Translator: MoboReader Editor: MoboReader

May 20th marked the day today. Within this nation, the date symbolized romance, prompting numerous couples to file for marriage registration.

Su Bei had fretted over the crowds at the Civil Affairs Bureau today. To avoid missing out on getting married, she dispatched a servant early with all required documents including ID cards before the office opened, aiming for the quickest issuance of licenses for her and Du Luo.

Yet now, intending to depart home, she needed to retrieve her ID card from there first.

En route to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Su Bei started feeling uneasy, her body burning like it was aflame. Such a sensation felt utterly foreign to her.

It hit her abruptly—she had indeed been drugged by Su Huixian!

Moreover, the drug's potency proved exceptionally strong.

Should Su Huixian not have slipped it into the bird’s nest, she must have done so elsewhere. Su Bei had freshened up that morning and sipped water too, offering plenty of chances for tampering.

Even with the drug activating now, pursuing justice would prove futile for her.

She understood that both her father and Du Luo would dismiss it as yet another self-preserving scheme.

Never had she imagined Su Huixian's scheming could reach such depths, laying this kind of trap!

Honest and upright by nature, Su Bei stood no chance against such a sly foe as Su Huixian.

Upon reaching the Civil Affairs Bureau, weakness overtook her entirely. Her delicate face glowed with a vivid flush, slicked by perspiration. Her eyes blinked softly, shimmering with moisture.

Locating the Su family servant, Su Bei reclaimed her ID card at last.

“Miss Bei, here’s Mr. Luo’s ID card too.”

Su Bei offered a faint smile. “Take it back to him yourself.”

The mere idea of Du Luo chilled her heart, making her loathe handling his belongings.

The odd sensation surging through her intensified relentlessly. Clearly, Su Huixian was bent on stripping her of her innocence this day.

To Su Bei, however, it mattered little. She had forfeited nearly all today—her father’s affection, her fiancé’s loyalty. Nothing remained worth losing.

Destined to surrender her virginity, she resolved to choose a man who appealed to her for the deed.

Glancing about the Civil Affairs Bureau, a man strode through the entrance just then. His custom-fitted suit accentuated his lofty, upright stature. It was like a spotlight bathed him, rendering him utterly flawless.

In an instant, the man illuminated Su Bei’s darkened world.

Trailing him came another man who murmured quietly, “Mr. Lu, she failed to appear.”

“Inform her then that her presence is no longer required,” Lu Heting replied coolly. Yet his tone carried an unspoken weight of authority.

He pivoted to depart, only for Su Bei to position herself before him.

Overhearing his bride’s absence, she instantly deemed him her perfect match!

Faced with this stranger blocking his path, Lu Heting glanced down at her features. Her cheeks rivaled ripe apples in redness, her dark lashes quivering delicately. She exuded an alluring charm. Frowning slightly, he regarded her thoughtfully.

“Sir, your bride appears to have stood you up. Might I request a small favor?” she ventured timidly. Her youthful voice brimmed with vitality.

“A small favor? Do you even know my identity?” Lu Heting queried, eyeing her uplifted expression.

“Naturally! You drive for Lu Weijian. I’ve seen you twice while you fetched him,” Su Bei replied, her face beaming enchantingly.

Earlier, she caught the bit about his no-show bride but missed his designation—Mr. Lu!
