Gu Jinglian stared at her as she lowered her head, took the pen and focused on filling in the forms. With her head lowered, her hair fell lightly over her forehead, covering her eyes.
Gu Jinglian subconsciously reached out and tucked her hair behind her ear.
Chu He was stunned. She was clearly not used to his intimate actions and said with an awkward expression, “I’m fine.”
Gu Jinglian came back to his senses and realized what he was doing. With an odd expression, he retracted his hand and turned his head away with a gloomy expression. He lazily rested his chin on his hand and stopped looking at her.
After completing the forms, Chu He stood up and walked to the window. However, being told that they had to have their thumb prints taken, she returned to Gu Jinglian, saying “You have to come along.”
“Whatever for?”
“To put our marks on the document.”
“Put our marks?”
Chu He’s description was obviously inadequate, so the idea of a contract of sale immediately came to Gu Jinglian’s mind.
Was this a marriage certificate or a deed to sell themselves? They were actually required to put their marks on the document?
Chu He marched back to the window with the man in tow. Then she pointed at the printing ink and said, “Have your print taken!”
Gu Jinglian looked icy at this point and his expression darkened. So a thumbprint was required.
The staff looked up and saw a grouchy Gu Jinglian inking his finger. He could not help but silently grumbled, could this be what they call a forced marriage?
After Gu Jinglian placed his thumbprint in the signature box, he returned to his seat.
Chu He asked the staff, “Is that all? Where are the documents?”
“…”
The staff had never come across such a weirdo. She replied patiently, “Do you have photos?”
“Photos? What sort of photos?”
“The photos for the marriage certificate.”
Chu He was confused and asked a considerably ridiculous question. “Do we need photos for the marriage certificate?”
“…”
Where did this weirdo come from!?
Did she really not know that photos were needed for the marriage certificate?
The staff took a deep breath, then picked up the 2-inch standard photograph provided by the previous couple and showed it to her. “Here! Photos like these. You guys definitely don’t have them, right?”
Chu He said blankly, “…No.”
“It’s okay if you don’t have them, you can have one taken now.” The staff member pointed to the price list hanging on the side and said, “But you will have to pay for your photos to be taken.”
In other words, hurry up and hand over the money!
Chu He looked at the price list. The cost of creating the documents was twenty yuan, and the photos also cost twenty yuan. It was a total of forty yuan.
Suddenly she looked away. Forty dollars. She walked of briskly, as though she had forgotten her purse.
Chu He reached for her pockets frantically and suddenly realized that she was wearing a dress. There were no pockets, and… it was a new dress.
She returned to Gu Jinglian and stretched her upturned palm towards him. “Money. Did you bring money?”
Gu Jinglian was getting impatient. “What money?”
Chu He did exactly what the staff had done and pointed at the price list. Gu Jinglian looked up at the list and smirked before taking out the all-powerful black and gold card.
Taking the black and gold card from him, Chu He looked a little confused. “You can pay with credit cards here?”
“I don’t know.”
Chu He took the card and walked back to the counter window. She cleared her throat and asked awkwardly, “Um… can I pay with a credit card?”
The staff turned around and looked at her like she was an idiot. “Cash only.”
Chu He was flabbergasted. Half an hour later, Butler Fu arrived at the Bureau with his wallet. The registration was now closed for the day..
