Chapter 96 Husband.

Even though it's the season right after the Lunar New Year when work resumes, the weather is still cold.

Jingge's hands and feet were ice cold.

Li Mushi grasped both of her hands with one hand and touched her feet with his leg: "Why are they so cold?"

As he spoke, he told her to curl up her legs and tuck her feet onto his lap.

He was very warm, and he had a scent that Jingge liked—clean, dry, and a simple, comfortable fragrance.

With his hands and feet bound, Jing Ge could only move his head: "I want to marry you."

"..." The girl spoke confidently, which amused Li Mushi. "Are you even married yet? Why are you in such a hurry?"

“I’m anxious,” Jingge said, her chin brushing against his face as she looked up. “I’m so anxious that we’re going to get our marriage certificate tomorrow. I want to marry you.”

The two stared at each other in the darkness.

The man had handsome features, his eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight, and his fair skin and rosy lips made him look exceptionally sexy.

Jingge couldn't resist leaning over and kissing him.

Li Mushi originally had a lot to say and a lot to remind her of, but one kiss from her melted his heart.

She's only 22 this year, the most youthful and energetic age, full of endless possibilities. A world of extravagance and indulgence awaits her to conquer and challenge. Does she understand what marriage means?

Li Mushi understands the responsibility and weight of marriage even more. Perhaps she was just provoked by today's events and made the wrong decision in a daze. Then she might regret it, make a scene, and demand her freedom from him.

These were words he should have been reminding her of.

However, before he could finish speaking, Li Mushi changed his words to: "Get a marriage certificate?"

Jing Ge: "Get the marriage certificate."

Li Mushi tapped her forehead with his chin: "Yes, let's get the marriage certificate."

Never mind.

As he once said, he is not a philanthropist after all. The little girl fell into his arms on her own. He had fulfilled his duty to remind her and given her a chance to change her mind. He could accept it with a clear conscience, both morally and logically.

He gave her choices and initiative, and he was accommodating to her in most matters. She could come and go as she pleased, but he wouldn't allow her to leave whenever she wanted.

We have to give him some rights, don't we?

Marriage does indeed mean responsibility, and her young future is indeed full of uncertainties, but isn't he there for her? He stays with her, not letting her bear any responsibilities in life. She can fly freely, and he doesn't let her feel like she has lost her freedom.

Li Mushi is not good at analyzing himself.

He held her gradually warming body, as if talking to himself: "Let's get the marriage certificate."

Jingge was sleepy and subconsciously replied, "Yes."

After she finished muttering that, the man kissed her on the forehead again.

-

Aside from getting the marriage certificate, Jing Ge probably had his own plans. Li Mushi could tell, but he didn't expose him. If his little friend wanted to play, he would just play along.

When they arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, someone came over, nodded to Li Mushi, and handed him something.

Jingge didn't think much of it, assuming it was just a chance encounter with an acquaintance.

As she was going up the steps, a wedding ring was pushed onto her finger.

My left ring finger feels cool.

The man had the same one in his hand.

Jing Ge was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and cried at the same time: "How come you appear and disappear so mysteriously?"

Li Mushi: "Just received it."

"......"

So that person just now came to give him a wedding ring.

They were acting suspiciously, like spies making a rendezvous.

Li Mushi reached out to her; the man's fingers were long and slender, with prominent veins running beneath the bony skin of his hand.

Her hands are so sexy.

Jing Ge pursed her lips and looked up at him: "Li Mushi..."

The man frowned. Could she be coming here to back out?

"..." Jing Ge inexplicably wanted to laugh. "Why are you frowning? There's a problem."

Li Mushi then asked gently, "What is it?"

“Have you thought about it?” Jing Ge stammered, “How will you explain this to your family? Will they beat you?”

"......"

Jingge felt he had asked a stupid question.

Who would dare hit him?

He is the father of everyone.

She licked her lips and changed her question: "Uncle Li, Aunt Man... will your second brother and sister-in-law blame you, blame me...?"

Li Mushi said calmly, "I can't control what other people think."

Jingge's shoulders slumped.

Li Mushi stared at her with his dark eyes: "Is it important?"

Jingge looked pitiful and nodded to him.

Li Mushi pretended to take out his phone: "Then I'll tell them now to let them get over their anger before we go back."

"..." Jing Ge panicked and quickly grabbed his wrist, "No, no, let's get the marriage certificate first."

What if they disagree and ruin her marriage registration?

The man raised an eyebrow: "This is serious."

Jing Ge: "".

Upon realizing he had done it on purpose, Jingge muttered, "How could you be so mean?"

I'm so bored and frustrated.

Li Mushi understood her thoughts; she was worried that her past with Li Zhan would anger and annoy Li Kaiji and Sheng Man.

“People must take responsibility for themselves,” he said without hesitation. “If you go astray or take the wrong path, it is a sign of incompetence and cowardice to blame others. When you encounter such a situation, you must fight for yourself instead of blaming yourself along with the other party.”

Jingge seemed to understand but not quite: "Who went astray or went astray?"

Li Mushi did not answer her.

She was unaware that Li Zhan had slept with Zhuo Yueyue.

He didn't plan to tell her on this day.

He wouldn't tell her.

“Let’s not talk about this,” Jingge took his hand and used his strength to step over the stairs. “But I don’t want to take responsibility for myself. Can you take responsibility for me? I’m too lazy to do it.”

Li Mushi's eyes curved like that at the corners.

Getting a marriage certificate is a big deal, and Jingge gets nervous and talks a lot: "Do we need a premarital checkup? Will it hurt? What kind of tests will we have? What kind of agreement do we need to sign? What kind of agreement? Premarital property? I don't have any property... Oh wait, you do, but I don't want to sign it. Aren't you going to give me money to spend...?"

Li Mushi suddenly pressed his fingers against the corner of her muttering mouth.

Jingge stopped on his own initiative.

“Whatever the law stipulates,” Li Mushi said in a low but gentle voice, “we’ll do whatever it says. As for anything not stipulated, we’ll make all the decisions for you.”

The girl's anxiety was evident in her eyes; it was a belated realization of her unease about marriage.

Li Mushi's expression was serious and earnest: "Your family will take charge."

Jing Ge's heart, which had been hovering in mid-air, gradually settled down.

This human-like Li Mushi made her feel adorable. The aloof and superior man spoke the words that a normal couple would say, everyday words, which made Jing Ge feel a sense of security that they were on equal footing.

"Li Mushi." She said in a very soft voice.

"I am here."

“You’ve always given me money,” Jingge said. “I’m used to it, and I’ll feel justified in spending your money in the future.”

Li Mushi ruffled her hair: "That's great, I don't have to think of any excuses anymore."

Jing Ge: "What can I give you?"

Li Mushi: "He gave me everything."

Who else would rush into marriage like she did, and he took advantage of her as if he had found a rare treasure while taking a walk?

Jingge linked arms with him: "Husband."

She plucked the moon from the sky.
