Chapter 7
Tang Yu, holding a marriage certificate, walked out of the marriage registration office in a daze.
Just like that, she was married.
She looked at the tall and handsome man beside her. She had never expected that she would marry a man that she had only met for the second time, let alone with someone she had a one-night stand with!
This time, she could count on this, right?
Miles lowered his head as he asked her gently, “Xiao Yu, shall we go to the hospital?”
He understood the meaning of Tang Yu’s name, which meant ‘rain’ in Chinese, so he had given her the nickname ‘Light Rain’.
That had also been the first thing that she had wanted to do.
Since Miles had suggested it, she naturally did not want to be rude and thus accepted the offer.
“Alright!”
Miles pulled on her hand as he walked out. She had wanted to break free reflexively, but after a moment’s hesitation, she gave in.
He had been such a great help. Since they were now married, she would take good care of their marriage.
Miles brought Tang Yu into the car. She examined its interiors in disbelief.
He had a private car and his own chauffeur!
It was the same chauffeur who had driven them to the marriage registration office.
“Are you rich?” Tang Yu asked Miles softly.
He nodded. “Kind of. I’m set to inherit my family’s small assets in the future, but I’m currently focused on my studies.”
Tang Yu understood.
It was a middle-class family.
Asking him to pay a million to her would have emptied his savings, right?
Keeping that in mind, she came to a decision. She would work hard to earn money to support their small family after her graduation.
Reaching the hospital, the pair went to the ICU first.
Although she could not see her father, Tang Yu looked at the thick isolation door and felt somewhat at ease.
Miles put his arm around her shoulder and looked towards the door. He said softly, “Don’t worry, I will take good care of Xiao Yu in the future.”
Tears flowed endlessly down her worried face. “Dad, you must get well soon! I just got married, so I will take care of you from now on!”
Miles paid the outstanding medical bills and personally consulted with the attending doctor.
After learning that her father was saved, Tang Yu was both excited and happy. She felt exhausted as she had been running around for the past few days.
“How about we go home together now?”
Miles invited her as they were walking out of the hospital.
Tang Yu touched her stomach. “But I’m hungry now. Let me treat you to a meal. How about Chinese food?”
He rarely ate Chinese food, but now that he had married a wife from China, Miles figured that perhaps it was time for him to better understand and assimilate into her culture.
He smiled gently. “Sure, bring me to a good restaurant.”
She immediately brought him to her favorite Chinese restaurant.
Tang Yu’s dishes were surprisingly well-suited towards Miles’ palette. Chinese food seemed to have broadened Miles’ horizons.
After all, British food was really terrible.
She wolfed down her food as if she had not eaten for many days.
Miles looked at her and asked, “How long have you been hungry?”
She swallowed down her rice together with the sweet and sour pork. She wiped her mouth before sighing, “My last meal was… Yesterday at noon, I believe? I haven’t eaten anything for the past 24 hours.”
He looked at her with a hint of heartache in his eyes.
Tang Yu was embarrassed by his stares.
She had tried her best to be more elegant. It was not easy for her to hold back from this meal.
After leaving the restaurant, Miles received a call, interrupting their ‘date’.
He hung up the phone before looking at Tang Yu apologetically, “Xiao Yu, I may not be able to accompany you to our new home yet. How about this? I’ll text you the address later and you can take a taxi there yourself. Is that alright?”
