1594 Marriage Certificate (2)
Go, of course he would go. If he didn’t go, Grandpa Qi would beat him with a stick. It was rare for Shuyan to speak. If Zhenbai still didn’t seize such a good opportunity, then this kid was really hopeless. So, without waiting for Qi Zhenbai to speak, the old man replied on his grandson’s behalf, “Go, go, go… Of course! Zhenbai, take Shuyan to register your marriage now. You don’t have to worry about me, so hurry up and register your marriage.” After a pause, he immediately added, “After registering your marriage, take photos right away for me to see!”
Seeing that Zhenbai’s face was still stoic and expressionless, he really wanted to kick this grandson out. Was he still in a daze? Was this the time to be dazed?
Fortunately, Zhenbai did something else at that moment. He grabbed Shuyan’s wrist and pulled her out of the room.
The Qi family patriarch and Second Aunt Qi watched the two children go out with smiles on their faces, especially the old man, who was looking forward to their marriage certificate.
Apart from being happy, Second Aunt Qi was also a little bewildered. Weren’t they getting this marriage certificate a little too casually? Didn’t they have to choose a good day and let the in-laws know?
The old man seemed to read Second Aunt Qi’s mind and said, “Today is a good day. I already saw it a few days ago. As for Shuyan’s family, when the two children’s wedding is held, our Qi family will make it up to them! What a good child the in-laws have given birth to.”
The more the Qi family patriarch thought about Zhenbai’s wife’s considerate actions, the more he felt that this child was really a match for Zhenbai. No, it was just that Zhenbai was fated to meet Shuyan when the time was right. Otherwise, how could this kid meet someone who fit him so well?
Grandpa Qi was in a good mood. Without waiting for Second Aunt Qi to speak again, he hurriedly said to her, “Go and ask if I can be discharged today. I should be able to leave the hospital soon!”
The old man waved his hand and urged Second Aunt Qi to immediately go and ask.
After Second Aunt Qi went out, Grandpa Qi was worried that Zhenbai hadn’t brought anything with him. He immediately called this kid and said, “Where’s the household register? Don’t forget to bring it with you.”
On the other side, Qi Zhenbai, who had just left the hospital, suddenly received a call from the old man. After listening to the old man’s instruction, his face changed drastically again.
The old man’s voice was loud and anxious. Chi Shuyan had good ears, and she could hear him clearly. She smiled. After the old man hung up, she felt less nervous. She looked straight at the man in front of her again and said, “It seems I forgot the household register. Why don’t we split up and go back to get them? Then, I’ll see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau later?”
At first, when Qi Zhenbai heard that she was leaving, he exerted more strength, as if he was afraid that she would leave and never come back. After listening to her entire speech, his expression was complicated, as if he was examining the truth of her words, and his gaze was especially deep.
His thin lips were pursed and his jaw was tense as he panted slightly. Anyone familiar with him would know that he was nervous.
Chi Shuyan had a lot on her mind, and really didn’t know that the man was nervous. On the contrary, this man had been expressionless when he led her out of the hospital. He seemed so calm, and she was quite worried that she was the only one being rash. It would be awkward if he refused.
However, if this man really refused, she wouldn’t back down. She would just give him more time and take it slow.
Just as Chi Shuyan was worried that the man in front of her would reject her, she heard him suddenly relent. He pursed his thin lips tightly and spat out the word, “Okay.”
Chi Shuyan was caught off guard by the man’s quick response. She relaxed and stared at him curiously.
Qi Zhenbai took in her subtle expression and his heart suddenly tightened. His grip on her wrist abruptly tightened before he immediately let go. He suppressed the waves in his heart and sneered ruthlessly. “What? Are you regretting it so soon?”
“No, I’m quite surprised and happy to hear you agree so quickly.” Chi Shuyan pursed her lips and smiled at him.
On a closer look, she was beaming widely without the slightest bit of reluctance. This appearance caught Qi Zhenbai off guard, and he was surprised and helpless.
Chi Shuyan didn’t seem to see the man’s helplessness and said happily, “Okay, see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau. I’ll take a taxi back to get my household register first!”
At this point, Chi Shuyan was quite glad that the household register had always been with her and not with her father. Otherwise, she probably wouldn’t be able to register her marriage with the man in front of her even if she wanted to.
As for her father, he already knew that she had this boyfriend. She would have a proper chat with him after she registered her marriage.
Chi Shuyan was about to take a taxi, when the man next to her suddenly grabbed her wrist again. She was a bit surprised. Could it be that this man was suddenly regretting it?
The man in front of her said, “I’ll send you back!”
Chi Shuyan wanted to take the man’s car back, but if she did, that would be wasting time. There would be a queue when they arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau later, and she didn’t know if they would be able to get the certificates this afternoon. Chi Shuyan thought about it and immediately shook her head. “No need. I’ll take a taxi back to get my household register. You, too. Try to be as quick as possible. There’ll be a queue at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Let’s not waste time!”
The more Chi Shuyan spoke, the more nervous she became. The more Qi Zhenbai listened, the gentler his eyebrows became. His fingertips trembled slightly as he stared at her in a daze. He couldn’t get enough of the sight no matter how much he looked at her. After confirming that the woman in front of him really wanted to register their marriage, his cold and hard heart melted and his thin lips trembled slightly before he finally spat out, “Okay! See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau later!”
