After Being Betrayed, I Married a Tycoon in a Flash

Sheng Shaochen's grip on her hand subtly relaxed a few notches, yet he did not let go and directly led her out of the car.

Outside the car, the sunlight was direct, with strong ultraviolet rays.

Ye Shu only felt a heat wave assaulting her face.

Sheng Shaochen's tall figure shifted slightly, shielding her from most of the sunlight.

Guan Jiu got out of the car, hurriedly opened a large black umbrella, and held it over their heads, blocking out much of the heat wave.

Ye Shu looked up, seeing the dazzling national emblem above the entrance to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and was momentarily stunned.

There had been a time when she was Jin City's high and mighty socialite, the number one belle. How many people had scrambled to curry favor with her.

Who would have thought that Ye Shu, the socialite who could command the wind and summon the rain, would one day descend to the point of becoming a surrogate mother?

"Miss Ye, are you scared now? Thinking about backing out?"

Sheng Shaochen let go of her hand, his voice carrying a teasing tone as he stroked her hair like one would stroke the fur of a kitten.

Ye Shu's beautiful eyes furrowed, and she shot him a look, "Mr. Sheng, at this point, what do I have to be afraid of? As for you, with your extensive family and business, you really should think it through carefully, so you don't regret being taken advantage of by a scheming woman someday."

Having said that, Ye Shu did not look at him again and walked straight into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The sunlight hit her body, and her shadows fluttered on the ground with her steps, creating an indescribably beautiful scene.

The corners of Sheng Shaochen's lips couldn't help but lift slightly.

Guan Jiu's dark facial muscles twitched, as this was the first time he had seen Sheng Shaochen be so intimately involved with a woman for such a long time since he had started working for him.

The wishes of Mrs. Sheng and Old Mrs. Sheng might really come true this time.

At the Civil Affairs Bureau, Guan Jiu had already greeted the staff early on. As Sheng Shaochen arrived, all the female employees had been given time off in advance.

Thus, Ye Shu gave her first marriage to a Civil Affairs Bureau staffed only by male workers.

The moment the two bright red seals were stamped down, Ye Shu felt a surge of unexplainable sourness in her heart.

So, just like that, she had a flash marriage—with none other than a gynophobic narcissist!

"Lady Ye Shu, please come over here to recite the vows." The male staff member's crisp voice politely rang out.

Ye Shu snapped back to reality, nodded, and was about to follow when her phone rang.

Without thinking much, Ye Shu answered it. It was her employer and college classmate Ou Linlin's agent—Tang Zhi—calling.

Tang Zhi was obviously in a hurry, "Ye Shu, there's a problem with Linlin. You have to come over right away."

"Hey, hey, don't shoot, stop shooting..."

"Hello? I said stop shooting, do you not understand?"

...

The noise came through the radio waves.

"What happened?" Ye Shu covered the phone's receiver with one hand, stealing glances at Sheng Shaochen who was already standing at the front.

"I can't explain it all right now, just hurry over to the set," Tang Zhi said hastily before hanging up.

Ye Shu looked at the darkened phone screen, her brow furrowed.

Ou Linlin was the celebrity she was currently assisting, known for her sharp tongue and for her unrestrained behavior in the industry. As her assistant, Ye Shu had handled many big and small accidents for her.

But Ye Shu was willing to do so.

After all, when Ye Shu faced her downfall, all those who used to crowd around her fled as if avoiding plague, yet it was only Ou Linlin who went against everyone's opinion and offered her a helping hand.
