Chapter 687 A Kiss Lands on Her Forehead

“I’m not dead yet, it’s not your place to treat my child as your own.”

The man's cold voice interrupted Shen Anning and Wen Yusen's conversation.

Shen Anning turned around.

Qi Yue's face was cold, his narrow eyes fixed on Wen Yusen.

Wen Yusen met his gaze, the two men silently locked in a contest.

Qi Yue walked to Shen Anning's side, put his arm around her slender waist, and curled his thin lips into a cold smile, "Does your ex know about President Wen's bad habit of stealing other people's wives and children?"

Wen Yusen's expression was cold and indifferent, only his slightly furrowed brows betrayed his deepest and truest emotions.

Qi Yue clearly captured Wen Yusen's true emotions at that moment.

It seems that Yun Qin's persistence may not be just wishful thinking.

Wen Yusen looked at Qi Yue, the usually gentle and gentlemanly man now with a cold face, "President Qi, you took advantage of someone's misfortune and are quite smug about it."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue smiled and raised an eyebrow slightly. "I can see that President Wen is very jealous, but I'm sorry, I don't have time to comfort President Wen right now. We're in a hurry to get our marriage certificate at the Civil Affairs Bureau!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Yusen's face darkened completely.

He looked at Shen Anning, "Are you really going to marry him for the sake of the child?"

Shen Anning's expression was complicated. Just as she was about to speak, Qi Yue had already forcefully pulled her into his arms.

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly as she looked up at Qi Yue.

Qi Yue lowered his head and quickly placed a kiss on her forehead.

Shen Anning was taken aback.

"Don't waste our time on unimportant people, okay?"

Shen Anning, "..."

Qi Yue emphasized the words "unimportant person" very clearly. Although he appeared calm and collected on the surface, Shen Anning could sense the low pressure emanating from him.

Shen Anning knew that Qi Yue's patience had run out.

On his wedding day, his rival showed up in front of him and started yelling. Given Qi Yue's personality, it was already a testament to his restraint that he didn't immediately break ties with Wen Yusen.

In the past, Qi Yue might have already given her a cold shoulder and lost his temper, or even questioned and criticized her for not being clear and firm enough.

In five years, Qi Yue has indeed changed a lot.

Or perhaps it's because Qi Yue no longer loves her, so he doesn't have strong emotions when facing such things.

The sound of the passenger door closing pulled Chen Anning back to reality from her thoughts.

She looked at the closed passenger door before she realized that Qi Yue had already taken her into the car.

Qi Yue opened the driver's side door and bent down to get in.

The car door closed, and he turned his head to see Shen Anning staring at the rearview mirror.

From his angle, the rearview mirror was reflecting Wen Yusen directly.

Qi Yue frowned slightly, looking at Shen Anning's thoughtful profile, and reminded her, "Seatbelt."

Shen Anning turned around and glanced at him upon hearing this, then quickly replied, "Okay."

Qi Yue watched as she pulled over and fastened her seatbelt.

"Let's go." Shen Anning fastened her seatbelt, looked up at him, and said, "We're going to be late."

Qi Yue chuckled lightly, "Is it my fault?"

The tone of those words was very harsh.

Shen Anning tightened her grip on the seatbelt and said softly, "It's my fault, I'm sorry."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue's anger burned even brighter.

But he glanced at Shen Anning's belly, his thin lips pressed into a line, and ultimately said nothing more.

The car started and drove out of the yard.

Wen Yusen stood there, watching the car gradually drive away, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

...

Inside the Civil Affairs Bureau, the marriage registration window and the divorce registration window are separated.

The divorce processing window was noisy and chaotic, with one disgruntled couple after another taking turns to enter, keeping the staff extremely busy.

In contrast, the marriage registration windows were deserted, with almost no couples queuing up.

Therefore, even though they arrived late, Shen Anning and Qi Yue were able to obtain their marriage certificate smoothly and quickly.

The staff handed the two marriage certificates to Shen Anning and Qi Yue.

The two of them accepted it.

Qi Yue opened it and glanced at it, then put the marriage certificate into his pocket.

Shen Anning's reaction was even more indifferent than his; she didn't even look at it before stuffing it directly into her bag.

Qi Yue saw her actions and became even more annoyed!

Although he knew that he had gone to great lengths to persuade Shen Anning to go through with the marriage, Shen Anning's reaction was far too dismissive!

She seems to prefer marrying Wen Yusen!

Qi Yue's expression worsened at the thought of Wen Yusen.

"Let's go," Qi Yue said coldly. "I'll take you back."

Shen Anning responded indifferently, without looking at Qi Yue, and took the lead in walking out.

Qi Yue stared at her back, grinding his back teeth repeatedly!

This woman is so dismissive!

Qi Yue was seething with anger and didn't say a word to Shen Anning the entire way.

As for Shen Anning, she was very busy, replying to messages the moment she got on the bus.

She seemed to have no time to pay attention to Qi Yue's emotions.

Several times while waiting for the green light at the intersection, Qi Yue couldn't help but steal a glance at Shen Anning beside him.

But every time I saw her, she was engrossed in her phone, looking down and chatting with someone, completely absorbed and oblivious to everything else.

Qi Yue felt even more upset!

The two didn't exchange a single word until they got home.

The car stopped in the yard. Shen Anning put away her phone, reached out and opened the car door, turned around, looked at Qi Yue, and said in a calm voice, "Thank you for bringing me back. I'll go in now."

Qi Yue looked at her and tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

After holding back for three seconds, he couldn't hold back any longer and asked coldly, "Shen Anning, I must remind you, we are husband and wife now."

Shen Anning paused as she got out of the car, turned to look at Qi Yue, and after thinking for a moment, said, "We've registered our marriage, and I won't run away from the fact that we're husband and wife. However, before the wedding, I still choose to stay at my parents' house."

Qi Yue originally wanted to use this topic to suggest that she move to his place, but unexpectedly, Shen Anning seemed to have seen through his thoughts and took the initiative to strike first!

“Although we haven’t had a wedding yet, we are legally husband and wife.” Qi Yue’s voice was deep and his tone was serious: “As your husband and the father of the child in your belly, I have the obligation to take care of you and the three of you. Besides, the new house is ready-made, and you can furnish it according to your personal preferences.”

“Since we’re having a wedding, there will be a lot of complicated procedures. I’m staying at my parents’ house, and my mom can teach me anything I don’t understand.” Shen Anning looked at Qi Yue and said seriously, “Also, this marriage is too sudden. To be honest, I’m not sure I can immediately embrace the role of a wife. So, let’s give myself a month to adjust.”

Qi Yue felt a lump in his throat.

Despite all the reasons, they ultimately lost to Shen Anning's preemptive strike.

"Alright." Qi Yue chuckled. "You're carrying two precious babies now, so you get to decide."

Shen Anning pursed her lips. Having gotten the answer she wanted, she didn't say anything more to Qi Yue. She thanked her and turned to walk into the house.

Qi Yue watched her enter the house before turning his gaze away and turning the car around...
