Looking at the ring on his hand, a tear rolled down Gu Yanzhi's cheek and fell onto Song Zhao's hand, and into his heart as well.

Don't cry.

Song Zhao stood up, cupped Gu Yanzhi's face in his hands, gently wiped away her tears, and then hugged her tightly.

Song Zhao had ordered this ring the day Gu Yanzhi turned 18, and today he finally gave it to her. He had originally planned to propose to Gu Yanzhi on the day she graduated from university, but the sudden passing of Gu's parents plunged them both into deep grief, and they also wanted to observe mourning for them, so they put the matter aside.

But now the apocalypse is just around the corner. Although the marriage certificate might be worthless after the apocalypse, Song Zhao still wants that worthless piece of paper. It is proof of their relationship, and he wants to call Gu Yanzhi "wife" openly, legitimately and legally.

The next day the sun was shining brightly, and Gu Yanzhi got up early in the morning. Today she and Song Zhao were going to get their marriage certificate.

Gu Yanzhi tried on clothes all morning, covering the bed as she tried to find the best-looking one. However, in the end, she chose the most ordinary white shirt, a classic that never goes out of style.

Song Zhao's clothes were the same white shirt as Gu Yanzhi's.

After choosing her clothes, Gu Yanzhi applied light makeup, which made her already good skin and complexion look even better.

After a quick breakfast, the two went out.

We arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau without any obstacles.

Since it was a weekday, there weren't many people getting their marriage certificates; they only had to wait in line for less than five minutes before it was their turn.

After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Song Zhao looked at their marriage certificate with an uncontrollable smile on his face. "Zhizhi, wife, I can finally call you wife openly and honestly."

Gu Yanzhi couldn't hide her smile, and blushing, she softly called out, "Husband."

"Yes," Song Zhao replied excitedly.

He is mature beyond his years and rarely shows such emotions, so it's clear he was truly overjoyed.

Looking at Gu Yanzhi, Song Zhao's eyes were filled with undisguised tenderness and joy.

After admiring their newly issued marriage certificate for a while at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the two gave it to Gu Yanzhi to store in his spatial storage. There was probably no safer place in the world than his spatial storage.

Then the two drove to Mr. and Mrs. Gu's graves.

"Dad, Mom, I have good news to tell you. Zhao Zhao and I got married today!" Kneeling in front of her parents' graves, Gu Yanzhi gently stroked the tombstone, hiding the sadness in her heart, and said excitedly.

When she was first reborn, she complained in her heart that since she was reborn, why wasn't she reborn earlier? That way, she could have saved her parents.

Gradually, she made peace with herself. She was very lucky to be able to protect Zhaozhao and Yanlin. She couldn't have all the good things in the world.

However, she still felt sadness when facing her parents' tombstones. Thinking of the happy times they had shared, Gu Yanzhi felt an urge to tear Gu Qiang's family to pieces right now. But not yet; she had to wait.

Sensing that Gu Yanzhi's emotions were a bit off, Song Zhao reached out and hugged her, promising the Gu couple, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Zhizhi, and I will never let Zhizhi be sad or upset in the future."

At the same time, he was also thinking to himself that he would never let Gu Qiang's family go, and he would wait for the day when the apocalypse came.

When Gu Yanzhi got home, he saw Gu Yanlin sitting on the sofa as soon as he entered the door.

"Sister, brother-in-law, congratulations on your marriage! May you live a long and happy life together."

Gu Yanlin changed his tune so readily, showing no sign of the displeasure a brother-in-law might have for taking his sister away from his brother-in-law.

After all, they grew up together, and he knew Song Zhao very well. The two of them had long since decided on each other, and he knew in his heart that it was only a matter of time before Song Zhao called him brother-in-law.

Since the three of them will be living together anyway and seeing each other every day, there's no question of taking it away or not.

"Hey, here's a red envelope for you to change your address," Song Zhao responded quickly, beaming. She handed over the gift she had prepared in the car: a Patek Philippe watch.

Aside from the brief visit to the cemetery, Song Zhao had a constant smile on his face all day. If other people in the company saw him, they would never recognize him as the cold-faced devil they all knew.

"Thank you, brother-in-law," Gu Yanlin said, accepting the gift with a happy smile. He had wanted this watch for a long time, but he hadn't dared to mention it because he wanted to spend his money wisely.
