Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

Ye Qingqing went to take a shower, while Song Yun lay on the bed, scrolling through his phone waiting for his wife to make her dazzling entrance.

"Ring ring ring~ Ring ring ring~"

Ye Qingqing's phone rang, and Song Yun walked to the bathroom door with the phone and asked, "Wife, someone's calling you."

"Answer it for me!"

"I can do that, but you have to listen to me later, okay?"

Song Yun chuckled, taking advantage of the situation, and then answered the call.

"Hello, who's this?"

"Hello, I'm looking for Qingqing; is she busy right now?"

"She's in the shower, what's up? You can tell me."

The voice on the other end sounded very gentle, and from this alone, one could roughly imagine that the girl must also be a ladylike person in real life.

"Alright... could you please tell Qingqing that Chi Lu called her? Ask her to call back when she has a chance, thank you."

After saying this, Chi Lu hung up the call.

At this moment, Ye Qingqing came out, wrapped in a bath towel, drying her hair with a towel.

"Who was that?"

"Someone named Chi Lu. Do you know her?"

Hearing Song Yun's words, Ye Qingqing raised her eyebrows slightly, looking quite surprised.

"Chi Lu is a very good friend of mine; back then, she, I, and Li Shishi were called the Iron Triangle~ It's just that later, she went abroad arranged by her family, and we haven't been in touch much these years."

"Then call her back."

Ye Qingqing nodded, took the phone, and dialed back, but who knows what the two women discussed over the call. Ye Qingqing, however, looked very happy after hanging up.

After drying her hair, she lay on Song Yun's chest and said, "Husband, Chi Lu is coming back to the country tomorrow~ Shall we go pick her up?"

"Sure, do you want to contact Li Shishi to join us?"

"Oh right, I totally forgot about that."

Ye Qingqing called Li Shishi again, but unfortunately, Li Shishi was on her way to Europe on a ferry.

"Little siren~ It's time to rest~"

Song Yun saw Ye Qingqing hang up the phone, and his hand involuntarily reached out...

The next day, at Magic Capital hp Airport.

Song Yun stood at the arrival gate with his arm around Ye Qingqing, waiting.

As various airplanes landed, the big screen showed that the plane Chi Lu was on had arrived.

Ye Qingqing looked eagerly into the distance and after about ten minutes, she excitedly grabbed Song Yun's hand and shouted, "Husband, Lu Lu's out!"

Following the direction his wife was pointing, Song Yun saw a woman wearing a white dress, exuding an air of literacy, with a face that was no less stunning than that of an A-list celebrity.

"Lu Lu! Over here!"

Ye Qingqing waved her arms vigorously, shouting aloud.

```

Chi Lu was also very excited to see Ye Qingqing, running over quickly in her low-heeled shoes.

The embrace of two exquisite beauties drew the sideways glances of many men; there was no helping it, these two women were like beams of light in the night, making all other women seem like dust dancing in their brilliance.

"Let's go, Lu Lu, I've specially reserved a table at your favorite Sichuan restaurant from before you went abroad."

Ye Qingqing pulled Chi Lu, intending to leave, but a man with uncertain footsteps approached from not too far away.

"Lu Lu, you didn't even tell me when you returned to the country?"

This man's gaze roamed over Chi Lu unrestrainedly, swallowing saliva continuously as if she were a delectable meal in his eyes.

"Wu Qingbo, what are you doing here!"

Ye Qingqing shielded Chi Lu behind her, asking with a hostile expression, "I know you like Chi Lu, but have you ever taken a good look at yourself in the mirror to see if you are worthy of her?"

Wu Qingbo, the young master of a top-tier family in Magic Capital, had been disinterested in everything since childhood except for women, which were his enduring passion. Over the years, the Wu family had invested countless funds in him, but Wu Qingbo had squandered and played his way through life, showcasing the epitome of a wastrel.

"Miss Ye Qingqing! I'm saying you're a married woman, why meddle in so much?"

Wu Qingbo stepped forward, wanting to approach Chi Lu, but Ye Qingqing blocked him again.

"Wu Qingbo! I'm warning you, don't try anything foolish, or not even the Wu family can protect you!"

"Oh, my, oh, my. Now the Ye family truly is a prominent clan in Magic Capital, scaring the daylights out of poor little me," Wu Qingbo said sarcastically, "I've come to pick up my fiancée, surely you can't object to that, can you?"

"Fiancée???"

Ye Qingqing was stunned; she turned to look at Chi Lu, her eyes full of questions.

As long as Chi Lu shook her head, she could rightfully drive this rogue away, but to her surprise, Chi Lu wore a troubled expression and reluctantly nodded.

Receiving this news, Ye Qingqing looked shockingly at Chi Lu, grabbing her shoulder and asking, "Lu Lu, how can you marry such a man? Don't you know what Wu Qingbo is..."

"Qingqing, let me explain it to you later..."

Chi Lu pursed her lips, filled with reluctance in her gaze, looking at Wu Qingbo and pleading, "I've just returned to the country, can't I catch up with a friend? Please, give me some personal space!"

"Heh, good things come to those who wait. I know you, Chi Lu, are arrogant and look down on me, but that's the reality. Just wait a few more days and see how I 'deal' with you!"

Wu Qingbo sneered and made a grabbing gesture in the air, then turned and left.

Having watched the whole scene, Song Yun roughly understood the predicament Chi Lu faced, nothing more than the entanglements between powerful families: arranged marriages.

In this world, if not for a common interest, no alliance is solid, and such situations are bound to arise at a certain level of union.

It seemed that Chi Lu was the sacrifice her family had decided upon.

Their marriage would make at least three of the four parties happy, with the two families gaining deeper mutual benefits, and Wu Qingbo getting the beauty, so the opinions of a few would hardly matter.

After Wu Qingbo had left, Ye Qingqing looked worriedly at Chi Lu and asked, "Lu Lu, is there really no other way?"

After all, Wu Qingbo appeared to be a man of excessive indulgences, unlikely to be liked by any decent woman.

"Qingqing, if I had a choice, would I have returned to the country?" Chi Lu sighed with a resigned look, "You and I were both born into great families, you should know that marriage is but a tool, and love is but a luxury, unattainable and out of reach. The family's commands take precedence over an individual's will; that's just how it is."

"Lu Lu, if you don't want to marry Wu Qingbo, let me think of a way for you!"

After pondering for a while, Ye Qingqing seemed to make up her mind; she looked pitifully at Song Yun, who usually disdained to handle such family matters, but how could he refuse a request from his lady? Helping out a little was no big deal.

He nodded subtly without making a sound.

"Qingqing, I appreciate your kindness, truly," Chi Lu said, "After all, marrying Wu Qingbo isn't so bad, it means I can return to Magic Capital at least, and from now on, you and I can often be together as sisters!"
