"Who told you that this is a credit card?"
His forehead slightly scrunched up as he looked at the woman in front of him in resignation.
What is this dumb woman talking about?
"Huh? Ah? Not a credit card?" She was instantly dumbfounded. This dark silver card is actually not a credit card?
She looked at the card the man was handing over to her again and realized that it really did not seem to be either a credit card or a bank card!
That was because there were actually no numbers printed on it.
"Of course, not," he replied with amusement.
"What is this, then?" She shifted her gaze from the card and on to the man.
"This is this house's IC card," he explained.
"Er? What is an IC card?" she asked weakly.
Oh, my gosh. As part of the common folks, I really don't know anything about the world of the rich.
"… It is equivalent to a keycard." His lips twitched as he patiently answered her question.
"But… I don't recall seeing any door when we took the lift to your house. Where am I going to use this card?" Her brain could not seem to keep up with the happenings around her. No matter how much she tried to refresh her memories, she could still not recall seeing any door on their way up.
"… The elevator! It has a slot for swiping this card by the entrance." He looked at the ignorant woman before him and stiffly thought, How did I end up putting a woman as dumb and slow-witted as her in my heart?
"O-Oh!" She finally understood how the card worked.
Tsk, tsk, tsk! This is indeed the world of the rich! While I've seen such high-tech stuff on TV before, I really didn't know that a card is needed to use an elevator that goes straight into someone's house. How impressive!
She exasperatedly eyed the dark silver IC card in his hand and could not help but be curious about it.
"Take it." He stuffed the IC card into her hand when he noticed her curious gaze.
She only managed to react at this once she felt the IC card in her palm.
That's not right! That's not what we should be talking about!
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom The moment I saw this card, my question shouldn't have been on how to use it. Rather, I should've asked this annoying fellow why he's giving me this card!
"Er!" She lifted her chin to gaze at him after the belated realization and asked, "That's not right. Why are you giving me the keycard to your house?"
He took in her lost and confused look and instantly felt his breath hitching again.
"What do you think? Why am I giving you this IC card?"
Crossing his arms, he raised a brow at her. He had an unfathomable look on his face.
"Huh?" When he threw the question back at her, she blinked her eyes and scrunched up her forehead ponderously. Shortly after, her lips curled upward.
"It's because we are now husband and wife! And I, as your wife, need to have a duplicate of your keycard!"
A light smile appeared in his eyes at her words. ( B oxnovel.c om )
However, before the smile could stay around for a couple of minutes, it quickly dissipated and was replaced by displeasure at her next words.
"We are a fake couple, so if I don't have a duplicate of your keycard, others will guess the truth!" She made this guess with a grin.
Hearing her answer and seeing her gleeful look, he could feel his heart hurting.
"How is it? My guess is pretty accurate, right?" She smiled widely and blinked innocently at him.
"Yes." He stared at her through narrowed eyes and said coldly, "Since you are my wife, if we don't stay together, it will be—"
Before his statement ended, her eyes were already like saucers from shock.
"—Obvious that it's fake, right?" He casually completed the rest of his words.
She exclaimed in shock the moment he finished speaking.
"Ahhh!" She stared at him in disbelief, feeling as if she were actually dreaming.
"Ji Ziming, are you sure your brain is fine?" A heartbeat later, her tongue slipped, and she spoke whatever was on her mind.
"…" His forehead creased at her question.
This d*mn, dumb woman is actually asking me that question again!
"Pei Ge—" Before he could continue berating her, the woman shouted above his loud voice.
"While we indeed got our marriage certificate, we are still not a real married couple! Taking your house keycard is fine, but as for staying together, you should forget about it!" She made her stance very clear to him. She even sounded as if she despised the idea.
"… Pei Ge, you seem to have forgotten the terms stated in the contract. You don't actually have the right to choose, as well as the power to negotiate terms with me," he stated with a raised brow and a cutting gaze.
Her face whitened at this.
That's right. I signed a contract with this annoying fellow. I don't actually have the right to negotiate terms with him, and I definitely can't go against his wishes like I used to do.
"I—" She moved to speak, but before she could get another word out, he quickly interrupted her.
"You will move here after your mother's operation," he coldly repeated. He then shot her a gaze with warning - a warning not to fight him and try his patience.
"…" She fell silent at that.
Move over? Live with this annoying fellow?
Honestly speaking, she still did not get why he had chosen her to be his shield and wanted to make it this realistic. Was there anyone out there with the guts to force Ji Ziming, this annoying fellow, into a marriage?
"Can I not move over?" Her forehead was knitted tightly when she asked this question in vexation.
"You can't," he rejected . ( B oxnovel.c om )
"Where will I stay, then?" She glared at him indignantly, feeling stifled inside.
"The guest room," he answered indifferently.
She thanked the god for small mercies as she had no say in this and could only grudgingly abide by his order.
"I understand. I'll move over after my mother's operation…" she acquiesced, feeling powerless and tired.
Sigh… When is this annoying fellow going to divorce me? This is so vexing…
