Chapter 12

◎Newlyweds◎

Before going to work, Luo and I went to the municipal government to submit the documents for transferring into the apartment. Liang Beihai will sleep here after he finishes moving his things today. Because he doesn't want his colleagues to know about his marriage, he and Luo also agreed not to go in and out of the company together. So after sending Liang Beihai downstairs to the company, Luo went out to visit clients again.

When Xiao Lin ran into him at the company, he saw the ring on Liang Beihai's hand, which was neither too big nor too small, and exclaimed: "As expected of a Chinese, what a big diamond ring."

The attention of colleagues passing by was also attracted, and Zhang Xin smiled at Liang Beihai. Liang Beihai smiled embarrassedly, but fortunately his colleagues did not ask too many questions.

Xiao Lin didn't shy away from the topic and continued, "Congratulations, Xiao Hai, for getting married at such a young age."

"Oh, yes." Liang Beihai wondered why this guy talked so much and had no sense of boundaries. He didn't want to discuss this issue anymore. Fortunately, Zhang Xin announced something and interrupted their conversation.

"The company is going to O City for team building next month. It's okay to register with me, including interns." After saying that, she winked at Liang Beihai, who didn't understand what she meant.

When Liang Beihai went to Zhang Xin to register, Zhang Xin said that Liang Beihai did not need to register, and showed her that her name was the first on the list.

"It's a honeymoon trip. Luo said that if your cousin has time, he can come too. People usually bring their families."

"Ayu doesn't like to go far away. I'll ask him later." Thinking of the misunderstandings he had with Zhang Xin and Luo, and the inexplicable jealousy he had experienced, Liang Beihai felt a little guilty: "Thank you, sister."

"It's okay. I'm really happy for you to see this ring finally on your hand." Zhang Xin saw Liang Beihai's inquiring eyes and wanted to tell Liang Beihai the whole story.

Luo had stood behind them without them noticing when, and interrupted their conversation, "What are you talking about? You're not going to work, so why are you here for free?"

"Oh, nothing. I was just about to say you'd risk everything to buy this ring."

"Ah?" Liang Beihai looked at Luo De in surprise. Luo De didn't seem like someone who would do such an unstable thing.

"That's the truth. If you want to know, I'll tell you when I get home tonight." Luo cleared his throat uncomfortably and asked Liang Beihai to go to work, glaring at Zhang Xin who was gloating.

"Ayu came to give me something today, and I had dinner with him." Liang Beihai remembered that he had not yet told Luo that Ayu would come over today.

"Someone has to stay alone in an empty room." Zhang Xin joked with a smile.

"Ah, sister, do you want to come over? Ayu is going to have dinner at home."

After hearing Liang Beihai say that Luo's family was very useful, he also invited Zhang Xin generously: "Isn't your girlfriend on a business trip today? Come over and have something to eat with us. Anyway, you have to stay alone today."

Zhang Xin rolled her eyes: "You annoying heterosexual couple, get out of my sight."

Liang Beihai had a class in the afternoon so he made an appointment with A Yu to move the last few things after class. When Liang Beihai and A Yu, who was holding the boxes, arrived at the door of the apartment, they happened to meet government workers who came to visit.

"Is it Mr. Luo and Miss Liang?"

"Eh, no, he is my brother. Let me contact my husband later." Liang Beihai said, then glanced at A Yu secretly, and nodded quickly at him without waiting for A Yu to react.

"No, we've already contacted him."

Liang Beihai took out his cell phone and saw an unread message from Luo, who said he would be there soon.

Liang Beihai first invited the staff into his home. The staff asked a few simple questions. Liang Beihai explained that he had just moved in today and had not packed his things yet.

"Why are you getting married at this time?"

A Yu also looked at Liang Beihai to see what she was going to say. He knew that Liang Beihai would be a little confused sometimes, but he could still keep his sanity under normal circumstances. Why did he feel dizzy when he met that Luo?

"My husband and I met and dated a few years ago. We had a fight and separated, but we reunited later and felt it was fate. We decided not to waste any more time and got married right away."

"I see."

After listening to her statement, A Yu felt that it was outrageous and felt that something was wrong, but it was not the time to speak so he did not say anything. At this time, the door opened and Luo came back.

After saying hello, Luo De also took a seat. Luo De did not answer the questions in a conventional manner, but instead held Liang Beihai's hand and showed their rings to the staff.

"We didn't meet and get married suddenly; it's been a few years. This ring of mine is a peripheral product from a game we played together a few years ago. She's been wearing it ever since. She gave it to me when I proposed to her. It's a testimony to our love."

"As for hers." Luo paused, shook Liang Beihai's hand, looked at A Yu and cleared his throat embarrassedly.

"We lost contact for a while, and when I lost touch with her, I realized how much I loved her. To be honest, my life was a mess at the time, and I was having some problems with my company's preparations. So, on impulse, I went to the school she wanted to go to, and used all my savings to buy the ring on her finger."

Liang Beihai raised his head and looked at Luo De in disbelief. Luo De held his hand, and A Yu made an imperceptible click of the tongue.

"So when I saw her again, I couldn't wait to get married and didn't want to wait any longer."

Luo Deyu said the same thing as Liang Beihai. The two staff members quickly said goodbye, saying that it was just a preliminary visit and there would be a return visit later.

After the door was closed, A Yu gathered his things and made a cold comment: "You are treating the staff as tools to show your love. They are here for routine work, but you put on a show on the spot."

Luo had no urge to argue with the child. Liang Beihai felt guilty and didn't want to pay attention to him, but seeing that A Yu wanted to leave, he called him.

"Aren't we having dinner together?"

"Is it okay if you don't want to eat with the newlyweds?" A Yu replied to her unhappily.

Liang Beihai stood up and pulled him. She knew that Ayu was only angry because she was worried about her, but Liang Beihai didn't want to quarrel with Ayu in front of Luo: "What are you doing, Ayu?"

"I'm not doing anything. Think about what you're doing. Don't involve me and my mom in this." A Yu regretted it right after he said it. He wanted to make up for it, but because Luo was there, he didn't want to make things weird. "I... I didn't mean that."

Liang Beihai let go of Ayu's hand and said sullenly, "Yeah, I know."

"You know shit." A Yu knew that Liang Beihai was overthinking, so he retorted her.

Luo, who was standing beside him, said angrily, "Ayu."

"Don't quarrel, it's nothing. I'll tell you when we meet another day, okay, Ayu?"

No one spoke again. A Yu took the bag and left. Liang Beihai stood there with no expression, but tears were already welling up in her eyes. She turned her head away so that Luo would not see.

Even though she knew it was a fake marriage forced upon her, she would still feel aggrieved if her family did not approve of or bless her.

Luo knew that Liang Beihai didn't want to show weakness at this time, so he gave her her space: "You pack your things first, I'll call for takeout, there's a good Chinese restaurant."

Liang Beihai didn't answer, nodded and went to pack up the boxes piled aside.

Luo knew very well that Liang Beihai's preferences were like those of a snail in a summer garden, which would stretch its body to move forward with all its might, but if it received any external attack, it would shrink and change its route without looking back.

At that time, she showed a little vulnerability, and when Luo De didn't catch her, she turned around and left resolutely. Luo De knew that feelings would not disappear easily, and Liang Beihai's love was still there, but she no longer had any expectations or trust.

So he had no choice but to slowly make Liang Beihai accept him and believe in him, and to have expectations and trust in love again.
