Twenty million! Luo Chao was taken aback, his eyes couldn't help but light up with golden sparkles. My goodness, this is equivalent to an annual salary of ten million, it's incredibly tempting.

Even if Luo Chao signed this agreement, he wouldn't lose anything. He just had to hold the baby every day, and only for an hour, it's not like he's a full-time nanny. After two years, they'd get divorced. Is there anything better than this in the world?

Luo Chao, who never believed that pies fall from the sky, today started to believe it. He looked at Ning Wanxi, "Is there really such a great thing?"

"I think you should understand, twenty million is nothing to me. I just hope Doudou can grow up healthy and happy until he's two," Ning Wanxi said coolly.

With Tengyuan Group possessing assets worth billions, twenty million is indeed nothing to Ning Wanxi, the president of the group. It's just a drop in the ocean. But for Luo Chao, it's different. He comes from a rural family with poor conditions, and he's a security guard. Twenty million is more money than he could spend in a lifetime.

Luo Chao still felt a bit odd and asked, "President Ning, Tengyuan Group has thousands of male employees, why would you choose me, a little security guard?"

"You are laid-back and lack ambition, so I think you'll be very content," Ning Wanxi said unhurriedly. "I don't want to bring in an ungrateful person."

As they say, contentment brings happiness. Luo Chao found joy in being a security guard, and despite having excellent driving skills, he was content with his role, showing he lacked ambition.

Of course, this was Ning Wanxi's speculation. The most important reason she didn't voice was that Luo Chao had strong arms and a solid chest, providing a warm embrace for the baby, something those pretty boys couldn't offer.

So it turns out to be like this. Luo Chao chuckled; no wonder if President Ning really found an ungrateful person as a fake husband, it would be such a trouble.

"Alright, since President Ning values me so much, I agree," Luo Chao said, unable to suppress a laugh, and swiftly signed his name on the agreement.

Who could refuse money? Besides, this was an effortless task. Luo Chao certainly wouldn't refuse, though facing a stunning yet cold face every day was a bit uncomfortable.

Ning Wanxi took the agreement, signed her name on it as well—two copies, one for each of them—and then, they got out of the car and walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

In the hall of the office on the second floor of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the place was empty at this time. No newlyweds were seen, and it was only about 8:30, with civil servants just starting their workday.

"Auntie, could you help us get a marriage certificate?" Ning Wanxi had a slight softness in her face, not as cold as usual.

Luo Chao sat next to her, facing a ponytailed lady around fifty, obediently handing over his household register, placing it on the desk.

"Are you sure you want to get married?" the lady asked skeptically. "Today is April Fool's Day; you're not fooling me, are you? Don't fool yourselves, either."

The lady looked at Luo Chao in a security uniform and Ning Wanxi in a white-collar suit. Even though this OL outfit made the woman look a bit cold, she was prettier than most celebrities by a few measures. The lady's gaze was quite peculiar. Strange things happen every year, but this year seems particularly strange. Such a fine cabbage, how did a pig manage to snatch it?

Even if Luo Chao was tall and handsome, the security uniform directly sentenced him to death in the lady's mind. She shook her head internally. Poor my son, he's an IT engineer in a foreign company, yet his wife is not half as pretty. Comparing people is infuriating!

Luo Chao sensed the lady's resentment, grinned, and said, "Auntie, it's not your era anymore. Getting married on April Fool's Day is the latest trend. Who said you can't marry on April Fool's Day?"

The lady rolled her eyes in anger. This kid's indirectly calling her old and outdated. What's so great about a lousy security guard? My son's month's salary is more than your year's!

Despite her displeasure, the lady had to admit that a mere security guard marrying such a stunning wife was indeed impressive.

Ning Wanxi glanced around the hall with her peripheral vision. It's already 8:30, and still no couples coming in to register. Seems like April Fool's Day isn't considered auspicious.

Ning Wanxi was somewhat impressed by her fake husband's eloquence, as he insulted without using curse words. She softly said, "Auntie, we're here to get a marriage certificate, please help us with the process."

What a beautiful girl, yet she fancies a security guard. Damn it! The lady shook her head regretfully: "Go to the room next door for a photo, then come back."

The photographer was also taken aback by their attires. The jealousy was almost tangible, and he nearly banged his head against the wall. Even as a photographer at the Civil Affairs Bureau, which counts as a government job, he married a Plain Jane while the security guard got the beauty.

This world is dangerous. When security guards can rise up, anything is possible.

When Ning Wanxi and Luo Chao placed their marriage certificate photos in front of the lady, she took out two forms for them to fill out and sign. Once all the procedures were completed, with a bang, the lady stamped the marriage certificate with a bright red seal.

Looking at the marriage certificate in his hand, Luo Chao was full of mixed emotions. Even though it was a nominal marriage, they were truly married. He never thought he'd see the day he'd hold a marriage certificate.

Ning Wanxi held her marriage certificate tightly, her gaze softened, lost in thought. Her feelings seemed even more complicated. Ever since she was young, she detested men and never interacted with them, yet here she was, married at the age of 25.

And Luo Chao was 22. As they say, marrying an older woman is like holding a treasure. But for this convenient wife, Luo Chao didn't dare have any untoward thoughts, lest he ended up with the same fate as the fat guy at their company, thrown to the ground with an over-the-shoulder toss.

Ning Wanxi drove Luo Chao to a spot 200 meters from the company, telling him to walk over himself, adding, "I'll come and get you the day after tomorrow. Be prepared."

With that, Ning Wanxi drove into the parking lot and went to work as usual.

The days of living with his convenient wife were about to begin. Two years sounds both long and short. Luo Chao chuckled at the magical events of the past couple of days. Back at the parking lot, he continued his job as a security guard, as if nothing happened, startling Fatty Du, who wondered how he dared to offend the president and stay unscathed. Impressive!

On the first of each month, Tengyuan Group would promptly distribute the previous month's salary. The next day, Luo Chao happened to have a day off. He took a few thousand from his card and went to a bank near his rental to send the money to his parents in the countryside.

Waiting in line at the bank is extremely boring. Many men and women took out their smartphones, sliding on the big screens to read news and play games. Following suit, Luo Chao reached into his pocket but then shook his head quickly, deciding not to embarrass himself.
