<h4>Chapter 1440: Chapter 1453:</h4>


    Yuwen Kangli’s body suddenly stiffened, and he stood up with a whoosh, kicking over the chair behind him.


    He strode to Han Wanwan, grabbed her arm, and started walking out.


    The Old Master waspletely furious. His grandson, who was doing so well in business, turned into a blockhead when it came to rtionships. Even after living together, he hadn’t made any moves to win her over. Now he was even learning to show a sour face.


    "You brat, where do you think you’re taking Wanwan?"


    "To get the marriage certificate!"


    The Old Master, upon hearing this, finally let his anger dissipate, nced at the leftovers on the table with no appetite, sighed, and then went upstairs using his cane.


    Han Wanwan was forcefully stuffed into the car by Yuwen Kangli. Though she was a bit out of sync, her hearing was fine—get the marriage certificate? Marriage certificate, my foot!


    "Yuwen Kangli, let me tell you, we have an agreement, and it’s clearly written in ck and white that it’s only three months. After three months, you go your way, I go mine on my single-log bridge..."


    Yuwen Kangli sat in the driver’s seat but didn’t rush to start the car. He looked ahead, as if he were thinking.


    "We signed a romantic contract, not a marriage contract," Han Wanwan reminded him. She was a celebrity! A popr star! How could she possibly get married! Let alone to marry Yuwen Kangli!


    The response she got was silence.


    "You’re not really nning to marry me, are you?" Han Wanwan looked at him in shock, her bright eyes staring straight at his sexy lips, worried about hearing an answer she didn’t want.


    Still silent.


    "I’m warning you, you can’t just listen to your grandpa on matters like this. Marriage rests on mutual consent. You don’t like me, and I’m not interested in you..."


    Yuwen Kangli, out of nowhere, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, took one out, lit it, and the pleasant scent wafted through the air. He interrupted her, "Mr. Chu is back."


    "..." Han Wanwan was stunned, what?


    Yuwen Kangli exhaled a circle of smoke and, seeing no response from the person next to him, added, "Mr. Chu is in Shanghai now. I know you like him, he attracts women, and there must be many suitors around him. You can still make it if you go now."


    Han Wanwan stared nkly at him. Clearly, she and he were not on the same wavelength.


    "What are you talking about?"


    How could she be interested in Chu Ge? Haha, what a joke!


    "If you don’t like Chu Ge, then we’ll get the certificate, same three months."


    Get the certificate? Getting a certificate for three months is not the same as dating for three months, okay! What a joke!


    "Hahaha, Yuwen Kangli, that was a terrible joke."


    After chuckling dryly twice, she noticed that Yuwen Kangli was looking at her very seriously...


    For quite a while, she timidly asked, "Didn’t you say you’re only focused on cultivation right now? You’re not seriously nning on marrying me, are you?"


    "Not marriage, just getting the certificate," Yuwen Kangli emphasized, "We won’t have a banquet, nor a wedding."


    He did want to focus on cultivation, but judging from today’s events, if he didn’t get the certificate, his grandfather would never let it go.


    "By the way, I’m going to Shanghai in a few days to find Mr. Chu. I can give you time to think. You don’t have to give me an answer now. What I told Grandpa just now was a stalling tactic, just finding an excuse!"


    Han Wanwan seemed to have discovered some earth-shattering secret, her mouth surprised enough to fit an egg.


    Yuwen Kangli noticed herck of response and realized he had scared her with his earlier attitude. He sighed and said, "You saw it too, Grandpa likes you a lot. Until I bring you back as my wife, I can’t focus on my cultivation."


    He didn’t give her a chance to speak and continued, "I’ll pay you the additional breach of contractpensation as stated in the romantic contract, then sign a prenuptial agreement with you."


    It was not a question but a statement, as if he wereying out a fact to her.


    Han Wanwan suddenly realized what he meant by "not marriage but getting the certificate," the Old Master wanted them to marry, and he only needed a red marriage certificate to report back?


    This meant that for them getting the certificate was just acting in front of the Old Master, and to the world, they had nothing to do with each other?


    "Get the certificate, then divorce..." In legal terms, that would mean a second marriage.


    Yes, she admitted, the so-called second marriage title meant nothing to Yuwen Kangli because such a title couldn’t shake the stature of the mighty Yuwen Kangli. With a snap of his fingers, thousands of women would throw themselves at him, but she was different!


    She was a star! Also, the eldest daughter of the Han Family, how could she let something like divorce happen to her!


    No, no, absolutely can’t agree to this!


    Han Wanwan instinctively resisted.


    "Rest assured, I won’t expose it, I won’t let the media know about your marriage, as long as..." Yuwen Kangli suddenly showed a harmless, slight smile, paused, and said, "as long as you strictly follow our three-Chapter agreement."


    "What if I insist?" At this moment, Han Wanwan was no longer in the mood to spar with him...


    "You have no choice. I’m giving you four days. After four days, even if you wanted to beg me for the certificate, there’d be no chance."


    Han Wanwan silently showed Yuwen Kangli a middle finger in her mind. No choice? Why don’t you just say you’re ready to force it!


    Han Wanwan returned the unsigned check to him and decisively said, "No need to consider, no way!"


    "By the way, you mentioned four days. Are you going to Shanghai after four days?"


    Han Wanwan asked.


    Yuwen Kangli nodded, "I’m going to find Mr. Chu."


    "Just now, you gave me two options: either go find Chu Ge immediately or get the certificate with you and then find Chu Ge, right?"


    Yuwen Kangli nodded.


    "I choose the first one, I’ll go find Chu Ge directly!"


    Han Wanwan said, word for word.


    A hint of hurt shed across Yuwen Kangli’s eyes, but he quickly regained hisposure, "Then I’ll buy the ticket together."


    Han Wanwan thought about it and curiously asked, "What are you going to do about your grandpa?"


    "Don’t worry, I’ll sort it out myself,"


    Yuwen Kangli smiled slightly, "However, right now we’re still under contract, and we still need to put on a good show."


    Han Wanwan pouted, crossed her arms over her chest, and said, "I know that! No need for you to remind me!"


    ...


    Chu Gey on the bed, looking sullen, "Li Hua, didn’t you say Jian Chunqiu has already arrived in Shanghai? Why hasn’t hee to find us yet?"


    He especially wanted to know how to go back now, he especially wanted to know if he could still return!


    Li Hua also looked wretched, "I don’t know either, he called before saying he would arrive today; maybe he got dyed on the way?"
