Chapter 372: Chapter 372: Proposal in the Civil Affairs Bureau Conference Room
The deep, alluring voice simultaneously reached the other’s ear: "Wife, I’ve recorded everything you said tonight. If you run away now, I’ll upload the recording online tomorrow, and the whole world will know you abandoned me."
Lin Mubai always adhered to one principle, which was that a wife could be adored, even to the extent of unconditional pampering, but in certain crucial matters, he still needed to be tough. Just like at this moment, concerning the marriage, to successfully take her home, he didn’t mind using all means.
"Lin Mubai, you are shameless." She calculated everything but never imagined that this man would use trickery. How could she have impulsively forgotten this man’s identity, the youngest CEO of Lin Group in B City? Managing a mere civil affairs bureau director wouldn’t be difficult for him.
An Nan was now exceedingly regretful, almost wishing she could strangle this bastard man immediately; he was truly too cunning, even resorting to such a marriage scam.
No matter how much she struggled, used her hands and feet, he didn’t give her any chance to retreat, directly pulling her into the civil affairs building.
Since they walked through the front door, he kept holding her tightly in his embrace, as if loosening his grip would make her disappear.
Just as An Nan thought this man would drag her to the counter to get a marriage certificate without considering her wishes, he suddenly stopped in front of her. Next, An Nan heard him say to the so-called Director Huang: "Director Huang, can you give us a room? I want to have a private talk with my fiancée."
The other party merely assumed this couple wished to discuss some important private matters before marriage and immediately nodded to agree: "Alright, you can talk in there, I’ll be waiting in the front hall." He pointed to the room behind him and then turned to leave.
When he had walked away, Lin Mubai leaned wearily against the wall, his heart starting to worry.
"How exactly should we handle getting the marriage certificate tonight?" It was indeed a troubling matter.
That evening, as he slept sweetly, he received a call from this gentleman, telling him to rush to the bureau within ten minutes because he intended to marry. His first reaction was that someone was playing a prank. But then the voice continued over the phone, essentially implying that if he messed up, he’d bear the consequences.
With a start in his heart, his sleepiness disappeared. Realizing that if it was genuine and he didn’t go, it really would be disastrous.
Carrying this anxious feeling, he arrived at the entrance of the civil affairs bureau, waiting in the security room and thinking that if someone actually came, they’d certainly reach the entrance first. If no one showed, he’d go back to sleep. Luckily, they came, and the big affair didn’t fall apart.
Without waiting for An Nan to react, she was pulled into an empty room again, which was clearly a conference room. But what was the purpose of coming here?
As An Nan’s suspicion grew stronger, she witnessed an incredibly shocking scene.
The man who was originally standing in front of her slowly kneeled on one knee before her, and as he knelt, a delicate box appeared in his right hand.
At this moment, An Nan was completely stunned. Trembling, she stood, covering her mouth with her hands, disbelievingly watching the scene before her, even thinking she was dreaming, as everything seemed so unreal.
