The contents of the marriage license were exposed in front of everyone. The warm yellow light from the luxurious and gorgeous crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling bounced off them beautifully. The light was so dazzling that it blinded everyone in the hall.
Nina was standing in front of John who was less than half a meter away. At this time, her eyes were fixed on the two licenses on the floor. One was open while the other was closed.
The big, bold letters at the top said "Marriage License."
The open one had John's name on it as its holder.
The marriage license had a wedding photo attached to it. In the photo, there was a messy-looking man with an unfathomable expression on his face and a beautiful, brightly smiling woman.
Nina frowned. She found the photo a bit strange, especially the woman in it. Why did she feel like the woman in the photo looked like her?
But she could not be sure.
Nina kept calm, but she was beginning to be a little suspicious. Maybe she was just imagining it. How could she be in a wedding photo with John anyway? Just because she had owned up to her feelings for him did not mean they were actually married.
It was impossible and, truth be told, downright crazy.
'This is just an illusion,
e.
"So, you're my husband?" Nina asked, raising her head and looking at John.
Everyone around was stunned. Several ladies from rich and noble families looked Nina up and down with a revolted expression on their faces.
"This woman is so desperate to establish connections with people in high places. Everyone in Lexingport City knows that Mr. Shi has been single all this time."
"Yes, she is shameless."
"Wait. Didn't you hear what Ms. Shi said just now? That woman must be Mr. Shi's admirer who came here to make trouble. After all, tonight is Mr. Shi and Miss Ye's night. What a perfect time to mess things up, right?"
"She dares to enrage Mr. Shi. She will suffer."
Nina could hear all the whispers. She frowned slightly and waited for John's answer to her question. She was a little scared to hear it, but she had to.
On the other hand, John tuned out all the noise around him and focused on Nina's face. He had been quietly observing her since she opened the marriage licenses.
It seemed that she did not pay that much attention to the photo. She focused on the legal relationship between them.
'That's good,' John told himself.
With a slight smile on his face, he announced loudly and proudly, "Nina is my legal wife."
