    ① The two entered side by side, their politeness unlike that of newlyweds. The marriage registration process went smoothly. When they received their marriage certificate, Lu Ning glanced at their passport photos. During the photoshoot, the photographer had reminded them to smile. Lu Ning slightly tugged at the corners of her lips. Because of the height difference, she hadn't seen Pei Shili's expression, but now she noticed that his thin lips were slightly pursed, clearly indicating he hadn't heard the photographer's instruction. No wonder the photographer had looked embarrassed earlier, and his expression when checking the photos at the end was also strange. The two looked so well-matched, with excellent temperaments, not like they were in a forced relationship, but their behavior clearly showed they weren't familiar with each other. When the photographer handed them the photos, he said "Happy Wedding" as usual. Lu Ning thanked him. After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lu Ning put the marriage certificate into her bag. Since they had no feelings for each other, they naturally kept their marriage certificates separately.

    The readers of this post are here specifically for the "business marriage, love after marriage" trope, which perfectly matches the core setting of your novel. You can post it. 📖 *Qi Si* (栖司): The business marriage she wanted: a perfect match, a wealthy heiress vs. A business tycoon. The blind date was like negotiating a business deal, with three rules agreed upon, each living their own lives. Later, he wanted to move into her old house, and after thinking about it, she agreed. The love after marriage she wanted: not "I love you," but "I care"; not "marrying the right person," but "just right." The male lead is obsessive and jealous, the female lead is aloof and has boundaries. He pursues her with a nod, she frowns and he takes a step back. Both are virgins, happy ending. 📕 *Qi Si* by Chen Xinzi gcy
