing all this?
