Xia Wensheng and Ming Huan got their marriage certificate on September 9th. On the day they entered the Civil Affairs Bureau, Xia Wenxi and her parents were outside.

If she weren't afraid of disturbing the two of them, Xia Wenxi would have really wanted to go in and see the marriage registration process, so she could gain some experience for herself in the future.

The three of them came without Xia Wensheng's knowledge. It was Ke Shurong's suggestion, saying she wanted to give her son a surprise, and that he should be the first to receive his family's blessings at such an important moment!

So Xia Wenxi specially bought a bouquet of flowers from a florist (someone else's) to bring and give to Sister Minghuan later.

Perhaps it's because of the date—the ninth day of the ninth lunar month—that there were quite a few people getting married today. The couple, who arrived relatively early, had to wait a while.

After receiving their marriage certificate, Xia Wensheng, wearing a white shirt and with his hair neatly combed, held his wife's hand and smiled brightly.

"Today, I finally have a legitimate status."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and asked Minghuan to pose with him holding their marriage certificate so he could take a picture and post it on his WeChat Moments to announce it to the world!

As soon as I turned on the phone's camera, which was set to the front, I switched it to the rear camera and saw three familiar faces appear on the screen.

"Congratulations on getting your marriage certificate, son!"

"And Huanhuan, welcome to our family."

Xia Wenxi also presented a bouquet of flowers at the opportune moment and sweetly greeted, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Minghuan blushed as she accepted the flowers. "Thank you, Xiaoxi. Thank you... thank you, Mom and Dad."

"Okay, okay!"

Ke Shurong was prepared and took out two large red envelopes from her bag to give to her daughter-in-law.

“Since you’ve already called me Mom, you have to accept this red envelope I’m giving to my daughter.”

Upon hearing this, Minghuan dared not refuse any longer, and accepted the red envelope after thanking him.

Xia heard this and couldn't get a word in edgewise for a while. Finally, when she was able to speak, she asked them:

"Wait, where did you guys come from? Didn't we say we'd eat dinner tonight?"

Ke Shurong waved her hand, "We're not here to eat."

Xia Wenxi continued, "We came here to congratulate you as soon as possible."

"That's right! We won't bother you two anymore. We'll leave after congratulating you."

"Yes! See you tonight."

The three waved goodbye, leaving only a bouquet of flowers behind. Before Xia Wensheng could react and speak again, all he could smell was his father's exhaust fumes.

Minghuan looked down at the bouquet of flowers and two heavy red envelopes in her hands, and said to Xia Wensheng with a smile, "Your family is interesting."

Xia Wensheng hugged his wife and said proudly, "We are such a harmonious and loving family! And now it's not just my family, it's our family. Have you forgotten? We are husband and wife now."

To celebrate this momentous occasion, Xia Wensheng specially arranged to have dinner with his family that evening, including Lin Shen.

I also plan to visit Minghuan's house again this weekend. Although we've already talked about getting the marriage certificate, it would be better to say it in person.

At 6 p.m., Xia Wenxi appeared downstairs at Lin Shen's company again, waiting for him to get off work so the two could go to a restaurant together.

Today's car isn't very flashy because Xia Wenxi drove it herself. After more than a month of hard work, she's finally brave enough to drive on the road.

Hi Xiaolin, I'm waiting for you downstairs.

Lin Shen received the message just as he stepped out of the elevator, and the employees who were leaving get off work on time bumped into the president at the company entrance again.

"Don't worry, the CEO didn't say we can't leave on time. Besides, do you think the CEO is concerned about his employees right now?"

Liang Yi left with those words, then picked up his bag and walked away.

That's great! He hopes Miss Xia will pick him up from get off work every day, so he can leave work on time every day too, and finding love will be just around the corner!

When Xia Wenxi saw Lin Shen coming over, she got out of the car and gave him the driver's seat.

"I drove here when I came, now you drive."

"What's wrong? You're driving very well now."

"I was so focused, it was exhausting."

As a novice driver, it's hard not to be nervous while driving, and where is she?

It's Ban City!

What if she accidentally bumps into one of those guys who's chasing after her crush one day? If they get angry, they might bankrupt her family... cough, that's how it's always written in novels.

Lin Shen took over the driving assignment, and on the way, he asked Xia Wenxi about her plans for tomorrow.

"Your school starts tomorrow, do you want me to go with you? Will your aunt and uncle be going?"

Xia Wenxi shook her head.

"You don't need to come with me, I don't have any luggage. Besides, it's just registration tomorrow, no classes. I'll go home after registration, and I've told my parents they don't need to come."

Xia Wenxi then changed her tone, speaking calmly and confidently:

"Xiao Lin, you young man, don't always take leave from work, understand?"

Lin Shen chuckled and nodded, saying "Okay."

"Will you still go home every day after school starts?"

"Yeah, I guess so. But if I have a lot of classes, I won't go home."

Xia Wenxi's home is a bit far from the school, so Ke Shurong arranged a place for her to live near the school. She was supposed to move there after the start of the semester.

However, Xia Wensheng is getting married in October, so his parents definitely won't be going on vacation during this time. With his parents at home, Xia Wenxi doesn't want to stay outside.

Since the topic of starting school had come up, Xia Wenxi told Lin Shen, "I feel like I've been away from school for too long, and I'm quite nervous about suddenly having to go back."

"Actually, when school starts, many of your classmates might be in their second or third year of school, just like you. And this year is precious, isn't it? I've always felt that people should sometimes stop and rest."

Lin Shen didn't know that the real Xia Wenxi had already worked as a corporate slave for two years after graduation. He thought she was referring to the fact that she took the postgraduate entrance exam a year late, which meant she had been away from school for too long.

"valuable……"

Xia Wenxi murmured the word to herself, and then suddenly laughed.

"It was indeed very precious to me. It should be the most precious year of my more than 20 years of life."

"That's great, I've also participated in your precious year."

Xia Wenxi smiled, and sweet words flowed from her lips.

She said to Lin Shen, "You're not just someone who participated; it's because of your presence that this past year has become even more precious."

Family, love, and friends are all so precious.

Sometimes, when the night is quiet, Xia Wenxi would be in a daze and it would take her a while to recover.

I was surprised to realize that I had lived in this new world for so long and left so many marks on it.

"My past year or so has become irreplaceable because of you, Xiaoxi."

The light ahead was red. Lin Shen stopped the car, turned his head and gently said to Xia Wenxi:

"No one has ever come to pick me up from get off work before."
