Chapter 75 Marriage Certificate
Cen Xihuai stood up and looked around at the changes in the house. There was suddenly a cute cat bowl on the cabinet, and all kinds of colorful cat toys and snacks in the storage box under the coffee table.
He was almost certain that he had misunderstood.
Xu Qingwu is not pregnant.
Seeing him silent, Xu Qingwu inexplicably began to feel guilty and a little regretful that she shouldn't have played such a prank. The relationship between them was not yet that good.
"Um...you didn't believe I was pregnant?"
The phone vibrated. It was a message from Yao Wei about being a future father. Cen Xihuai calmly put the phone back into his trouser pocket.
"No."
"I knew you wouldn't believe it!" Xu Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief.
Cen Xihuai replied to Yao Wei and told him not to spread the news, saying it was just a misunderstanding.
Xu Qingwu waited the whole night, but the puppy refused to come out from under the sofa.
It was not until eleven o'clock that Cen Xihuai called her to go to bed and she reluctantly went upstairs.
Seeing her worried look, Cen Xihuai comforted her: "Go to sleep first, maybe it will come out in the middle of the night."
Cen Xihuai guessed right.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, the puppy swaggered around the first floor of the big house carefully. He even took out a toy and amused himself with it for a few rounds. When he was tired, he drank some water and ate some food, and then kicked a ball for a while before taking a rest.
In the morning, when Xu Qingwu woke up, it had shrunk back under the sofa.
Xu Qingwu looked worried: "Could it have stayed down here all night?"
"Did you take out the toys to entertain it yesterday?"
"No..." Xu Qingwu followed Cen Xihuai's line of sight and spotted the orange simulated little mouse next to the TV cabinet. She laughed, "Good for you, little guy. You're playing secretly by yourself in the middle of the night and not playing with me, right?"
Cen Xihuai glanced at the dwindling cat food and the spilled water in the cat bowl: "The food and water are also decreasing, so be patient and wait."
"Okay~"
Raising a pet is similar to raising a child. Even at work, one is always thinking about the pet. As soon as it is time to get off work, Xu Qingwu rushes home.
Surprisingly, the puppy was sleeping on the sofa.
When it heard the door opening, it just moved its ears and flicked its tail without even opening its eyelids. Xu Qingwu walked over quietly and touched its furry little head.
Seeing that it didn't resist, he held it in his arms again, took a selfie with the little guy, and sent it to Cen Yue: "Finally it's not under the sofa. I was so worried that I almost lost sleep."
Cen Yue didn't reply, so Xu Qingwu exited the chat box. When she saw Cen Xihuai's aloof profile picture in the snow, she sent him a selfie.
"Is it cute?"
When the photo is opened, the girl's face is magnified. The front camera of the original camera can even clearly capture each eyelash, her fair and rosy cheeks, her lively eyes, her straight hump nose, and her plump cherry-red lips.
Very cute, or beautiful would be a better description.
Cen Xihuai put down his pen and typed a reply: "Cute."
Soon, Xu Qingwu sent another freshly baked photo: "Isn't it? It's super cute. Look, its eyes are like the sea, don't they? There's a mountain pattern on its forehead, like a little tiger!"
Cen Xihuai clicked on the previous photo again and only then saw the hairy patch on Xu Qingwu's leg.
Oh, so she was talking about cat.
When I opened the door after get off work, Xu Qingwu was playing with the cat with a cat toy and snacks.
Cen Xihuai was still changing his shoes. The puppy heard the noise, glanced at him, and then quickly retreated under the sofa.
Cen Xihuai: "..."
Xu Qingwu: “?”
Xu Qingwu was unmoved by the temptation of cat strips. She was a little amused and helpless. It turned out that not only people were afraid of Cen Xihuai, but even cats could not escape.
After all, Cen Xihuai's aura that keeps strangers away is indeed intimidating, both to people and cats.
After a few days, when the puppy was sure that Cen Xihuai would not harm him, he no longer hid when he saw him, but he also did not act coquettishly to him like he did to Xu Qingwu.
There was a subtle awkwardness between the man and the cat.
The wedding invitation has been prepared. Cen Xihuai asked Xu Qingwu: "Do you want to see the invitation?"
Xu Qingwu was video chatting with Cen Yue to show her the cat, so she said to Cen Xihuai, "Put it on the table first. I'll take a look at it later."
Xu Qingwu now spends her free time video chatting with Cen Yue, chatting about cats, travel, and gossip...
The newlywed wife's time was occupied by invading pets and clingy besties, and she didn't even notice him passing by her three times with water.
Cen Xihuai's lips straightened involuntarily. He was suddenly glad that he didn't have children, otherwise he would have become a invisible person in this family.
Without disturbing Xu Qingwu's video call, Cen Xihuai placed the invitation and marriage certificate on the coffee table, then turned and went upstairs to the study.
In fact, the work had been completed long ago. Cen Xihuai was bored and started reading a book. He forced himself to suppress the ignored emotions in his heart and tried to calm down.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Xu Qingwu finished the video call with Cen Yue. She was about to go upstairs to wash up. When she stood up, she found a wax envelope on the ground. The naughty puppy was still trying to push another roll of paper on the table to the ground.
Xu Qingwu picked it up.
If it weren't for the puppy making trouble, she would have forgotten what Cen Xihuai had said about the wedding invitation.
The invitation is made of hot stamping wax and has a vintage brown kraft paper base. The date, time and place of the wedding, as well as the names of the newlyweds, are written in pen in a vigorous and powerful font.
Xu Qingwu was not unfamiliar with this font.
It's Cen Xihuai's handwriting.
Xu Qingwu originally thought that the invitation letter was just like the one for other people's weddings, prepared by the wedding organizer as a formality, so she didn't take it seriously and just perfunctorily asked Cen Xihuai to put it on the table. She never thought that it was written by him personally.
With a thud.
The puppy successfully pulled the roll of small-leaf red sandalwood to the ground, rolled it a few times on the carpet, and landed at Xu Qingwu's feet.
Xu Qingwu bent down to pick it up, opened the wooden cylinder, and unfolded the rolled-up rice paper with gold-sprinkled and embossed patterns inside.
"The two families are united in marriage, and the contract is signed in one hall. Look at the peach blossoms on this day, it is a perfect day for the family..."
It was a marriage certificate written with a brush dipped in red cinnabar, and signed with Cen Xihuai's seal. The handwriting was smooth and flowing, and there was still a faint scent of cinnabar.
When did Cen Xihuai write it?
She doesn't know anything.
My mood feels like it has been ironed, warm and comfortable.
Xu Qingwu touched the puppy's head, took the marriage certificate and invitation and went upstairs to look for someone. There was a faint light coming from the study, and she knocked on the door.
"Enter."
Xu Qingwu pushed open the door and saw Cen Xihuai reading a book.
"Are you busy?"
"not busy."
The plot of the book was reaching a climax, but he closed the book quickly without even putting a bookmark in it.
Xu Qingwu walked towards him and placed the invitation and marriage certificate on the table: "It's very beautiful, I like it very much."
"As long as you like it."
"Thank you for your trouble."
Even today, she is still so polite to him. Cen Xihuai is a little helpless: "Don't be polite to me, wife."
"All right."
Xu Qingwu kissed him on the side of the cheek, as light as a dragonfly touching the water, but it brought a subtle tingling sensation.
This seemed to be the first time she took the initiative while awake, and Cen Xihuai was stunned.
Xu Qingwu's cheeks flushed, and her expression was a little unnatural: "You were the one who told me not to be polite..."
