Chapter 139 Obtaining a Certificate
Sure enough, he said with a smile, and his tone was cold, "Hasn't your fiancée been hugged enough? Can I reluctantly let you hug her for a while longer?"
What's so reluctant?
Generally speaking, no normal couple would say something so blunt and annoying.
Xiao Xuanjin obviously did it on purpose.
Su Mi knew very well that this was how he was now, and he would just get used to it slowly.
"Is that why you came to me?"
It's really unnecessary and annoying for him to do that late at night.
"Of course not."
Xiao Xuanjin suppressed his smile and said, "When can we go get the certificate? My family is urging us to do so."
Su Mi remembered that she had heard Wei Rushuang also mention that they should take some time to get the marriage certificate before the wedding.
She had always remembered this, but she wasn't sure of the exact time.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xuanjin came here specially this time.
But, couldn't he have explained it clearly on the phone just now? Why did he insist on asking her to come down?
Was it just because he teased her just now?
Shaking her head, she still didn't understand Xiao Xuanjin's thinking.
"Okay, just tell me the time."
"Tomorrow, then."
"ah?"
Then I thought, Xiao Xuanjin is so busy, it must be very rushed for him to find time to get the certificate.
If you pick it up earlier, he might be in a hurry to go back to Hwaseong.
"Does your fiancée have any opinions?"
"Okay, let's set a specific time. I'll come tomorrow..."
"No, I'll pick you up at Su Mansion at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Su Mi originally wanted to say that she could drive over, but she didn't expect that he would be willing to come and pick her up.
The Civil Affairs Bureau seems to open at nine o'clock. He is in such a hurry, it seems that he wants to finish everything early and rush to do something else.
"Okay, I understand."
After saying this, both of them fell silent.
Su Mi thought it would be awkward to just stand there, "If there is nothing else, then I..."
"Well, go back."
"good."
Turn around and leave.
But the gaze on her from behind still lingered, and he hadn't left yet.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but slow down her pace.
As the gate got closer, Su Mi felt as if his feet were weighed down by a thousand pounds. He no longer wanted to move forward and stopped.
She mustered up the courage to look back, and sure enough she saw him lighting another cigarette. The smoke dissipated, blocking his gaze from her, and she couldn't see his expression clearly.
Seeing her like this, the man teased her again, "Are you reluctant to leave?"
"No, I just want to ask, where are you staying tonight?"
As soon as I asked this question, I felt that I was too stupid. Could it be that Xiao Xuanjin had no place to live?
This made it even more obvious that Xiao Xuanjin was right about what she said.
"Oh... then why don't you... Miss Su help me arrange a place to live."
She arranged it? Was he serious or not?
"Why? Miss Su wouldn't be unwilling, would she?"
"Then... go to the Miyu Hotel and I'll talk to them."
Miyu Hotel is a hotel under her name and it is also the most famous high-end hotel here. It is the best in Jiangcheng in every aspect.
Living there also suits his status.
Xiao Xuanjin readily agreed, "Thank you for your hard work, my fiancée. I will live in the room you usually stay in."
The hotel has reserved a luxurious suite of about 1,000 square meters for her. It has a great location, a terrace from which one can enjoy the entire night view of Jiangcheng, as well as living rooms, restaurants, study rooms, private cinemas, gyms, private spas and other functional areas.
Sometimes, she would occasionally stay there, but most of the time she stayed at the Su Mansion.
It was normal for Xiao Xuanjin to know this. With a little investigation, he would find out that the hotel was her property, so it was reasonable for him to reserve a room for her.
"Okay." Su Mi agreed.
Seeing that she agreed, Xiao Xuanjin glanced at her one last time, with a bland expression without any superfluous meaning. He opened the back door and got in the car, and the driver started and left quickly.
Su Mi watched the car drive away.
I called the hotel and told them to treat us well.
Then back to the bedroom again.
I lay in bed, thought about it, got up and set the alarm, fearing that I would oversleep the next day.
Just thinking about getting the marriage certificate tomorrow, I still find it hard to fall asleep and I toss and turn.
I was in a state of half-sleep the whole night.
When the alarm rang, she seemed to have just come to her senses, and then suddenly woke up.
I just felt my head was a little heavy and my body was severely numb.
But thinking about what I had to do today, I could only quickly get up, wash and pack.
I looked at the dark circles under my eyes in the mirror, took out my foundation and covered them up, then put on some light makeup. I looked better this way.
Standing in the cloakroom, I thought about it and realized that most people who went to get their marriage certificates seemed to wear white shirts, which would be convenient for taking photos.
Then should she also wear a white shirt?
I just don’t know what Xiao Xuanjin will wear.
Wei Rushuang just happened to come in and saw her tangled appearance. "Baby, what's wrong?"
"Mommy, you came at the right time. I'm going to get my marriage certificate today. What do you think I should wear?"
Su Mi had no intention of hiding it, after all, she still had to get her household registration booklet from her family.
Wei Rushuang didn't know that they had chosen today to get their marriage certificate, so she was a little surprised when she heard it suddenly, "Do you mean Xiaojin came to Jiangcheng today?
"He should have come yesterday."
"I heard from your aunt Xiao that Xiao Jin has been busy recently and is still abroad discussing business. I didn't expect him to come back so suddenly."
So, did he just rush over from abroad yesterday?
"Xiao Jin usually wears a suit, so you can wear a skirt to match him. Mom has already helped you match it."
"Mom, you mean ready?"
"Of course, such an important moment must be taken seriously."
As she spoke, Su Mi took out a piece of clothing from her dress as if her mother was presenting a treasure.
It is a modified version of a pearl-colored Chinese retro cheongsam. The stand-up collar fits the neck line and is of moderate height, which can modify the curve of the neck well.
The left and right lapels are symmetrical, dignified and neat, and the cuffs spread out from the arms, looking like flowers that are stretching and blooming freely. The ripples on the cuffs are soft and lively.
The low-cut design at the hem makes it look more dignified and elegant.
"Baby, go change it quickly. Xiaojin will definitely like it when she sees it later."
As she spoke, the dress had already been stuffed into Su Mi's arms, and she was pushed into the fitting area by her mother.
Standing in front of the huge mirror, Su Mi could only start taking off her clothes and then put on the cheongsam.
When she came out, Wei Rushuang nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, but it's better to tie your hair up."
Then Su Mi was taken to the dressing area and sat on a chair.
Wei Rushuang stood behind her and braided her hair.
Su Mi always felt that her mother's movements were slow and gentle, as if she was expressing some emotion implicitly.
From the mirror, I saw that Mommy had her head lowered and I couldn’t see the emotion in her eyes.
But in this situation, it seemed as if an invisible hand in the air was pulling at her heart, and her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't speak.
"Baby, after today, you will have a new identity...Being a wife in the future is not an easy thing, but of course it is not that difficult either. In a few years, you will be a mother. I won't tell you about all the things that will happen. You just need to remember that your father and I will always be your backers."
