After being attacked by the rich young ladies with hatchets, I chose to enter "sage mode".

Standing at the school gate, Bai Yu had promised Murong Liyue that he would go with her to get their marriage certificate, so he got up early in the morning and ran to the agreed-upon school gate before Su Rongxue even got up.

Murong Liyue has always been a very punctual person. She had arranged to meet Bai Yu at seven o'clock, and Bai Yu arrived at six fifty, and Murong Liyue arrived a few minutes later.

Looking at this girl carrying a small leather bag, wearing a blue suspender dress with a white undershirt, her already aloof appearance, combined with the cool-toned clothes, made her seem even colder, like ice that never melts.

In addition, this girl likes to wear hairpins in her hair, which makes her temperament even more outstanding. No one dares to approach her within a two-meter radius; her aura is too strong.

"President, should we go directly, or do we need to complete some other procedures?"

Murong Liyue, who had just stepped up to Bai Yu and heard his words, simply replied with a single word.

"Walk."

"what?"

Although I don't quite understand why Murong Liyue didn't answer my question, since she told me to leave, I might as well go. Asking more questions wouldn't hurt, since this was something this girl was in charge of anyway.

After hailing a taxi, Bai Yu followed Murong Liyue into the car. Throughout the ride, this girl didn't say a single word to Bai Yu. Her cold and aloof expression was like ice, and her eyes stared out the window without any emotion.

This oppressive feeling made Bai Yu afraid to say a word, fearing that she might say something wrong and cause a bad reaction. She could only pretend not to see her emotions and deliberately look out the window.

The car soon arrived at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

As she got out of the car, Murong Liyue stood by the roadside waiting for Bai Yu to get out as well.

Looking at this girl who still hadn't said a word to him, Bai Yu always felt uneasy, and could even sense the dangerous aura of her anger.

As for why they were angry, there's no need to overthink it; it's definitely because of Si Yu and the others.

"President, shall we just go in?"

"Ah."

She nodded indifferently, then turned and walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Looking at her slender back, Bai Yu couldn't stand this cold treatment any longer, so she spoke directly.

“Liyue, if you have something to say, just say it. This kind of passive-aggressive behavior is not good for either of us. You should know that.”

"Let's talk about it after we get the marriage certificate."

Without saying much, he continued walking forward, and his answers were very simple.

Seeing that Murong Liyue didn't want to talk about it right now, Bai Yu had no choice but to go with her to get the certificate first.

Chapter 176 That Moment of Understanding

Because of their connections, Bai Yu and Murong Liyue didn't go through the normal procedures for getting documents like ordinary people. Instead, as soon as they entered, a middle-aged woman led them to an office with a smile.

Bai Yu didn't know whether it was Murong Liyue or her mother Murong Meng who had smoothed things over. After all, no matter how you looked at it, Murong Meng's connections were definitely stronger than Murong Liyue's. But if it was Murong Meng, how could she possibly allow it?

However, Bai Yu quickly got the answer to this question from the middle-aged woman.

"Miss Murong, these are the completed documents. Since you were in a hurry, we've almost finished processing everything and are just waiting for your confirmation. Once you confirm that everything is in order, you can log in online to verify your identity."

Looking at the two red booklets that the middle-aged woman took out from her office cabinet, I saw the words "Marriage Certificate" written on them.

Reaching out to take the documents, Murong Liyue flipped through them and saw her own photo and Bai Yu's photo. A hint of joy flashed clearly in her eyes.

For her, this was exactly what she wanted, and now that she had it, the joy she felt at that moment was like a long-awaited wish suddenly being fulfilled—it was incredibly fulfilling and dreamlike.

"Thank you, Sister Liu. I'll treat you to a meal sometime."

Although Murong Liyue's tone remained as cold as ever, a hint of joy could be clearly heard mixed in.

The middle-aged woman whom she called Sister Liu was also very happy to hear this, and stood up to shake hands with Murong Liyue.

"These are not big problems. In the future, if Miss Murong needs anything done but doesn't have time to do it, as long as it's within my power, I will definitely do my best to help you."

She reached out and shook hands with Sister Liu. Murong Liyue wasn't so arrogant as to refuse to shake hands, especially since the other person had indeed helped her.

"This must be Miss Murong's man... now he should be her husband, and he's quite a handsome guy, hello."

Bai Yu originally thought that this matter had nothing to do with him, so he hadn't said a word. But now that Sister Liu had spoken to him, he couldn't just sit there doing nothing anymore.

He quickly stood up and reached out to shake hands with Sister Liu, but Murong Liyue pulled his hand back as soon as he did.

"We're all friends, there's no need for such formalities, please sit down."

Actually, Bai Yu got up to shake hands with Sister Liu, and Sister Liu was also about to get up, but unexpectedly, Murong Liyue pulled Bai Yu back.

Although her words quickly eased the awkward atmosphere and brought Sister Liu a step closer to her, Sister Liu could clearly sense that Murong Liyue did not want Bai Yu to shake her hand.

In fact, this was exactly what she had thought. Murong Liyue didn't want Bai Yu to shake hands with women, and she felt very uncomfortable with any contact with women.

She was a bit of a germaphobe; Bai Yu could only belong to her, both physically and emotionally.

She could stop Bai Yu from contacting many, many women, but she couldn't stop him from going to great lengths to get close to Si Yu, Su Rongxue, Qing Sisi, and Lin Ying.

This is why Murong Liyue is so angry today; in fact, she started feeling unwell after leaving the hotel room yesterday.

Even though she knew Bai Yu had no other choice, she still found it hard to accept the reality of having to share her unique and irreplaceable lover.

However, Bai Yu must have known this as well, because this girl is an extremely possessive person.

But he took advantage of Murong Liyue's soft heart.

Even though he had done many things to wrong her in his previous life, she always said she wanted to kill him and eat him, but he never actually did it because she was always soft-hearted and hesitant.

So Bai Yu took advantage of her soft heart and told her his story in detail. Even though Murong Liyue would definitely not be able to accept the other girls, her soft heart made her hesitate and think about how hard Bai Yu had worked.

Don't say that Bai Yu is being despicable by exploiting Murong Liyue's weaknesses to slowly make her compromise. If he doesn't exploit these weaknesses, what other methods could he use?

"Sister Liu, thank you so much for your help this time."

Although Bai Yu did not shake hands with Sister Liu, she still expressed her gratitude.

Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Sister Liu smiled and waved her hand in response.

"In accordance with normal principles, only Miss Murong is old enough to get a marriage certificate, while you are not. However, I can see that you really want to get a marriage certificate. So, rules are rigid, but people are flexible. As the saying goes, 'Tear down another temple rather than destroy a marriage.'"

Although Sister Liu spoke lightly, Bai Yu could tell that she was only trying to make things sound nice.

To put it bluntly, this whole thing was done because of Murong Liyue. Otherwise, how could someone without power or influence receive such treatment?

However, even though she knew it, Bai Yu still had to put on a smiling face.

After a brief moment of restraint, Murong Liyue left the Civil Affairs Bureau with two certificates.

As soon as Bai Yu stepped out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, she couldn't wait to ask why Murong Liyue hadn't spoken to her before.

"President, now that you've received your credentials, please say what you want to say. Can you please stop with the silent treatment?"

She handed the marriage certificate to Bai Yu, and then Murong Liyue took out her phone and gestured for Bai Yu to open the marriage certificate before snapping a few pictures.

Seeing this, Bai Yu knew that this girl definitely wanted to post it on her WeChat Moments, but he didn't stop her because there was no point in stopping her. If it's going to be public, then it's public. It wasn't a big deal to begin with.

But he was too naive. He didn't know when this girl had created a group chat with Su Rongxue and the others, and she directly posted her marriage certificate in the group.

If Bai Yu hadn't been standing so close and seen Su Rongxue and the others' profile pictures, she wouldn't have even known that they had created a group chat.

However, this group is definitely not for maintaining or improving relationships; it's more of an infighting group where people torment each other.

Bai Yu really hadn't expected this; the girls would actually create a group chat to mess with each other's mentality.

However, this group was most likely established by Murong Liyue, and only this girl could come up with such underhanded tricks.

Just as Bai Yu was thinking that it had actually been posted, and that it might cause some trouble later, since the girls all knew that he would definitely get a marriage certificate with this girl, the next moment Murong Liyue opened the school's online forum.

Without saying a word, he posted a photo of his marriage certificate, along with a photo of himself and Bai Yu.

It's obvious that this girl wants everyone to know about her marriage to Bai Yu, whether it's Su Rongxue and the others or people at school.

"Keep your documents safe. You can get two extra credits by taking them to your advisor."

Hearing Murong Liyue's nonchalant words, Bai Yu wondered if she should be happy about getting two extra credits.

"society..."

"What are you yelling about?"

Staring at Bai Yu, Murong Liyue's eyes held a hint of displeasure, and her already cold and aloof demeanor was even more pronounced at this moment.

Bai Yu was momentarily unaware of what she had done wrong and completely failed to grasp her point.

"W-what's wrong?"

Under normal circumstances, Bai Yu would definitely be able to react instantly, but he was a little slow to react after being glared at by this girl.

"I've got my ID. What's your name?"

The displeasure in his voice was tinged with anger.

"Oh, my dear wife, so this is what it is! You startled me. I just forgot to change how I address you. Don't mind me. I'll call you 'wife' a few more times to make up for it. Wife, wife, wife."

After realizing what had happened, Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and kept calling her "wife, wife."

Hearing Bai Yu call her "wife" repeatedly, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble.

This tremor had a slightly different feel to it, mainly because this girl was prone to getting aroused.

"Say it a few more times!"

The girl, who was as cold as ice a second ago, suddenly had her eyes filled with tears when Bai Yu kept calling her "wife, wife."

Seeing this, Bai Yu knew that if this girl continued to listen to him call her "wife," something would definitely happen, so he had to stop.

"I can call you 'Wife Murong' anytime. We're already married, and I've called you that a million times over. Let's go back first, and you can hear it however you want when we get back, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Liyue did not refuse. After nodding, she reached out to Bai Yu to take her hand.

Seeing this, Bai Yu reached out and grasped her slightly cold hand.

"Honey, your hands are a bit cold. If it's due to uterine coldness, you can get some traditional Chinese medicine to drink to regulate your body. This will make you feel much better, and you won't be so afraid of the cold in winter."

"I understand, do you want to have children after you've recovered?"

"what?"

Bai Yu was originally telling Murong Liyue about her current physical problems and suggesting that she take care of them, since good health is the foundation of everything.

But he really didn't expect this girl to suddenly ask so bluntly whether or not she wanted a child.

Su Rongxue and Si Yu both said they wanted a baby, which was cute and a little subtle, though not exactly subtle. But Murong Liyue was different; she directly said she wanted a child but didn't want one.

"Wife Murong, you shouldn't ask me this kind of question, you should ask yourself. Do you really want it? If you don't want it, we can do without it. If you do want it, I will fulfill my responsibility that you just give birth and I will take care of raising the child."

Bai Yu knew very well that Murong Liyue's desire to have a baby was mostly a way of competing with Lin Ying.
