From Runaway Bride to Badass Power Couple

When Wennie Hilger received the household registration book, it was already 4:30 in the morning.

At this late hour, the Hilger family was fast asleep, from top to bottom.

Only she, purposely staying up until this time, sneaked into her father Cord Hilger's study, anxiously searching for something.

She hadn't returned to the Hilger family for over ten years, as her stepmother, Marly, had always rejected her.

Ever since Marly married her father, she sent her to her grandmother in another city, where she was raised.

If it weren't for the Hilger family's daughter becoming engaged to a disfigured vegetable, her stepmother would never have thought of having her father call her back and replace her sister in marriage.

Wennie opened the bottom drawer of the desk and finally found the household registration book she was looking for.

She immediately took out the household registration book and concealed it in her bosom, then sent a message to Ankit.

"I've got the household registration book!"

With this household registration book, she could marry Ankit and completely leave the Hilger family.

Although she only had a brief encounter with Ankit, she saved his life.

He promised to marry her as a repayment.

Wennie was now eager to escape the pit that was the Hilger family. Besides marrying Ankit, she had no other choice.

If she continued to stay in the Hilger family, she would undoubtedly be destined to marry the disfigured vegetable in place of her sister!

"Wait at the entrance!"

Ankit Capps quickly replied to her.

Holding her phone, Wennie quietly left the study.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly!

It was still dark outside, and the Hilger family's villa was unusually quiet.

Nobody had noticed her sneaking out.

However, Wennie's heart was still pounding nervously. She held her breath, tensed up all over, and quickened her pace to leave. It wasn't until she stepped out of the Hilger family villa's gate that her heart finally relaxed. A black sedan approached from a distance and stopped in front of her.

"Get in the car!"

The window rolled down, revealing a deep and cold handsome face. It was Ankit. So far, apart from his name, she knew almost nothing about him. She didn't even know what he did or who was in his family.

A few months ago, when Wennie was on an overseas archaeological expedition, she saved him from an avalanche. The two of them spent three days and three nights together in the freezing snow, waiting for rescue. During those three days and nights, in order to survive, she could only use her body to keep him warm. It was because of this that after they were rescued, Ankit offered to take responsibility for her as a repayment.

Wennie had no intention of making him responsible. But considering the forced marriage by the Hilger family and her own situation, she jokingly said, "If you really want to repay me, why not marry me?"

"Okay!"

She didn't expect him to agree! Wennie looked at the man in front of her, his perfect and god-like features. After hesitating for a moment, she finally opened the passenger door and got in. The sky was already bright.

Ankit stepped on the accelerator and drove her away from the Hilger family villa. Wennie looked at the rising sun on the horizon. There was suddenly a sense of escaping from a cage!

"We've arrived!"

After an unknown amount of time, Ankit stopped the car. Wennie snapped back to her senses and looked out through the window. She noticed that his car was already parked in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Do you... really want to marry me?" Wennie turned around to confirm once again.

Ankit glanced at her deeply. "Regretting it?"

"No, I’m not!" Wennie shook her head, her expression complicated. She was afraid that he would regret it! He was stern and steady, not seeming like someone who acted impulsively. Would it be too hasty to marry her just to repay her for saving his life?

However, before Wennie could say anything else, Ankit had already opened the car door and stepped out. Helplessly, she could only follow him out of the car.

"Let's go!"

Ankit only said one sentence to her before turning and walking towards the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Wennie could only silently follow behind him.

Signing, taking photos, stamping... When they walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, they were holding two red household registration books in their hands.

There was an indescribable feeling in Wennie's heart. She was getting married just like that? To a man she had only met twice? Ankit, who was walking in front of her, suddenly stopped. "You keep this card, the password is 7777. I will deposit the living expenses into it every month on the 1st," he said, handing her a gold-embossed bank card.

Wennie's expression froze. Although they had obtained their marriage certificate, in her heart, they were still strangers who had just gotten married. It made her feel uneasy when he suddenly handed her a card to hold onto. Instinctively, she shook her head and said, "No need, I have my own money..."

Ankit was very serious and stern. "Since we are married, I should take care of you!" Wennie quickly waved her hand and said, "No, we should each take care of our own expenses, let's go Dutch!" He was willing to marry her when she was in her most vulnerable state, and she was already grateful to him.

She didn't want to take advantage of him anymore. Taking care of the family after marriage should not be the responsibility of one person alone, she should also contribute.

"No need to go Dutch, I will support you from now on!" Ankit said with an uncompromising tone.

Sensing that he didn't like being defied, Wennie didn't insist further. However, she would definitely strive to be self-reliant in the future and wouldn't need him to support her.

Following that, Ankit handed her a bunch of car keys. "You drive my car back!" Wennie was startled. "Go back where?" She had just escaped from the Hilger family after stealing the household registration book, so now she was essentially homeless! Where could she go now?

"Frivolous Palace, come live with me there!" Ankit said in a low voice. Wennie was shocked and asked, "Frivolous Palace?" That was the wealthy area in the east of the city, where the residents were either rich or influential.

Did he... Ankit calmly explained, "It's my friend's house!" Wennie suddenly understood and nodded, "Oh!" She felt relieved. She thought he was not an ordinary person.

It seemed like she was overthinking it! "I have something else to do, I'll have to leave now!" Ankit's handsome face showed no expression as he turned and left. Wennie stood frozen in place.

Was she being abandoned right after getting married? She was lost for a few seconds in the wind. She remembered that before leaving, Ankit gave her the car keys. Luckily, he left his car for her.

Holding the car keys, Wennie walked over, opened the car door, and sat in the driver's seat. As Ankit left the Civil Affairs Bureau, he arrived at a certain intersection. A luxury car pulled up the Chinese edition of a Rolls-Royce stopped in front of him.

A few bodyguard cars followed behind.

"Boss!"

The bodyguards were the first to get off and respectfully opened the car door for him.

Before getting into the car, Ankit instructed, "Notify the person in charge of Frivolous Palace and make all the arrangements!"

The bodyguards nodded respectfully, saying, "Yes!"

Ankit, in fact, was a billionaire and the newly returned heir to a wealthy consortium in the country...

And Frivolous Palace was one of the real estate developments he opened upon his return.
