Chapter 100 How about getting the marriage certificate tomorrow?
"Dad, what are you talking about!"
In public, Zhou Tianjiao was politely rejected by Xie Peizhou. He couldn't put away his face and said to Mr. Zhou, "I haven't heard you talk about any child marriage!"
Old Master Zhou stroked his beard. "Back then, when our two families sat together and watched you playing in the mud in the yard, your father and I talked about strengthening our relationship in the future. We just didn't sign a written agreement back then."
"Now it seems that this is not a match made in heaven? Peizhou is unmarried, and you are unmarried. Now we are reunited, isn't it fate destined by heaven?"
Xie Peizhou maintained the faint smile of a younger generation, "Uncle Zhou, this isn't just a joke from the past. You and my father are like brothers. In my eyes, Tianjiao is like my own sister."
When Zhou Tianjiao heard Xie Peizhou's cold and gentle words, his hands hanging by his side curled up.
She looked at Xie Peizhou. The man was dignified and steady, with a stern brow, but the black eyes that met hers were filled with only courtesy and coldness.
She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Xie Peizhou said calmly, "Uncle Zhou, I wish you a happy ninetieth birthday again. May you be blessed with great fortune. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving now. I'll come visit you at your house another day."
"Xiaoci, Nian Nian, let's go."
After Xie Peizhou finished speaking, he looked at Wen Ci. His cold black eyes softened a bit and he waved to Nian Nian who was being held by Wen Ci.
Wen Niannian understood what she meant, let go of her mother's hand and ran towards Xie Peizhou.
Xie Peizhou squatted down and gently picked up his daughter.
"Grandpa Zhou, I'm leaving first."
Wen Ci had no choice but to politely greet Mr. Zhou and leave behind Xie Peizhou.
"Aci, what are you thinking about?"
After getting in the car, Wen Ci was still a little distracted until Xie Peizhou's gentle voice reached her ears.
Wen Ci came back to her senses, "I was wondering if I wasn't even a fertilized egg when you and Miss Zhou were playing in the mud?"
Who would have thought that just by joining in the fun, she would end up being Xie Peizhou's childhood sweetheart.
When Xie Peizhou and Zhou Tianjiao were playing in the mud, she must have not yet existed in this world, right?
Wen Ci couldn't bear to think that Xie Peizhou, a man of such a noble and steady character, also loved playing in the mud with girls when he was a child. Was he playing house?
"I really didn't have a childhood marriage. Even if there was one, it was just a joke between the elders on both sides. It can't be taken seriously."
Xie Peizhou was concentrating on driving, watching Wen Ci through the rearview mirror. He was worried that their relationship had just become a little closer, and this inexplicable "childhood marriage" would lead to misunderstandings again.
Xie Peizhou sighed in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would not have persuaded Wen Ci to attend the birthday party.
Headache……
"Mommy?"
Wen Niannian asked doubtfully, "What exactly is a child marriage? Does Grandpa Zhou mean that when uncle's future child and aunt's child grow up, they will get married?"
Wen Ci lowered her eyes and looked at her daughter's almond-shaped black eyes. After getting in the car, the little girl took off her mask.
Xie Peizhou's genes are too strong. The older the little girl grows, the more she looks like Xie Peizhou in her eyebrows.
She smiled gently and said, "Baby marriage means that when you are still young, your mother will help you find a husband, and when you grow up, you can get married according to the agreement. However, this is a feudal tradition in China, and it is rare nowadays."
Wen Niannian nodded, then realized, "What he meant was...that Grandpa Zhou wants Uncle to marry his daughter?"
Wen Ci: "That's what I mean."
Xie Peizhou's eyes flashed with worry. Just as he was about to explain, Wen Niannian said something shocking: "Ah? Uncle Grandpa wants to marry that aunt, what are you going to do?"
"Uncle, aren't you going to marry my mommy?"
"Nian Nian!"
Wen Ci's cheeks instantly became hot, and she hurriedly covered her daughter's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense!"
She was so eager to get married that she couldn't wait to marry Xie Peizhou.
She didn't completely trust him yet.
Xie Peizhou raised his eyebrows slightly, curled his thin lips, and loudly replied to his daughter, "Of course I want to marry your mommy. I dream about it."
Xie Peizhou looked at her gently through the rearview mirror, "How about we get the marriage certificate tomorrow?"
Wen Ci turned her little face and looked at the gray-black snow scene outside the window. "Tomorrow is Saturday, the Civil Affairs Bureau will be closed."
"So we're going next Monday?"
“…”
Wen Ci pursed her lips and didn't dare to reply.
But my heart was pounding.
After a while, she turned her head and quietly looked at Xie Peizhou's back as he concentrated on driving. Can they really get to the point of getting married?
Does Xie Peizhou really like her?
What does he like about her?
-
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the apartment rented by Wen Ci.
The house was pitch black, and the door of Xie Yiyi's side bedroom was open, confirming that she was not at home.
Xie Peizhou changed into a pair of gray slippers of the same style as Wen Ci's. A few days ago, when she took the little girl to the mall, Wen Ci saw the slippers and had a buy-two-get-one-free offer. She bought a pair for herself and Xie Yiyi, and then gave the free pair to him.
Xie Peizhou curled his lips. So what if they weren't bought specifically for him? Wen Ci only gave the shoes she gave him as a gift, not to other men.
"Niannian, go to the bedroom and read for a while. Uncle has something to say to your mommy."
As soon as he entered the house, Xie Peizhou coaxed Wen Niannian back to the bedroom.
Wen Niannian looked at Wen Ci in confusion. Seeing that Wen Ci didn't object, she nodded obediently and ran towards the bedroom with Wen Ci's cell phone in her hand.
Ever since her birthday in September, the "Dad" she missed so much didn't come to attend her birthday. Wen Ci told her the truth in the interrogation room of the police station, "Mommy fell in love with someone she shouldn't have loved, and then you were born. Your biological father didn't even know you existed, and he didn't love me either." After that, she seemed to have grown up all of a sudden and was no longer obsessed with her biological father's love.
She also hopes to have a man who can love Wen Ci as much as she loves her mother, and also be good to her.
Right now, Uncle Grandpa is doing a great job.
Wen Niannian even considerately closed the bedroom door.
Wen Ci heard the door close, her cheeks felt hot, and she poured a cup of warm water and placed it on the coffee table, "What are you going to say..."
Before she could finish her words, she was pulled into Xie Peizhou's arms.
Thinking of her daughter in the bedroom, Wen Ci didn't dare to make too much noise. Her heart was beating wildly, "What are you doing!"
Xie Peizhou kissed her lips for a long time before letting go. He said in a low, magnetic voice, "I really don't know about the child marriage that Mr. Zhou mentioned. My father never told me a word before he died."
Wen Ci's breathing instinctively froze for a moment when her lips were lightly bitten.
She looked into Xie Peizhou's dark and deep eyes, and suddenly remembered that before Grandpa Xie died, he called him into the operating room alone. "What did Grandpa Xie say to you before he died?"
Xie Peizhou looked into her innocent and doubtful eyes, and the scene of his father's death flashed before his eyes, and his eyes darkened.
He lowered his head and kissed Wen Ci's mouth again.
"My dad told me to take good care of you and your daughter and shoulder the responsibilities that I should shoulder."
