Nan Zhi and Shen Yunjin successfully registered their marriage and received their marriage certificate.

The certificates from this era are a continuation of the "Dragon and Phoenix Calligraphy" from the Qing Dynasty, except that a few more beautiful poems have been added to the certificates.

[Two families unite in marriage, a covenant is made in this hall, a blessed union is forever bound, a perfect match is celebrated. Behold the peach blossoms in full bloom today, a harmonious and prosperous home. May your descendants flourish and prosper in the years to come. This vow of lifelong commitment is written on fine paper, to be recorded in the annals of marriage.]

Shen Yunjin stroked the words and the stamped area, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

"Let's go." Nanzhi took his arm. "Husband."

The unexpected address made Shen Yunjin so excited that she almost tore up the certificate in her hand.

He carefully put away the certificate, then swept Nanzhi up in his arms. "What was your name? Say it again!"

Nanzhi said nonchalantly, "I didn't call out anything."

"No, you definitely called her that." Shen Yunjin lowered his eyes and stared straight at her, his smile almost overflowing. "Wife, can you call her that again?"

Nan Zhi couldn't stand the way he looked at her, and her cheeks flushed slightly. "Call him again when we get back."

"Okay!" Shen Yunjin was so happy that he picked her up and strode out.

Nanzhi was still being held by him: "Put me down, this is not a good look."

"No, I just want to hold you like this."

Shen Yunjin didn't want to let her go for even a moment.

Nanzhi was quite happy; seeing how persistent he was, she didn't stop him.

However, before the two even reached the parking spot, Shen Yunjin stopped.

Noticing that his breathing had become lighter, Nan Zhi realized something was wrong. She looked up and saw Shen Zhencai not far away.

Shen Zhencai looked at them with a gloomy expression.

Although Nan Zhi disliked Shen Zhencai, she didn't want their father-son relationship to become even colder because of her, so she signaled Shen Yunjin to let her down.

But Shen Yunjin still held her and walked step by step to Shen Zhencai.

"Dad, I'm home."

Shen Zhencai successfully shifted his gaze from Nan Zhi to Shen Yunjin.

As the commander-in-chief of Beiping, Shen Zhencai only directed his subordinates in tactics and made some important decisions; he himself remained in Beiping.

The months that Shen Yunjin spent in Guangchuan searching for Nanzhi had drawn criticism from his subordinates. In order to restore Shen Yunjin's reputation to its former glory, or even surpass it, Shen Zhencai sent him to fight in other places.

But he didn't expect the situation to be so serious. When he couldn't even contact Shen Yunjin, his heart sank deeper and deeper, and he regretted sending him out.

Shen Zhencai was in a state of confusion, and Beiping was thrown into chaos as well, which gave the enemy the opportunity to launch an air raid.

Now that he finally learned that he had returned, albeit seriously injured, Shen Zhencai rushed to find him, only to discover that he was with this woman!

It seems they even went to the marriage registration office and got a marriage certificate.

In broad daylight, they carried someone out without any shame, not even afraid of being photographed by reporters, which would only make them a laughing stock.

Shen Zhencai felt a surge of anger, anger directed at Nanzhi.

He was too busy during this time to send people to look for her. When Beiping was bombed, he remembered that she was carrying his grandson, so he sent people to look for her, but they couldn't find her anywhere.

He thought she was dead!

Who would have thought she was hiding so well? If Shen Yunjin hadn't come back, he probably would never have seen her in his life.

After all, they were father and son, and Shen Yunjin knew Shen Zhencai well enough that he could tell what Shen Zhencai was thinking with just a glance.

He put Nanzhi down, touched her face, and coaxed her gently, "Go wait for me in the car, I'll be there soon."

Nan Zhi didn't want to get involved in their affairs, nor did she think Shen Yunjin couldn't handle these matters, so she got into the car with peace of mind.

Shen Yunjin was taller than Shen Zhencai. He was young and strong, while Shen Zhencai was old.

Shen Zhencai knew clearly that he would eventually come to an end, but Beiping had to belong to the Shen family, which was why he was so anxious when he couldn't contact Shen Yunjin.

At that moment, Shen Yunjin said to him, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

This apology made Shen Zhencai close his eyes briefly.

This child always knows what kind of words will break his defenses.

He patted him on the shoulder. "It's good to be back. I heard you were injured. How are you?"

Shen Yunjin smiled and said, "It's much better. Zhizhi applied medicine for me, and as soon as I saw her, my injury didn't hurt anymore."

Shen Zhencai: ...

Is that woman really that good? She can even relieve pain.

Well, seeing Shen Yunjin with her made him happy, and he was too lazy to pursue the matter any further.

After all, he knew Shen Yunjin's temper.

Once you've set your mind on something, you'll get it even if it means death.

After chatting for a while, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did she have a boy or a girl?"

If it's a girl, that won't do; you have to have a boy instead.

Shen Yunjin said, "Boys and girls are both available."

Shen Zhencai: What?!

“I’ll bring them to you another day, but…” Shen Yunjin paused for a moment, then slowly said, “If she doesn’t like them, I won’t let them return to the Marshal’s Mansion.”

Shen Zhencai recovered from his shock. "That's my Shen family's bloodline. Does she intend to let my grandson wander outside forever?"

Shen Zhencai angrily said, "No, the girl can be given to her, but the boy must be brought back. I will find him the best wet nurse to raise him and let him enjoy the best conditions..."

"Dad!" Shen Yunjin interrupted him, "Let's talk about these things later, let's solve the current predicament first."

Shen Zhencai's temples were already turning gray. Shen Yunjin had just returned and didn't want to argue with Shen Zhencai.

Shen Zhencai didn't want to have any more conflicts with Shen Yunjin. He calmed himself down and walked towards the car next to him. "Let's go home."

Shen Yunjin said, "You should go back first."

Shen Zhencai stopped in his tracks, realizing something, and looked at him incredulously: "Are you going to be with that woman again?"

Shen Yunjin nodded: "Yes."

Shen Zhencai was furious. He said, not really meaning it, "Go away, don't come back. Go and mess around with that woman."

"Take care of yourself." Shen Yunjin, completely oblivious, saluted him and turned to get into another car.

Shen Zhencai was so angry his mouth almost twisted out of shape.

What's so great about that woman besides being pretty? I've even stopped going home for her.

Once in the car, Shen Yunjin immediately grabbed Nanzhi's hand and told the driver to drive away.

Nanzhi leaned on his shoulder, her eyes gentle, her tone worried, "Is this a bit difficult?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Yunjin touched her face. "Being with you is not difficult for me."

What is that?

Shen Yunjin paused for a moment, then lowered his head and kissed her forehead with great tenderness: "It is happiness."

It was a happiness he would never give up in his entire life.
