uckily, she's still alive... She's really okay...Seeing the cargo ship engulfed in flames, and her lying unconscious on the deck, his whole heart shattered into pieces.Later, when he arrived at the sc...Chapter 576: Hidden Marriage

After a long while, Tang Moqing stopped, pulling away from her lips. He propped himself up on the sofa, looking down at Xiao Yabai who was lying on it…

Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes dazed, and her lips parted slightly as she gasped for breath. It was obvious she hadn't recovered from the kiss yet.

"Ya Bai, I have something to discuss with you," he whispered in her ear, using the most alluring tone he could muster.

His words brought Xiaobai's rationality back a little, and she raised her hand to push his shoulder.

"You go first."

“What happened at Kr·C International Entertainment Company yesterday, I thought about it a lot after returning to the Tang family.” He ignored her words and continued, “Let’s get married. After we’re married, no one will dare to talk about Xiaonuan’s background anymore, okay”

" "..." Xiao Ya was stunned for a few seconds, as if she had heard something particularly horrifying.

Marriage, marriage

After a while:

She frowned and refused, "No, that's too rash. What if we don't get along later and get divorced That would be even more hurtful to Xiaonuan."

Parents are a child's first teacher in life. If parents' marriage is not good, it is highly likely to cause great psychological shadows for the child and even affect their future mate selection.

Xiaonuan is still young, and she would rather maintain the status quo for now.

At the moment, she's just trying to be with him. If she ever develops feelings for a long-term relationship with him, then they can talk about it later.

"We can get secretly married, what do you think" he continued to coax. "We can get our marriage license first and still live like we are now. When we're older if we find out we aren't a good match, we can quietly divorce, then no one will know; if you think in the future that we can be together forever, then we'll publicly announce our marriage, and I'll give you a grand wedding."

As if afraid she would refuse, he continued to persuade her, "I'm Xiaonuan's father. This matter, even if those ordinary people outside don't know about it, in the upper circles, it won't be hidden for long; if we don't get married, people in the wealthy circles will definitely discuss privately whether Xiaonuan is a bastard child or something like that. If they find out that Xiaonuan's custody is in your hands, it might spread even worse."

"Ya Bai, you're thinking of Xiao Nuan Nuan, and so am I; if I marry you, Xiao Nuan Nuan will no longer be an illegitimate child. She'll be the legitimate jewel of the Tang family, and no one will question her lineage anymore."

Xiao Ya Bai listened to his words, bit her lip, and fell into deep thought.

Remembering yesterday, when Li's assistant said those appalling things, she couldn't help but feel furious.

If Li's assistant knew that Xiaonuan had a father, and that it was him, he wouldn't have spoken of her so poorly.

Seeing she was wavering, Tang Moqing continued to persuade her:

"Don't worry, it's just a secret marriage. It doesn't cause you any loss. When we get married, if you encounter something similar again, you can openly and confidently fight back by saying that Xiaonuan's father is me. If they dare to question you, just slap the marriage certificate in their faces."

"...."

Later, after Tang Mo's patient coaxing and reasoned analysis throughout the night.

Xiao Ya Bai was stunned, feeling that his proposal of 'cohabitation' seemed quite good, but she also had a strange feeling that something was off.

Finally, she was brainwashed like a cult member, her head muddled, and she took her household registration book with her and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Tang Moqing at night to get their marriage certificate.

Left the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Holding the red booklet in her hand, Xiao Yabai was still a little dazed.

And Tang Moqing was beaming, his face full of spring breeze and unrestrained joy. He was even so excited that he kissed his marriage certificate.

My wife is finally mine!

From then on, he was also a married man.

They said that before discussing important matters, they'd shower her with kisses, enough to render her incapable of thinking, and then the rest would be easy.

As a matter of fact, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.

"You said we're secretly married" Xiao Ya Bai frowned, asking him.

He smiled and nodded. "Yes, we're secretly married. We'll announce it to the world when you're ready."

Xiao Ya Bai fell silent once more, recalling the words he had just spoken.

After a long while:

"Tang Mo, you bastard, you plotted against me!" she roared, grabbing his collar.

"Wife, when did I ever scheme against you How could I possibly scheme against you" Tang Moqing looked at her with a face full of bewilderment and innocence.

“Are you going to keep playing dead” Xiao Ya glared at him with blazing eyes, gritting her teeth and saying, “If anyone dares to gossip about Xiaonuan’s background in the future, or say that Xiaonuan is your illegitimate daughter, if I want to fight back, I have to reveal that we are already married, only then can I silence them. What about our agreement to keep our marriage a secret That's just a joke!”

That jerk, actually dared to deceive her.

"Then I won't be hiding our marriage anymore." He said calmly.

Anyway, the marriage certificate has been received. From today onwards, Xiao Ya Bai is his Tang Mo Qing Ye's wife.

"Divorce! Get a divorce right now."

She said angrily, then grabbed him and walked towards the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"What do you mean divorce In our Tang family, there's a rule passed down through generations: once married, the only way out is death, not divorce." He finally showed his true, cunning nature.

"You just said that if we don't get along in the future, we can divorce again," she glared at him through gritted teeth.

"Honey, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously." He hugged her and said with a warm smile.

" ... "

Xiao Ya was so angry that her eyes almost darkened, she was speechless with rage.

This person is so ruthless!

"Tang Mo, you liar! If you don't divorce me, I'll tear up the marriage certificate."

She was just about to tear up the marriage certificate when he snatched it away from her.

“Getting married only to divorce right after is not a good idea,” he soothed her anger, promising, “Let’s have a secret marriage for a year. If after a year, you still don’t want to be with me, then we’ll get divorced; if after a year, you feel I can be your husband, then we’ll announce our marriage.”

Yesterday she just started to try and accept her.

Today I got my marriage certificate.

He believed that within a year, she would willingly be with him for the rest of her life.

After all, they say women are easy to please. Just be nice to her, pamper her, and let her have her way.

"I won't believe another word you say, you liar!" She gritted her teeth and stomped away angrily.

I strongly suspect he may have cast a spell on her while she was at his place.

“Being married is just adding a certificate. You’ll still live in your place, nothing will change.” He followed her, grabbing her wrist. “Later I’ll have someone draft an agreement, black and white, signed and sealed. If after a year you still refuse to accept me, we’ll divorce then.” her hands to explain, so she could only let him hold her.The two of them embraced, it wasn't crowded enough to squeeze any little ones out, but becoming the filling of a sandwich, being squeezed and...
