Chapter 164: 164 Battle for Child10_1

"Fine... I agree to your terms; I’ll marry you!" Qin Muchuan said reluctantly, then blinked briefly. "But there won’t be a wedding, and after the marriage, you have no right to control my personal life!"

Lin Xiangwan blinked in confusion. "What do you mean by not restricting your personal life?"

With a dark face, Qin Muchuan swallowed down his escalating rage and growled, "It means that I can still associate with other women after I’m married!"

"Oh, so you want to have affairs and sleep with other women, is that it?" Lin Xiangwan bluntly expressed what he was trying to say.

"Exactly!"

Lin Xiangwan shrugged dismissively. "That’s fine, I accept your terms. I don’t care about the wedding, anyway. Our marriage is a necessity, so why pretend to be happy with a ceremony? It’s not worth it. Besides, I don’t have many friends to invite, nor do I need to collect red envelope gifts to recoup the cost. As for whom you want to interact with after our marriage, that’s up to you. I don’t care as long as you don’t bring any women home and corrupt our child!"

"Of course, I won’t bring them home!" Qin Muchuan felt more annoyed deep down. He assumed she would be heartbroken and devastated, not dismissive like this.

Lin Xiangwan lowered her gaze, a smirk forming on her lips as she stirred her coffee in a composed manner. "Well then, I have no other objections!"

Qin Muchuan lit a cigarette, inhaling deeply and exhaling a cloud of smoke. His chest was full of pent-up frustration, and his frown deepened. "After marriage, you cannot socialize with other men!"

Lin Xiangwan suddenly looked up at him with a gleeful smile. "Mr. Qin, you wouldn’t mind me socializing with other men, would you? Be careful there; you might make me think that you care about me!"

"Care about you?" Qin Muchuan mocked, his voice colder still. "You wish. I just don’t want to be the butt of people’s jokes. I won’t let you cuckold me."

"All I can say is...let it be. Even the most devoted couples can slip up and have affairs. Your request for a guarantee is pointless. I can’t give you a definite answer," Lin Xiangwan refused to assure him.

Unbelievable – he wants to have casual flings but prevents her from doing so. Has he no shame?

Did he consider her a fragile bunny who would tolerate anything for the sake of their child?

Well, he was terribly mistaken.

Qin Muchuan couldn’t believe his ears. "You’re saying you want to have affairs with other men after we’re married?"

"Ha, affairs? That’s a nice word, accurate and succinct. I like it," Lin Xiangwan said, smiling faintly and looking at him sarcastically. "As expected from Mr. Qin. You’re straight to the point."

Qin Muchuan’s face reddened with her sarcasm. "Let me warn you, if you dare to misbehave after our marriage, I will not spare you. Better remember that now, or you’ll regret it."

Lin Xiangwan flashed another sarcastic smile. "Rest assured, Mr. Qin; I’m not as liberal as you think. Affairs —I won’t do it."

"That’s for the best!"

"..." Feeling that their discussion was about over, Lin Xiangwan wiped her lips. "Contact me when you’re free!"

Oh dear, she surely couldn’t be expected to arrange for their marriage registration now, could she?

Moreover, she was tired of paying for the coffee. She had picked up the tab last time for a whole table of food.

Qin Muchuan glanced at his wristwatch, a unique Swiss piece. "Do you have something important to do later?"

"Nope!" Lin Xiangwan shook her head.

"In that case, let’s go straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get our marriage license!"

Lin Xiangwan blinked at him, not quite catching up.

Qin Muchuan refrained from laughing and explained, "Since we’ve discussed everything and there’s no issue, let’s just go and get married. It’ll bring more stability to our child’s life, rather than making them feel like a pitiful orphan."

"I have no issues with that, and I have my household registration book with me!" Being suddenly told about getting married, she wasn’t as carefree as before. She became nervous, her heart pounding, and her breathing grew labored.

"Good..." Qin Muchuan called over a waiter and tossed down a few hundred-dollar bills to pay the tab.

The waiter went to retrieve change, but Qin Muchuan stopped him. "No need for change. Keep the rest as a tip."

Having said this, he walked out briskly.

Lin Xiangwan followed him, struggling in her high heels. Not much time had passed since the last time he had held her hand, and her heart was overflowing with happiness; she felt as if she was walking on air.

Indeed, she’d been floating on clouds, only to fall hard and hurt her heart!

............

As expected of Qin Muchuan, he had connections. The Civil Marriage Registration Office was crowded with betrothed couples, yet he led her directly into the registry, and they were immediately attended to!

"The bride and groom should stand closer!" The worker busy with a camera gestured for them to move closer to each other.

Lin Xiangwan looked at him, and he looked back at her. Then, they both leaned in unison, their heads turning towards each other.

The worker pressed the shutter button in that instant.

The photo was developed quickly, and their marriage license was ready!

The moment Lin Xiangwan held their marriage license in her hand, her heart sank.

She was married, just like that?

"You should keep the marriage license!" Qin Muchuan put on his sunglasses as they stepped out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. The sunlight was dazzling, the wind was strong, and sand was blowing around. The northern wind was so harsh, it was challenging to keep one’s eyes open.

"Sure, I’ll keep it safely for you. Considering our child, I won’t charge you any storage fees!" Lin Xiangwan said, slipping the red box into her handbag.

After putting away the item and lifting her head, she realized Qin Muchuan was watching her. Even though he was wearing sunglasses, she could feel his gaze.

"You’re quite generous!" Qin Muchuan laughed, clearly ridiculing her.

"I’m always generous!" Lin Xiangwan put on her sunglasses. The blowing sand was too intense, and her eyes were inexplicably welling up with tears, which she was struggling to control!

She hoped the sunglasses would successfully conceal her tears.

"I hope your generosity extends to our future maintenance fees too!" Qin Muchuan provocatively suggested.

Lin Xiangwan’s face changed, her tone serious. "We don’t need to fulfill any marital duties, do we?"

"Who said that?" Qin Muchuan retorted.

"Didn’t we just sign an agreement that after our marriage, I won’t interfere with which woman you sleep with or even which man you sleep with!"

The slight pleasure on Qin Muchuan’s face vanished once again with her harsh words. Did this woman speak just to irk him, suggesting he sleep with men? What a thought!
