The staff member smiled and handed over the marriage certificate, saying, "Please take this, sirs, and don't lose it."

Lu Ting reached out and took it. "Thank you."

The two got up from their seats and left the room.

The staff smiled and watched the two leave the Civil Affairs Bureau, saying "Take care on the road" before they left.

Su Miaoyan turned around, smiling sweetly, "Thank you."

The staff member was a young woman in her early twenties.

This is the first time I've ever been smiled at by someone so good-looking.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, he came to his senses and returned to his post.

Outside.

Su Miaoyan put the household registration book back into her bag, and the two walked slowly down the road.

A slightly dry breeze gently brushed against their cheeks.

It lifted up her jet-black hair.

One tall and one short, walking on the road.

There was a distance between the two.

The sounds of construction workers working on the roadside could be heard from time to time.

After a moment, Lu Ting spoke first.

Do I need to meet my parents?

He has changed his tune.

They are no longer referred to as "Father Su" or "Mother Su," but as "Mom and Dad."

Su Miaoyan thought to herself that he didn't know the actual situation of her family, so it was normal for him to call her that.

She said softly, "No need."

Seemingly afraid that the man would misunderstand, Su Miaoyan stopped in her tracks.

"Lu Ting, um... I want to tell you something."

Lu Ting stopped in his tracks.

He lowered his head and met her gaze.

Under the man's gaze, Su Miaoyan slowly spoke.

“Lu Ting, it was actually my idea to get our marriage certificate. You know, our family has a special status. If that kind of thing really happened, then it's very likely that we would have to go to the countryside.”

She continued:

“But they don’t want to go to the countryside. If they don’t want to go to the countryside… then who will go? Someone has to go to the countryside.”

"So, I became the victim, and the blind date was just because of another plan of my mother."

"After all, most people who go on blind dates know something about our family background. Those who are willing to go on blind dates at this time are either unaware of our family background or... are fools."

“My parents think you’re a brainless… officer. They plan for me to trick you into marriage, get the marriage certificate, and then, once things calm down, have you use your influence and connections to pave the way for their return to Chengdu.”

“My dad disagreed. He felt it was unnecessary. After all, I was spoiled and pampered. Who would want to marry a capitalist’s daughter and treat her like a goddess? He thought it would be better to avoid trouble and just send me to the countryside alone while they fled to Haizhou.”

“But my dad usually doesn’t directly refuse the ideas my mom brings up, so he secretly told me to politely decline your offer when we went on a blind date. I was worried that you didn’t know our family situation and that you were tricked into coming here by my mom… so on the day of the blind date, I told you the truth.”

“I think if you politely decline after you find out my identity, that’s fine too. At worst… I’ll just go to the countryside.”

As she spoke, Su Miaoyan's eyes reddened, "But I didn't expect that you not only knew about our family's background, but also came here to repay a debt of gratitude through a blind date."

"So, I told my parents that I was politely declining your offer, but I actually secretly took my household registration book and got married to you."

“My parents thought they had kept it from me very well, but actually… I overheard their conversation and found out everything.”

She turned her head away and wiped away the tears that hadn't yet fallen.

Pretend to be pitiful.

After all, you can't let the other person feel that you don't want to introduce him to your parents.

There was a brief silence between them.

Lu Ting went through these words in his mind.

His sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly.

She was the one who was pushed out of the house?

Her parents arranged for her to go on blind dates, not to ensure her safety?!

Was it to sacrifice her marriage in exchange for the benefit of her whole family returning?!

Not only that, her father even wanted her to decline the blind date and send her to the countryside to suffer alone for the whole family?!

Moreover, she only found out about these things by chance through eavesdropping.

Lu Ting couldn't even imagine whether she would have listened to them and politely declined his offer if she hadn't found out by chance.

The last person became the scapegoat and went to the countryside alone to suffer.

Because of Grandma Su, Lu Ting naturally felt a good impression of the Su family.

But now, after hearing what Su Miaoyan said and seeing her stubborn expression as she turned away to wipe her tears, he suddenly lost all desire to meet the rest of the Su family.

At the same time, Su Miaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.

How could a defenseless girl like her protect herself if she went to the countryside?

This strengthened my resolve to protect her.

He softened his voice, "Then it's gone. I've already bought the train tickets to Xinjiang Province. Will you come with me to the military region in a few days?"

Ask for her opinion again.

Su Miaoyan sobbed a few times, her eyes red as she looked at him.

Her clear eyes were like a spring of water bubbling up.

Lu Ting thought his silence had frightened her, so he glanced around.

His gaze fell on a certain spot, and he strode over there.

"Wait for me here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a long stride and headed towards his destination.

Su Miaoyan looked up in a daze. Where was Lu Ting going?

She was still immersed in the feeling of being a pitiful little thing and couldn't pull herself out of it for a while.

I forgot to reply.

But after only a short while, the man's figure reappeared in the distance.

And he slowly walked towards her.

"Lu, Lu Ting."

She choked up as she spoke.

Lu Ting didn't know how to comfort his newlywed wife. Looking at the contents of the bag, he took out a White Rabbit milk candy and handed it to her.
