Chapter 100 "Wife, let's go get our marriage certificate"
This statement contains a lot of information.
Anmi's eyes widened in shock: "Th-those leather shoes?"
Yan Jinnian: "It's me."
Anmi: "!"
What an incredible coincidence!
These two people, who were originally completely unrelated, had actually met six years ago.
No, to be precise, he had met Anmi, but Anmi had not met him.
Because she kept her head down the whole time…
But that's quite a coincidence.
Anmi stared at the pair of leather shoes in the photo: "I never imagined that you were the one who tripped me back then! So we had crossed paths so long ago..."
After she finished speaking, she asked, "Why did you go to our school back then?"
Yan Jinnian raised his hand to help her tidy up the stray hairs by her ear.
"Attending the event on behalf of my father."
“At that time, he was too busy with company matters to spare.”
Anmi asked curiously, "But how do you remember me?"
There were so many hostesses at the event, and she wasn't the most outstanding one.
She said half-jokingly, "Is it because I dirtied your shoes that you've been holding a grudge against me?"
Yan Jinnian's low laughter echoed through the carriage.
"Baby…"
He said, "Am I that petty?"
Anmi teased him deliberately, "It's hard to say."
"Maybe you were young and had a bad temper back then?"
Yan Jinnian raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "It's not worth getting angry with a little girl."
In fact, he wasn't angry at all; instead, he paid more attention to her.
Among all the people who walked the red carpet, only her cheeks were round and lovely, like they were made of glutinous rice cake.
Although she wore heavy makeup, her eyes were pure and clear, and she moved gracefully in the crowd, immediately attracting his attention.
But he had just returned from abroad, and there were still many things at the Yan family waiting for him to take over.
Matters of love and affection can only pass through the heart like the wind, leaving only a trace.
Thinking about this...
He looked at the girl on his lap: "An Duoduo, after all these years, you still owe me an apology."
An Mi closed the photo album: "Shouldn't you be apologizing to me? You almost made me fall and spill water on the big boss!"
Yan Jinnian raised an eyebrow: "Wasn't it you who stepped on my foot first because you were walking with your head down?"
"..."
"..."
The atmosphere in the back seat was ambiguous. The two looked at each other and chuckled softly.
After laughing for a while, Yan Jinnian raised his hand and pulled the person into his arms.
"Baby, I regret it." His voice was a little muffled.
Anmi gently patted his waist: "What are you regretting?"
"I regret not taking the initiative back then."
If he had taken the initiative, they might not have fallen in love so late.
Looking back now from the finish line, it seems like all those years in between were wasted.
Anmi put her arm around his waist and said softly, "I think things are fine as they are now!"
As long as they can be together, that's the best ending.
The difference between the past and the present is merely a matter of time.
Since we missed out before, let's make up for it now.
Anmi raised her head and gently kissed his lips.
"Yan Jinnian..."
"Um?"
"I love you."
"..."
"Baby, I love you too."
…
The next day, An Ting's noodle shop reopened.
After setting off firecrackers, two rows of fresh flowers were placed in front of the door, and free cakes and fruits were provided for everyone to eat.
Neighbors all came to offer their congratulations.
Many regular customers also showed up to show their support.
In addition, Xiao Wang also invited many local food bloggers from Dexian County to come and take photos, preparing to promote the food on Xiaogongshu.
With so many people arriving at once, An Ting was busy attending to everyone, working non-stop.
Fortunately, the store hired three new young employees who can help her share the workload.
Anmi and Yan Jinnian also accompanied her throughout her busy schedule.
Introducing noodle dishes to customers, serving tea and water, helping with ordering... Anmi felt like she hadn't done so many small tasks in a long time.
Despite her busy schedule, An Ting still made time to observe her future 'son-in-law'.
Over the course of the day, she observed quite a few of his strengths.
Although Yan Jinnian is a big boss from Beijing, he doesn't put on airs at all when doing the rough work at the noodle shop.
Whether serving tea and water to guests or fetching bowls and chopsticks, he was always very proactive, showing no signs of being someone who had been pampered since childhood.
He showed great patience, even when dealing with impatient customers or mischievous children.
He was even more attentive than the three new young people.
An Ting's feelings for him grew even stronger.
It seems my daughter was right about him.
A man like that is worth marrying!
After the business closed, the next day when the two returned to Beijing, she specially gave Yan Jinnian a large red envelope.
"Please accept this small token of my appreciation from Auntie."
The man glanced at Anmi but didn't accept it.
"No need to give it to me, you can keep it."
"This..." An Ting was embarrassed.
This child is indeed getting married for the first time and doesn't understand the customs.
She had no choice but to hand it over again: "Take it, this is for you."
The meaning behind the words is already quite clear.
But the man still didn't appreciate it.
"Auntie, please keep it."
Having no other choice, An Ting had to force the object into his hand.
"You silly child, just take what's given to you!"
She didn't want things to get so awkward, but the rules were there, and there was nothing she could do about it.
During the exchange, Anmi reached out and took it from him.
"You can keep it since your mother gave it to you."
She stuffed the red envelope into the man's hand, her cheeks flushed.
Yan Jinnian looked at her, then at An Ting, and only then did he understand.
"Thank you, Mom."
An Ting smiled, secretly relieved.
"Hey!"
She saw them off to their car, saying, "Go home early and be careful on the road."
The man held the red envelope and smiled slightly, "Mom, please take care of yourself. I'll bring Duoduo back to see you in a few days."
"good!"
The car started and left the noodle shop.
After the first intersection, the man immediately handed the red envelope he had received to Anmi.
"What are you going to do with me?"
Anmi picked up the red envelope and stuffed it back into his hand.
"This is a gift from your mother to you. You can keep it."
Yan Jinnian smiled slightly and said, "You can collect it for me. From now on, I'll hand over all my money to my wife to manage."
He placed the red envelope in Anmi's hand.
"When we get back, I'll add your name to the house and all the bank cards to your name."
"ah?"
Anmi thought about his valuable houses.
And his astronomical sums of money in his cards…
"No way! Suddenly having so much money would keep me up at night with excitement!"
Yan Jinnian: "Then you should sleep now. When we get home, we can do something else."
"Um? ? ?"
She suddenly had a bad feeling.
The man gripped the steering wheel, his profile cool and aloof.
"Since Mom has approved of me, then I am her future son-in-law and your future husband."
"The prospective husband is allowed to enter the examination room."
“? ???”
"So this is all you think about all day?"
Anmi was absolutely furious with him.
"Don't even think about it. I'm adding a new rule: you're not allowed to... do that until we're married!"
The light ahead was red, and Yan Jinnian freed one hand from the steering wheel.
"Wife..."
He grasped Anmi's wrist, palm up, and intertwined his fingers with hers.
Anmi thought he was going to bring that up again, and was about to shake him off when she heard the man say to her in a very serious tone:
"Let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow."
