Chapter 4: Getting certificates

In the cramped back seat of the car, Yu Haozhou hadn’t given up the fight. He was still looking for a way out. He didn’t want to be with Zhou Zizheng right now; otherwise, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from killing him.

Damn it, he couldn’t face anyone.

Only a fool like him would actively go and get humiliated by his nemesis.

“Zhouzhou, I know it’s hard for you to believe me right now.” Zhou Zizheng’s voice was unusually flustered. “But I’m serious. I was very happy you came to find me that night.”

He still dared to bring up that night!

Yu Haozhou was about to throw another punch. The fist was already in motion when he saw Zhou Zizheng close his eyes, ready to endure his wrath without moving. Yu Haozhou’s heart ached, and he gritted his teeth, veering his punch far away.

“Zhou Zizheng, I don’t want to talk about any of that with you anymore. That night is in the past, and so is this marriage alliance. Go back and explain it to your parents yourself.”

“From now on, we’re separate. You go your way, and I’ll go mine. We won’t interfere with each other.”

“Now, let me out.”

“Otherwise, I’ll beat you up every time I see you.”

Yu Haozhou was trying his best to remain calm.

Only then could he get those words out completely.

He was wrong. He shouldn’t have been so stupid as to do something so idiotic that night. He must have been possessed.

Zhou Zizheng still held his body tightly, his pair of black eyes, which could show deep affection even to a dog, fixed on Yu Haozhou. He asked only one question: “Yu Haozhou, why do you think I want to marry you?”

Yu Haozhou let out a heavy snort through his nose. “Don’t you dare think you can torment me. I’m not getting married to you!”

Zhou Zizheng: “…”

Zhou Zizheng: “Because I like you.”

Undeniably, upon hearing this, Yu Haozhou’s furious emotions, which had been at his throat, were momentarily choked back. His heart skipped a beat.

However, he had long been familiar with Zhou Zizheng’s acting skills.

At this moment, he just curled his lips, stared at him, and emphasized each word: “Zhou Zizheng, if I ever believe a word you say again, I’m a dog.”

Zhou Zizheng frustratingly pushed his tongue against his cheek. “When have you ever believed me?”

Yu Haozhou fell silent.

The current posture of the two was not very elegant. Although they were sitting face-to-face, Yu Haozhou’s legs were completely sandwiched between Zhou Zizheng’s legs. He could not struggle out at all. His hands were also fighting a guerrilla war, tossing and turning.

The stalemate couldn’t last forever. Zhou Zizheng finally gave in and softened his tone: “Zhouzhou, how about you get to torment me from now on?”

Yu Haozhou’s eyebrow twitched. He rolled his eyes at him. “Don’t give me that. Just let me out.”

“Then what do you want?” Zhou Zizheng went all out, throwing caution to the wind. “Anyway, today, unless you agree to marry me, you’re not getting out of this car.”

Yu Haozhou’s eyes widened. He glared at him. “Zhou Zizheng, are you crazy?”

Zhou Zizheng seemed unfazed.

Yu Haozhou was so angry he gnashed his teeth, wishing he could strangle him. In fact, he actually tried. Zhou Zizheng was startled at first, but then he realized Yu Haozhou was just making empty threats. He cooperated, lying weakly against the backrest with his hands limp. He said feebly, “Go on, strangle me. I’ll drag you with me to the grave as a ghost.”

Yu Haozhou gritted his teeth, muttering, “In your dreams,” while gauging the distance between his hand and the car door lock. After confirming he could get out in the next two years, he glanced at Zhou Zizheng, who was still immersed in his role.

He let go of him and immediately lunged for the window.

The next second, the now-alert Zhou Zizheng wrapped his arms around Yu Haozhou’s waist and pulled him back. Yu Haozhou’s entire upper body was on the seat, with one leg propped on one side of the chair and the other directly on the leather seat.

Having failed to escape again, Yu Haozhou cursed.

Even though the air conditioning was on, he was covered in sweat from the struggle. He looked up to see Zhou Zizheng’s handsome face approaching, and for a moment, he was dazed. He raised his arm to block his eyes.

He gave up the struggle. “Then let’s just stay like this.”

Yu Haozhou was wearing a casual outfit today, and his pants were easy to take off. When he realized someone was tugging at them and about to pull them off his hips, his scalp tingled. He was so scared he desperately clutched his pants and looked up at the perpetrator.

“What are you doing?!”

“We’re stuck in the car anyway; might as well do something fun,” Zhou Zizheng said with a smile.

Yu Haozhou didn’t for a second think he was joking.

After all, people are especially energetic when they’re doing something bad. Besides, he had just recovered down there, and one more time, and he’d be dead.

Wait, no, that’s not right.

While Yu Haozhou was still in a dazed state, Zhou Zizheng glanced at him and continued to move. This infuriated Yu Haozhou, who used one hand to hold his pants and the other to push away the hand that was groping his abs, though it was of little use.

“I swear to God, Zhou Zizheng, you motherf**ker.”

Zhou Zizheng was having a blast playing cat and mouse with him.

He couldn’t beat him, and he couldn’t run away. Yu Haozhou’s mind was completely blown. Heaven must have seen that his life had been too smooth and specially sent Zhou Zizheng to torment him.

“Stop, stop, stop,” Yu Haozhou gasped. “Fine, I’ll marry you! Is that what you want?”

Zhou Zizheng released him, smiling triumphantly, then feigned disappointment. “Tsk, what a shame. Why didn’t you hold out a little longer?”

Yu Haozhou climbed up from the seat. Hearing this, he bared his teeth at him and tidied his clothes. “Zhou Zizheng, don’t you regret marrying me. I’m not going to make it easy for you.”

Zhou Zizheng pinched his chin and turned his face.

Yu Haozhou furrowed his brows. Before he could even say, “Are you looking for a fight?” he was kissed on the lips.

Just as he was about to fight back, Zhou Zizheng pulled away first, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at him. “My pleasure.”

“…”

His gaze was so sincere that looking at it for another second felt like being burned. Yu Haozhou shifted his gaze elsewhere, his face feeling warm. He still didn’t mince words. “You must be a masochist.”

“Is the AC broken? Why is it so hot in here?”

Yu Haozhou mumbled as he tried to open the car door, only to find it was still locked. He closed his eyes, truly unable to bear it anymore. “Zhou! Zi! Zheng!”

“I’m here.”

Zhou Zizheng naturally wrapped his arm around his waist and sat next to him. “Baby, what’s up?”

Yu Haozhou was still not used to this kind of interaction with him while he was sober. He got goosebumps from the disgust and was about to elbow him when Zhou Zizheng, as if by magic, handed him a long-sleeved white shirt and black dress pants.

“Change into these. Look a little more formal.”

Strangely, Yu Haozhou’s anger suddenly subsided.

It seemed he was really going to marry Zhou Zizheng.

“Get out,” Yu Haozhou said awkwardly.

Zhou Zizheng was already wearing a white shirt and black pants, so he didn’t need to change. “Why? I’ve seen everything; what’s there to be shy about, baby~?”

He was starting to say “baby” more and more naturally.

Where was this man’s integrity?!

Yu Haozhou quickly took off his casual T-shirt, balled it up, and shoved it in his mouth. He turned his back to him to put on the white shirt but could still feel the intense heat of that gaze.

Yu Haozhou’s ears turned red.

Zhou Zizheng pulled the shirt out of his mouth, curled his lips, and thought to himself: My wife is so cute.

When it came time to change his pants, Yu Haozhou could clearly feel Zhou Zizheng’s closeness, his gaze fixed on him. He cursed him for being a pervert. After buttoning up, Yu Haozhou pushed him away. “What are you looking at? Mine’s bigger than yours anyway.”

Zhou Zizheng laughed again.

Yu Haozhou opened the car door and ran into the civil affairs bureau.

When they came out again, they each held a small red book.

Looking at the photo of the two of them leaning against each other, Yu Haozhou’s mood was a little complicated.

—

The two families’ marriage news had not been officially announced yet.

The Xie family wanted to hold Zhou Zizheng’s family recognition dinner and engagement ceremony together. At the recognition dinner, he would be formally acknowledged and change his surname back to Xie.

Before Zhou Zizheng found his family, he lived with the grandmother who had adopted him. The name Zhou Zizheng was given to him by his grandmother. Although he didn’t know its meaning, now that his grandmother had passed away, he didn’t want to erase the last memory of her.

So he insisted on keeping the name Zhou Zizheng, a name he had grown accustomed to over the years.

Zhou Zizheng’s mother had a difficult birth and was left with health problems, so he was her only child. Now that he had been found, she would naturally agree to anything he wanted.

As for his father, strictly speaking, he had little say in front of his wife.

After learning a bit about his family, Yu Haozhou felt that the richest family wasn’t as dark as he had imagined. After all, in most wealthy families, there are usually a bunch of illegitimate children waiting to fight over the inheritance.

But the Xie family was an exception, which meant he wouldn’t have to get involved in any so-called high-society drama. This saved him a lot of trouble.

The day after getting their marriage certificate, Yu Haozhou moved into the new house that Zhou Zizheng’s rich parents had gifted them. The house was a top-floor penthouse in the city center with a massive garden terrace. It was two units combined.

Even Yu Haozhou, a young master accustomed to a luxurious lifestyle, was stunned by this house. So this was the power of the richest family. They could buy two apartments in the city center worth hundreds of millions of yuan without batting an eye. His family’s liquid assets were only enough to buy one.

Seeing the rare look of astonishment in Yu Haozhou’s eyes, Zhou Zizheng was in a great mood. He didn’t care where he lived as long as Yu Haozhou was with him.

More than the mansion, he was happy to see this more authentic side of Yu Haozhou. Zhou Zizheng walked over, hooked his arm around Yu Haozhou’s neck, and pulled him into an embrace. “Well, do you feel like marrying me isn’t such a bad deal after all?”

Yu Haozhou’s immediate reaction was to elbow him.

Having anticipated this, Zhou Zizheng steadily caught his elbow and smoothly slid his hand down to his palm, opening his tightly clenched fist and lacing their fingers together.

Yu Haozhou made a sound of disgust but didn’t struggle much. “Zhou Zizheng, don’t pretend to be so madly in love with me. I’m not falling for it!”

“Okay.” Zhou Zizheng whispered in his ear, “We’ll see—”

He glanced ahead to make sure both sets of parents and the butler who was showing them the house weren’t paying attention. Zhou Zizheng quickly kissed the side of his face. “Wifey~”

“I’ll kill you.” Yu Haozhou ruined the mood. He struggled to break free, but Zhou Zizheng held on tight. Yu Haozhou tilted his head and violently rubbed his face against Zhou Zizheng’s shoulder to wipe off the saliva. “Zhou Zizheng, you win.”

When it came to being disgusting, he was unbeatable.
