4: My wife is the governor's daughter

Huangpu District Civil Affairs Bureau.

Gao Ze was still in a daze, and before he knew it, Li Qingyan had quickly pulled him through the physical examination, photo session, and marriage registration.

After the streamlined process was completed, Li Qingyan held two bright red marriage certificates in her hand.

“I’m married now?”

Looking at Li Qingyan’s face and the two marriage certificates in his hand, Gao Ze felt a bit surreal. He had just broken up, and now he had a wife more beautiful than a celebrity and with an explosive figure?

Could it be a mission from the Master?

“Of course, hubby, we’re already married.”

Li Qingyan showed a sweet smile, her clear, bright eyes shimmering like spring water: “Aren’t you happy?”

“I just don’t understand why you chose me?”

Gao Ze wasn’t exactly happy, nor was he dejected; he wasn't opposed to marrying Li Qingyan.

His younger siblings both hoped he would have a partner, and marrying a great beauty like Li Qingyan actually meant he was getting the better end of the deal.

He was just curious about Li Qingyan’s intentions.

Beauties like his ex-girlfriend had many suitors, and a stunning beauty like Li Qingyan would only have more. If she wanted to find someone to marry, she could easily find hundreds or thousands; why choose him?

Li Qingyan blinked her large eyes: “Hubby, we’re already married. Is this question very important?”

“Very important!”

Gao Ze didn't intend to take advantage of Li Qingyan by marrying her. As long as she could regularly act as his sister-in-law to reassure his younger siblings, he would be content.

But no matter what, he would absolutely not agree to a marriage that was a mission from the Master.

“Hubby, actually, I already told you, I’m a sucker for good looks. You’re handsome and dashing, over 1.8 meters tall. I really like that.”

Li Qingyan smiled and said, “Anyway, none of my suitors are as handsome as you. My best friend will be so envious when she finds out.”

Gao Ze: “.......”

“And I think you have many precious qualities, hubby. It’s just that your ex never appreciated them!”

Li Qingyan continued: “For example, you have to take care of your younger siblings, support them from a young age, and ensure they receive an education. How many people can be as responsible as you?”

“Also, as far as I know, many Traffic Police in Donghai City take bribes.

But you still only take your salary. There are very few people like you who can resist temptation and remain upright and incorruptible. My dad will definitely like you very much.”

“And you, with your meager salary, while renting a house, have to take care of your younger siblings’ food, clothing, and shelter, and still manage to be in a relationship, and even produce a hundred thousand yuan betrothal gift. This is enough to prove your self-reliance.”

“You’re quite good at comforting people. I’m not as good as you say!”

Gao Ze was slightly surprised. It seemed Li Qingyan wasn't just a naive sweet girl; her little mouth was quite eloquent, and she had a knack for comforting people.

“Hubby, I won’t allow you to belittle yourself. Anyway, you’re a treasure. None of my many suitors are as handsome or as good as you. Your ex was just blind.”

“But I don’t have a car or a house. My conditions definitely can’t compare to your suitors.”

If he didn’t know how poor his family was, Gao Ze might have felt giddy after hearing that. But a warm current still flowed through his heart. Regardless of whether it was true or not, having a girl other than his siblings who could encourage and affirm him felt really good.

Especially since this girl was his wife in a legal sense.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a house or a car; you can always earn them. My family’s conditions aren’t that great either, but I’ll secretly help you out.”

Li Qingyan linked her arm through Gao Ze’s, pressing tightly against his body, and said softly and sweetly: “And you have to believe in yourself, and in your wife’s judgment. How could it be wrong?”

“Okay, I believe you, but you don’t need to help me out. Your family’s conditions are ordinary; that would increase your parents’ burden!”

It must be said that after being encouraged, even Gao Ze felt full of vigor, wishing he could immediately rescue the Governor’s daughter and then apprehend Liu Yaozong, the A-level fugitive from Greenland City.

According to today’s system intelligence, it seems that the Governor’s daughter, Li Qingyan, was hit by a bus at the Huangpu District Civil Affairs Bureau at 2 PM this afternoon.

He was currently at the Huangpu District Civil Affairs Bureau, and it was 1:30 PM. He still had half an hour until the Governor’s daughter, Li Qingyan, was hit. He could slowly stake out the place and seize this opportunity.

Rescuing the Governor’s daughter, Li Qingyan, would mean establishing a connection with a Governor.

As a criminal investigation expert who had spent over a decade in officialdom in his previous life, Gao Ze understood how rare it was to have a Governor owe him a favor. If he could make the Governor his backer, he might rise rapidly through the ranks.

Ability was important, but having connections in officialdom was equally important.

“Okay, hubby, then tomorrow I’ll take you to meet my mom. She’ll definitely be overjoyed to know she has another son-in-law.”

Li Qingyan said excitedly: “That way, she won’t constantly urge me to go on blind dates and get married.”

Feeling the strong resentment and excitement hidden in Li Qingyan’s tone, Gao Ze guessed that her main reason for marrying him was probably to find a husband to appease her parents.

However, Li Qingyan was young and from a well-off family, which led to her having limited experience and perspective. So, out of spite, she chose him, an older youth with good looks but no financial means.

In his previous life, he had encountered many such cases: girls who had been well cared for by their parents since childhood often had simple personalities, were mostly attracted to good looks, and would not listen to their parents’ opinions on major life decisions, making their own choices and often ending up being deceived by men.

“No problem. Tomorrow I’ll go with you to meet your mom, but when I need it, can you meet my younger siblings?”

“Of course, no problem. As long as you need me to, I’ll help you deal with your younger siblings.”

Hearing the word ‘deal with,’ Gao Ze became even more certain of his guess. He wasn’t disappointed; it was clear that Li Qingyan at most had a good impression of him.

“Oh, by the way, I still don’t know your name. What are your mom’s preferences? What should I prepare for tomorrow’s visit?”

Even though it was just a marriage of convenience, Gao Ze wanted to help her as much as possible. She had been quite protective of him in front of Liu Yating.

“Li Qingyan!”

“What?” Gao Ze wondered if his ears had deceived him.

“Hubby, my name is Li Qingyan, what’s wrong?”

Li Qingyan looked at Gao Ze’s surprised expression and, puzzled, handed him one of the marriage certificates: “Oh, right, you probably didn’t see my name when I gave you my ID card. It’s on the marriage certificate.”

When they were taking photos and getting the certificate.

Gao Ze had indeed handed his ID card and household register to Li Qingyan and hadn’t seen her ID card.

Now, he immediately took the marriage certificate, opened the red booklet. Inside was a photo of them smiling against a red background, and two names.

Besides Gao Ze, the other name was clearly Li Qingyan.

“Li Qingyan, my wife is the Governor’s daughter!”

Gao Ze’s eyes widened, and he took a deep breath. Goosebumps uncontrollably rose on his skin, feeling incredible.

Was it a coincidence of names?

Or the same person?

Today’s intelligence showed that the Governor’s daughter, Li Qingyan, would appear at the Huangpu District Civil Affairs Bureau in the afternoon.

Now, Li Qingyan was indeed at the Huangpu District Civil Affairs Bureau, only she had become his wife. At this moment, there were only twenty minutes until Li Qingyan was hit at 2 PM.
